					<description><![CDATA[Two of my mother’s goats, which I manage, have recently had twins. One set of twins lived and the other set died.  There are three more does that appear pregnant, but I am concerned about one of the does. She appeared to be going into labor weekend before last, but did not give birth. One of the biggest threats goats face is canines, both domestic, feral and wild. People who let their nice, family , mid to large sized dogs roam free in the suburbs and country do not seem to realize that away from home, those dogs are likely on the hunt. On numerous occasions I have been out at night with the shotgun and a flashlight after hearing a commotion. Goats, sheep, chickens, etc are easily killed by roaming dogs or a coyote. So far, I have not run into that scenario from the Far Side Cartoon where the farmer tells the wife to get the shotgun because the “ aliens” , in a space ship, are getting the chickens.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Griffin and Barry — I just saw that headline at ZH and thought “of course.” It’s all been much to convenient. Much too easy for the Oligarch’s tools to set agendas and get their sock puppet prez to bark on command.

I haven’t read it but I already believe it. I’m listening to today’s hour three of Bannon’s Warrroom talk show.

I gather Steve Bannon was interviewed somewhere saying “Just as elections have consequences, stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.” 

That thesis is the Patriot’s mandate to proceed. The Virginia election is the battleground for this. 

As one pro election observer says, that Rs lead in the State races in the generic election ballot. He’d never seen that before in VA!

The totalitarian Educrats message of “get out, stay out” to parents in School Boards and their kids educations has set the 2021s election tone and an agenda to parallel Xidan’s fall in the polls.

Today, Glenn Reynold’s drew an updated parallel from Roger Kimball on Xi’s use of “1984” as an instruction manual to rule over the people.

After a lengthy pull quote, Glenn then cites WashPost, LA Times, the Nation mag, and others agreeing with Xi and 1984: butt out parents!

Are we at last seeing the Left’s anticipated overreach? Like in the French Revolution that spawned The Terror?

Events will reveal. But again at Bannon, airing a quote by Conservative Union leader Matt Schlapp from his new Axios interview saw the onetime Rightwing stalwart kissing the corrupt State media’s ass, saying the “Biden is my president....”

No. He’s NOT my President! He’s the Oligarch’s chosen leader! A stolen Presidential election greased by a FIB false flag fake insurrection, followed by....

The next great struggle Patriots must win is reforming the Rught by defeating RINO sellouts like Schlapp as CUs next convention in February!

TIME TO MAKE THE RINOs AND ROMNEY OUR TRAITORS!
Or else we lose in ‘22.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oldflyer @5:53 p.m.:

I&#039;m glad that you liked the story about the Harrison family&#039;s pet goat. Yes, it was a simpler age: I noticed that there are no Secret Service agents anywhere in sight in that 1891 photo, either to challenge the photographer or to keep potential bad guys off the White House lawn. It wasn&#039;t until McKinley&#039;s assassination, ten years after this lovely picture of the Harrisons&#039; grandchildren and their pets was taken, that Congress finally asked the Secret Service (which started out as an anti-counterfeiting agency) to provide full-time presidential protection.

It is surprising, as we look back, how accessible our presidents were up through the early twentieth century. Walt Whitman lived in Washington during the Civil War and noted in his diary that he often saw Lincoln passing by his house, and the two would exchange greetings:

&lt;i&gt;I see the President almost every day, as I happen to live where he passes to or from his lodgings out of town. He never sleeps at the White House during the hot season, but has quarters at a healthy location some three miles north of the city, the Soldier’s Home, a United States military establishment. . . . I see very plainly Abraham Lincoln’s dark brown face, with the deep-cut lines, the eyes, always to me with a deep latent sadness in the expression. We have got so that we exchange bows, and very cordial ones. . . . Earlier in the summer I occasionally saw the President and his wife . . . on a pleasure ride through the city. Mrs. Lincoln was dressed in complete black, with a long crape veil. The equipage is of the plainest kind, only two horses, and they nothing extra. They passed me once very close, and I saw the President fully, as they were moving slowly, and his look, though abstracted, happened to be directed steadily in my eye. He bowed and smiled, but far below his smile I noticed well the expression I have alluded to. None of the artists or pictures has caught the deep, though subtle and indirect, expression of this man’s face. There is something else there.&lt;/i&gt;

https://www.lincolncottage.org/walt-whitman-and-president-lincoln/

Another aspect of the simplicity of the period: Lincoln had two pet cats in the White House that had been given to him by William Seward, his Secretary of State. &quot;The president doted on the cats, which he named Tabby and Dixie, so much that he once fed Tabby from the table during a formal dinner at the White House. When Lincoln’s embarrassed wife later observed that the action was &#039;shameful in front of their guests,&#039; the president replied, &#039;If the gold fork was good enough for former President James Buchanan, I think it is good enough for Tabby.&#039;&quot;

So, wait, if horses can&#039;t process grass clippings, what&#039;s happening when they&#039;re out in the pasture nibbling away at the... grass? Is it &quot;lawn&quot; grass vs. &quot;pasture&quot; grass that&#039;s the problem?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Griffin, thanks for that link.
Scary stuff.
Talk about smoking guns...
Reading that piece, there should be---there can be---absolutely no doubt remaining about that entire frame-up. 
It&#039;s all there. Astonishingly.

I guess Garland calling those Virginia parents &quot;terrorists&quot; is merely the icing on the cake.

The man is totally warped. Totally compromised. Totally evil.

That he serves such a central role in the &quot;Biden&quot; government is just one more indication of the utter depravity of the &quot;Biden&quot; regime. (Not that this is surprising, but still...)

No wonder Obama was so upset that he wasn&#039;t allowed to get onto the Supreme Court.... What damage could he have wrought there...

Simply amazing....As amazing as it is awful. As it is depressing. As it is enraging.

I guess the question is, What now?...

Thanks again.]]></description>
