This should be of interest in this thread. While it covers the Louisiana Purchase it also includes the title of the U.S. to lands west of the Rocky Mountains .. and is official ... being from the US Government Printing Office.

The last one on the list seems a good deal at $53.
Another environmental group that probably receives govt. grants then uses the money to strong arm the BLM and USFS.

Groups like the Wilderness Society with their “BLM Action Center” boast about being able to leverage the inefficiencies of the BLM (Bureau Of Land Management) by writing policy, taking inventories, and even training BLM employees in how to carry out the agenda, not of the administration but of the Wilderness Society…these groups lobby the Department of Justice to prosecute innocent people. And even worse than that, the Department of Justice does it! This is the very definition of mob rule.
Opinion: A Government of Bullies
by Phil Lyman
What should we expect of government? If we expect a progressive improvement in government, then we expect what never was and, logically, never will be. Seneca wrote that “Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.” I am dumbfounded when I watch agencies or elected officials willingly submit to the pressure of special interest groups. In fact, as one observes the collusion of politicians, appointed judges, agency appointees, with special interest attorneys and organizers, the hope of protecting the rights of honest people seems almost lost.
James Madison, one of the framers of our Constitution, wrote, “Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
I recently came across an excerpt from the 1928 U.S. Army Training Manual. It gave the following definition of a democracy: “Democracy: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any form of “direct” expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic — negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.” As politically unacceptable as that definition of “democracy” is today, it is historically spot on.
Is it anti-federal government to demand representation in government? Is it not the highest form of patriotism to stand up against the tide of mob rule that threatens our Republic? Yet the special interest groups label all who oppose them as “anti-government.”
Groups like the Wilderness Society with their “BLM Action Center” boast about being able to leverage the inefficiencies of the BLM (Bureau Of Land Management) by writing policy, taking inventories, and even training BLM employees in how to carry out the agenda, not of the administration but of the Wilderness Society.
The Wilderness Society and the PEW Trust join arms with Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, The Great Old Broads from Colorado, and the Grand Canyon Trust, The Conservation Lands Foundation, and a host of others to overwhelm the Counties. They form “friends” groups, they bus in protestors, they lie, they accuse; anything to achieve their desired ends. Massive robo-petitions and form letters from these special interests lead to the implementation of bad policy based on false metaphor. Even worse, these groups lobby the Department of Justice to prosecute innocent people. And even worse than that, the Department of Justice does it! This is the very definition of mob rule.
We are at a place in history where the law is used, not to protect property, but to take it. As this condition worsens, the responsibility to stand up increases. The disease will run its course and will inevitably lead not to the death of our Republic, but to an implosion and demise of the disease itself. How blessed we are to live in such a time as this!
So the call is clear. Whether the new administration will heed the invitation to restore the Republic is yet to be seen but I and thousands of individual Americans with the power to observe are hopeful that they will.

Open Letter to President-Elect Donald Trump re: Agriculture — by Trent Loos
January 17, 2017 - Food & Fiber, Government/Politics, Trent Loos - Tagged: agriculture, farmer, Range, RANGEfire, Trent Loos, Trump, USDA - 1 comment
Mr. Trump, please let me begin by saying how excited those of us are who proudly call Rural America home. We want to say Thank You. You stood tall for the very values and principles the founding fathers put forth in the Constitution of the United States of America. All we have ever asked for is power for “we the people” and the “pursuit of happiness” which our forefathers envisioned.

