 Congratulations President Donald J. Trump

You Want Some Truth?

"If the vaccines are so safe, why are they blocking the safety studies? Looking at how these vaccines are actually approved has completely changed how I practice medicine. When the FDA and HHS are actively blocking publications on safety, it’s no longer about health—it's about control."

TO: Montana Governor Greg Gianforte

This is too good not to post here.   There is a growing sense of outrage in Montana.

I’ve been reliably informed that Montana’s governor and lieutenant governor have both seen my posts, so I just wanted to say hi. And since you’re apparently reading, here’s an open invitation. Come do a public interview with me and explain why I’m wrong on corner crossing. Explain why the average Montana hunter should not be able to step from public land to public land without touching private property. Explain who you think public land actually belongs to. Unless, of course, it is easier to hide from this issue, hope it goes away, and avoid answering tough questions from regular hunters who are tired of watching public land become private playgrounds for the well-connected outfitters and landowners. I understand. Politicians usually prefer controlled rooms, softball questions, and friendly audiences. Maybe Montana’s governor is different. Maybe he has a backbone. I guess we’ll find out.

But this issue is not just me making noise on Facebook. Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and the Public Land & Water Access Association have filed a lawsuit in Montana to try to cement the legality of corner crossing and open access to roughly 871,000 acres of corner-locked public land in that state. onX deserves a ton of credit too, because they put real mapping and real money behind this fight and showed there are 8.3 million acres of corner-locked public land across the West, blocked by more than 27,000 land-locking corners. This is not about stealing private land. This is about stealing public land, and whether it only belongs to people with the money, lawyers, outfitters, and political connections to the governor to keep everybody else out. So Governor, Lieutenant Governor, the invitation is open. Come explain your position to regular hunters in public. They vote!

Let’s look at the landowner argument on corner crossing. They say they are worried people will trespass, wander off the public corner, cut across private land, or use corner crossing as an excuse to violate property rights. Fine. That is a real concern. But if a homeowner in town is worried someone might break into his house, he does not get to block off the whole street and tell everybody else they cannot walk down it. That street is not his.

If somebody trespasses, prosecute them. If somebody damages your property, go after them. But you do not get to block the public from public land because you are worried someone might break the law. I do not get to violate your rights, and you do not get to violate mine. Corner crossing is not about violating property rights. It is about protecting property rights. public land is all of our property and nobody gets to violate our property rights. Public land is not yours just because you own the land beside it just like your neighbors house doesn’t belong to you just because they live next to you.

George Floyd

The fake tears crowd comes out every year in Minnesota for the memory of the shooting of George Floyd.

Liberals always need a reason to get out on a spring day and bemoan the law enforcement efforts of great professionals who put their lives on the line every day they go to work to look out for justice across the United States of America.  

So you think Mr. Floyd left such a legacy of being an exemplary father?  The law breaker wasn't a model citizen; his record reflects little but poor choices.

His 5 children didn't have a clue who he was. Imagine that? Be a responsible citizen, sire 5 kids,  be an active parent in their lives,  have a job, obey the law?   Naw, not George.

George Floyd had a lengthy criminal history, primarily involving drugs and theft, with one notable violent armed robbery. This is well-documented in court records from Harris County, Texas.

Why the media portrays Floyd as being a saint or martyr is beyond me. Floyd was a career offender for years—drug dealing, theft, and a violent armed robbery that terrorized innocent victims.

This is your annual reminder that George Floyd dressed as water company worker to commit a home invasion with 5 other men. The three victims were female, one of them was pregnant.

Central Park, New York City

Among other things, I have been a birder my entire life.

Love the chase, love the scenery.

Have had a few opportunities to bird in Central Park and this past weekend was no exception.

Here is what I found most amazing and rather sad.

Central Park is a beautiful place for sure.

I was able to spot probably a thousand humans while birding.

980 had their faces glued to their cell phones.

The dopamine hits owned them.

Reels, texts, whatever, I would bet my Swarovski's they never saw a tiny bit of nature in Central Park. 

Life in America Today? Put it down and turn it off...................

 I have a job to do in New York City this weekend.

Officiating a wedding ceremony in the borough of Manhattan!

Today, think about what Elon Musk had to say and stew on it for a good bit............

Elon Musk said five words on Joe Rogan that explain everything wrong with your life right now.

Musk: “Happiness is reality minus expectations.” 

Five words.

And it explains why the most comfortable generation in human history can’t stop feeling empty.

Musk: “If you just go try living in the woods by yourself for a while, you’ll learn that civilization is quite great.”

He’s right.

On Naked and Afraid, people tap out in days. Sometimes hours. They crawl back to the same civilization they spent years resenting. Because comfort is invisible until you’re sleeping in the dirt.

But the formula has a second variable. It’s the one destroying you. Reality didn’t get worse. By every measure, it’s the best it’s ever been. Expectations did. Your grandparents compared themselves to their neighbor. Maybe a cousin. That was the whole universe. You compare yourself to 10,000 strangers before your first cup of coffee. Curated. Filtered. Showing you a life that doesn’t exist.

Theodore Roosevelt said it a century before any of this was built. Roosevelt: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” No Instagram. No TikTok. No algorithm designed by the smartest engineers on the planet to show you precisely what you don’t have. And he still called it. 

Now run the equation. Reality holds steady. Expectations spike every time you unlock your phone. The distance between them stretches. And happiness doesn’t fade. It collapses. Not because your life got worse. Because your reference point moved. 

We built the greatest civilization in human history. Then we built the perfect machine to make sure nobody enjoys it. Every scroll. Every notification. Every “suggested for you.” None of it connects you. It’s recalibrating what you think you need. Upward. Constantly. Without your consent. And you wonder why you feel behind. You’re not behind. You’re running toward a finish line that moves every time you look up. 

The most dangerous lie of this generation isn’t that life is hard. It’s that everyone else figured it out. And you’re the only one who didn’t. Nobody figured it out. The formula doesn’t negotiate. It just runs.

Raise expectations faster than reality improves and you will be miserable inside a paradise you built with your own hands. That’s not philosophy. 

That’s arithmetic. And the calculator is in your pocket right now.

America & Masks

Once upon a time, there was a moment when Dean Parisian was the only soul in the terminal at the Salt Lake City airport without a mask on.

The legions of Karens and LibTards looking at me like I was some kind of heinous assassin!

I glared right back and smiled.

Have a nice day.

Saw a dude at my gym this morning sporting a mask.

I go well out of my way to not get near anyone sporting a mask.  

Big Pharma and the Media Whores want EBOLA in America because the Hantavirus isn't transmittable person-to-person.

See how quickly that fakery died?

The woke mind virus needs continual infecting.
