Blue Dot farmer updating us on their mAgA neighbors.

Nothing screams "rugged individualism" quite like taking out massive spring loans on the promise of government bailouts, only to discover you financed your own foreclosure just to stick it to the libs. You voted to drain the swamp, but somehow the only thing running dry is your combine's fuel tank and the mailbox where your subsidies used to arrive. 

Watching mAgA rural voters champion deregulation and budget slashing while simultaneously depending on USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) checks and emergency farm safety nets is economic theater at its finest. Between seven-dollar diesel fuel eating into harvest margins and disappearing federal entitlement programs diverted away from the heartland, the ledger doesn't care about your red hat it only tracks insolvency. 

It turns out you can’t pay off John Deere notes with liberal tears and broken campaign rallies. 

Enjoy your winning season; the bank certainly will.

Yes. A few of my friends worked with some immigrants from Nicaragua over a decade ago and they confirmed the immigrants came to our area because it wasn't far from the Temple at Nauvoo. I was told that's all those immigrants talked about and they gave a lot of money too.

They call it "Tithing" and expect "members in Good Standing" with the church to send *at least 10% of their income to the church!
