President Obama designated three new national monuments in the California desert Thursday, expanding federal protection to 1.8 million acres of landscapes that have retained their natural beauty despite decades of heavy mining, cattle ranching and off-roading.

All your state are belong to us.
Nothing more beautiful than a bunch of sand and few scorched shrubs, heaven forbid this land should be used to serve humanity.
So we'll now make then off-limits to heavy mining, cattle ranching and off-roading in order to retain their natural beauty
From the article:"Much of the land was purchased more than a decade ago by private citizens and the Wildlands Conservancy, then donated to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in anticipation of its eventually receiving the protection of national monument status."
Don't you worry, the liberals will find a way to to hand this property over to be used by their cronies for solar scams funded by taxpayers, which will result in the deaths of thousand of birds and other protected wildlife.
Moves from BLM to “Monument/wilderness”...severely limiting what the public can do on the land. 3 general levels: “BLM”/Monuments-Preserve/National Parks” with increasing restrictions in each level. Perhaps the term should be “land use/control grab”.
Silver, vanadium, tungsten, zinc, lead, copper, borax, aggregates...

let’s turn Washington into a national monument after the next civil war. every last inch
Except that this was private land donated for a park.
Some volcanic cinder mines (red “lava rock”)...gave rise to the famous “Mojave Phone Booth” near the Aiken Cinder Mine. The fun of calling a phone booth in the middle of nowhere dozens of miles from a paved road ended after the last large land grab by Clinton in the 90’s (Mojave Preserve). See:

tread...tread...tread.
Small fraction of the total acreage were donations to the BLM...and should have stayed under BLM jurisdiction. Personally worried about the Afton Canyon area...some nice areas for off-road vehicle trips: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/barstow/afton.html
More land that will no longer be taxable by the county or the state.
No more taxes going to provide money to the local schools or to provide money for the up keep of infrastructure.
What a CHILD Oblama is.
Yep, rest of his lame-duck term is going to be “in your face”.

Not funny at all. I would not be surprised to discover that the government actually coordinates with the group during land purchases or even that in some cases government intiates the process on certain lands it wants purchased and subsequently donated it. It is a classic example of how the anti-American Left operates -taxpayers are eventually actually funding the leeches 'expenses' who as well siphon off funds to donate to Leftist Politicians and Causes. Leftism creates nothing -it is an expense imposed upon society by force of government.

Excerpt:
Land conservation group that opposes development and construction projects.Buys property that it later "donates" to the federal government, which in turn agrees that it will allow little or no development on the land; the government then reimburses the group for its efforts.
Unless something has been found that’s new the operating mine is gold
How much is much? Regardless, it's still not 'all' which means the federales grabbed the rest.
