[COLORADOPOLITICS] Even as officials of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife insist the recent killing of a calf by wolf is not their fault, the relationship with ranchers has soured to the point private landowners have begun considering to restrict state access to their properties, potentially jeopardizing programs that rely on the latter's help.
Notably, private landowners play a significant role in the state's conservation work. Indeed, the state's private land program says without that support, "modern-day Colorado's remarkable wildlife abundance — and equally rich hunting and fishing opportunities — simply would not exist."
That support is now in jeopardy.
Last week, as CPW officials maintained they were just trying to do their jobs, a letter from the Yuma County Cattlemen’s Association said ranchers will be less likely to help Colorado Parks and Wildlife and open land to the public because of how the wolf reintroduction transpired.
One or more of the wolves released in Grand County in December — which came from wolf packs in Oregon with a history of killing livestock — killed a calf near Kremmling on April 2. It was the first kill by one of the December wolves, although the predators from Wyoming who moved into Jackson County have already killed at least 16 livestock, sheep, and working dogs.
Commissioner Marie Haskett of Meeker addressed the wolf kill and CPW’s involvement during an April 5 commission meeting. "It's been quiet, but depredation has begun," she said. "I would like to ask people not to blame CPW for the wolf depredations. What we did was mandated (by law)."
Haskett said the wolf introduction was the people's will, adding, "We need everybody to work with us, so please remember that. And don't hold it against CPW. It was just something that we had to do by law."
CPW Director Jeff Davis echoed Haskett, saying, "CPW is just implementing the law" Folks, he said, tend to see the agency as "doing this to them." I just followed orders isn't a valid defense, bud.
Erin Karney, executive vice president for the Colorado Cattlemen's Association, isn't buying that argument.
Karney said the state agency decided which wolves would be brought to Colorado, including animals that came from packs with a history of killing livestock. As an agency, officials must take responsibility for releasing the wolves, Karney said, adding the officials know wolves are apex predators - that's animals atop the food chain with no natural predators.
Hence, Karney argued, it's not reasonable for agency officials to claim they aren't responsible.
During the April 2 hearing, Davis claimed that wildlife staff have attempted to minimize the conflicts, adding that the agency stands with ranchers "in their anger and their fear." Goddamn liberal assclowns coming here and fucking up the state even more to make themselves feel better while taxing us into poverty. Fuck Colorado. Sad to see my native state go so downhill and I'm leaving.

Yeah, I dealt with these do-nothing idiots when I lived in Evergreen CO, on Bear mountain (@8000ft) west of Denver. ('95-'01)
Every time I would take in a broken razorhead, Elk cape or full severed head they would find some way to ignore the year-round bowhunter meat poaching.
"Just practicing",
"Oh, that's valuable. I'm not in animal control. I have to go to lunch",
"Probably fell out of a hunter's truck, returning from Utah".
A bear ate my dog.
"He doesn't have a collar."
"That was probably a mountain lion."
Found my silver-dapple longhaired dachsund (dog) arrow-skewered and trophy skinned for his hide.
"Did you take him to a vet?"
[Gateway] Harrison Floyd, former leader of Black Voices for Trump and a defendant in Fani Willis’s lawfare suit against President Trump and his associates, caught Fulton County District Attorney committing another crime.
It is already widely known that Willis committed perjury when lying in court about the length of her affair with her lead prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade. Both Willis and Wade lied about when their affair started in order to cover up that she hired him not on his talent or legal mind but because she could then work with the traffic attorney and pay him for his services in the Trump RICO case.
Wade was forced to resign from the case for committing the exact same crimes as his lover who is still overseeing the case against the former president. The legacy media has completely ignored Fani’s lawlessness as they cover this charade.
Now Harrison Floyd has caught Willis in another criminal act. Floyd alleged Willis illegally recorded a telephone call with his attorney in an unrelated criminal case in Maryland. Maryland is a two-party state, meaning both parties in an electronic discussion must give their permission to record the conversation.
Harrison Floyd pointed this out last week in his threat to Fani Willis.
IF Trumps survives and is back in the White House.
Too many in Atlanta, NYC, AZ, CA, DC Swamp and the 5th columnists in various Federal departments all stand to be brought to trial for their subversive / treasonous conspiracy participation.
My greatest worry for Trump is another DC Swamp Lee Harvey solution.
[NYPOST] Does state Attorney General Letitia James believe her only job is attacking Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
Now she’s going after the ex-prez for posting the bond on the $454 million civil-fraud judgment she won against him in February, a step he must take in order to appeal.
Last week, Trump posted the $175 million bond, provided by Knight Specialty Insurance Co., to temporarily prevent James from snatching up Trump Tower and other assets (an outcome she’s been raring for since the judgment was passed down) while he continued to fight the ruling in an appeals court.
Not good enough for Tish: On Thursday, the AG’s office filed paperwork demanding that Trump or the insurer prove within 10 days that they can make good on the bond, claiming the state took "exception to the sufficiency of the surety" provided by Trump.
This does nothing except gum up the appeals process, and make Trump jump through more legal hoops — all for a civil case with no victims.

