And Harry Reid goes back to his Primal Scream Leftist Meme.
The Koch Brothers are responsible for everything bad.
I suspect it’s time for Harry Reid to retire to his nice home and fill his days with pablum, brief sedate walks, re-runs of Golden Girls and dark socks worn with shorts and patent leather shoes.

The threats from the omnipotent United States government in DC continue and are legion — and we, as United States citizens, are beginning to tire of these threats.
Texas has already thrown up a road block.
First, Harry Reid said he knew “it wasn’t over,” regarding the Bundy situation:
“Well, it’s not over. We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over,” Reid said back on April 15th, tax day.
This bespeaks volumes in and of itself.
Now, Nevada Senator Harry Reid — who is also the Senate Majority Leader — has thrown his power against Nevada land owners. And against, literally, his own constituents.
Ultimately, this may not play so remarkably well.
From CBSLasVegas.com:
BUNKERVILLE, Nev. (CBS Las Vegas/AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says “something is going to happen” to get Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy to stop letting his cattle graze on federal land.
“It’s obvious that you can’t just walk away from this. And we can speculate all we want to speculate to what’s going to happen next,” Reid told KSNV-TV. “But I don’t think it’s going to be tomorrow that something is going to happen, but something will happen. We are a nation of laws, not of men and women.”
Reid called militias staying at Bundy’s Bunkerville ranch “domestic violent terrorist-wannabes.”
Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., disagreed with Reid, telling KSNV that these militia members are “patriots” and took issue with how the U.S. Bureau of Land Management handled the situation.
“I take more issues with the BLM coming in with a paramilitary army of individuals with snipers. I’m talking to people and groups that are there at the event. Your own government with sniper lenses on you. It made a lot of people very uncomfortable,” Heller told KSNV.
The junior Nevada senator also stated that he wants congressional hearings held about BLM trying to round-up Bundy’s cattle.
My guess is this: “something” won’t play well and it won’t be nice.

From KRNVNews4.com:
RENO, Nev. (MyNews4.com & KRNV) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hasn’t been very vocal about the cattle battle showdown in recent days, but says “it’s not over.”
Reid tells News4’s Samantha Boatman his take on the so-called cattle battle in southern Las Vegas. “Well, it’s not over. We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over,” Reid said.
Of course it’s not over; the events moved into the “public relations abortion” side of the column — a situation the feds didn’t see coming. They’ve pulled back, yes; but simply to regroup. Reid is correct about that.
If this turns into an actual shooting scenario, I can’t think of another setting that has the potential to turn the western United States into a powder keg, with huge ramifications for the rest of the nation.

P.S.
Why no word about this? I suppose solar projects don’t harm or inhibit the desert tortoise, but cattle do?
One small question for BLM: since 1993 and since Mr Bundy has grazed cows on the aforementioned property involving 160,000 acres, how is it that the tortoise species hasn’t been entirely wiped out and eliminated due to the torturous trampling of those evil methane-producing cows?
How is it the tortoise even exists on the property at all — since the government is killing this tortoise in another area of Nevada?
Moreover, where is Harry Reid on the issue? He is, don’t you find, remarkably and shockingly silent on the issue. I wonder why that might be?

From the WashingtonTimes.com:
by John Solomon
FBI agents working alongside Utah state prosecutors in a wide-ranging corruption investigation have uncovered accusations of wrongdoing by two of the U.S. Senate’s most prominent figures — Majority Leader Harry Reid and rising Republican Sen. Mike Lee — but the Justice Department has thwarted their bid to launch a full federal investigation.
And by whom or what?
But the Justice Department’s public integrity section — which normally handles corruption cases involving elected figures — rejected FBI agents’ bid to use a federal grand jury and subpoenas to determine whether the accusations are true and whether any federal crimes were committed by state and federal officials.
Ah. I am assuaged and comforted in knowing that corruption in DC under the Obama Administration is alive and well, and operating — just as Mr Obama claimed — in full, transparent and unvarnished public view for all to see and ignore.
