Retired in God's country!

Another Devastating Protest?

This isn’t the usual garden-variety liberal whining; it’s an outright call to arms, a tired but dangerous maneuver pulled straight from the left’s playbook to incite chaos whenever it’s knocked out of power. The Democratic Party’s poll numbers have plummeted to historic lows, and now it’s scrambling for any message that can ignite its radicalized base. The strategy couldn’t be more obvious; when desperation sets in, Democrats fall back on the only tactic they know — fueling social unrest, just like they did during the 2020 BLM riots.

Exactly, how many calls do they need to go out? There have been at least a half dozen declared days of “mass protests”, boycotts and targeted shutdown declared already. They’ve all passed with little notice or impact, other than the dozen or so idiots chanting outside of Walmart.

Then there are calls for a General Strike. That effort (started with the repeal of Roe v. Wade in 2022) requires over 10 million signees before they launch their devastating attack to cripple the administration. To date, they’ve gathered a total of about 324k. The problem is, they need about 250k each month to reach their goal before this administration has completed its term. At the rate they are now building support (9k/mo), they’ll finally reach that goal in 1150 years!

I’d call them petulant children, except that would be an insult to petulant children everywhere. Once again, I’ll say that the evil orange man should simply declare support for oxygen, and all this nonsense would end as they try to hold their breath until they get their way.


So Proud

At our driveway entrance, I utilized a Minnesota license plate to make our address marker, with “Minnesota” and “Land of 10,000 Lakes” still visible. It might be time to replace that marker.

The ruling class appears to be completely in charge. Unashamed, unrepentant, (obviously) unaware of their hypocrisy, and now rubbing everyone’s faces in their blatant 2 tiered idea of “justice”.

  • They support kidnappers, rapists, murderers and arsonists, yet call us fascists.
  • They support people who terrorize certain stores and people who pray, yet call us fascists.
  • They don’t even know how to define a woman, and call us stupid.
  • They have an arsonist who knew exactly what harm his actions would cause- terrorizing owners of certain cars, yet they call us domestic terrorists for attending school meetings to protect our children.
  • They terrorize Jewish college kids on campuses across the country and yet call US bigots and racists.
  • They silence and jail their opponents, insert the government in all aspects of our lives, and yet call us fascists.

The saving grace here is that there is a thing in legal circles known as the “dual sovereignty doctrine”, which considers State and Federal governments as separate entities with the authority to prosecute the same crime—presupposing they both have existing statutes that cover said activity. The Double Jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment only prohibits a person from being tried twice by the same sovereign, for the same offense. This principle was upheld by a 7-2 SCOTUS decision in Gamble v. United States (2019).

So while it may be (D)ifferent in Minnesota, a (F)ederal Prosecutor can give him a big (F)U. You can be certain that Pam Bondi’s phone is ringing incessantly about now.

Media? Dwight is Right!

Another in long history of absolute lack of self awareness.

Ruhle: “We need to cover the Democrats finding their lane and report what this administration is doing.” Soooo… you’re just shilling for one party? Okay.

On The Job Training

Today was the annual springtime plumbing day. With an extensive above ground PVC plumbing network, periodic repairs are a necessity. This encompasses addressing freezing issues as well as upgrading for better functionality. Most of todays effort was to replace the line at the eastern edge of the garden. That line also feeds the southern edge and a simple garden hose has been temporarily bridging that gap since the previous piping froze and split.

Being the pack rat that I am, I utilized the pvc piping that I attempted to cover the pool with this past winter. That effort failed miserably so was glad to repurpose that piping where I know it will make things easier.

Luckily, I had many apprentices assisting me today.

Any time I bring the work cart into their run the chicks get excited and swarm all over everything I am doing out there. It gets to the point that there are so many clustered around, when it is time to leave I need to crouch down and make sure I won’t drive over any hiding underneath. They also like to stowaway in a cubby under the work deck in back and I’ve driven back to the garage to find them hiding under there.

Anyway, from our single outside water faucet located just off the back porch, I’ve expanded water access to reach all the essential areas of our operations with 27 faucet/access points distributed where needed.

Facilitating Authoritarianism

Yes, CLEARLY. By being elected by a majority, and facilitating the exact ideas he campaigned on, while being continually accused of implementing a dictatorship and ending democracy, he is “facilitating authoritarianism”.

Weren’t we supposed to be under martial law today?

