**12/18/2021 Since this was written, I have learned of two deaths that are a direct result of the fires. Our hearts and prayers go out to those families of those who have passed away.**

12/17/2021 The area hit by the high winds and wildfires in Kansas this past Wednesday (Dec 15, 2021) is an area that earlier this year was hit with a flash flood that took a large part of Natoma, Kansas. Now they, along with other towns in that area are facing the devastating wildfires that destroyed what had just been re-built. No human lives have been lost to these fires and we pray there aren’t any lost. I know of one burn injury patient is in a Wichita hospital and we pray for a swift and complete recovery. The towns didn’t receive as much damaged as the ranches and farms around these communities, where most farmsteads were lost to the fires. Farmers and ranchers are now homeless and faced with loss of equipment and most of their livestock, which is their only income.

After speaking with many people involved with the cleanup, I can say that everyone is overwhelmed, exhausted, and in shock. They need our help! So, after following some leads, I have contact information for you if you want to help. Because the farmers and ranchers who feed YOU and the world, NEED YOUR HELP!

The Animal Hospital at Plainville, Kansas is taking dog and cat food donations as well as human hygiene products to put together packets for those in need. This is their list: All types of dog and cat food. Human hygiene products: Shampoo, soap, toothpaste/brushes, toilet paper, feminine products, hairbrushes/combs. You might also want to add razors and shaving cream to that list. You can call for address and hours for you to deliver to their office: 785-434-7222.

Monetary donations can be made to Southwind Bank in Russell and Natoma, Kansas. Phone number is 785-483-2300. Web site is Http://www.southwindbank.com. These donations will be administered by the Paradise United Methodist Church. The Paradise United Methodist Church has also set up an on-line donation site where you can donate and designate your donations for the Wildfire relief: https://paradiseks.churchtrac.com . Please designate on your donations : Paradise Area Fire Relief.

There hasn’t been an estimated count on the number of cattle lost as they are still searching for and euthanizing those that are beyond medical help and gathering those surviving animals. Many horses are victims of the fires, some were taken to local veterinarians, and several were taken to the Kansas State University Veterinary Hospital. Those bills will be astronomical, and I am sure donations would help lessen the stress of those who had to take their animals for veterinary care. You can also make donations to the Paradise United Methodist Church and designate that donation for the veterinary care of horses.

Specific needs at this time are listed below with the person of Contact for each area. One thing needed at all sites is Rubbermaid Totes/ plastic totes for those who go to collect their remaining belongings that have survived the fires.

Livestock Feed: Hay, salt, mineral, cattle cubes, protein tubs, All-Stock Sweet Feed.

Fencing Supplies: wire (electric fence wire & barbed-wire), T-posts, Hedge posts, leather gloves, fence stretchers, fencing pliers, electric fence insulators.

Labor & Equipment- They need help, if you have time, they can use it! If you can help clean up or haul livestock and you have the truck & trailer or heavy equipment, it will be appreciated! Trucks to haul hay are needed too!

We also need to keep these folks helping and those victims in our prayers!

Here are some links to videos of the devastation: Warning some show graphic scenes of dead livestock.

Let’s talk about term limits. Everyone knows that term limits would be beneficial to our country, yet those who will vote on such measures refused to do so because they themselves are probably career politicians. So, there is no way to limit the federal level unless we do it at the state level. What am I talking about? I’m talking about limiting the years of service of those we send to Washington DC by setting up a constitutional amendment at the state level! Yes, a simple amendment to the Kansas constitution could easily limit those we send to Washington DC.

Term limits of 12 years for all elected offices could be a simple amendment to the Kansas constitution. This amendment would include those serving at the city and county levels as well as the state and federal level period now while some people would argue that at the city and county level it is hard to find someone to fill those elected posts. I disagree. It is the duty of all American citizens to serve their country in some role throughout their life. Some consider jury duty good enough, others think running for office is the way they should go. The problem is that when we have career politicians were more likely to see corruption. By limiting their service to 12 years total we could cut back on corruption.

We only need to look at Washington DC and the many years that people like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell it’s some of the others have been in office to see that we need a way to control those we sent to Washington DC. There’s even one representative from the state of Alaska that has been in office in that same position for almost 50 years! And the American people wonder why there isn’t any change in Washington DC! These people go to Washington DC saying that they’ll change things they go and see a cesspool and then they find out it’s a Whirlpool and refuse to leave. So, it is up to people like you and I to make those changes. If the state of Kansas sets up a term limit to representatives and senators that we send to Washington DC other states will follow.

