Voter turn out
Hillbilly wisdom: This is not a guilt trip. I think I understand. The last Arkansas election was decided by 54% of the voters. The reasons for this low turn out are varied, personal and no one’s business but those who elected not to vote (pun intended). There were no real… Read more.

Appearance, Mr. President, is everything
Hillbilly wisdom: It is sad to see a person fail because the bar is to high. Each day brings expectations of a new record and it becomes impossible to meet the level of the bar. When you think the rules do not apply to your actions; when any disagreement is… Read more.

Question for Congress
Hillbilly wisdom: we practice vanity in different ways. When appearance takes precedence over substance. Over the last week both the Vice President and the President stated publicly there is not a war. Trump further states the military action in the Middle East is “small potatoes. Just a little military conflict.… 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.

Economic Warfare
Hillbilly wisdom: you can live in America and never be a part of the community. Secretary of Defense Hegseth would change the military community into a homogeneous group and his group (A) is the correct group. President Trump has his own group (B)- wealthy businessmen, totally isolated from the mass… Read more.

Fair Elections
Hillbilly wisdom: the election is a toss-up is bullshit. The election is not even close. The haves will win again and the have-nots will be a distant second. But the election rhetoric is necessary- there must be a race otherwise there would be no democracy. AND it must be a… Read more.

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.
