Many of the advisors in the Trump administration were rats.
They’re still rats, intent on sabotaging a second administration or advancing an agenda that’s not compatible with conservative principles, so it’s understandable that his supporters would want to screen them out now along with their nefarious ideas.
That’s the goal of Project 2025: To have the right people in the right place with the right ideas, starting on Day 1.
Chapter 16 in the policy agenda covers the Department of the Interior.
It was written by William Perry Pendley, a controversial figure from the first administration and a defender of government dependency and redistribution of wealth, ideas championed by the Left.
On page 9 of the pdf he describes wild horses and burros as western icons.
On page 10 they’re tough issues.
A few paragraphs later they’re an existential threat.
On page 12: “For decades, Congress watched as these herds overwhelmed the land’s ability to sustain them, crowded out indigenous plant and other animal species, threatened the survival of species listed under the Endangered Species Act, invaded private and permitted public land, disturbed private property rights, and turned the sod into concrete.”
“There are 95,000 wild horses and burros roaming nearly 32 million acres in the West—triple what scientists and land management experts say the range can support. These animals face starvation and death from lack of forage and water.”
“This is not a new issue—it is not just a western issue—it is an American issue.”
Nonsense. It’s an issue for a special interest, a select group that profits from cheap feed on government lands.
Wild horses and burros interfere with the process.
“Congress must enact laws permitting the BLM to dispose humanely of these animals.”
Are these the views of the project organizers?
Why do they allow this thinly veiled attempt to push leftist ideals?
Pendley was one of the rats and should not be allowed anywhere near a second Trump administration.
As for the public-lands ranchers, they’ve spent years trying to portray themselves as symbols of freedom, ruggedness and self-reliance.
That image needs to be demolished along with their influence at DOI.
