More than half of the Bureau of Land Management’s Washington, D.C. staff quit their jobs after being told they would be transferred to Colorado and other western states to be closer to the lands they manage.
“New internal numbers from the Interior Department obtained by The Hill show 69 employees have left the agency rather than accept the new assignment. Another 18 left after the plans were announced but before they could be reassigned,” The Hill reports. “Those 87 employees outnumber the 80 who have agreed to the move.”
“The BLM move would uproot nearly all of the agency’s dwindling Washington staff out West, leaving just 61 of 10,000 employees in the nation’s capital,” The Hill reports.
The move is part of a Trump administration initiative to place regulatory agencies closer to the people they are supposed to serve. Most of America’s federal lands are in the western mountains and deserts.
Liberals have howled over the move, publicly admitting regulatory positions will be less likely to be filled by professional D.C. bureaucrats and more likely to be filled by people with direct ties to those affected by regulations.
Former top-level BLM employee Steve Ellis bemoaned the agency’s move, complaining it “removes BLM from the sphere of direct influence in the nation’s capital and critically weakens the agency’s ability for career leadership and their staff to collaborate across disciplines and work closely with other key agencies.”
“It will weaken the agency by marginalizing leadership in a relatively small western community,” he added, overlooking the fact those are exactly who know best about federal lands.
“The Trump administration is destroying the Bureau of Land Management by mistreating its staff and politicizing its mission and then lying to Congress and the public about the damage it’s causing. This is what happens when you put fossil fuel industry lobbyists and anti-public lands extremists in charge of government agencies,” complained House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva, an avowed ecosocialist and advocate for total D.C. control of western lands.

This is the best news I have heard in 70 years. The BLM is a vast cesspool of crooked regulators who care not for western people, and who have not followed the law , but promoted political objectives. Great, beautiful!
Great idea! Clean out the swamp. We probably didn’t need all those employees anyway.
Marti, you read my mind!
Great news!
I hope the next logical step of returning unconstitutional federal lands to the States to manage begins soon.
Carol: You must be hallucinating! The Feds giving land they stole back?
It their no one in DC to manage it, since they all let but 10, this is great news. As long as all the states don’t get greedy.
Not a good idea here in Comiefornia. Asses in charge will sell it off to pay for all the free friggin’ handouts.
You mean for someone like Cuomo to manage in NY??
Yeah, sure.
Ditto!
agreed. Novel idea..work where the the product is..
It is past time to dissolve the BLM. They have only one thing in mind, and that is to cater to the NWO elites. People have been deceived for long enough. A little research goes a long way!!!!!
Agreed. https://wtop.com/business-finance/2018/02/exactly-many-washingtonians-work-federal-government/
It’s called, “Winning,” ladies and gentlemen…these people whine more that my kids did when they were 4 years old.
Hopefully they have NO IDEA how to survive in their wildernesses. I do not wish them ill, just hope they quit the governmental work arena, to care for themselves, more than they have taken care of the people they had to swear an oath to serve.
Those would be the people that quit. The ones that agreed to be transferred are more than likely people that got a job there thinking it was an outside kind of employment.
It is about time!!!! He’s cleaning out the swamp!
Yep. Spot on!
Cut them back to no mor than two per state that has public lands. Good ridance to all of the rest.
Generally a good idea. I would add that I think every state has public land although in different amounts of acreage.
Perhaps this tactic should be used in all of the agencies. Another way to clean house of the Swamp Bats.
It is/has been employed elsewhere as I recall. This is perhaps the most high-profile instance. As a former Parks employee, I had the distinct hunch our BLM oversight appointees where just there to schmooze the former administration-to become tools of the Cloward-Piven strategy which was being carried out. You saw the most insidious use of BLM in the case of the Nevada Cattleman, which morphed into the killing of another rancher in the woods on a snowy Oregon highway. Somehow swamp just doesn’t cover the FBI cutting down an unarmed rancher. The Texas Governor told BLM to “Stay the hell out of Texas!” There was the case in my state of New Mexico, Otero County Sherrifs ripped down the new signs put up by these BLM thugs to block access for ranchers to their roads home.
There is no more corrupt than a BLM stooge. Besides pelosi, sanders, schumer, axine UGLY waters, etc. The Pecos river has had its fights between the “””natives””” who only speak Spanish and the Anglos buying the land.
