In Memory of Steve

Today I will go to the funeral of a dear cowboy friend, Steve Ward.  After the funeral, I intend on riding into the hills on a  horse, to honor my dear departed friend.  I would like to share with you an essay I wrote, the day after his passing.  It was written then as I was in such shock the day he died, I couldn’t even put words together.  To make matters worse, he died on the birthday of a dear cowboy friend who had died nearly fifteen years ago, so I was already down, thinking about my buddy Sid, when I got the news about Steve.  Here is the essay:

 Farewell to Steve

   I lost a cowboy buddy, August 17, 2015.  He was at the sale barn, working the sale, when he took a fall from his horse.  He went quickly; so I’ve been told, so I don’t reckon he had time to say goodbye to anyone.  His passing is hard to take; why just last week, Steve called and we had a nice little chat and then parted with kind words.  I still can’t believe it was the last conversation I had with him.  I will miss him.

   I met Steve when I worked at a feed yard.  He came to shoe horses and I was immediately drawn to this man, who I recognized as a true cowboy.  I heard he had spent may years on the King Ranch in Texas and on the Pitzer Ranch in Nebraska; he had to be a good hand to work those ranches.  He was always kindly to me and had respect for me as a woman cowpuncher.

   We rode together one time; I had a green colt to ride and he offered to ride with me.  It was one of the most pleasant Saturdays I’ve ever had.  We talked for hours and our commonality allowed us a special communion that only cowboys can appreciate.  I loved him as a brother, then and now.  Kindred spirits of the cowboy kind; perpetual optimists, savvy to  uncertain trails, sure of our skills and yet, somewhere deep inside, there is a little bit of bitter sweet understanding that one day, our trail must end.

   Steve and I talked of God and our faith on various occasions and I know I will see Him again, someday.  He, like many cowboys understood the significance of God’s Grace in our lives and perhaps too, it was that Grace that allowed my dear friend to go so quickly.  I do believe that it is the way it was; even though, those of us he left behind must now deal with the loss of a friend, father, grandfather, brother, cousin and uncle.  He leaves a little bit of himself in our hearts and memories to make us smile and then wipe a tear from our eye.

   My heart is broken at the loss of a good friend and even more as this dear friend passed away on the birthday of another dear cowboy, who I lost almost fifteen years ago.  My heart aches for both my cowboy friends, and yet I find some comfort knowing, they were called to ride for HIS brand, forever, on that Glorious Ranch in the sky.  It makes me want to hurry up and get there myself, but I must wait my turn.  I have a few more sunrises and sunsets to see and appreciate, a few more cattle to gather, a few more goats to rope, a few more colts to ride and a few more dusty trails to wander down.

   See you down that Heavenly Trail Steve, and say hi to Sid for me, I’m sure the two of you will have a lot to talk about.

   Your Friend,

   The Barnyard Mare, Duchess of the Prairie

Time for a RE-VOTE

We have proof of voter fraud in many states across the country. Questions have arisen about the mail in ballots, many voters received more than one. Many have found that the US Postal service has lost or dumped many Republican ballots. There irregularities with computer voting machines and the like. There is even some voting information that the military found in Germany! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?????

It is my opinion and that of many others that we should have a re-vote. This time the only mail in ballots that should be mailed in are those that were REQUESTED, not automatically mailed out. These ballots should not have ANY designations on the outside of the ballot that designates what party affiliation the voter has. All the voting needs to be hand counted with full transparency. No late ballots, no extended voting period. Identification must be shown at polling sites, for the voter to vote. Straight forward and simple should rule the day.

Enough is enough the WHOLE country knows the Left/Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party is trying to steal this election. Why? Because they KNOW that THE PEOPLE are tired of their games. If they think for one second that they can get away with what they are trying to do, they will find that resistance will be met at every attempt to overthrow the Constitution.

WE THE PEOPLE ARE PISSED AND THE DEMOCRAT/SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST PARTY HAS BEEN PUT ON NOTICE.

Trump Has Changed the Republican Party

While there are many things about the Republican party that has not changed, President Trump has awakened a sleeping giant that is within the Party itself. For decades, Republicans have put up with elected officials who play the game and stay in office for years. After a while these officials are part of the swamp in one way shape or form, which has been tot he detriment of the party. In fact, it was those officials that sent many voters to voting Democrat, I will admit, for a while, I changed my party affiliation because I THOUGHT the Republicans had abandoned me, and they had, to a degree.

