July 4, 2020.
It feels particularly ominous.
Why? Unless you’ve been living under a rock, there is a civil war afoot. Many parts of the country have already descended into social chaos and lawlessness. Sooner or later, it might come to a region near you.
We are in a battle for the soul of the United States of America, which is presently quite unUnited.
There is so much anti-American activity going on here right now, it’s mind-boggling. It is embedded from top to bottom. Many open skirmishes have taken place. People have already been killed. Whether you like it or not, if you live in the good old USA, you’re a part of it.
I, for one, have committed to do my part as a patriotic American – so far as upholding the Constitution of the United States as it was written. To preserve our history, be it the good parts or the bad parts. Fighting for traditional American / Family values. Your right to religion. Freedom. Liberty. All those things which are the basis and roots of our great country.
How am I doing my part in this battle? Well in case you haven’t noticed lately, I’m using my blog to frequently address various angles of current events which are taking place. Providing my observations, opinions, and enabling you to input and comment yourselves. I will continue to write on various preparedness topics. However this fight will take front and center. Because if we lose it, it’s over. Sites like mine will be taken down. My voice will disappear. That’s what Communist Marxists do, and that’s just for starters…
That is my own best contribution that I can make in this fight for Independence since I have this platform.
I will not stand down.
Reminds me of the lyrics from Tom Petty,
“I Won’t Back Down”
Well, I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down
No, I’ll stand my ground
Won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won’t back down
Happy 4th-of-July
(always my favorite Holiday)
Stay strong my friend, you are a light on the hill. A beacon of reason and levelheadedness. Thank you for the insight, wisdom, and thought provoking articles. Dark days come but there is light, there is always light.
Oh the irony. I heard a politician on tv telling everyone that as we celebrate Independence Day to remember groups of more than 10 people are a violation and you need to stay at home.
The Founding fathers must be rolling in there graves and saying “oh well it was a pretty good run”.
Happy Independence Day to everyone and I plan on celebrating it by responsibly exercising my 2 Amendment right. First bullseyes, then a few beers, then BBQ.
If I remember correctly when George Washington and his men were hold up at Valley Forge and A small pox outbreak occurred among the ranks. Washington ordered all the men to line up roll up their sleeves. The surgeon took a scale blade ran across an small pox infested man then ran the blade across the rest of the healthy men to expose them. It was a crude method of inoculation.
Talk about blood and guts patriotism. These modern Democrat Tyrants are spinless power hungry puzays! Time for real men to stand up to them.
Just tell them you are peaceful liberals celebrating the summer of love and you will not have to worry about mask or social distancing. ( sarc)
But the Founding Fathers never had to deal with a pandemic.
DavyB
You missed the ‘small pox’ during the war posted by one of our members. They just handled it differently back then.
They used their brains, and did not control the citizens of the new emerging nation.
Thank goodness they did not have social media which we drowning in now.
DavyB
You are so correct.
What they had to deal with is:
Hypothermia, lack of food, munitions, proper medical, malnutrition, and in most cases, no additional backup. Just a handful of believers.
But they succeeded….why?
They all believed in FREEdom. Gave their lives, for such a belief.
We will never see again, these types of Patriots in our lifetime
Jmo
DavyB they also had to deal with their dollars of the day called Contentals becoming totally worthless due to lack of gold backing them and unlimited printing to “pay” for stuff. General George Washington complained just before Valley Forge that a wagon load of paper contentals would scarcely buy a wagon load of supplies for his army. It was NOT due to lack of food and boots etc. to buy, the British could buy all they needed Because they had REAL Money the British Gold Sovereign.
Hyperinflation from too much money printing was nothing new to congress
Indeed, Lock and Load!
I WILL NOT BACK DOWN EITHER the scary sad thing is there is NOTHING the average human can do to stop this from happening and all we can do is get ready to either bug out or hunker down in place
i may not have taken the oath the military and law enforcement have but i will stand with those that did anyway come hell or high water
Speaking as the average guy, It will take quite a lot to stir me up though at some point most will hit the breaking point and snap.
As crappy as things are for me at times, my life I know it’s a world of differences compared to places like Somalia, Sudan, china, NK!
Genetic dice roll that I ended up where I am or even alive but aside of issues Americans have I’d so damn glad I’m here and not somewhere else.
I love this country, the freedoms (imagined or otherwise), the flag.
Side bit, spending the last few days out on the tractor in the high 80* cutting hay and fixing all the crap that keeps breaking like the most recent, lost a FR wheel bearing from the main tractor.
