“I do NOT hate them for being rich, but for the way the treat the REAL Mainers”
Trump is one of the few rich people that acts just like a Down to Earth person. I love it when he goes into a fast food restaurant to buy everything to feed the people that are working. He doesn’t turn his nose down at anything and he seems to know what’s there!
ha, love that!
Everyone here has Moonshiner stories
This may have been posted before but I don’t remember. Worth watching again though.

“Texas police have arrested a man in connection to the abduction of a 12-year-old girl who was missing for eight days before she was found safely.”

Thank God she was found alive.

Thank the Lord!
Thanks for the ping!
A good piece of raw prime rib roast is very expensive. To do at home is doable but the very best methods are tedious and most people who like to throw steaks on a grill are usually not willing to patiently do a prime rib
I’ve only done three in my life. Found as a server in younger years and older as hostess, there is a demand for the end cut,
My experience in culinary world has revealed men like rib eyes, women like filet and both like prime rib
Too many tragic endings. Good to see one happy one.

Amen! You nailed it.....
Kind of looks like my area here in the Tri-Cities, WA with the foothills and all.
The top part of Badger Mountain was bought by a local group to prevent more and more houses from building on it and to preserve it for hiking.
"This mountain just outside the town of Richland is nice place for locals and visitors to recreate, with several trails for hiking, biking and equestrian. Views extend in every direction and include mountains as well as agricultural fields. The 574-acre recreation area was purchased in 2003 by Friends of Badger Mountain." "WTA helped the Friends of Badger Mountain build the Canyon Trail on Badger Mountain in 2005. It was WTA’s largest work party up to that time. The initial 18-inch wide trail was dug out by hand in one weekend."

Satan is the father of division and perpetuation of discord. Making it worse guilty parties are prideful and flaunt their attitude of justifying their actions.
It’s worse now than it’s ever been. The lief is destroying this country and our churches, Just look at what they have done sowing the seeds of division within churches and society.

One of the most deadly miscalculations of the Revolutionary War took place at Brier Creek. Military analysts have proffered that this devastating loss may have extended the war by as much as a year.
___________________________________________________________
Patriots lose the Battle of Brier Creek
On this day in history, March 3, 1779, patriots lose the Battle of Brier Creek. British Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell had captured Augusta, Georgia in January, 1778. Gathering American troops across the Savannah River made Campbell nervous, however, and he abandoned Augusta after only three weeks to return to the coast. Archibald was hoping Tory leader John Boyd would join him, but on the march, he learned Boyd was killed and his army of Loyalists routed at the Battle of Kettle Creek.
North Carolina General John Ashe followed Archibald to the bridge over Brier Creek at its confluence with the Savannah River. Archibald had destroyed the bridge and continued south to Ebenezer where he turned his 900 troops over to Lieutenant Colonel Mark Prevost and went on to Savannah.
General Ashe, meanwhile, was camped out in the fork between Brier Creek and the Savannah. Military experts have criticized him for this because it was too easy to be trapped in the fork with no way of escape. Ashe left on February 28 to meet with other generals in South Carolina for orders, leaving command to his subordinates.
Lt. Col. Prevost then devised an attack plan. He would leave a force south of the creek to act as a diversion and march the main body of his troops up the east side of the river during the night. They would cross at Paris’ Mill Bridge upriver from the patriots, surprise them and trap them in the fork. Prevost’s plan worked like a charm. It has been called one of the smartest movements of the entire Revolution.
On March 2, he arrived at Paris’ Mill Bridge to find it destroyed. He knocked down Francis Paris’ home and mill and used the wood to rebuild the bridge. Some of his cavalry skirmished with a small contingent of Ashe’s men on the opposite side of the river, but they did not get back to camp in time to warn them.
General Ashe returned to camp on March 2 as well, not knowing Prevost and 1,500 men were crossing the river a few miles upstream. Ashe had been instructed to wait for the arrival of Generals Lincoln, Williamson and Rutherford. The plan was to destroy the British and drive them back to the coast in an effort to bring the southern occupation to a quick end.
Instead, on March 3, a rider came into Ashe’s camp frantically warning that the British were approaching. The Americans scrambled to get ready, but the British arrived minutes later and quickly overtook the American defenses. Withering cannon and gunfire decimated the Americans. Many green militia members fled into the swamps.
In the end, the Battle of Brier Creek was a disaster. At least 150 Americans were killed and over 200 captured, many drowning in the swamps trying to escape. The British suffered only 5 dead and 11 wounded. The battle destroyed American hopes to quickly end the war in the south. General Ashe was formally charged with cowardice, but exonerated in a court martial. General William Moultrie later wrote that the defeat at the Battle of Brier Creek unnecessarily extended the war by an entire year.

About ready to find the sandman… but first something different ~~~
You heard the stories – bullfights in Spain, African safaris, deep-sea fishing in Cuba. Hemingway painted himself as the ultimate adventurer, all rough edges and a shot of whiskey for breakfast. But under that swagger, the man was a battlefield.
His mind held the trenches of the Great War – the screams, the mud that swallowed men whole. Those nights, when sleep was a cruel joke, the memories clawed their way back. The bottle helped...for a while. But every drink brought its own kind of ruin.
The dark moods would descend, steal his joy, leave him an empty shell sitting at a typewriter he suddenly didn’t know how to use. But he had to be Hemingway, the writer, the legend. So, he’d perform, spin up those stories, and the world would cheer.
His loves were tempests – passionate and doomed. They never seemed built to last, not with his demons always lurking. Then there was the pain, a relentless companion from old war wounds, plane crashes, all those hard-lived miles.
In his brighter days, the words still came, sharp and true like a perfectly aimed bullet. He wrote about men facing impossible odds, just like he did with every sunrise. That’s the thing no one really saw, the writer’s courage was born from his own long, private war.
The end...it came too quick, too brutal. A shotgun blast that echoed the violence he’d always flirted with. They say it was an accident, or maybe that’s what’s easier to believe. Fact is, some battles leave scars no one else can see, and even the strongest warriors break in the end.
