"DOGE's unelected bureaucrats in Washington have no idea how to staff a park, a wildlife refuge, or a campground," Rokala said.

"They have no idea how to manage a forest or prepare for fires in the wildland-urban interface. But Doug Burgum just gave DOGE free rein over all of that."

What could possibly go wrong?

The Trumpf junta will sell off America's natural resources to pay for the American Sovereign Wealth Fund. That's why Trumpf appointed billionaire oligarch Douglas James Burgum from North Dakota to the junta as Interior Secretary.

"Some in Trumpf's orbit have floated the idea of funding the sovereign wealth fund through the sale of federal land and natural resources. On paper, the federal government owns some 259 million hectares " a potentially valuable source of capital."

"Why should the masses enjoy federal parks for free like Yellowstone or Yosemite? Let them fly to exotic places in private jets for their vacations like us!"

Global warming is our greatest enemy, and one of Trump's best buddies...

Hi Hughmass: Global warming is also Putin's friend. The thaw in the arctic and the permafrost in Russia facilitates drilling for underground oil and minerals. While the West is vulnerable to rising ocean levels, Russia is not, affecting perhaps two of their cities: St Petersburg and Vladivostok. Decades ago Putin's arctic team planted the Russian flag on the North Pole seabed claiming the continental shelf and therefore all of the resources therein: cimsec.org
