Now That the Feds Have Backed Off, Where Does This Leave the Nevada Rancher in His Battle With the Gov’t?

‘The Door Isn’t Closed’

For now, however, a relative calm has fallen on Gold Butte and Bunkerville, the return of armed federal agents increasingly unlikely. But Washington’s decision over the weekend to cease its roundup operations does not mean it has abandoned its plans to exercise authority over Nevada’s public lands.

“The door isn’t closed,” Bureau of Land Management spokesman Craig Leff said after federal agents retreated from the area. “We’ll figure out how to move forward with this.”

Aided by armed militiamen, some of whom were reportedly in Nevada at Bundy’s invitation, the veteran rancher has won himself a brief reprieve.

But it’s unlikely he’ll win any meaningful legal battles in the near future.

As I stated in a post yesterday, "When I wrote the description for this video, I did my very best to stay neutral, and just allow the video to speak for itself." I am maintaining the same stance in providing this story.  The opinions coming from various legal sources, however, seem to say that Mr. Bundy may not have the grazing rights that he believes he does.  There are still many questions to be answered, such as the big one:  What is the government going to do now about the Bundy ranch situation? 

Last Saturday (April 12, 2014), we were just an itchy trigger finger away from what could have been a disaster for everybody involved.  Many lives could have been lost in a standoff gone very wrong.  Thankfully, the U.S. government decided to stand down.

So, how is the government going to find a way to resolve the dispute without a future blood bath?  All I can say is that we'll have to wait and see.  I can imagine that, for a very different reason than what Sen. Harry Reid said, "It's Not Over," we may still be on the brink of a looming tragedy.  Whether he is right or wrong, we would hope that the federal government doesn't want to make a martyr out of Cliven Bundy.  The timing would be somewhat embarrassing for Obama's administration due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine.  Trying to negotiate a peaceful resolution in the Geneva talks would make diplomacy a little more difficult if we had a violent resolution of our own disagreement over state sovereignty with a rancher in Nevada!  Just sayin'...

Now That the Feds Have Backed Off, Where Does This Leave the Nevada Rancher in His Battle With the Gov’t?

Cliven Bundy

Federal agents waved the white flag Saturday and retreated from Gold Butte, Nev., releasing some 389 “trespass cattle” that had been rounded up as the result of an ongoing land dispute between rancher Cliven Bundy and the United States.

But as Bundy family members celebrate what they call a decisive victory in their decades-long struggle against the federal government, the legal battle between the Clark County rancher and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management is far from over.

“He’s still making these arguments about how the federal courts don’t have jurisdiction because the United States doesn’t own the land in question,” Dan Greenberg, an attorney and president of the Advance Arkansas Institute, a nonprofit that advocates for public policy based on the principles of limited government, told TheBlaze.

“He’s losing on all these claims,” Greenberg said, noting that Bundy’s arguments have already been rejected twice by the courts. “Unfortunately for him, his arguments – that he simply doesn’t recognize federal authority – will not be recognized in the courts. … The legal theory here that Mr. Bundy’s using is radical in its implications.”

WIFLI Briefing for Sep 7, 2012 - What could possibly go wrong?

Really, what could possibly go wrong? Energy costs necessarily getting much higher? Food costs going through the roof? How about the cost of living getting out of reach for those of us that are underemployed, or have to work three part time jobs, and the nanny state wanting to take over the responsibility of educating our children, while indoctrinating them that families don't matter, and the government is there to take care of all your needs?

For those that vote for another four years for the President to accomplish all that he promised but couldn't do in just four years (thank God for the Tea Party), you will get what you deserve if Obama somehow wins.

In Obama's own words, "You now have a choice."

It is up to you to decide what to do with the information that I share with you here.  But I can assure you that there will be problems, as Chuck and Gena Norris explained to us, and you may just find out what could possibly go wrong with another four years for Obama.

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

Does a fundamental change mean bypassing our Constitutional rights to have a Democratic Republic where we are represented?  It's a choice between two futures.

President Obama Issues Major ‘Green Energy’ Executive Order
From TheBlaze ~ By Becket Adams ~ on September 3, 2012 at 1:05pm

EXCERPT:

What could possibly go wrong?  [emphasis my own]

The order also “establishes a new national goal of 40 gigawatts of new combined heat and power capacity by 2020, a 50% increase from today,” according to a statement from the White House.

“Meeting this goal would save energy users $10 billion per year, result in $40 to $80 billion in new capital investment in manufacturing and other facilities that would create American jobs, and would reduce emissions equivalent to 25 million cars,” the statement adds.

Sure, it sounds nice and (like most things in this administration) it promises a great return on investment, but are there any possible downsides to this executive order?

“This is a fiat from on high for these utilities to change the way they process energy — an enormous capital expense and many of them are going to close down,” Levin argued. “And they only have eight years to do it as part of this ‘cap-and-trade,‘ ’green’ energy, ‘climate change’ bull crap.”

Repeal ObamaCar
From The Daily Caller OPINION ~ By Phil Kerpen ~ Published Aug 29, 2012, 12:55 PM

EXCERPT:

Obama’s astonishing takeover of the automobile industry, unlike his health care takeover, occurred without even a vote of Congress. Yesterday, to much fanfare, the administration announced its astonishing ratcheting up of vehicle fuel economy standards to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. These regulations — I call them “ObamaCar” — were accomplished not through open debate in Congress, but through corrupt backroom deals in which our elected officials had no voice.

ObamaCar will, according to the administration’s own estimates, add over $2,900 to the price of a new car. This low-ball estimate was created by using a brand-new cost-estimating methodology that uses arbitrary factors to produce a cost estimate for a vehicle considerably lower than the total cost of its individual parts.

An analysis by the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), which followed the government’s usual methodology, found the cost impact would be $4,800 per vehicle. But NADA also found that even the usual methodology has historically underestimated the actual cost impact by an enormous factor. NADA suggests a worst-case scenario of a $12,349-per-vehicle price jump.
