Well the tanks are sitting next to the camper in the spot I have chosen for them to live.

Looks like it will fit well into the setup I now have and not block the east window very much. With my adding them there I an creating a stair step turned on it's side look to the north end of the camper. After I doll up the skirting some, I'll place some landscape feature in each corner to soften up the approach to my temporary home.

I was looking at the setup I have and no, I don't want to over think it, but if i added a walled in deck to the entrance area, I could create a three or even 4 season room where one could hang their jacket and drop the boots before entering the kitchen area. Might make for a nice place for the doggies to lay around on and chew up the outdoor living furniture I'd likely place out there. Not saying anything for sure, just eyeballing it...

I also clad the remaining slide-out with the pink stuff. Today it was nice outside in the mid 30's. Inside the camper with nothing more than a single heater element of that hot oil radiator turned up about half way, I'd say it was maintaining 60 in there. A check on the propane level showed no usage that I could detect.

My bet would be Shawn is talking more than just a little bleach mixed with water.
Shawn, Are ya?

I'll get to the bottom of this!

Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.


Yippee!
The yippee part is not in the bible, well, not the exact word Yippee. But I think the saints when thinking of what Jesus did for us, were writing elaborate verses that all distill down into a fundamental happiness which, I, a consummate country boy sum up as

YIPPEE!

Any photo-journalistic results? I assume all went well.
No, no photos...Darn!

I was hoping Kat would get some, but both girls are out with some relative or getting shuffled about. Sadie just got back and she was really happy with getting her things!

Unfortunately, Bella's Grand dad died Christmas eve and she is still with the family. Her dad did call Kat and thanked her very much for the things, but little Bella isn't home and hasn't seen her things yet. BTW, that is the family we just paid $350 toward their rent for Jan, so that will undoubtedly turn out to be a needed blessing.

Man, when it rains, it pours!

Hope the Grandfather knew Christ.  For all we know, this might be a inroads to Bella and her father coming to know The Lord.....prayers for them both.
I do think this was all brought our way because of the seeds we plant. Who knows, may be harvest time comin' up!

Two of them were pretty clean, having a small amount of fluid in the bottom. The third tank had been used to catch some cutting fluid and machining residue from some metal processing. The bottom looked awful at first. I picked up this tank for a song, and am keeping it for a possible fuel tank to store off road diesel for the tractors and loader.

After cleaning them with hot soapy water and dawn dish washing detergent and using my pressure washer, I could not tell anything had ever been in there. Actually, now I am not 100% sure which tank had the shavings in it. What that mess was was machining lubricant, water based, and the metal filings, nothing else.

Machining coolant is basically animal fat, bacteria likes to grow in it. I suggest scrubbing the internals with some bleach. I can tell you about some aweful skin rashes it can cause & my guys soaking in bleach baths at night to kill the death itch they would get in the summer. You've been warned.....
Note taken!

And I was going to add bleach to the water in the tank, I always do. Even though the water is filtered, we only wash with it, and drink the bottled stuff.
If you add a bit of bleach to the water in tanks outside, algae doesn't grow in it either.

I hate to keep dotting up Stewies thread. Do we have a thread on raising livestock yet?

You know the deal right?

Edit: Hmmm, tricked myself, you're already the moderator of that forum!

I know, since I like controversy, here's how we'll do it this time

Red Neck since you called for it and I'd normally make that your baby, and since you're already tagged for the job, I'll hose someone else, just because you called for it.

As of this evening, they are all cleaned and ready to go, and go they will, right to the farm in the morning. After setting them, I'll procure the materials for the containment bin and build that in the basement shop in such a manner that it can be a knocked down after construction here, then hastily assembled on site with a minimum of fuss.

That build is coming right up, but I think it will be a simple 8' X 6' X 5' tall with a roof and two access doors, some added storage space and a small area for the pump, filter unit and accumulator. I'll leave room for a few batteries for the future addition of the roof mounted solar cells. I'll also create two passive solar heating panels within the south wall.

