I put a majority of the blame on the current administration and Sally Jewell head of the Department of Interior. Even without funding they could/should have used common sense in areas that are “open air” like the National Mall in DC, and other areas that need not be “physically manned” for access. Even the Normandy American Cemetery in France was closed. Can you imagine travelling to Europe to pay your respects to a friend, loved one, and not being able to access the Cemetery? The President could have easily kept these places open.
For example: At Sachuest Point which is a Federal Wildlife Refuge, the gates are now closed. Now to show you how ridicules this is consider that this same refuge is closed to the general public after sunset, except for those that have a nighttime fishing permit. So the gates are never closed even when the refuge is not officially open. But the Department of Interior decided to close the gates because of funding when they don’t need funding or manpower at Sachuest to keep them open. The administration held the trump card and could have come out of this looking golden if they played it right – but instead they choose to hurt us for political reasons - shame on them.

Lets get rid of them all and start over fresh with some intelligent people for a change!


On a side note, there has been mention of Elizabeth Warren running for persident. I guess if lack of experience is now a qualification for that position the line would go out the door and around the block....TWICE!

We may truly be doomed as a nation, but I still hold out a slim hope that someone will take their head out of their arse and see what they are really doing TO the people instead of FOR the people!

I am a legend in my own mind!
