Donald Trump, the
Wall Street Journal reports, is mulling the idea of forming a third party in his own political image, and calling it the Patriot Party. The report cites White House insiders who said the departing ex-president discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week. Patriot, however, is not just any old name. It s a self-descriptive name that has long been used by the conspiracist Bircherite radical right, for decades a cauldron of extremist behavior ranging from Oklahoma City to the Bundy standoffs to the January 6 Capitol insurrection, spawning such movements as militias and sovereign citizens and inspiring numerous acts of violence. It s an unmistakable dogwhistle to the American extremist right.
The family’s lawyer sent the following statement via email:
“The Hammond family wishes to extend their sincerest appreciation and thanks to the many individuals and organizations who have supported them, their livelihood and the agricultural industry as a whole. They look forward to helping manage the natural resources in a responsible and productive manner. Everyone’s efforts have truly been a blessing.”
Before issuing a permit like the one awarded to the Hammonds, the Bureau of Land Management must evaluate several factors, including whether the applicants have been good stewards of the land and have complied with past grazing permits.
