These men have been the heart and soul of this country from the beginning.
They were the farmers and explorers who first tamed Virginia in 1607.
The patriotic militiamen who sought victory or death in 1776.
The pioneers who won the west. The builders of our great monuments. The men who keep this country turning around today.
Thank you, American. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s abundantly clear that the Democrats actively wanted DC, and this nation as a whole, to be a dump.
They went out of their way to destroy this nation’s beauty and culture.
It was not an accident.
They attempted to conquer and destroy us from within.
Never again.
Mind you, the fly began moving north from the biological barrier in Panama in 2022 and 2023 due to the 1+ million migrants traveling north and illicit cattle smuggling by the cartels. But that isn’t convenient to mention!
Growing up Cuban-American in Miami, my parents treated Cuban/KGB spies like how other parents treat the boogeyman. I used to roll my eyes at what I thought was just trauma and paranoia.
Then Charlie died and the mask came off podcasistan. Never too old to learn mom was right.
Ten years ago I remember watching VICE's documentary on ISIS with this sort of chanting
Now we see it at a victory party for a US representative

Articles like this are meant to you blackpill because we are “chopping down trees in Yellowstone.” But don’t worry this is completely fake.
First, it’s meant to panic you about timber extraction when the National Forests were created in the 1890s for timber and watersheds. The Multiple Use mandate (a law passed in the 1960s) requires we manage American national forests for co-equal purposes: outdoor recreation, timber, grazing, watersheds, fish and wildlife. This means one “use” under the multiple use framework cannot, by law, preclude the others.
Timber harvest under multiple use should be a source of American pride in conservation. Multiple use is a uniquely American innovation that gives many different types of people and businesses real skin-in-the-game in public land conservation. The 2026 Forest Service is pretty great at balancing conservation science, outdoor recreation, and extraction based livelihoods.
Funny enough, despite what the article is trying to mislead you into thinking, the planned clearcut isn’t really even for timber, it’s mainly to remove dead down trees caused by insects/disease to prevent wildfire. The Biden era emergency declaration they’re using to speed this fire mitigation up is to prevent endless lawsuits from crazy NGOs that make management next to impossible.
The proposed Bear Palmer project is less than 1 percent of the 3 million acre Custer Gallatin National Forest. It’s a tiny, localized vegetation removal project. The type of clearcut proposed here *sounds* bad to people who know nothing of Mountain West forests, but it’s well within the Custer Gallatin’s own Biden-era 2022 management plan. Forest management plans are documents that take years of science, manager, and public input to establish a sustainable management strategy including vegetation and timber plans.
The management plan itself says a clearcut like this is the ideal path to regeneration for species like lodegpole pine because these trees are shade intolerant, meaning they need sunlight. So regeneration is best after what’s called a “stand replacing disturbance” or a clearcut.
Bear Palmer is a prioritized stand because there is a lot of deadfall due to insect issues or big wildfire risks. Beyond all that, no clearcut happens without an additional NEPA and special assessments of wildlife, old growth, listed species like griz, and so on, beyond the requirements of their own plan. You can read hundreds of pages of these assessments on their website today. Clearcutting is literally *the* preferred regeneration method for lodegpole to reduce wildfire risk and disease within the forest’s own plan and meet ecological objectives for regrowth!
It’s just crazy to me that supposedly environment focused publications can miss the mark so egregiously. Whose interests are served by making the American people think the Forest Service is bad at managing trees/wildlife?! It’s actually, in terms of its science and management plans, really good at that.
I was so astounded by how terrible this article was that I had to look into the author, who is an “award winning Bangladeshi journalist” who recently moved here to do a degree in journalism at the University of Montana. Maybe before writing an article so strangely out of touch with the way we manage national forests like the Custer Gallatin this guy should probably learn a little more about the American system?
Who funds the demoralization propaganda website Inside Climate News? Of course it’s the same opaque network of foundations (Ford, MacArthur, Rockefeller) pushing climate extremist degrowth nonsense everywhere else. Only in America do massive foundations push panic agitprop to undermine our own public land agencies/demoralize Americans about our national forest system written by people who got here 5 minutes ago.
