Bill Gates owns a reported 269,000 acres of farmland, but one recent purchase has sparked outrage with locals. A recent purchase of 2,100 acres of prime North Dakota farmland by a group linked to billionaire Bill Gates has left some people in the state worried that it will be taken over by the ultra-rich. Gates has an estimated 269,000 acres in dozens of states, based on last year’s edition of the Land Report 100, a yearly survey of the nation’s largest landowners. The co-founder of Microsoft is considered the largest private owner of farmland in the United States. He owns…

Anyone remember two certain brain-dead animated teens in the 90’s? You know the guys, sat around all day watching music videos (remember those?), making dumb comments and generally getting into trouble? While that might sound like some of our kids from back in the day, I’m instead referring to Beavis and Butthead. Creator Mike Judge had a huge hit with two miscreants and parlayed that success into a couple of Hollywood movies, and the animated show ‘King of the Hill’. Well, Judge is back with a feature film starring his two original protagonists, Beavis and Butthead. Only this time they…
How about some feel-good news? There aren’t very many of them floating around anymore it seems. Sadly, all the mainstream media wants to talk about is abortion, guns, inflation, you know…fun stuff. I refuse to believe that EVERYTHING is crap. There are still good people, good stories and things to brighten our outlook on America and humanity just a little. If you dig, you can find them. That brings me to this! Pride month is over, and subsequently so is the pride Whopper at Burger King, but the chain DOES have someone to be proud of. Let’s check in with…
In a brazen attack in broad daylight, a group of at least four men raided a prestigious art fair in the Netherlands, using a sledgehammer to smash glass cases containing jewelry while one of the men brandished a firearm to keep guards and shocked fairgoers at bay. But police were able to catch up to and arrest two of the men while at least two others escaped and are on the run. TEFAF, or The European Fine Art Foundation’s annual fair, had just returned to Maastricht for the first time since the COVID pandemic began. This event is invite-only where…
There has always been some tension between the generations. The grandparents, and parents, who have typically reached maturity in their lives are challenged by their children/grandchildren as they try to guide them onto straight and more fulfilling paths. The older family members who already made thousands of mistakes, from small to huge, desperately want to pass on the wisdom learned as a result of going through them. The youth, from as far back as Cain, are convinced they know better. When they resist the instruction from their elders, being driven by their emotions, they start making the same mistakes anyway.…
Well, this is a disgusting way to start a long holiday weekend, isn’t it? We like to honor our best and our brightest from time to time with things like honorary degrees, medals, participation trophies, oh wait that’s just for EVERY kid playing a sport. This 4th of July holiday it would be nice to relax, reflect, have a beverage or two with friends; just take in what America is meant to be. While we do that, let’s also try to digest who one of the newest presidential Medal of Freedom recipients is and come to terms with how low…
God, I miss Johnny Carson. And David Letterman, Jay Leno, and any late-night host before 2014, to be honest. That’s close to the era when late night television devolved from tongue in cheek comedy, an opportunity to see the newest song from a favorite band, and to see your favorite celebrity hawk their new movie to what it is now. Liberal propaganda and foul mouthed, classless “celebrities” trying to tell the rest of America how to live. Thankfully, NOBODY watches them anymore. Unfunny hosts only pander to the far left, classless b list guests mouthing off about what their agenda…
Hey, anyone remember 2021? You know, the good old days! Fewer protests, cheaper gas, far less acrimony nationally. Hard to believe anything post Trump could be considered “good old days” but considering how much of a crap-fest our economy and the world is right now, 2021 probably is as close to the good old days as we will get for a while. Brandon has jacked the country up to historic levels economically, and our Fourth of July cookouts will probably reflect that. Unless of course you shopped in 2019 and deep froze your summer of 2022 goods in anticipation. if…
The end of Roe v. Wade mark last week, after it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, was a major victory for the pro-life movement in this country — and will save the lives of millions of innocent babies — but the fight against abortion is far from over. The Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade gave American pro-life groups the advantage in the inevitable upcoming political battles over abortion. Even so, they will face adversity along the way. “You’re pinching yourself for a while. When you work for something for close to 50 years, and…
Elon Musk, who is usually very active on Twitter most days, disappeared from social media for a nine day hiatus, prompting his followers to trend #Where’sElon and speculate as to the reasoning behind his disappearance. But Musk suddenly sprang back onto Twitter sphere today by posting a very unexpected photograph with Pope Francis. The billionaire, who has previously declared himself an atheist, posted “Honored to meet @Pontifex yesterday” along with a photo of himself and four of his five teenage sons. His fifth child who was born Xavier, but now wants to be known as Jenna Wilson, announced she was…