Not only do we need to have term limits of 12 years for elected offices, but we should also have term limits for heads of bureaucracies in government. I am not opposed to someone serving a career in an office at any level, it is serving at the head of that office or bureaucracy that becomes a problem. It is easy for a person to become corrupted if they find that they have power and there’s no one there to hold them in check with an election. I believe these two changes would have an immense effect on government.

One can look at senator Jerry Moran service in Washington DC and say that he’s had a long run. He’s been there too long because he has forgotten the people of Kansas. Former Senator Pat Roberts was that way as well. Times are changing and we must for the sake of our country make these changes at the state level to make changes and control the federal level. Our founding fathers set our country up in a way that made the states more powerful than the federal government, yet we see the opposite, but it is happening now.

They say stupidity is doing the same thing repeatedly, yet we elect career politicians to the same office year after election year. It’s time to put this stupidity away and make changes and limit those who are elected. Perhaps they will stay more focused and won’t be easily corrupted. Many of these career politicians just laugh when they hear that somebody else is going to run against them because they have a war chest for elections that prevents the little guys like you and I even running for office. We must make changes at the state level before we can see any changes on the national level.

I am sick and tired: of people posting things on Facebook that imply that “no one cares for me”. You know, those sad ugly puppy dog photos or a person in a wheelchair or who has a facial or some other type of deformity. I am sick of those posts! I care about people, I don’t treat people or animals different because they are different. If they want to be treated normally, don’t draw attention to yourself. I respect you AS YOU ARE. You don’t deserve a special hello or birthday wish. Because I respect you as you are.

I am sick and tired of all the Facebook posts about “If you reject me, I will reject you” that is supposedly from Jesus Christ. I am a child of God, washed in the Blood. I stand up and say what needs to be said as a Christian, I don’t appreciate people trying to shame me because I won’t forward that post on, because you aren’t a Christian if you don’t forward the post. My life as a Christian isn’t defined by Facebook, my life as a Christian is defined by the things I do, the love I share and the help I give, when someone needs it and I do so willingly. Shaming a fellow Christian for not forwarding a post can be detrimental to a young Christian. Just don’t do it. Say “I love you or Jesus Loves you.” Don’t put conditions on passing it on!

I am sick and tired of people accusing those of us in Agriculture, of destroying out planet. WE AREN’T! Animal Rights Extremists and Environmental Terrorists spread their fake bull feces in order to control the population, force them into believing their bull squeeze. They said it would take CENTURIES for the land around Mount Saint Helens to return, after the volcano blew its top. The truth is, the land started healing as soon as the first rains came. The beauty of Nature healing itself is by far grander than anything man could have attempted. Farmers and Ranchers have been improving practices for eons. Learning as we go, understanding how the land works, how beneficial the soil biology is and how we can manipulate our management practices to work in conjunction with the land. And let us not forget about the Carbon (AKA Greenhouse gasses) that are released into the atmosphere. Cow farts are NOT endangering our planet. Humans in huge cities are. Why is it okay for smog and pollution to be in cities yet cows get the blame for endangering humans? And the Rain forests of South America are not the best for sequestration of carbon, the Prairies are!

I am sick and tired of the agendas that government officials and bureaucrats that are power hungry and hung up on themselves who have this deranged ideology that they know better than the rest of us when they have little or no real life experiences outside of an office in Washington DC. I say let’s put them out on the farm and see what they can do, if they can figure out things. Let’s see if they can stick their arm in the back end of a cow or goat to SAVE a baby. Would they have any idea what to do without anyone helping them? If they have come from a real farm, they might know what to do, but if they don’t and they are telling us how to farm, they should go haul manure from a feed yard or drain abscesses from an animal that has a really bad abscess and then know exactly what to give them to heal up. Let’s not forget the withdraw period on antibiotics too you great know-it-all bureaucrat!

I am sick and tired of people declaring others racist, sexist or a white supremist just to make them look bad. They defame people, try to shame them, even when they are within the law to protect themselves. The way I see things now. Government no longer protects the law abiding citizen. According to John Locke, we then fall under the Law of Nature and that law is as it always has been; survival of the fittest.

So, just a warning to all. I am sick and tired of all the bovine feces that everyone is spewing. Don’t expect me to take it, I WILL shove it back and down your throat.

