Next stop Yosemite then Yellowstone. There was no America before Trump, and if you ask him about Mountain Meadows he will say "it is a lovely place".

It is continuously being said on public news broadcasting stations now, that all Native Americans or "mostly all" oppose the release of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and the Bear Ears National Monument lands. This is not true for the majority of Amerindian peoples in Utah and no one has ever done a percentage pole on this subject among Utah Amerindian Nations.
To say "all" Utah Amerindian Nations all oppose this land situation would be like saying all Amerindian Nations were all on the side of the British during the American Revolutionary War. The Delaware (My Ancestors) were with the 13 Colonies and Six Nations were partly with the British during the American Revolutionary War and partly with the 13 Colonies and this similar division is with us today among Amerindian peoples, only on a different scale and situation.
Since when do people want to be cut-off from spiritual and ancestral areas, food sources, firewood for heating homes with no public utilities, etc.? When I hear a generality like, "They all oppose reversing" the land grabs and the banishment from using the land, this I can believe only as the harm-intended political lie it is.
In a meetings I had with the Mayan peoples in Guatemala, (many years past) I expressed my feelings with them that the EPA were not at all concerned with the well being, health or prosperity of Amerindian peoples, but only value them as a political tool to influence their agenda for their own acquisition and control of valuable resources. After all these years they now mostly concur with this sad reality and see I told them the truth.
Sincerely, Robert

The park service cannot financially handle the extra burden that Obama put on them by expanding these lands, they will still be in federal control via BLM, Forest Service etc. so they will actually be more watched over plus You and I will have better access to these lands as well.

Jesus if you can raise a nation up and take it down in a day, then Jesus can you not heal our nation and our people.Yes you can, we praise the name of Jesus. Jesus, quickly reveal yourself to us, that is best for each one of us, touch us the only place that you know and can touch, Jesus can you not minister individually to each person, the only way that they can be ministered to, . Jesus are you not greater than any and all calamity and evil, Jesus where a man sees no way out, your spirit testifies that you Jesus, you are the only way out. Jesus you are the author and finisher of all things, great and small. Jesus help us receive your perfect and perfecting love and forgiveness of the cross. Jesus you told me that if we could fully receive and understand the love and forgiveness of the cross, we would be transformed as a new spirit, a useful witness for Christ Jesus. Jesus we pray that you answer this prayer, that we receive THE FULL PORTION, of your perfect love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.Jesus we praise your perfect love and forgiveness. Jesus we pray for personal and professional revival Lord Jesus not only does it have to happen in our heart, it has to happen in our family and in our workplace, , , Lord bring us to where your people are, there's no greater ministry then in our own families in our own workplace, Jesus show us the way to your fullness. Jesus you said, to pray for the greatest gift to prophesy to strengthen, encourage and comfort our people, to help raise them up. Jesus we repent of godless chatter, a lack of faith. Jesus we need the faith the size of a mustard seed to plant our faith at the altar, Jesus you will grow our faith.

Jesus we pray for this great awakening, correction, direction pointing to Christ Jesus, as Lord and Savior. The name of Jesus is above all names, the name of Jesus identifies the God we serve, the God that can save, forgive us of our sins, and love us into eternity now and forever. Jesus cannot the zeal of the Lord accomplish this great revival, harvest this great harvest and free our people, from captivity of the world and the evil one. Jesus not all is lost, but always gained, we hear that this is the greatest time and harvest, that the world will ever see. Jesus, Jesus, quickly come. Jesus we are standing in victory and not in defeat, because the victory was won on the cross let us praise your great name the name above all names, Christ Jesus our Savior and Lord, amen and amen.
