Democratic Candidate For Iowa Secretary Of Agriculture Once Stated That Farming Is Not That Hard

 

A video clip has resurfaced to the potential detriment of the Democratic candidate for secretary of agriculture in Iowa. In the now 5-year-old clip, posted to ‘X’ by something called the Iowa Field Report, Chris Jones stated, “A lot of this grain farming now, it’s not that hard. They’re only working a few weeks out of the year.” He added, “the truth is, you know, a lot of them are millionaires.” Yes, I think we all know at least one wealthy, lazy farmer.

These are not your grandfather’s DFLers (for the Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party, as it used to be called). They don’t like farming, and think being a farmer is a piece of cake. And that most farmers are wealthy. What do they think of Labor? Actually, they don’t believe people should have to do it. Don’t wanna work? You should get a Universal Basic Income (UBI), likely derived from taxes those lazy, millionaire farmers pay. Are you an illegal alien and don’t wanna work? You’ll get even more free stuff. Homeless and unemployed? Here’s a free crack pipe and a five-dollar bill. Now go vote for who we tell you to.

That’s the F for Farmer and the L for Labor, but what about the D for Democrat? There are precious few of those around at this point. There are no more Trumans or JFKs left. Democrats have quickly morphed into Democratic-Socialists, emphasis on Socialists. The crazier you are and the more checkered your past, the better. Want to abolish farming, labor, babies, fireworks, football, and America? The DSA is the Party for you! And it’s a big tent! Want to abolish the police, the military, and the Senate, too? Pack the court? Come on in! Won’t submit to using our preferred if inaccurate pronouns? Whoa, stay away, Beelzebub!

Jones’ assertion is as if someone running to be the head of the United Auto Workers Union (UAW) said that the internal combustion engine should be banned. Within 25 years, if we are to help save the planet. Al Gore actually did say that, back in 1992, when he was vice-president. 25 years later was 2017…9 years ago. But there is never serious follow-up questioning, no real accountability.

So, we ever more frequently hear things such as, “Being a police officer is not that hard. That’s why I think we should defund the police. Same for those in the military. It’s just not that hard to be a soldier, and I think we should abolish the military, too. Now, being Secretary of Agriculture, however, is, like, super hard. Government jobs are hard. Being a public servant is difficult, a sacrifice. But gosh darn it, we are willing to do it…for the betterment of society. For the greater good. [Because that’s just how wonderful and indispensable I —and those just like me-- are].”

These far-left nutcases make Chucky and Pennywise look like Mike Rowe and Victor Davis Hanson. Anyone who would vote for these dangerous clowns is mentally ill.

The United States is being invaded from the outside…and attacked from within. And the erstwhile Democrat Party is not only okay with this but is aiding and abetting the assaults.

           As for farmers, most of them I know work from sun-up to sundown, six days a week. They have to worry about-- and prepare for-- potential droughts, floods, late winters, record heat, bugs, blight, government policies, and changing market conditions. All to provide us with the food we need. 

          Politicians? These "public servants" take our money, squander it, and feed us lies.
