If you go Col. it is different than going to a Trump rally. Fox controls everything. No cameras are allowed, (phones are ok but filming is not allowed, pictures with your phone but no flash is ok). Fox gives out far less tickets than Trump but you still have to get there early. And even though it has a set time to start, Trump was half an hour late in Milwaukee.
But everyone is happy and pleasant to be around so the time goes fast.
Oh and Sean reserves the best seats for his friends and colleagues. Sean was really quite pleasant in Milwaukee, very friendly and warm toward Trump and the audience.
PS You can get an aisle seat to see better.They’ll say no at first but if the row is not full they will let you leave a jacket on a seat but not sit down until the row is filled.
Not sure if you are going to even go but I was happy that I did.

Yes, gentle readers (gentile readers in Germany), and this is why the EU ans UN are fighting to take control over the internet away from the US andbputnit under a more enlightened international control. The EU especially is upset that we can post freely without the various constraints on speech they place on every facet of EU life.
At some point a progressive Rat here will move to transfer control to an international authority, as other commo systems are, as a lot of what we post is illegal in other countries and even though we preach free speech and free press we should respect other countries limits. Plus conservative soeech, especially in standard English, is frowned upon by many profressives.

I used to have to take a sleeping pill and a very strong painkiller before bedtime. We always had a routine that involved my girls coming into my room to chat before lights out and I would usually wait until they went to bed to take the pills, sometimes the pain was too strong and I would take them just before I thought they were leaving, at which point they decided to stay longer, and sure enough the next day the teenagers told me I relaxed all rules and I said sure they could go on an overnight trip to Great America with their male and female friends 🙄 and other such things.
I soon learned to apply my “If you ask me while I’m on the phone the answer is no, without any chance of appeal,” to after I’d taking my nighttime pills also.

Funny story. She and her husband are both avid readers, and her biggest fear was that her kids wouldn’t like reading. As it turns out, the older one is like her, but he has different reading tastes. The funny thing was that he would take a book in the bathroom and stay in there to read. It’s a favorite place for my SIL to take a book, so my daughter finally had to tell him (her son) that he could read in his bedroom or the living room, and that he didn’t have to stay in the bathroom.
As for my son-in-law, he still keeps a mini library in the bathroom.

Stella,
Thank you so much for the beautiful picture. In addition, I thank ImpeachEmAll for providing the Lower Antelope Canyon, AZ video. I have been trying to find this information for years. When several years ago I took a RV trip to the West and visited my cousin in Page, AZ, he took me downtown to a photographer’s shop where the most beautiful photos of the canyon were displayed. I haven’t known where the location of the photos were taken until today. He did take me on a Lake Powell boat trip but didn’t tell me about the canyon. I very much appreciate your helping me to remember my trip whereby I visited many states. I look forward to finding online the canyon’s photos as they will bring great enjoyment in my country home.
In addition, I rarely dream, but in the wee hours this AM I dreamed that in a house owned by Sundance and a kind woman (I think it must have been Stella), people were coming and going in a happy, secure, comforting place that no one wanted to leave. Rather than going to CTH, I came here this morning for perhaps the third time. And what occurred when I saw the photo was all I needed to make this a wonderful day.
There is something rather special about 2016. I am noticing many serendipitous events that are taking me (and us) on a special, personal path of enlightenment. This one today of the photo is another blessing I can add to my journal. Everything is going to work out. God has sent help for our nation; we know whom He has sent.
Blessings, peace, happiness, and hope I wish for all here.

From the vaunted, hallowed halls of Academia, where the men are… ah nevermind.
The campus guardians of political correctness have eyed the Kentucky Derby and judged it offensive. At Dartmouth College, the Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority has canceled its Derby party after some Dartmouth students called it racist and elitist.
Last year, campus Black Lives Matter protested outside the invitation-only party. According to the Washington Times, “Protesters held signs declaring ‘black rage’ and repeated chants of ‘What is Derby? It’s the face of genocide,’ and ‘What is Derby? It’s the face of police brutality.’”
After consulting the protesters and the Dartmouth Afro-American society, the sorority recently voted to curtail the Derby theme for this year’s spring party. The sorority’s vice president explained her understanding that Derby is “related to pre-war southern culture.” She parroted the narrative that Derby connotes antebellum plantations.
However, as any Kentuckian with a Derby glass handy can confirm, the first Derby was not held until 1875 — a decade after the Civil War ended. And Kentucky never joined the Confederacy; it’s as much midwestern as southern.

