I don’t see a reefer but I wonder if he’d loan it to me for Saturday night.

He’s the one who wrote it. Sheesh!

I’m reasonably sure that it was paid for, by taxpayers.

Inaccurate, but consistent. It was not said that slaves benefited from slavery, it was said that some freed slaves benefited from skills they learned as slaves.

History is important, but it’s a broad subject, and they’re not teaching math or writing skills very well, either.

Call it what you wish, but to say that conservatives are trying to deny history being taught is incorrect.

Not every book is fit to read. Filth, pornography, etc. can be, and should be, avoided by entities that spend public money. If you want those, you can pay for them yourself, but they are available. There have been many conservative leaning books that had high interest from the public that publishers refused to publish, that stores and mail order outlets refused to carry. Books that are loaded with footnotes, easily researched. No filth, no propaganda, just truth, and they try to deny access to them. In any case, the government does not ban or burn books, they just leave some of them for you to obtain on your own.

In the 80s the gov’t offered to pay dairy farmers the average of what they were making every month for ten years if they sold their dairy cows. They could do whatever they wanted with their farm; beef, grain, crops, anything. But they couldn’t dairy for ten years or they lost the deal. My friend turned it down. He said he had worked too long and hard to get a herd of heifers like he had. About three or four years later he got hired at American Airlines.

This is an irresponsible, vacuous statement. Books aren’t banned, they’re considered irrelevant, fictional, and unproductive, and left out of the school curriculum. They are still available from public libraries and sales. Teaching children to hate their country is unproductive, unless you are trying to destroy the country and the children.

Florida and the other school districts that are editing the history books and lessons their students are taught are geared toward eliminating the fiction and marxist propaganda. They still teach history but leave the agenda of division and guilt out. It was in fact, a black scholar who contributed the fact that skills learned as slaves aided in their ability obtain a livelihood once freed. It was a black journalist who spent considerable time reporting on Africa, from Africa, and wrote the book Out of America, in which he gives thanks that his ancestors were taken as slaves and refused the offers to be returned to Africa when freed. He explained that he didn’t desire any connection to Africa; he just wanted to be known as an American. If they want to teach about slavery, there’s a lot about it in the Bible, as well as most of the world’s history, from the beginning of time to the present day.

Anybody who uses google is a sheep.

Hunter could put them up for a while.

Yes, not counting the other two.

And she’s at the beach house.

Milk mainly. There were stories about dumping during the plandemic. There were also trucks that came around giving free groceries at about the same time. Milk was one of the things that were given away. Potatoes, onions, also. I don’t remember what all.

Though it is true that the government, in collaboration with farmers and organizations, subsidize and manipulate markets, no, the government does not force any of them to destroy their products. There are times when there are not enough sales, and someone has to dump products that are not able to be sold, but far from the peasants fishing potatoes out of the creek, they are provided with debit cards to do their shopping.

When a square of TP costs more than a dollar, what are you going to do with your money?

I didn’t know he’d been given a refrigerator too, I just heard about the truck.

And Daton might lend him his truck occasionally.

One like this would get you started for little investment and this style is virtually impossible to fail. Keep the fire going, water in the pan, and an accurate thermometer.

Don’t sell that cow.

What about milk weed?

Maybe that explains it. The frustrations of an italion olive milker.

Now why didn’t I think of that? And why does it always have to be an olive branch? I don’t think they grow around here and I usually have better luck with a hickory branch.

All this talk of milk’s got me craving pancakes, but all I’ve got is this smoked brisket and potatoe salad.
