@wilson_dunham_f New Pyrenees.

Show the current reality of your farmstead in one pic... Go. (NOT an AI generated image😂)

@beefygristle @wilson_dunham_f So sorry. Update?

@bowtiedfarmer @Culture_Repair Right!?!? This is crazy!

We used to have a proper 2x4

@wilson_dunham_f No, he stayed in the barn mostly... he came out to see if I had snacks 🤣

@AlvarezBower Did he get frost bite this winter like mine?

Good news. No more predator fatalities this morning, but this is just a lull in the battle... I expect. 9 hens + "Bobby" my American Bresse rooster. Here's their breeding stock setup. Nothing fancy. All on the relatively cheap < $500 complete.

@Okie_Rancher Soooo sorry

For those following and asking about the cow, she was suffering early this morning, so we called the vet again and showed video. That line between the hope of saving and cruelty of allowing her to suffer had been crossed. I put her down. I’ve done this my entire life and a week that starts with pulling a dead calf and ends with putting a momma down is brutal. I’ve done both before, will likely do both again. But when I came inside my wife had shower going while sitting on the floor so my son wouldn’t hear her crying. We held each other for a bit, had coffee, and I’m heading in to the office to pretend it’s a normal day. Oddly, it is a normal day in a way. Most don’t understand that being a daily part of the cycle of life makes the loss of life harder, not easier. Those who buy food off the shelf never really understand the life sacrificed to put it there and huge operators with thousands are numb to it as it’s just expected “loss.” But, others understanding isn’t the point. You invest in each, protect each, and fight for each with no one watching, (well, at least not until I post it here). We honor those lives that sustain us. It is a way of living that I’ll cling to as long as I can. My mother in law heard the shot from her little place (she lives right next to us here on the farm) and knew what it was… she knows how I hate doing it … and she texted after. I thought it was beautiful.

Chill Winston! Let's help these folks un-chain themselves from the beast first. The government owns them... they can't just quit. By the way, if we forgive student loans it will cost us 1.4 TRILLION. If we forgive farmer's debt, it will cost 5 BILLION or the equivalent of a few hospice centers in Cali.

@bigaljack Plant grass and cover that area with cattle, sheep, and chickens. You deserve worse than that if you continue to grow high fructose corn syrup and ethanol for government subsidies. Try producing actual food.

It was 95 degrees on Sunday. Tuesday morning, freeze. Back in mid 90s by the weekend.

@ATEOutdoors That camel is a man! Wow!

You know what to do folks. Convince this guy to get a camel! Lol

@sarahadams Great news!

Al-Qaeda on the Defensive: Messaging, Misdirection, and Mounting Losses On March 17, 2026, Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) released a formal statement in Kabul responding to Pakistani Military airstrikes conducted between March 16 and 17. The statement is significant not just for what it says, but for what it attempts to conceal. AQIS framed the strikes as an attack on civilians, claiming Pakistani warplanes targeted a “drug rehabilitation center” and caused mass casualties. This claim is misleading and part of a deliberate information strategy. The actual target was a Taliban weapons depot containing AQIS weapons, located in close proximity to the facility referenced in their statement. By centering its narrative on the civilian site, AQIS is attempting to redirect attention away from the loss of its own operational assets. The group’s messaging follows a familiar al-Qaeda playbook. It blends religious framing, claims of civilian harm, and accusations against those fighting them, portraying in this case the Pakistani military as acting on behalf of the United States and Israel. The irony is that there are members of Hamas inside a dozen al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan. This is likely not something they want to highlight, particularly to Israel, as Afghanistan is where Hamas is working to reestablish its presence. The AQIS statement, which I have attached here, repeatedly invokes martyrdom, frames the conflict as a “proxy war,” and positions AQIS as a defender of the Afghan Taliban and the broader Muslim population, even as al-Qaeda and the Taliban are among the groups causing the most harm and deaths to Muslims in the Pakistan–Afghanistan border region. This is not just rhetoric. It is a calculated effort to mobilize support, shape perception, and obscure battlefield realities. The statement also signals alignment with the Taliban, reinforcing a unified front against Pakistan and, frankly, the rest of us, while laying the groundwork for continued escalation. By invoking external actors and alleged ties to Western influence, al-Qaeda, using its AQIS affiliate, is attempting to broaden the conflict narrative beyond the immediate strikes. They are testing the waters to see how AQIS messaging resonates, then will amplify their media efforts accordingly. But the operational reality tells a different story. These strikes are not isolated, and they are not limited to just the Taliban or the Haqqani Network. Pakistani military operations are now impacting multiple layers of al-Qaeda’s presence, including its Afghanistan-based networks, its core senior leadership infrastructure, and key affiliates such as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU). One of al-Qaeda’s primary external operations training sites has been targeted, a site that was central to its U.S. homeland plotting, along with several weapons depots tied to the group's broader operational planning. This reflects disruption at a structural level, not just a tactical one. There are also clear indicators that al-Qaeda is absorbing significant losses. Foreign fighters are being moved into hospitals using Afghan identification to mask their identities and obscure casualty figures. At the same time, the group has accelerated burial practices, conducting rapid interments of foreign operatives to limit visibility into the scale of fatalities. These are not the actions of an organization operating freely. They are the behaviors of a network under pressure and actively attempting to conceal the extent of that pressure. For years, al-Qaeda operated in Afghanistan with near-total freedom of movement, training, and coordination. That environment allowed the group to rebuild capabilities, strengthen external operations planning, and deepen ties with regional affiliates. What is happening now represents a meaningful shift. This week has been the most significant blow to al-Qaeda’s presence in Afghanistan since the strike that killed Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri in July 2022. Unlike that operation, which removed a single leader, these strikes are targeting infrastructure, logistics, and weapons sites simultaneously. Viewed in this context, AQIS’s statement reads less like a position of strength and more like a reactive narrative. It is an attempt to control perception at a moment when operational realities are moving in the opposite direction. Al-Qaeda is not simply issuing a statement. It is adapting under pressure, absorbing losses, and attempting to hide the full extent of the damage. Let's not let them!

