Thursday’s Cowboy Appreciation Day – Open Comments & Complaints

The Fall of the Cowboy by Frederic Remington

A Cowboy’s Prayer by John and Alan Lomax

Recorded by Johnny Cash

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

The rest of the lyrics are here.

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?

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 »

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.

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.

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 »

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:

Trump is better of hiring a motorcycle gang to protect him. Where are they. Calling all veterans Trump needs our help

Yeah, I can see that.

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 »

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 »

Another wave of blasts hits Lebanon, as Hezbollah reels from pager explosions

I guess when one lays down with Iranian terrorist dogs one wakes up with asploding fleas.

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