Funday Sunday
Being a genuine disruptor is the coup de grace in science, but for every true disruptor that upsets the paradigm with solid thought- like Einstein when he came along and overturned the world of physics- there are hundreds of populists and frauds like RFK Jr who convince enough people they know best.
If I was not tied to this country with a business I run and I had no children to impede a hypothetical relocation.. I might just leave. There are other countries more in tune to my way of thinking.
The data and science may be manipulated, but the scientific community who researched, authored and have possession of that data cannot and will not be silenced. History will affirm the misdeeds. Kennedy’s collateral damage will be significant.

Nice EJ. Spend around 30 minutes a day on BLUESKY, mostly while working on the farm. Today combining organic wheat. I always make sure I hit your feed. Like the way you think.
When a “know-it-alls” like RFK Jr discover they are wrong, their response is typically driven by deep-seated insecurities and a fragile ego. Instead of admitting they are wrong they resort to defensive, manipulative, or argumentative behaviors and distortion to protect their self-image.
There’s not a regular man in America who’d get away with those excuses. “Ignorance is no excuse when it comes to the law” said the judge when reprimanding me for patent infringement on Monsanto’s proprietary seed rules. Legislators are obviously an exception.
Will these vaccinations be free to those who have no insurance like the C19 vaccines were initially - Or will the insurance companies negotiate a ridiculous copay for people who have no or suck insurance like me? My provider eagerly cashes my $1200 monthly check but always finds a way to stick me.
I was the idiot who put 3 grass carp in a beautiful farm lake years ago. It took 3 years to eliminate them. Fortunately they never multiplied. I did it with good intentions.. I generally am suspect of doing those kind of things but did for unknown reasons.
The facade of Christianity is meant to cover up all its ugliness, like the smell of perfume when you enter a filthy house.
I’d hire you AAron. That sounds like my work day too :)
Praying does squat. But his MAGA supporters eat it up. Worst of all.. JD Vance knows this.
Bill, you voted for these nuts. You are now unqualified to fix this mess. Go home.
An unserious person. This action is for the general election only not the primary. He wants to say that he was acting professionally. Of course his maga base will go with him regardless. He’s worried about the others. His state is pretty redneck. They don’t understand what is going on anyway.
It is often when night looks darkest, it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change, when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy. Hillary Clinton
I’m sure. A little laundry, a quick run to the grocery .. haha. Yes I think there are positives. But for a vast majority of companies, collaboration and synergy happens when eyeballs meet eyeballs. Just my opinion.
If remote work was so productive, companies wouldn’t be demanding employees come back to the office. Remote work was a phycological disaster for my Ivy League graduate daughter.
I’m not a lawyer, I’m a farmer. I’m constantly paying close attention whats past the horizon and am constantly evaluating and sometimes taking unorthodox actions to deal with those possible threats to my farm. John Roberts is either blind with no peripheral vision or he is a willing participant.
Yes, that’s really the only thing we have at this point, besides putting tremendous pressure on legislators in Democratic and Republican seats.
And what’s most disturbing is not Trump, he is who he is, and to his credit he’s been rather transparent in his desires - it’s legislators who have sat on their hands knowing full well where this train is heading along with the SCOTUS who have been willing participants. Trump has momentum.
I think you are making the common mistake believing the GOP ever had deep rooted economic policy. They are intentionally serving the interests of the rich and little else. The private interest in these companies nationalized with soon be offered to the oligarchy and private equity companies.

Sounds like what Netanyahu and Trump have in store for Gaza. A beautiful beautiful place with Hotels, gold everywhere, oligarchs, private equity and a lot of shekels. It’s going to be a beautiful place.
My point.. Of course Mississippi isn’t “all”FAB’s and not everyone in Russia is a drunk. But when you dig down a little you realize the vast majority are. Kind of a lame original comment I know. I’m just pissed at Mississippi and Russia and Trump… and the combine broke a couple splines today…
a reminder that Russia isn’t all just fuckass drunks with nothing to offer but aggression towards a peaceful neighbor.
Scoundrels know that line of demarcation. Tiptoeing up to that line, juking as though they’re bombing through but holding up just before passing it. Bookending soft compliments and direct threats. I should kill you, but that would sadden your children. Words are not math. It’s more complicated.
Yes, I agree.
Meaningless. John Roberts will “Heil Trump” once again. Bets anyone?

