KS SB 300 & 308 Raw Milk Legislation.

Okay this is an issue that needs action! Kansas Senate Bill 300 repeals the ability for dairy farmers to sell RAW MILK off the farm. This bill is in place to set up Senate Bill 308 which requires all raw milk that is sold, to be labelled. In other words, you would now be able to sell raw milk off the farm as long as it has a label that states the following: “This product contains ungraded raw milk that is not pasteurized and, as a result, may contain organisms that cause food-borne illness, especially in infants, young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with weak immune systems.”

For years, I have, and other friends have bought raw milk from dairies. We usually take our own containers and fill them up at the dairy. We have known the risks and we accept those risks, WHY do we have to have that milk labelled? Will we have to resort to having our dairy farmer put a label on our container each time we fill up at the farm? How silly is this?

People who buy raw milk and raw milk products from our local dairy farmer know the risks and dangers of consuming raw milk. We aren’t stupid, in fact, we are probably more educated than most on the risks. Is it necessary to put our dairy farmer up to spending more money to have labels printed off to put on milk containers?

Don’t be surprised when you find out who actually requested this legislation; Kansas Dairy Association!!! I am sure they had their reasons as SB 308 allows dairy farmers to advertise, where they haven’t been able to advertise with the current legislation. However, somethings aren’t always simple. There are people in the Kansas Dairy Association (KDA) who are also on the board of the DFA (Dairy Farmers of America cooperative) which is where most Kansas dairies sell their raw milk. The DFA has paid Kansas farmers low milk prices and as a result, some farmers are selling raw milk and making more money selling direct to consumers. Could it be that those KDA members that are on the board at DFA be introducing this legislation to stop the little guy from selling raw milk off the farm to the customer? Makes you wonder.

I have a friend who is a dairy farmer. The farmer and makes about $21 for ever 100 pounds of milk (milk is sold by pound not by gallon due to the butter fat content) and in addition, has started making some exotic cheeses and raw milk yogurt (Yummy!). By selling the products they make, they are getting $178 per 100 pounds of milk, which really helps out the farm and could be very profitable. Let’s just say that the raw milk products are helping keep the farm solvent. The dairy is working on products right now, to figure out what will sell best. They know that they will have to have a nutritional label for the products and will have to pay for testing, so they can get the nutritional information. To add the warning to each product would require a huge label and will cost much more for the label. So where is the common sense in all of this?

ONE: The raw milk customer knows the risks of drinking raw milk and also know the benefits.

TWO: Requiring labels on raw milk would mean customers would no longer be able to bring their own containers. Which means the dairy has to buy containers (more expense)

THREE: Most dairy farms don’t have to advertise their raw milk as their milk is sought out by those who want raw milk and they are aware of dangers of drinking it.

Four: The Right to Farm is being limited.

Five: Big Corporate intrusion on limiting farmers sale of product.

The hearing in Topeka Kansas on SB 300 will be February 12th. The hearing on SB 308 will be on February 13th. IF you want to voice your opinion on this, you must sign up to testify and provide the Committee Assistant with your written testimony at least one day prior to hearing and you need to have TWENTY copies of your testimony to share with those in the hearing. To get on the agenda, you must contact Judy Marks at 785-296-7353 to get the time and room number of the hearing. I probably will be going. Want to join me?

Why Add Equal Rights Amendment?

It is a little concerning that people want to add an Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution when the 14th Amendment states in Section 1: “All persons born or naturalized int eh United States, and subject to the jurisdiction therof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

The State of Virginia has, as of late, been acting in a very tyrannical manner and it is becoming a concern for all states when a single state acts out and violates basic Constitutional laws, such as they are doing with enacting Un-Constitutional gun measures without the consent of their own constituents. In addition to violating the People’s Second Amendment Rights there is a movement to violate their First Amendment to silence anyone who disagrees with their legislature. Now comes the move on the Equal Rights Amendment.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/three-democratic-attorneys-general-file-suit-to-force-the-u-s-to-ratify-equal-rights-amendment

Why ADD another amendment when equality is already given? There is no logic in doing so, unless the alternate amendment give certain rights to groups of people and there is where we have an Un-Constitutional amendment. Giving rights to certain groups as we have done with illegal aliens (yes I dare use that term), groups with sexual letters (LGBTQ) and women, only alienate the other groups not mentioned, such as socio-economic groups, religious groups, scientific groups etc.

