The 34yo dad spending a morning out with his wife and toddler thinks he’s the luckiest guy in the world.
The 34yo guy who hung out until 2am last night with a Zoomer thinks he’s the luckiest in the world.
The 34yo guy who lives in the country, hunts/fishes whenever he wants, and has an 90k truck thinks he’s the luckiest guy in the world.
They’re all correct.
Classic French Beef Stew with Mushrooms
Ingredients:
3 lbs beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 carrots, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 lb mushrooms, quartered
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 bouquet garni (thyme, bay leaves, parsley)
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside.
Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper. In the same pot, brown the beef in batches to ensure each piece is well-seared. Remove the beef and set it aside with the bacon.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated and the bottom of the pot is scraped to incorporate the flavorful bits.
Return the beef and bacon to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste and add the bouquet garni. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then lower it to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook gently for about 2 hours.
About 30 minutes before the stew is done, heat a small amount of oil in a separate pan and sauté the mushrooms until golden. Add the cooked mushrooms to the stew and continue to simmer.
As boring as it sounds, I’m slowly realizing that 90% of success is doing the obvious thing for a painfully long amount of time without convincing yourself you’re smarter than you are.
🚨President Trump: "The job of the US Armed Forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, or to spread democracy ... at the point of a gun.”
When I was 16 and made the $3.25 minimum wage in my part-time after school job, I paid federal income tax.
My pay stub was a valuable educational lesson for a young man just starting out.
How did we get to the point where 40% of all Americans pay no federal tax of any kind?
No skin in the game = no cares about federal spending.
Let's fix this.

If you are anxious, you are living in the future.
If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”

The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!
The stock market needs to correct.
Government spending needs to fall.
Government jobs need to be eliminated.
Trade needs to be equalized.
Rates need to come down.
Real estate needs to fall.
This is the only way through.
Think long term.
The alternative was slavery.
We are 36 trillion dollars in debt, with another 2 trillion being added each budget. There aren't good factory jobs. People have to move and job hop and do gig work.
Left wing billionaires got richer by looting the country.
That is the result of so-called "free trade."
Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place. This is despite the fact that the biggest abuser of them all, China, whose markets are crashing, just raised its Tariffs by 34%, on top of its long term ridiculously high Tariffs (Plus!), not acknowledging my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate. They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
