Too bad those two Master degrees didn’t include a course in common sense!……… But! OTOH, you may be one of them fellars that can’t be larned common sense no matter how many years you went to college? 🤪

First of all, I’m not a die hard Trump supporter, I’m a die hard Christian Conservative ! I voted for Trump the first time because of Hillary! The most corrupt woman in politics, IMO. The second time, because of his successful policies. I will vote against whoever the Democrat candidate is! How much more can we as individuals pay for fuel, groceries, a roof over our heads?

You are a contractor so you have lived through the good times, the bad times, and everything in between! Never in our lifetime have we experienced this kind of increase in building materials. Jack built a covered deck on our RV this summer. He paid $9 for treated 2x6’s. App. 2 years ago they would cost $4. Another example, OSB 1/2 inch cost us $9 a sheet on the last job we did, in June there was a stack with a sign $42 a sheet at Home Depot.

“An average home worth 400,000 has gone up 100,000 in the last 12 months”…….this is a quote from the Association of General Contractors. “Steel has gone up 67% in the last year”. “Brass and copper has gone up 49%”. “OSB in May 2021 was $12 and the price today is $40 a sheet”………..All these quotes were given to me by my husband as he was doing a little research on my conversation.

Another quote, “At the end of this year prices may drop 48% for market value of homes”………..This should be a big Wake Up call for everyone. And yes…….we can thank liberal policies and Joe Biden. What are they doing? Everyone on deck to destroy one man that has absolutely no power instead of paying attention to what is happening in America. We’re about to fall off the cliff with no parachute! But, no problem, We Got Trump! Like that’s really going to help us when our economy crashes!


I’ve studied Bible Prophecy for several years…..it’s not looking good. It is my belief that we have been blessed and protected as a nation because of our continual support of Israel. There is an ongoing effort to abandon Israel. Between this and turning a blind eye to the teachings of God and His Instruction Manual, I’m concerned that God will remove His loving protection of our beloved Nation.

It seems like it was the feast or famine type of summer for many Americans. Many suffered from flooding, many suffered from heat and no rain! I’ve never been to Oregon, one of the few states that we never got to, however the pictures are so beautiful. Many years ago, I had a friend from there and she shared many pictures with me. Trees, water, and lots of green, always impressed me, being originally from West Texas!…… Mesquite trees don’t get that tall and they bite! Well, most things bite in West Texas, come to think about it! And forget about the water. The only body of water that we ever swam in was a metal water tank at one of the windmills that Daddy would clean out the moss and water dogs……the cows generously shared their water with us! And green! Sand does not come in green! 😂. I wish everyone could be blessed with the memories of peace, love and happiness that I have of those years in remote West Texas.

Triple thumbs up! Lol!

Like I said…………..Way beyond your ability to understand! 😉

We’re back in Texas! Not too far from PARADISE…….Texas, that is! 😂 We moved back to get closer to our kids, especially our 8 great grandchildren! They are so much fun! We definitely missed that wonderful weather on the coast of Alabama, only to come home to the hottest summer that I remember in my lifetime. I don’t remember the lakes ever getting this low, but I haven’t seen any of the actual records. We still need more rain to bring the water levels back up. We are living at Eagle Mountain Lake, it only came up a couple of feet.

It blows my mind that Americans are ignoring all this evidence against Biden…….and they claim Trump is the most dangerous man in America!

I’m watching an interview with Senator Ron Johnson……..more information against the FBI!

Russia Russia Russia was also all over the news! What did that prove? 😂😂😂

We all know where that went! Nowhere! 😉

Absolutely! We must, Fight like Hell! 👍

It’s tragic! Not only for these ranchers, but for our cities that are being invaded by the criminals coming across the border. We have a friend that is in law enforcement in a border town in Texas. He has many stories that will curl your toes about what’s coming across our border, stories that never makes the news!

We Texans are more than willing to share some of these illegal immigrants with you and others in Oregon. How many thousands would you like! We’re running out of money and patience!

I’ve read through this entire thread and you and Tom have not yet defended your statement as to why Trump is the “biggest threat to our Democracy this country has ever known”………If you make that kind of grand statement, surely you’re prepared to defend it. There has been a couple of honest attempts for discussion from two conservatives and both have been ignored. If you’re going to create a thread that represents your beliefs and make grand statements, be prepared to defend them for the loyal readers, like me! This one is disappointing. LOL!

Our President has been in politics for decades…….decades of proof of his ineptitude, exaggerations, personal insults, racism, made up ridiculous stories, and blatant lies. Obama couldn’t have been more clear with his remark, Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to F@#-% things up! Joe claimed that he didn’t know anything about the raid…….a lie! He said he had never discussed his son’s business….a lie! So many lies that are being ignored.

