ICE
Hillbilly wisdom: the energy policy of the current administration is (ICE) Invade, Control, and Extract. The Venezuelan arrangement worked so well for the United States that a variation was extended to Iran on February 28. Whose idea was it? Trump, Netanyahu or both. The reality is it does not matter.… Read more.

Contradictions and Hypocrisy
Hillbilly wisdom: You can’t make this stuff up. Finding the truth is the problem. The curtailment of the 4th estate, the consolidation of media outlets or the lack of alternate sources of information has created an environment where the least asked question is “what is going on”. The question of… Read more.

We are influenced by the company we keep
Hillbilly wisdom: you will be judged by the company you keep. When you hang with characters of questionable integrity there becomes a question about your integrity. This works more in a negative context than the positive. This goes for nation-states as well as individuals. The United States is a proxy… Read more.

Will of the voters
Hillbilly wisdom: Arkansans, wake up. Don’t overthink the issue of term limits. Twice in the last thirty years Arkansans have passed term limits by citizen initiative.

Shoffner or Cotton
Hillbilly wisdom: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Ask for a third time, you got to be kidding! Do you need a platform when your opponent has done every little over the last twelve years and particularly the last two years with his party… Read more.

Fine Print
Hillbilly wisdom: always read the fine print before you sign. This is not a judgment of the MOU signed by the United States by President Trump. Frankly, the MOU offered the United States an exit. The MOU was certainly not a good deal but it offered a way out, a… Read more.

Cotton or Shoffner
Hillbilly wisdom: congratulations have already been extended to the Cotton camp for his election victory in the November. “Land sakes alive” as momma would say, the latest polls would have us believe the race is within two percentage points. Cotton knows. But you still have to work the public. Arkansans… Read more.

Party labels
Hillbilly wisdom: a politician is a politician is a politician. Disclaimer: you cannot compare apples and oranges. They are different. Agreed. But, and there is always a but. Take an apple and cut it approximately in half, then half the halves. You have four pieces of the same apple. The… Read more.
