@schiele_lance Is that Diamante?

Sheltering in place

The latter isn’t even arguable.

Wow. Joel Salatin, a farmer and regenerative agriculture advocate, has been offered a position within the USDA. He will advise Thomas Massie who’s agreed to be Secretary of Agriculture. Here’s the full message posted to his website today: “The deplorables and garbage people won again.  Can you believe it?  I've been contacted by the Trump transition team to hold some sort of position within the USDA and have accepted one of the six "Advisor to the Secretary" spots.  My favorite congressman, Thomas Massie from Kentucky, has agreed to go in as Secretary of Agriculture. He's been the sponsor of the PRIME ACT, which, if pushed through, would be the biggest shot across the bow of the entrenched industrial meat processing system we've seen in a century.  Let liberty ring.  Wouldn't that be a change of fortune for Big Ag?  If RFK Jr. goes in as Sec. of Health and Human Services, everything will be inverted.  Talk about the coolest turn about.  He'd be the boss of the Faucis and Francis Collins--the whole covid anti-science crowd.  Wouldn't that be a change of fortune for Big Pharma?   And if Elon Musk goes in as a Government Waste Czar, do you think he could possibly find something?    Here's an interesting tidbit.  All the income taxes in the U.S. are $2 trillion a year.  Government spending and borrowing are so out of control that if we eliminated $2 trillion from the budget, it would only set us back to 2020.  Does anyone think returning to government spending in 2020 would destroy things?  Of course not.  So all we have to do is cut federal spending to 2020 levels and we can eliminate income tax.  Period.  Done.  How would that make you feel? Most people don't know enough history to know that the federal government was to be financed entirely from tariffs and excise taxes.  In fact, as a nation we operated just fine for nearly 150 years without an income tax.  The only president who eliminated the national debt was Andrew Jackson, and he did it by eliminating the second bank of the U.S.  Nearly 100 years later we got the third bank, known as the Federal Reserve, plus the income tax.  During that time, tariffs averaged 40-50 percent.  After the income tax, tariffs dropped to an average of about 7 percent, where they remain today.  If we went back to 40 percent, like we had for nearly 150 years, we would bring production home and free our citizens from impoverishing taxes.  Dear folks, this is a watershed moment to take a creative and serious look at the sacred cows in our nation and fry some serious burgers. We don't know history.  We don't know liberty.  We don't know earthworms or aquifers or immune systems.  I'm hoping this election is an opening to discovery.  Perhaps we could even figure out how to put negative occurrences like jails, pollution, and cancer on the nation's balance sheet, as a liability rather than an asset (Gross Domestic Product--more jails?  wonderful, pour more concrete and make more jobs).   Perhaps we'll eliminate federal involvement in education, from kindergarten to college.  Make every teacher accountable to performance.  Eliminate ALL federal intervention in the food system, in farming, in energy.  The Constitution (read it) doesn't allow for any of this and it's time to examine all of it.  Shut down foreign military bases; bring them all home.  Stop ALL foreign aid, from USAID to military aid.  Sell stuff is fine; giving it isn't.  I think whatever taxes we pay should be able to be designated to certain departments.  That way we the people could support or defund departments directly.  The reason we have K street is because all our freedoms are for sale.  Eliminate government manipulation and the lobbyists all go home.  These are simple things.  Let's do it.” thelunaticfarmer.com/blog/11/6/2024…

You are the media now

IOWA = Trump Country! 🇺🇸 Congratulations @realDonaldTrump on proving the Des Moines Register wrong! Big win for freedom in Iowa!

As a kid I struggled with nerves before a lot of matches. I used to catch myself wanting the easiest route possible for a win. This lead me to start overvaluing the win, which lead me to being scared to lose. Be excited for the actual wrestling, and good things happen.

Caitlin Clark is just built different

@MendenhallZach @RodBeeler1 And possibly drag the corn with them a touch.

@ryankirk25 @RodBeeler1 I had the same conversation with him, hopefully the beans rally like he told me they would.

@RodBeeler1 what was it Fletch said about those 800lb yearlings in may?

Liberals will try to cancel a person of public interest for a tweet from 2016 or shame a regular person over incorrect pronouns. [Fake] But now they want grace for their full-fledged ding-bat crazy world economy breaking lockdowns? Nah. Go stare at the sun & eat a veggie burger

@coleman_peanut What’s blades/combs are you using? Looks clipped closer than ours. Been doing it 20years and results are still mixed. We’re dry ice and 99% alcohol

Doing a little freeze branding of sell bulls.

Sent 6 Road Birds to Wells Fargo Arena & came back w/ 4 STATE MEDALISTS! We battled, we laughed, we cried, and we loved every minute of it. We are grateful for our coaches and families involved! We are going to take some time to rest & get back to work #RoadBirds #PredatorMindset

@muleysnmustangs Only thing I hear people losing their minds about is the antler queer that took a video instead killing it.

Everyone losing their minds about that mountain lion spotted in Iowa as if the Midwest isn’t completely overrun by deer and in desperate need of some natural population regulation by predators.
