Bowing to the environmentalist lobby and Native American groups, liar-Clinton and liar-nObama used the Antiquities Act of 1906 to massively expand the Bear Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, located in southeastern Utah. These federal land grabs, totaling over two million acres, have long riled Utah residents, who see this as an example of rule by Washington elites who have little understanding or consideration of local issues. And, by the way, The Daily Signal notes, “Trump’s decision to relabel 2 million acres sounds like a lot until you realize that the liar-nObama administration set aside 554 million acres .”
In announcing his decision, Trump expressed the feelings of the locals, stating, “Some people think that the natural resources of Utah should be controlled by a small handful of very distant bureaucrats located in Washington. And guess what? They’re wrong. The families and communities of Utah know and love this land the best and you know the best how to take care of your land.”
Ironically, environmentalist groups and companies sought to paint Trump’s action as exactly the opposite. The Patagonia company asserted on its website, “The President Stole Your Land,” while REI bemoaned the “loss of acres of protected lands.” Talk about your reverse spin.
What Trump did do was to restore states’ rights, recreational opportunities of outdoor enthusiasts and land usage rights for ranchers and land owners. The land will now revert back to public land regulated by the state of Utah, not a bunch of Washington bureaucrats beholden to the wishes of special interest lobbyists and their dollars. ~The Patriot Post

Trey Gowdy Is Furious at Robert
Mueller’s Embarrassing Investigation
by Thomas
{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ Former prosecutor Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who has never lost a case, just fired off a warning shot to Special Counsel Robert Mueller... As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, he has already threatened to hold the FBI and Department of Justice in contempt of Congress for withholding information related to the removal of FBI agent Peter Strzok from Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. Gowdy explained on Fox News that this Special Counsel has serious “integrity” problems now that we’ve learned that anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok was removed for bashing the President on text messages with FBI lawyer Lisa Page, his mistress... https://thepoliticalinsider.com/trey-gowdy-mueller-probe-embarrassing/?utm_campaign=TPI_Morning_Newsletter_12_7_2017&utm_source=criticalimpact&utm_medium=email&utm_content=4b4ea4948726422aa6473c7b9fa19141&source=CI.
Pope Fears Jerusalem Embassy Could
Mean More Terrorism To Complicate Invasion
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ What could possibly have Pope Francis concerned with President Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moving our embassy there?... He’s acting as if he recognizes that Islamists can react violently when things don’t go their way and recognizes that he’s created a powder keg by infusing so many of them into Christian Europe and North America. Maybe he’s just afraid that the explosion he’s creating will come prematurely, before the numbers of conquerors have reached “ideal” and irreversible levels consistent with their dominion over the infidels. After all, showing the naive, accepting Europeans the true face of their future masters could dampen their hospitality and make it more difficult to reach the population levels needed for the creation of the new global UN-imposed caliphate...As far as I am concern, the Pope needs to keep out of politics and stick with the Word of God. https://rickwells.us/pope-jerusalem-embassy-invasion/.
House Passes
Interstate Concealed-Carry Gun Bill
by ALICIA POWE
{wnd.com} ~ A bill to allow gun owners with concealed-carry permits in one state to legally carry their weapons in any other state... overwhelmingly passed the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday by a vote of 231-198 in the GOP-controlled chamber, including six Democrats who voted in support. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., introduced the legislation, the “Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017” (H.R. 38), on Jan. 3. It treats concealed carry permits like driver’s licenses, validating a permit from one state in the other 49, to spare lawful gun owners having to navigate a confusing patchwork of concealed-carry laws around the nation. The interstate concealed-carry legislation is a “win for all those who believe in the sovereign rights of gun owners and preserving the rights of our Constitution,” Rep. Robert Pittenger, R-N.C., told WND after voting for the bill Wednesday... http://www.wnd.com/2017/12/house-passes-interstate-concealed-carry-gun-bill/.

GOP Lawmakers Press for Investigation of FBI’s ‘Special Treatment’ of Hillary Clinton Probe
by Rachel del Guidice
{dailysignal.com} ~ Conservatives are calling for an investigation of what they say was the FBI’s “special treatment” of liar-Hillary Clinton... ahead of the Dec. 7 testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray before the House Judiciary Committee. “I am proud to be joined by my fellow conservatives in the House to call for an investigation into the FBI’s procedures that allowed liar-Hillary Clinton to receive special treatment,” Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said at a press conference Wednesday. “We’ll also investigate the unprecedented bias against President Donald Trump that exists when we allow people who hate the president to participate in the investigations against him.” Gaetz, who was joined at the press conference by Reps. Jody Hice, R-Ga.; Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.; Scott Perry, R-Pa.; and Mark Meadows, R-N.C., called for an investigation into the FBI’s treatment of liar-Clinton’s email use. The FBI investigation was deemed as “special,” according to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe... http://dailysignal.com/2017/12/06/gop-lawmakers-press-investigation-fbis-special-treatment-hillary-clinton-probe/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell%22&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTmpjMk5tTm1Zamt5TjJaaSIsInQiOiIyWjNweHlQUEJ1eHN5a2pQKzY3R29YbGZKUDYxc041Y2o5ekR1UGl1TlFPWWhlMFJJVWd6S0FRVzRxUGFyUm11T2l3XC8zdVYrQ0J3alpablZmUGFFbytSb0tyWEt6ckhRQTFIbUVaWXA2MlBCeXp6aVFlemptemdiTSt4cGtVWFEifQ%3D%3D.

Trump Reverses Democrat Land Grabs
by Thomas Gallatin: The Left loves to reference “power to the people,” but they never mean what they say they mean. Rather it’s a call for greater power and control being given over to government elites; a call to authoritarianism. This leftist sentiment has been on full display since President Donald Trump’s announcement Monday authorizing the scaling back of two “national monuments” in Utah, reversing federal land grabs by Barack liar-nObama and liar-Bill Clinton.