19609
You can just make out the 300 gallon mark cast into the tank

These tanks are Schultz tanks which are constructed with the same plastic as other tanks, however are a bit thicker, making them a great candidate for the project for which they have been selected

19610
They all have 2" NPT ball valves, which I think I'll keep intact and plumb off the ends of those

So I picked up three of the 330 gallon "Tote" fluid transport containers. two of these will become the water supply cistern for the camper giving me between 600 to 660 gallons available. If it all goes as planned, the tanks will be resupplied from time to time from rain water run-off from the roof of the camper, once the full system is fabbed and installed

19613
Have a bit of the Beverly hillbillies look going on, but I will soon attend to the ascetics. But for now, so far the winterization is a pass

The rain from the Christmas monsoon has definitely softened up things some. So, we had hard gusty winds and a load of rain but the camper skirting and tape is holding up very well thank you very much!

This is a cool thread!

And not a closed one!

All you chickens ( ;-)  ) out there in guest land should do the real man thing, register and make yourself known, then join in right here.

I'm thinking of renaming this the "Fellowship thread" cause that's what it is, but one or several of my moderators would overrule me, change it back, then I'd fire them again, and then, have to apologize once again, so, heck with all that, I'll just ride along.

But I'm hangin' tough with the "Chicken comment!" You chickens git in there, show some and register! Then join in

Who knows, it just might be good for ya!

Closed the loop on the water tanks today. Picked up three - 330 gallon tanks from an hour north of me. I'll get on scrubbing them clean tomorrow then transport to farmside.

After taking some measurements, I'll be able to create the enclosure in the shop downstairs.

So having thought about it, I think I'll build a simple four wall box out of 2X4's and the same high tech siding panel that the shed is sheeted with. I'll add a simple roof, put an access door inside it, and this the cool part:
In the south wall, I'll build in two of those solar collectors that will passively work during daylight hours and hopefully heat the interior enough in the winter to prevent a freeze up. I view this as an intelligent experiment where I believe the chances that it will work approach 100%, however allow that it may fail.
I'll get busy on that tomorrow.
My base plan calls for 660 gallons of water supply which will be additionally fed from camper roof runoff to add some self replenishment aspect to the design. Eventually I'll mount two solar panels on the roof feeding a battery beneath the camper which I hope may supply all the power it needs to stand alone, grid free.
We'll see...

I have been encountering some. Surprising how fast they fold, now that they are looking over the edge into the abyss of conservative ideals.

Very scary time for them, and Yep, I'm having a good time!

this is my first rule when working on my farm - cardio.

I've been ghost for about 3 months. Some know i moved up from being a suburbanite with every sort of convenience within 5 mins for me to a "farmer". it's been quite the transition. The Lord has humbled me not only with the work on the land but also with my family (who requires me time). I now have to drive 20 mins to reach a store and when i do go i need to be well prepped - like shopping lists and my daughter who reminds me about everything i always forget. Aside from the structural foundations, there is no concrete on the property - my driveway is 250 feet or dirt/grass and when it rains - mud. I've seen my tank (pond) swell 3x since late october and learning how the land handles water, flooding and wind.

We have 42 acres. 36 is leased to row crop and hay right now, so the area i am (current) actively work is 6 acres. Out of those 6 acres, 4 were totally covered in weeds, brush, crap and general lack of care and maintenance for almost 10 years. The first months i spent just clearing trees, 2 acres of blood weed, demoing old, rotted, dangerous structures - as well as working a 9-5 IT job. I've never ever been stretched so thin - ever. I am going from 6 am to often 11pm at night. With winter here, i have 2 hours of sunlight per day to work with if i am in the office during the day. Luckily i work from home a few days a week which is awesome.

Until the spring i am on a serious budget and while i can borrow my friends KUBOTA for heavier jobs, i like to - when I can get in a good cardio working out and do it by hand. I've never been in such good physical shape as i am now. Spring time will bring a UTV and possibly an older pickup into the mix.

Since 8/26, ive cleared 20 trees from the tank. this involved me wading up to my waste in nasty water with my darling STIHL saw felling willows, etc then dragging those trees 300 feet to a burn pile. A friend and I managed to take a few roots/stumps out using his tractor.