Ken,
I understand your sentiments and share your anguish. Folks need to be smart about their preps and judicious in their kinetic responses. Cool headed, appropriate action/reaction to conflict will prevail in the end.
The ballot box is still our best chance. We lose that battle, we probably have lost the country. I’ve said it before…….whoever has the government on their side, will win….at least short of an extended hot civil war that the government tires of fighting.
So, what can the average person do, besides vote? Leave home to do battle in a Marxist stronghold, far from your home stomping grounds? Or do you defend your home turf if the Marxists antifa and blm are silly enough to come to your town……or home?
I’m 70 years old, still got a little fight left in me. Got a whole lot of knowledge stored up in my old head (most times I can recall some of it). Don’t have the strength and agility I once had, but keep my martial skills well honed through daily therapy.
My contribution to a fight would most likely start and end within walking distance of my home. But………that fight would be worth paying to see.
Make a stand WHERE you stand. And please… at least VOICE your support for patriots who cannot, for whatever reason, leave one of the “Marxist strongholds…” …There are MANY OF US “behind enemy lines” right now…
Tom –
I spent many years behind those enemy lines, so I know exactly what you mean and precisely what toll it takes. I assure you, the culmination of years where my voice was silenced has only caused it to grow fierce and loud. I will speak for you.
We lose the election and all hell will break out. The left will be completely out of control . It will like the purge only it won’t be fiction.
Always appreciate your thoughts Dennis. I am in the same boat as you….BUT can honestly say, my “stand” would be well worth the price of admission!
I’ve been around for a lot of year’s Vietnam, 9/11, etc. and I have never seen the people of this country mentally lost and depress as I do today. Are government refuses to stand up and protect the citizens, the laws they have written make the honest person a criminal wall exempting themselves from those very same laws, the U.S. debt is out of control. We the citizens have no place to go to escape this. I can’t imagen what our world is going to be like in a year.
We lose the election and all hell will break out. The left will be completely out of control . It will like the purge only it won’t be fiction.
I keep waiting for a Trump ad that goes something like this,
Ad picturing the take overs and tearing down of history etc. The wording would say, for instance, Vote Democrat and this is coming to a city near you….
Mrs. U,
There is a Trump ad where someone calls 911 and gets a message something like this: Due to the defunding of the police, this number is no longer working. If you are calling about a rape, press one. If you are calling about anything else, leave your number and someone will get back to you. Expected wait time — 5 days.
Chuck
“It will like the purge only it won’t be fiction.”
Agreed. And it won’t last just one night, either.
I hope it is like the Purge. Left, right, wrong, or indifferent the world could use a lot less awful people.
No I will not back down either. Actually it’s taking quite a lot of restraint for me to not go out and be “proactive”. Keep your mags loaded and your blades sharp and when the time comes, don’t hesitate.
Ken,
I stand with you in that there is absolutely no chance I will stand down. These anti American commies have no idea what they are about to unleash. You and I are lucky indeed to be where we are, it is unlikely they will physically make it to our AO, in my opinion, but theeffects certainly will.
This once great Nation may be in it’s death throes, bit you cannot kill an idea, and it will rise again, just be sure to pass on the real history of the country. Liberty minded people will never submit. Although this may be our last as a nation, I wish you and everyone here a Happy Independence Day.
May God bless these United States.
kevinH The United State of America is not dead yet, though it’s certainly under attack. It’s discouraging and demoralizing at times to witness the assault on our freedoms, the attacks ordinary citizens, and the targeted destruction of anything of cultural or historical value. Be of good cheer, though! Why? Methinks they did ‘release the hounds’ prematurely. As demoralizing and frustrating as the medical lockdowns were, the spirits of the general population weren’t completely crushed by it. Maybe the rioting was supposed to finish that job, but I think instead it revealed to more and more on the left side of the political spectrum (not marxists, but those well-intended but misguided Demos) that they better step up to protect themselves. I’ll bet there’s been an insane amount of gun purchases made by people who just a bit ago wanted gun control. Not a lot of public outcry for gun control now, is there? There are now a lot more guns, behind a lot more blades of grass. Also, the revolution has already started eating its own in the cancel culture arena. Facebook, is a good example. But this is happening while there are still alternatives like this site, Gab and more.… Read more »
Farmgirl,
JMHO, they released their hounds, they have no idea the damage that will do to their cause, many of the democrats(not hardcore leftist) are appalled by the BS. Thats just my observation, i feel it my actually be a plus as most folks have no interest in destroying our history and there is enough time to discuss these events to expose the divisive nature of all of this garbage. The violence and destruction of public and private property is frowned upon by most. Doesn’t matter what side, they have a strong distaste for it. We shall see come Nov, but personally, DJT is not them so…..