With that said, I feel I represent the lion’s share of farmers and ranchers in this great nation who ask for your deep consideration in naming your final cabinet position, that of Secretary of Agriculture.
As Abraham Lincoln stated on May 15, 1862, the USDA shall be referred to as “The People’s Department.”
And for this very reason we feel very strongly that it should be run by a real person of the land – to be specific:
A FARMER
http://youtu.be/ZRDaPEaDJ7E
The farmers of today are survivors. They have weathered challenges not only from Mother Nature but more severely from the Federal Government. The farmer develops a plan but understands the need to adapt to any storm and figures out a solution regardless of the obstacles.
I see the political arena sharing parallels to these challenges. The Secretary of Agriculture undoubtedly will need to be someone who has experienced adversity, learned from it and become stronger and wiser in weathering political storms.
http://rangefire.us/wp-content/uploa...-2-300x239.jpg
The farmer of today has learned to judiciously implement the latest and greatest in technology. No longer can we rely on back breaking work and high labor inputs. We must run an efficient operation with each person on the team pulling their full weight and balancing many roles.
I see the same requirements for the crew chief at the USDA. The USDA currently employs 105,778 people making it the largest agency in the Federal Government. That number is tremendously troubling when a report from the Farm Foundation Organization states that only 76,000 farm families produce 80% of the food in this country.
As well as knowing agriculture, the farmer of today must be well versed in health and nutrition. With millions of acres of land planted to crops of all types, they only flourish if the organic matter of the soil is at a healthy level. The farmer must feed an ideal diet to each of the 9 billion animals they produce each year in order for them to maintain high health and efficient growth in order to be competitive in the market place.
The head chef, also known as the Secretary of Agriculture, must oversee a food guide pyramid that all institutions in the United States will follow. I must say, Sir, if the farmer fed his livestock or plants like the USDA feeds our nation’s youth, seniors or military, he would be broke. The nutrition guidelines put forth do not come close to the proven scientific recommendations available for healthy living today.
http://rangefire.us/wp-content/uploa...-1-300x209.jpg
The farmers of today have moved away from a reliance upon a government subsidy and more on the basic principle of supply and demand for sustainability. We have accomplished great things through our work ethic and the knowledge gleaned from the USDA-driven Land Grant institutions so that we may produce more with less.
Meanwhile, we know that 80% of the Farm Bill goes to SNAP and only 15% is actually paid to farmers in the form of a safety net for domestic food production. It would appear to me that the farmer would be the perfect person to run the USDA and implement this reduced reliance strategy for the nation as a whole. This would go a long way in decreasing the 94 million Americans that currently draw some form of government assistance.
While I could go on for quite some time with a logical list of reasons that an actual farmer should be the Secretary of Agriculture, this one statement summarizes it best.
When Abraham Lincoln created the USDA it took in excess of 5 acres of land to produce enough food to feed one person for a single year. As you begin your term in 2017, it will require less than 1/3 of an acre for the
http://rangefire.us/wp-content/uploa...-2-300x159.jpg
farmer to produce the same supply of food for one person for one year.
While it is widely known in Rural America that “God made a farmer” to tend to his creation, we ask and even pray that you understand the importance of that statement and give serious consideration to continuing the great thing that God started.

Get rid of the dept of ag. it's a waste of money.
I remember fondly the days after Nixon sold off the grain reserve. Corn and wheat stored in gov bins used to keep prices low and compete against farmers.
Didn't Soviet Union buy all of it? I thought he sold it to them for less than production value so that they would shut up about the Apollo project!Quote:

Summary Evidence Shows Lawfully Armed Protesters
Document shows anyone photographed with a weapon…
The Government’s absurd narrative surrounding the Bundy Ranch Protest just went to the next level. Lawfully armed protesters are now items of evidence in the case. Sixty eight (70) unnamed citizens, along with forty three (43) others identified by name appear in the document (ECF No. 1317). The purpose of the document appears to be a mechanism to bolster the embellished claims of a “massive armed assault”.
https://bundyranchstandoff.info/wp-c...ct-150x150.jpg
Most of the seventy (70) citizens have the label (“UNSUB”), or unknown subject. In addition, two have the label (“FNU LNU”), or first name unknown, last name unknown. Images with arrows pointing at their weapons frequently appear throughout the document.
By the numbers…
The document also exhaustively tallies types of weapons present during the protest. In addition to the types of weapons, the document groups together the location of the citizen in possession of the weapon during the protest. Consequently, there is an assertion of presumption that anyone lawfully armed was a participant in what the Government describes as a conspiracy to assault, threaten, extort, and impede innocent Federal Agents acting to execute a lawful court order.
For example, the document lists 109 individuals with firearms. Since some citizens had both handguns and long guns, the document cites a total of 118 weapons. Subsequently, 74 were handguns, 44 were long guns. In addition to weapon tallies, the document enumerates the number of citizens present both at the bridge and in the Tuquop Wash.
Nineteen named defendants…
Of the forty three (43) named individuals, only nineteen (19) appear on the indictment. As such, there are twenty three ( 23 ) others who did not come under indictment. The math is not wrong because Schuyler Barbeau is (still) under pre-trial incarceration for a weapons violation in Washington. The document does not give any relevant clues explaining their exclusion. Consequently, there is no way to know if their inclusion is of any significance beyond statistical analysis. This has always led defendants to wonder if the indictment is tantamount to selective prosecution.
Lawfully armed protesters, just exercising rights…
The Government’s assault on the Second Amendment is plainly obvious. Individuals in lawful possession of a weapon are now subject to being evidence to support barely plausible claims of conspiracy. As a result, the choice to lawfully carry a weapon while exercising 1st Amendment Rights can give rise for the Government to find room to either indict a citizen or use them as evidence against another; for nothing more than lawfully possessing a weapon.
We are well past “When tyranny becomes law…”. The Republic is on life support.