The argument for equal rights was a women’s movement and at the time, society was putting limits on women not the Constitution! Societal norms change over the centuries and our Founding Fathers found that stating “All men are created equal” in this manner, they according to the equal rights groups were saying that MEN, not women were equal. Well as they wrote the Declaration of Independence & Constitution, their society meant sexual men. HOWEVER, that would include men of color and every creed, not just white Europeans. We humans are often referred to as “man or mankind” therefore, isn’t it logical to use the terms mankind in place of “men or man” and still have the same meaning? Of course it is, therefore, there is no need for an amendment to make female mankind equal as it has already been given. Heck, even in the Bible times, where society was a man focused society, there were women who stood out in history as leaders and in Proverbs 31, the ideal wife is described as a productive and resourceful woman, in other words, the ideal wife is an entrepreneur (which indicates a wife who is a businesswoman).

So, for all you feminists out there, you have really missed the boat on equality. Society has changed and there is no need for an amendment on equality, it is already there, you just can’t see it for all the hatred in your hearts for men. If you want equality, then prove your worth, be outstanding in what you do as a person, not as a screaming vagina.

Emperor’s New Clothes Theory

Well, the trial of President Trump has gone into the question stage of the procedures and even with the questions being asked, you will see Adam Schiff become more unhinged. It was obviously clear in the first two hours of the Defense teams opening statements that they are going to play hard ball with the “proof” that Trump committed Impeachable offenses. Just like a child caught in a lie, they will continue to repeat the same lines over an over, hoping to make a false narrative true. They will continue to repeat these twisted lines until they believe them beyond a shadow of a doubt in hopes that they can win others over to their “truth”. It is almost a crazy as the Emperor’s New Clothes fairy tale, which for lack of better terms, let’s call the Democrat’s phony Impeachment plan the “Emperor’s New Clothes Theory”

The Emperor’s New Clothes Theory (ENCT) works like this; false and twisted information is made up and then the professors (who are all politically motivated towards the Left) come in, state that what the President has done is wrong, so that it is explained by Academics in Constitutional Law. The main problem with using professors of Constitutional Law in this case, you cannot in reality, have a Constitutional professor who is left leaning, if they are true scholars of the Constitution, it just doesn’t work. Oh sure, they claim to know the Constitution’s ins and outs but in reality, they have just learned to spew their version of the Constitution. Still, the Left uses these professors to confirm ‘facts’ they are wanting to Impeach with. This is like writing a research project thesis before you actually do the research, which means it isn’t research but your own conclusions.

When you look at what President Trump has done with the Ukrainian, he only asked if the Ukrainian President could check on some facts. There is nothing illegal about checking facts. The only problem with these facts are, Trump is getting too close to a cash cow that the Left has been using to launder taxpayer money into their pockets. I have no doubt that this has been going on for decades and now that we have the tip of the iceberg showing, it is prudent to find out the depth and span of the situation. Remember, President Trump promised to drain the swamp and he is starting with the Ukraine and he is dealing with China too. John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and even the Clinton’s have had their hands in the cookie jar long enough and if you look further, you can say that they are getting paid to do this by George Soros. Remember, Soros recently stated the the future of the whole world depends upon the results of the 2020 Presidential election.