The CDC is shamelessly at it again, now promoting the vaccine on Sesame Street using poor Elmo as their ambassador. Sesame Street just got a little scarier. Elmo received his first jab on Tuesday as part of an aggressive effort to bring reluctant parents on board to get their babies vaccinated, a push that some are calling shameful. Sesame Street hid this reply to their Elmo vaccine tweet https://t.co/WKa17iF6aF— The Great ULTRA King Nero (@Adventure_Nero) June 28, 2022 The campaign, which has since gone viral on social media, comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) expanded the…
Another brick in the wall of traditional superhero-dom has crumbled as Marvel Comics announced it is set to debut its first openly gay Spider-Man, a move that leaves fans scratching their heads as to who asked for this. The new character is named Web-Weaver and will make his (its?) first appearance in an upcoming book this September. Web-Weaver is described as a fashion designer having effeminate characteristics and wearing a costume fitted with flowing sleeves and a lace collar, and sporting long false eyelashes bedecking kohl-lines eyes. Marvel, a subsidiary of woke-as-anything Disney, first made the announcement in June via…
The wife of basketball star Miles Bridges has accused former Charlotte Hornets player of viciously attacking her and said “I was choked until I went to sleep” a day after his arrest for domestic violence. Mychelle Johnson, who has two young children with Bridges, 24, posted pictures to her Instagram page showing gruesome bruises and cuts all over her body and face and a broken nose. She alleges the injuries were caused by her husband. She wrote that she “could not be silenced anymore” and posted a series of images of her injuries along with a medical report dated Thursday…
A video of a child-sized person dressed in a realistic Chuckie from the Child’s Play movies costume has gone viral as the creepy doll ran amuck on New York’s subway, attacking horrified passengers. But now the real reason for the horror-movie-like scene has been revealed. Social media went wild for the video with many remarking, ‘only in NY’ as they watched ‘Chuckie’ appearing to attack a woman who was sitting on a subway seat of the moving train. There seemed to be no motive behind the little doll’s rage as he clung to the woman and tried to snatch her…
We’re all on a budget these days and prices seem to be rising. Even the Dollar Tree is now the five-quarter tree, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find good bargains geared towards survival there. With an eye toward preparedness and a mind toward what’s possible, you can find items that are necessary for a bug-out bag even at the Dollar Tree. For approximately $40 you can have a very basic bug-out kit to throw in the car, keep stashed in a closet, or keep at your bug-out location so that you can get to a third location. Containment and…
Once again Joe Biden looks weak and clueless. On Thursday the unpopular president, a former moderate from Delaware, called for Senate Democrats to end the over 100-year filibuster rule in order to pass legislation codifying Roe v. Wade via a national guarantee for obtaining an abortion. The problem is that Biden and his handlers still do not realize that emotionalism has not had an effect on moving the remaining 2 moderate US Senators in their party to vote for ending the well-established and utilized political tool. The left made the same error late last year while trying to bypass the…
It has been revealed by Sweden’s justice minister that Donald Trump threatened the country with a “trade war” if it did not release African American rapper A$AP Rocky. A$AP, whose real name is Rakim Mayers was arrested outside a fast-food restaurant in Stockholm three years ago when he and two bodyguards were caught on camera punching and jabbing a man with a broken bottle. According to Mayer’s lawyers, the black rapper had been followed, harassed, and racially abused by ‘fans’ before eventually retaliating in what he said amounted to self-defense. In captions for the video, which was posted online, Mayers,…
Employees of Ernst & Young (EY) decided to cheat on the ethics exam, resulting in a $100 million fine for the company. The Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States issued this announcement. They were lambasted as a “woke corporation” by critics as this story made headlines. According to a news release from the organization, EY, one of the “big four” accounting firms, confessed that a “significant number” of its employees had cheated on the ethics section of their CPA tests and continuing education programs. The business wasn’t willing to show evidence of this wrongdoing to the officials. “This…
Reportedly, Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) is currently dealing with cooled momentum and heated customers at its stores, as a new report claims that the company has cut back on air conditioning in an effort to quickly lower expenses to make up for a slump in sales. But on the other side, Bed Bath & Beyond said that any changes in store temperature guidelines did not come from corporate. “We’ve been contacted about this report, and to be clear, no Bed Bath & Beyond stores were directed to adjust their air conditioning and there have been no corporate policy changes…