I've set 1.5 acres ablaze. The burn has turn that pasture area in the greenest grass on the land. This week i'll be setting ablaze a burn pile the size of a house as well as another .75 or so acres to prepare for bees, herbs and a vegatable gfarden.

I've demo'd an an entire 3 tiered deck with just a mallet and my STIHL. With the help of a friend, put up 300 feet of ranch fencing to make a backyard and built a 24x12' deck.

Built an entire 18x6' chicken coop (pics below), raises 26 chickens (20 are in the coop, 6 are going in our yard), met and selected SHEEP so we can start a herd for the spring, got a pot belly pig, wound up with a barn cat and planted to 2 pecan trees.

we have currently 3 large livestock pens. I am in the process of clearing those after 6 years of utter neglect. i plan to have that done this week (cardio, cardio, cardio). I've hard my arms and legs mauled by fire ants almost 12 times, slashes, punctures, rashes and allergic reaction from all the work, but.... i love it.

I took an entire weekend and attended workshops and lectures at a wonderful homesteading fair up in Waco. I left there armed to take on just about anything and blessed and humbled because the land i sit on now is so perfectly situated for what we want to do.

2017 will bring the adding of almost 1000' feet of fence line to open up more pastureland for the sheep, a veg garden, 2 small barns and some other TBD's.

Lol, and that's just the outside... i will not speak of the actual house. lol.

My life has been turned upside down. I've learnt more in these 3 months then my entire lifetime. God has placed new people in my life who are showing me the ropes and laughing when i screw up, then have a beer with me after.

I'm a farmer.... but i still wear my MERRELLS hiking/tac boots, tru-spec pants and an assortment of "breathable" shirts. I dont see this changing much. lol.

I'll make this an ongoing thread as i gather more pics and project info....

Casa De Cluck









 

I'd love to see plans for that chicken coop!
One of the nicest ones I have seen to date, well done!

Message from the Owner / Merry Christmas!
« on: December 25, 2016, 12:01:11 AM »
I would like to extend my wishes for a merry Christmas and a very happy new year!

We have a lot to be happy about with the big election surprise, and the many successes of people associated with this site and the stock market and on and on. It truly seems like a hope filled time with anticipation for a brighter future.

During the Christmas season we get so wrapped up in the giving aspect of the holiday, that we sometimes get pretty stressed and anxious. Schedules compress as the day approaches, and the crowds frustrate us, and we worry if the money will run out, or about the long lost cousin showing up in his Winnebago, and on and on. With all the distractions, it is easy to overlook the meaning for this season. Christmas is not a wall street created marketing scheme to lull us into spending too much and eating too much, and travelling, or is it?

For me the best part of this Christmas happened when men and a lady from this site got together and made Christmas possible for two little ladies in Cincinnati who usually get nothing. Wonderful people like you stepped into the gap and changed these girls normal and showed true love and kindness. The type of kindness and love our savior demonstrated to us during his brief time on earth. You have no idea of the difference you made. You gave them sheets. Normally, that would be a "Lame" gift! But to a little girl who has been sleeping on a bare mattress with only a single blanket, those sheets were really nice. And you provided flannel sheets! And a nice "Girly" soft and fuzzy blanket...Great job folks!

You gave each of those little ladies a bible. Neither one of them know the Lord. Neither of their "Dads" believe in God, or go to church. One was very much against God, probably because he has come up against very hard times. In fact he is poised to lose it all and hit rick bottom. But guess what happened during all this? Think God isn't alive, or know what's going on with the people he created? Well, the dad in what I'd say is the toughest spot has a guy he works with that is different. So different that this past week, the associate of our dad handed him some money. Not very much, as their industry is depressed at the moment, but small amounts mean a lot to someone who is broke. When the dad asked why, the generous man simply said, "God told me to give you the money!"