Meanwhile, those complaining today, who still cannot comprehend that they lost, and that the current administration is doing exactly what they were elected to do, gave us these nuggets while they were in power:

  • Wear masks.
  • Stand 6′ apart.
  • Closed churches, stores, clubs, bars, restaurants – but strip clubs could stay open.
  • Shut down schools, sports, playgrounds – depriving a generation of youth of any sort of normalcy.
  • Forced the populace to take an unproven vaccine that did more harm than good.
  • And even today, every policy they try that blows up in their faces, they immediately pivot and blame those repercussions on those dastardly MAGA folks – almost like none of them have mirrors.

Abrego Garcia – All Used Up

With all of the recent kerfuffle about the deported illegal MS-13 “Baltimore Dad” now blowing up in their faces, of course this would be their response. “IT WAS ALL TRUMPS FAULT!!!”

she is realizing that these optics for the Democrats are very, very bad. And now she’s trying to blame Donald Trump and the Republicans for keeping it in the news instead of the democrats. More deflection, more lies, more gaslighting. What else do we expect??

GASLIT: The Filling Station

With the gaslighting ramped up to 11 now, it’s difficult to stay abreast of all of the BS flowing freely on a now daily basis. This was the avenue to document it previously. But the gas flows so freely and often, I decided to give it its own category and this will simply be the initial post of many to come.

Now down to the final couple of hours and the lights are still on so that’s a good sign. They may still try to “take him out”, as some are speculating but I believe most have awakened, and any attempt at this point would only only provoke widespread unrest that would cripple everything nationwide and would actually be the threat to democracy that they so often projected and warned us about.

Of course, they don’t care so let’s pray we get through this.

The final hour blanket “get out of jail” cards being issued to all the bad actors are disconcerting, but in the end, they really matter not. Those folks will STILL face severe consequences and I look forward to them admitting their roles.

However, the gaslighting about their actions has almost petered out.

They kept trying but no one was buying.

About all that needs to occur to begin healing as a nation is for the rest to acknowledge the reality of the past several years.

It proves it can be done. So, when you STILL have those failed arguments thrown at you at this point, you’ll know that whoever is spewing them is beyond hope and not really worth your time trying to reason with them.

Only a few more days to go.

In his farewell address yesterday, Biden continued his delusion that his administration was one of the most successful presidencies ever, but nearly every point he raised in the speech had already been thoroughly debunked or exposed as misinformation. The jobs/crime reports were again cited after being repeatedly exposed every month when the initially underreported data was later always quietly corrected a few months later.

This administration is terrified that a Trump/Bondi DOJ might behave precisely like the Biden/Garland goon squad has. There were repeated assertions that the DOJ has been free from political partisanship for the past four years. These people don’t need staffers and interns, they need fulltime supervision by mental healthcare professionals.”

And this is why we will NEVER see Biden make any public appearance. Can you imagine his reception at a major sporting event like his opponent has received every time he’s made an appearance? Throughout the campaign, he only appeared when every aspect of the appearance (include the reception) could be 100% controlled with numerous paid activists bussed around the country to swell his numbers – and that didn’t even work with tiny events held in sparse HS gyms with all of the actors shoved together into a corner for the right full-crowd shot. No one was fooled then and no one is fooled now.

Hopefully, that address was the last thing we will ever have to hear from him. I’d personally prefer HE face justice, but will settle for him leaving office in complete disgrace and totally irrelevant from here on. Having HIM realize that would be icing on the cake, but that’s likely a bridge too far for someone who is likely heading directly to a memory care senior center setting.

Happy New Year!!!!
As I shared here back in October leading up to the election, the need for this thread has pretty much been vaporized. As expected, they tried all of their tricks, threats and projections to sway the voters and they were widely rejected.

To explain how we finally arrived back in reality, this post by Victor Davis Hanson lays it out pretty clearly. If you might still be confused on how we arrived here, I’d recommend a review:

The truth now is set free, and it smothers the old lying denials about the origins of COVID, about the truth of diversity/equity/inclusion, about the naked greed of the Biden family syndicate, about the dementia of Joe, about the chauvinism of three sexes, and about the joy and momentum of the fracking, gun-toting, MacDonald’s veteran and border hawk Kamala Harris.