[ZeroHedge] A sentencing requirement that Jan. 6 defendant Daniel Goodwyn have his computer monitored by the government for "disinformation" has been vacated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
That’s better than a kick in the pants, I suppose.
The court on March 26 published a mandate sending the case back to U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton to remove the computer monitoring requirement he issued as part of the sentencing judgment in the case on June 15, 2023.
"Judge Walton had no legal basis to issue the special condition," Carolyn Stewart, Mr. Goodwyn’s attorney, told The Epoch Times in an April 3 email.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the judge "plainly erred" in imposing the computer monitoring. Judges Gregory Katsas, Naomi Rao, and Bradley Garcia issued a per curiam order vacating the monitoring provision.
Judge Walton, when imposing a 60-day jail sentence in June 2023, said Mr. Goodwyn spread "disinformation" during a broadcast of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on March 14, 2023. Judge Walton ordered that Mr. Goodwyn’s computer be subject to "monitoring and inspection" by a probation agent to check if he spread Jan. 6 disinformation during the term of his supervised release.
The judge also referred to Mr. Goodwyn spreading alleged "misinformation," using the term interchangeably with "disinformation."
Mr. Goodwyn, 35, of Corinth, Texas, pleaded guilty on Jan. 31, 2023, to one misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. The charge could have meant up to a year in prison.
60 DAYS BEHIND BARS
On June 6, 2023, Judge Walton sentenced Mr. Goodwyn to 60 days in prison, a year of supervised release, a $2,500 fine, and a $500 restitution payment. Read the rest at the link

Trump's got it right.
Leave it up to the STATES instead of DC.
The State voters should actually be the only a real say in the matter.
Instead of a National Political Party, well known to be funded by PPH, a collection Global Population Control Elitists and even genocidal racists with agendas.
But, why no outcry?
Well Federal Politicians, Lobbyist and companies with a history of seeking to trim certain minority racial populations and the medical industry selling Stem cells and baby parts will lose a source of $$$$$, votes and/or power.
BTW: look it for yourself.
estimated number of Blacks & minorities eliminated from the US Population, by abortion since 1980.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. - 10th Amendment
Clear as a bell except for the overly educated who seek to work around that dastardly called amending the Constitution, 2/3rd of the House and Senate and 3/4 quarters of the states. That it's been done 27 times means its not impossible. It takes broad consensus not special interests. That is a republic.

Well Lindsey, get a bill passed and the president to sign it.
You know why that will never happen? For the same reason bills to codify it into law as a right never happened. Not enough people on either side will support it and if their representative goes against that, they will lose their job.

It is a right now in several states by majority vote. Pretty much all that's left for pro-life people is to push back with a law that says people are entitled to opt out of paying for other people's abortions.

Graham is just doing a cameo for the never Trump crowd because Romney and those other clowns are not believable with respect to a Pro-Life message. Lindsey will be back to being a mole for them in the Trump camp tomorrow. In reality, Lindsey’s Pro-Life views are just a mask. Pro-Life folks don’t love war to the extent that Graham does.