The big thing now is that the Republican party has an opportunity to re-set and become more of what our Founding Fathers wanted for our country and at this junction in our history, it would be a greater advantage if the party LISTENED to the PEOPLE. The overwhelming dissatisfaction with the Democrat Party has sent many of their members looking for help in the Republicans but we cannot remain the same party of the last twenty years, we need to adjust our agenda and keep our elected officials fresh. In other words, we need to LIMIT their time in Washington D.C. to a reasonable time frame. We can no longer have members of Congress that have served since President Johnson. Even 15 years is too long because anyone serving two terms in Senate is already risking their integrity. By limiting terms, we can prevent a lot of “good-ol’ boy” dealings. We can bring in fresh blood and fresh ideas that would actually benefit the Party and the country.

Some would argue that we don’t want someone who doesn’t know how to get things done. Well, there are enough staff on Capitol Hill who know how to do things, to help fresh blood navigate things. What we need is people who are not stagnate, who go home on weekends to see the people and those who have not made millions by being in Congress for decades. We need to stop the Nancy Pelosi’s, Chuck Schumer’s and yes even Mitch McConnell’s because they are making money from lobbyists. Nancy Pelosi’s husband has contracts with the government and that in itself is conflict of interests. these things must be stopped.

Senator Jerry Moran from Kansas is a good example. He started out as a Representative then became a Senator. He has been there too long and the People of Kansas are not happy with a lot of what he is doing but we have a real threat with the Democrats pushing Dr. Bollier, who was actually a real threat to Senator elect Roger Marshall in this recent election. Many who voted for Marshall voted for him because we didn’t want a Democrat representing us in D.C. I would have preferred Kobach, but he was going to be easily defeated by Bollier, so I strategically voted for Marshall. We need the Republican party to have solid candidates and they all need to be equally strong enough to defeat the Democrat candidate. I shouldn’t have to vote strategically out of fear.

I want to suggest to the Republican party, we need to start recruiting potential candidates that are no-nonsense like Donald Trump. We want people who are not easily swayed by money and can be bought. These potential candidates are not your typical prospects, they are every day people who are pissed off about the direction our country has gone. They want term limits for all AND we need to stop making Washington D.C. a money-making trip. In other words, let’s cut out the retirement funds for those serving, no more perks from being a retired elected official. They can make millions being lobbyists or working for companies who need people with their experiences. Serving our country should not mean you become a millionaire by feeding off the government teat.

The Republican party would greatly benefit by recruiting strong-willed, tenacious people who have worked hard and give a darn about our country that can’t be bought. We need more people willing to spout off Truth without fear of being politically incorrect. THAT is why Trump is so well liked, he doesn’t worry about opinion, he fights back and he doesn’t back down. We need Republican leaders just like that because our Founding Fathers had those traits as well. A republic does well when it has fearless leaders willing to fight for what is right and good over what is politically correct.

President Trump has changed the face of the Republican Party and he has reinvigorated t hose who have been overlooked for years, the working man and woman who bust their butts every day to get by who aren’t on the government teat. It is time for the Republican Party to focus on what is practical for the People, not what gets them the lobbyists benefits.

Progressivism: The Death of Free Thought & Creativity

The Progressive movement has long sought to bring us all under control by insisting that we all think and believe the same way, believe the same theories and look to government to heal all our social ills. The problem with this flawed ideology is that the beauty of freedom means everyone can have ideas all their own and use their God-given gifts to their advantage, which in turn is an advantage to all.

For the Left to put us all under their control would mean that new ideas, art, music, science, skills and other needed tools for the human mind will be limited by government. The Left, which is now pushing more towards a communistic control of government and its people would in fact demand re-education of those who are free thinkers. In fact, AOC (Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez) has been suggesting that the Trump supporters go to re-education camps. This is an idea right out of the Communist Party and it is dangerous to say the least. Others on the Left are even suggesting compiling lists of voters who voted for Donald Trump so that employers don’t hire those voters. Sounds sort of closed-minded, doesn’t it?

The Left is known for alienating those who voted for Trump or who support Trump. Even in grade schools there are reports of students being targeted by teachers for having opposing views on political issues and even religious belief. The Left associates all Conservative views into one lump sum of people to hate or alienate. If you don’t think like them, they alienate you. If you have an individual thought, you are considered a radical.

