That's Kristi Noem in the photo. She's now US Secretary of Homeland Security.

At least, probably. Makes them look more like Miss America contestants -- or TV anchors -- than cabinet officers or women of true intelligence, power, influence.

STOP talking about FIGHTING all the time! Please. Find better words and a better strategy.
We're all so beyond tired of all the fighting and constant talk about fighting. Enough!

Interesting perspective.
I was very glad to see nearly all of them honored. And I don't begrudge the others.

That's amusing -- and a matter of perspective?

I DO NOT want to see his posts, regardless of what they say. Please don't port them over here.

It was merely a snide comment, not a serious suggestion.

Most of the money is going to be spent over time and absolutely not all for highways. This is a very skewed and rather ridiculous report.

Plus a whole lot of them were killed en route.

If the new "administration" needs another agency to abolish, I vote for Fish & Wildlife, because they don't seem to understand that their job is to protect fish, wildlife, and Wildlands, not ranchers and hunters.

That's a bit like students who paid ridiculous amounts with long-term long contracts to attend get-rich-quick-and-easy sham "colleges."
In both, people are flat-out stupid to fall for that. I admire your action in alerting people. I'm skeptical that those people listen to NPR or senators, though.

It needs to be at least reviewed for accuracy. I downloaded it, discovered it wasn't good in that format, but noticed a photo of a dairy cow. Ranches raise "beef cattle," NOT dairy cows! So that makes me wonder....

Just FYI, I cannot find any reliable source of this information, other than social media posts. I seriously doubt that it's true.

What a great title and a great book! Gov't-subsidized ranchers raising animals just for slaughter and thus killing or jeopardizing wildlife is one of the biggest outrages that everyone seems to ignore. But it's from 2002. Someone need to update this to get it into libraries, Hoopla, and Overdrive.

So stop looking! Read news in other sources, instead.
