MINNESOTA

What the heck, Maynard?  

Hard to comprehend the insane, cognitive extinction of common sense.

My sincere prayers to the families and friends who were killed.

How does a Democrat lawmaker vote with Republicans to eliminate free health care for illegal immigrants (criminals who have violated law) and then, hours later, die from a bullet fired by a Democrat?  

Take a minute,  and imagine if the Harris/Walz duo of miscreants had been voted in?

I grew up in Minnesota.  I went to college there.  I realize that cultural equivalency is a big lie.  People talk about 'wage gaps', 'income gaps', and 'wealth gaps'. 

Why do the Minnesota DFL oinks never discuss 'skill gaps', 'effort gaps', and 'talent gaps'?

How about advancing character, competence, skill, and hard work that have nothing to do with race, gender, and physical characteristics?

Yellowstone Beauty

I am biased.  No question.   I love the Yellowstone River.

I don't believe there have ever been 2 identical days for this river to behave in its entire existence.  

The southern boundary of the Ghost Ranch is the shoreline (high water mark) of the Yellowstone.   Probably the finest smallmouth bass fishery in the entire world.

Upriver from the Ghost Ranch about 340 miles lies the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone where the river gets it start.

   

United States Debt Obligations

The debt needs to be cut.   Spending needs to be cut. 

Entitlements need to be cut.

Military spending does not need to be cut.

You will be speaking Mandarin soon enough.

Miracles abound

It's that time of year!   The older females are busy tending to their tiny tots.

The males are settled into their bachelor groups far away from the nonsense of youngsters and will remain together until fall when testosterone levels cause them to disband and go on the hunt for breeding prospects.

You can find these fawns in the darndest places.   They will hit the deck anywhere, at any time, and lie motionless.  

How they survive in the numbers they do is mind-boggling.

When they have twin fawns (or triplets), the Moms are double busy as they split the youngsters up to prevent predators from getting both!

Magical, beautiful, graceful.   It's that time of year!

LIFE ADVICE

The most important decision a man will make is who will be the MOTHER of his children.

The biggest financial decision to be made is who will be your life partner.

Compounding interest and compounding stock returns are the 8^th Wonder of the World.

Compounding is the way to wealth.

A high income does NOT equate to having a large net worth.

TANSTAAFL.   There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.

Growing and building wealth is mostly boring.

The greatest component of your net worth is your health.   If you aren’t healthy, you aren’t wealthy.

The extra mile is never crowded.

Americans underestimate the value of pure freedom.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Choice, not chance, determines your destiny.

Luck, typically created by hard work colliding with opportunity.

PAMELOT Summer

Summer is in full swing.  The lush greenery of the Cumberlands is on full display as are it's summer inhabitants.  These are a few shots we took this past week at our TN farm, PAMELOT.  It's a birding life!

The PRETEND Indians

This is another interesting article.

You will enjoy it! 

These fakes and frauds feed at the trough of liberal policy.  They are similar to the greatest fake Indian to ever grace the halls of the United States Senate, Elizabeth "Liewatha" Warren. 

Warren has to be the most recognizable liar in the Senate, to lie and lie and lie about her Native American lineage that was non-existent.
