I like this guy very much, and wish he was still a congressman.

Prayers for his complete recovery.

Maybe now he will be free to divulge the facts about Waco, Ruby Ridge, Pan Am Flight 103, Jimmy Hoffa and the John F. Kennedy assassination. LOL!

He was a better conservative than most republicans. He was raising the alarm about Al Qeada and our open border well before 9/11.

He was a sleazy crook, but the gullible seem to search for his type, he even knew how to go get some of the republican gullible when he needed them.

Not a fan, but prayers up. City folks don’t realize how really, really ugly tractor mishaps can be.

That’s sad. Tracker accidents are really nasty and almost never end well. Prayers for him and his family.
