I recently completed a project to defend my ranch
house from the springtime onslaught of too much
water.
The house sits on a gravel bar at the foot of
Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains.
It was built in 1932 and amazingly the
foundation is fairly stable even though the water
table is four inches above the basement floor.
During the wet months, East Pass Creek flows
in the foundation cracks and out the floor drains; a
situation of little concern to my mother and father
who live there.
This running water drives me insane, so I
trenched footing drains around the entire house.
Ground water will now bypass the basement
year-round rather than just during the government
approved droughts, such as the one we are currently
enjoying.
In case you missed the “no sh**” decision from the
Montana’s Drought Advisory Committee, we are in a
drought.
Since our ranch is on the fringe of cell
service, such government enlightenment is spotty, so
I concluded the same, strictly by observing the
powdery dry excavated dirt and I consumed no tax
dollars in the process.
With afternoon temperatures bouncing around
100 degrees, gluing perforated pipe while bent over
in the trenches is exactly how I imagine hell had I
been surrounded by Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
Here is why I mention this:
If you allow progressives to define your reality,
you have likely bought the lie it has never been
this hot or this dry.
Data dictates it has been hotter, drier,
colder, wetter, windier and calmer independent of US
tax policy.
However, determined to crush capitalism,
Secretary John Kerry recently claimed air
conditioners pose a greater threat to America than
does ISIS.
As a two-pronged attack on freedom, the UN
International Research Panel (UNIRP) proposed taxing
red meat to raise prices and eliminate consumption,
thereby removing 14.5 percent of greenhouse gasses
from their imaginary global warming equation.
The UNIRP suggest a wholesale tax, which
means the cow-calf guy, backgrounder, or the feedlot
operator will take a huge hit and this brings me to
my point.
There is one political party passionately in love
with the UN and all their manipulative, Marxist
decrees.
If you make your living on the back of a
horse, tractor or feed truck and you vote for
Hillary Clinton you deserve what you will get.
Unfortunately, your ignorance of America’s
true enemy impacts us all, so either vote for
liberty and limited government or do not vote at
all.
