Val fitch i was born on a cattle ranch in northwest nebraska, 1923. And actually born on a ranch. This is about five miles from a little town of merriman, in the sandhills of nebraska. You probably do not know anything, but they occupy 1 5 of the state. It is prime cattle raising country. They are called the sandhills because the terrain is made out of sand. The hills are the dunes. Sand such aspierce you find at the shore. But the only thing that can be grown there without destroying the terrain is something that lives off the native grasses, and that is cattle. You try turning the soil lower, itover to grow crops and simply blows away. So, thats the sandhills dedicated to growing cattle. My father raised purebred herfords on the little ranch he had. The ranch was too small to support a family on raising beef cattle. He raised breeding stock. That was the enterprise i was born into. I have an older brother and sister. Both of them now dead. My brother was 10 years older and my sister

The recently ousted fbi director wrote a memo the day after Michael Flynn was fired alleging the president said i hope you can elect this to go talking about the fbi probe into flynn. Democrats said this dance is uncomfortably close to the Legal Definition of obstruction of justice. If you are prolific in trying to persuade of the director of a backing off a certain investigation of a certain individual is an obstruction of justice and that is a serious matter. The white house denying the allegation they quote the president has never asked anyone to and any investigation to end any investigation. The use of a non sourced material is amazing. Someone committed a crime here. This latest report one day after the Washington Post report claimed the president allegedly classified information into russian diplomats. My advice would be not to talk to the russians about anything sensitive. The Oversight Committee chairman said he and his committee would be willing to subpoena any information if