It’s amazing how even gross stupidity, when delivered in a full, sonorous and cultured Brit-snot voice seems less ‘sheesh’ and more ‘well fancy that’. Our narrator was going on about how some British actress has started a petition to expedite the immigration of children into the UK whose parents are already in the UK. Of course these ‘children’ would include sons, daughters, neices, nephews, first, second, third and those removed by geneticdps but connected by rainbows arcing out of their burkas – jees, a lot like our ‘bless the beasts and the children’ plan.
The petition is an exacr copy of the dry rot proposal here, an announced plan to let in a hundred and fifty or so Keane-eyed children but written to allow the greater immigration of more metastatic Moslem cells. But hey, they won’t have our San Bernardino problems, they have strict monarchial gin control, that will make the prols safe.
Agian, being superior to those second and third sons who abandoned England rather than suffer through further control by an inbred monarchy, our mistakes can’t happen there. The French, the Belgians, the mainlanders all don’t have a clue as to how melding British mettle with Moslem dross should be done. Breathing the very English air will change their cultural, if not genetic, makeup and centuries of barbaric behavior will just melt away.
Now, this post is most likey a hate crime in Germany and, at the very least, should earn me a whack on the bum from one of those headmasters in a Brit public school.Viva los free internet!

I don’t have much use for stupid people, I’d wait to butcher the cow until they showed up for their protest and then I’d butcher it right in front of them.
This lady who has started this entire thing is why I believe all kids should have to learn where their food comes from then they won’t grow up to be an idiot like her who thinks beef is at the grocery store in nice little packages.

Over the years, Benner’s farm has evolved into a popular attraction for strawberry picking, birthday parties, and class trips for kids. Which is how Kimberly Sherriton, a mother from Commack, got involved with a farm cow that she saw at a birthday party.
Sherriton became heartbroken when she heard that the 2-year-old cow will end up on the Benner’s family dinner table.
Benner says he does not want to sell the cow because his family can’t afford to buy that quality of food.
Sherriton still believes he should buy meat from the store.
“He doesn’t need this cow to survive and feed his family. He puts a sob story on there. Please, tell him to go to Whole Foods and go get some anti-biotic free beef there,” she said.

I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with these kind of people before and no they don’t realize meat comes from a cow, pig, chicken, etc. I have had them tell me people should buy meat from the store so animals don’t have to die.

That’s what happens when people are divirced from the food production process, they don’t know s@@@ so they’ll fall for anything. They forget those bright red tomatoes are picked unripe and ripened on their way to the store, losing the taste benefits (and some nutrition) in the process. Those extra expensive tomatoes ripened and sold on-the-vine, a pure affectation as they’re picked green too, that piece of vine doesn’t mean crap,except a higer price.
How about dem eggs? Hens kept in cages their entire laying lives, fed crap cheapest-bidder food. Maybe dem ‘free range’ eggs come from chickens allowed wed to scrape aroubd an area with slightly more area than a cage but most are still eating crap tossed out and not following around farmer Brown and eating bugs and garden greens. Taste a real farm egg next to one from your big box store (that may be months old) and see the difference.
I’m not even going into pigs or feed lot beef. our two custom meat dhops here both use local grass-fed beef and believe me, you can see and taste the difference. Every now and then I buy a couple of two-inch thick T-bones, nice healthy ones, for about $12 a pound. I get folks who tell me I can get them at WallyWorld for about $9 on sale, and I can. Difference is that they’re one inch thick, a pasty red and have that yellowish fat that’s a sign of fed lot. Mine from the custom shop are deep red, well marbled and have white fat – their donor was also walking around less than a week before he hit my grill.
We also have two small shops that make fresh sausage and headcheese, one makes a seafood headchese that is addictive. Fresh andouille, boudin, kielbasa, a dozen kinds of sausage made with fresh ingredients in small batches with no industrial fillers,
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to have a bedtime glass of ice cold whole milk from my local dairy and to hell with the huge blob of butter fat that will be floating on top.

I honestly don’t like grass fed beef, we’ve tried raising our beef on grass and hay only and I don’t like the flavor. I prefer to feed out our beef the last 30 to 60 days on corn and hay. The flavor is ten times better. Same way with pork and chicken.
I actually find people who look at our beef and say it’s not as red as store meat, but the reason is stores inject red dye into their meat, you have to also watch for meat markets who do the same.
Marbling also differs by breed, which many do not know. Angus beef is what gets pushed, but if you really like marbling in my personal opinion hereford or hereford cross is the way to go. Now any home raised beef is going to be better than store meat, but there is no better home raised meat than hereford or hereford cross.
When it comes to pork the best is either berkshire/berkshire cross or large black/large black cross. Large blacks are just slow growing so it takes longer to get to market, but next to an Old Spot they make the best bacon. I’d put both of those breeds over Berks for bacon. But Berks beat them on everything else, especially pork chops. Much of your commercial pork is yorkshire, we have a saying around our place that a york isn’t worth the feed you put into it. You might get a york to market on less feed, but you also get inferior meat.

