The Farm Chronicles: Goin’ Froggin’
The pond was an ongoing temptation. My parents didn’t want me or my friends playing in the pond because they were concerned about one of us drowning, or in my Mother’s case—getting so much mud encrusted on me that it may disrupt her clean house when I came in the door! In any case, that…
Read MoreThe least of these
While America was celebrating the Memorial Day weekend with cookouts, burgers and dogs (even in semi-lockdown mode), across the world in Ghana, West Africa, there were people who were wondering where the next meal was coming from. Families struck not only by poverty, forgotten by the church, but also the hardships caused by COVID 19…
Read MoreTrading freedom for fear
As we view the COVID-19 situation, we do not need conspiracy theories to bolster concerns about the curtailing of freedom. We just need to look at the facts before us. In no time in history has this nation been shut down for a flu. Since March 15, all people—carriers, the sick, the well—have been essentially…
Read MoreCOVID relief socialism vs the free market
The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives repeatedly is placing socialist elements in COVID-19 relief legislation. Things like guaranteed minimum wage (yes, that’s where “stimulus” checks lead), vote by mail without voter roll clean ups, business bail-outs (targeting their favorite businesses, of course), and environmental (translated: groundwork for global warming/climate change taxes), among other things. They say…
Read MoreThe Farm Chronicles: Memorial Day
It was usually a really crisp morning, the kind where mud puddles had a very thin layer of ice on them. You could see your breath on the way out to the horse barn. The horses were always ready to eat and when they heard the door to the tack room open, they would whinny.…
Read MoreWhy vote by mail is bad
We have heard a lot in the news media lately about how President Trump is trying to undermine democracy and steal the election through his opposition to “vote by mail.” The Democratic Party leadership is all up in arms about the possibility that all registered voters will not be able to vote during this pandemic…
Read MoreThe greater devastating strategy
A high-level Administration source recently told me that there is no doubt that the Democratic Leadership strategy is to keep the country shut down as much as possible leading into the elections. The Democrats believe that people out of work and on the less than optimum government stimulus checks will be disgruntled enough to vote…
Read MoreThe unbalanced scales of justice
The blindfolded Lady Justice, the allegorical personification of the ethical ethos in the justice system, appears to have one eye uncovered and the other covered with scales when it comes to Attorney General William Barr’s investigation of criminal activity of the Democratic Party’s attempt to remove President Trump. The Mueller Investigation and declassification of the…
Read MoreAmerican betrayal
With all the reporting and wringing of hands about COVID-19, other stories about the corruption in America’s government are ever slightly covered. Of course, the mainstream news media appears as if it doesn’t want to cover these stories as they do not confirm their earlier reporting. The facts actually confirm the media and the Democratic…
Read MoreThe Farm Chronicles: Round up
Note: The Farm Chronicles is a weekly feature documenting life as a result of growing up on a farm in rural Ohio. Some subscribers unsubscribe apparently because they do not understand this retreat from normal news analysis. Hang with us, it’s only a once a week departure to a time when America was different than…
