January 21, 2024; life goes by so fast. Today my father would have been 104 years old. The last time I talked to him I was 20, and not quite a man. Almost to the day I have lived 2/3rds of my life without him. The sacrifice to volunteer and go fight the Nazis still lives inside of me. It’s hard to believe he has been gone almost 39 years. These thoughts of sacrifice makes it clear to me that one of Americas present day flaws is that to many people are completely unwilling to make even the slightest of personal sacrifice. In fact the majority of our politicians benefit on the backs of the sacrifice of others. Maybe this prominent deficiency in our leadership is a big part of the reason America is flailing. I was finally able to get a bunch of letters my father had received after recovering from his gunshot wound and returning home. I wanted to share this letter with all of you. It is nearly 80 years old and it is a real breathing example of sacrifice people were once more than willing to make for our great country. It’s from the wife of a good friend of my fathers that served with him in the Battle of the Bulge. Happy birthday Dad, your son, J.Goodrich https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a1FEnWGAoquMZFOgrhWwNHVQ
It seems the 2024 Arctic blast is fading. Though not numerically as cold as last year, this year's cold snap came in fast and hard here with sub 20 below temps without near the snow cover depth. It hit harder. I run 3 water lines for the livestock--one each for cattle, ewes, and horses and rams. All but the cattle froze in the first 3 or 4 days, Lucky really, for the cattle take the lion's share. I hauled-no electricity nearby to thaw tanks-for the horses, the sheep can get alot of their moisture from the snow. It varies, but by temps or snowpack above +10-20F, my breeds and cross breeds really don't drink much liquid water. And with a long beard and whistling constantly--I'm an asthmatic and I learned long ago pursed breathing is so much more efficient when short of breath--I carry alot of ice off my chin.
Which comes around to the link on the nonsense on 2023 being the 2nd warmest. A great expose of just how bogus the temperature figures are.
Obama's Martha Vineyard 12-million-dollar summer home is a cottage compared to his 25-acre Obama Compound on Oahu! Isn't it amazing that a community organizer rose to be President of the US and accumulated the massive wealth when he was paid less than Fauci?
"It flies in the face of reason that the drafters of the Constitution would take pains to carefully list the Congress’s specific authorities, yet simultaneously say Congress could also do anything it thinks generally beneficial.
Countering those who sought to interpret the clause that way, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “To consider the…phrase…as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please, which might be for the good of the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.”
Clearly, based on context and history, those two words, general welfare, do not bestow an authority. Indeed, they’re present to limit an authority — the power to tax and spend."
Trans Golfer, two views: I will never understand why blacks keep voting Democrat, when it’s blatantly obvious, democrats only pander for votes with zero action.
Democrats are the ones destroying everything women have worked for & yet the majority of women continue to vote for these sociopaths to destroy them. Make it make sense 🤪
I remember that Opus comic well ("Opus" was a sort of postscript to "Bloom County").
It started with the "men" (Opus, Bill the Cat, and Milquetoast the cockroach) telling a joke, "How do you know when a woman has been using your computer? There's white out on the screen". Laughter ensues.
Then a woman comes in and scolds them, "Why don't you men take a good look at the thing which gives your life meaning?", which leads to the image here.
Needless to say it was not well received, causing a bit of a dust up. I really miss Bloom County.
This is actually incredibly interesting to Me. My Best Friend had, what was called, a 2% chance of living longer than 6 months (cancer)…meditation with Pac-Man T-cells running around mentally. He beat it!!! Ed
Kevin Roberts nailed it at the end of his interview. This is political war. Pretending otherwise will result in our failure. Pure and simple. We need to elect those who see this and are willing to go there.

Lol ‼️ 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Yep! End gender confusion the old fashioned way!!!!
Respect to Rand Paul for giving Haley an anti-endorsement. Ouch.
All great as always...the wicked Nikki of the West on a bicycle made me laugh out loud 😂😂
After moving from 1 party MA to 2 party NH, finally my vote actually matters!
NO. My new favorite word.
It all makes sense now. I didn't get this before, but now I see that the "PAC" in "PAC-MAN" must stand for Political Action Committee.

from Canada: WATCH: Canadians chanted "F*ck Trudeau" at last night's UFC 297 event in Toronto.

NO! I say NO. Over and over again NO.

The video on taxing is great..
