AMERICA'S GREAT PAST AND FUTURE

We’re history loving patriots around here, & I’m going to go out on a little bit of a limb and share some of my thoughts on our current situation. Hear me out, this is in no way a partisan tirade!!

Jim & I listen to a lot of podcasts while we're working around the farm; some about ranching, some regen ag, some marketing & business, some nutrition, & some current events/politics so we can be informed citizens. Our favorite of those is called “Timcast IRL”. Tim Pool hosts a long-form conversation with a few regulars & invited guests from across the spectrum of opinions. They talk about culture, news, & politics.

Tim has declared that July should be “MAGA Month” and it has nothing to do with the former President. We agree! He said it perfectly in the opening of his July 1st show, “It’s going to be a month of grilling, grill as often as you can. During MAGA month we Make America Great Again. It’s all about building community, cleaning up our neighborhoods, picking up trash, it’s about shaking hands & hugging your neighbor, it’s about love, it’s about freedom, it’s about saying no to racism… the core of Making America Great Again is to embrace the love. This is what it’s all about. “. Obviously, we’re in favor of as much grilling as possible (if you need any meat you know where to go), & we also agree with his other sentiments. America is great! Would people risk everything to come if it wasn’t?? It’s not perfect for sure, but nowhere is. As a society, if we focus on all the things we have in common instead of constantly pointing out all the ways we’re different, we could gain a lot more ground.

The men & women whose values & hard work formed this country really did know what they were doing! In the years since the Revolution, countless people have sacrificed for the rest of us to benefit. Maybe all of us could stand to find a little fire in our own bellies to stand up for each other & this amazing country. Thomas Jefferson said, “How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!” Happy #246, America!!

God Bless