Happy Thanksgiving, safe travels. God Bless you and God Save America from potty pants Joe,

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted by a jury of his peers this afternoon. It seems that the prosecution could not prove that Rittenhouse went to Kenosha to kill but rather protect and in the process, he was attacked. This young man did what any real man would do, protect himself from the threat. Which up until the trial, the threat was not given but rather this young man was demonized by a news media that had a narrative and that narrative failed this time. In fact, the State was so set on putting this white young man in jail, they didn’t think they needed to provide the defense with all the evidence and that in itself almost cost them the case. But the jury did finally get evidence and they deliberated and found him not guilty. Still, the media declares him guilty, a criminal who got off when they wear blinders about Hillary “What does it Matter?” Clinton destroying emails, Russian Collusion and Hunter Biden’s “paid gigs” and his Dad, Crappy Pants Biden’s criminal activities (Now there is a whole sh*t load of miscarriage of justice for you.).

I am so happy that Kyle was acquitted but will he ever be free of the media, smears and the Leftist agenda? I hope this young man and his whole family find a way to “disappear from evil eyes”. I do not feel he is going to be safe without changing his identity and moving to another part of the country. He is now a target of those loony leftists who are capable of evil at every turn. I feel for the Rittenhouse family. Their lives will never be the same. Hell, Kyle’s life changed forever when he protected himself from criminals. Taking a life is not something you can do and not be negatively affected for the rest of your life. He has to live with the fact that he took two lives, even if he did it to protect himself. That will weigh heavily on him if he ever has to defend himself again. I pray he never has to be in that situation again.

This young man has been labelled a white supremist by Poopy Pants Biden and there is no proof of that. I hope this kid’s lawyer is up to going after those who attack this kid because he needs to have this stuff stop, there is a limit to character assassination and it has been breached.

The Left has set up agendas that have brought us to this point, with hopes of banning guns but it has done the opposite; the need for protection is even greater now and we will see more folks defending themselves as the crazies continue their chaos.

God help us and God protect Kyle.

I am writing on behalf of all those Americans who you want to subdue and force us to live a life of false narratives full of bull feces. We totally reject anything and everything you claim is good for us and the country. This includes the New Green Deal, Infrastructure and the closing down of pipelines. These are just a start, but let me enlighten you on what these three things will do to those of us who live with less than $25,000 a year income.

The New Green Deal would require us to have an electric car. Those cars cost an average $19,000 MORE than a gas car. How am I to pay for that thing? I cannot afford a new car. Charging a car up every month would add around $300 a month if I was to drive 2000 miles or more a month, which I do when you consider I live in the country. Oh, by the way, how do I get my vehicle to run if the temperatures are below 20 degrees? Will you com jump start me when the darn thing freezes up midway to town? Or worse yet when we have to drive to Wichita for doctor appointments (over 100 miles). How about my tractor? Those things are hard to start in the wintertime with diesel fuel. The cattle need to be fed. And don’t forget the fart tax on all my cows, I understand it is about $4500 for my beef and $6500 for my dairy cows which by the way, produce less methane than all of New York City in a single day. (Agriculture responsible for about 2% of methane gas released and animal agriculture is less than the 2% Ag puts out.) We can’t sell our cattle for $1.50 a pound, how the holy hell do we justify operating at a financial loss? I raise meat goats and take them out to do weed and brush control, to keep the environment safer from chemicals. I have to drive a gas pickup and gas is $3.60/gallon for my pickup and it has to take premium fuel to run good. My farmer friends who raise grain crops operate diesel tractors, combines and forage harvesters. What sized battery would be needed to operate 14-18 hours a day to get the crops in? Let’s not forget the renewable power you want. Remember Texas freezing up last February? The windmills failed. With the lack of sunshine, solar panels fail. What the hell do you want us to do, live in the dark and freeze our boobs and nuts off? All these “green ideas’ are NOT SUSTAINABLE! You can live that idealistic dream and stop flying fossil fuel planes. We the PEOPLE will stick to what works!

Let’s talk infrastructure. That new infrastructure bill seems to go for everything but infrastructure, which includes roads, bridges and power grids. From what I’ve heard and seen, your cronies think bribing small town news papers, radio stations and television stations to hire more reporters is part of infrastructure. What part of “FREE SPEECH” don’t you get? Government needs to stay out of the press just like it needs to stay the hell away from Religion! Critical Race Theory is not part of infrastructure yet I believe it is included to teach in schools and what about this EQUITY feces? NONE of that FECES should be included.

