Good morning, and how are you guys doing? You know that Deb and I are pretty simple people. We love our Country, we love our land, we love the freedoms and liberties we’ve always enjoyed as American citizens. We believe that we live in the greatest Country on earth, but, today we see too many far-left leanings that are literally putting our entire way of life as American citizens at risk…very, very serious risk.
Shoot, I’d like to talk today about a dern garden, how the vegetables are doing, how fine Deb’s been coming along, and just sit around and “shoot the bull” with you guys! But today in our Country there are things we need to make people aware of. How does this happen, well, by talking about it. I don’t enjoy speaking to you guys from a political perspective in the least, BUT, I do feel it’s something that needs to be done. So, let’s talk a little… Today I’d like to talk about the pricing Deb and I are seeing, not only at the grocery store, and the gas pump, but pretty much just about anything you purchase today. It’s really getting tough out there.

Why is this? I’d talked with my Mother earlier in the week, and they have quite a few beef cows that my brother oversees on the ranches for her and Dad. First of cattle prices are extremely good, and have been for a while now. Mom was telling me though that Dad had spoken with some people and they were telling him that the price of hamburger meat could hit $5 per pound, possibly by the end of summer. That to me is unreal. I swear we don’t see how families with 3 to 4 children are continually able to put good meals on the table. The job markets are down, the pay scales in many cases have dropped substantially, gas is already quite expensive, food prices are rocketing, and it looks as if there’ll be no solution, or downward trend anywhere in the near future. We were promised “change,” and that’s exactly what we’ve gotten… “change!” Yet, we’re told things are getting better. Getting better?? Let’s examine just “how better” things HAVE gotten. Food stamp rolls, or what they like to call, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, has grown over 70% since 2007! 70 %! That is sinful…literally! More...

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!

Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end.  But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.

Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.

Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
