After all of the anarchist TBPers have assembled at Hardscrabble’s farm today to celebrate our right to freedom of expression, drink some beer and eat a newly slaughtered pig, will our friendly neighborhood totalitarian government enforcers join us? Serving and protecting is what they do. The great July 4th barbecue insurrection could be as bad as the January 6th Selfie insurrection. Happy Independence Day!!!!

Please avoid using flammable tear gas near the grill. One would hate to hear about a conflagration like the bottom photo. Have a great 4th everyone, and remember, it is a day to celebrate SECESSION from an oppressive ruler…..something that is an AMERICAN tradition, and not something to be shied away from. Sometimes you just have to say good bye.
Happy Independence Day…..at least remove your mask.
To bad the name has already been taken. I’d say that Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is as close to Party Central as you can get. Have a great Independence Day celebration, one and all.
Absolutely!
Sounds like just another weekend get together.
Helpful to have at least one nurse/paramedic in attendance, as well.
The cops came. Jim Quinn fought valiantly for Freedom. Unfortunately, he never fired a rifle before.
R.I.P. You were my fucken hero.
But, Avalon avenged her lover!
Then Mygirl took out a bunch of ’em.
We actually have that shotgun. And Avalon is a better shot than me.
Girls, guns and bikinis. Murika! Fuck yeah! Happy 4th everyone!
Good ole Christian values! Hurrah! Worship the liberated snatch, my pretties.
God made pretty girls. And he made guns. It is what it is.
LOL!
Despite all my best efforts and Fauxi’s fearmongering, people seem to be coming back together.
Sorry, Joe, I would rather watch a Cardi B video than tag the White House.
Boy, that is an invitation for some juvenile high-jinks if there ever were one.
Instead of 30 blocks of squalor you can discuss 30 blocks of pasture.
Have a freedom loving day!
discuss 30 blocks of pasture
Whilst doing the cow paddy two-step.
Perhaps a game of baseball with cowpie bases?
Slidin’ into home would be a whole new experience. Well, for some…
why not just an old fashioned cow paddy fight?
Have a great time guys. I wish I could have made it.
Me too. Hopefully next year if it happens. I wish then joy and fellowship.
Ditto. Get to hang out inside in Phoenix.
104 degrees and humid. Maybe t-storms later.
104 in Phoenix in July is a cold front. Any wind chill?
I hope you all have a wonderful day at HSF’s homestead. I wish the wife and I could be there.
Happy Independence day!
If I could’ve made it there, I would be there. Here’s to a shared toast and wishing all attendees a grand and glorious time….
Best wishes to all the gathered TBPers at Marc’s Farm and my best to all the defiant who refuse to submit, cower or be silenced.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I will enjoy this vicariously, and heartily wish I could be there!
I look forward to the after-party posts.

True story. Yesterday I’m trimming bushes with a hand trimmer. There’s a particularly large reddish thorn bush, about 6 feet high, right along the driveway, just a foot or two from where I open the car door. Damned thing grows 2 -3 inches every friggen week. I hate it but, dad loved it so there’s no way in hell I can cut it down.
Anyway, I’m clipping along, when I suddenly feel a sharp pain on my left wrist. I assumed I just pricked my wrist on a thorn. But, just a few seconds later, another prick on my arm … then one on my stomach. WTF???
Hornets!! Maybe wasps, I don’t know the difference. Deep inside the bush, not visible from just looking at the bush, was a nest about the size of a small cantaloupe. Mother fuckers!
So, I went inside, put some ice on my three pricks, and some ointments. Really didn’t know what the hell I was doing. But, it worked. The pain went away after about 10 minutes. Now what? Revenge time!
I didn’t have any of that anti-wasp spray. I did have gasoline. So, I filled a glass with gas, dumped it over the nest, and set it on fire. Fuck. I didn’t realize how dry that thorn bush was. As soon as the match hit the nest … WOOSH!!, it was completely engulfed in flames (it’s pretty dry also). As was the bush. Fuck. Half the bush is now toast. Not kidding. Glad dad isn’t here to see that.
Believe it not, today I have a small twinge of remorse. I don’t know how many innocent hornet lives died yesterday in that inferno. Hundreds, maybe? Women and children also? Such a tragic loss of life. BUT, that fucken nest, as I said, is just a foot or two from the driveway … and if they ever stung mom, that would be a huge problem. I justifiably killed to protect family. I had no choice.
Still this morning when I walked past it, there were STILL about a dozen or so hornets flying around the bush, even going into the bush, really … looking for their home. I created homeless hornets. I will pray that they find a new dwelling place … in someone else’s yard. They better not decide to Build Back Better in the same spot. I got family to protect.
put some ice on my three pricks
So that’s why you spank the Stucky Monkey so much.
Koon-killer, hornet-hitter; is there no end to your depravity?
The deer are next.
This shithole state is absolutely overrun with deer. I am sick and tired of them eating all the pretty plants in the yard …. not to mention all the deer shit pellets all over the lawn.
