— andy Dana Perino, co-host of Fox News' The Five and former Press Secretary for President George W. Bush, joins Ace, Gabe, Drew, John and me to discuss a wide range of topics like the #WarOnWomen, IRS scandal and press transparency, and also to poke a little fun at Greg Gutfeld. But mainly to poke a little fun at Greg Gutfeld.
And then it gets dark ...
You can watch the full Gutfeld Not Cool interview that Dana mentions here. It's excellent. And on behalf of the HQ, thank you very much for the mention Greg.

You mean the same one who dissed and dismissed the House last year?
The one who's been held in contempt?
Who can't seem to produce any documents when asked?
Who can't figure out who was in charge of Fast and Furious?
THAT Attorney General?
Fcuk you Mr. Holder. You should be in jail with all the other criminals.

That song feels pretty bitter in contemporary context -- of the million pound shithammer of federal doom being dropped on some country boys in Nevada right this very minute.
I figure the next thing we'll hear is that the government have decided to retain the A-10 attack jet after all. To use on stubborn rural ranchers who won't shut up and do as they're told.

She got old. She's got a part in the Game of Thrones series. Looks nothing like she did back in the day, but I was wondering if maybe the oldified her even more than she really is.

We had a school board election this week. Candidates were very clearly of one stripe or the other, with one who was a bit of a wild card because she has no real record. Five candidates, three slots.
They elected the two "lets spend shedloads of money on all the crep we can" candidates, and the dingbat broad with no record.
Kicked off the guy who was on the board, and was trying to keep some semblance of fiscal responsibility going.
And this is an area that essentially NEVER runs Democrats, because they never win.
People are stupid.

+1. He admits to a minimum of $300k owed in grazing fees going back years. He's just another freeloader sucking on the public teat. Both sides of this one deserve to lose.

That's happens a lot in these audio only conversations. The participants can't see each other, so they miss those visual cues about when someone else is trying to talk. It's just a shortcoming of the medium.

The fed needs to give back the land. It would preclude a lot of bullshit like NV if they did.
I think the fed reaction to the NV rancher is just another push to get us to fire the first shot.

If someone is in a place where they have a legal right to be, and are not breaking the law, and not posing a threat, they shouldn't be hearing any such "back up or else force" orders from anyone in law enforcement. Not without a large cash settlement later.
Over the years, I have seen a few rogue police issue nonsensical commands with no actual justification and then hammer people for "failing to follow the orders of a police officer". That business needs to be more tightly overseen.
There are some circumstances where police are wholly justified in issuing orders. Not all circumstances. There must be reasonable grounds and accountability.

If you really love the person it's not stalking. You're facilitating their understanding of your love for them, and their reciprocal love which they will then recognize in themselves.

Enough is enough.
It is time for the Senate to pass my bipartisan Protecting Students from Sexual and Violent Predators Act and crack down on those who prey on children.
As the father of three young children, I cannot imagine the pain of a parent whose child has been sexually abused. As your U.S. senator, I am dedicated to strengthening laws to better protect kids - in Pennsylvania and across our country.
The House of Representatives passed this legislation unanimously. It's time for the Senate to do the same.

-------------
Apparently, Bundy stopped paying his grazing fees when they relocated the 'protected turtle zone' over to the property his family had had grazing rights on for over a century.
The Feds moved the 'protected turtle zone' from some land that developers wanted to use.
They revoked his grazing rights...over a turtle.
Barky gave windfarms a 30 year waiver for slaughtering Bald Eagles.
And now his BLM goons are using thug tactics over turtle.

His "business plan" dates back 130+ years
Not at all. If his business plan is predicated on the assumption of continued access to public land, that's not my concern. I'll admit I haven't followed this closely, so please explain why he has a right to land I own.

