CELEBRATING INDEPENDENCE DAY

Guest Post by VietVet

To celebrate this Independence Day

I cut up a tree

It came down in the storms last week, snapping off at the ground apparently rotted.

Yellow poplar (aka tulip tree) about sixty feet of trunk and another 25 feet of limbs.

I brought out the tractor with chipper attached, log jack, chain saw, limb saw and went to work.

I limbed it first, then limbed the limbs. Fired up the saw and ate through two chains getting it cut into rounds. The first chain got so hot and stretched I ran out of bar on the saw, forcing me to change the chain.

Then I fed the limbs into the chipper and made a yard of mulch for the garden.

That tree had blooms all over it and by the time I had it dissected I reeked of yellow poplar and was completely soaked through my clothes squishy socks and all.

The job done ✅ I cracked open my first Sam Adams at 10 AM. I’m pretty sure it’s five o’clock somewhere

So why tell this story?

It’s because my choice of how to celebrate liberty, freedom and equality under the law is how an American man lives his life every single day.

By doing what’s required, not running from a difficult, messy and challenging task. Tackling it head on.

You’ll never ever see an American refugee.

Because American men will do what’s required

We don’t run from a fight

Celebrate your liberty

Your freedom

And remember those that paid the price for our Independence

Happy Independence Day America

Save the wood Vet. A week ago I passed on some info about south Florida freezing evidently in the 1700s; and north Australia freezing at a latitude last week as far as “Cuba”. This week, South Africa froze as far as “Cuba” . The Modern GSM is real but Global Cooling is censored by the government and MSM but Global Warming is a in your face conspiracy to freeze Useful Idiots (no problem there). Multiple things are contributing to Global Cooling and Natural Disasters such that it will become multiple times worse over the next 3 plus years, probably 30, possibly 250 and even maybe 90,000. Given the number of Useful Idiots that lurk here and the dirth of intelligent comments to my comments, I’m not so sure all Conservative TBP’s are taking this seriously enough.

large parts of s fla froze as recently as within the last 10 years–
wasn’t it you who made the comment about you’re in trouble if not within 250 miles of the equator?
if it was you,how about some more info–

Yes, someone explained that in an Ice Age (there have been 20 of them lasting about 90,000 years each over the last 2 million years), there are two weather cells instead of three (Polar, Ferrel, Hadley) and the winds are steady cold and dry from the west. The North is the Laurantide Ice Sheet, the central continent will be mostly tundra and grass, the SE will be mixed forest, a lot of Florida will be sand dunes and the people mostly survived on oysters and seafood. Rainfall will usually only support agriculture about 250 miles either side of the equator. The Climate will still vary between cold and colder over centuries. The Africa and Asia populations will fare better than the Americas.

Global cooling aka mini ice age is a given with the multitude/swarm of volcanic eruptions at one time going off around the world. It would be a miracle from God if we did not go into a cooling period in the next few years, be prepared.

This is however the first time that WE have had the ability with HAARP to heat the ionosphere and boost the surface temperature. Without this technology, we would be up the proverbial creek. Starvation may still be a huge problem.

Florida was frozen in the 1700’s because we did not leave the last mini ice age until the 1860’s. Russia and Europe will be in worse shape than we.

There isn’t enough technology in the West as a Whole to overcome the cold that’s coming in the next decade even if one or more Super Volcanoes do NOT blow up. “Z” is right that the Third World is more able to survive than Useful Idiots; “Western Civilizations” (esp northern areas) are not preparing (except for the Elite and their DUMBs) and are about to undergo another collapse cycle like the Hindu, Maya etc say. Conservatives have a better chance; God help us: do it for the children.

“…dirth of intelligent comments…”

Too funny. It’s dearth.

I reckon the phantom oil didn’t help your spelling abilities.

Bullshit. As soon as a bully emerges that is capable of doing to the US what it has done to Libya (just to name one of many), the world will be flooded with American refugees looking for a handout. Anyone who thinks Americans are special in any way is a moran.

On second thought, Americans do excel at belief in entitlement and a lack of empathy towards others, so there is that.

You seriously need to meet some Rural Christian Southerners and Westerners because you are describing the Yankee FSA Urban Jungles, not us (PS: We generally agree with you about them).

Today, I killed an angry groundhog trapped in my mother-in-law’s machine shed. It was a mean bastard too; like a tiny grizzly.
I went out and pinned it’s wittle neck down with a pitchfork and severed its spine with a spade.

Maybe not as badass as Stucky taking on a trio of raccoons with a two-by-four, but still, the remote onlookers were impressed.

I have a dog who ignores squirrels, rabbits, cats, anything except people who dare to cross into his territory and..groundhogs. Groundhogs are his nemesis. Every spring he would dump groundhog babies at our doorstep. One day he came home with his nose all torn up. We figure the mother finally got him when he was trying to steal her babies.

“By doing what’s required, not running from a difficult, messy and challenging task. Tackling it head on.”
– really? All evidence to the contrary these days.

“You’ll never ever see an American refugee.”
– Around 7 million have abandoned the US for greener pastures already

“We don’t run from a fight”
– You have seen millennials, right? I posted a vid recently showing the antifa pussies running en masse from a fight

“And remember those that paid the price for our Independence”
– and what Independence would that be? Being a slave forced to support the unworthy at the barrel of a gun? Being taxed by untold layers of govt so as to redistribute what rightfully belongs to you? Being milked for the benefit of untold numbers of special interests?

But hey! USA! USA! USA!
