My grandfather farmed for 55 years, longer if you count time spent with his father, who bought the land around 1900. He was a quiet, generous, sober & cautious man. I’m only slightly exaggerating when I say if he saw that he’d shoot the television.

Here it is! Here’s the truth about the Trump Administration. Darren Beattie is going to be put for a key post, the Acting “Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.” He left the 1st Trump Admin due to criticism he received for attending a conference tied to white nationalists.
