Who Are the Maudes, and Why Did Biden Try to Ruin Their Lives?
PJ Media ^ | May 01, 2025 | Sarah Anderson

If you watched Donald Trump's cabinet meeting on Wednesday, you may have seen Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins hold up a photo of the Maude family of South Dakota. I'd heard a little bit about the fifth-generation ranching family before that, but I decided to learn more because I couldn't believe the story Rollins told about how the Joe Biden administration treated them. It's unbelievable. Or maybe it's not, given all we're learning about the last four years.

...

Trump Admin is reversing Biden-era failures in 100 days! The U.S. Gov has dropped charges against the Maude family, victims of lawfare, & launched a @USDA portal to protect farmers.

Over-criminalization by the federal government is OVER. Regulation by prosecution is NO MORE!

....

the ranch has been a part of Charles' family since 1907. Charles himself has been a part of the business throughout his entire life, even receiving his very own cow as a gift before he was born. He purchased the ranch from his grandfather in 2002 and 2003.

...

special agent Travis Lunders and U.S. Forest Service patrol captain Jeff Summers told the Maudes they received a complaint from a hunter that a no trespassing sign was posted on a fence not built upon the correct boundary. The Maudes removed the sign from the fence. The family has owned the property adjacent to the U.S. Forest Service-managed Buffalo Gap National Grasslands since 1910.

The fence assumed to be in question was accepted as the property boundary by the USDA annually through the certification of acres by the USDA Farm Service Agency every year since Buffalo Gap National Grasslands was established in 1960.

...

Lunders arrived unannounced at the Maudes’ home on June 24, 2024, armed and in tactical gear, to serve the couple with separate federal indictments.

Never mind the Maudes, why did Biden spend 4 years trying to ruin my life? Biden or whoever was hiring his diaper changers.

article: "Lunders arrived unannounced at the Maudes’ home … armed and in tactical gear."

That's the story in a nutshell. Video games and Youtube is creating a dysfunctional nation of wanna-be-Rambos.

Somehow I don't think this is how Sheriff Andy Taylor would have handled it.

Special Agent Lunders should be fired. I can just about guarantee the complaint was made up and the survey that has never been made public or shared with the Maudes could be completely inaccurate.

USFS and BLM are always pulling this shit to put ranchers out of business so billionaires can buy their land.

Fed’s misconduct in Cliven Bundy case stems from Ruby Ridge..

Federal judge Gloria Navarro slammed the FBI and Justice Department for “outrageous” abuses and “flagrant misconduct” in the prosecution of Cliven Bundy and sons, the Nevada ranchers who spurred a high-profile standoff with the FBI and Bureau of Land Management in 2014.

""The fence assumed to be in question was accepted as the property boundary by the USDA annually through the certification of acres by the USDA Farm Service Agency every year since Buffalo Gap National Grasslands was established in 1960."" ANNUAL CERTIFICATION? Tell me the USDA doesn't have anything better to do!! Notice Vilsack's name in the article - doesn't mention what he did about this but when he was in office during obozo's administration, there was scandal attributed to his job...not enough black farmers in the country or something as ridiculous as that... <> Ordered not to speak to one another about the case? THAT has to be a joke! Ridiculous case, ridiculous charges and the family is not to talk about it????? WHO or WHAT kind of person would come up with a dumb statement like that? Good grief - only a government employee!!!

“”Usually means your post was to long.””

Thanks - I don’t believe it was - even the paragraphs were only 1 or 2 sentences...hard to tell when it was posted as it was so garbled...Never had it happen before...just really odd.

This war against ranchers and miners has been going on for years.

Mr. GG2 had a ranger try to stop him from going to his legal mining claim on government land. Fortunately his attorney, A personal happened to be with him at the time.

Another time Mr. GG2 and his hunting buddies actually had to disarm a ranger who pulled out a gun and started waving it around. He was trying to run them out of a legal hunting area. They took his gun away and ran him off and told him he could pick up the gun at the Sheriff’s office.

These people are demonic.