To be clear, to those who don’t know me very well, the ‘dark ones’ I refer to are the dark of spirit, as in evil. As in, the absence of Light.
Realized in my re-read, which I really ought to do *before* hitting submit, that those words could be misinterpreted.
Farmgirl – aww geez. I never would have seen that in your words. But you are correct. And if you were a famous person, you’d be under siege right now. What a world.
Farmgirl, wow! You are right…I did not see the other meaning until you pointed it out-but the dems would seize on misinterpreting your statement in a heartbeat. There is much evil roaming free right now. Because they no longer care that we know exactly what they have in mind means they are blowing through full steam now.
Farmgirl,
I sure hope you are right, I go back and forth on it…if all the Patriots stand together we cannot lose, but three percent will not cut it…I feel like so many will just take it, I swear to God, if I hear “new normal” one more time…
My husband and I are your age and feel the same. We cant ‘bug out’ and will have to stand our ground right here. We feel ready. Hoping we are wrong and it wont come to that.
I too am trying to encourage civil civic conversation making the point about the election being a vote for our country and not just who’s going to pad your bank account. At the same time, I am working on moving to an area where I believe the local community can operate under the radar by free market principles self sufficiently.
May God bless us all as we express our gratitude for the nation’s founding and pledge ourselves to her preservation.
Reverse gear is out on my transmission.
Chevy,
Don’t park anywhere you have to back out. Years ago I had reverse go out on my car as well. It took some time to get used to it but after a while I was about to park in places where reverse was not required or I was able to roll the car back to back out of a spot. I didn’t have the money to get it fixed. So I used the ‘Make do’ part of ‘use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without.’
I think he meant he won’t and can’t back up from his convictions
Good point poorman.
I didn’t see it like that until you pointed it out.
The result is still the same. To always be going forward.
Regards
Old Man made a comment last night. McCluosky, the man who defended his wife and himself against a mob with an AR15 when the police wouldn’t, is just the first. What democrats and the criminals who riot and loot don’t understand is that the silent majority is silent, but we are pissed. They have no idea what they are up against.They have no idea how many of us there are and how pissed we are. Time to take the safety off the AR15 and time for dems to take harp lessons.
Old man has a way with words!
Actually, I believe the couple you mentioned are Democrats. It is entirely possible we’ll have some converts as a result of all of these shenanigans. As the saying goes, “There are no atheists in foxholes”.
I am am Atheist and I have no problems with foxholes..or death.
Ision
Fair enough. That expression, to me, isn’t so much about having a particular belief, just that the spectre of death tends to clarify for people what they *really* believe.
Sounds like you’re already clear!
I’ll share a foxhole with anyone that’s a Patriot, atheist or not…
Ken
Thank you for running this blog,
I suspect there are millions who read it and sit at home silently nodding their head in agreement most days.
None of us have a crystal ball, everyone has their limits. I have faith in my community, but that does not mean i will blindly follow anyones BS rules if they go against the basic principals of our constitution and country, we ALL have limits.
God save us.
Grant me wisdom
I may be the oldest person on this blog and I have seen my country go thru some tuff times but it always comes out on top. No, I do not have my head stuck in a sand hole but I know a free people some how always make the right choices in the end; sometimes after they have tried everything else. Now as far as the communists, BLM, socialist, the left leaning, antifi well, take note: do not push me too far. I may be old but there comes a point where I will react in a manner that you can not handle. 200 yards is well within my range and my military oath and training is still in effect. God bless America. How did I get so angry?
Ok, how old is that?
