A farmer died leaving his 17 horses to his 3 sons.
When his sons opened up the Will it read:

My eldest son should get 1/2 (half) of total horses.
My middle son should be given 1/3rd (one-third) of the total horses.
My youngest son should be given 1/9th (one-ninth) of the total horses.

As it’s impossible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the three sons started to fight with each other.
So, they decided to go to a farmer’s friend who they considered quite smart, to see if he could work it out for them.

The farmer’s friend read the Will patiently, after giving due thought, he brought one of his own horses over and added it to the 17. That increased the total to 18 horses.

Now, he divided the horses according to their father’s Will.

Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 horses.
1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 horses.
1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 horses.

Now add up how many horses they have:

Eldest son……..9
Middle son…….6
Youngest son…2
TOTAL IS…….17.

Now this leaves one horse over, so the farmer’s friend takes his horse back to his farm.

Problem Solved!

Moral of the story:

The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th horse i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the 18th horse the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times. However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won’t be able to reach any!

I do believe that My Hero & President, Donald J. Trump has always lived by the Moral of this story, shown above. It sure sounds like The Art Of The Deal to me. Read that Moral one more time, if you will. In our president’s mind, he has a huge corral…filled with 18th horses. What a great leader we have in President Trump! While the Democrats/ RINOS in America and all political parties in the other countries  of the world continue trying to divide 17 by 2, 3 & 9…President Trump is taking another 18th horse back into America’s huge corral,
which he created.
God Bless Donald Trump & God Bless America.

A chicken farmer went to the local bar, sat down next to a woman and ordered a glass of champagne.

The woman said, “How strange, I also just ordered a glass of champagne”.

“What a coincidence” said the farmer, who added. “It is a special day for me…I’m celebrating”.

“It is a special day for me too. I am also celebrating” said the woman.

“What a coincidence” said the farmer.

While they toasted, the man asked. “What are you celebrating”?

“My husband and I have been trying to have a child for years, and today my gynecologist told me that I was pregnant”.

“What a coincidence” said the man. “I’m a chicken farmer and for years all my hens were infertile, but now they are all set to lay fertilized eggs.”

“This is awesome” said the woman. “What did you do for your chickens to become fertile?”

“I used a different rooster” the farmer said.

The woman smiled and said. “What a coincidence.”

 

I have a simple philosophy:
Fill what’s empty. Empty what’s full.
Scratch where it itches.

Colors are hard to describe.   This guy breaks down the colors in light, much the same as water droplets break down sunlight to make a rainbow.

Pantone announces its color of the year as ‘Cloud Dancer’.   It is an off-white color so it is naturally RACIST.

https://nypost.com/2025/12/08/us-news/woke-white-women-melt-down-over-pantones-racist-color-of-the-year/

Since Hillary lost the election everything involving color is racist.    The media even changes their reports to lie about black criminals.   This is a recent example.

Maybe the MSM can issue color charts to help identify newsworthy people.

Remember that the Lord God sees what everyone does. He takes care of people who do what is right. When they pray, he listens to them. But the Lord God turns against people who do evil things.
