Trump returns portions of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments to Utah control

Very large swaths of land classified by Obama for protection as national monuments were returned to state control. Deseret News.

President Trump's speech, if you care to hear it.  He is introduced by Warren Hatch in the Utah State Capitol where Trump lauds Hatch as a true fighter while deriding others that he thought were fighters but are not. And tax cuts (and reform), a giant present for Christmas (that he's bringing back). The body of his speech is about state's rights and control.

Photographs of these areas are stunning

Check out comments at Deseret News if you're in the mood for exceedingly bitter disagreement there to spoil the joy.
