Yeah. This, after 18 years of gradual impediments towards cattle-ranching.

IMHO, Massie is full of sour grapes. He's got reason to be; but we don't need more TDS prosecutions, or Trump Cultists, or any other faction who cannot get past hatred or worship of various personalities.

We need REASON and THOUGHT, and LOGICAL ACTION to correct. Not sniping.

I guess they found Massie's weak spot. Fill your enemy with hate, and watch him destroy himself...another win for the Woketards.

In This Economy The Only Affordable Option is To Just Stay Home...

Sep 25, 2026 MILL VALLEY
Staying home is becoming the only affordable option for many as the cost of living continues to climb. We analyze why going out is no longer sustainable for most household budgets.
The shift toward staying in is a direct response to the rising prices found in dining, entertainment, and retail. As inflation drives up expenses, consumers are facing the brunt of these costs, leading to a noticeable change in how we spend our time and money.
This economic impact is reshaping local neighborhoods and the broader economy. By examining these trends, we can better understand how current consumer habits are forcing a retreat from the traditional outings that once defined our social lives.

They'll be really happy once the Dems get back in.


The Dems will open the borders and bring in enough labor to stagnate their wages and drive their food and housing prices even higher.

The biggest GOP lie isn’t about elections — it’s the economy​

Donald Trump lies. Telling untruths is not merely second nature to him; it is of the first order, automatic. He lies as naturally as he breathes.

From his claim to being a great businessman and dealmaker to calling himself not the worst president in U.S. history — which he is, by far — but the best, Trump has spewed a firehose of falsehoods to the public. But he has never reserved his lying only for his political opponents.

What Americans Really Prioritize When It Comes to Affordability​

Americans are clear-eyed on what they want the government to do to address the affordability crisis: Step in to lower costs before trying to boost wages.

Six in 10 people say the government should prioritize bringing down the cost of everyday essentials — like groceries, electricity bills and gas prices — rather than prioritize raising household incomes, according to results from The POLITICO Poll conducted this August.

The results suggest policies intended to lower prices may be more politically powerful than those aimed at increasing incomes, like raising the minimum wage or removing tax on tips for hourly workers.

Since the historical path to managing exploding government debt is, inflate it away...this is gonna create problems for the Power Elites.

Big problems. The Global Communists will propose a "solution" - price controls. Which obviously never work, never can work...so, as they're doing that, they'll need to foment chaos, rioting, to confuse the public and have a Narrative to blame shortages, failures in harvesting and distribution, on.

Done "right" (for their aims) this could lead to a complete collapse and let the neo-Communists launch their Economic Utopia.

Followed by eighty years of extreme privation. Like the USSR went through.
