The Fall of the Cowboy by Frederic Remington
A Cowboy’s Prayer by John and Alan Lomax
I thank you, Lord, that I’m placed so well
That you’ve made my freedom so complete
That I’m no slave to whistle, clock or bell
Nor weak eyed prisoner of Waller Street
Just let me live my life as I’ve begun
And give me work that’s open to the sky
Make me a partner of the wind and sun
And I won’t ask a life that’s soft or high
Let me be easy on the man that’s down
Let me be square and generous with all
I’m careless sometimes, Lord, when I’m in town
But never let them say I’m mean or small
Make me as big and open as the plains
And honest as the horse between my knees
Clean as a wind that blows behind the rains
Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze
Forgive me, Lord, if sometimes I forget
You know about the reasons that are hid
You understand the things that gall or fret
Well, you knew me better than my mother did
Just keep an eye on all that’s done or said
And right me sometimes when I turn aside
And guide me on that long, dim trail ahead
That stretches upward toward the great divide
That moment near midnight when you remember that you have some egg rolls in the freezer.
This week our glorious harvest moon was a bit shaded by an eclipse.
This guy caught it nicely.
Boris Johnson says it’s time for Ukraine to join NATO.
What an idiot.
I tell ya what. How about the US leaves NATO and you Euros run it as you see fit?
And I need to fire the maid.
All these dirty clothes laying about.
And I just now took my morning pills.
good grief, get it together, dude
Just took a tour through the house. When I left on the 6th and upon my return on the 13th this place was spotless. Nary a piece of paper out of place. Clean beds, made. Sinks empty and shiny. Etc. A week later it looks like a bomb went off in here. Half-empty suitcases. Papers, mail, and documents everywhere. Sink… Read more »
Siena Poll: Jews in New York State.
Trump – 54%
Kamala – 44%
I have a copy of a movie called UNFILTERED which is the story of Oct 7 attack by hamas on Israel. This video is RAW and uncensored. It does contain Go-Pro camera videos that the terrorist took during their rampage. If anyone wants to see the video comment under this post, I will upload the video to a separate page… Read more »
Someone’s tracking cell phones and proving that the Cackler’s “attendees” are repeat offenders, many of whom are bussed in so her rallies won’t appear so pathetic.
Her campaign must have a huge line item for “warm bodies for rallies”.
Destroy your enemy communications.
Then pound the hell out of their known munitions dumps and known military infrastructure from the air and with artillery.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Woke Jesus.
Southern Lebanon is getting pounded by Israeli artillery.
Hopefully the non-combatants will rise up and give Hezbollah the bum’s rush and eliminate country destroying war.
I’ve been wary and distrustful of ProPublica since they first appeared in 2008. They have done nothing to disabuse me of my absolute disgust for them. Far-left nonprofit organization ProPublica has released a story of a woman they claim is the “first preventable death” due to Georgia’s pro-life laws.When they broke the news on X, the reaction was immediate.The Left quickly began… Read more »
Censorship For Profit
Do you think the Hezbollah guy who issued the purchase orders for pagers and walkie-talkies to the Hungarian shell company is still alive ?
Woman tries to illegally put 4 ballots in a dropbox right in front of the election director. He told her it was illegal but she threw the ballots in anyway. He pulled them out and now they are banning drop boxes in Luzerne County PA.
This guy just reinforces my previous statements about the mental (in)stability of those on the left, and why gun control arguments should be fought back with “gun control for liberals, they do most of the violence”.
I can only guess who the “6 justices” are that he wants to remove from this mortal life.
Texas is installing razor wire on the New Mexico border. The guv there is offended.
Too bad. Stop illegals from crossing into your state and then into ours, and that wire will come down.
Just saw a video of a woman driving around Springfield, where some kind of wissed off American protest is scheduled to occur sometime soon.
Piles of bricks have been mysteriously delivered and can be seen at several sites around the area.
With my dietary changes and my inability to easily eat – or simply avoiding using my mouth – I can report that I’ve lost some weight. Since eating is uncomfortable (it took me almost an hour to eat a dinner of ground beef in small pieces last night), I’ve been adding extra fat to my coffee. In the keto world,… Read more »
A journalist and strategic analyst focusing on Middle Eastern affairs from the United Arab Emirates took aim at Iranian-backed anti-Israel terrorist groups Wednesday, castigating them for the attacks on Israel on October 7th, and mocking Hezbollah after a pair of apparent Israeli attacks left thousands of terrorists injured.Amjad Taha, author of The Deception of the Arab Spring, excoriated Hamas and Hezbollah… Read more »
Interesting facts emerged when Gaetz grilled Homeland Security Investigations Chief Katrina W. Berger. oh boy another grilling by the pull my finger party. they grill so much all the food has been burnt to a crisp which is why they never deliver the goods. somebody wake up chuck grassley. his strongly worded fax to error code 2-6809-033-545 will soon be… Read more »
This is a live report concerning the hijinks with the pagers and walkie talkies from the Times of India on u-tube.