Now we have proof that the FBI interfered with the election when they “suggested” Facebook to back off of the story on Hunter’s laptop, knowing that it was a very “dangerous “ story that could drastically effect the outcome of a Presidential election!………who can forget the remark about the Big Guys 10%? Oh right…this is another ignored statement of Hunter’s! 👿 And then there’s the raid to get Biden’s daughters diary! Several incidents of the FBI being used as “bulldogs” for the Democrats, either to dig up evidence against Republicans or to hide evidence of criminal activity of the Dems! There has been a unified effort to destroy Trump since day ONE.

Trump is not the greatest danger………this corrupt government and the agencies that they control, the FBI and DOJ, and most of the MSM…….that is the GREATEST danger! How many Americans will have to die from fentanyl before the invasion from Mexico be addressed? How many illegal aliens have to die, how many of their women and children raped and murdered by the criminals mixed in with the Mexicans…….Don’t tell me that liberals care for these people! If they did they would stop ignoring it! This DANGER may very well destroy this great Nation! All the attention is on a man that is no longer a President, he has no power except the power that the Democrats are giving him by their continual attacks and attempts to destroy him. Calling us a cult, claiming that we believe everything he says, that we idolize him, will follow him anywhere, etc. etc.etc……….This is untrue! We have continually said that it is his policies! Even your friends have told you this. All of this is uniting us. We are not dependent upon Trump being our President or the candidate of the Republican Party. We will support whichever candidate runs against the Democrats!

And on a lighter note! How bout this rain and temperatures under triple digits! It’s been a long hot summer. I can’t believe I’m actually saying this, but I’m ready for cooler weather. I hope this doesn’t mean that we’re going to have a long cold winter! 😂

Tom, I know you’re a family man and self employed. You understand what it means to be responsible for your business and how important the success is for that business. One area that is affecting many Americans is the illegals that are poring over the border. These are some of those stories. This problem will soon be coming to more Americans.

Another problem that is affecting all of us and that is the ever increasing drugs…..deadly drugs including fentanyl that is coming across our border transported by some of the thousands of illegal immigrants. You have a young one, we have 8 young great grandchildren! May God watch over them and may they not become a statistic of a drug overdose. One of my great grand nephews, 32 years old, died from an overdose a few years back. I wouldn’t wish that heartache on anyone.

LAND OF SHADOWS
Sometimes, the border ranchers hear the horses whinny and see shadows moving silently past the barn. Or they ride over a ridge and stumble into cartel “drug mules” carrying pot stuffed in backpacks.

After more than a decade of outrage about border security, cattlemen and -women in the thorny southern Arizona outback have grown tired of recounting the memories. Fences and irrigation lines cut. Homes and sheds broken into. One of their own murdered in cold blood.

But in this land of dust and shadows, what most weighs on ranchers is not just what’s seen, but what’s unseen. The atrocities of years past, gone but not forgotten.

And just south of these ranches, on an imaginary boundary, a border wall that doesn’t yet exist.

This is just a snippet of this article!

https://youtu.be/tx8m9RQNEfo. “The cartel is one group that is benefiting from Biden’s policies!”

This is a video about a Texas rancher and the problems that he and his wife face ever day!

It turns out………NO CHARGES, none, nada, zilch, zero! No trial! Just a lot of lawyers and government assholes and their BS!

Millions of dollars wasted! It was based on a LIE……..Move on!

Let’s talk about the Big Guy and his 10%…..😉

Most of these have been fought over ever since Trump announced his decision to run for President. There has never been a President continually attacked like Trump. It does absolutely no use to answer any of your accusations against him……you’re an old fool that is obsessed with hating one man while completely ignoring the criminal that sits in the Oval Office. Our country is suffering from more violence and criminal activity than ever before……we are being invaded by illegal aliens, fentanyl is killing our kids every single day, gas is higher than ever before with no hope of it changing unless drastic changes are made, groceries keep going up, inflation is affecting everything…….All these things are being ignored by idiots that are blinded by hate! Americans are starting to suffer! If we continue down this road at the rate we’re going now, by the end of 2024, AMERICA may have crossed the line of no return. And we can thank people like you and the other liberals that are ignoring how serious this problem is.

The real criminal is the puppet Biden and the deep state that has weaponized the FBI, DOJ, IRS! Every day we hear more reports of how these agencies are being used to stifle conservatives……..from our government down to parents that are fighting the control of “woke” schools and their liberal Godless policies.

God help us if the Democrats gain complete control of this country!

I was just apologizing and kidding about me assuming the man that you mentioned was Berger. It’s hard sometimes on this forum when we rely on just words with no facial expressions to express our attempt at humor. I didn’t know that another person had hidden documents in their socks! LOL!