Don’t you remember what the BLM did out west? Bundy and his family and putting people’s ranches on Fire. I am not surprised they left. I doubt they would be welcome in the west by people in Harry Reid’s State. Now we will get new people who will do their jobs rather than listen to Harry REID!!!!!! I think this is a great idea then they work the land with the Ranchers. New People new relationships.
I should think a new federal office complex on a closed Navy base on Adak in the Aleutians would be a great location to move deepstaters from EPA, State, DoJ, and others. I believe its time our seat of government was moved away from DC to someplace in the Heartland like St Louis or Kansas City. Turn DC in a museum. Get the freakin Ivy League elites out of thinking that running the country is their exclusive birthright.
I think a great place to move them to is one of our national parks on the border of Commiefornia and Nevada.
Damn good idea Karl!
Cut them back to no more than two per state that has public lands. Good riddance
to all of the rest.
Amen!
They’re All Islam Muslims, planted by Obama staff to Destroy the opportunities for American citizens to enjoy the Parks freely .The way that Theodore Roosevelt in tented and Ptotected They hate America! Outstanding job President Trump! !
Good Job Sir!
I agree, this is why TRUMP is getting rid of the PORK IN D.C.. TRUMP 2020
Absolutely, drain the swamp. Time to do away with direct DC influence.
Perfect. You can’t farm from a desk. Get out there where the land is and do a hands on.
Better yet! Get people “Out There” to fill the jobs! They live there, and know and can go see what needs to be done. Just close more departments! Like the “Education”, what a joke! and several others. Sell off the hundreds of empty buildings we pay to guard and maintain. Please! Let me go help! I’ve been successful for 76 years! Old but good experience, and a Navy “Tin Can” veteran!
Thank You Sir!
You are exactly right!
Go Mr. President!!
BLM doesn’t farm.
Sure they do Doc. Dig hole , drop seed cover , water, poof corn. Nothin to it… Jack G.
Exactly. Get rid of all them America hating Obama criminal thugs.
A good first step in the draining…especially the BLM. Nothing but PITA bullies.
Wonderful news! Get rid of all excess baggage, aka drain the swamp.
Hear, hear!
My family and I lived out in beautiful New Mexico for two years. In just that short time we became aware that the BLM was the most despised agency in the entire Federal bureaucracy. It corrupts everything it doesn’t steal or destroy, including as noble an institution as the Army Corps of Engineers, when it can.
The fact that half of them left when they learned they’d have to go and do some actual work in their actual field, says it all.
I agree 100%.
They are just more corrupt even than the congress and senate people.
Thank you President Trump.
BEAUTIFUL INDEED
Have to agree. Bussiness managers are involved with the business and employees hands on. Should be the same with land management!!
The swamp creatures are really getting agitated as the water lowers …. EXPECT MORE OF THESE KINDS OF REACTIONS & STAND STRONG WITH PRES. TRUMP!!
Good News!
yep
True dat. As a native Coloradan I’ve watched for years the way my beloved home state is tortured by DC know nothings.
1000% true especially Steve Ellis
BLM, BLM, BLM… Say, ain’t these the same guys that tried to steal all that western grazing land out there, but the people stood up against them. Let’s see… who was that old crook that was trying to pull that? I was thinking Hunter Biden’s dad, but it wasn’t him; Hunter does his stealing in Ukraine, doesn’t he?.
NOW, I remember, it wasn’t Joe Biden, it was Harry Reid; he was trying to grab that land to give to his son’s business. MAN! What’s wrong with these crooked politicians? Haven’t they ever heard of working for a living? That’s what the rest of us do.
Amen. What a great Leader, President Trump is. Reducing a lot of “waste” in Washington and placing the managers close to their designated areas.
Jerry Kooyers and all of you who agree! So GLAD that there are many of you who agree with President Trump. You have all given me an even better perspective of the problem and am so glad to hear this. I have thought since soon after he was elected, that God had His hand on Donald Trump during the campaign and still does to this day. He truly loves this country, loves God, loves his family, and loves us, the American people. Tell me, what one or two other persons in our country, D or R, could accomplish all he has, continue to work on numerous issues, and still deal with this coronavirus all at the same time. God bless this President. Thank, Lord, for sending him to us.
Amen?????????????????????????????????????????
God bless our dedicated workers for we the people❣️❣️❣️Thank you God for giving us president Donald J Trump and his family and all the good men and women in for Senate and Congress to help bring swap to justice❣️❣️???????????????????????????????????
this is wonderful
I do not know and don’t claim to, but, I would think that having the people managing wildlife and the country they live in close to where that happens is a good thing. How can you manage what you are clueless about?
