Cowboy Common Sense

A flaming Trump-hater asked me this question; Jonesy:  Why do you think Trump hasn’t disclosed his tax returns like he promised he would? Somehow his promise to build the border wall is more important to you and others than his promise to disclose his taxes. Why?????  Tim I replied to the group that Tim is in as follows: I’m only answering Tim because this is a query which is posed often and needs to be answered. Otherwise Tim’s constant finding fault with Trump is not worth responding to. Trump hasn’t released his tax returns because Trump’s taxes are buried beneath…

President Trump made 8,158 false or misleading claims in his first two years is the headline blazoned across the top of the page. Yep, you are right. Trump lied. He lies all the time. He said the stack of hamburgers for the Clemson Team was “a mile high”. Some reporters from The Washington Post measured them and they came far short of being “a mile high”. Big lie. Huge Trump lie. Impeachable offense. And Trump asked Russia to find the missing 30,000 Hillary emails. That’s proof that Trump was colluding with Russia and that Russia was taking orders from Trump.…

Bill Barr was nominated by President Trump for Attorney General.  Hearings are now going on in the Senate Judiciary Committee.  Big in the news. I, Jonesy, have had some serious misgivings about Bill Barr being nominated as Attorney General.  I’ve been trying to figure out why Trump would nominate him, especially when I learned that Barr is very good friends with Mueller who is investigating Trump.  Trump calls this a “witch hunt”.  Many of us concur because after almost three years of FBI investigation, including 20 months by the Mueller team, there has been no solid concrete evidence proving that…

‘Twas a month before Christmas And I grabbed my gun, To hunt the wiley wapiti, Hoping to get a big one. I chanced upon a big elk track Pressed deep in the snow, The tips of its cloven hoofs Pointed the way I should go. The track was a bit strange, Just different, somehow. But they were big and deep, Likely a bull and not a cow. I finally got a glimpse Of a grayish-colored hide, Gray?…elk are usually black on the neck And reddish tan on the side. There! The tip of an antler! Positively a bull! I raised…

In trying to justify abortion, some argue “That is not a baby in the womb.  It is not a baby until it is born.”  Question:  Then what is it?  An amorphous mass like a tumor?  It’s of no more consequence to remove it than to remove a tumor?  Think seriously.  It moves.  It responds to stimuli.  It will eventually BE a baby, a child, a teenager, an adult, a parent, a grandparent. Question to abortion rights advocates: Why would a woman want to abort her child?” Answers are basically the same; “She can’t take care of it.”  “Having a baby…

A bit of humor for your day The National Association of Gals (NAGS) don’t hold a candle to Women Against Guides (WAGS) for sheer ability to strike fear into the hearts of peace-loving men everywhere. An unsuspecting young man falls in love. His bride vows to “honor, cherish, and obey, and not interfere with his frequent hunting trips.” (that line was in your vows, wasn’t it?) She forgets all about those last few words and hits high volume the first time her husband mortgages the dog and the kids to go on an elk hunt in Wyoming. She joins with…

Two recent incidents of grizzlies killing humans have been emotionally tragic. On September 14, 2018, hunting guide Mark Uptain was killed by a grizzly and his hunter was injured in the Teton Wilderness Area north of Jackson, Wyoming. Mark left a wife and five children. I, Jonesy, took his teenage daughter on a horseback ride with some friends two or three weeks later. It helped her deal with her grief. Very recently, on November 26, 2018, a mother and her 10 month old daughter were killed by a grizzly in Yukon Territory. They had been living in a remote cabin…

Liberals have a lot of compassion for these poor refugees on our Mexican border “just seeking a better life”. So let’s carry this to its logical conclusion. Obviously if you don’t want to vet them and keep the vast majority of them out, then you believe in open borders. You don’t believe in the rule of law which sets forth criteria for allowing immigration into our country. Through the front door. By invitation. If, tomorrow, we abolished Border Patrol and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and declared that all are welcome, what would happen? Within a very short time we…

Yes, I’m comparing the media’s “lies” with Trump’s “lies”. I am NOT comparing the two with Jesus.  Read on. “The Media just can’t stop lying about Trump” was an article from a few months ago, demonstrating how the media twists Trump’s words to claim that he is lying. The article was about President Trump starting a “trade war”, among other things. The truth is in alternate interpretation of facts.  Raising tariffs slightly on a relatively minor number of goods does not constitute a “trade war” was the author’s conclusion in that portion of the article. Recently CNN reporter Jim Acosta…

There were four main things that Republican voters put high on the priority of Trump’s agenda, which caused Trump to be elected; 1.  Supreme Court appointments who would rule according to the Constitution and not as an agenda 2.  Build the Wall 3.  Repeal ObamaCare 4.  Defund Planned Parenthood Those things motivated the urge to vote for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States. Trump could do the first without the House.  He did it, with the help of the Senate.  I commend Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell for supporting that. The other three require House votes.  Paul…