..strange as it is, those same states don't allow the death penalty for brutal crimes. Babies however....
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A new article out from Salon puts a wild spin on the recent phenomenon of strange men punching women in the face randomly on the streets of New York: they blame MAGA.
The headline reads "Men punching random women in NYC: A desperate last gasp of the male rage fueling MAGA." The claim from writer Amanda Marcotte is that the random attacks "are an extreme manifestation of men feeling entitled to women's time and attention."
Stephanie Weng was attacked near Manhattan's Union Square by "a creep spotted in a 'Lilo & Stitch' sweatshirt," the New York Post reports. The man punched Weng in the face. Weng sounds like a Chinese name. It couldn't possibly be that the MAGA-enraged (black) fellow who did the thumping was expressing anti-Asian xenophobia rather than misogyny?
Mostly, I suspect, he was thumping those he expected would not hit back. Asian women, for some unknown reason, have a reputation for being gentle and submissive.
There have been additional accounts, and none of them have been linked to right-leaning political motivations. But still, you know. They coulda been, right? Ashley Cruz was hit in the face by a man on 6th Avenue and 14th Street.
Skiboky Stora has been arrested for punching one woman. Only one?
Only one that he was arrested for. Heaven only knows how many others there were before or since.
He went on to represent himself in court and is "a criminal recidivist with an extensive criminal record." He is also the great-great-grandson of civil rights activist Marcus Garvey. A perfect exemplar of white rage. It could have been because she's Hispanic, not because she's a woman, but don't you believe it, not for a moment. Marcus Garvey, for those who don't recall him or never heard of him, used to dress up like a Gilbert & Sullivan admiral and advocate for Colored Folk (they weren't black back then) to return to the Mother Continent…
"He is a frequent candidate for elected office and performing artist who records rap music under the name Designer Attitude," the Post states. See? MAGA. Toldja so. Malliak Miah was arrested as well and charged with assault after he was suspected of punching a woman in the face in Greenwich Village. Other attacks have been reported to police.
That's totally irrelevant to Salon, however, which claims that the women "were just living their lives, and that, it seems, is what enraged their assailants." Aren't we all "just living our lives" until we're dead? Then we don't care.
Marcotte brings the attacks back to the complaint that men are enraged by women who don't pay attention to them. You'd think after a while they'd get used to it.
"These stories resonate," Marcotte writes, "as well, because the nation is having a moment of increasingly unhinged male fury at women for daring to have lives that are centered around something other than catering to a man's every whim. Unleashed by Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... and the MAGA movement, there's an upswell of loud male entitlement shouting at us from every corner." You sure?
Marcotte then links it all back to Jordan Peterson, "trad wives," Ben Shapiro, and "backlash" against feminism. Oh, Jordan! Oh, Ben! How could you?
And who does Salon blame for all that? Young, male Trump voters, not criminals. "The rise of MAGA is fueled by misogyny. But it's less a backlash than a tantrum, a rage explosion by men who want to restore their dominance but fear that, this time, ... but only this time...
women won't buckle to their bullying. This rash of men punching women in New York City captures this moment in a dark way," Marcotte writes. Ummm... Yes. In a dark way. You sure that's not racist?
As to who is actually to blame for the direct, violent mostly peaceful, real life attacks on women? That, she says, is irrelevant. "We don't even need to know their names or faces Especially not their faces...
to know that men who do this are losers, lashing out because they've learned that actually, women don't owe them anything just because they're men." Sadly, I suppose, some men and some women continue under the illusion that we owe each other a bit of respect and good behavior. But the number does seem to be diminishing.
Marcotte, of course, doesn't know anything about the men suspected in these attacks. She only knows that they are men and that is enough for her to label them with the most vile of all labels: MAGA. I think the biggest news in this article is that Salon is still around.
They think of themselves as a smart tabloid with a leftwing, San Francisco sensibility (not something I would boast about, but I’m not the target audience). In the almost thirty years since founding, they’ve apparently never once made a profit, which points to the popularity of the viewpoint even among those who share it.
[NYPost] President Biden and Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut... were visiting Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, respectively, Monday to tout multibillion-dollar giveaways to tens of millions who took out loans to pay for college — earning blowback from congressional Republicans who say the scheme could cost US taxpayers more than half a trillion dollars.
The White House announced a new student loan plan that would cancel debt for 4 million borrowers, provide $5,000 in debt relief to more than 10 million and cut any accrued interest for another 23 million borrowers.
"Thanks to our unapologetic commitment to provide relief to as many borrowers as possible as quickly as possible, our regulatory efforts would help tens of millions more borrowers find financial breathing room — and help fix our country’s broken higher education system," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement.
The Department of Education has helped cancel $146 billion in student debt for 4 million people through executive actions, the White House added.
