Billions of dollars in taxes!!! Not being used for America!!!😮 People need to wake up!!!!🤬

Mike, As A British Citizen , I Think We Are Worse Off Than You Here In The UK , Its Terrible😢, We Need To Turn The Clocks Back Fifty Years & Start Again 🇬🇧👍

We moved to southern Missouri. Very close to the freedoms of yesteryear. Shocking change from Illinois. We called the county to find out what permits we would need to build a house. The lady asked if we were building in a subdivision or had an HOA. We said no, we have 80 acres. She said, well that would be none. Love it.

The pain is real, Melissa. Plantar Fasciitis pain is excruciating first thing in the morning. I used to feel like I'd trodden on the sharpest stone. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. Stay strong, Mike.

You’re not going to catch any grief from me Mike. I with you all the way.

Keep talking about freedom Mike. You have a great platform for it, so why not.

They ruined logging out here in the Pacific Northwest back in the 80s because of the spotted owl. Then it turns out it was the Barred owl, and now they plan on killing half a million of them! Let nature sort itself out!! Today is my 56th birthday, and I got a freedom "rant" from Mike! I love it. Keep 'em coming!!👍👍👍

Keep being yourself “Mike”. That’s why we watch your channel.

Mike I totally agree with you, as a vet who served 2 tours overseas. This is the greatest country even with our faults!!!

Awesome video! Love yall! Freedom isn't Free !! God bless our Military, First Responders and True Patriots like Yall!

PF is no joke. I find that rolling my foot over a frozen water bottle helps with the pain and inflammation. Glad your finding relief.

"I worked in the field of disabilities for 25 year.....very compassionate to those in need....pretty good at showing compassion..." "Not to my problem you're not." Welcome to the world of marriage.

Poor Blueford. He doesn't get used.

"Who cooks for you, who cooks for you," is the call of the Barred Owl. Definitely a favorite in the North Georgia mountains.

Mike, Three years ago I installed an owl box in the woods behind my house. We have watched three broods of 2 Barred Owls each year. I feel very grateful to be that close. Washington state should leave nature alone and let them survive as they should.

Agreed completely. We are the patriots, Mike. The ones who insist freedom is still our highest ideal. Because we are prepared to pay the cost to preserve that.

I used to have real bad Plantar Fasciitis. I had custom foot inserts made from the foot doctor, they helped some. What really helped me was losing 30 pounds. Now no fit problems and I am a lot healthier. Fifty years after high school and I am at graduation weight with a goal getting below 200, which would be 8 grade level. Stay safe and keep up the talking about our lack of freedoms. God bless All Americans.

I too had PF for many many years, tried all kinds of inserts, specially shoes etc. I later on hurt my knee removing a mower deck from Kubota tractor. From favoring the bad knee for a year my good knee started hurting too. This all about 8-10 years ago. 2 bad knees, PF in right foot. Went to numerous doctors, nothing worked or worked for very long. In 25 minutes at the Good Feet store I spent $1,500 on their series of three plastic inserts and began wearing them and followed their plan. I went in because of the knee pain but the PF was hurting too. They said “our system will fix it all”. It Did. It’s been 2 years and knee pain is gone , PF pain is gone. Started getting better in about 2 weeks and kept on getting better. Sorry Melissa but you and anyone who has not had PF pain just don’t have the perspective to be critical of someone that has the condition. Thanks for producing such quality content, I am sure it’s difficult to get all the quality shots you have in your videos.

Keep standing up for your rights and what you believe is freedom . 🦅 Thanks for sharing your video about the owls it is sad. 👍👍👍👍👍

Keep celebrating your Freedom Mike and Melissa, how ever you feel it serves you and your family.

My wife is just like Melissa, no compassion for me lol ! Compassion for others but for me she just says “walk it off”! Glad I’m not alone !

Wow, what a beautiful baby it’s a pleasure to see a baby smile. It just makes you feel better. God bless her and God bless you guys. What a beautiful life you have. I’m envious of you.

"Don't stay in your safe spot." Funny, I just had this conversation with a coworker today about that, in a company that is in the hands of leaders that are clueless. Truth and transparency wins.

Welcome to getting old Mike!😊 pain management is a way of life after 50.