Ask Hunter Biden! He got paid $50,000/month when he couldn’t speak their language, and knew nothing about the company!
Exactly.
I agree with Jerry, For years now The Bureaucrats in DC have stolen more and more lands from Farmers and Ranchers out west, And more and more uneccasay regulations This move should help.
A hangman’s rope would ‘help’ more.
Bingo
The self serving “what”s in it for me types” – have resigned – no loss – none whatsoever.
An excellent move Mr. President, kudos to you!
Lazy Obamites don’t do their job anyway
Sounds to me like a bunch of people who quit when they were told they would actually be expected to do their jobs.
Exactly! “You expect me to work?”
Our government could be vastly improved by moving the headquarters of the Federal government out of Washington, DC. to the middle of the Country. The DC area is one huge echo chamber of liberalism, and is the problem, not the solution, to many of our difficulties. The area was practically a swamp, and now is a different kind of swamp. President Trump is doing the Country a huge service by working to drain the swamp.
Great idea!
I’ve said it before, I will say it again. Move the Capital of the United States of America to Baggs, Wyoming.
–
After the DC Deep State sees what it is like to live on the freeze-dried desert that is just west of the Continental Divide, 90% of them will quit.
–
Baggs is so dry, you can pee into a box of nails and come back the next year and there won’t be a single nail that is rusted.
–
Why does the Deep State love working in the National Government? The Capital is in a beautiful place on a beautiful river, it has all four seasons, and green growing trees. Move the Capital to a godforsaken freeze-dried desert (Baggs is as dry as freeze-dried coffee) and watch what happens to all of the people who want a free ride at taxpayer expense.
–
I told this plan to another soldier I was stationed with who came from Wyoming. When the other soldiers asked him what I was talking about; his comment was, “The Devil himself would not live in Baggs, Wyoming.”
I’m betting we could put the swamp in Baggs and it would totally disapeer i less than 8 months. Would there be enough water to actually grow grass?
WHOOO HOOOO!!!!!!
Every bit helps to drain the SWAMP!!!!!
The BLM is unconstitutional and should be abolished.
Common sense move. Trump is a genius. MAGA.
Best news I’ve heard in a long time! BLM *should* be run by people who know and respect the land they’re managing not by a bunch of Washington insiders who don’t have a clue
Great! More of the cesspool is removed. Let’s hope they don’t get other government jobs they can butcher.
Good job, now weed out the rest of the swamp people.
Moving the BLM to areas where they actually have a direst effect is a brilliant idea, it also removes them from the influences of D.C. operatives.
As far as those who have quit, they probably didn’t have a true interest in the best for the country and we are better for losing them, now we can replace them with people who truly have a better comprehension of the needs of the lands they control.
My response to those who Quit………Good riddance!
Apparently re-assigning bureaucrats who can’t be easily fired because of Civil Service rules works.
Probably don’t need to be replaced.
We put Service members on the front lines and in the theater where their action is, with very few left to manage the read headquarters. This should benefit the BLM. They can still rotate the best back to the National Capital, but the majority should be where their customers, and managed land is so they can really understand the implications of their actions.
If the DemoRats are complaining, you know it’s another major decision by the President to clean house and improve the efficiency of government.
Excellent! Long past due.
This sounds like a good way to drain the swamp of do nothing Washington elitist who are making their decisions in a vacuum. These people care only about keeping their cushy jobs and not about the or the people under their management and control.
You are exactly right. BLM has had the same attitude as all the other agencies – the USA consists of D.C. and and all that fly-over country that nobody cares about. Of course, you have the exception of California.
Their field people have the reputation of being pushy thugs, no thanks to Dan Love and his bullies. They will try to steal the land from western farmers and ranchers so they can get all the oil and mineral rights as well as a nice cut for their bureau.
Hey I’m a Safety professional and love my job but can’t do it long distance. Have to be right there to see what is going on. I wouldn’t mind relocating out West or to Colorado if the money is right. I love the wildlife.
