| I'm sorry but I like being able to walk in the grocery store and just pick out what I want to eat. Guess I am just spoiled that way. Thank you farmers for making my life so darn easy. |

How to make friends and influence your enemies. LOL
Peggy I think you have a crush on little Mike! Ha Ha Ha!!! Seriously though, I've been thinking about this. I can totally see how a Bernie supporter would hate this guy even more than Trump. Here Bernie is finally off to a good start with his vision of a socialist utopia. Along comes Mike and he totally overwhelms the primaries because of his staggering wealth. All the negative snippets of his past can be totally expunged purely through his wealth. This could produce the most unlikely bizarre, strange bedfellows in the annals of political history, if you think about it. |

          Location: Bastrop, Texas | I've never been a corn farmer. Is that what you do in the spring? You go out in a field with a bag of seed, "dig a hole, drop in a seed, cover it up, add water, and the corn grows"? Maybe Mike has a point...that's all there is to it, I guess.
Right? |

        Location: Ky | Bloomberg was a republican, (or that might have been his "independent" phase?), when he made those stupid comments. He's only been a DINO since 2018. And since the dan bongong crowd doesn't mind stupid comments by republicans then why are they up in arms about these?

Wrong....he made plenty of stupid remarks as a Democrat. Get used to it there JD.....Bloomberg will be your candidate. The rest are just a pathetic little carnival show. Mike will cannibalize them and not even belch. |

The Dems are just a bunch of unhappy people, that's way ole Bloomberg jumped ship to join them, he likes being a hateful miserable ole man, he cant stand all the happy happy people that are born leaders. Trump just always has a good smile that makes others want to smile with him.. TRUMP 2020  |

Love him. LOL He's showing the world that dems don't care about the optics if the person calls themselves a dem. Case in point; Gov Northam and the Lt Governor for different reasons. I guess Me Too doesn't work in this case. The people that do care are #walkingaway from the dems toward our side. Because Bloomberg is so stinking rich and he's helping their side; they will love him no matter what. They have to stop Bernie. He takes the heat off the DNC for interferring at the convention. Mark my words if Bernie is "the guy", they will interfer. LOL What a great time to be alive and see all this unfold. I used to be anything but a politics lover. But I find myself fascinated by it now. I watched congressional hearing on youtube last night with SOS Pompeo from 2018. I really like that guy. I think he would make a terrific POTUS in 2024.    |

I was at a Texas Roadhouse in West Wichita when Mike Pompeo and his wife wandered in with some friends. They sat across the petition from my husband and I. I wanted so badly to speak to him and shake his hand but just couldn't conjure up the nerve to approach him. I didn't want to bother him. Stupid nerves........ |

It would take a pretty good portion of MB's wealth just to purchase the equipment that it takes to work the soil and harvest the crops. I mean that is if he decided to take up farming. |

| A lot of people outside the farming/ranching community don't realize it takes the same kinda mind t0 manage a large farm as it does to manage a large business and keep it sucessful through challenging times. It just depends on what kind of "office" someone is happy in. Years ago, when my brother (a farm boy) was graduating from college with a degree in chemical engineering, he was approached by a large textile company to come to work in management. The company flew my brother and mother out to tour the facility and hear the sales pitch. My mother asked "why do you want my son?" Their response was very telling. Along with the fact that he was on top in his class, they wanted him BECAUSE he was a farm kid. As a company, they had realized that farm kids are not only responsible and hard workers, but also problem solvers who look at the whole picture to fix something, often with what is at hand versus throwing something away for new. Farm kids understand the value of a dollar and to take the profits from one year to help grow profits for the next. They understand mechanical things and how to make processes flow more smoothly. My brother did excel in management and problem solving. He became an international trouble shooter for Hanes, and now does the same job for Fruit of the Loom. His job has took him to many countries and has paid him well. Part of his "benefits" of the job is the agreement that in the spring and the fall he gets large chunks of time off to plant and harvest as the weather allows. Because this internatinal businessman is still a farm boy at heart- and he comes "home" to nurish his roots.

       Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | President Trump held a rally in CA last night. In farm country. I listened to it on Youtube. I had tears in my eyes for how much he cares about us and how lucky we are to have him. Ordinary people trying to meet the challenges we face every day due in large part to the liberal/leftist policies that target what makes America different from any other country. He's a problem solver. They desperately need more water and a consistent supply. He's smoothing and clearing a path to being able to use the water that is there already, while not ignoring the environmental issues. The next big project he's got planned is upgrading our infrastructure. There have been no new and minimal maintenance on existing dams, etc for decades. He's keeping his promises. It's really sad that is such an anomoly. While Oregon's liberal douchbag is talking about ripping out dams that provide electricity and irrigation water for the farmers. They have no solutions to any problems that don't take us back to the early 1900's before the major improvements in our society. In contrast Bloomberg and the rest of the commies talk down to large groups of people. Telling us we are nothing. Useless eaters. They don't respect us. They are telling us they are going to take away what we hold dear. Our way of life guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They show us every day how they hate us. Why don't people believe them? For your morning giggle. https://nypost.com/2020/02/19/nevada-democratic-debate-was-the-greatest-debate-in-human-history/?fbclid=IwAR0jKBfHQoBdEqKvN4PqPaYIPm2PIIwOYZTaU4Bem8-FvHuAbDxCGhRKCaE |
