Hey boys and girls - keep Texas in your prayers!! Harvey hit us bad!! Lots of destruction in Houston, Rockport, Aransas Pass, Corpus Christi, and that whole area. The reports are still coming in and the rain ain't gonna stop for a few more days! It may get a lot worse before it ever gets better.

As for me and mine - we are OK - lots of rain and some mild wind, but no significant damage in our area. We are blessed. It looks like we will be heading down to do some disaster recovery next week. Happy to do it! It looks like the Cajun Navy is already down there in their john boats, bass trackers, and party barges going to the rescue. That's what America is all about and what will make us great again. All the politicians can go to hell - they won't ever make a difference - it's the people that will!

Donate to the Red Cross or other charitable organization of your choice if you can. Lots of folks are going to need it.

HOOK 'EM!

I'm from louisiana and farm for a living and know all about hurricanes. had my crops destroyed by rita,gustav,katrina, and andrew. all on different occasions. never had my house go under because we live on high ground,but have seen many go under on flat or low ground. i know how bad it can be so everyone in the storms path is in my prayers.

Back Me Off to 1,700 Yards,650 is a Little Close & I'm Not Comfortable with it!

A GUT SHOT at 1,700 Yards will Still Make Some Good BRAGGIN Rights so I Can Say I At Least Hit Him!

I Heard they didn't need to Put Water in the Font at the Texas Temple?

Hundreds and hundreds of small boats pulled by countless pickups and SUVs from across the South are headed for Houston. Almost all of them driven by men. They're using their own property, sacrificing their own time, spending their own money, and risking their own lives for one reason: to help total strangers in desperate need.

Most of them are by themselves. Most are dressed like the redneck duck hunters and bass fisherman they are. Many are veterans. Most are wearing well-used gimme-hats, t-shirts, and jeans; and there's a preponderance of camo. Most are probably gun owners, and most probably voted for Trump.

These are the people the Left loves to hate, the ones Maddow mocks. The ones Maher and Olbermann just *know* they're so much better than.

These are The Quiet Ones. They don't wear masks and tear down statues. They don't, as a rule, march and demonstrate. And most have probably never been in a Whole Foods.

But they'll spend the next several days wading in cold, dirty water; dodging gators and water moccasins and fire ants; eating whatever meager rations are available; and sleeping wherever they can in dirty, damp clothes. Their reward is the tears and the hugs and the smiles from the terrified people they help. They'll deliver one boatload, and then go back for more.

When disaster strikes, it's what men do. Real men. Heroic men. American men. And then they'll knock back a few shots, or a few beers with like-minded men they've never met before, and talk about fish, or ten-point bucks, or the benefits of hollow-point ammo, or their F-150.

And the next time they hear someone talk about "the patriarchy", or "male privilege", they'll snort, turn off the TV and go to bed.

In the meantime, they'll likely be up again before dawn. To do it again. Until the helpless are rescued. And the work's done.

They're unlikely to be reimbursed. There won't be medals. They won't care. They're heroes. And it's what heroes do.