In the long and short run, it is best that We The People don’t buy into the the ENCT and sit back, watch the President’s defense team shred the house manager’s case. Even Alan Dershowitz, who voted for Hillary Clinton, sees the danger of what the House is doing and he has always voted Democrat. He is standing up for the Constitution and for the President’s rights to do his job. I don’t think Dershowitz will be welcomed anytime soon in Democrat circles if his lecture of what the Constitution really says is the nail in the coffin for the whole Impeachment. I have a much greater respect for Professor Dershowitz now than ever before.

The next question for this miscarriage of justice is the vote on the witnesses. The Democrats are treading on very fragile ground, wanting witnesses because if they allow witnesses, Trump’s team can call ANYONE to testify and that means Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, James Comey and many others who have tried to topple the President are going to be questioned and the whole deep state thing will really be exposed and heads will roll, including Democrats and Republicans in key positions. Perhaps a long drawn out trial will be this country’s saving grace as the rats will run out of the woodwork and the People can replace the long term members of the House and then the Senate is in danger as well. WE may come away with a much better Congress after the dirty dogs are run out.

Changes

The Educated Cowpuncher has become a .com blog! Yes, after using the free platform for years, we have decided to go with a paid page. We hope that we can keep up with posting on a more consistent basis, so bear with us as we move into the blogging world a tiny step at a time. I hope that the readers of this blog will let me know what you think and I appreciate any comments that are made, even if they are negative. There are a few rules for commenting though, please keep the language civil and name-calling is not going to be allowed. We don’t know where this is going to lead but let’s have fun with this and yes, speak our minds.

IF IT WERE ONLY TRUE

I read an article yesterday that was about Nancy “that San Francisco treat” Pelosi, who stated that if the Impeachment of President Trump failed, she would resign immediately. OH GLORY! If that were true, our prayers would be answered! Unfortunately, Pelosi has made statements before and then ignored them. It would be amazing if she did resign. Just think of it, who would be the next ranking Democrat to step up to be Speaker of the House?

We already know there is some restless Democrats in the House of Representatives. The push to the left has made some Democrats question Pelosi’s leadership. In fact, I don’t know very many people in my circles that haven’t questioned her mental capacities in the last 16 years. This woman has bantered around with incoherent sentences when asked tough questions. She often looks as if she is either on drugs or drunk off her hind end. Why hasn’t someone in the Democrat caucus done something? OR is there something more sinister happening?

Perhaps we need to look at things in a more worldly order. Let’s say that we bring George Soros into the picture. He was most recently quoted at the last world leader meeting in Davos as saying that the fate of the world will be decided with the 2020 US Presidential elections. Perhaps Mr. Soros is paying people to keep certain puppets in place. One can pretty much imagine that he may be the reason behind all this attack on

The most effective way to take all these career politicians out is to force through legislation to put term limits on everyone serving in Congress. Three terms in the House and two terms in the Senate may be the only way to take care of this debacle. The only way to force this though is Convention of States and that is gaining traction. We have to move quickly because the States are already working to derail the people with gun control (See the State of Virginia). They are attacking through federal and State to control us. Right now the best bet is to keep praying that the People will finally overcome this attack.

If Nancy does resign, it would be a great start. It is just a matter of time before the Impeachment trial is over. PRAY. If it were only true what Nancy said, we could expect a new Speaker of the House.

Indulge Me for a Bit

We have a Constitutional crisis going on in the State of Virginia and there are a couple other states that might follow Virginia if this situation isn’t stopped in Virginia. The State government was taken over by Democrats in the last election and they are pushing for some very radical gun control measures. All of these measures are of course Un- Constitutional and I hope that the Virginia Citizens Defense League has an absolute amazing turn-out to demonstrate about gun rights, even if the tiny number of extremists groups plan to hijack the event. What I want to really cover is the reasoning behind the Governor’s move to declare a State of Emergency and issue a gun ban on the event. Indulge me for a bit as I cover the situation and throw some ideas out that may or may not be logical.

