We raised a lot of our food when I was a kid. On our two acres we had hogs, chickens, rabbits, a big garden, the occasional duck, and a herd of cats to keep the vermin at bay. That was the idea anyway. I don’t remember the rats in the house, but the chicken coop was another story. But I digress…. Dad had brought home a huge boar, a Du Roc, we were told.

I could never get into women’s basketball. After being the stat keeper for my high school’s boy team and watching them play, girls just seemed so…awkward. We had a guy who could pass the ball around his waist while going up for a layup.

Did you know on a hog farm once one big, older sow begins to domino and have babies it triggers all the younger pregnant sows into having their litters too ?
Did you know when tons of little pigs are born into litters on a big hog farm folks have to spend all night long trimming the points off the tiny razor sharp teeth of the little pigs so they don’t turn the teats of their mothers into bloody shreds and get infected ?
The sans a belt slack, rino loser bush type Vampyres, such as Joni Mitchell Ernst, the Kentucky swamp turtle, muddy and murky Murkowski the Texas cornhole and the rest haven’t realized they’re done.
there’s a new coach in town and he wants to go 17-0 every year not 0-17 like the bush perennial loser brigade has done the last 35 years.
So get on board losers or prepare to get cut in spring training.
Good find, Daniel Greenfield… The Biden administration is predictably trying to do as much damage as it can before it has to leave. Every agency and government arm is filled to the brim with radicals who are venting their hatred and trying to set policy.

This is not good news about the 2,000 Mules documentary. It seems filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza and Houston’s True the Vote made a serious mistake in their databases and intel collection. The distributor, Salem Media, has already settled claims out of court and D’Souza faces legal action. As those who have seen the film or read the book know, “2000 Mules” was based on cell phone geolocation data collected and reviewed by True the Vote. An analysis of this data revealed highly suspicious patterns of certain cell phones, which were recorded in the location of ten or more dropboxes. This data… Read more »
State Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Lubbock Republican and top ally of Phelan, has filed paperwork to run for speaker, according to two sources familiar with the matter. His path to the gavel rests on courting the chamber’s 62 Democrats and roughly 40 unpledged Republicans — and reports of his candidacy were already drawing swift pushback from Cook’s camp and grassroots GOP activists, who are set on selecting a speaker without relying on votes from Democrats.
Oh, and before I go, a somewhat humorous note: Before beginning today’s procedure, I taught my hand signals to my new dentist: (1) fist-> stop so I can swallow, or for some other reason (2) jazz hand – I’m feeling pain, and (3) raised pinkie – you’re pinching my lip! When your mouth is being held open and sharp pointy things are filling it, and/or there’s so much going on between the gums that speech is impossible, the last thing I want is to suddenly flinch or start to gag at an inopportune moment without giving warning to the wielder… Read more »

They had to answer the Justices’ questions. When they dodged, the Justices called them out on it.The result was that trans “science” dissolved in the heat of judicial scrutiny.

FWIW; I am familiar with the Welrod but didn’t know anyone was reproducing them. It will be interesting to find out where he got the gun… Read more »

Texas’ Bevo will not travel to Atlanta for SEC Championship game. When the Texas Longhorns take the field for the Southeastern Conference Championship game
and the rallying cry for the Texas Longhorns this Saturday will be let’s go out there and win one for the Beefer!
A former FBI agent, Nicholas Anthony Williams, has been convicted of stealing cash, valuables, and other property while executing search warrants, including items taken from the home of a non-violent January 6 defendant. The conviction, tied to a series of thefts spanning years, has further fueled scrutiny of federal law enforcement practices.Williams, 36, worked in the FBI’s Houston field office since 2019. He was indicted in January 2023 in the Southern District of Texas on charges of theft, fraud, and making false statements. According to court documents, Williams exploited his role as a federal agent to steal money and property… Read more »

Conservative attorney and Heritage Foundation Legal Fellow, Sarah Marshall Perry posted on X: Justice Gorsuch remained entirely silent throughout oral arguments at #SCOTUS today in the Court’s most high-profile case, U.S. v.

Y’all mentioned the REA recently and the fact that I got my check, today I’m reading Alabama Living, the Pea River REA Magazine and the CEO said that this year their little REA gave back $22,176,123 to members. Dang that’s more than I’d have thought.
“To have a transgender child has made me so much more interesting” Annette Bening, channeling the worst of Hollywood, speaks outside SCOTUS during the Skrmetti hearing.
Are bans on puberty blockers for kids constitutional?
But having a trans kid makes you interesting & wise
FWIW; I’m getting a little nervous about the Daniel Penny trial deliberations. I hope there are enough normal people on the Jury to get an acquittal. No way this should have taken three days.
There are a small handful of women in Hollywood I think are class acts. You don’t see them in scandals, drunk, stoned, in gossip columns, in jealous rages or involved in some adolescent cheating drama. The first three that come to mind are Eva Mendes, Jessica Alba and Bridget Moynihan. Bridget thought she and Brady would get married and have a bunch of kids, but he dumped her for the Victoria’s Secret model who then dumped him. Moynihan and Brady were never married. Bridget discovered she was pregnant after Brady left and had his child. She never says anything publicly… Read more »
You know, Tom Brady was married to this woman for a while. Is there anything this guy doesn’t excel at? You just want to slap him around for good measure.
