I love it.
There is a line in the movie ‘The Wind and The Lion’, great movie by the way, where the American ambassador is talking to head of whatever country they are in about building a road across the desert. The Arab guys says, “You can’t build a road across the desert, the sand will swallow it up.” The ambassador takes a long puff off a big cigar, looks at the guy and says, ‘Sir we’re Americans we can do anything.’ Almost brought the house down. Still one of my favorite lines from a movie.
Would love to see this country get back to that mentality.
The Wind and The Lionbttt
I remember when Donald Trump went into Central Park and hired a team that got it’s skating rink rebuilt.
“Donald J. Trump refurbished the Central Park -skating rink two and a half months ahead of his own speedy six-month schedule and $750,000 below his own projected $3 million budget, having taken over the project after the city spent six years and $12 million unsuccessfully trying to get the job done.”
How? He didn’t meed to use the city bureaucrats and all their red tape.
Government bureacrats and the contractors they make agreements with are joined in making any project cost more than necessary and take longer needed.
Yes, they will be charged with something and the road will be torn out by the government.
Immediately after the Deep State steals the election for Harris and following the arrest of Trump and Company she’ll sic the DOJ on these rednecks for insurrecting.
Trump and Rogan talked about the environmental impact nonsense. Trump said that all the business leaders he’s spoken to said that getting rid of the excessive regulation would be even more helpful than lowering the taxes. The regulations absolutely kill any progress on anything. But the lawyers push this crap because it insures that they will make a lot of money forever.
Gathering evidence.
I you ever notice that when a tornado hits a town in the great plains that the roads and streets are usually cleared off before the media or FEMA gets there, thanks to the rednecks with frontend loaders?
THIS is the America I know and love! People can just get out there and get it done instead of waiting on bureaucracy to screw you over.
Men can be glorious.
Just saw Danny Carey taking on the Bruford role playing 80's Crimson. My buddy and I expected to be disappointed, but he was fantastic.

To build something substantial that will stand for a long time and be used by others.
I heard Bill Bruford (one of the great prog-rock drummers: Yes & King Crimson) talk about a stone bridge he helped build in the 1960s. He still takes pride in it standing today.
Thank you for this post.
Good post.

Well said! Let men be real men and get out of their way!
The fact is, we can. But government is in the way.
My guess is with deer season near, the scoped rifles are ready.