I’d have moved it to Haines Alaska, that would have 95% leaving tired of career politicians and their ilk running this country
I was going to suggest Kiska. From Wikipedia: “Kiska is an island in the Rat Islands group of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.” This puts Kiska almost to the end of the Aleutian Island chain. The Rat Islands would be perfect for the swamp rats from DC. Many of the really dispicable swamp rats have weaseled their way into Civil Service. That basically means that they cannot be fired without a huge effort. But, they can be sent to Kiska or maybe Haines.
this needed to be done at the start. a political butt-kisser has absolutely no idea of what their meddling in the local agriculture and forest management caused.. the stupid un-necessary rules and regulations that stifled any good safe ranching or farming of the local ground.. it also cuts the possibility of a back-door deal between the back-door boys trading good land for waste-land..
Great. Now is the time to reduce the number in the department at not hire any replacements.
That would be GREAT!!
As a former BLM employee from the 80’s, this is a long overdue move, and kudos to President Trump for seeing it’s done. The BLM has been top heavy for far too long.
Every swamp dweller that leaves is s bonus to the taxpayers.
Just another accomplishment that our president is doing to “drain the swamp” Keep in mind the SWAMP HAS NO BOUNDRIES IN D.C. anywhere else in the US. This is just another example of why we needed a “business man” in the White House instead of a “you grease my pocket and I’ll grease yours” politician…. JS
Another brilliant accomplishment by our wonderful, outstanding POTUS, Honorable Donald Trump.
Start with 500 a month and work up from there!
Gee whiz, do the lobbyists have to move also? The stacking of the BLM with self serving anti Americans taking America down from within was in full implementation during the Clinton Administration.
Whoohoo! That’s great!
Way to go mr PRESIDENT. Excellent move
Excellent beginning, too bad 80 decided to go.
to bad. Hitch em and move em out!!!
it sounds like a good ideal to me because how can you do your job right if you do not know what and who its affecting so its a good move those that quit did not care about the land they were controling so glad they quit and got off the payroll and as far as staying in touch people video call everyday
Good move, Mr. President and Good riddance to bad bureaucrats.
Thank GOD for President Trump , His Family and all who support Him .
Exactly.
BLM…remember when you punk dirtbags burned down ranchers and came to kill the Bundys…now you have to live next door
Makes sense to have management people know the territory they are managing.
Great, now let’s release some of this government land back to the citizens. Rarely will you see a government agency able to properly manage anything they are assigned to oversee.
This is a good move for the BLM there is no BLM in DC so they need to be in the west where they belong. The employees did not leave with nothing, they were all offered some type of a severance package. Cry me a river.
So what kind of lands in Washington DC do they manage? How many of them have seen a real live moose, elk, cow, or bear and how many of them could tell the difference?
Excellent Idea Mr. President.
These employees of the American citizens should be in the states of the land they are suppose to manage for the American citizens.
For too long the BLM being managed in Wash DC is stupid.
These political appointees Base in D.C had cause nothing but trouble & theft of our Western lands. Whether it be farming , ranching or mining they have crushed & robbed the citizens of the states they pretend to protect.
You are Spot on here, and Thank you, Thank You president Trump. Total jurisdiction over any and all State and Government lands should remain in the hands of the county and State in which it exists. The state does not own any of this land, nor does the Government, it belongs strictly to the people of that State, and the Sherriff of the County in which it lies, has supreme jurisdiction over that land and its use, yes, even over the feds.
My Hat is off to you Donald Trump, now continue doing this throughout the rest of our Gov and State agencies. We could pave our streets with Gold with the wasted money from these beau acratic Thieves.
Now if only Raul Grijalva would leave!!!
While the news is good- Reagan also did this- the banner suggests something nefarious. This banner is what I expect from the Corrupt News Networks.
Bemoaning the chances of promotion? They are supposed to be public servants. If they are more interested in DC than doing their job, they are exactly the ones we want gone. Good riddance! JMO
Why is it different for a government employee the rest of us have to move with our company to keep our jobs.
I would take one of those jobs out West. Let those city slickers stay is DC with the rest of the swamp dwellers.
Great move President Trump. Now would be a great time to force all legislators back to their districts and only meet in DC for 1 month a year. Sure would play hell with the lobbyists and that would be great news for all Americans.
Well, if nothing else is gained by all this someone has got to be looking at the real estate made available by moving tax paid paper shufflers.