When you took office, you closed down a oil pipeline which resulted in immediate LOSS OF JOBS for thousands. You certainly don’t endear yourself to the PEOPLE. Your hatred for Trump keeps you from admitting that for once in a very long while, we were energy independent. People were driving places, making the economy thrive. Now we struggle to get supplies we need for building houses, helping others and just making ends meet. My small business took a $13,000 hit this summer just to pay my gas bill to drive to my customer’s work sites. I barely make $20,000 a year with my business and taking that big of a hit will REDUCE the taxes I pay into your greedy hands.

Fortunately, I know how to live off the land, have hunting skills beyond using guns (try to get mine and you will find out how tough I really am). Unfortunately for all those city slickers, they don’t have those skills. And you thought covid vaccines was your population control! Only those of us in the country will survive.

So Joe, I suggest you get Jill to take you home and put you in the nursing home. Kamala needs to go back to Willie, Nancy needs to buy a liquor store and live in it and Chucky needs to buy a pair of glasses that doesn’t stretch his nose to his bottom lip. AOC can find a country that will tolerate her dumb as a rock mentality and the lame stream media that follows you all should make porno films. Leave the rest of us the flu ck ALONE.

P.S. Remember, there are more of us than you! Once this bear decides it has been poked on enough, you WILL not have a chance to run and hide.

Piss OFF!

From WE THE PEOPLE WHO’VE HAD ENOUGH

I spent almost 5 hours listening to the hearings that were held in Topeka on October 30, 2021. The hearings were about the mask mandates. Wow! The People showed up and were very adamantly opposed to the Government overreach! Many stated they were not Anti-Vaccine but were against Government Oppression! Bravo! People for and against Covid Vaccines on the same side, opposing the tyranny of the Government! Each respecting the other’s views, working together, toward one goal, to get the State to stand up against the Federal Government’s threats. There was even on lady who said she was a liberal but has changed her ideology when she was what was happening! She even pulled her kids out of public schools, to protect them! Amazing!

What was perfectly clear throughout the hearing was the PEOPLE were FED UP with the lack of ACTION in the Kansas State Legislature and not calling for a special session to deal with the situation. I think it wouldn’t take much to see the PEOPLE take up pitchforks and shovels, to get their point across. I could feel it, even through the video. The PEOPLE are pissed and won’t take it any more. IF the Legislature doesn’t act, I foresee many changes of faces in Topeka. There was even an offer from one group who stated they will stand behind the Legislators when they stand up against the Federal Government! This was a group that is part of the militia! Way to go! The drums are beating and we will march together! This Patriot is excited.

It was interesting that the demographics of the people were largely from areas neat Kansas City, Topeka and Lawrence but also from Wichita and other parts of Kansas. They took the time to be heard and participate. You should join in the movement or another movement to stop the Federal Government overreach. Hearings on the 30×30 will be coming up soon, we hope and your testimony is vital. You can even call legislators to let them know what you think on any topic. You can get contact information by going to the Kansas Legislature page: kslegislature.org

Wow! The Left is utterly losing their minds over the Virginia Governor’s race and yet they attempted to claim white supremists are the only ones who would vote for the Republican candidates. But look! The Democrats had a white guy running for Governor and LT Governor. The Republicans had a White Man and a Woman of Color (A Marine at that! And and a LEGAL IMMIGRANT). To make things even more interesting, the Attorney General’s race in the State of Virginia was won by a Republican who happens to be a Latino. Where is the Left getting off saying that the Republican party is the party of white supremists? Looks like to me they have plenty of ethnic representation, so that shoots that theory down.

The fact that the Republicans swept the offices up for election seems to me a sign for the Democrats to take notice that the People are not happy with the direction the country is going and as Vice President Harris said last month, the direction Virginia goes in this election is the direction the whole country would go. Could this be so?

I think we will see the Left going into overdrive yet again, to blame people for their failings and make even more crazy accusations that aren’t true. The American Citizen does not want the government to babysit them, they do not want to lose any more freedoms and they are tired of mandates that are Unconstitutional and blatantly illegal tot he point they violate the Nurnberg Code. Could this election be the proverbial “canary in the cage”? I think so. Let’s hope that the Conservatives are able to get 100% of their registered voters to turn out and let’s hope that those who have been disenfranchised by the Left will turn toward the Right in hopes that we can actually make things work.

