Reminder, be peaceful, not harmless.

On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history. The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet. Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention. He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette. He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents. A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.

Today is KILLDOZER DAY. Once more we are reminded that every man has his limists. On this date in 2004, Marvin John Heemeyer reached his and unleashed his vengeance upon those he viewed as his oppressors, destroying everything in his path but taking only a single life - his own Too many people have been informed about this from the awful Netflix "documentary" that interviewed only his enemies and ignored the hundreds of hours of tapes Heemeyer left behind. Strongly suggest you watch The Lore Lodge for a better breakdown

Happy Killdozer Day! Sometimes reasonable men, must do unreasonable things.

Morning.

A CH-47 just passed over the farm, and yes, I stopped what I was doing and watched it fly past.

Yes it is THAT Hilux

"Americans aged 18 to 29 read an average of 5.8 books in 2025, the lowest of any generation." The industry has responded with "companion books" - AI summaries that allow people to pretend they've read. They're pushing you toward illiteracy. Push back! kristinmctiernan.com/compani…