Long over due, President Trump could also drain te swamp by doing away with the Forest Service
LEO’S agency, that was organized by Clinton as his federal police force. I don’t know their actual mission mission statement, except the duplicate the efforts of the County Sheriff’s department in the areas they are assigned, deliberatly violate traffic laws, and as obtrusive and probably corrupt as the FBI, And the department of justice, ( Where They Are Clinton’s Federal Police Force). Let’s save the tax payer some more money by doing away with this Federal Agency
Hey Bob remember when old ding ding Clinton wanted to cut back on cattle guards and retrain the remainder of them? Excellent move Mr. President. Also check out he equal footing doctrine of the western states in reference to the blm, it should all resort back to the states it was removed from because the feds supposedly knew how to manage our land better than we (the states did) equal footing doctrine, interesting read!!
If BLM had been doing their job instead of playing politics with the Western Lands, there would have been no need to relocate the agency out of DC.
More room for Trump the swamp master in Chief to load more sycophantic lackies!!!
Mr. President: do not replace them. Then, do whatever you can to get all other agencies to have half their people quit, and don’t replace them, either.
This is the first positive move I have heard that will drain a portion of the swamp but the biggest pool of scum in the swamp are located in the Dep of Education (DOEd). Trump must abolish this very liberal, anti America and unethical group of progressive ( american communist sympathizers). When the 1619 project can place its curriculum of lies and hate in American schools and the DOEd does nothing to stop it, the usefulness of the department is no more, as if this department ever had a purpose but to push false narratives and brainwash our children towards big government and socialism. If Americans were paying attention to the facts the DOEd has always wanted to own your children and eliminate the influence of family in their lives, especially minority families This has almost become a reality thanks to progressives and the DNC.

Of course, this only works as long as those quitters don’t end up with other
government jobs. Welcome them to the real world. Send them to the
non-Federal unemployment office(s) and force them to compete for jobs that
actually produce something.
And then, after a BLM reorganization, written justification submitted for each
of those 87 vacant jobs to be refilled before anyone is hired.
Actions will speak louder than words. Improvements and common sense have been needed and benefit adjacent landowners. This is a good step however follow through has yet to be demonstrated.
BEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN.NOW FIRE ALL THE REST. AND TURN THE LAND BACK TO THE STATES THAT THE LAND BELONGS TO. THE STATES CAN GET LOCAL PEOPLE TO MANAGE IT. NOT SOME IDIOT THAT KNOWS NOTHING. SAME THING FOR THE FOREST SERVICE. THEN MAYBE WE CAN ACTUALLY MANAGE STATE LANDS THE WAY WE SHOULD.
Atta boy Paul, right on the money!!
Great news! Too bad more haven’t quit! They feel so entitled to their jobs. I bet they won’t be missed. Hard to miss people who are superfluous. Keep draining the swamp, Mr. President.
Great move the BLM needs to be closer to the land they supposedly have to manage? Times are changing coffee break is over THOSES that left weren’t going to be missed maybe we’ll see another cleaning. There’s a lot more desks commandos then the field personnel
Oh so sorry that Washingstink will no longer house all the people assigned to the Western United States Forests. Making America Great Again! No agency should be allowed to have all employees in Washingstink, those people need to be where the land ‘IS”. Not where the stink of Politics are.
Long overdue…
This may help stop the corruption of some of the so-called leaders in our government when they want to use the BLM land for their own personal benefit. The ex-senator from Las Vegas is whom I am referring. He is the cause of our federal government costing millions of our tax dollars to be used to fight a rancher from using land that his family had been using and taking care of for years. This so called senator also caused the life of one of those ranchers.
You all know who I am talking about.
Bingo!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the corrupt left the agency. They are not suppose to just sit in a chair far from what is really happening. They are getting paid to do nothing? Glad they left. Their loyalty was to their high paying job compared to really helping America?
The amount of land in the US owned by the Federal Government is obscene. Too bad I there is no ability to post the picture showing it here.
I’m all in for transfers! What great results!
Excellent way to rid the agencies of the FAT do nothing over paid bureaucrats and replace them with people who are directly affected and understand the situations of this important job.
This is fantastic move and should of been done long ago. Put the people where the true action is and to really make their paychecks. At least those quitting will give way to real workers not political motivated rip offs. Which most are highly paid beyond what they would get paid in the real world.
I hope more is this action takes place and soon.
Just an opinion, but I believe most bureaucracies need cleaning out similar to the need for term limits for life-long politicians. Another four years of Trump as President will be four more years of change for the better. Of course both parties are into power and control but Trump knows he will leave office (hopefully after 8 years) and wants to leave a legacy of change for the people of America and not the power elite.
