Good morning! The path we are on may be rough, unsure, and long, but when we reach the end, our purpose will be known. Keep fighting for what is right, and just God will reward you in the end. 🙏❤️🌞
Still wrapping my head around last night.
Forget what Trump said for a second. The bigger scandal is that major networks appointed themselves gatekeepers of truth — deciding what Americans could and couldn’t see, as if we’re too dumb to do our own research.
They robbed people of the chance to watch raw and unfiltered in a supposedly free country. Let that sink in.
Sometimes adults might want to listen to what young people have to say.
As a youngster, my friends and I built a play cabin in the woods. Tarzan was our hero back then, so naturally we had a rope swing at our cabin. The trouble was that the cabin was built on a steep hill, which made for some embarrassing face-down falls when trying to land the perfect rope swing. So we came up with a plan: we would create a flat landing pad by hauling dirt to the cabin.
A little ways up the hill from our cabin was a clearing, so we decided to dig and harvest dirt from that area. Armed with Radio Flyer wagons and shovels, we spent practically the entire summer vacation digging dirt and hauling it down to our cabin. The hill was steeper than we realized, so it took far more dirt than we had figured. By the time we finished, the hole we had created was quite large and deep. Still, we got our sweet landing pad completed by winter. All that was left was to wait for spring to try it out.
When spring finally arrived, my friend and I were at the cabin doing some cleaning when we heard voices up on the hill. There in the clearing stood six official-looking men, all staring at our hole in the ground. Our vine-swing landing pad had required much more dirt than anticipated, so the hole was now quite large and deep.
The next weekend we heard noise at the top of the hill again. This time, a bunch of men were erecting an enormous fence around our hole. Curiosity overcame our fear, so we walked over to see what was going on. As we got close, one of the men spotted us and yelled that we needed to get out of there because it was dangerous. Puzzled, we asked why. The man exclaimed that this was a coal mine cave-in and that it could collapse further at any moment.
Gosh, I said to my friend, we can’t let them think our hole is a mine cave-in. When they find out the truth, we’ll surely be in real big trouble. As president of the Tarzan Club, I was also the official spokesman. “Hey mister,” I called out, “that’s not a coal mine cave-in. It’s just a hole in the ground that someone dug.”
The man, now even angrier, insisted it wasn’t just a dug hole because there was no dirt around it—all the dirt had sunk into the mine. “Just like you two boys are going to do if you don’t get out of here now!” he yelled. But no matter what we said, the man in the fancy suit wouldn’t listen. So we went home. We knew exactly where the dirt went.
The following weekend we returned to look at the newly erected fence around our hole. It was a grand, ten-foot-high fence topped with multiple strands of barbed wire. All around the perimeter were bright signs that read: “Danger – Coal Mine Cave-In – STAY AWAY – NO TRESPASSING!”
All summer long, park officials, surveyors, well-drillers, and numerous other workers could be seen peering through the fence at our hole. The fence stayed there through the summer and the following winter, faithfully protecting people from that dangerous “coal mine cave-in.”
Fast-forward twenty years. Our family was holding a big reunion in the same area, which had since become a beautiful park. After a big lunch, I decided to take a walk and see if I could find any remnants of my old Tarzan clubhouse. I didn’t find the cabin, but I did find the site of the infamous hole we had dug so many years earlier.
The big ugly fence was gone. In its place stood a beautiful and elaborate circular stone structure. In the middle of it sat an old coal-mining car with a bronze plaque on its side. The plaque read:
“This area is laced with many now-abandoned coal mines. Occasionally one of those mines caves in and creates a sinkhole. At this very site, a very large coal-mine sinkhole was discovered and filled in with concrete and stone.”
I sat down on “my monument” and chuckled to myself. They could have saved themselves a lot of time and money if only they had listened to my friend and me twenty years earlier when we told them, “Hey mister, that’s not a coal mine cave-in. It’s just a hole in the ground that someone dug.”
Note: This photo is not of the actual sinkhole back then, but similar in appearance.
I am visiting this area in a few days and I am going to that now state park park to see if my monument is still there after over 40 years now. I will post with photos if it is.
Ranchers in Wyoming said a new study that shows cattle get stressed out by wolves is something they've been saying all along. “We ranchers have known about this for years. Why do you think our great-great grandfathers eradicated them?" one rancher said.

I have been wanting to re-read The Odyssey for some time now, but I work full time, and hard to find the time. I just downloaded the book, and shared it with my family. History is best learned through books, not a through a woke, DEI movie that mocks a great civilization. IMHO 🙂
Hi Kyle,
Can you please list all the false claims that President Trump made? Please present any evidence that you have that proves he made false claims.
President Trump used a primetime address to make false claims, threaten news outlets, and release documents that misleadingly suggest Colorado's public voter rolls were "compromised" by China.
If you find yourself defending a child molester, saying: “WE can’t be judged by OUR worst day”, you probably need to have your hard drives checked. https://t.co/JYvSApplIU
I don’t think people realize the conspiracy that was exposed today. Social media companies, Democrats, the Media and the Deep State engaged in the biggest organized criminal conspiracy in US history.
This is exponentially worse than Watergate.