Some guys can pull off a funny.. haha - and others cannot. Vance cannot. He always comes off kind of weird.
Good for the Italians
Had Biden and Trump been stronger against Putin and his expansionary attack on Ukraine, Israel may have thought differently about their actions in Gaza. The days of American influence and effectiveness in international affairs is quickly coming to an end.
None here but plenty of black bear and moose. The bear are an occasional problem on the farm but they were here first.. I just live with them and marvel their beauty.
You have encountered them only 3 times on trails, they’ve likely encountered you 300 times. I once had bear spray go off inadvertently in a tent while I was inside. I barely made it outside and coughed for hours. My brother thought it was hilarious. He reminds me of it to often.. of course.
To me it sounds as though they have a confirmed bias to begin with favoring information that confirms their existing beliefs and dismissing information that contradicts them.
Hmmm. Never thought of it that way.
The uphill climb women face: If today you polled 100 men and ask if men should be allowed to vote, 100 would say yes. If today you polled 100 women and asked if women should be allowed to vote, 3 or 4% would say no. That is statistically significant. The Phyllis Schlafly types still exist.
Just because he’s a liar doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what’s true.
Sad to say, and a bit scary sort of- As a Vermonter living 32 miles from the boarder, I’ve become somewhat accustomed to lying and deceiving newer merchants and parts dealers Im doing business with telling them I’m Canadian because I’m so damn embarrassed to be American.
I don’t know why, but I’m always impressed by a person who isn’t impressed easily. It’s like.. man shows Trump gold, Trump pops woody and washes mans feet. I’m thing.. goddamn Don, chill, don’t be so obvious.
You a whiny thing Ryan. Find a hobby or get a job.
The uphill climb women face: If today you polled 100 men and ask if men should be allowed to vote, 100 would say yes. If today you polled 100 women and asked if women should be allowed to vote, only 85-90 would agree. That is statistically significant. The Eagle Forum Schlafly types still exist.

It could have been far worse, but trump understands MAGA is perplexed and not happy with his Epstein handling and are on the side of Ukraine. So, Trump is softening his Putin love fest in a public way but will end up betraying Ukraine in a quiet way. The “let it die on the vine” strategy.
What’s concerning is not that Trump is trying to rig the election - What keeps me up at night is the Republican legislators are going along with it. History will judge them harsher.
Antivaxers always follow the same script: -Deny science -Puff out their chest -Come down with an awful disease -Hightail it to the nearest hospital -Beg for the latest cutting edge scientific therapies to cure them knowing it’s beyond their own capabilities to plot a path forward.
If mom needs a little time out to collect her thoughts and relax, I’ve got a babysitter you could hire. Sweet and gentle but holds the line.
In agreement. I never expected sanity out of Trump. I did expect better out of Republican legislators. I’ve been dead wrong on that assumption. Embarrassingly inept.
Respectfully, a big fat waste of time. To trump’s credit, he has been up front in his desires. This is who he is and voters knew this before the election.. voting for him anyway. A better strategy is lighting a fire under the feet of republican legislators and senators who have been mostly silent.
Why not Lee? Yes, he keeps getting away with it because the “heil Trump” republicans are so god damn mired in fear to stand up to him. Republicans should push back or resign if they can’t take the heat.
Need help? I have a pink sharpie. Temporary fix. I could fill the void.
I don’t fault RFK Jr, nor Trump. To their credit they are who they say they are. There’s no deception. My sadness and disgust is with those in legislative power who know better, understand the seriousness of the moment but are too mired in fear to act accordingly. These legislators have failed.
That is true. But the damage done until it’s historically recognized will be sweeping with untold consequences and implications felt by victims for years to come.
I have a hard time getting angry at Trump. We know Trump. He is who he is. He doesn’t try to fake it. To his credit he telegraphs his craziness before he goes with it. What is most disturbing is those who know better, who should know better, have gone along with it gutless to push back.
Looks like a family intervention to me. Old Donnie has become mentally impaired. The keys must be taken from him.
Add… And there is no such thing as Jesus or God. Just a huckster of his time, like David Koresh or Jim Jones who for whatever reason was successful convincing the naive…. Enough said.
Thanks J This time of year, no matter how busy my day is, I try to get out every day for a hike. This keeps me sane in these crazy and discouraging times.
Beautiful Jamie. Here’s my first Chicken of the Woods found yesterday evening.
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content … a kind of celebration of ignorance. - Carl Sagan We’ve become a “Jerry Jerry Jerry! stupid nation. A country full of uneducated Karen’s whose basic understanding of the world is more evident every day.
He certainly let Ukraine down. He should have gone after trump immediately after J6. Not a good president.
History will prove it started on J6.