One of the experiences that I had with one of the LEO’S, My wife and I were traveling in
Southern Arizona, in a 35 mile an hour speed limit zone traffic was bumper to bumper with double yellow lines no passing zone, apparently the LEO officer, was late for work anyhow he passed us and two other cars on a double line with on coming traffic on a blind curve. We followed him to the agency yard, he was driving his govt. vehicle he had to stop and input his ID. To enter the compound, while he was stopped I
exited the car and was walking up to his truck to accost him about the violation and possibly make a citizens arrest depending on his attitude, needless to say he didn’t stop to see what I wanted, he pulled through the security gate and sped off, we called the supervisor and left messages but none was ever returned.
Maybe instead of making Politus rich with his 411 Missing thousands of people from mostly National Parks. Wrote i don’t know a few books, why? I can solve it without writing books nor making a dime. Well we shall see what this, ahhemm expert and his minions writenext.Well maybr he will come clean on this giant cover-up. Is he involved? Doubt it but he knows,if bot hes really stupid. Think Elites, think advanced technology, think drugs…
Well if I wasn’t going to vote for Trump before, I am now.
About time gov’t officials get up of their asses. I’m sure 1 out of every 4 employees actually are productive, just skinny the fat. #2020 MAGA
! Well, This governmental move is not a bad thing. Even if the employees can telecommute for some of their work time, the actuality of physical proximity to your responsible work environment makes the most sense. Many years have had this crazy, I’m in D.C. but am responsible for Land in Idaho.
The Agi colledge are producer new student every year that will be very happy to have those job. Keep on Trump.
Harry
So they don’t want to move to the West? So what? This opens a position for someone there who wants to WORK instead of warming a seat behind a desk. Of course, some can’t move for family, health, or other reasons, but the rest who quit for the reasons stated in the article can now draw unemployment ins. and keep on doing what they were before: NOTHING!! They don’t need to be jawing with other agencies anyway.
I’m happy the B.L.(mis)M. Has Lost people. Now IF the good ole boys in these States with open positions DON’T fill them with people who suit the fossil and fuel industry to take over oUR Federal Land’s and ruin them it’d be a good thing. There’s too many cattle ranchers out to take over OUR federal lands and eliminate all the wild animals and wild mustangs out there. the Bureau of Land (Mis)Management has been nothing but an office of mismanagement. States Do NOT need to take over OUR Federal Land’s as there WOULD be BS politics and awarding OUR Land to their friends. The Federal Land BELONGS to the American people to Enjoy and explore.
Steve Ellis and the swamp creatures are right! This is 1920, NOT 2020. There are no magical devices that let you see and talk to people further away than your next door neighbor!
Besides, how do they expect these professional bureaucrats to plot coups against President Trump from Montana?
This would be one of the best movies, these people didn’t want to work just sit there and get paid. One way to clean the toilet
Looks to me there are a bunch of liberals in that group that always vote democrat. I think all the western states are experiencing an influx of liberals that affect our culture and way of life. Doe we really need more libs out here? Too bad the whole bunch just quit.
Companies close and/or move all the time. This will give people out there a chance to have a good paying gov’t job with one hell of an retirement in areas where Obama legislated laws killing jobs by destroying businesses. Good for the people in these ruined areas with towns and cities our govt under Obama went about destroying.
Life is tough, then you get transferred.
Well we do know that Starbucks is hiring.
Awww is the mean President going to make people actually work? Meanie! Of course when the Army sent me to Afghanistan and Iraq, I had to physically go, I couldn’t do my job from a desk in the USA! Who knows? Maybe the President knows what he is doing!!
Now wouldn’t that help climate change if all those people that travel back and forth to the lands they supposedly manage? Less flights, less emissions right?
It was the BLM that worked with the LYING corporate press to slander the ranchers in Bend OR. The goal was to steal the ranchers land so that it could be sold to Uranium 1, a Russian company, which gave the clinton foundation slush fund donations and paid billy clinton lots for money for his speaking engagements. The ranchers were forced off their land, some were jailed, and their land was burned and their cattle killed, unarmed Lavoy Finnecum was trying to help the ranchers and he was shot in an ambush. Everything reported by the corporate media was LIES. Many more DC bureaucrats should be transferred to field positions where they can actually work for the public. And the federal dept of indoctrination, which has nothing to to with education, should be completely eliminated.
These people are morons if they think we care about them losing there comfy position in DC and have to move out west to actually have to work
!! Drain the swamp!!!
What a beautiful move Trump! Can you do that to more DC pucks? Put them where the work is.