Watched one of your videos from 6 years ago gosh what a change in all our lives , so enjoy your channel thanks for your videos and all your comments on life from Peter here in France

Sounds like a heel spur. I have experience with the same foot problem. I went to a podiatrist and spent over $800 on orthotic shoe inserts. After 2 years it made my feet hurt even more. Next step was to have surgery. A friend suggested I go to a reflexologist. The reflexologist ground the heel spur off with a hot stone (took less than 20 minutes) and I haven't had any trouble in over 15 years. And it cost me about $35. It's worth a try.

Love the way the two of you banter back-and-forth

you two are so right for each other, it's a joy to see and hear you talk about your lives together. mike I hope your foot heals quickly. thank you for these videos, I enjoy them so much. when I get up your videos are the first thing I watch.

Those big get togethers just get tougher and tougher as we get older each year.... More time, more money, more responsibility, more liability, more money, all leads up to zero fun for the folks that host it.

I know your struggle Mike, my wife is a nurse, I came close to removing my entire thumb, not an ounce of compassion, the stuff we have to put up with😂.

Hi Mike and family. It's part of being free to say: we are no longer making a big 4th of July party, from here on out we are taking things slow. About dog licenses, like most of the restrictions, is about "those people" who don't take care of their pets and about accountability if something bad happens. Down here in MX, we have nothing of the sorts, but we also have packs of dogs that turned wild because they were abandoned and had cases of those packs attacking little kids and adults.

We are all for FREEDOM too!!! Love your views on it all!!! We would get along fantastically!!! Love you all. Thank you for what you do. Take care and may God overwhelm you and your family with blessings!

Mike I feel your plan, My wife the same way! Your dog get more compassion then me! Mike you should get some steel targets for next year & Let Freedom Ring!!!💯💥👍

I get what you are saying Mike. Back in 2000-2008 I owned a cabin in Accident Maryland, the State of Maryland implemented what we called a flush tax to anyone who owned a septic system. The money was to be used to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay. Even though my property was located on the other side of the Eastern Continental Divide and there was no way anything from my septic would make it to the bay, I had to pay it. Still scratching my head on that one.

I'm with ya Mike. I appreciate being able to do as I please on my piece of this earth. I know that not everyone is capable of that. Sorry you are dealing with the pain in your foot, hope you heal quickly.

I have several Barred Owls around my property. I got a great photo of one just the other day. Just an awesome bird.

We now let our kids do the fireworks, cooking, cleanup on the 4th of July. We come, eat and watch...Plantar is soft tissue and takes its own time to heal...

Hey Mike, I was in Lowe’s at 6am when they opened, I had to get a few sacks of mulch in the garden center, it was still dark and as I was loading the mulch onto the cart, this HUGE RAT went running across the top of the shelving. The next thing I know, this MASSIVE OWL swoops down out of the darkness from the back of the garden center, grabs the rat, and flew back to where is was perched in the back of the garden center. It was SO COOL and SO SILENT, gotta tell ya, I was thankful for that owl that morning!!

One of the reasons we moved from a subdivision that had an HOA was because I found that I had a huge dead pine tree in my back yard. I called a tree service to get a bid on taking it down. The tree service man asked me if I had gotten my permit to have it taken down. I told him no, that I didn't know I needed a permit to remove a dead tree. He informed me that if I had it removed without a permit the HOA would sue me. I went to the HOA office and filled out paperwork to have the tree removed. About two to three weeks later I went out in my back yard and saw a red ribbon tide around the dead tree and then about two to three days later I found my approval permit taped to my front door. We now own ten acres with about 15 trees and if for some unknown reason I wake up one morning I decide I don't want anymore trees (that will never happen) I can crank up the chainsaw and cut them all down and I don't need a permit. This was a real long way of saying I agree with you 100%. Keep up the good work.

I had PF 25 years ago. My doctor prescribed 3 ibuprofen 4 times a day for a month. It worked like a charm. I am a farmer and have not had PF since.

Is there a price tag on my comfort?? LOL. Most of us can sympathize with Mike & Melissa's point of view.

Mike, in Maine (live in PA) while field mowing I observe the field mouse and a mouse that jumps like a kangaroo. That is a woods mouse. One day I watched a wood mouse jumping about 3 feet high and on the third jump a hawk picked him off at the third jump 15 feet from me. Never will forget it.

Boy , that's really a compassionate viewpoint - always nice to know your wife is so concerned about your wellbeing .............

That grand child is so cute and blessed to be in your good grasses. That's the best looking child. Thanks for sharing.