Governor Northam said,”I took this action to protect Virginians from credible threats of violence. ” He added, “These threats are real– as evident by reports of neo-Nazi arrests this morning after discussing plans to head to Richmond with firearms.” Why does that neo-Nazi term always come up when good law-abiding gun owners plan to have a rally of some type? The fear that the Democrat/Socialist/Communists have is that the People will rise up and take down a tyrannical government that they want. In reality though, IF neo-Nazis do show up and try to off the people at the rally, wouldn’t it benefit the law-abiding citizens and all citizens if they did have their guns and fought back? Not according to the Democrats. Think about it, the good guys with guns will off the bad guys by purely having more numbers. But that isn’t the logic behind the gun ban. The gun ban is set up to ensure soft targets at the rally. By telling the world that this rally is suppose to be gun free and all law abiding people won’t have guns, to fight back so come on in and blow them away for us. That will give the Democrats more reason to ban guns for good, or so their logic goes.

Now let’s address the supposed neo-Nazis that were arrested and used as the reasons behind the gun ban. It appears that an ILLEGAL ALIEN from CANADA and a small group of people who are supposed white extremists, plan on attending the rally. This group is set on starting a white ethnostate but in reality, are probably too small of a group to even fart enough to stink up a room. The one guy they arrested is a problem and has lived in the United States since August 2019. He is in the country illegally and as they say, criminals will be able to get ahold of a gun by any means and he did, using parts and pieces he assembled a firearm. He was at one time a army reservist in Canada, who disappeared. So now we have what the left likes, a military man who deserted and living in the country illegally building an ‘assault rifle’. The media tries to link bad guy status to the rally of law abiding citizens with every chance they can. Wasn’t it Raham Emanuel or Eric “cup holder” Holder that said never let a good crisis go without taking advantage of it? And so they exploit and twist it to their Narrative. This too is happening in Virginia with this power hungry Governor.

The fear Governor Northham really has is that the PEOPLE will rise up (as is their Second Amendment Right and DUTY) and stop their gun control measures completely. The majority of the State of Virginia has declared themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries and that means they will defy any state law that declares gun control. My opinion is, they will pass gun control measures and there will be a re-call on all those elected to the state government who are pro-gun control. The other states such as Georgia and Missouri that are following Virginia’s lead will attempt to pull off their own gun control but it will all fall to the same fate. Unconstitutional laws will fail in the Supreme Court. The People will prevail, even if they have to march on the State Capital.

Let this be a warning to all States and all People who are true Americans who stand up for their Second Amendment Right (IT is a DUTY to do so!) The states that are watching Virginia may hesitate if Virginia falls to the Will of the People and it should be the first step in the People realizing we have to march out to fight tyranny at every level of government.

10 Anti-USMCA Senators

Well it is time to call out those Senators who are against President Trump’s U.S-Mexico-Canada Agreement (the new trade agreement that replaces NAFTA). While the original word out several months ago was that it was going to be problematic, by the lame-stream media and the anti-Trumpers, it has actually been beneficial and while you can’t always get what you want, there has to be some give and take. With that being said, let’s look at the numbers of who voted for and who voted against this trade agreement, which is one of the most favorable for the United States in decades. The Senate voted 89-10 and of course, Nancy “that San Francisco treat” Pelosi is making claims that her fellow Democrats are responsible for the whole thing, which is not a truthful statement but we are talking Senate, not the House (which passed the measure in December), so let’s pull back and see who voted against a very Pro-U.S.A trade agreement.

Those who voted against this agreement are the usual Democrat Senators, Minority Leader Chuck “Chuckie” Schumer of New York, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Cory “I am delusional” Booker of New Jersy, and Kamala “I am better than you” Harris of Califonication. The lesser knowns or more quite voics are Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, and Brian Schatz of Hawaii. The two outsiders outside of the Democrat party include a Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and our Communist parading around as a Democrat or Independent Bernie “I’m a lazy bum” Sanders.

Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania argues, “We have a trade deficit with Mexico.” and he continues, “Every credible and reputable economist I know thinks that doesn’t matter a bit in terms of measuring economic health But that ‘s not the view of the administration. I believe that they set out to renegotiate NAFTA for the purpose of diminishing trade with Mexico.” Why should we care about diminishing trade with Mexico? The Clinton era NAFTA was a bust and hurt American jobs. USMCA requires 75% of automobile parts be manufactured in the US, Canada & Mexico, to avoid tariffs and 40-45% of those parts be made by workers who earn at least $16/hour by 2023. Sounds like to me, Mexico can’t screw us over by paying low wages to outbid the other guy in car parts. Yet Toomey can’t see the benefits of this deal.

Old “I’m a bum” Bernie Sanders is not going to be for anything that doesn’t steal at least half the wages from the workers to fund his communistic ideologies. The rest of the group is just anti-Trump and have an ax to grind against Trump. The truth is, these are the people who hate Trump so much that they don’t want to see him succeed because he is not a career politician, which in most cases means they have no real world experiences and haven’t a clue how the economy really works. Perhaps they need a refresher course in Economics 101. Or in Bernie’s case, he needs to have an open mind to a Capitalist economy that helps the majority, not the minority. If you want to argue that point, think about this: A communistic economy means no one wins but the top dogs. At least a Capitalist economy gives everyone a chance to make money and if they aren’t making enough to get by, they have the opportunity to change their situation, whereas communism doesn’t give you much of anything.

At any rate, in spite of the votes, Trump’s economy is thriving. In spite of the naysayers, we have a lot more growth, the lowest unemployment rate since I was three-years old (1969) and we are getting trade agreements that are more in our favor and not in the other guy’s favor. Just look at the agreement with China. It is going to benefit the agricultural community a lot more than expected. Just give him time, Trump can get it done.

The Hypocrisy Never Ends

The Left is so full of Hypocrisy it is almost thick as cow poo. It is absolutely astounding and really, I shouldn’t be astounded by anything the Left and Democratic Communists are doing to attempt to usurp the 2016 Presidential Election. From day one, they intended on Impeaching President Trump because they were sore losers and big babies. They cannot stand the man achieving what he has achieved in THREE years when most of those loony loops have been in Congress for over fifteen years. But the biggest fraud they have accomplished is to attempt to make the every day duties of the President, criminal. When Barack Obummer issued a record number of executive orders, they did nothing. When Obummer shipped billions of dollars on pallets to Iran, they did nothing. They have done every thing possible to stifle President Trump but their failure makes him look even better. He has become the champion of the every day citizen.

Nancy “that San Francisco treat” Pelosi said that the signing of the Impeachment Articles was a very somber occasion yet she had the audacity to have special ink pens to sign the Articles. In fact, it is said that she paid over $5,000 for those pens! AND I can tell you now it wasn’t her own money that paid for them. THEN after she signed the Articles, she made a big deal of handing them out to the crew who wants to kick Trump out of office. Even Maxine Waters, (whom I did defend earlier this month when the Squad disrespected her while she was speaking) held he pen up in the air as if it were some prize to have. Sure, that pen made ONE letter of Pelosi’s name as she used a different pen for each letter of her name. What a treasure! NOT NOT NOT! What a waste of taxpayer dollars. These people parade around as if they have the President on some type of criminal acts and the best they can come up with is that he spoke with the Ukrainian President and asked for a favor to look into criminal behavior. I think that the President has every right in his Executive position to ask another leader if he could find out some information. Yet the left says the President can’t do that.

I look forward to the Trial in the Senate and I hope that President Trump gets to call as many witnesses as he wants. This could get very interesting folks and when it is all said and done, President Trump will still be in the White House fighting for US against the swamp. AND from the latest information I am getting, the house of cards is getting decked. James Comey is likely to come up on an indictment very soon. Those who sought to destroy President Trump and WE the PEOPLE are soon to find out that hypocrisy is nothing to laugh about and laughing after signing Articles of Impeachment, then talking about how somber the signing of the articles were, is not sitting well with the PEOPLE.