Move them all out of DC. It’s a cesspool of liberal idiots. They are a plague on our rights and our tax dollars. Most are completely useless.
The BLM needs to be turned over to the BIA and the BIA needs to be managed by Native Americans. Problems solved. Civilian oversight from each location to advise.
Great news getting the swamp to drain itself. Trump 2020
A chance to leave DC and live in Colorado!
They are either stupid or people with colored faces.
It’s time to decentralize more federal agencies. Spread them across fly over country. If the employees quit so much the better we can re hire new folks in the new locations.
It’s time to decentralize more federal agencies. Spread them across fly over country. If the employees quit so much the better we can re hire new folks in the new locations.
Yes, this is very good. I’d do that for every federal department. Get them out of DC land. Even better when they quit.
While your at it also stop selling off any BLM lands the land belongs to American citizens not govt puppets,also stop killing off off wild horses and donkeys just to benefit cattlemen who lease lands for pennies on the acre.
that is good need to move more dept. out of that place thank you Mr. Trump.
Can’t wait to see where he sends the NASA folks
My hope the same is done with the EPA and the National Education System. They all deserve to be shut down.
The ones complaining can’t send orders to people they don’t know about things they don’t understand just so they can make money. BLM was deliberately covered by Black Lives Matter to keep their land grabs and uranium deals silent.
the workers are upset because they are UN ELECTED people that had more power than elected officials… Nothing they do in that crap hole is efficient or good for the people.. If people actually read the constitution they would find ALL 535 violate their oaths and the constitution. And the things they do, do is SCREW IT UP take for a few examples the post office, or amtrak…
Taking out the trash, but the trash is objecting.
Too funny! THUMP! The sound of bureaucrats getting kicked to do their jobs!
Man…..I LOVE Trump. MAGA

And to take down the greatest president ever, President Trump!! Keep up the great work President Trump! 2020 and beyond! From the Patriots of a Commie Demoncrat free America!
Thanx to the Trump administration for keeping their promise for clearing out dysfunctional agencies. Now on to the rest…..
Keep going to other useless agencies. The Department of Energy should be next A $30,000,000,000.00 annual budget that accomplishes nothing. Can um all!
WE NEED TO REDUCE THE HEAD COUNT OF THE GOVERNMENT. HERE IS SHOCKING INFORMATION THAT WILL BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BORROWED $$$$$$$ FROM SOCIAL SECURITY?. Today,The Federal Government currently owes the Social Security Trust Fund $2.85 Trillion Dollars. That is $2,850,000,000,000. The Federal Government has borrowed from the Social Security Trust Fund since it began. However, in 1983 President Ronald Reagan (a Republican) and Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill (a Democrat) came to an agreement to increase Payroll taxes allowing the Social Security Trust Fund to build a large surplus so they would have the funds to help pay the Social Security obligations to baby boomers when they retired.
Politicians in Washington couldn’t keep their hands off the money in the Social Security Trust Fund. While both parties have been quick to blame the other one for the raid of the Social Security Trust Fund, both parties have been equally to blame. Every year the total balance in the Social Security Trust Fund has been transferred to the Federal Treasury and replaced with non negotiable bonds which are stored in a filing cabinet at the Bureau of Public Debt in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The interest on these bonds is “paid” by the issue of eleven more bonds.
The Federal Government will only have money to repay its obligations by raising taxes or radically cutting spending. In the words of Senator Mike Enzi “If the revenues are not there (and they will not be as long as the government continues to run budget deficits), then the federal government will have to raise taxes or cut other spending to finance promised Social Security benefits. This is gross financial mismanagement. We don’t have enough trust funds with money in them to satisfy the demands put on our government.” Ask your government representative what he intends to do about this problem before casting your vote.
WHO WILL CORRECT THIS PROBLEM? They can’t seem to get it done. Will someone correct this?
Consider taxing members of the HOUSE and Senate to pay for it. They caused the problem. They all need to anti up 40% of their salaries and no Social Security.
Consider cutting the 731,100 people in the Department of Defense,
Consider cutting the 381,457 people in the Department of Veterans Affairs,
Consider cutting the 198,399 people in the Department of Homeland Security,
Consider cutting the 93,401 people in the Department of Agriculture,
Consider cutting the 87,676 people in the Department of the Treasury.
Consider cutting the 84,822 People in the Department of Health and Human Services,
Consider cutting the 115,976 people in the Department of Justice,
Consider cutting the 68,275 people in the Department of Interior,
Consider cutting the 54,748 people in the Department of Transportation,
Consider cutting the 47,704 people in the Department of Commerce.
