Thank you for visiting. My thoughts & Feelings are my Own.

Here I will share my feelings about America and her Future.

Let it be known to all the World, I love all Humankind, however the poor actions of the few that take away the Freedom's of the many wear on my soul. I don't hate them I feel sad for their foolishness before God and humankind.

Those leaders who seek to 'Keep their Oaths of office' and those who seek only self glory, power, tyranny and the destruction of America as it was founded, hoping to turn it into a Dictatorship, Marxist or other state of Tyranny.

For a long while I was unsure of putting a blog together with my thoughts on this, however Truth must be shared, if not to Awake American's to their dangerous situation then to record the folly of the ways of the wicked who do exist in the leadership of our Nation, States, Counties, Towns. Sad that I must add this page.

"We often search for things in life, yet seldom do we find.

Those things in life that really matter, until we make the time." S.T.Huls

God Bless the Republic of America!

Feds Seizing 116 Miles Of Ranchers’ Land … And Moving Texas-Oklahoma Border

 

Feds Seizing 116 Miles Of Ranchers’ Land … And Moving Texas-Oklahoma Border

oklahoma texas border ranchersThe Bureau of Land Management may have pulled scores of armed agents away from the Bundy Ranch, but another range war appears to be brewing along the Texas and Oklahoma border.
Texas rancher Tommy Henderson has been dealing with BLM agents for the past 30 years, and he and other ranchers appear to be losing their property rights battle. Although many in elementary school were taught that the border between Texas and Oklahoma is the Red River, the issue is far more complicated than that, according to the BLM and a court ruling handed down when Henderson lost 140 acres of land in a failed lawsuit against the federal agency three decades ago.
BLM is now using the lawsuit ruling as a precedent to seize even more land along a 116-mile stretch of the river, which the agency claims never belonged to Texas in the first place. Ranchers beg to differ.
“They’re wanting to take the boundaries that the courts placed here and extend those east and west to the forks of the river north of Vernon and east to the 98th Meridian which is about 20 miles east of us,” he told Texas Farm Bureau News.
As regulations on our lives increase, it is apparent that we are losing our historic freedoms.
If the BLM is successful in its bid to seize the 90,000 acres, it would substantially alter the boundaries between the two states. The fight boils down to the difference between avulsion and accretion, and the way the river moves. Since the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 there has been some controversy about the exact boundary between Texas and Oklahoma along the Red River. The river has moved over time and the boundary is supposed to be noted as the vegetation line along the south side of the waterway.
Both states use different semantics to define the boundary, according to the Americas Freedom Fighters website. Oklahoma state statute defines avulsion in a different manner than both the United States government and Texas.
“How can BLM come in and say, ‘Hey, this isn’t yours’?” Henderson asked. “… Our family paid taxes for over 100 years on this place. We’ve got a deed to it. But yet they walked in and said it wasn’t ours?”

He added, “Originally, here the river was out there where it is now and it eroded and accreted up to here, and then it eroded and accreted back. Well, [BLM’s] interpretation is that it eroded up to here but avulsed back. So when you listen to them it is always erosion to the south because the property line follows it then, but it’s always avulsion when it goes north. So the boundary can move south but it can never move back north.”
Other ranchers in the region are watching the fight very closely, knowing their property could be impacted. One such rancher is Scott Carpenter of Nacona, Texas.
“We have numerous places that have been in our family for over a hundred of years, and you hate to see land that people’s worked hard for would lose. As producers we are always on a defense. We have to make decisions to try to help ourselves to help one another.”
