NEW COVER! Now available on all major streaming platforms!

Thank you Subdued Sessions for capturing this song! The full video is on their YouTube channel.

“Cowboy’s Lament”, also known as “The Streets of Laredo” is an old cowboy poem with Irish roots, written down by Frank Maynard in the late 1800s. It has been covered thousands of times, and every version is different! Here’s my take on this old cowboy classic.

⛽️ A GASOLINE STORY:

WIFE: "Four dollars and fifteen cents a gallon! I nearly fell over at the pump. Thanks a lot, Trump. And that whole mess with Iran."

HUSBAND: "Whoa, whoa. Not so fast, hon."

WIFE: "Not so fast? Gas is through the roof!"

HUSBAND: "Here's the crazy part. Oil is actually about forty bucks a barrel CHEAPER than it was under Biden. The barrel isn't the problem."

WIFE: "Then why am I paying four fifteen?!"

HUSBAND: "Refining. Turning the oil into gasoline. That's the bottleneck. And get this - we haven't built a major new refinery in this country since 1977."

WIFE: "Nineteen seventy-SEVEN? I was in high school!"

HUSBAND: "Not one. And we keep shutting down the ones we've got. California alone is closing about eighteen percent of its refineries!"

WIFE: "Who shuts down a refinery when gas costs this much?!"

HUSBAND: "The Democrats. They spent fifty years regulating them to death - permits, lawsuits, fees, and a promise to ban gas cars. Who's going to spend a billion dollars building something Washington swears it's going to outlaw?"

WIFE: "So it was never really about Iran."

HUSBAND: "Iran nudges the barrel a little. But the real story? We've got more oil than any country on Earth and we STILL import six million barrels a day, because we can't refine our own."

WIFE: "That is absolutely insane."

HUSBAND: "Here's the good news. Trump just broke ground on the first new refinery in almost fifty years, down in Texas."

WIFE: "So I've been blaming Trump and HE is the only one actually fixing it?"

HUSBAND: "Now you're getting it."

WIFE: "Wow, I had no idea..."

🔴🔴BREAKING NEWS🔴🔴
Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts.

A National Guard task-force detailed to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault-style weapons, was ambushed by elements of an anti-Government, para-military extremist faction.

Military & law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “treasonous criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault-style weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition.

However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.

During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed the government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the National Guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.

Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

And this ….is exactly how the American Revolution began, April 19, 1775.

Never let them take your guns.

@Senate_Fund Nobody cares at this point.

We got you 53 seats during the last election, and you have not delivered anything we requested.

We want the Save Act passed.
We want the DOGE cuts enacted into law.

Every Senator that fled DC to get on a plane for home must immediately return back to the Senate to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security & TSA agents.

You signed up for this job when you ran for the US Senate.

This isn’t a game — get back to work.

@LeaderJohnThune Senate Republicans,

If you stay in DC — while democrats flee for a paid vacation —

you can pass the SAVE America Act with a simple 51 quorum

& unanimous consent.

Failing to pass SAVE is an act of high treason against the people of America

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

@theblaze Senator Schumer just admitted that millions of illegal aliens are registered to vote.

The SAVE America Act will only remove unlawfully registered voters.

He said the quiet part out loud.

In just the past 10 days:

> DC District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan halted the Dept. of Interior's approval of a massive 5,000-well natural gas development in Wyoming. Among her reasons? The release of "significant levels of greenhouse gases that will contribute to climate change."

> DC District Court Judge Royce Lamberth invalidated Kari Lake's tenure as CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media between July and Nov 2025 and voided every decision she made during that time period including reduction-in-force notices sent to more than 500 employees.

> DC District Court Judge Randy Moss blocked a proposed rule by DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review that would automatically deny an immigrant's appeal of a decision by an immigration judge unless a majority of the full Board of Immigration Appeals agreed to consider the case within 10 days.

Federal judges, especially in Washington, continue their unconstitutional assault on the executive branch but Republicans continue to look the other way. No impeachments, no reassignments, no cut in funding.

[Cynthia Holt @Ghostofcynthia]

We’ve sunk so fucking low that getting our elections even remotely secure now means groveling and begging a bunch of corrupt, self serving pieces of shit in the Senate to do the absolute bare minimum.

Like passing basic voter ID that a massive majority of Americans want.

That pathetic reality alone should make your blood boil and prove just how rotten and bought off the whole goddamn system is.

These assholes would rather protect their rigged game than protect the country and we’re the idiots still pretending they give a single fuck about the Republic or We the people.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Democrats don’t help advance Republican priorities

Democrats are engaged in an unprecedented pattern of obstruction

Hence the call to use the talking filibuster when necessary

It’s necessary to pass the SAVE America Act

Amplify if you agree

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Pass the SAVE America Act

Use the talking filibuster

[The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial]

Don’t let the War with Iran distract you from the fact that a TALKING FILIBUSTER is essential to passing the SAVE Act. Keep talking about it. We can’t lose momentum.
