We look forward to blasting ‘Queen of My Double Wide Trailer’ outside of the CMA’s.
Hope it doesn't ruin your red carpet event.

Two railroad bosses swung at the final spike of America's first transcontinental railroad. Both missed.
It was May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit, Utah. Tracks laid west from Omaha and east from Sacramento had finally met.
A gold spike marked the occasion. It went into a pre-drilled hole in a polished wooden tie. The precious spikes would be taken away after the ceremony.
The real final spike was ordinary iron. Workers wired it and a hammer to the telegraph so the country could hear the blows.
Leland Stanford swung and missed. So did Thomas Durant. Construction supervisors finished the job.
The gold spike pictured here survives in Stanford's Cantor Arts Center collection.
Back at Promontory, the telegraph operator had already sent the word that set off celebrations across the country: "Done."

Nah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.
I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.
We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.
Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.
His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that’s not good.
GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.
We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.
And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.
So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then.
Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like…. actual enemies for once.
That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action.
From where I sit, the betrayal isn’t that Washington finally found some aggression for a chang. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.
No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY.
And I’m done pretending those are the same thing. We’re all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it.
Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.

Some traveled hundreds of miles. Others traveled across the country. All came for one reason, to see @KyleLarsonRacin make history.

The @HouseBenghazi Select Committee investigation exposed an imbalance of power amongst the 3 branches of federal government in favor of the Obama executive branch.
Threat of contempt of Congress was not sufficient to compel the executive branch to comply with subpoenas.
To restore the usefulness of the congressional contempt power, the Select Committee made 3 recommendations.
Recommendation #1: House and Senate rules should be amended to provide for mandatory reductions in appropriations to the salaries of federal officials held in contempt of Congress.
Recommendation #2: The criminal contempt statute should be amended to require appointment of a special counsel to handle criminal contempt proceedings upon the certification of a contempt citation against an Executive Branch official by the House or Senate.
Recommendation #3: Expedited procedures for the civil enforcement of congressional subpoenas should be enacted to provide timely judicial resolution of disputes.

Three outlaws fired two warning shots inside a Colorado bank in 1896, and those shots got all of them killed.
The robbers rode into Meeker, a small cow town, from Brown's Park, a remote outlaw hideout Butch Cassidy also used.
The leader fired through the cashier's brass railing to show he meant business. Clerks and customers threw up their hands while the outlaws emptied the cash drawer.
But the whole town heard the shots.
Townsmen grabbed rifles and shotguns and surrounded the bank.
The robbers came out a side door behind a line of hostages, so nobody could fire without hitting one. As they headed for their horses, the leader shot a game warden in the chest.
Then the hostages broke and ran.
All three outlaws went down in a hail of gunfire.
Seventeen days later, searchers found their getaway camp six miles out of town. Fresh horses were still tied there, waiting for riders who never came back.

Last night I was shooting video of the championship festivities and I noticed @mrs_klarson . She got all their kids to the track Sunday, was standing by helping them get to where they could stand on their dad @KyleLarsonRacin car for photo ops. Some referred to them as Kyle's kids for easier reference.
She was in the background and her kids and husband were featured but at the center of it all, you gotta know, is the hub of the wheel at home keeping it all together so her husband can focus on racing and become a three-time champion while still able to have an incredible family at home. Katelyn Larson is a champ.

Drew Mestemaker is putting together a season you just don't see very often.
He's #1 in the country in passing touchdowns (29) and points responsible for (204). He's also 8th nationally in pass efficiency (172.9), 12th in passing yards per completion (14.3), and 12th in completions per game (22.89).
On Saturday, he went 22-of-28 for 313 yards, 4 TDs and 1 INT. He wasn't sacked a single time. He's now thrown for over 300 yards in each of his last EIGHT games.
He's also made some really big runs along the way, and he's as good a leader as you'll find anywhere.
There's still a lot of work left to do, but, honestly, beyond all of that, it's just been a pleasure watching this young man wear an OSU uniform.
He's one of those players you have to stop and remind yourself to enjoy while it lasts. Because even by OSU standards, you don't get a kid like this very often.

Ok a little Civics
We have a two party system for the simple reason to keep the other side honest and oversight against corruption,
Now we had a Presidential coup here in America starting in late 2016, the oversight came with a J6 committee continuing the coup,
There was no accountability for anything that happened after Republicans took the house and Senate, now the Democrats already have Pete Hedgseth lined up for impeachment 2 months prior to taking office,
Our country is becoming 3rd world because of it!

I shared a riding video, below 👇 - but thought you might enjoy the actual music video. These two young people are amazing. Two singers and one guitar. Caitlynne has such a powerful voice.
In this world, we need way more God! Right now. God bless the USA! 🙏🇺🇸😎👊
God We Need You Now! 😢🙏✝️🇺🇸
You need to listen to the words of this amazing song - it perfectly describes what we need now: God to come into the hearts of the absolutely demonic people in the USA - 99% of whom are on the Left side of the political equation. They cheat, steal, rob and murder.
We have become a Godless society.
These two verses, sum things up so well.
Oh one day, I hope you see the truth
This puppet show stays on because of you fools
We've been dancing with the devil way too long
I know it's fun but get ready to pay your dues
Oh God, come back home
This crazy world is filled with liars and abusers
We need you now before we're too far gone
I hope one day they finally see the truth
God, we need you now
We need you now
We need you now
We need you now
We need you now
We need you now
One day, one day, one day
And this sums up what @MizzWelch is going through right now: "I know it's fun but get ready to pay your dues!" - Karma is a real mf'ing b!tch. And she got hit right square in her nasty pie hole by Karma. To the tune of millions of dollars.
Pray today, and every single day, that the people who need to hear His words do. Because "We've been dancing with the devil way too long!" 🙏🇺🇸🙏

In 1892, a Wyoming cowboy held a cabin alone against about fifty armed men, writing in a diary as the building burned around him.
His name was Nate Champion. He ran a small herd on the Powder River and challenged the big cattlemen for grazing rights. They branded him a cattle thief, though no charges had been brought against him.
His testimony against a previous attacker also threatened to expose the men who had hired him. They put Champion on a death list and rode north with Texas gunmen to kill him.
At dawn on April 9 they surrounded the KC Ranch. His partner was shot down early. Champion dragged him inside under fire, then fought on alone.
While bullets came in like hail, he wrote in a little tally book. His partner died about nine. Later he wrote that he felt pretty lonesome. When they set the cabin on fire, he wrote his last line: "Goodbye, boys, if I never see you again."
He ran from the burning cabin with a rifle and was shot down in the smoke.
They pinned a warning on his body. The diary came out of his pocket bloodstained, bullet-holed, and still readable.
