Life is an adventure!

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

The Scotland Meeting Just Changed Everything—And Nobody Saw This Coming

Trump and von der Leyen announced a 15% tariff deal, but that was just the cover story.

The real deal was never about tariffs.

Since the media won't tell you, here's the real breakthrough...

@Shane00 MJ played in an era where there was actually defense.

@dom_lucre It’s time the elected officials put the people before themselves. Who gives a damn about this, what have they done for the people they supposedly work for?

[Kevin Beebe, CPA @kevin_b_b6]

I keep seeing so called "smart people" arguing against Trumps tarriff plan, but that's only because they think in checkers, not chess.

And yes, Trump's plan is the epitome of 5D Chess.

Here's why...

@InternetH0F Maybe they should have studied finance instead of art history

Good morning.

Shared from a friend...couldn’t be more true

DAVE RAMSEY...

“This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same.

I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind.

We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.

Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.

Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquiries about it.

People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.

$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"!

Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.

We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.

Wake up America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast.”

@RayBake @julieorth2 @IowaCapDispatch You saw what Minneapolis was like a few years sago, right?

[RDS#1 @RandallShumaker]

@RayBake @IowaCapDispatch Ummm… do tax dollars fund law enforcement?? So we already “assume the liability”. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[RDS#1 @RandallShumaker]

@mark_dukes And why does this statement come up about Caitlin, but not the thousands of other athletes in the same situation? It’s not just her…🤦🏻‍♂️

[RDS#1 @RandallShumaker]

@JoeBiden You stupid imbecile, he kept manufacturing in the US more than any president ever has, INCLUDING YOU
