Sabel Trail Transmission Line which is the gas line but they want to hide the name Gas Line is trying to intrude again. They say they want our approval to use our land again. They came onto our land the first time and started doing studies on turtle and lizards with no regard to the land owner. They even sent a turtle handler??? I met him when I went and ask each one of them what their title was while they were all in my woods leaning up against a truck.

I recently had a visitor in my drive way by one of the Sabel Trail  Gas Line employees. He told me he was a preacher from two county’s away. He was surveying how people felt about the gas line. He took notes when I said I was going to lawyer up. But I am waiting until I see the pathway, but they have already expressed the fact that they want to go along side of the existing gas line which through my farm on two parcels. They want permission now to survey and come on my land. They said they would not start the project until 2029. Don’t believe it. They have never told the truth before. I think they are saying that because an attorney would not want to wait three year for their money. Continue reading →

I have added publisher notes all through this that did not appear in the Gettysburg address but should have!

Citizens have rights and freedom in this country because those who came before you and fought for your freedom and some died! Don’t take voting lightly.

The phrase “of the people, by the people, for the people” defines a true democracy where the power of the government comes from its citizens and serves their interests. Abraham Lincoln famously popularized these words in his Gettysburg Address!

What Each Part Means

• Of the people: The government gets its power and authority from the citizens, not from a king, queen, or ruling upper class. The people who run the government are regular citizens from the same community. (Publishers Note added) NOT THE MAYOR! They must have worked in the united States on a regular job for at least five years before running for office and must swear allegiance to the United Staes Constitution! A Free election means by the citizens vote not visitors!
• By the people: The citizens create the government and control it through voting. The people choose their leaders in free and fair elections and take part in the political process.

For the people: The government exists to help and protect the public. Its rules and actions are meant to support the safety, rights, and well-being of all citizens, rather than serving just one powerful person or group.

Cross Florida Barge Canal in the 1970’s Started harassing the Marion County residents  (Me they wanted to go through my farm) After great stress and a hard battle it was Halted in 1971 with the intent to look at it again in a few years.

Turnpike Extension 2015 started harassing residents Through great stress to the residents of Marion County and me Again they wanted to go through our farm!

A second attempt was made. Marion County Residents fought it to a stand still. Again they wanted to go through my farm.

Commissioners voted no build!

Then came the Sabel Trail Gas Line. A man came on my land and I threw him off. I did not know but he was the project engineer. It did not matter he had no business my property. My wife and I have been living and working on this property for 56 years. The lawyers moved in, the county folded, the state folded or approved it maybe it was their idea. Well I lost the battle, the gas line went in.

Again they come back they think because they paid me for a one time easement that now they can come back and push me around again and put a second gas line in my land. If that gas line ever exploded we would be dead now they want double jeopardy. Continue reading →

Bring Down Cost!

The price of beef as we remember just a few years ago. Is there a middle man? Is there a middle country? Are we being squeezed by China / Tyson Beef? The answer is a decade ago it started and yes we were and are being invaded. Remember China said the perfect way “to take over a country is take it without firing a shot!” They are imbedding themselves into our country. STOP THEM!

Here is what I think the answer is. Follow me now. People who want to be considered Agriculture must have acreage, Raise beef cows for self consumption and to sell at the market or private transaction. For instance you raise 5 steers, someone wants to buy a beef cow for the freezer. You sell a beef steer and send a copy to the state to prove you are raising to sell and to consume yourself.

House lawmakers approved H.Con.Res.58 stating that Congress “denounces socialism in all its forms” and “opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States”. Sponsors said the vote answers a growing push to normalize far-left economics and election ideas.

Backers argued the United States must protect liberty, markets, and family prosperity from centralized control. The measure passed with full Republican support among those voting and modest crossover from Democrats, signaling a clear, formal stand by the chamber.

The text links socialism with threats to freedom and prosperity and asserts that concentrated state power undermines individual rights. A House Financial Services Committee release said the resolution affirms that America rejects socialism because it endangers the freedoms that define the nation.