Blueford looks lonely back there!

Dog license, “pet peeve”. Good one Mike.

Hi Mike! Was a long haul trucker for 30 years. Had similar issues related to you, but far more severe symptoms than what you are mentioning. Was preparing to get the traditional surgery for this issue. I had a regular route several decades ago from New England to Pittsburgh every Sunday night for a few years. While in Pittsburgh I would listen to a local chiropractor, Dr. James Winer, who had a clinic in Pittsburgh. On one of the programs he talked about his treatment for plantar fasciitis. I called his office and set up an appointment for the following week. After about 1/2 dozen treatments I was cured. Over the decades later, occasionally I felt a the beginnings of the plantar fasciitis returning. I started up the stretching exercises he had given me and the pain went away. The treatment started with a rigorous stretching of the Achilles tendon with a hard rounded plastic tool with small ball at end of it. A little painful😳😂. They mixed in some deep muscle massage of the calf all the way up to gluteus maximus. After 1 hour of this I would meet with Dr. Winer for the chiropractic adjustment. Then he would give me 3 exercises to do every day until the next appointment. The first was to stand facing a wall and lean forward with palms against wall with only the toes of one foot touching the wall about 2 inches. The idea was to stretch the muscles/tendons from the tip of the toes to the heel. The second stretch was the traditional runners’ hamstring stretch. That stretched the muscles between the glutes and where the hamstring inserts into the bottom of the heel. There may have been a couple of other exercises like touching toes while standing, but it was 20 years ago and that’s what I remember. Dr Winer explained that long haul truckers spend 10 hours a day(currently 11 hours a day) in the sitting position. This leads to a shortening of the hamstring. When we go to sleep on our back the legs are in the extended position. The pain in plantar fasciitis results with the shortened hamstring tendon tries to pull out of where it inserts into the bottom of the heel. 😢Am medically retired from trucking last year and have not been through Pittsburgh for a while. Checked and found that the Winer Wellness Center is still quite busy, but the founder, Dr Winer, died in 2017, some saying from mysterious circumstances. Who knows. I do know he and his staff were experts in treating environmental allergies, such as peanut allergies, etc. Even 20 years ago they were quite busy and on the expensive side, but as far as the plantar fasciitis treatment, as long as you did your exercises you never had to go back. Dr. Winer also mentioned that if you did regular stretching exercises you need for regular chiropractic treatment would be greatly reduced. He would say that stiff muscles would cause the skeleton to be pulled out of alignment, necessitating weekly chiropractic adjustments, which he felt was ridiculous and unnecessarily expensive! Best of luck to you and your family. My appreciation for everything you are doing compelled me to contact you. If you have any questions feel free to email me. 😎

Thanks for being you and not afraid to show it!

I LOVE Mike's solution. "Just paint spots on them" LOL. It makes a lot more sense than killing all those owls. Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us. Regards from central Arkansas.

The barred owl is one of my favorite animals and I really love listening to their calls. They are just the coolest birds.

Mike/ Melissa, keep doing what you are doing. I am a79 year old Pennsylvanian transplanted to Florida, former hunter and user of Schroeder fireplace. My neighbor and me would hunt in the morning and cut trees down in the afternoon about 25 miles from home. Haul the wood home split it by hand and get ready for the cold days. We did this after getting electric bills over the roof. I truly enjoy and envy what you two are doing. I miss the mountains and the four seasons. Again, thanks for your videos. Bob

Couldn't agree more Mike, I to am a FREEDOM loving American and am profoundly saddened how many freedoms we have lost and even more sad to see the numbers of Americans that are okay with that. Yes vote for freedom!

I live in Communist Oregon and enjoy watching your channel. The spotted owl destroyed our logging industry. The only endangered species is American Citizens! I don't know personally, but I've heard spotted owl tastes like chicken.

Mike, I had a similar experience while bow hunting. An owl, which fly silent, landed in a tree right beside my treestand in an adjacent tree, just a few feet away. It was holding a squirrel, it spotted me and dropped the squirrel and flew off. Crazy experience.

I had PF a few times, the most help was some simple exercises found on KZfaq. I built my house in 1975 and only had an electrical inspection in order to get connected. I did ALL the work except laying block and stretching the carpet. Something has to give!

