Tensions between states’ rights supporters and the federal government remain high after the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) retreated last week at the Bundy Ranch after a tense standoff with hundreds of supporters, many of whom were armed.
The Bundy Ranch situation has escalated little over the course of 20 years, but finally, the BLM stepped too far when they claimed dominion over thousands of acres of land in Nevada and began seizing Cliven Bundy’s cattle. The response by patriots throughout the country was swift and awe-inspiring as citizens flocked to the middle of nowhere to support the rancher, including TPNN.
It seems, however, that the BLM has not received the message. In fact, the BLM has intended to seize roughly 90,000 acres that belongs to Texas along the Oklahoma/Texas border.

And oBastard wouldn’t borrow Blue Helmet troops, right?
I don’t think there are enough. At that point it is total war.
If true, someone else thought of it. He is too lame brained to have come up with the idea.
The staying in the White House is not going to work, DC is only separated from Virginia by some short bridges. You can walk from Arlington to the White House in less than an hour.
Not sure the feds have enough bodies for the attrition.
I’m sure if they tried they’d have plenty of bodies.
