Zohran Mamdani is calling upon New Yorkers to help shovel snow. But there’s a catch?
They’ve got to supply IDs if they want to be paid!
Patara is back, catching up with the news, and even touching on New York’s Crazytown vibe, on her Appalachian Homestead. Mexico might be lying in ruins, but Patara has her hands full with a new goat runt and other more pressing business, involving food.
Christmas will soon be fading. But before it does, let’s drop by Dollywood with Patara for a glimpse of the Christmas cheer.
What has she learned this year? She’s still undergoing transformation. Also, she issues an admonishment: Do not shrink.
Patara from Appalachia’s Homestead weighs in on the verbal skirmish between Erika Kirk and Candace Owens over whether it’s right to continue to press for the truth about who murdered Charlie Kirk. Erika is Charlie’s widow, so her wishes should certainly carry considerable weight. But should all speculation surrounding Kirk’s killers be silenced, as Erika is demanding? Not at all.
The fact is, Charlie Kirk was an outspoken and greatly admired American political leader, a man who raised many questions himself. His followers not only want the truth, they have a right to seek it out. This is not only in keeping with Charlie’s wishes, but America’s freedom-loving traditions and our cherished Bill of Rights.
Did a foreign power bring down this American icon — say Israel, Egypt, or assassins from the French Foreign Legion? How about rogue agents from the U.S. government? We’ve seen speculation implicating a host of possibly corrupt and dirty agencies — the FBI, the CIA, the ATF, even the U.S. Navy and Air Force. Frankly, if any of those agencies were involved, they need to be exposed and cleaned up — from top to bottom!
So while we understand Erika’s pain over this unresolved issue, we do not think this political assassination can be easily swept under a rug. There are definitely dirty killers, still in hiding, who need to be exposed, tried and punished. All silence will do is give us a half century or more of filthy corruption, same as continues to surround the killing of JFK to this day.
Many people have been returning to church and turning toward religion as events fly out of control in the political world.
Patara, who hosts the channel Appalachia’s Homestead, describes her mixed feelings after recommitting to Christ. Over the summer, she tried out a couple of different churches in her neck of the woods in Eastern Tennessee.
Here, she describes an intuitive feeling, perhaps an impulse, that led her to question one of those churches. She says her faith hasn’t been shaken. But she advises: Take your time. Be careful to find the right way to express your beliefs. Don’t do anything just for show or because you feel stressed.
The snakes keep slithering and the farm animals graze as Patara brings us another fresh message from Appalachia’s Homestead. Today, she’s talking about those economists and politicians forecasting gloom and doom on the horizon.
We will all be thrown into the midst of another Depression, they say. You never know. It certainly could happen. But then again, it could just be another smokescreen tossed into our laps by left-leaning politicians who suddenly have lost much of their audience.
Patara talks about these possibilities. But mostly, she addresses The Bible. Christians, she says, need to take stock of their own lives and do the best they can to uphold the faith.
Patara from Appalachia’s Homestead reacts as tremors shake the earth in her neck of the woods. Was this an undisclosed government operation or a sign from God? What could be the meaning?
Could we have panic and empty shelves in a month? Patara addresses those questions in a new edition of Appalachia’s Homestead. Young people worrying about the empty shelves need to heed the advice of their grandparents.