Consider a 20% reduction in all of these Departments How far would that go to correct the payment?
But
But
But
Them BLM land managers went to college for 4 years to get a land management degree!
Now
How will they ever repay those college loans?
It’s coming
Wait for it
Trump needed to fire them . The ones the quit was afraid they might have to do something the others just to lazy or dumb to find another job.
Where do the quitters wind up after abandoning their positions in DC? Is there sufficient room on the Sanders or Biden staffs to absorb them?
Good job reducing the federal payroll !!! It’s like getting rid of old useless cars polluting their air space with rust.
Maybe some of us should take those now available jobs and make the agency more American than Globalistic…
DRAINING THE SWAMP~! WHO wouldn’t want to move out of a crappy city like DC and move to the healthy state of Colorado? Hell the sky is even more blue there~! hahaha
Thank you President Trump!
This is a glorious tangible step toward 1) reducing the Swamp, 2) reducing WASTE, and 3) getting “government servants” (an oxymoron) out among the people they “serve.” Will Americans suffer because the BLM has been cut in half and disseminated West? No they will not.
All the DC liberals that are complaining have an …. “agenda”. Don’t kid yourself, they have been living off our money far to long. I left Colorado just for this reason. In the Obama era, they came in and put 10’s of thousands of people out of work in the fracking industry. Now it’s our turn to put them out of work.
I am sure most of these people didn’t quit but retired at full pay and benefits. The drain on our coffers has been large in the many years we have had the left install these people in their do nothing jobs. The Bureau of land management is one. Many have never been to the areas they manage. They all have the sheepskins that say they are educated look closely, and we would find nepotism rampant. Their favorite pastime is attending federal funded dinners that hand out all sorts of “awards” that mean nothing but the culmination of a speech containing many big words and many pats on the backs agreeing on just how wonderful they are. perhaps they need to ask for a raise. Oh, wait they already did. Good riddance. they cut the department in half and the problems will be cut in half as well. ———-Grampa
Funny how this logical action totally infuriates the Liberals. They actually contend that having the public servants being placed closer to the people they represent as ‘politicized’. Absolutely tragic.
What a unique question. Imagine, having to move close to the lands that you manage! No cushy DC environs, no lunches with denizens of other overstuffed, overstaffed bureaus, committees, etc. Yeh, I think this move is a great idea. The whole Federal Government needs to be moved out of DC or downsized or eliminated.
Good, probably didn’t need the cocksuckers anyhow.
BEST IDEA YET: get rid of the bureaucratic tangle and move them to where it counts.
They do not belong only in Washington Dc. How many more bureaus could be moved.
Lets see: Health care, move to Chicago where there is a huge problem. Indian affairs, move to a reservation. Education: move to either Los Angeles or San Francisco where totally uneducated people live. Think about it seriously, the pentagon has Naval school where their is water, the Airforce is close to the large air base in Neb and Norad. The Coast Guard education again is next to water. Wow what a concept. Reduce Washington DC to a telephone or internet hub and keep all the congressmen and women where they belong. At home away from temptation where we can see their activities and corruption.
Great. Good management principle. It is never a good idea to have absentee management. Besides, you do not have to pay the huge salaries to people in those locations because the cost of living is so much less than Washington DC. You might also notice NO COVID-19 in most of those locations. No dense populations. Beautiful territory. The people who move may actually come to appreciate rural areas, rural values and rural people. What a concept!
Say, I’ve just had a GREAT idea: How ’bout we ask President Trump to run for re-election, later this year? America could REALLY, REALLY use a pro-American president for another four years, especially after watching that goof that went aruond bowing to everybody–I forgot his name–constantly apologizing for America…
These treasonous hypocrite libs(lying sack of Schiff) don’t know the meaning of the truth! They are at it again and just as mentally deranged as the rest of the Globalists NAZI Muslim Commie Liberal Demoncrats! Deep State, Pelosi, Waters, Schumer, Hollywood, Academia, Fake News, Swamp News and you know the rest!! Expose, Boycott, Sue, prosecute and bring to justice all these lying Fake News deep state treasonous Godless NAZI commie liberal demoncrats and RINOs (Mutt Romney, Susan Collins, Lindsey Grahams ,Murkowski, Justice Roberts, Bolton and you know the rest of the traitors) post-haste,Patriots!