The dad describes the other man as a guy who could be a preacher! (I'm smiling on the inside, because I think I know what's going on here.) Later on our dad, while speaking to my wife, asked her "Why did he do that?" Kat explained that God works like that and she told me she could see the words were hitting the mark and really having an effect. Building on the moment, she said that there is a bible in the stack of gifts and to please not throw it away. She simply asked him to let Bella make her own decision about what she would do with it, and he agreed!

Are you seeing what is happening here? Know what you did with making this gift giving possible? Do you realize that your gifts may well have eternal consequences and save two lives? Well if you can't connect the dots or make that connection, then please go get a prescription change, stay off the street pharmaceuticals, or put the bottle down!

Now that same God which brought these ladies to my attention and placed them on my heart, caused me to write about them, which caused you to do something about it, which produced the gifts which just may plant the seed that saves lives. Was the donation or prayer worth it?
With a happiness which is hard to describe, I'll say, yes, yes, yes!

Jesus is the gift. He died horribly. He was hated, scorned, made fun of, plotted against, called a liar and a fraud. But with all that, and his own momentary doubt in the Garden, he too stood up and stepped into the gap. That gap was the void between you, me, everyone, and our creator, God himself. Jesus took all that for us. More than I ever could, more than you could stand, more than any man could. So beyond anything, Jesus is the greatest gift ever. This is the day the Christian world has chosen to celebrate him coming into the world, a newborn child of Mary and Joseph. He should be in your heart and thoughts when you see those you love unwrapping their gifts. Gift giving is his idea.

So this Christmas do something for him. Give him something in return. Do you know what is the only thing that God cannot create? The one thing he has no control over? I know, you thought God made everything, and yes he did. You know he controls everything and yes he does, well almost. He gave man a free choice. And because of that free choice, it is we, and only us and by our choice, that we can make a conscious choice to praise him. Our spoken praise, our worship of him, our raised hands and our soaring spirit reaching out to him is the one thing we can give back to him.

So praise him, sing to him, let your worship and thanks giving rise like a sweet incense to the very throne this Christmas day.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Humor, Good Stuff, and Red Neck Practices! / Pilots Christmas Poem

The Pilots Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp,
Not an airplane was stirring, not Mooney, not Champ.
The fuel trucks nestled, all snug in their spots,
While north wind was gusting to 49 knots.

The aircraft were fastened to tie downs with care
In hopes that come morning, they'd all still be there.
And I at the fuel desk, duties caught up,
Had just settled down with coffee in cup

When over the radio, came such a clatter
I turned down the squelch to see what was the matter.
A voice clearly heard over static and snow
Asked for clearance to land at the airport below.

He made his transmissions both lively and quick
And I'm sure that the call sign he used was "Saint Nick."
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Sure that it was only Horizon's late Dash.

I peered at the sky seeking Nav lights on the sled
I saw only one at the front it was red!
He called his position, and I heard him say,
"St. Nicholas here, inbound on my sleigh!"

He flew the approach, on glideslope he came,
As he passed fixes, he called them by name
"Now Ringo! Now Tolga! Now FAF Bacon!
On Comet! On Cupid!” (What pills was he takin'?)

The last of those fixes were bound to confuse,
So the Tower called me to deliver their views
The message they gave was both urgent and dour
"When Santa Claus lands, HE WILL PLEASE CALL THE TOWER!"

He landed like silk, with the sled runners sparking,
With "Exit at Charlie," and "Taxi to parking."
He stepped from the sleigh, but before he could talk,
I had run out to give him my very last chock.

He was dressed all in fur, which was covered with frost
And his beard was all blackened from chimney exhaust.
His breath smelled like peppermint, gone slightly stale
And he smoked on a pipe (but he didn't inhale).

He had a broad face, his armpits were smelly,
His boots were as black as a crop duster’s belly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old fool,
And, smiling, informed me he needed some "fuel.”

A wink of his eye and a turn on his toes,
He left for the washroom to powder his nose.
As he departed, I wondered and saw
That my challenge was finding a fuel called . . . straw.

I thought for a while about passing this test
Then remembered a 'plane had arrived from out West
Just full of supplies for a stable quite near
The freight warehouse must contain straw for the deer!