I love it when Melissa is the truth checker!!! She brings Mike down to ground so beautifully. 🤣

A few years ago, before my mini-schnauser passed on, there was a large hoot owl that would set on the fence in my back yard. I swore it was sizing up my dog for an easy meal. The owl has since moved on and I haven't heard it in the neighborhood for quite a while now. Since the barred owls weren't introduced out west and just naturally migrated out there I think they should leave them alone and let nature run it's course. That may seem harsh to some, but man doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to interfering with nature.

I love calling barred owls with my voice, while I'm turkey hunting, love you guys

I ve had it for six months and the pain sucks. So I am glad you came out with this. Maybe I can get so relief.

I am an Outlaw, I have built a house without Permits back when our Township didn't have them in NE Pa and never licensed my dogs! I was President of the Borough Council and stood against home permits when it was brought up! Permitting is a big Racket! Since I have moved to Florida in 1993 they have probably went to Permits there, I don't know.

Good morning Morgans and friends

Who gives a HOOT👍👍👍

Hey Mike, Don't sweat for 40 years. June 3rd was 64 years for me. I hope to have a few more. My advice would be to remember all the friends and acquaintances you have made over the years.

Big party is commendable!! It is alot of work!! Yall are blessed ... true blue american family!!

Love watching the two of you - Hilarious! Nobody is a hero in their own kitchen... Happy to hear your getting relief on your foot pain; I watch my wife suffer with her Plantor Fasciitis and it's no joke (and she's tough!). Agree 100% with your assessment of the state of "Freedom" today in our country but it is "our country" and still the best in the world!! Totally understand your family's need to take a break this year on the 4th of July party. You both have to be some of the most productive people I've ever come to know (through your channel). You have inspired us to grow our interests and skills and we have totally transformed our lives by spending more time outside!! Keep up all your hard work, we have shared your story with several hard-working close friends, and they enjoy keeping up with your adventure now too!

Couldn’t agree more, definitely should not be killing any Owls. They are wonderful native birds. Uk 🇬🇧 also has them on the protective list. There’s a cool KZfaq video showing a Owl in flight and it’s completely silent.

I was plagued with plantar fasciitis for a number of years. I had numerous visits to podiatrists, including cortisone injections, followed by intense physical therapy sessions to no avail. Concluding that surgery might be upcoming, my PT sessions were curtailed, keeping my eligibility for a number of them in case they were needed for surgical follow-up. As a last resort my doctor decided to fit me with custom orthotics, not covered by insurance. Wearing them felt like I had a golf ball under my arch. However, after a number of weeks my pain just disappeared. I do daily stretching exercises for the foot area and have been pain free ever since. Good luck with your therapy at the Good Feet store, Mike!

I suffered with plantar fasciitis for a long time and the relief finally came from using a brace/boot that is worn only when sleeping. I felt relief after just one night after suffering for years. It took a month or so to for it to go away entirely. I found out about the boot after my wife got PF and went to an orthopedic Dr and he prescribed the boot, it cost $400 after insurance paid part of it. I found the identical boot on Amazon for $38, ordered one my size and started using it, worked and completely cured it. It has been 10 years now and still am pain free, but I have never again worn cheap shoes and always have good support for the arches.

Great video Mike

Did your son in law make it on the Olympic team?

i agree . i missed seeing your fireworks .my birthday . your were the best . realy enjoyed them . someday you may have the event again . god bless the morgans thank you for all the joy and information . go hunter go.

Oh me…. Mike and Melissa I whole heartedly agree !!! Would you be up to running for office ?? lol. Have a great day compadres. Randy in Texas.

tax on tax on tax after tax.... 50% of your check goes to taxes one way or another... probably closer to 60%

I have rescued two bard owls out of our woods. Lot work. Hand feeding. They eventually went to wild bird sanctuary. Great experience.

Mike I have had that lost weight that helped plus Custom made work boots that was the ticket I don’t have it anymore thank God Mike you are right it hurts like hell Melissa he’s not lying it’s really really painful

Hello Morgans. Your channel is such a welcome escape from the state of our world right now. Wanted to weigh in on the plantar faciitis. I’ve been a fitness instructor for almost 30 years. Had it bad a number of years ago in both feet. Did all the things, footbeds, freezing water bottles, dragging a towel toward you with the toes, etc. It lasted until I started teaching yoga. My recommendation is doing ‘downward facing dog’ and then bicycling your heels. Do this after you’ve been active for a bit (warmed up). Mine completely disappeared.