More than a few of the cattle we’ve had out here are well crossed, they lost pedigree a few bulls ago, but it’s still better than the stuff you buy in the store. I prefer Hereford but you get what you get. I guess a preference for range versus lot fed is experience based, I just find the range fed preferable in taste and texture. Finishing with a feed should help the taste but I don’t have the facities and am used to that ‘range’ taste.
Artificially coloring and flavoring meat’s been a marketing technique for years, especially salmon. That meat’s sat in storage between ranch a shrink-wrapped package for days if not weeks so that Big Box store has to make that meat look better than it is. One of our local family stores has ‘fresh’ salmon, both farmed and wild caught, and the meat colors are readily apparent. You get what you get in the new mass-supply food system, note how none of them mention how the veggies are fairly tasteless and do not mention their nutritional value as they may well have been grown on depleted soil.
Pork here is pork, agian that boar’s pedigree may be a bit strained, as would the sow’s too. I have a neighbor who does his pigs the old fashioned way, they pasture with his cattle. They get wild feed along with that feed-feed and a lot of acreage to work thise hams, chops and ribs. I can remember doing KP when the hog farmers would drive into thr base to pick up huge dumpsters full of leftover food we’d accumulated. Driver told me that they’d be taken to a farm where they’d be put into huge bins and be cooked again to kill bacteria, then fed to pigs. We know that food was the end of three meals for a few hundred troops and had been sitting out there for at least 24 hours. I try not to think about that if I have to buy pork at the store. Best stuff I’ve found is that good old wild pig and no one cares if you take and eat ’em.

We always keep hereford cows, the meat buyers prefer black and pay more for black around here so we have a brangus bull and a limflex bull that we cover them with. We have a mixture of cows though, angus, brangus, charlois, limousine and crosses.
We don’t devote that much space for our pigs and unless you’re going to devote double digit if not triple digit number of acres to them then you will have torn up land. So ours are raised in good sized pens built off pig houses and are fed a mixture of feed, we buy two different mixes in bulk, one an all grain mix and the other a mix of corn gluten, nuts, and cereal. All of our animals except the dogs and cats eat it. Then the pigs get slop, unless they’re feeder pigs then the last 45 days they’re fed straight corn that we soak in water. Our little pigs do get started off on a pig starter.
Our cows are mainly grass fed except in the winter when they get fed the same mix as the other animals along with hay. Then our personal butcher cows are finished with corn and hay.
As for the folks who care if we kill and eat them they can kiss our rears.

We knew people in OK who raised brangus back in the early 60s and they’re gettin a run here due to the heat. My ex-fIL’s judge raised Charlois in Utah, serve well as windbreaks in stormy weather.
We aren’t going to do cattle as we really don’t see ouselves with any prospective heirs who have desires other than selling the farm to whoever. One bought cow will fill our freezer for a year or more, over that and we’re into pets, hence that ‘can’t have our food in the yard ans with a name’ problem. We’d feel more at ease with a largely anonymous herd, but…
We can field feed year around here, winter pastures with winter rye and legumes can be as lush as summer. There are some times you’d have to supplemental feed but generally not that much and not that often unless you really push the number of cattle per acre. Beats the heck out of what we dealt with in Utah.

Can’t do that here, some years even in the summer you can’t do that here. We had a few really bad years when we were almost supplementing year round and hay was scarce and expensive. The last few years though have made up for it, the floods do have a bright side, we’ve only had to supplement for a few months and no shortage of cheap hay.

That Utah drought changed my mind on dry farming out west of The Line of Green, and the lack of familial interest taking it up killed that idea here. Hay’s really available here now, great water-year so far and growrh started early, lotta fat cows right now and the calves are really fattening up. Katrina was a bust, the wind killed a lot of cattle and the desert-dry hot winter that followed put some nails in some coffins but those who held their ground came out in the following years. A lot of folks have hay stacked in their fields just in case but you see a lot of ’em selling it off to gardeners cone soring.

During our drought a lot of others were also suffering and the government decided to help and of course they did what the government always does and made it worse. Hay was really hard to come by, so a lot of big guys were buying it across the country and shipping it in and then the government started buying it all up to supposedly provide to those in need. The red tape was so long, nobody could buy it or touch it and in essence they made it even harder to find hay because they bought so much of it up. I’m sure it’s rotted away somewhere now and millions of dollars wasted.

Latest news is that Smith may have rear-ended the shooter’s car and then left the scene of the accident. The accused shooter followed him and at some point it apoears the shooter and Smith got out of their cars and the shooter shot.
Just about 24 hours ago everyone from the police to the uninformed person on the street was demonizing the shooter . Now from reports of a witness to the shooting, video from carious sources and a gun found in Smith’s car it appears Smith may have triggered the shooting. Sean Payton, faced with the loss of a Saint who was shot by another fotball player, and seeing the possibility for some camera facetime between losing football seasons, is blaming guns. I’d have thought that perhaps there’d be some blame for huge gas guzzling SUVs (Smith was driving a Mercedes SUV, the shooter a Hummer) oepr even black testosterone-sotted football pkayers reacting to being dissed but no, Sean showed us it was all the fault of guns.