So, I went to the warehouse and warnings unheeded
Found and brought back what the nine reindeer needed.
When I got to the sleigh Santa beamed with relief,
Then went for a phone for a flight-service brief.

And I thought, as he silently wrote in his log,
That with Rudolph, he could land in a one-eighth-mile fog.
He finished his preflight, from front to the rear,
Then on with his headset. I heard him yell "Clear!"

And laying gloved finger upon his push-talk,
He called up the tower for clearance and squawk.
"Straight out on three-zero," the tower called forth,
"And watch for a Cessna inbound from the North."

I heard him exclaim, as he climbed in the night,

"Merry Christmas to all! I have traffic in sight."

19627
Here's why:

At its lowest point since the civil war!  Could this mean the end of the Democrat Party?  When the afternoon of January 20, 2017 arrives, the Republican Party will have: 1)  The Presidency.
2)  A majority of the House of Representatives.
3)  A majority of the Senate.
4)  Almost two-thirds of all the governorships.
5)  Total control of the statehouses in almost two-thirds of all the states.
And in the near future, Republicans will be able to add:
6)  A majority of the Supreme Court.

 

The above has never happened before in American history.
Think about that and let it sink in for a moment.
And it's all because of one reason:  Barack Obama's forcing his extreme far-left agenda on an unwilling country by executive orders, left wing judges, and obsequious bureaucrats.

Top 10 most delusional “facts” of the lunatic left-wing fact-checkers
Sunday, December 18, 2016 by: Mike Adams   

(NaturalNews) Since Facebook has announced its intention to erect a Ministry of Truth echo chamber by labeling all news it doesn’t like “fake news,” I thought it appropriate to unveil the top 10 most delusional “facts” people will be subjected to if they keep viewing Facebook, CNN, or any other news propaganda being put out by what has become the mentally ill political left in America today.

As anyone with a functioning brain already knows, the unhinged left is utterly clueless about the properties of “facts” or where they come from. To them, “facts” are whatever their friends keep repeating, even if they have no basis whatsoever in evidence or reality. In essence, “facts” are whatever they believe, while “fake news” is whatever you believe. (It really is that simple in their feeble brains.)

So consider these top 10 most delusional “facts” we’ll soon see rolled out as “truth” by the newly-sprung news cartels operating inside Fakebook.

“Fact” #1: Eating meat is cruelty to animals, but harvesting the organs of living, partially-born human babies isn’t cruel at all

Somehow, the delusional left has decided that animals are conscious beings but not human babies. Yeah, it’s insane, I know. Liberalism is best defined as a kind of mental illness where a person can hold two utterly contradictory thoughts in their head at the same time while simultaneously believing them both.

To demonstrate this particular brand of lunacy, a Beastie Boy recently announced a new line of “cruelty free” sneakers with proceeds to benefit abortion providers. Yep, “no animals were harmed in the process of butchering these babies” might as well be the sicko slogan of the unhinged left.

“Fact” #2: If not for the burning of fossil fuels, Earth’s climate would never change at all

At first, they called their hoax “global warming,” but when it turned out the Earth wasn’t warming at all — funny how that works when you use actual data instead of fraudulently altered numbers — they had to roll out a more encompassing name: Climate Change.

According to Climate Change cultists — named thusly because no amount of evidence can alter their “faith” in Climate Change — Earth’s climate never changed at all until humankind came along and started burning fossil fuels.

But now — OMG! — every hurricane, flood, drought, forest fire and freezing arctic blast is automatically attributed to “climate change.” Yep, especially among young leftists who have been indoctrinated by the lies of government-run schools, they think their ancestors lived in a time when Earth was eternal Spring, with no climate variation or natural disasters whatsoever.

It’s only because you and I are using air conditioning and driving SUVs that the planet has become angry, unleashing all sorts of climatic “changes” that otherwise would have never occurred. This explanation, you may have noticed, closely resembles the superstitions of 5th-century humans who largely believed that bad weather and solar eclipses were caused by “angry gods” seeking to punish them. In over 1000 years, we’ve learned nothing, it seems, and “progressives” have thrust us back to an era of incredible ignorance and superstition where scientific evidence is abandoned for the sake of powerful cult-like beliefs.