No one fears or listens to the now defenestrated frauds and tiring dissimulators: the Bidens, a Fauci, Mayorkas, Garland, Milley, Austin, Jean-Pierre, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, or McCabe—and their old lies that Hunter is brilliant, Biden is fit as a field, no gain-in-function viruses, a bat caused COVID, the border is secure, Chinese army generals are more trustworthy than Trump, the laptop was Russian, Trump is a Putin puppet, and always their nauseating “I can’t recall”, “ I don’t remember”,  “I have no recollection”, and “I am not at liberty to say”.

11/1/2024
Silly me. Here I thought their ship was sunk and they’d start reporting the truth, in fear of being imprisoned since we are all Nazi’s, you know. But, it’s been hit after hit all week long. What’s truly amazing is that I’ve been saying for months that each time they try these stunts, they only manage to increase Trumps lead. But, just like clockwork, they keep doubling down on stupid and just hand the election over to their opponent.

We’ll start off with the Rogan/Vance discussion. I won’t call it an interview because they never are. Instead, we get a frank dialog on a number of subjects – some good, some bad, but clearly superior to getting the days talking points recited to you in a salad bowl. It’s a far better way to really get to know the candidate. It’s too bad for Kamala they never figured that out.

Anyway, if you remember my post about the media back in February, that was when they started to warn us to not trust our own eyes and ears but instead allow THEM to tell us what we saw and heard. Apparently, they haven’t learned anything either as they are still at it.

Moving on, we got multiple rapid-fire examples of their delusion. And with each case, Trumps lead increased. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I’ll plagiarize myself and reuse a post I made to a news site earlier to summarize it all.

Leftists completely lack any comprehension skills and the only way to make a point is to misquote or outright lie. This “violent rhetoric” wailing can be filed under the same as the “Bloodbath”, “never vote again”, “garbage can” or the recent “women – like it or not” comments. Once the whole statement (beyond The View, Kimmel or Maddow version) is revealed , their argument crashes and only serves to improves his lead.

“Inject bleach”
“Suckers and losers”
“Bloodbath”
“The last time you’ll ever need to vote”
Project2025
Nazi’s in the boat parade
protecting women, like it or not (from what we wonder?)
executing Liz Cheney (this would be the 1st execution where the victim is also armed)
[this list is endless]

Also, add the recent “Garbage-Gate”, started by a comedian referencing PRs documented issue dealing with garbage. So he was talking about the island – not the people. Either way, Biden then came out and specifically called Trump supporters garbage – which of course they deny now, despite the video that refuses to die thanks to Trumps brilliant garbage truck idea. And their fallback is to reference Trumps “America is a garbage can” speech where he said we were becoming the worlds dumping ground for criminals, but of course they leave that part out.

Every time they try, they are easily exposed (to those who have opened their eyes), and then always revert back to their Nazi claims with fears of what he WILL do – without offering a shred of evidence.

10/26/2024
I am pretty sure I can let this thread die now. They have tried so hard to sway opinion with their BS and each and every attempt has only resulted in widening their opponents lead. No matter what they throw against the wall, nothing sticks. The result is this thread is no longer needed. Fine job people!

Glad to see MSMs admission that they slant all of their coverage to assist the “selected candidate” by making their viewers dumber is paying dividends. When they can blatantly put this out and their idiots faithfully repeat it. It’s disgusting!

The media is so “bought”. We all knew it but to those who still swallow their BS, I wonder how this admission settles with them.
“They’ve made their viewers dumber over the years”

From what I’ve seen, I certainly wouldn’t disagree.

Ever since Elon Musk got involved, suddenly, the Democrats lost control of the social media platform which had become a primary driver of news. The poor dears haven’t been taking it well at all. Because they rely so much on false narratives and the suppression of information, the Democrats freak right out if they lose even the tiniest bit of control. Hence, the dumbing down of content that the TDS-induced faithfully gulp down as fast as they can spit it out.

Is the urge to shut down and shut up all opposition just a sort of gag issue for the Left, or are they particularly hysterical this time around because the Kamala memes are proving effective at defining the candidate who refuses to define herself?

““The Biden administration’s strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago.”

This was released TODAY – as Israel is currently getting pummeled by Iranian missiles in an ever increasing conflict that is escalating out of control.

There are numerous examples of this daily, but I realize most of the MSM covers it up so the ignorant among us remain unaware.

Just one of many points from the debate:

It’s very convenient for them to be the ones providing the misinformation, while also clamping down and censoring anything THEY deem to be misinformation – simply because it is inconvenient or contradicts their cause.

