In October we took a half a day to split wood. Enough to keep us in firewood for a while. We had our first fire in the fire place on Oct 31. It really felt good, I have a relaxing feeling come over me when there is a fire in the fire place. I sat there thinking here we go into winter. I am glad we made it this far, I have had a lot of friends fall along the wayside in the last two years. Dave Noel was my most hurtful one this year, so far. I lost three out of my Business Club  in recent years. Anyway this is the time to be thankful. Christmas is coming and I have not done any shopping, our grand children have all the biggest tows there is already. The boys on the farm  have their own horses. The other Grandchildren are easier to buy for. Of course in our business world charities are coming out of the woods. There is a lot of needy children out there this Christmas. Try to help!

Going into next year very soon I will say I have laid my trust in the right people this year. The two I always have to mention is Nick Navetta with (Edward Jones) and Christine Calvert Healthcare Insurance Specialist. I Trust these two completely. They have proven records in my book and It is hard to earn that position with me! I do business with people NOT businesses, if you trust someone it is easy to do business. Continue reading →

WOW if you look on the internet there is a lot of positive and negative writings about Charlie Kirk. (My opinion) I think he brought a light to young people who have been almost brain washed by teachers, professors and social media.

There are many more patriotic teachers and professors than Anti-America teachers. Many years ago I wrote that I could not understand why we allow so many students from other countries to be educated here, when they graduate they go back and use their education to try to destroy us.

I think Charlie opened the door to help young people who were afraid to speak up and explained them selves about the teachings of Christianity.

He probably was not a perfect guy but he believed in what he was saying and good at it. I don’t think he was a rouge, he was a bit like our president,  but when Trump  says he is going to do something he does it! If people out there don’t believe him watch out the hammer of hell could befall upon you! Continue reading →

This is a true story. When I was a little boy we were being raised Dania Beach Florida by my Grand Mother while our parents worked out of town at the Boca Raton Hotel. One day just before Christmas my friend and I were playing near

the Railroad tracks. We were bare footed. I jump off a little hill and landed on a broken beer bottle. It cut my heal pretty bad. I could see everything inside, my tendon was almost severed. The other boy piggy back me to the road and ran to the Fire Chiefs house. Luckily the Fire Chiefs home was close by. He

wrapped my ankle, there was a lot of blood.  He picked me up, put me in his truck and took me to my house where my grandmother was. They could tell they could not fix the wound. So the fire Chief took me to a clinic in the next town Hollywood. If the tendon was almost severed back in them days if it was severed you were crippled. They managed to get clamps on my tendon and pull it back into place and staple it. My parents were called. They picked me up at the clinic and I was told I would not be able to start walking for at least two months. Continue reading →

Dunnellon use to be my wooded quiet Oasis, not any more on Sundays once or twice a month I can hear auto magic weapons going off while people are practicing with their gun. Probably illegal gun. Abandon railroad bed not track no rail road ties just the rail road bed. People thin it’s OK to shoot into the bank of dirt. Most of those people don’t have any gun safety classes.

When a city person comes to the woods they think they can shoot ion any direction, please look around there are houses in those woods!

Have you ever noticed the words they use on the internet to get you to read there info?

Trump just dropped a bomb shell

Caught on Camera

Shocking

Caught in explosive power struggle

Final warning

The hidden tax

Government shut down delayed

I am getting use to to reading the explosive words.

I received a call one day that a veteran just outside the Villages Sumter County side needed help. Apparently this veteran managed to buy a new mobile home. The mobile home company set up the mobile home put a regular pair of stairs in the front and left. The veteran was in a wheel chair. Someone got him in the home but he had no way to get out. I was ask to help because I had run into this problem before. I called the mobile home company and they refused without the vet paying money. I called a guy I met that helped Veterans and they went to the church and got a volunteer group together. We got the lumber company to donate four sheets of plywood and some 2 by 4’s and they went to work. It was a smart the way to make the ramp 3 sheets of plywood long 24 ft ramp and the top deck was the fourth sheet of plywood. The Veteran was happy he could get in and out without any trouble. Here comes code enforcement, the volunteers did everything wrong and was not being very co-opertive. I told the volunteers to go to the next Board meeting which I attended with my camera, it was not long the approval came through. It seems as though there was just a couple of minor adjustments and the Veteran was good to go. Continue reading →

THANK YOU CHARLIE KIRK!