God Help US ALL!

With everything going on with the virus, the overreach of t he Federal Government, not to mention school boards and forced vaccination, we have stumbled into what the New World Order wanted for us before Trump was elected. Now you hear things like test states using Digital Driver’s Licenses and within that framework you will be scored on various topics including social scoring. China has social scoring already and it you don’t fit within that social scoring average, you will suffer the consequences of that.

So what are the consequences of such scores? Being allowed to live in certain areas, purchase food, purchase vehicles and where your kids go to school, I can guarantee if you are an Evangelical Christian, you will be among those who are going to score low, haves and have nots will be the game. In fact, you may want to read the Hunger Games series to get an idea of what is to come.

So how is this to be corrected? For God’s Sake VOTE OUT every last Democrat and RINO and anyone who has been in office for more than 12 years. That is the first step. the second step is to join with those who have the same ideologies and learn how to produce American made products as well as educate our children with the TRUE History and TRUE morals that our country embraced when it was founded. Follow the Constitution and do your duty as American Citizens. Run for office, do your time and let someone else take over. Each one of us should be able to serve in some capacity for a time, then let someone else run for office instead of living in Washington DC for 30-50 years like many in Congress do. We no longer have a House and Senate but a House of Lords and Ladies (I use that term lightly), just as King George did when we sent him the Declaration of Independence.

The most important thing we must do is turn to God. Our country was greatly blessed as long as we were a Christian Nation but we have gone wayward and until we return to God with a repentant heart, we will suffer the consequences. Now the biggest kept secret I will reveal. In spite of what is bad in this world, Christians win! They can persecute us, kill us and we as believing Christians WILL go to Heaven! But they make us martyrs and others will stand up and take our place. If they leave us alone and let us live our lives, we win! Then perhaps others will see our lives and want what we have, because we will be blessed in spite of all hardships. WE can win more for the Lord! We win again!

Sadly, those who refuse to see the Truth will pay the consequences for eternity. Let’s get busy and start praying folks. Remember that the Lord said that those who call His name, he will hear and give them the desires of their heart. New World Order or not, The Creator of this World knows when its time is up and I think we would much rather be on His side than the side of this stupidity coming out of Washington DC.

By the way, Happy Reformation Sunday!

It is simple to see the beginnings of two United States of America. The current administration is attempting to force mandates which are totally unconstitutional on to the people. Those of us who refused to comply, are going to be threatened with a “punishment”, so to speak. we will be restricted to travel on airplanes, we will be refused entry to certain stores, theaters, or special events. In some cases education will be refused by universities if you do not comply with certain mandates. However, you will also find that those who are being “punished”, will find alternative ways 2 receive at the services or entertainment or products without going to those stores, theaters, schools. It will appear like a “black market” so to speak, for lack of better terms. Interesting enough, instead of being punished you will find that this group of people that have been targeted for noncompliance will thrive.

Sadly, the areas or cities or demographics who do comply with mandates, will find that they will be punished bye those corporations, organizations and government entities who seek to punish those who don’t comply.  So in other words just the opposite is going to occur. How can I say this? Well it’s simple to see. Those who refused to comply will find those people who are willing to take advantage of a market that opens up, and they will cater to those who have been ostracized by the federal government. This market will thrive better than the original market, in spite of the supposed restrictions.

In some cases I believe that the left would encourage a split of the United states, by putting all the red states together as one country and then the left leaning states would have their country. Sadly though this would be to the detriment of those living in the left leaning states because dare need to support themselves would be dismal. Most of the red states are very productive agriculturally and in manufacturing, And the left leaning states are areas of the country that have seen decline since the 1960s.

The results of this split would most definitely see those areas of the country that are populated by the minority, see even worse situations occur for them. the high welfare rates and unemployment rates would skyrocket. Interesting though, there are jobs everywhere right now because people are too lazy to go back to work. so for a while the left leaning areas of the country will see a slight improvement in economy and then a major drop. The red states we’ll see their economy boom. And for the near future it will grow and become stronger.

Let the federal government split the country, they will see that those who refused to comply, will thrive in spite of the roadblocks they have put up. They will see the ingenuity of the people who made this country in the first place. Do not comply! Do not worry! Sometimes a reset button is a good thing, sometimes you have to split the sheets. Right now I think splitting the sheets would be the best way to go.
