All these agencies with names that are supposedly to promote things beut only exist to empower bureaucrat tyrants. Who has the Dept of Education educated? What energy has the Dept. of Energy produced?

I have a big mud puddle on my property from all the rain. If I promise not to farm in my puddle or the surrounding useless mud, can it be protected by federal law as a wetland? Or is the gov not interested in those who don’t want to farm around their puddles?

Should I notify the Dept of Agriculture that I have a puddle? If I do, can I get federal crop insurance for my tomato plants? (They are in buckets, NOT in the puddle.) I want to do the right thing!

In 2011, a division of the Department of Agriculture ruled that a small seasonal mud puddle on Arlen Foster’s farm is protected by federal law as a wetland.

This poor guy has been dealing with this for the last 10 years. If he would've shot the first bureaucrat to trespass on his property......he probably could've worked a plea deal to have

#1 been out of prison by now

#2 expedited things to have spent less in lawyer fees

#3 probably discouraged anyone else from lurking around the property.......

After years of litigation, the Sacketts gave up and left the area. Unfortunately, Sackett was convicted of trying to procure a 12 year old girl for sex, was prosecuted, and convicted in North Dakota.

Pretty convenient for the Federal government, no?

It was a bizarre twist, but there are no coincidences.