But, they run fast. And I don’t. I have some contacts amongst the Coon Families that I could enlist.
You know what we do to coons out here, don’t you?
Oh, and I have good news for you: God gave you dominion over the hornets. Kill ’em as you need to.
That’s not depravity, that’s grocery shopping.
Stucky: Well, damn, seems to a time for destroying innocent creatures. I had mice in my van AND my stove. The ample rains seemed to have inspired their multiplying, so, I set those spring traps, baited with peanut butter. Little fokkers managed to eat the peanut butter and not spring the trap. I had mixed feelings about trapping/killing them since I’m an animal lover, protector of God’s creatures, the big, the small, bullfrogs and raccoons and so on, and I considered live trapping them except those take awhile and rarely work.
I then read where they could eat the wiring in the van and it would cost over two thousand or more to repair the van ditto for having to buy a new stove. Soooo, I bought glue traps and caught them and dispatched them with a shovel rather than letting them starve or dehydrate and suffer for days if left stuck to the trap. I console myself with images of the mouse plague in Australia, a reminder of how unchecked rodent populations can multiply.
Dear Lord you need to do that at night. And with kerosene. Birdshot works as well. Or both.
Do you have more remorse about the hornets or the racoon?
Easy. The racoon. Racoons are fellow mammals. They have a brain that probably has feewings. They’re kinda cute. Not only that, the racoon really never did anything bad to me.
Hornets are ugly brainless insects. And they hurt me. Fuckers.
Next time, soapy water. Works almost as quick as the spray stuff. As a beekeeper I also recommend ice for stings. Maybe some benedryl pills (and a nap) if it’s swelling a little.
If it’s an underground nest go out at dusk and flood it with a gallon of water mixed with a cup of Dawn dish detergent. Let it soak in for half an hour then go back when it is good and dark with another gallon of water, a good flashlight, and a source of compressed air-even a shop vac blowing in reverse will do it. Shove the hose in the hole, dump in the water and turn the air on-it becomes a bubble machine and will fill the interior of the next with soapy bubbles-especially the upside-down nest at the highest point inside the hole. Repeat every 45 minutes or so, or however long it takes to drink another beer. May take a night or two, but will eventually coat all the wasps with Dawn, which destroys their exoskeleton covering, leading to their demise. Also works with a squirt bottle on nests in more visible locations-but best done after sundown as wasps have poor vision then.
Stuck, your dad would be proud!!!
good story–
fyi, ammonia will usually neutralize insect bites–
Cut a raw onion and put on bee sting . Might work for wasp IDK.
That’s way too dramatic, Stuckey. Next time, do something that you have experience with. Beat the nest to death with a two by four. You know how to do it, you’ve had success in the past with that technique. And then report back to us.
Agreed.
Was worried about watering the garden, it rained all weekend. My truck broke down, suit was at the cleaners, an old friend came in from out of town. Stucky could not make it. But I Love you.
It is a holidY WEEKEND, you know all those federale woikers need the time off.
They will get you at the toll booth or later at home, alone.
Well,hope all have a nice day celebrating the countries birth.
I also hope no fed response to farm fest 2021,hope the weather holds off for ya’s but sure you will figure it out.
Oh,and for cripes sake blow something up today,it’s the 4th!
Dear Lord, please watch over the TBP folks at Hardscrabble’s. I wish I could have been one of the lucky few!
Have fun guys and remember, it ain’t a party til someone throws up…..carry on. 🙂
I donated a fifth to Hardscrabble’s party . Does anybody know that? Probably not enough.
On my bucket list…once the kids are old enough to leave at home. So, do you all wear nametags with your poster name, or…??
Happy birthday USA and my fellow TBP rebels. May go to one of these cookouts some year, but I just cant bring myself to be cololcated with my fellow HVT from the Platform just yet.
ZFG, out.
P.S. Make the works of fire big and loud.
Unbelievable Footage Shows Cow Asking Man To Save Calf
Gotta call bullshit on the title. She in no way is ‘asking for help’. She’s obviously not an aggressive cow, but she was definitely not happy with this guy messing with her baby. At one point, when she was pawing, she was considering coming through the fence at him. Been there. Many times.
She was trying her best to get the calf to come under the fence on his own. Dave just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Depending on the type of electric fence charger (the ones from New Zealand are real bastards) you and the cow can definitely get lit up.
Oh, yeah… I’ve had some run ins with some high power bull fences, the kind that can cover 50 miles. I peed on one when I was about 3 or 4. Never did that again.
Don’t get me wrong – I would’ve put the calf back through also. Good for him. It’s just the anthropomorphisizing title that bugs me. You know, like Bambi. That Disney BS has caused more trouble than most people realize.
I’m totally with you
I hope all of TBP family has a wonderful celebration today wherever you are. Be safe and take time to really think what the founders gave the American people. Let us not allow that gift and the lives given to found and defend this nation be in vain.
I envy Americans. We were told all Canada to be ashamed of ourselves.
