Thank you 
You are correct. 

I hope we get blasted and snow remains on the ground until Easter! I long for the winters of my youth and so does my son who has never experienced that kind of snow. 

State troopers raided Amos Miller's organic farm in Pennsylvania, yesterday.
 
  State Troopers Again Harass and Raided Amos Miller's Organic farm in Pennsylvania Today
The farm sells raw milk, organic eggs, grass-fed beef and other Organic items
(R) Thomas Massie (https://x.com/repthomasmassie/status/1742955184240619949?s=46) Chimed in:
“With all of the problems in society today, this is what the government wants to focus on?
A man growing food for informed customers, without participating in the industrial meat/milk complex?
It’s shameful that it’s come to this.”

She seems.....entitled?  Is that the right word here?  
I'm guessing she has experienced a ton of disappointment in her life. 
 
Side note:  Bet she wears makeup, padded/pushup bras and spanx.  Maybe some dude will sue her for false advertising in the future.  

If I were a judge and this showed up in my court I would find in favor of the plaintiff and award them what their suit was worth…$ 1.65.   Done

thats my point...isnt that what priv prop/ no trespassing signs are trying to do...but game comm can walk/ride bike or horse back your property for no reason

then why are/should st game lands access roads be gated and locked? they open them up for deer and bear season but why gate and lock them at all.....to keep people out?....kinda sounds like private property to me???

I agree with Lizard.    And unless they have a warrant and probable cause, they best stay off someone's property.  I think it is good to buy property to enjoy the outdoors.  I myself have done this.  Foreign countries have purchased large amounts of our land out west and elsewhere.  Best for Americans to buy as much of it up as we can to safe guard our freedoms.

I watched a news program yesterday on FOX where a rancher says he is really worried about cartel scouts and terrorists coming across his property now. They are all dressed in camo.  MS13 tattoed gang members knocked at his door to use the phone.  His wife was afraid and didn't let them in, but left sandwiches for them outside to eat.   The rancher was an older man and looked to be in his seventies.  He said he used to see border patrol on his land, but hasn't seen them for 3 months.  Seems our government is doing diddly right now to protect our borders.  These are just random thoughts, but  I really wonder if this is their plan.  To get all these folks into our country, give them citizenship, and then they will be "voters" for the current regime.  Soon they will be moving them into the local hotels and housing them.  They are doing that in the cities.  Heck, the old Holiday Inn in DuBois could use some business.  No one stays there.  Who is to say the government couldn't pay them mucho bucho and move those folks right in?  Aren't they already housing them in Philipsburg at the Mo Valley Processing Center? I have no problem at all with helping folks, but this influx of immigrants is wrong.  We need to take care of the folks that are already here.  Our country is in horrible debt, and the working people are paying for it all.  How much longer can we do it?  How can we support all these extra mouths to feed?  The 2024 election can't come fast enough for me.

I disagree.  A good way to increase land for hunting and recreation is to buy in groups. Everyone has a right to do so. You have much more buying power than one person alone.  Nothing has to be shady about it. I understand and respect their reasons.  They may hunt there but they also take their families there to camp.  There is no reason for constant, intrusive surveillance, especially in the off season. 
We bought land for private use by our family for hunting and recreation.  We camp there 10 months a year and hunt 2 months. It is scary to think that they can come in and start videotaping us and our children without us knowing.   We follow all hunting laws, I have no concern about that.  I do however value my privacy on my own private property. 
Example: you buy a hot tub and put it in your back yard in the country.  You have no neighbors.  You like to enjoy the hot tub naked.  The game commission decides to start doing video surveillance without you knowing and the area includes your hot tub.  Is this right?   Should this be allowed?

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
1.   Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly, it's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert, Labor Day?

9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.

10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.

Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming " WOO HOO   what a ride!"   MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
 

Jan 23 is his hearing. I will be following up on this story. 🤓

Seems T-mobile are updating their terms of service. I see some lawsuits coming if they actually enforce their new code of conduct. BTW who decides what hate speech is. I wonder if they will fine people who are Trump supporters who say they will vote for him. They even say about swearing they will fine you. . We will see what will happen. I thought about t-mobile but not now. Look at the video 11:45 and it has terms of service that shows about campaign content. Are they going to start fining all republicans if they do not agree with their views. Also why are they reading your texts etc?
 
 

I guess Our first amendment rights don't matter anymore.