Hey Nancy, we are going to take that $5K out of your next paycheck.

Lessons on the Declaration of Independence

The following is an excerpt of the Declaration of Independence:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all me are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.- That to secure these rights. Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of theses ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

What does this mean? It means that when Governments become tyrannical or attempt to to usurp the People, it is the responsibility of the PEOPLE to stop the government by removing their consent of said government and replacing it with one that will ensure the safety of the PEOPLE. In other words, it is OUR RESPONSIBILITY to to hold the Government accountable for their actions and if they step out of line, it is OUR RESPONSIBILITY to remove consent for that government and replace it with a government that WILL ensure our Freedoms & Rights.

Think about this and act upon what you know and learn.

Dear Madam Speaker

Dear Madam Speaker,

I have been following the outrageous Impeachment proceedings that you and your partisan House of Representatives have forced upon the citizens of the United States of America. I am extremely disgusted with your total disregard for the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. I will go so far as to say that you have done exactly what the Founding Fathers sought to avoid by setting up the foundations of this great country in a way that a person is innocent until proven guilty. You have not given the President a fair and impartial hearing in the House of Representatives because you have an agenda to derail the American People. Whether or not you like President Trump, he IS the People’s President and there is nothing you can do, say or attempt that will change the way the People feel about him. He has done more in less than two years to better our country’s economy than you and your cast have in forty years. Your under the table dealings, selling the country out to other countries, giving tax dollars to terrorists and laundering money to countries and getting pay backs through your children are no longer hidden and the whole lot of you career politicians both Democrats and Republicans will be exposed.

Your party has in fact been pushing for Impeachment since your sorry party lost the 2016 election to a person who was not a career politician. I couldn’t help but laugh when he won, as our Founding Fathers intended on everyday people like myself, to serve our country as President, Representatives and Senators, not career politicians like yourself. Your fears that the People will find out about the Bursima deals with Hunter Biden and also your own son are already exposed. We know the your toy boy, Barack Obama sent money to Iran, to fund their attacks on our interests. We know that you have made millions while in office and you have illegally benefited financially through insider information and your time is up. You can no longer hide the truth as it will come out through other channels and you have essentially killed the Democrat party. It is no longer the Democrat Party, it is the Democratic Communist Party, so far left that it stinks to high heaven.

Our Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence to air their grievances to the King in Britain but it also stands as true today as in 1776. WE the People have our God given Rights to consent to a government and we too have that right to remove our consent to a government that is acting in tyrannical ways. Your party, is seeking to overthrow the Executive Branch of the Government and We the People will not stand for this to happen. We have sat back and watch to what extent you will push a narrative of false charges against the People’s President and we understand that it just isn’t the President you are attacking, you are attacking The People as well. Therefore, heed this warning, you who push for Impeachment and the removal of The President will find that the PEOPLE will bite back with a deadly bite. You have already committed political suicide as a political party, now watch as you lose numbers in your majority and become a minority once more. In fact, I would wager that it will be a very long time before we have another Democrat in the White House. It may come down to never again, if you continue this outlandish rape of the Constitution and coup of the country.

Believe me, when I say that any continued attack on the President of the United States of America may result in a swift response by the People. After all, we the People still have control, and our consent to a government can quickly be removed. That is our Constitutional Rights and a tyrannical government is what gave birth to this country and a re-birth can be quickly accomplished. Remember that elections are coming soon and the way your candidates are dropping out like flies, you may want to think things over. Even a surprise candidate like Killary Clinton or Michelle Obama will never be able to win a legal election after what we know. There is no way legally one of your party members could win an election in 2020, so your game is up. Stop now and lessen the severity of the situation and learn to eat crow. You shoved it down our throats when Obama was in office, it is our turn to lead now. You will notice that I didn’t say we were going to cram it down your throats. We are better than that.
