Something occurred to me by watching this short video.

The American people need a way to quickly cite text and verse of legislative language for bills under consideration or already in the legislative record in the same way that they can post a tinyURL link to a twitter video or a section of a wikipedia article. The technology exists today to do it, the legislative language is structured in a way that creating a reference is easy, but whenever I see some sort of legislative language actually referenced, it is a screenshot or a “look at page ### of this bill” and it’s a copy on scribd or some other copy.

The only reason this isn’t this directly accessible in 2021 is because Congress doesn’t want it to be accessible. Congress also doesn’t want anyone to know “who” inserts various sections of language because it would quickly expose the drug deals they make to get bills passed, but someone writes all the 2000 page bills, often entire sections are pushed in already in legislative language by lobbying groups and PACs tied to donors.

Getting access to this information, including a trail of markups with attribution for where each section came from and which legislator or staffer put it in, is really kind of trivial as a coding exercise, I would bet (any former congressional staffers can correct me if I’m wrong) that this information is already in the internal congressional legislative markup system.

Making this level of transparency normal (especially if there was some way to do away with the Pelosi/Schumer style of pushing 2000 page bills through to votes with no plausible means of knowing what is in them) would change the way that the public is able to understand what their government is doing and how it operates. It can’t change how their representatives vote, but it can certainly make it harder to hide specific items from the public that has to pay for them.

You can’t black market cows. I have a ranch in Texas. Recently I had to explain that what the Assessor drone recorded as a “structure” was a 10X12ft temporary shade cover erected by hunters who lease part of the ranch for deer hunting.

You can’t hide.

I say let them do it. Then next year, we can elect a bunch of RINO’s who will miss repealing it by one vote from newly re-elected Liz Cheney.

Only rich people will eat beef.


First, the Progressives make the prices go through the roof. Then they turn around and tell everyone that it was not “sustainable”. Just brilliant.

So after the last 2 years of going from

“2 weeks to flatten the curve” to 2 jabs to keep your job you still live in denial of what is happening around you?

We kept a dairy goat for 10 years. At her peak she milked 2 gallons a day. About a gallon normalized output. She ate weeds, brush, and kitchen scraps. She was the best security alarm ever. She got nasty with any stranger stepping foot on the property.

She eventually lost her sight with old age. We shed a tear and ate her in a nice curry and chutney.

“will oppose or certainly lose their job during the next cycle.”

What do they care? They get the payoff in big bucks and can go and live their lives in comfort.

A 1000 lb beef cow will dress out to about 650 lbs.

Just add 7 bucks to each pound of meat you buy today and you will have the cost with this tax.

This cartoon says it all:

From the killer vaccines that fill your bod with deadly spike proteins (have you seen the microscopy slides, do a search) to this anti-life bill, they are out to depopulate.

No, not community college but to university as an historically underprivileged demographic.

Agriculture is based on energy pricing. you won’t have to wait and see if this bill passes. The crisis is in front of you.
UAN 28% now $505/T (corn sans land now $638/acre to produce)
No Beef. No Pork
A hungry populace is a compliant populace.
Sorry, America, you voted for this.

Please tell me this is not true. I’ll have to start shooting Democrats to save the planet.