As all of commenters are reminding them, there was never a debate scheduled for Trump and Harris on ABC. That scheduled debate was for Trump and Biden. Of course now, they can frame it as Trump chickening out.

Actually, I wonder if this was a set up. The DEI selected candidate was never going to follow through as was scheduled with Biden anyway. Now that Trump proposed an alternative, they of course use it to state that he is chickening out. Imagine their frenzy if he says, “OK, you won’t renegotiate which is entirely expected being you aren’t who I agreed to debate… But OK, let’s go with it. See you on ABC as scheduled”. She is such an idiot, I imagine Trump would have no problem dissecting her – even on ABC. Whaddaya supposed their excuse will be then?

I am thanking a commentator below for this one.

Just like the “bloodbath” comment of a few months ago, this is another deceptive omission of the context of the statement. Directly before these comments, he clearly stated it was directed a some Christian (and NRA members) who typically never vote at all. By saying if they vote this time, the electoral fraud could finally be overcome and then addressed to never skew elections again. Watch the speech beginning at the 30 minute mark.

As can be seen from the comments, no one is buying this rewriting of history, except for the TDS-infused hypocrites defending and justifying it.

Media (no longer) Matters

This is a really good synopsis on how the MSM have lost the trust of the people, as well as the residual repercussions that eventually elevated Trump to the White House once again for a second term.

“I see one lie after another sold to us, the unsuspecting public who deserved better. The 51 experts on the Hunter Biden laptop. Russiagate. The generals. COVID leaked from a lab was racist, attempting to close the border from China was racist, the photo op story that was debunked, “Jacob Blake was unarmed,” and on and on it went.”

https://sashastone.substack.com/p/how-the-medias-elitism-cost-them

We all know some who took similar elitist positions, promoting their own warped views, while continually berating any opposing voices. To sum it up, how is that working out for them?

All that is left for those now left behind and ignored, is to continually drum up more angst within their echo chambers (BlueSky) and occasionally organize another event (for the people) that is universally ignored by most everyone.

Now, we see calls for a General Strike. Let’s see, that effort (started in 2022) requires over 10 million signees before they launch their devastating attack to cripple the administration. To date, they’ve gathered a total of about 324k. The problem is, they need about 250k each month to reach their goal before this administration has completed its term. At the rate they are now building support (9k/mo), they’ll finally reach that goal in 1150 years!

There have also been numerous (and humorous) other protests and boycotts, they claim has widespread support but is just the same few dozen loud voices, repeating the same unsubstantiated rants that have been falling on deaf ears for many months now.

One thing I do admire about these folks is their tenacity – as well as completely ignoring factual news reports that contradicts their argument by simply refusing to acknowledge them. Even though they state that they will acknowledge being wrong in the future when they’ve utterly failed to do so so often in the past.

I’ll let the author above summarize how to deal with their superiority complex:

“Or, in simpler terms, get over yourselves”.

And I’ll add: GET SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP!


Morning Chores / Critter Care

It gets busy at sunrise. Luckily, it’s only for a half hour or so AND it is entirely of our own design by spoiling our critters with gourmet feasts to no end.

Most “chicken folk”, throw the days ration of store-bought generic feed on the ground as they let the birds out of their coops. For us?

Prepare chicken feed:

  1. In a large bowl, add 7 scoops of organic/non-GMO feed.
  2. Add 3 hard boiled eggs and any eggshells used the previous day.
  3. Add a heaping tablespoon of cream cheese and or cottage cheese/yogurt.
  4. Add 8 good shakes of cayenne pepper (organic of course – as all ingredients are).
  5. Add 8 good shakes of oregano.
  6. Add 6 good shakes of garlic powder.
  7. Using a potato masher, grind up and mix thoroughly all ingredients.
  8. Set bowl aside.

Prepare feral cat breakfast:

  1. In a bowl, add scoop of cat kibble.
  2. Mix in about 1/3 of a can of mackerel/salmon or tuna.
  3. Sometimes, we’ll crumble in some stale white bread or buns.

Head out to the barn with both bowls. I first ring a cowbell as I walk out the back door to summon the cats and announce breakfast. I’ll typically feed the cats first so they stay out of the way while addressing the chickens. (The ferals also get another helping of the same at closing (coop) time, which is sundown).

