@WalshFreedom They would like there to be no beautiful permanent markers of this place in time when the swamp was eradicated and the people reclaimed their sovereignty.

The Dust Bowl was made by expert advice, and the advice was to plough up grazing land and grow crops on it. School files it under weather. A drought came, the wind got up, Steinbeck wrote a book. Nature did it, and nobody's name is on it. Plenty of names are on it. The southern Plains had been grassland since the ice went. Buffalo grass and blue grama, a mat of root that had sat through every drought for thousands of years with 30 million bison standing on it. Rainfall out there runs 10 to 20 inches a year. The first surveyors took one look and wrote Great American Desert across the map, meaning graze it, and leave the plough at home. John Wesley Powell, the explorer who had actually walked the ground and went on to run the US Geological Survey, told Congress as much in 1878 and again, with maps, in 1890. Congress thanked him and carried on. Then a professor at the University of Nebraska, Samuel Aughey, announced that breaking the sod released moisture and changed the climate. A land promoter called Charles Dana Wilber boiled it down in 1881 to four words: rain follows the plow. The railroads, who had several million acres of desert to sell, reprinted it by the cartload. It was what everyone wanted to hear, it came with charts, and it was science. Washington joined in. The Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909 handed 320-acre blocks of dry grassland to anyone who would break them. In 1917 the government guaranteed wheat at over $2 a bushel and told farmers wheat would win the war. Then the tractor arrived, and a man who could turn 3 acres a day behind horses could turn 50. Between 1925 and 1930 more than 5 million acres of native grass on the southern Plains went under, in what the locals called the Great Plow-Up. The cattle came off and the wheat went in. When the wheat price collapsed at the end of the decade, farmers ploughed up more grass to make the same money from a lower price, which is the sort of decision a spreadsheet makes. The rain, having not read Professor Aughey, stopped in 1931. Wheat has the root system of a doormat. With the grass gone there was nothing holding Kansas down, and Kansas left. In May 1934 it fell on ships 300 miles out in the Atlantic. On 14 April 1935, Black Sunday, a wall of topsoil thousands of feet high rolled across the Plains and turned the afternoon into midnight. Children died of dust pneumonia behind wet sheets nailed over the windows. 100 million acres were damaged and around 2.5 million people packed up and left. That spring a soil scientist called Hugh Bennett was giving evidence to a Senate committee when the sky over Washington went brown with what had recently been Oklahoma. He got his Soil Conservation Service within weeks. Then the federal government did something your textbook skips. It bought back more than 11 million acres of the wrecked cropland, put it down to grass again, and put cattle on it. It is still there. They're called the National Grasslands, nearly 4 million acres of them, grazed under permit to this day, and they have not blown anywhere since. So America has run the experiment at full scale. Take land that only grass will hold, remove the grazing animal, and grow human food crops on it because the experts and the price say so. It took 5 years to plough and 10 to bury a region. Every few months now a report lands explaining that pasture is wasted land, and that if we only took the cattle off we could grow crops there instead. It has charts. It is science. Ask them what follows the plough this time.

President Trump is the greatest president in human history. People want you to doubt him. People want you to not trust him. People will call for his removal. They fear him because he is the death blow to the deep state.

Like body-cams exposed criminals, social media is exposing how many Americans have been displaced by foreigners. It’s everywhere and far worse than any of us could imagine.

🚨UPDATE (bad): Appropriations Committee PASSES budget... that not one member had time to read. Watch me speak against this liberal, lawless, and fiscally irresponsible train wreck... Then watch as every other Republican joins Democrats to pass it. I’m sorry, Texas.

George Soros has contributed $7.45 million to Texas Majority PAC across aggregated TEC Reports. And the TEC filing we posted earlier shows Texas Majority PAC reported spending $141,250 with Rally By Relentless PBC for “In-Kind Contribution of Software Services to Taylor Rehmet.” (@TaylorRehmetTX) When a PAC backed by millions in Soros & other out-of-state Democrat money is now at the center of allegations involving payments tied to illegal voter organizing, the funding trail deserves scrutiny. Follow the money. Show the receipt. @TCGOP @TexasGOP #TxLege https://t.co/aKCGIa0SwO