“Fact” #3: People with XY chromosomes can instantly transform all their genes into XX chromosomes by declaring themselves to be women (the Theory of Spontaneous Genetic Transmutation…)

Ask any young liberal and they’ll tell you there are at least 30 genders, maybe even more if you count “TransUnicorn.” If you can stop laughing hilariously, ask them whether sex is determined by genetic expression or by a “choice.” They will insist it’s a “choice!”

And just like that, the delusional leftists discard centuries of scientific knowledge in genetics, sexual reproduction, phenotype expressions and physical reality. If you dare point out to them that “transgenderism is a mental illness,” they will label you a purveyor of either hatred or “fake news.”

To them, a “feeling” is more REAL than actual science, you see. And if a young man sucks down enough bisphenol-A to start “feeling” like a woman, then his womanhood is accepted as a “fact” by the deranged lunatic left. Some of them even insist that such “gender-fluid” biological males can get pregnant and have babies!

I have named this hilarious bit of leftish delusional idiocy the Theory of Spontaneous Genetic Transmutation. This theory is quite literally accepted as “fact” by nearly every liberal under the age of 30.

“Fact” #4: Media news coverage during the presidential campaign was completely fair to both Clinton and Trump, but the DNC hacks were one-sided, and thus totally unfair

Yep, according to the delusional left, the almost universally glowing media coverage of Hillary Clinton — alongside relentless media attacks waged against Trump — were “fair and balanced.” But Trump won the election because the DNC hacks (which were actually leaks from a Bernie Sanders supporter, not hacks at all) were totally unfair because they only leaked the emails of the democrats, not republicans.

Hidden in that protest is an astonishing presumption that all the leaked DNC emails were true! And they reveal a deeply shocking level of collusion inside the DNC to destroy Bernie Sanders and steal the nomination for Hillary Clinton.

“Fact” #5: Hillary Clinton should be President because she won the popular vote, but when Bernie Sanders kept winning the popular vote during the primary, Clinton somehow got all the delegates… hmmm…

Hilariously, the Clinton campaign (and all delusional leftists in general) only believes in “popular votes” when they win the popular vote. When they don’t win the popular vote, they believe in rigging the delegates to make sure their candidate gets the delegate votes even if they lost the popular vote. This is exactly how Hillary Clinton kept walking away with the vast majority of delegates even in states where Bernie Sanders won the popular votes (sometimes in a landslide).

Beyond all that, the presidential election is not determined by popular votes, or else Donald Trump would have campaigned heavily in places like New York City and Los Angeles. The winner is determined by Electoral Votes, which is why Donald Trump campaigned in the areas that deliver electoral victories. (Gosh, is he supposed to be a bad person for following the rules and winning by those rules?)

If the Clinton campaign didn’t think the Electoral College was fair, why didn’t they protest it before the results revealed Hillary to be the loser? The answer, of course, is because nearly every leftist in America was completely convinced that Hillary Clinton would win the election (because that’s what the media echo chamber told them). Hilariously, this caused many of them to avoid going out to vote, thereby ensuring their ballot box loss. CNN’s false media narrative that Hillary was “unbeatable,” in other words, may have actually handed Donald Trump the election victory. (Such is the price of extreme arrogance.)

“Fact” #6: There’s no such thing as a hate crime against white people

According to the lunatic left, “hate crimes” can only be committed by white people against people of color. The opposite cannot occur because white people “deserve” to be beaten, raped, or shot by people of color, you see. (For the record, I am a person of color, which means I am therefore incapable of committing any hate crime myself, you see.)

Thus, when a group of Black Lives Matter terrorists marches in the streets calling for the open murder of white people — or dragging people out of their vehicles and beating them solely because of their white skin color — they are not engage in hate crimes at all, according to the delusional left. Instead, they are said to be engaged in “social justice.” Because, you see, violence is always called “justice” by the worst criminals in every collapsing society.