Returning to the counter outside the front coop, for the chickens, I’ll scoop 3 cups of the feed mix into each of the 2 larger feeders, which are 4″ pvc pipe cut in half lengthwise to make 2 trays. Lacking protection from the elements, these go in the back chicken run/barnyard that is protected by the barn lean to roof.

As I venture to the back with the trays, this is when I’ll know if there is something in the live-trap I set out there (with peanut butter bait) overnight. More days than not this week, I’ve either trapped another possum or more often another skunk. If it’s a possum, I throw a towel over the trap and carry it to the back of the barnyard by the big gate. These are turned over to a local trapper who is releasing them at his farm, since he claims their numbers are way down (you could have fooled me). If I can’t reach him, I’ll release them in the National Forest up the road about 5 miles. However, if it is another skunk, they are humanely dispatched and I drag the trap over to the gate. Later, I’ll dump their carcass in the opposite corner of our property and the coyotes typically haul them away within a day or 2.

With that out of the way, once I place the trays in their holders, I fling open the barn door and the chickens rush out to feast.

Then, I’ll return to the front and scoop out 2 more cups of feed into each of 3 more trays (2″ pipe). 2 go into holders in the front chicken run. Depending on the weather, I’ll put on the “roofs” to these if needed. Then, I open the front coop door and that flock rushes out. Some instantly go directly to those feeders. Others rush to the back to eat out of the bigger ones with no roof, and a surprising number of them skip the feeders altogether and go out into the barnyard to find worms and bugs in the morning dew.

The 3rd tray goes in the middle chicken run, outside the infirmary and middle coop, which we call the battered hens shelter. This also gets a roof if needed.

With everyone in the barn now fed, I’ll check all the water stations and top off as needed. The chickens will get a 2nd helping as I replenish the trays from the remainder in the bowl around noon – usually 6 or so more scoops.

Meanwhile, the dogs are watching my every move in the morning because they know they are next. As I return to the house, they excitedly run to the front door for they know I’ll be coming out the front to retrieve their dishes from the porch. Once I do, they sit patiently at the door and will whine if I close it as they like to watch me prepare it. To pacify them during this, I give them each a pro-biotic chewy to munch on.

Prepare dog(s) food:

  1. In each bowl, add 1 tbsp of coconut oil.
  2. Add about 2 cups of veggies. These are the store-bought frozen variety and is typically a mix of carrots, squash, beans, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower etc.
  3. Add a large tbsp of cottage cheese or yogurt.
  4. One tbsp of raw ground meat. This is purchased from a local butcher shop and is labelled as “pet nutrition – not for human consumption” and is either ground chicken, pork or beef.
  5. I’ll also conceal a omega-3 fish oil capsule inside the glob of meat.
  6. Add 4 or 5 chunks of organ meat. We started with partially cooked beef liver but now prefer beef hearts since the liver is where toxins are filtered out. We’ve also used beef tongues when that is all that is available.
  7. Add 1 raw chicken wing, purchased frozen in a big 10 lb bag.
  8. Add 7 shakes of apple cider vinegar (about 1/4 cup).
  9. Add a cup of 2 of “organ juice” from when we thawed/partially cooked the organ from step 6 or will use organic beef broth when that’s all we have.
  10. The final topping is a sprinkle of frozen blueberries.

I’ll set their bowls down on the front porch and they both eagerly “wolf” them down. They both save the chicken wings until the end and will carry them off to their favorite places to munch and enjoy. In the evening (sundown), they simply get kibble – which is also their treat/reward during the day for frisbee time or other activities. They are very easy to bribe!

Prepare Luther’s food.

Luther is our remaining domestic cat who resides on the front porch, when he’s not out hunting. As I let the dogs out to pee at 5am, he is already there on his perch by the door whining for food, as his dish is often raided overnight by the ferals and is always empty by morning. So I will scoop him some kibble until I get some coffee in me. However, when I feed the dogs, he is ready for more but not more kibble. Instead, he gets a simple delicacy that is easy to prepare. In a small dish, he gets about a teaspoon of fresh tuna bathed in a good portion of hot water. He sips the water mostly but sometimes will eat the tuna as well.


Then, around 4 in the afternoon, the chickens get their “treats”, which is chopped lettuce/cabbage, a little more cottage cheese and then filled out with scratch grains. These are tossed around the barnyard while trying not to step on the crazy hens clamoring at my feet.

That’s it. That’s my morning. What do I eat? Who has time for that?
No wonder I am getting so skinny 😉
