Forget about Napa and Sonoma.  The best time to visit those wineries was in the 70s.

Same for the Bay Area.

Instead, drop by a nearby Walmart and try to buy socks and underwear without calling an attendant.  You can’t, they’re behind glass doors.

Go to a Home Depot and see how many items are in locked cages.

Try to buy a gas trimmer or chainsaw.  You can’t, they’re banned.  Still available in Reno, a few hours to the east.

Check out the prices at Safeway.

While at Walmart and Home Depot, you might not notice the fastest shrinking demographic in the state—white folks.

This is what happens when you put liberals in charge.

Homes in established neighborhoods are well above $1 million.  For real sticker shock, try North Bay or South Bay.

And the traffic.  You are free to move about the area from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

On the bright side, Davis is only a few miles to the west—if you can get past the Yolo Causeway.

It’s home to the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, a leader in nonmotorized removal and fierce opponent of principal use.

Unfortunately, their 2022 Form 990, the most recent posted by the IRS, only gives a PO Box, not a street address.

Maybe they’ll have an open house or similar function.  It’s a great opportunity to build rapport with the bureaucrats and ranchers while maintaining the illusion of support for America’s wild horses.

The advocates use your donations to buy pesticides.

They want to replace motorized removal with mass sterilization, abnormal sex ratios and faulty immune systems.

They oppose principal use, management at the minimum feasible level and nature’s way.

They care most about their standing with the bureaucrats and ranchers.

Why are you still giving them money?

Withholding your financial support is easy, sensible and costs nothing.

The meeting runs from December 12 to 13 and is open to the public.

An agenda was not provided.

The group supports three tenets of rangeland management.

The legislature expects it to make recommendations on humane, non-lethal alternatives for horses taken off range but most of the resources are devoted to helping the advocates buy pesticides and apply them on the range.

Nominated by whom?  Ranchers?

Higher level positions require Senate confirmation but WHB Director may be a simple appointment?

Did you know the Rock Springs HMAs would be well above AML even if all the horses were removed?

The advocates are silent about these things.

They want the ranchers to win.

Keep that in mind on December 3.

RELATED: Socialist Media Update for October 2024.

There’s a special class of stupidity in the electorate and it’s occupied by the wild horse advocates.

Consider this Google search result for the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group:

If you’re a normal person, family is synonymous with husband, wife and their children.

Not so for liberals.  Family corresponds to just about any arrangement, such as two filthy sodomites and their dogs or couples who are aborting/contracepting/sterilizing themselves out of existence.

The advocates project this twisted view onto wild horses.

Humane management is a euphemism for snuffing out new life with ovary-killing pesticides.

Thus, there are no families, only animals that have banded together in a last-ditch effort to survive.

Horses die, and with few if any new foals hitting the ground, the herd will vanish.

Only a lunatic would equate mass sterilization with protection and preservation.

Keep this in mind on December 3.

RELATED: Hypocrisy of Advocates on Full Display at Salt River.

Parents, if you have a horse-crazy kid, keep a close eye on her to make sure she’s not being groomed by the advocates to become one of their supporters—or worse, one of their ambassadors or field workers.

This includes strict control of her mobile phone or other device, blocking access to socialist media, where she’ll be indoctrinated into their twisted way of thinking.

If you have a friend or family member who has been assimilated into their cult, or nearly so, the only way out may be an extended stay at a Betty Ford clinic or similar institution, where she can be deprogrammed, cured of her obsession with pesticides and educated in intellectual honesty.  Immediate intervention required.

The fence on the west side, seen in this video, appears to be in good condition.

The Virginia Range is in the background.

Repairs and new construction may occur on the other side of the lake, separating the valley from the hills and putting an end to scenes like this.

The loudest protests will come from those who are sterilizing the mares with pesticide-laced darts, the results of which are evident in the film.

They want you to think they’re the good guys.  Keep that in mind on December 3.

Two members are returning from previous terms and one person is new according to a BLM news release.

All three are anti-horse.

The announcement said the Board consists of nine individuals representing a diverse range of stakeholders and interests, and that have been true in the past, but today it’s dominated by ranching interests and chaired by a pesticide pusher.

You have to trust BLM data to support it, according to a November 25 report by Wyoming Public Media.

Livestock were factored in, just not directly.

When horse numbers get too high, they impact sage grouse.

If that’s true, the flocks should have been wiped out 100 years ago when there were two million wild horses roaming freely on western rangelands, a bit more than the 27,000 currently allowed by plan.

The analyst used GPS to monitor 1,000 sage grouse in central and southern Wyoming.

How exactly did he do that and what was the effect on the birds?  Horses tracked by GPS wear collars or tail tags.

When is a herd at 3X AML a threat to rangeland health?  When it’s accompanied by livestock equivalent to 4X AML, typical in areas identified for wild horses.  Forage supply can’t keep up with demand.

If you remove the livestock, 3X AML is not a problem.

Who commissioned the study?

Who paid for it?

The ranchers and their allies are always looking for ways to bludgeon wild horses and prop up their failed industry.

Because the herd defies the carrying capacity narrative.

You can’t be telling the American people that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (27,000 animals on 27 million acres) when the Virginia Range is carrying ten.

Advocates with the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses are trying to erase the outlier with the approval of the Nevada Department of Agriculture—the same agency pushing for the fences.

If areas identified for wild horses were managed principally for them, as specified in the original statute, there’d be no reason to cram 70,000 wild animals into government feedlots at taxpayer expense.

BLM allotments in ten western states support livestock equivalent to seven wild horses per thousand acres, another indication that the bureaucrats, ranchers and advocates aren’t telling you the truth.

Messrs. Burgum, Musk and Ramaswamy, are you listening?

This corresponds to neither of the options in the response to comments of the DNA.

As of today, the EPA has not published an update to the pesticide label, so the 90-day interval holds.

From page 49 in the Draft EA (page 50 in the pdf): “GonaCon-Equine is approved for use by authorized federal, state, tribal, public, and private personnel, for application to wild and feral equids in the United States (EPA, 2013; 2015).”

An updated registration was issued in 2017.

On page 178 in the pdf: “The EPA-required product label associated with the registration for GonaCon-Equine is cited in the EA as EPA (2013).  That label states that ‘If longer contraceptive effect is desired, a second vaccination may be given 30 or more days after the first injection or during the following year with no known adverse health effects to the vaccinated animal.’”

The 2017 amendment extended the interval to 90 days.

Page 179 mentions the certification requirement for PZP: “In keeping with the EPA registration for ZonaStat-H (EPA, 2012; reg. no. 86833-1), certification through the Science and Conservation Center in Billings Montana is required to apply that vaccine to equids.”

The 2017 update dropped the certification requirement for GonaCon-Equine.

But it should be there if they’re following the 2013 or 2015 registrations.  A search of the document for “certification” yielded only one result, the remark about PZP above.

Today is last day to comment on the project.

The new subcommittee will support the Oversight and Accountability Committee’s mission to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

Public-lands ranching is one example.

For every AUM assigned to livestock in areas identified for wild horses, the BLM collects $1.35 in grazing fees while it spends $150 to care for the horse displaced thereby.