Misinformation, disinformation and propaganda are the biggest threats to democracy bar none.
I was thinking Colorado. Never been there. You like B/W. Nice shot.
Yes. Your chronologically hits the bullseye.
Beautiful pic. Where is this Donna ?
Legitimate point Jo. Tom obviously went to the Jake Sullivan school of de-escalation.
Modify pardons to allow Congressional supermajorities to override presidential pardons.
Be careful what you wish for. Smokers now are in a sweet spot. Once trump legalizes weed, gives the business to his oligarchy friends, the price will skyrocket and little growers will be forced out.
Bork advocated modifying the Constitution to allow Congressional supermajorities to override Supreme Court decisions. Supermajorities are almost impossible with our current partisan environment, but I was always interested in Bork’s advocation.
I fail to understand why the rich, the uber rich and the oligarchy want to upset the current economic apple cart when it’s the same apple cart that made them so rich to begin with. Puzzling. I’d think they’d be wary of any changes. Can you say OVERREACH ! Ugh.
Excuse me Anthony, Trump is doing all you mentioned. He will continue his quest until he is finished or until he is stopped.. And that is not happening.
We both know the reason why Biden punted. Because Trump and prominent Democrats, high value Democratic donors were all involved in raping and taking advantage of young susceptible girls. Biden had no guts. He dragged his feet on charging Trump for j6. He handcuffed Ukraine battling Putin.
Quick question to all the chaps out there falling over themselves because Trump refuses to release the Epstine files.. Where were you all for 4 years when Garland and Biden could have declassified and released them but didn’t ? I get why Trump wants it all squashed. I’ll never understand Biden.
Cassidy knew better. Cassidy is a weak man. He succumbed to pressure he knew was bogus. This is the trademark of a wimp who is not qualified to be in the position he is in. The fact that he is a doctor makes him even more dangerous.
Oh my.. then I take those compliments back ;) The more AI that enters my orbit the more I hate it. YouTube videos are now saturated with AI crap. I recently deleted that app because of that. Also CBS news because of their capitulation to Trump. Feeling like an alien in my own country.
Beautiful photo Donnie Dania. I’ve been photographing lighting for years hoping to get that shot but haven’t yet. Hope it’s ok if I blow it up and display it in my office in a handcrafted frame. I’ll credit you by name of course. Sizzlingly beautiful.

Police state a coming. Federalist society dream. White power in action. Learn to make cookies ladies. Stupid country.
I would be much more comfortable with religion if more believers were like you Trish or were as compassionate and empathetic as my atheist mom.
Thanks for the kind words. The prayers given were said with love. I understand that. It just rubbed me considering my mom was not a Christian. As said, I did remind the audience that mom was not a believer and she was horrified at the direction our country was heading. My intentional MAGA poke ;)
Yes, boring is probably not the best word. For me, the creation story, Noah's Ark, Jonah and the whale, various miracles of Jesus, the age of the Earth, Adam and Eve.. this is not believable. Plus.. my gramma believed she was going to hell because she was caught dancing and she had lipstick on.
Lights out baby. That’s how I see it too. Thanks for sending. Never saw that. Like it. Copied it. .. And that belief is comforting in a way. Live life fully today because it’s all we got.
Can I ask who that most “Christian” person is ? If private I understand. I’m not a believer in any religion because I simply find them elementary and boring- Unconvincing. If you want to rock your boat with excitement.. study carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus - the origins of life.
A word salad for sure. I am not religious. The entire story of Christianity makes no sense to me. I live my life here on the farm as if it’s the opening and the final act. Enjoy this life because that’s all there is.
I would agree Kath. Most people who address a crowd know who their audience is and tailor remarks accordingly.
Interesting video. Thanks. Never saw. Yes. And what’s kinda funny Rachel is that my mom was such a beautiful person who was loved by all and was the pillar of the community who helped so many. But according to Christians, she went to Hell because she wasn’t a believer in Christ. All so weird.
