quote:

President Trump on Wednesday ordered the Interior Department to review national monument designations dating back 20 years for millions of acres of land, arguing former presidents have “abused” the system and vowing to return such authority to citizens and state lawmakers. 



quote:

Today, we are giving power back to the states and people where it belongs,” Trump said in signing the executive order at the Interior Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. “This massive federal land grab; it’s gotten worse and worse.”



quote:

The order has already sparked a sharp response from the Sierra Club and other environmentalist groups that are concerned about any possible changes ending the protections and allowing use of the land for oil or gas drilling.

“America’s parks and public lands are not in need of corporate restructuring,” the Sierra Club said. “We should not be asking which parts of our history and heritage we can eliminate, but instead how we can make our outdoors reflect the full American story.”





Someone read that bold part and see if you spot the hypocrisy in that statement by liberal morons.

Sucks this is getting overshadowed by Trump's other items today, this is a very big deal, the amount of land that has been stripped from the west by the fed should be criminal.

Misleading thread title. This was never state land. It has always belonged to the Federal government.

And this will only go over well on the poliboard and with a few special interests in western states. Expect a lot of ads in 2018 about how Trump sold off the national parks.

Like almost all of his other orders, this one does hardly anything. It asks the Dept of Interior to review all national monument designations since 1996. It's a review. Doesn't change 1 thing.

Those monuments are part of the history and heritage of a nation that doesn't exist anymore. Not our history and heritage. If it was a monument to Grant or Chamberlain or Mclellan then you'd have a point.

Yep, that will be the CNN headline news. Trump stealing land from po indians.

When Obama stole the Bundy's land, the land that gave Russia uranium, it was the essence of his pecker on their lips-GREAT.

As I read it this land will still actually belong to the federal government, but if the designation is removed, so to will be restrictions to access.

No. Land taken over the federal govt has grown exponentially over the last 50 years.

You are factually incorrect, as was the OP. This has always been federal land.