The Left claims to be the champion of the minorities when in fact, they are discriminating against the majority for minority rule. Narrow-minded at best. Let’s say the Left takes over. They want one world government, equal pay so no one will get big money because there isn’t enough for everyone to be paid well and we all end up in low paying jobs and those in charge are still being paid a wealth living. Nothing equal about that. If we are all taught to think one way, how are innovations ever going to occur if was are taught one way and told to think only one way? In effect, the schools teach the children only what the leaders want them to know and nothing more, to control them. If anyone thinks outside the box and can’t be controlled, they are sent away.

Society without free thought and free-will becomes stagnated and eventually when a true problem arises and no one can figure out how to solve the problem, that is when civilization dies and the Law of Nature takes over (survival of the fittest). So much for progressivism.

Consent of the Governed

John Locke was an amazing man. His ideology of government was a main source of reference for our Founding Fathers in their work to give birth to the United States of America. If You get the opportunity to read his works, I suggest a large up-to-date dictionary and a big package of notebook paper. I have gone through more paper taking notes, reading his First and Second Treaties of Government than I care to talk about.

When Locke wrote his Treaties, during the 17th century but his work has influenced politics ever since, in my opinion. The biggest take-away from the Second Treaties is that for a society to even be formed it must get the CONSENT of the INDIVIDUAL to even exist. To go further, a government must have the CONSENT of the PEOPLE to even form, much less set up rules of law. With that being said, we should look at what the Progressive movement looks at and how it goes totally against the Consent of the People and Consent of the Individual.

The Progressive Movement started back in the 1800’s and it proposed that society was more important than the individual, totally opposite of what the Founding Fathers proposed in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Their idea that government could cure any societal issues and that society outweighed that individual, thus saying that the Law of Nature was not as important as society, in other words, the individual as a person was not as important as the whole. Kind of idiotic in my opinion but the Progressives have pushed their agenda from that time until present, pushing for laws to be made to protect certain groups over all others and basically arguing that “All MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL” is not what the Founding Fathers was meaning. Making claims that certain minorities were excluded from that, which in reality, it was Societal NORMS of the time that prevented those equalities. Moving forward, now the minority groups who have gotten their ‘rights’ actually are given something they already had but the norms prevented them from having in the past. Silly idiots, they couldn’t see the forest for the trees.

With the Progressives pushing their wild agendas with the Green Movement, One World Order and other silliness, they have forgotten that for ANY of this to occur the CONSENT of the PEOPLE for a government CAN BE REMOVED, thus nullifying the whole thing. In other words, The PEOPLE can say we have had enough of the monkey shine and declare the government null and void, returning us all to the LAW OF NATURE (very man for themselves) in which most of those Progressives would not survive as they depend upon the government in a way that leaves them helpless, weak and ignorant of what the REAL WORLD is and how cruel it can be.

It is said that a country boy and girl will survive, perhaps it is time to remove the consent for society and government for a while, then after a while, those of us who remain can come together and reform what out Founding Fathers created.

Change in the Wind

There is a change in the wind my friends, it is coming and the Left has no clue.

We the People are angry and we know exactly what to do.

We turn off the Lame stream media and go to those who speak the truth.

News that is news, that tells it like it is and We the People can decide what to do.

There is a change in the wind my friends, the giant has awoken within,

We will stand up for what is true, and do what we can to win.

No more listening to opinions instead of news, we are smart enough to decide.

It is my hope and my prayer that the mainstream media will die.

There’s a change in the Wind a coming, we must return to our roots,

We need to study our founding Father’s true meanings so sound choices we can choose.

Monopoly News Media

It is very clear, that the news media has changed from just reporting to giving opinions, in the last 25 years. It was a slow but constant step into becoming a propaganda machine, much like you would see in a communist or socialist country. Why is that? If you look deep enough, you will find deep pockets of people like George Soros, Barrack Obama, Hillary & Bill Clinton and many other prominent politicians and people who want to see the rise of the New World Order. If you pound the people with misinformation long enough, they will believe it. Just another clip from George Orwell’s 1984 book and Saul Alinsky’s, Rules for Radicals.

Sadly, there are older folks and the young who believe anything and everything coming from the television. The older folks who are Democrats still believe the party is the same as their parent’s old party and refuse to open their minds to Truth. The younger ones have little experience in what socialism or communism is. They believe the “together as one” is better. Sadly they are children with no real minds as they have been de-humanized as computer/cellphone/ videogame robots. They have been pampered and allowed to be lazy their whole lives and not have any true responsibilities because “everyone should get an award for participation” and haven’t learned that life isn’t fair. So, when they reach adulthood they throw temper tantrums like toddlers, much to the news media’s joy.