Mike and Melissa we are with you 100%. We are red blooded patriots thru and thru. On another note…It is hilarious watching you and Melissa go on at each other😂. 👍❤️

Melissa, you are so funny. I just love the facial expressions and the lack of empathy. Love it. Sorry Mike, I have had it before and it is painful.

I know you guys feel. The wife and I did a breakfast for my Motorcycle club on the first Sunday of November for 20 years. Last year was our last and ended up having over 70 people. It takes a lot out of you and you really don't get to enjoy the day the way you like too.

That what I thought. Good for you for for taking time for yourself, you family and also Mike’s high school reunion. I concur that they shouldn’t kill the owls either. It is a natural migration of these owls. It’s how nature works. Oh well. You are not wrong about our freedoms.

I used to have Plantar Fasciitis. It was miserable. My foot DR. sent me to a place that catered to the running crowd. They fitted me for 3/4 length hard arch support inserts. I was completely cured in about 6 weeks. I'm still using the inserts I bought 25 years ago.

Love your shirt Melissa!! West Virginia will get in your blood!! Hope you get better soon, Mike.

I USED to watch The Regis and Kathy Lee show..I would gladly watch tlThe Mike and Melissa show.

Love it, Love it, Love it! Speak truth, facts and reality. Best channel ever!

Nothing surprises me out here in CA. Built an owl house for barn owls. Have had 1-2 hatchings for last 10 years. Super fun to watch from the back patio and great natural rodent control. Save the barn owl!

My daughter is a Pedorthist she makes personalized orthotics professionally. She also suffers from plantar fasciitis. It’s a real condition There are many things you can do to help recovery but cutting out sugar and lowering carbs and a general healthy calorie intake with an associated drop in BMI will keep it away for good. The continued or reoccurring sore feet is an early warning of extremity inflammation. If you do this you will begin to notice the general aches and pains return when you cheat, literally the next morning, and everybody cheats. Over time the truth of this life style becomes self apparent. Doctors lower the bar for diabetes as we age so do it now or you will not get the institutional help you may need. Those deer wandering around your property are some of the best nutrition available. Just forgo the gravy thickeners and add more Cruciferous vegetables less high carb veg and for the first two weeks keep under 20 grams of carbs. As you become less restrictive add focused large muscle group strength training I’m sure Melissa can provide resources. Go easy but don’t look back. Never feel bad about setbacks treat it like a project you want to accomplish in a year. Then a decade. Then part of who you are. Kevin

Good Morning Morgan Family- Have a Fantastic and Blessed Day

Vote for freedom! ❤

Everything you guys say is true, and I'm with you!

I’m with you Mike and Melissa our government state and federal agencies are out of control.

Mike, just a suggestion. A 4in1 bucket for your large or small track loader would be a great tool in your tool box. To reach up over and grab material is a great way to get it moved. Love your channel, keep em coming!

When I had planter fasciitis, I worked in law-enforcement for 37 years so I would sit in a chair with my foot on a bar and roll the bar back-and-forth underneath my feet, I’ve also used a tennis ball. It helped tremendously.

Wow mike, your 40th class reunion! You look well preserved for your age :)

Mike, I have had plantar fasitis several times .I bought a tens unit on line and used it for several weeks. It really helped me and rest it whenever you can . I am a flagger and on my feet all day.

I just got over my plantar faucitis. Was bothering me for 7 months. I stood on concrete for 22 years in a factory plant. Finally went to the foot Dr. and finally got a strong ibuprofen that finally got rid of the inflammation and got their special shoe inserts. I hope to never go through that again. Glad your getting over yours faster than I did.

I concur Mike and Melissa. Gov=Money= Power= Control…

I had PF for 10 years, I bought a pair of Birkenstock shoes. It took a week, but now my PF is gone! I have a few pairs of Birkenstocks and that is all I wear. They even have inserts for other shoes. If that isn't what you are doing with the good feet store, I would give them a try. I'm so happy with them!

Great and very pertinent rant! God bless!

I have the same problem with my feet as well Mike. I can totally sympathize with you.

Mike, I had that foot problem for months. I was told to try freezing water bottles and then laying one on the floor and rolling it under your foot. It worked for me and I passed that on to a few other people that developed the problem and it worked for them as well. Cheap and worth a try. It took about 2 weeks to really get better.
