Jackson Hole Outfitters, Maury Jones,  My former business of guiding hunters and summer trail rides. Humorous Excerpts of Newsletters A strange thing happened to me just the other day. On a late hunt I was in pursuit of the wily wapiti. I was following a fresh set of tracks, which looked like they could have been made by a bull, but they looked a bit strange. Just…. different, somehow. Finally, I got a glimpse of a greyish-tan hide through the bushes. Grey? Should be reddish brown, but I’ve seen odd-colored elk before. There!! The tip of an antler!! I started…

There is a big push by some high-profile Democrats to eliminate the Electoral College.  They prefer counting the popular vote as the best way to elect our President. The key to understanding the Electoral College is that it elects a President of the States, not a President of the collective people as if there were no states. If we do away with the Electoral College then some states lose their representation, being totally subject to the whims of the huge population centers concentrated in just a few states. Under the Electoral College system, the citizens of each state are voting…

No doubt some of you think Jonesy is nuts for being a man-caused-global-warming denier or skeptic. Just why does it get warmer and then colder on earth?  Why?  How?  What determines it?  Man’s pollution?  CO2?  Cosmic rays?  The Sun?  The ocean?  Just what? Spend just 10 minutes of your time watching a portion of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52Mx0_8YEtg Begin watching at minute 28, for about 8 minutes, to minute 36. Particularly pay careful attention beginning at minute 35 through minute 36.  This examines the correlation of rising CO2 and arctic temperatures vs sunspot activity and arctic temperatures.  At minute 28:40 the…

Well presented, from my brother, Ron Lee Jones Jonesy Recognize A Liberal Lie For What It Is By Ron Lee Jones Liberals want “Universal Background Checks” and they are so proud of that idea because they think it is a “common sense” approach that will curb gun violence. This is one of the proposed new laws in Virginia. A universal background check sounds so neutral . . . but only to liberals and the misinformed. Let’s be clear. It’s not neutral. It’s a lie. The liberals and the mainstream news media don’t want you to recognize it as a lie,…

Joel is a libertarian.  We go the rounds often. Joel, Your statement “Why can’t our Nation agree that what is constitutional is … what the Supreme Court says the Constitution says.” is total nonsense. Do you honestly believe the founding fathers left the entire government of the United States and its laws up to a few lawyers wearing black robes and pounding wooden hammers to declare what they want the Constitution to say?  The Founders wrote the Constitution in plain language, but it is admitted that some things are not exactly spelled out. I challenge you to find anywhere in…

Here is an excerpt from the history lesson below, from 1839, which prompted me to write this. “While waiting in Washington, Joseph also grew tired of hearing politicians make grand speeches full of lofty language and empty promises. “There is such an itching disposition to display their oratory on the most trivial occasions and so much etiquette, bowing and scraping, twisting and turning to make a display of their witticism,” he told his brother in a letter. “It seems to us rather a display of folly and show more than substance and gravity.” Government hasn’t changed much since 1839. I,…

There is a big push by some high-profile Democrats to eliminate the Electoral College.  They prefer counting the popular vote as the “fairest” way to elect our President. The key to understanding the Electoral College is that it elects a President of the States, not a President of the collective people as if there were no states. If we do away with the Electoral College then sparsely populated states such as Wyoming, which has less than 600,000 people, lose their representation.  These small-population states would be totally subject to the whims of the huge population centers concentrated in just a…

Guest author; Ron Lee Jones  (attorney, author, and Jonesy’s baby brother) If you think a Wall or other deterrent to allowing free access to our country is “immoral”, then don’t wait for the government to say “come on in”.  Take action yourself to demonstrate your beliefs. Let’s just all post on Facebook and Twitter that our homes are open to anyone who wants to come stay. That includes the home of every American. We will give our addresses in the post and then we will not lock our doors ever again.  We will also provide benefits.  Anyone who wants to…