Thank you for the significant contributions you are making, Ken, and to the commenters for their valuable insights. I have to say that in my 53 years, I am more concerned now about the future of our republic than I’ve ever been before. Perhaps the 60’s were the same for those who experienced it first hand. I was merely a pup. I am mostly concerned about the future for my two children – 21 and 13. That is what weighs most heavily on me. I have done my best to instill in them good values, an understanding of the difference between right and wrong, and I am proud of them. I do subscribe to the notion (as Ken has previously written) that this is a concerted, orchestrated effort to undermine literally everything this country has has ever represented – its morals, ethics and values – and burn it all to the ground. While this country was never perfect and I have definitely had and still have my issues with TPTB, especially the FED, it is far better than the alternative. One thing I understand very clearly now (and it was an important thing for me to come to realize): They… Read more »
Gunnar,
you are right about this. if we start making concessions to the left and the BLM they will never stop, it will only embolden them to want more. i have seen it happen already in my state. its sad
cid That is part of the problem. We have been making concessions for quite a while and now it’s biting us in the keester. Many of those concessions have been forced upon is by our ever illustrious government. Ask the bakery owners who refused to make a cake for a couple. The gov told them they have to make that cake. They still refused on religious grounds. The gov slapped heaving fines on them and they received countless death threats of which the ever protective gov did nothing about. Just like the armed couple in their yard protecting their property. The gov said they can’t do that and accused them of ‘violent assault’ on a ‘peaceful’ demonstration. These instances of people challenging the ‘status quo’ made the news but what about all the other concessions people have been forced to make. Another example: a protest blocks a highway preventing travel on said road. That road is subsequently closed for the time being thereby forcing a person to find another route to their destination.isnt that not a concession. We pay taxes for that road, construction is not the reason for the road being blocked. Again, we have been making concessions for… Read more »
The “just wants to be left alone” man is the American male that works hard to provide for his family, takes pride in his ethics, abides by the law, wants to spend time with his family and friends, enjoy sports without politics and is a contributor not a taker. He doesn’t expect the government to take care of him and enjoys his self-reliance. He doesn’t loot and riot because he understands his taxes will have to pay for the damage and it lowers property values in which he has a stake. He can’t afford to go to jail as he has people depending on him nor does he have any desire to lose his freedom as he is enjoying the life he has made. He respects those that respect him and themselves and is not going out looking for trouble. He understands that if he goes to a city looking for a fight he has everything to lose and nothing to gain unlike the Antifa /BLM protester that has nothing to lose, everything to gain and they have the media and government on their side. He understands that if he actively engages, the life he and his family enjoys will… Read more »
RC
Ya nailed it friend,,,,
Im grey,
Both literally and figuratively,
I will not get in the box car,
If we are at that point it doesnt matter how extreme my action or reaction will be
Romeo Charlie
Very well said! Thank you for that. That post goes in my cut and paste file of inspiring posts, where it will be in good company.
Romeo Charlie
Well said
You nailed it.
Romeo Charlie
Excellent 👍
Romeo Charlie –
I was born without a sports gene; but Bravo Zulu on the rest! Perfect.
RC, yet another person that says you nailed it. We should put that in a poster and frame it…!
P.S.: Another that is truly grateful for Ken and all he does!
Romeo Charlie
You have stated exactly how everyone I know feels. Spot on.
When it starts I expect it to be someone, like you said, that was backed into a corner with no way out but through what is in front of him. Then watch out! If the msm is still broadcasting then no doubt they will express outrage at the “unprovoked” response of the common man.
Romeo Charlie
Oscar Kilo
Again well said. I’ll stand beside you anytime.
RC,
I have always said and believe the most dangerous man is the one who has nothing to lose.
A&O
RC
As a side note, I saw yesterday erday that the Minnesota governor is asking a Trump for 500 million due to the damage from looting and burning in Minneapolis/St Paul. So the governor did nothing for what a week or so while things were stolen and burned and now he wants us taxpayers to pay for his ineptitude.
Romeo charlie, indeed well said, Kulafarmer I too am gray literally and figuratively and I think we’re getting our backs shoved closer to the corner everyday. I said a few days ago do they really want to open this can and see what’s inside?To anyone out there reading, I am mid sixties still proficient at a distance and will defend me and mine to the bitter end for what I believe in. Happy Independence Day to all here and I hope to live long enough to see another Independence Day and not the one that started in 1776.
I just read an article where Virginia state officials ordered a construction company to remove its large flag from a construction site. Supposedly out of fear of protests. So now the government is now ordering us to not fly the flag. This is crazy. Even totalitarian regimes encourage their people to fly their countries flag. This BS is something else.
I bet the same state officials would allow a BLM flag to fly and say something like ‘let it fly high’.
Happy 4th of July everyone
Maggie’s, I’ll join the party of grays, I too can still tag a 12″
plate at 500 yards, the army trained me well. Like so many here,
I’ll when the time comes.
I think the idiot Marxists have been waiting for us to fire first, so as to obtain a propaganda victory, and justify their use of force to install their tyranny. But, we have managed to not create a “Boston Massacre” so far.