Not even a little bit.
Hmmm...trying to frame my response in such a way that makes each hordeling comfortable with his or her own personal diploma framing choices, while hoping that one in particular feels scorned like a douchenozzle.
I can see framing one if you're the first in your family to graduate college, or you never expected to make it, or there's some other compelling reason of merited pride to hang it up. My BA was not extraordinary to me.
My MBA was an achievement. It was at an undisputed top 10 b-school, it was a huge challenge for me (liberal arts refugee) and unlike undergrad I paid for it. But it's a diploma. It seems showoffy to put it up. Anybody who needs to know knows that I have that degree, employers can verify it.
I understand that doctors and lawyers put them up in their offices to reassure their clients that they've been educated. In business, though, I'm either making sense or I'm not, regardless of where I went to school.

This regime wants to be rid of beef. It wants to be rid of pork. And they'll be doing everything possible in the remaining time they have to do it.
Does anyone think that they won't be attempting to take over private grazing land? It's doesn't matter to them. They've been mandating over privately owned land for years.
What does anyone think those regulations over methane for cow farts are for? We're at war for our freedom. NV is just as good a place as any to start it. I'd be there if I had the means to get there.

If what you posted is accurate ( relocating a turtle protective zone in favor of a building development) and not prevailing in court, I don't know how someone cannot go ballistic. It makes me uncomfortable to feel this way because there are so many court decisions both civil and family where the loser does go ballistic but not based on anything a reasonable person would see as justified.
Such a thin line.

The Bundy family has been maintaining that land for decades...at their own expense.
Maintaining the roads, digging out the watering holes, etc. = maintenance.
The fees that they'd been paying used to go towards that, but the BLM stopped doing anything.
Their fees ended up just going towards feeding the bureaucracy.
Then...they moved over the 'protected turtle zone' to the land, from another area.
This was done to please some developers.
The whole thing stinks.

So the real question is "what should the federal govt do with land that it is not using?". Now myself wanting the most frugal govt in the history of the universe says lease it or sell it.* I suppose giving it to the each State might be an option if you want to argue who owns what. But what appears to be happening is that it will be used for leftist political causes, which would be the worst thing possible.
* but don't sell it to the Indians as they were all finders keepers mine mine mine when we got it the first time.

When the Federal government allows the purchase by private individuals of this land then you may have a point. Also if their agreement says the government is to make these improvements pursuant to the payments made to them that is wrong. And by the way, the payments to the government I assume come from the profits of rancher. Has the government given you any of it?

Pep? The govt is not owning this land for your benefit. It is to use it against you. To keep it from you. This is something being withheld from you as an American. At least with a grazing contract (which is in dispute here) some benefit of it reaches Americans.
Do you know how much national forest land is kept off limits to Americans? Its a fuckton in scientific terms.

I think they should have to pay a fee to exploit resources in public waters. That money should be spent on things like fishery replenishment, or the Coast Guard, so that when the CG has to haul the fisherman's asses out of a leaky boat in the middle of a storm, I'm not left paying for it.
The fishermen will naturally pass the increased cost onto the consumer. Great. Let the people who eat the fish derived from the fishery pay the expenses of being in the fish business.

You've got this part wrong, pep.
Bundy doesn't claim the land is "his" to do with as he pleases...
He wants to get his cattle off...but the government won't let him.
The BLM goons have confiscated his herd of cattle.
And they are piss poor stewards of them.
They've been stampeding them using helicopters...separating newborn calves from their mothers, because the little ones can't keep up.
Now...they're talking about having to put a lot of them down, euthanizing them...because they're too weak and skinny to survive.
Posted by: wheatie at April 11, 2014 02:11 PM (FWbLS)
He wants to get his cattle off...but the government won't let him.
From my admittedly imperfect understanding, the real issue is that Bundy was told 20 years ago to get his cattle off the land, and didn't do so. The Feds want him to pay the amount he gained by ignoring a valid order, and in lieu of his cutting a check, they've taken his cattle as collateral. Now he wants the ill-gotten fruits of that trespass and doesn't want to have to pay for his illegal use of public land. Sorry, but no. If you deliberately ignore the law in an attempt to continue enriching yourself, then tough.