While there are different news sources that do not fall into line with the lame stream, mainstream media, they are constantly being attacked and often silenced on social media and threatened or even killed (Alex Jones & Breitbart are good examples). Are these small news venues that big of a threat to the lamestream media? They seem to think so.

Most of the news media is owned by huge conglomerates, too huge for their own good and should be considered monopolies. There is a law against monopolies in the United States, so why aren’t the People raising heck and demanding these monopolies be busted up like they did Bell Telephone? It is time that WE THE PEOPLE speak up and demand these monopolies be broken up.

And that is my two cents worth today.

The Educated Cowpuncher

You Haven’t Censored Me1

For those who follow me on Facebook, at least on my personal page, you will notice that I’ve stopped posting much of anything. That is because I have moved to Parler and MeWe. I am tired of censoring of my material plus those of my friends material. Thus we migrated to platforms that allow us to post without censorship.

As long as my God-given rights to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness are protected by the Constitution of the United States, I will continue to voice my opinions and my disgust for what the Left is doing to our great country. The time has come for the American Patriot to stand up and fight back when it comes to censorship and we need to take back our country from career politicians who are bilking the system for all its worth. It is time for accountability from those making millions as a politician.

My dream is for career politicians to be a shameful thing. Two terms at each level is enough. Two terms of state representation and two terms at the federal level. Then anything after that is considered a money hungry low-life. You have a civic duty to serve your country in some capacity, but once it becomes a career, that is beyond duty.

God save our great United States of America!

My Prayer for 2020 Presidential Election

Dear Heavenly Father,

I first want to thank and praise you for allowing me to be born in the United States of America, which the Founding Fathers so wisely set up the Constitution to protect those rights that only you can five. I praise you for giving those men the foresight to protect us against tyranny and give us a means to protect ourselves against said tyranny, that we are now seeing happen across this country.

This 2020 election brings into play those very dangerous that our Founding Fathers were fearful of and it is a very real potential for us to lose those Rights of Religious worship, speech, to peacefully gather and to fight back to protect those rights.

I come to you asking on my behalf and those like-minded Patriots, for YOUR HELP during this dangerous time. Protect our Nation as a Whole, Protect President Donald J. Trump and his family. Protect us and the President, who you brought to us as a leader, who has worked tirelessly to protect our rights, our freedoms and our country from others. He has declared us a Nation Under God and has fought to clean the swamp that is the devil’s swimming pool.

Help us Lord! Protect us from the evil that wishes to destroy your People, and everything that You hold precious and sacred, the things that we hold sacred and precious.

In Jesus’ Precious Name,

Amen! Amen! Amen!

Will the Left Steal Your Vote?

I’ve seen so many irregularities in the ballot by mail process that this cowpuncher has come to the conclusion that the best way to ensure your vote is properly counted is to VOTE IN PERSON! If you get a ballot in the mail, fill it out and carry it into the polling place. If you vote by machine, MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE IS CORRECTLY ENTERED and tell the people at the polling site that you are having trouble if you can’t seem to get the ballot marked correctly.

Why do I say what I do? Because Nancy Pelosi has stated that she could be President if the votes aren’t all counted by January. Because the LEFT has been caught registering DEAD people. Because the machines that record your selections come from a company owned by George Soros. These are just a few ways they can steal your vote.

Already mail in ballots are being tossed in the trash. There is a designation on the ballot that makes it clear if you are a registered Republican or DemocRAT. Yes, these are times in which we should trust no one except GOD!

I plan on voting on November 3, 2020, going into the polling place in town, which happens to be the Senior Center of our town. Will hand them my drivers license to verify who I am and then I will make my selections.

The outcome of the election is vital. We in the United States of America will vote for or against our Constitution. We have a candidate that is a puppet and will quickly be taken out by his party and deemed incompetent, so the Socialist/communist/One World Order party can destroy what our Founding Fathers built. The other candidate, is the only thing standing between our Constitutional Rights, Freedoms and Way of life and the Socialist/Communist/One World Order.

Let me tell you, Socialism taxes everything from your home, shoes, furniture and your farts. Believe me when I say, it is not a good life under socialism, just look a Argentina, a once vibrant and prosperous country that is now said to have only 3 weeks worth of gasoline left. The inflation is so high and food is so scarce that people are starving. Only the elite are able to eat well. And AOC thinks white privilege is bad in the USA. The elite privilege in Argentina is far worse.

Get out and vote!
