The AP, one of the alleged recipients of USAID largesse, has come out swinging:

Do read the very last paragraph as it's hilarious. The article is basically "We're just neutral fact-checkers examining these claims..." [spends whole article doing technical nitpicking] "And by the way, did you know USAID is a wonderful independent agency bringing hope and innovation to 100 countries for 60 glorious years?"
The cognitive dissonance is amazing:
"These claims about USAID are misleading and need careful fact-checking. Also here's some unexamined agency propaganda we'll just drop in at the end apropos of nothing in particular!"
It's like watching someone insist they're not biased while wearing the team jersey.
The kids competed at the Summer Speed Series last weekend and Lily took 2nd place in barrel racing on Sassy with Daddy at the lead. Lynn really turned it up on the home stretch! He told Lily ahead of time to say whoa if he was going too fast but told her “I will do everything I can to win.”
if you have plans to race around an arena with a horse and a kid anytime soon, may I suggest a daily regiment of fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture? It’s a nutrient dense, food based source of vitamins A, D & K along with omega-3‘s. I credit it with keeping my body young and my mind open to crazy adventures like this.

I never travel without hard-boiled eggs from our farm. I don’t care how many people stare at me. And yes, I also bring my own sea salt. I went to Colorado last weekend for my friend’s wedding and brought a whole lunchbox on the airplane. Some women bring a makeup bag. I bring sauerkraut.
I also never travel without the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. It comes in capsules that pack easily in your suitcase. It helps fill in the vitamin and omega 3 gap when I’m eating on the road. I also credit it with keeping my immune system strong. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at checkout.

Years ago I envisioned a life without daily poop patrol. I figured my kids would be out of diapers and I could say goodbye to the stink. I was wrong! Managing poop is a a big part of farming. It takes some learning but if you do it well, you can use it to your advantage.
