Both You and I Know Better

I think a lot of people agree but are afraid to say so. If I hear about one more letter added for a person’s sexual identity, I think my head is going to explode. And the people who are putting it out there, please!.

The latest count is 76. I would like to see how much of this nonsensical mess will stick to the wall. I also believe that people are trying to see how many people they can rope into thinking you are racist if I do not recognize you as one of these 76 identities.

We don’t care about anyone’s sexual identity, as long as you are qualified and can do the job. How people base their identity has got to stop, whether it is ethnic, sexuality, race, creed, or color. There are some people serving in very important positions who are in my ethnic background who I roll my eyes up thinking, “Could you please clarify what you just said? Because I know some grade school students who could have done a better job when describing a situation. (Hint: describing Russia’s attack on Ukraine) I’m not saying anything more – just think about it. The person who talked about that situation was embarrassing. 

I don’t like these commercials where people start out stating what sex they are and what they are wearing. I just need to know if your product works and I can afford it and if I have to pay a lot of money, is it worth it.

On another topic, I recently heard on the Judge Jeanine Pirro Podcast who interviewed John Boyd, Jr. (Fourth-Generation Farmer, Civil Rights Defender, and President and Founder of the National Black Farmers Association). He spoke about how farmers in general were being totally ignored by the present administration. It was heartbreaking to hear. He stated that we are in a farm crisis – it is $6,000 for diesel fuel $100/gallon to fill up his trucks $600 a pop for his tractors. Fertilizers have tripled – It went from $400/ton to $1,200/ton (and they have to pay that cost upfront). You are putting the American Farmer at a terrible disadvantage. He stated that it will trickle down to the American consumer who will pay the cost. Over $150 million has been sent overseas to help farmers while the American farmer got zero aid. He warned that Bill Gates has 270,000 acres of farmland and is buying up more in doing so, hurting the American Farmer. China is also buying up American Farmland by bidding from overseas via cell phones. He said that American Farmland that used to cost $2,000 an acre, that Gates and China are now buying at $10,000-$15,000 an acre, pricing the American Farmers out completely. A lot of farmers are going bankrupt and going into foreclosure.

The American Farmer has been getting the short end of the stick for years.

These are just some of the bullet points of John Boyd’s interview and he has much more important information. We urge you to download this podcast (7/31/22). 

We leave you to decide what is more important: learning 76 different sexual identifications or the people who put food on your table and products in your home that you can afford in order to survive. CASE CLOSED. HAVE A GOOD DAY.