CHRIS BENNETT For Farm Journal       How much power does the government claim on private land? “Unfettered,” according to a Commonwealth Court decision in a case pitting the Pennsylvania Game Commission against two private gun clubs.
On Sept. 29, a court ruled against two hunting clubs in their lawsuit accusing the Game Commission of private property rights violations. The Institute for Justice represents both clubs and will appeal.
In its ruling, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania noted the government’s absolute power to “roam private land without consent, warrants or probable cause.”
“Private land isn’t public property,” says institute attorney Josh Windham. “That might seem obvious. But all too many officials, at every level of government, disagree. They think they have a blank check to invade private property. We’ll see what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has to say about that.”
On Dec. 16, 2021, Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney hunting clubs sued the Game Commission after game wardens consistently entered club lands without permission or warrant, and secretly monitored club members, including photo collection via installation of a hidden game camera. The wardens’ behavior, the lawsuit asserted, was a direct violation of Pennsylvania’s state constitution, which explicitly protects “persons, houses, papers, and possessions.”
Most Americans assume law enforcement must obtain a warrant to enter or surveil private land, but for roughly a century, the Open Fields doctrine has allowed government officials, at state and federal levels, unqualified access to private land.
In its judgment Sept. 29, the Commonwealth Court detailed the alarming powers and “unfettered discretion” assumed by government via Open Fields:
“The facts of this case are not in dispute. The Hunting Clubs are member-owned hunting clubs that own thousands of acres of private land in Clearfield County. Members use the properties to hunt, vacation, and enjoy nature. To ensure their members’ privacy, the Hunting Clubs have posted their properties with no trespassing signs and have installed gates at all entrances to exclude nonmembers and intruders. However, the Entry Statutes empower game wardens with unfettered discretion to enter upon and roam private land without consent, warrants, or probable cause.”
In ruling against the two hunting clubs, the Commonwealth Court was bound by precedent set in Pennsylvania v. Russo (2007), when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said “possessions” do not include private land.
The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney lawsuit now moves to appeal. The hunting clubs, represented by Institute for Justice, will seek to overturn the Russo decision, and ask the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to address a pressing question: Does the state constitution protect citizens from warrantless searches on private land?
“Russo was wrongly decided and we’re eager to show the Pennsylvania Supreme Court why,” Windham says. “The Open Fields doctrine destroys the point of having private land. It treats fences, gates, posted signs and everything else you might do to keep your land private, as irrelevant.
“And, in turn, it gives the government unfettered power to enter your land, roam around, spy on you, take photos, record videos, take soil samples, ride around in bikes, trucks even horses, all without a warrant. We’re supposed to think that’s constitutional?”
Presently, six states place state constitutional authority above the Open Fields doctrine: Mississippi, Montana, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court should take place in 2024, with a decision likely in 2025. Institute for Justice is currently litigating similar Open Fields cases in Virginia and Tennessee about warrantless intrusions on private land.
In an Oct. 2 Institute release, Frank Stockdale, president of the Punxsutawney Hunting Club, summarized the private land ownership case: “The government has no right to spy on us on our own land without cause. This entire endeavor has been outrageous and needs to end now.”

The land being bought is all legal. If you want some go buy it!! There isn't anything stating the GC charged anyone with any crime, seems like they were being nosey. 

thought it was a coyote?  hogwash.
"just a dog"?  Shame on him.  
"found a dog hit by a car"?  Liar
"municipal building dumpster"?  Most likely not intended for "government officials" to dispose of bodies of any sort, or for personal use.  Which this clearly was in his case.  
He needs to be charged and he needs to forfeit his hunting privileges and equipment to do so---and be subjected to having his eyesight checked.  Next he'll be shooting one of those adorable little cows because he thinks it's a deer.  

Probably so because unless he has a sight problem, they are very different, particularly the Red Merle and Red Australian Shepherds.  
My daughter has both a Red and a Blue Merle, and never would they be mistaken for a coyote.  
Yes, there's more to this story.

If he is a hunter, he should know the difference between a dog and coyote.  I think there may be more to this story.

Why is it our job to level the playing field? Why is it our job to send everyone else money but yet not spend money on our own problems? Saving the rest of the world while our own country falls apart. Yes let’s keep sending billions to Ukraine. Billions to Israel.. but forget about our own problems. Let’s just act like we don’t have 1000s of illegals and criminals causing more and more problems here. It’s hitting our own backyards and no one seems to have any issues with that. Everyone’s more worried about other countries. It’s not our job to police the rest of the world. All this comes down to is our “elected officials” lining their own pockets with deals made with these other countries. They could give two craps about their own people.

He can pick which one. Hang, chair, injection, or firing squad. 
If they started doing one of the above on National TV. Then it might stop or at least slow them down.

She is just precious!  I saw on FB how she is working on moving her legs and responding to her physical therapist.  She is doing a great job!  So proud of her!
