Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.
We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
God bless Thomas Massie.
He walks out of this with his honor intact. He’s a patriot & kept his integrity.
As long as the voters give their votes to whoever can run the most ads we will have politicians who are purchased by foreign governments & corporate interests.
I’m not sure what Trump even said today, but to me sounds like more rhetoric/propaganda based not in reality.
And something about loans, because that’s what farmers/ranchers need, more debt…
They don’t want to fix shit, they just want everybody to keep working for nothing.
This is an interesting read but has a fair amount of disinformation. 31.25% by weight of the corn that goes into ethanol is returned via distillers grains that actually make cattle feeding easier and more efficient for us. It’s hard for me to give an exact figure but the efficiency that distillers products gives us is greater then the 31.25% I stated. So ethanol doesn’t really take 15 billion bushel. It’s really about 10.5 billion. And isn’t the food vs fuel debate an economic one? What would the price of fuel be without ethanol? And doesn’t this hurt the consumers budget in the same way? What would gas be in California if E15 was available? If there really is a shift in acres it will be due to a bullish soybean market. Throughout my 51 years one constants been that the American farmer wants to plant corn. Let’s take a step back and look at the whole picture before we make ethanol the whipping boy again
🌽HOLY. CORN. BUYING.
Money managers in the week ended March 10 bought more than 140,000 CBOT corn futures & options contracts (the fourth most for any week on record).
The resulting net long - 193,271 contracts - isn't even halfway to the all-time record (429k in 2010).
How hard is this fertilizer thing on farmers?
In December, it took 75 bushels of corn (Chicago price) to pay for 1-ton of NOLA urea.
Today, it is taking 126 bushels of corn to pay for the same ton of NOLA urea.
NOLA urea - up 77% or $270
Dec '26 corn - up 5% or 25-cents
How hard has nitrogen been on farmers?
NOLA urea
- Dec 4, 2025 - $350
- Today - $600
71% higher over 90 days
Dec '26 corn
- Dec 4, 2025 - $4.65
- Today - $4.73
2% higher over 90 days
Make more nitrogen here at home.
As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:
“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”
Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.
But as Adam’s wrote, America: “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”
The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.
Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”
As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.
But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.
Hard to express in words just how hilarious this is.
Imagine how stupid and arrogant you’d have to be to 1) work with the Feds to backstab and sabotage your sting/ambush artist business partner, only to 2) get busted bragging about what you did in a honey trap ambush designed by your victim.
This is art.
It seems like Trump is saying that farming equipment (tractors, etc) is expensive due to environmental restrictions, which he says he will remove ASAP. No mention of whether tariffs impacted these prices.
I spent a decade in aviation. I can tell you: the chemtrail accusations are INSULTING to even basic intelligence.
Consider the logistics:
- Thousands of modified jets = STCs, manuals, inspections, paper trails
- Tens of thousands of pilots, mechanics, ramp crews, dispatchers—no insiuder leaks?
- Hazmat rules: SDS, permits, tanks, spill plans, audits—visible at airports
- Massive chemical supply chain: contracts, invoices, shipping, storage
- Extra weight/fuel shows in load sheets, ACARS, and maintenance data
- FAA/EASA/OSHA/EPA compliance would leave records
- Air/water monitoring would detect toxins—none do
- International ramp checks, satellites, and universities would flag it
LASTLY, it's morally absurd: you’re claiming THOUSANDS of airmen and crew purposely poison their own friends, families, neighbors and fellow Americans.