Lawmakers paired the message with commitments to free and secure elections. The stated aim is to tell voters, agencies, and states that Congress backs the Constitution’s limits on government and the dignity of work and private enterprise.

AI who is afraid of the big bad AI? I have to say something. I have been using AI for information and it is holding true to form.The reason the Social Media does not like AI is it tells the truth about them! I went on a search and ask AI if Social Media could brain wash people into doing bad thins and it said YES! It explained how and if you ask it it will tell you.

I decide last week to give it the real test. There has been extensive researches done on trying to find my Dad father my grandfather???

My dad was left at a children’s home in Alliance Ohio for nursing care, he had been burned in a house fire they think.  The nurse fostered him took him home for special nursing. Her name was Loury but she never adopted him. She told the children’s home his father was a professional Timber Surveyer name John Mines. Continue reading →

I was born and raised in Ocala Florida. I’ve grown up watching Ocala grow to be The Horse Capital of the World and The Villages become one of the largest retirement communities in the US. I grew up on the dirt roads and playing in the open fields, where homes and businesses stand today.

I’ve been a Florida licensed insurance agent for over 20 years, specializing in Medicare plans. In my years in insurance, I’ve seen many changes affecting the lives of Medicare recipients.  Plans change year to year but I pride myself on being the constant, for my clients,  in the dynamic Medicare market.  They can count on me being here year to year, as an advocate as well as a resource for Medicare insurance.  Continue reading →

While watching TV on 911, I remember seeing the planes hit the tower  when it happened. I remember during the crisis, the air space was shut down because there were 6 planes un-account for, only one was a high jacked plane, but they did not know it at the time. President Bush was rushed to Air Force one. It would come out later they zig zag around the Gulf of America while they could make sure he was safe and the crisis was over. They were thinking about shooting down any plane that did not respond. It was shocking!

Today they estimate 9,000 death from the attack. A third died in the towers, the others from related illnesses from the toxic fumes and dust. I remember seeing videos of people being helped down the streets covered in dust / soot and blood. On a video I saw one man dive under a vehicle to take cover he was trying to get to his people and was not in time, I think he was the CEO that lost over six hundred people in the towers.

The remembrance was phenomenal at the ceremonies many of the families were there and honoring the fallen. Mamdani the Mayor of New York attended after being ask not to come with 110,000 signatures presented to him! Continue reading →

Here we go again… To you who fought the gas line? They are back! Dunnellon people are telling me they got a letter. The gas line agents want us to give them permission…I give them permission for nothing! They want permission to mow NO!  They want permission to survey NO! They have no business on my land! They decided that we believed their trickerey and now they want to convince us again that they are good guys. I will never believe anything they say. The Marion County Commissioners said they would never approve it, THEY DID so what does that make them? They Dunnellon city council said they would not let them go through our district THEY DID what does that make them! They said they would like to put something long the gas line right away. IT IS NOT A RIGHT AWAY. It is a ONE time lease for one gas line. They said they want to put something in 2029 don’t believe it they it’s a trick. They will be going through two ten acre pieces and a 5 acre piece, on my sister in law and ten acres on our family farm. That depreciates the land and if the gas line blows up, what happens to the people that live along side of it?

Next I want to talk about Robert Balfour (Military)

When I met him he was a great story teller and a great writer. He lived everything he wrote a great warrior. He would write every month about the military episodes he was involved in, all while playing golf every day in the Villages. He had a love for golf and was good at it! We work together for several years and one day he called and said I need a favor? I said name it! He was diagnosed with cancer and was going to die, At best he had a year maybe, I was shocked. He went on to say he wanted to send more than one letter/column per month and would like me to run his letters and columns after he was gone, I agreed, I really was honored that he would ask me to do that. He last ten months then I saw his obit . in the daily Sun and I ran his Obit. He had a road in the villages named after him. Continue reading →
