A Saturday Morning

~ Jeff Evenson ~ 3 Comments

I’m sitting here by the wood stove this morning. It’s -9° outside. The dog is fed and he’s been out; tho he didn’t stay out long. He’s no dummy. Well, that can be debated.

-9 degrees outside. Warm and toasty here.

Looking ahead on the day I’ll plan to join a friend at breakfast over in Askov. Then we’ll go walk thru the gun show being held there as well. I fear there will be a day when just saying I’m going to a gun show will result in some sort of report to the authorities. But then if we were at that point there wouldn’t be any gun shows so no need to worry.

What startles my imagination is how many intelligent people there are in the USA who are so willing to ignore truth when it’s staring them in the face. Is it fear that does that to people? You know what truth I’m talking about. It’s the truth about COVID-19, masks, the C19 vaccine; and yes, the illegitimate election results.

The truth is it’s sad that I actually fear posting that previous paragraph. You see, my fear is differing opinions no longer seem to matter. We can be silenced now thru ridicule, shaming, or guilt. We can be canceled out of the greatness that was in our country. My fear is based in reality because it is happening now. Look around. It even happened to Lou Dobbs yesterday. I don’t watch Fox News, or really any news for that matter, yet I saw the cancel culture strike out Lou.

If you are willing to be honest perhaps you’ll take notice of where dissension of speech is happening around you and in your lives. How about at the school boards and our children?

Yep, all this over a cup of coffee by the wood stove. Perhaps you’ll join me, even if we disagree. We can talk about all of the shit going on and how we can restore our great republic—without tearing each other down. If you’re able to do that with me, then it’s not too late.

Leave your comments below because Doing so on Facebook leaves it open to censorship. If it is the first time commenting it will get posted after I approve your permissions to post comments. Sorry, that helps keep the spammers at bay.

Enough with Social Media

~ Jeff Evenson ~ Leave a comment

I’ve had enough with Social Media. It’s a catch 22 you know. I don’t do a lot of posting on Facebook or others that would get blocked by the censorship engine of those platforms. I do see the writing on the wall. I honestly believe it is only a matter of time before any comments I post will somehow be controlled, modified, or blocked without my knowledge. Therefore, I plan to use my own blog platform to capture the things on my mind. Then I’ll share it over to the other platforms as appropriate. This way, I feel I will truly control my content. Sure FB and others may impact my shares from here. I’ll still own my content. And, who knows, maybe my friends will subscribe to my site and see my new posts directly.

Regardless, it’s time to take control of my stuff. I know it is so easy to just share right from the phone onto Social Media. I figured out how to just write on my phone and post right to my blog. Just as easy.

I’m a pretty staunch supporter of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Censorship is not something I’m a big fan of. So, if I’m going to be an ardent supporter of the 2nd amendment, I will also do the same for the 1st.

Please join me. Maybe you’ll even consider creating your own blog too.
