Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism. Although their purported Facebook page does not directly appear to enc...

State school trust lands were meant to fund education, not environmental agendas

By Greg Walcher | GregWalcher.com A land ownership checkerboard exists in nearly every state because of an oddity called “state school trust lands.” The federal government granted those lands at the time of statehood, under the Land Ordinance of 1785. Thomas Jefferson’s system divides and records land into townships, each with 36 one-square-mile sections. New states entering the union were each given 2 sections per township, to be held in trust to fund public schools. State Land Boards were created to manage those lands – in my state of Colorado it’s 4 million acres. The Board was charged with administering the lands “in such a manner as will secure the maximum possible amount” for the school fund. The Lincoln Institute of Public Lands explains, “That singularity of purpose continues...

America overtakes China in Uruguay beef market shift

By Hagstrom Report | The Fence Post The United States is set to overtake China as Uruguay’s top market, fueled by firm demand and strong FOB (free on board) prices, while China’s dominance continues to erode after more than a decade at the top, the Agriculture Department’s Foreign Agricultural Service reported today. “The industry is also keeping a close watch on potential ripple effects from the U.S.-Brazil trade dispute,” FAS added. “In 1995, the United States allocated Uruguay a tariff rate quota of 20,000 tons product weight a year at a low tariff of $44 per ton. All exports outside the quota pay 26.4% tariff. The U.S. government recently increased Uruguay’s import duties 10 percentage points on all products, including beef. At the same time, the United States increased Brazil’s ...

Tourists may soon pay double or triple in lodging taxes in 7 Colorado counties

By Jason Blevins | The Colorado Sun Chaffee, Custer, Eagle, Gilpin, Routt, Ouray and Park counties hope voters will approve increased lodging taxes — allowed under new legislation — to pay for budget shortfalls As revenue flowing into local governments ebbs, more communities are looking to visitors to pay bills.  At least seven counties will ask voters this November to double or triple the local lodging tax outside cities and towns to pay for roads, police, housing and early child care. These are the first counties to deploy a law passed this year — Senate Bill 1247 — that allows voters to raise county lodging taxes to 6%, up from 2%, to pay for infrastructure, conservation, emergency services and sustainable tourism policies.  Commissioners in Chaffee,...