I am already in “Combat Mode,” but will not send rounds down range until my “trip-wire” is stumbled upon. Once tweaked, and the pin is pulled, there will simply be no reason to remain stoic. I become the “bouncing-betty,” which explodes into the enemy.
If forced into action, I shall have no thought of any future, until the enemy no longer exists. There simply IS no future worthy of consideration under the dictates of Marxists.
Let us attack their Citadels, their hardened keeps. Let us take out their Mouths. Let us darken their World. Let there be no Quarter for their Wounded. And, let us not waist the effort of taking and keeping prisoners, past a quick ditch interrogation.
May the vermin grow fat on their corpses.
Ision, I understand your anger and frustration, we all feel like that to varying extent. To my thinking though, the “first shots” have already been fired……and fired repeatedly…….and pretty much ignored. Like always, folks want the “authorities” to take care of these unpleasantries. Let the police handle these things………..but the police have been neutered. Our big cities, and smaller cities that are home to universities, have become bastions of marxism, ran by marxist, with marxist prosecuting attorneys…….and….mark my words….eventually marxists will control the country, top to bottom, while good “patriots” stand by waiting for the “first shot” to be fired. Like it or not, agree or not, your local police are the best friends you will have……for now, but only if you stand with them…and for them. They are under attack. Why? Because of the very rare instances, where in the heat of battle, they go too far? No. They are under attack because the marxist/anarchists recognize and understand what the “Karens” of the world don’t. That is the fact that the police stand between them and their goals. Folks can agree or disagree with what I’ve said. Don’t make much difference. America will either wake up to reality, or… Read more »
Amen, Dennis. Policemen are indeed the very best friend we will ever had.
I hope everyone who doesn’t have true and utter respect for the bravest amongst us will pull up Paul Harvey’s narration, “The Policeman”. And please pay particular attention to his words when he says that less than 1/2 of 1% mis-fit that uniform. Take that truth to heart when you hear them spoken and end this foolish castigation that the other 99.5% resemble them in the slightest. Our police are heroes that deserve our respect and admiration.
Paul Harvey’s policemen are rare. A whole generation has joined and left the police force since that was written.
Paul Harvey’s dad was a policeman…….shot and killed in the line of duty.
Law enforcement officers are putting their lives and the lives of their families on the line. Same as you, pinky?
No, Pinky. They are not. Body cams, dashboard cams, Ethics training, Diversity training, procedural changes, and every man, woman and child armed with a camera phone to capture each and every one of their encounters, 24/7/365. Citizens now spit in their faces, verbally assault them, throw rocks at them, steal and fire their own tasers at them, set their vehicles on fire, overtake their Precincts and ambush them both physically and mentally over and over and over again. They hug their kids goodbye in the morning and say a silent prayer that they will return to tuck them into bed at night. Their wives spend every shift they serve praying that there won’t be a knock at the door with bad news. As Ken said, open skirmishes now take place – across America. People wearing the uniform have been killed for wearing the uniform. Yet they keep suiting up, to serve and protect, and provide for their families. Despite knowing that a growing segment of the population no longer is worthy of their sacrifice and will not grant them the respect they deserve for being the only line between civility and anarchy. It’s Independence Day. Social media arsonists throw out… Read more »
Well said M’Lynn
This is the problem with allowing these loud mouthed little groups to get away with all manner of insurrection, They eventually become entitled, at least in their own little world,
That boot stomp is coming, it may well be a PITA but its coming
M’Lynn,
Beautifully said.
luv ya’ll, Beach’n
The old school Blue is no longer. My past LEO is rumbling on the bottom of the lake where I put his ashes in his favorite cove…. he used to talk about old school policing. It was changing when he was on the force. Old school could be rough, kind, over done, under done, abusive and sensible. They could use their instincts which many men and women develop if on the force long enough. They were police and took an oath to help those that were in need. No walking around with one hand tied behind their back. Now these women and men must hobble like they have shackles. sigh……….. not good
Mrs. U
He sounds like he was a really good man. I’m sorry for your losing him.
I cannot imagine the stress levels our police/LEO are experiencing now, not even able to defend themselves sometimes. Good time to show appreciation to our local departments, so they feel supported by the people at least.
The problem with the ‘first shot’ is the media is wholeheartedly behind the Marxists. So it doesn’t matter who fires the first shot. Whoever is on the opposite side of the media will be blamed and labeled–racists, white supremacists, bigots, homophobes, fluffy fuzzy bunny haters, you name it whether it is true or not.
