California Dessert? Is that strawberry pie prepared by an illegal immigrant or something?
Senator Diane Feinstein’s husband is Richard Blum - a real estate developer and broker. He’s made billions off government contracts. In 2011 the post office decided to sell a few historic buildings. The buyers were found they just needed someone to do the paperwork. He got the contract and charged commisions in excess of 900 million. He has also been contracted to sell decommissioned military bases. Richard Blum and his personal company (which includes DiFi) are the majority stockholders in Comcast.
In 2015, the Postal Service has decided to sell 56 more buildings and Blum was selected to do the deal, again. He should make another couple billion.
This is how politicians, like Harry Reid and others, become millionaires and billionaires.
Like vlrtually all of the Western States, the Fed Gov “owns” about 45% of California. Right next door, they “own” 85% of Nevada. These lands were the bribes these territories paid to become states. Take a look at the Eastern states, the Fed Gov owns very little land there. It’s long past time the Western States took this land back, but there will be “Cliven Bundy Challenges” from the BLM when and if efforrs are mounted to take the lands back. This is an Effed up country in so many ways!
Who in their right mind preserves a desert?

Republicans need to plan for a “State Lands Restoration Act”, that would return the vast majority of federal land takings back to the states. Granted, there are a few “national crown jewels”, that can be kept but with very tightly fixed borders, so they can’t be used to absorb nearby state or private lands.
Along with the restoration, there needs to be very strict limits placed on the denial of use of these lands for federal prerogatives. Be it endangered species, water, pollution, whatever, the bureaucracy should no longer be able to deny the use of these lands to the individual states based on the opinions of those who don’t live there.
Returning this vast amount of land to the individual states would be a huge defeat to both the Democrats and the United Nations. By itself, it would set back one of their major agenda items by perhaps a century.