Thank you for helping the young and old break away from decades of the Radical Left! He has shown them another way to believe. He would invite them up and give them a voice to debate with him and he would try to explain his side and some times the other person would see it! The one he did very successfully was showed them Christianity, show them about Jesus and God!

Charlie and his team showed young and confused something the world has lost “belief in GOD”. I believe everyone who believes in God will be right about their religion as long as you believe. Some don’t believe in God. I have known two people in my life that did not believe. Neither was educated beyond High School. Both are gone but before they passed they were praying to God to forgive them. When people call me out about God, I ask them questions. How do you think the world was formed and life evolved? One said being came down from outer space and started a colony. I say OK That was God! Then I ask them another question and there are so many story about the creation of our world. There are many things I don’t understand. But I try to send them to a scholar that can explain how things happened and what to expect.

It is and has always been the belief of our newspaper “that everyone has the right to see their opinion in print.” Keep it short and send it to me. tloury@att.net Continue reading →

Going through life we are behind the steering wheel and with God’s help we take a choice of what road to take. Some are good and some are not so good. But remember this in this world of ours we are competing with EVIL! We have Al’s helping us do that because it understands as we do “if we don’t win we have lost it all for ever!”

In looking at what is evil it some times comes as a gentle soul, Challenged by their feelings and manipulated by the bad people or country’s. A business that looks like it is trying to help you… I hate to tell you to be skeptical but some not good intentions. Always sit with your back against the wall. Always have something to deter the bad person. Plan what you will do if and when Evil comes and Evil will come in some form. The young lady on the train that a guy stab her in the throat, she was totally relaxed and distracted. The bad guy hit for no reason but the opportunity. Maybe if she had a spray or something to help her fight off the attacker she might have survived. Continue reading →

I did not know Charlie James Kirk, but what I had heard and what I saw made me curious, so I started researching him. I was watching TV the day he got assassinated. While combing the internet, I was very surprised at what I found. He and his team of believers help Trump get elected by motivating young people into voting and voting for Trump. Millions of people heard him before I did, then I saw him on TV with Trump. I think at the first time I saw him on TV there was doubt that he could deliver the youth vote, HE DID! TRUMP WON!

He was born October. 14, 1993. He grew up in Chicago suburbs. He attended Harper college. He dropped out after the first semester.    He wanted to pursue a full time political career. Its was not long before he was considered an American right Wing Activist, he was also an entrepreneur and a TV / media    personality. Charlie’s co-founder of Turning Point USA was Pastor Rob McCoy in 2012. That was when he created Turning Point Faith and was talking about Christian nationalism. He became the executive Director of Turning Point until he died. Charlie was quit accomplished, he published books. He hosted the “Charlie Kirk Show” He became a prominent voice of the Republican Party and Prominent Voice of the MAGA movement as part of the Republican Party! He was considered an icon of American contemporary conservatism.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO THANK CHARLIE KIRK IN PRINT!  (IT’S FREE!) Send me a short note and I will use your first name only unless you request otherwise.  tloury@att.net  subject line “Charlie Kirk”

I have heard & read many tax payers complaining online about Marion County Taxes affecting their monthly payments on their Mortgage. (Especially the elderly. The area was from Rainbow Springs, OTOW, Lake Tropicana Estates, Rainbow Lakes estates, Rainbows Inn, Marion Oaks and several others in Ocala along 200. When the county raises the taxes it raises the value of their home then the insurance Company can raise their prices, leaving the home owners at the mercy of the insurance Company’s and maybe the mortgage company. Go online and look at the fore closers in Marion. Marion County is going to be named the most expensive county to live in Florida. When you call the county says you if you make less than a curtain amount per year you can apply. NO it should be the Insurance Company’s should give the people over 65 a rebate at the end of the year to help pay the taxes the county just raised again! Please Marion County Board of Directors, read the letter I sent you, or did it go into the trash that we have to pay for.

From information on news media of all kinds! Gathered by TomL

On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, Conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder A political activist, author, and media personality, was fatally shot while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. A lot of the media was not very kind to him and his purpose in life. At a very young age he decided to try to help change the world or at least America. He started several organizations to help educate the college students about American History and our beilifs. He was very convincing to the point many of the political leaders say he helped get Trump elected because he believed that Trump was the one to make change.

In the past I did not know a lot about Charlie Kirk so I’m finding out more now. I saw him on FOX news but I did not know how selfless he was. He believed in God and so do I. He believed in debating young college students so they would examine their thoughts about politics instead of believing what they are told by their Professors! I am looking at who was he and what was. In the news I have heard different reporter. They called him… Continue reading →