@Not_the_Bee No vote for him!! When do I get to vote him out? November?

Republican Thom Tillis failed to show up to vote for the SAVE Act, one of the most important bills in U.S. history notthebee.com/article/republ…

@EastTNMama That is a great price. I am over by Marion... we sell shares at $7 a pound hanging weight. We age 30 days which results in approximately 10% loss in addition to loss from bones. You got a great price!

So, my grass fed half cow ended up being 250 pounds of meat for around $6.40 a pound. What do you think?

@LeaderJohnThune Is he saying the Democrats sneaked something into the Act?

Starting today, we are going to have an important fight on the Senate floor. Polling shows broad support for all of the issues included in the SAVE America Act. But never underestimate Democrats’ ability to get on the wrong side of what the American people want.

@howertonjosh Watching this on our Sabbath ❤️ We have a homestead... we rest on Tuesdays. Our fellow homesteaders are starting to do the same. It is hard to implement at first, but well worth the effort which is typical for all of God's invitations.

This is likely the most ignored Commandment in the entire Bible... and violating it is killing you slowly. God's design is meant to be a blessing to you, not a burden.

@thekyleyates This was a wonderful thing to see today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Getting some half smiles right now ❤️

@nickshirleyy @AntiFraudClub_ When you have your first boy... it will be very tempting to name him Joey. ❤️

@AntiFraudClub_ Pray for lil Joey 🙏🏼 Poor kid just wants to Lear 😭

Little Joey hasn't had much success enrolling in FRAUD daycares!

@nickshirleyy @MAGAVoice Godspeed

@MAGAVoice TOMORROW

Who else is excited to see Nick Shirley expose Gov Gavin Newsom for what he’s done to California ?

@BuffaloRon HAHAHAHA

Was gonna Livestream the pasture dragging today but I figured no one needs to see that kind of shitshow....

@PrimalKevin @GuntherEagleman Sounds like a convenient way to set the citizens up for something nefarious.

@AlvarezBower @GuntherEagleman Unfortunately yes of course. Just like the bogus universal injunctions. Clogging system definitely in their tool bag.

🚨 BREAKING: PRO-2ND AMENDMENT PATRIOTS are FLOODING the streets outside the Virginia Capitol RIGHT NOW, standing shoulder-to-shoulder to STOP Gov. Abigail Spanberger from RAMMING through her sweeping gun control tyranny!!

@PrimalKevin @GuntherEagleman From the time it is jammed through until the time the Supreme Court overturns it, would the citizens have to abide?

@GuntherEagleman She’ll ram it through because she’s a commie who only wants criminals to be armed. The Supreme Court will overturn it.

@longstoryfarms I am prepping by creating a large homestead...but my more important prepping is building the faith needed to reach into a freezer with only a few pieces of meat left while knowing that God will feed the long line of people standing in front of me.

On a serious note, the people who think preparedness is about combative skills will end up being a scourge to their communities. Disasters almost always defy your most cynical assumptions about human nature because people pull together. If the only preparedness you have is how to fight people you will be on the outside looking in while your neighbors rally together to help people through the crisis. The number of self appointed petty warlords in prepper circles is depressing, instead of an AR-15, get a grill or a crock pot and learn how to use it to build community. That will take you a lot farther.