This is why the entire left-wing media censors all news about black people attacking white people, but strongly emphasizes all news about white people attacking black people. It’s all part of controlling the narrative to paint the kind of one-sided propaganda that the delusional left depends on for its very survival.

For the record, here at Natural News, we believe that there is no such thing as a thought crime. Crimes of violence are crimes in and of themselves due to their actions. Attaching a layer of “hate” to the motivation behind such a crime is a grave injustice. Crimes should be prosecuted based on the actions of those who committed them, not on the words uttered while carrying them out. Otherwise, we are admitting that words are crimes.

“Fact” #7: Guns are conscious, self-animating objects that leap out of their holsters and shoot people all on their own

According to delusional leftists who essentially believe in magic, guns are self-directed objects that shoot people all on their own. Leftists truly believe that a gun in a room can leap to its feet, target individuals and discharge bullets without needing to be actuated by the will of a person.

This is where the delusional left comes up with meaningless phrases like “gun violence,” placing the emphasis on the inanimate object rather than the person deploying it. There is no such thing as “gun violence” any more than there is “hammer violence” when murderers use hammers.

When Somali tribes commit mass murder against each other using machetes, the left never describes such events as “machete violence” and tries to blame machetes. Ever wonder why? Because that would sound incredibly stupid. But when it comes to guns, the left gladly invokes the phrase “gun violence” in order to blame guns rather than people. It’s a deliberately loaded phrase that’s designed to blame guns rather than the mostly left-wing criminals who use them to commit violence against society.

Similarly, when radical Islamic terrorists used an ice cream truck to mow down tourists in Paris, the left-wing media reported the mass murder as being carried out by the truck! News reports proclaimed, “TRUCK runs over 85 people…” or “Authorities are searching for TRUCK that murdered 85…”

Somehow, it never occurs to idiotic leftists that a terrorist was driving the truck. And if trucks are such murderous instruments of death, then why isn’t the left calling for a nationwide truck ban?

“Fact” #8: Only progressives can identify “facts” … everyone else doesn’t know what they’re talking about

This “fact” is the best one of all. According to the delusional, fringe left, only people who support left-wing policies can recognize or identify “facts.”

This twisted special sauce of circular logic is what leftists tell themselves when they proclaim their version of “facts” to be absolute and authoritative, while anyone else’s version of “facts” are nothing but lies and falsehoods.

Thus, the lunatic left believes it gets facts straight from God in a sort of “divining ritual” from which indisputable facts emerge much like a genie might appear after vigorously rubbing a brass lamp.

This “monopoly of facts” is the sole domain of liberals, you see, and they know this because so many of them agree with that supposition, thus proving it to be true by “social consensus.” They surveyed each other, you see, and now they cite the survey which states that “100% of all people everywhere participate in surveys.” This, too, is a “fact” of the delusional left-wing media.

(It’s kind of convenient for journalists at the Washington Post when they merely need to cite each other as “unnamed sources” for whatever news they happen to be fabricating at the moment, too. Who needs actual intelligence sources when WashPost reporters can circle jerk each other for made-up quotes that get worked into their front page fabrications?)

“Fact” #9: Intentions count more than actions

Obama is a good President and a good person. How do we know that? Because he has good intentions.

Never mind the fact that he doubled the national debt to nearly $20 trillion. Never mind the fact that his DOJ masterminded a gun-running operation to put illegal weapons into the hands of Mexican drug cartels (Operation Fast and Furious). Never mind the indisputable observation that he was a race baiter who created division, hatred and distrust across America’s cultural fabric. And pay no attention to the astonishing job loss, unemployment and plummeting wages caused by the Obamacare scheme he championed as some sort of twisted, pathetic “legacy.”

Nope, you’re not supposed to consider actual reality when it comes to judging people on the left. They are all given a pass on their behavior as long as they have good intentions, you see.

This is why it doesn’t matter to the left that Bill Clinton is an accused rapist, sexual molester and repeated attacker of multiple women who have openly and publicly accused him of sexual assault. According to the delusional left, Bill Clinton gets a free pass on all that because he’s a good liberal. He has compassion, don’t you know? He supports abortion, carbon taxes and banning the Second Amendment. Thus, according to the left, it doesn’t matter how many women he raped, abused or molested.