Who knew the Israelis were such comedians.
Caught this part of a comment in response to a Dan Bongino report:
Yeah, I can see that.
The state of journalism is so poor and squalid today it is no wonder this story has been missed or ignored by what constitutes the mainstream corporate media today. It took a serious, professional investigative reporter named Asra Q. Nomani, a politically conservative, Muslim reformer and critic of Islam to go to Springfield, Ohio and do the work no one… Read more »
I keep hearing on the carnivore videos, especially from Dr. Chaffee, that “plants are trying to kill you!” I’d never heard this before, so I went to find a web site that might explain the why’s and wherefore’s. Here’s one that I found. The plants have developed natural defenses against herbivores and pests. Those herbivores have developed defenses against them,… Read more »
Texpat @ 10:03 What is next for Israel? the question is is this the veginning of what Israel should have done years ago? Israeli military strikes Hezbollah as Nasrallah responds to wave of device blasts in LebanonThe attack on southern Lebanon on Thursday involved airstrikes and artillery, an Israeli official told NBC News, after two days of explosions that killed… Read more »
Mr. C. reports that the source of the exploding comms devices is more murky than a dark pond. Interesting read. He follows that with the dismal state of American health care system. Yeah, another reason to pursue healthy lifestyles rather than depend on my doctor and Big Pharma. And finally – Teamster news: On Monday, the IBT’s leaders created history… Read more »
Interesting facts emerged when Gaetz grilled Homeland Security Investigations Chief Katrina W. Berger. Other than the fact that he’d been on their radar for his Ukrainian antics. The WBA (wannabe assa$$in) was married, to a woman that some social media sleuths tracked down: If it’s her, Kathleen works for a giant, international, publicly traded company you never heard of called Maximus.According to… Read more »
Today’s C&C roundup: Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Your roundup today includes: Florida Representative Gaetz opens new can of even more mystery surrounding second Trump shooter Ryan Routh; more or less clarity on the exploding-pagers-mystery, as second day of Middle East attacks invades walkie-talkies; US scores last on health outcomes and experts recommend doing it harder; and in good news,… Read more »
He’s right, you know. The only thing that would’ve made Israel’s actions funnier would’ve been if they triggered the beepers to play a few bars of “Hatikvah” before detonating.The big story that the media are missing, however, is what comes next. The pager bombing may or may not be over: Today, there are even reports of walkie-talkies(!) exploding in Lebanon!But if… Read more »
The mayor and local officials have been strangely silent about the George Ten gangster living in their midst. I wonder how much money and favors are getting passed around in little, old Springfield. But in just 72 hours, I uncovered something sinister that is the real story in this town of about 58,000 locals and an estimated 15,000 migrant workers—a… Read more »
Lawprof Josh Blackman unloads on Justice Elena Kagan. Wow ! South Texas College of Law Houston professor Josh Blackman argued in Reason that the New York Times’ report was “far worse than the Dobbs leak” in 2022, when Alito’s draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to Politico. He noted the latest leaks are “systematic and thorough,” requiring insights from “so many different… Read more »
The esteemed Douglas Murray… There are a number of joys in life that do not get enough attention. One is the sheer, unadulterated pleasure that can be gained from watching a politician speak about something they know nothing about. This season Kamala Harris is giving especially abundant material for connoisseurs. Recognizing that there is plenty she doesn’t know about, her… Read more »
I guess when one lays down with Iranian terrorist dogs one wakes up with asploding fleas.
I meant to post this yesterday. The Rise of the Keffiyeh Karen But if that original Karen caricatured the wrong person, then there are some modern female types that deserve closer scrutiny. There is the person I like to call the Keffiyeh Karen — the female student with a bare midriff and her head wrapped in the black or red… Read more »
On Tuesday, Gavin Newsom signed a bill to outlaw AI deepfakes in California that are made with the purpose of deceiving voters.(It’s anybody’s guess what exactly that means, which is the point.) The Babylon Bee (with its office in California, by the way) decided to put together an election ad with Newsom’s voice to test the new law’s exception for… Read more »
Sad, sad story. Marriage is tough, folks.Sometimes, even the best partnerships fall apart, despite every effort to save the union. And there’s no better example than transgender influencer, model, and Mariah Carey impersonator “Suellen” Carey, who has announced an end to his one-year marriage … to himself. and, “Initially, Carey’s self-marriage symbolized self-love and independence, challenging societal norms. Despite her… Read more »
Had to get up at 5 to get an ice pack for the jaw and take some Tylenol.
Gonna be a long day.

Franklin’s Indian Scout would be complete without a mention of the fastest Indian Scout ever… Read more »

My 2 girl dogs are playing vigorously. For them – life is simple and they are very happy, perhaps we could learn from that.
