This is now my policy platform. New energy is needed and youth is required to stave off the entropy of our sclerotic agriculture system.

We've defaulted on American. Say that to an elite and watch the reaction. Nobody argues with it. They reach for "you can't default when you print the reserve currency," as if the only creditor that counts is a bondholder in Zurich. The Treasury will always pay its coupons. That's the trick. The default happened somewhere else: the pension a machinist was promised, the house a 28-year-old was told he'd afford, the degree sold as a ticket to the middle class, the dollar a grandmother saved that buys half of what it did. Every generation after the boomers got handed the bill and a smaller slice of the country. A government that keeps its promises to creditors and breaks them to its citizens hasn't avoided default. It picked who gets paid.
In just 6 months, President Trump has defeated the economic disaster created by Biden. -No Inflation in June -Core Inflation lower than expected -Wages are up -Gas prices are down -Energy prices are down

My boys were off school, so we worked together on rebuilding the back end of a wagon. It would have been faster to do it myself, but I already know how to fix it. Now, they do as well.....productivity and $$$ weren't the goal. Who did you teach a new skill to today?????

Everyone is furious at the prankster. They are missing the real tragedy. Man A wakes up at 5 AM, works 10 stores, and misses his 4 kids' bedtime— yet still can’t afford his mortgage. Boy B produces nothing, mocks working men with a phone, and makes thousands in clout. The problem isn't a pizza company. It’s a broken system that punishes the Builder and rewards the Parasite. When a father’s sweat buys less than a clown’s disrespect, a nation loses its soul. Restore the dignity of honest work.
He’s still here. He’s got a fan club. Including us.

Juxtaposition between the two. USDA Announces $472.5 Million Food Purchase to Support U.S. Producers and Strengthen America’s Food Supply | USDA share.google/LSDlP43AX9O0lZ5…
Feed the WHOLE family this Thanksgiving for under $39! 🦃🇺🇸 This holiday season, President Trump is delivering on his promise to lower costs and put MORE food on the table for LESS! @POTUS’s Family First policies are building an economy that delivers for hardworking American families. Thank you, @AldiUSA , for answering the President’s call to help make the holidays more affordable! There is still more work to do, but deals like this are REAL progress toward making the holidays more affordable for American families!

People aren't clamoring for cheaper priced pork, because quite frankly, modern commodity pork just isn't very good. 🤷‍♂️ Even cheapest ground beef is still more palatable.
Why don't consumers just eat pork? Retail beef prices have surged 65% over the past decade, reaching $9.47/lb. Beef now costs nearly 2x pork and 4x chicken — both near record relative premiums. Yet consumers continue to pay that premium. Is beef demand really this inelastic? #beef #cattle #demand

"Happy wife, happy life" is the coward’s liturgy for an abdicated throne. You traded biblical headship for temporary domestic peace. Now your wife carries the emotional and spiritual steering wheel of the home, exhausted by a role God never built her to bear. Your sons watch you flinch at every conflict and learn that a man’s highest duty is keeping the peace at any cost. Ephesians 5 does not tell a husband to manage his wife's moods. It tells him to love her as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her. Put the television on mute. Reclaim the spiritual lead. Stop appeasing your household and start covering it.

We told you.
With Trump's additional $8 billion diesel relief package the government is on pace to pay farmers $55.4 billion in 2026, shattering the record $45 billion farmers got during COVID in 2020. It's not right for the government to take money from non-farmers and give it to farmers.

The government is sending more to farmers in 2026 than during the pandemic! teapawt.net/PeterSchiff/status/211…
It came to me as I was dumping soybeans at the elevator, just how much government money has skewed the ag economy. The "prosperity" of the last 25 years is just government dollars flowing into equipment/bins/buildings/semis/land. Take it away and the facade will crumble.

For those who don't know. This thread is worth the read
So here's the dairy diary. I recently returned from New England where I delved into the differences of the dairy industry in both countries and how it affects dairy farmers. 1/ Consumers in both countries pay virtually the same price for milk- pennies per liter either way.1/

⚡️A society becomes unstable when ownership stops being the reward for participating in the system and becomes the prerequisite for participating successfully at all. That is where this is heading. The next class divide will not simply be rich versus poor. It will be between people whose balance sheets compound faster than life gets expensive and people whose incomes cannot. That is a much more dangerous divide because time itself begins working for one side and against the other.
The American dream now costs $5.32 million, per a new Investopedia analysis. But a full-time worker with a bachelor’s degree earns about $3.6 million over a career, from age 25 to 64. Add 20 years of average Social Security, and it’s still only about $4.1 million. That leaves the average college graduate roughly $1.2 million short, before paying a dollar in taxes.

Cattle and land are too cheap. I hate to admit I’m out of touch but I haven’t bought a new tractor since 2012. When I saw this one with 1400 hours for $170,000, I thought they were asking way too much. Then I priced new ones. A new tractor like this is just shy of $400,000. I couldn’t believe it. I paid $174,000 for a new ivt 8225R in 2012. The bigger row crop tractors are now closer to $600k! My back has gotten tired of running a 4850 for baling and I sure would like to upgrade because we’ve grown the Colorado operation to over 1500 acres of mostly irrigated land and it’s requiring a lot of time in the seat, but things just don’t add up, even with $400/ton hay and $3.50 feeders, and I really don’t expect either to stay this high for much longer. I keep hearing that cattle and land are too high, but when you look at costs in agricultural inputs, they certainly are not. If you’re in the camp that land and cattle prices are crazy, welcome to the club of being 15 years out of touch with reality.

This was my thoughts when I read about this.
Absolutely incredible to hear a current sitting ruler of a modern country say these words. @nayibbukele be assured and find comfort and strength in knowing that there are very likely millions of fellow believers who are supportive of your mission and praying for your success. If God is for us, who can be against us? Deus Vult!! ⚔️

From the top rope!
Replying to @JerodMcDaniel
the powers that be have turned corn into a weapon, it doesn't pay so they use subsidies to get you to grow it...a GMO manipulated frankenfood instead of healthy food, use it for fuel instead of in the food system while leaving the oil in the ground, it destroys soil fertility so we fight wars to replace the cow shit with petrochemicals......starvation through empty calories/bad health, shorten lifespans, depop. Corn has been weaponized.

Repentance for an older man looks like radical generosity with your time, your land, and your authority. If you own three houses, sell one to your grandson on terms a bank would never offer. If you have a corner lot behind the shop, let your son-in-law run his trade out of it for below market, or better yet, for free. If you have twenty acres, divide it up and build houses for your daughters so your grandchildren grow up running across the same pasture. Stop protecting your estate from the very people it was meant to bless. Pour it out into living vessels.

This is a wild story! There's currently some controversy in my own county about a couple of proposed 765Kv transmission lines.