Facts be damned. When it comes to protecting the champions of the political left, no amount of legitimate evidence of criminal wrongdoing can overcome the left’s blind faith in their so-called leaders, even if they be pedophiles ordering sicko sessions with minors like buying pizza off a menu.

“Fact” #10: Bigger government is always the answer

No matter what challenges society may face, the disconnected left believes bigger government is always the answer.

Got a problem with people drinking too much soda? We need bigger government to function as “food police” and criminalize large sodas offerings.

Are too many dementia patients forgetting where they are and wandering aimlessly across mall parking lots? We need bigger government, the left insists, to microchip and track the location of all those afflicted with “mental disorders.” (It’s true, Congress just passed the law for government to microchip citizens.)

Can’t afford your rent? Mobile phone bills? Groceries? Don’t worry, the government will create a new program to take money from all those who earned it and redistribute the funds to loyal democrat voters who consume it (while, of course, padding the pockets of the politically connected elite along the way).

According to the delusional left, there’s no problem too large that even larger government can’t solve! Their utopian economy, in fact, is a system where the free market is abolished and replaced by a centrally planned economy which values “equality” above all else.

Our world already has a system like that, by the way. It’s called “Venezuela.” And right now, all the self-righteous Venezuelans who voted for “equality” are eating out of grocery store dumpsters while having their cash criminalized and confiscated by the very same government they stupidly put into power. (Will socialists never learn?)

The greatest “fact” of all is the fact that leftists have increasingly become fact-free lunatics

So let’s cut the crap. Almost everything the lunatic left insists is a “fact” turns out to be a fairy tale or outright lie. Polar bears are going extinct! If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor! Raising taxes on corporations is good for creating jobs! Hillary Clinton believes in honoring the outcome of all democratic elections… except for the ones she loses. And if you lose an election in a democracy, the correct course of action, according to the left, is to keep threatening electoral voters with murder until you get your way.

It turns out that, for the most part, leftists are fact-free lunatics. I could lay out a hundred striking examples of the lunacy and contradictions of the delusional left, but you probably already see many of them yourself. The left has become so deranged and disconnected from reality that their cheap tactics of race baiting and slandering their political opponents simply don’t work anymore.

The political left in America, which was once a semi-respected organization that opposed George Bush’s corporate-run wars and fought to reduce air pollution has become a twisted cabal of deranged fringe lunatics who have already crossed the threshold of mental illness. Now, with the help of Fakebook — which has become the online equivalent of Darth Vader — they’re going to try to steamroll society with a whole new set of fabricated “facts” that will also fail miserably… just like their recent election efforts.

Facts are stubborn things. More importantly, no one has a monopoly on them. Those who try to censor whatever “facts” they don’t agree with will only end up making the things they dispute increasingly popular for the simple reason that human beings are curious about the world around them, and they don’t take kindly to having a homogenized, sanitized worldview shoved down their throats by self-proclaimed “fact checkers” who genuinely belong in a psychiatric ward.

But don’t take my word for anything. After all, everything I’ve written here is merely my opinion. Open your eyes, explore the world for yourself, and make up your own mind. That simple act, by the way, will make you a lifelong enemy of the left… which demands you remain blindly obedient to their “facts” even when your own direct experiences contradict them. Remember: The ultimate goal of the radical left is to make you abandon trust in your own senses, thoughts and logical conclusions. Only then can they dominate your existence with their fabrications that any clear-headed person would instantly see right through.

And yes, its crap, but really, stop giving the weirdo's and demons credibility, for in heaven's realms, they have none. Yea, I don't like this homo getting away with attacking someone, but you're looking at it all wrong.

We assume these homo activists are just being obnoxious. But what if someone coming up in that manner purported bodily harm to us. I think the way we need to regard things like this is as a possible life threatening assault. And, of course take the appropriate countermeasures.

Now what man wearing panties will stand against that?

See, nothing to worry and get worked up about!