Example: one of the shooting in the CHAZ/CHOP was blamed on white supremacists by a Seattle city councilwoman even though they had zero evidence to support that theory.
Thats why media is going to be lumped in with the “enemy”
Anything goes, they already made that bed, let em rot in it
👍 agree
What I wanna know is, where can I purchase a flag like that ?!
Let’s hope that this upcoming Independence Day is a peaceful one
And that we can expect more to follow.
Clay county sheriff in Florida:
‘……. will “deputize” all “lawful gun owners” if protesters become too violent.’
if need be.
That flag is called a USA melt
RVN69
Well, imma gonna see if I can purchase one.
Thanks!
I’d give you the name but I’m not sure it’s allowed. I just purchased 5 for gifts and a couple for myself.
Oh my gosh…the company that has the USA Melt also has Smoky the Bear in a KAG red helmet, pointing, saying “Only you can prevent Socialism.” ❤️ Love that! Thanks RVN69!
RVN:
99% of the time posting a company name is not allowed.
Please Email Ken ( see ‘ Contacr Us’ below).
With the company name…
He’ll check it out and probably will post it, if it’s a legitimate CO.
Thanks.
NRP
RVN69
I haven’t seen you post before. Of course I’ve been gone for a bit.
Are you a new poster?
If so, welcome aboard.
(Not very often I get to say that)
I’ve followed the blog for a long time, but I’m not much of a public person since leaving my job as a LEO.
RVN69
Welcome!
You will fit in nicely here, this group is a mixed bag of many talents which post on this site including retired LEO’s. You should feel right at home.
To let you know we are a family and there are times we disagree with one another. Yet do our best to bring our manners to Ken’s site, after all it is his house which he has kindly shared with all of us.
At 81 years of age, Benjamin Franklin was the oldest person to sign the Constitution. Due to his declining health others had to assist him with moving his hand, yet the tears he cried as his signature was made were all his own. Four prisoners were brought from the local jail to carry him out of Independence Hall because he was too frail to walk under his own power. Yet in the street the mayor’s wife approached to ask him to describe what this new government would be. “A republic, madam. If you can keep it.” That woman held no more power to vote than a black man in the south, or an Indian in the west. Yet Ben showed incredible foresight in saying those words to her. He knew that for this country to become what the framers envisioned it would take each and every one us, united, from generation to generation. Our job was always to roll up our sleeves and not only get to work, but also keep on working. As Ken beautifully articulated, that work is now more vital than ever before. We can keep this republic. It’s going to take all of us though. Just… Read more »
M’Lynn,
Just like RC…..you nailed it. You should both write articles for Ken!
ditto
Great article which inspires all of us to maintain our values and not to back down to insurgents. Our freedom and values are under attack and we have to draw that ‘line in the sand’ of how long we will be obedient law-abiding citizens before we fight back.
Don’t know if this is within Ken’s article discussion guidelines, but read and article on Natural News that claims proof has been found that some Democrat leaders, including California governor Newsom, are working with China in money laundering, illegal weapons, and plotting to have Chinese troops invade USA. It is shocking! Article gives sources and links to information.
Farmmom
Reading the article now. So far…..
WOW—-Holy Freaking WOW
Thanks for pointing out the article.

” I will gladly stand up next to YOU and defend Her still today, for there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the U.S.A.”! Lee Greenwood
In years past Japanese Admiral Yamamoto said that he feared that he had woken a sleeping giant. His fear was proven to be well founded.
Today the left is waking a sleeping giant! They are making a terrible mistake, I am no longer a young man but I will be one of the many to stand up in defiance to the leftist communist movement!
May God grant us strength and victory!
Much said today. I still believe that if 3%were to roll out when the time comes the left will be overwhelmed!
They appear to be many but when the fury of the right rises many of the left will fade away, I do not believe the rank and file will stand.
God grant us strength and victory!
Well said, sir. They have no idea what will happen if this foolishness continues. I feel like Clint Eastwood, sitting on the porch on Gran Torino… they’ll get
the heck off my lawn.
I believe that if/when the 3 % roll out, there will be many more to follow and participate. I have lived a long enough life to do so now with no regrets and no fears. “Today is a good day to die”, from one of my favorite Native American poets.
The pattern is push, gauge the opposition, pull back if necessary.
Increase propaganda, newspeak until the population as a whole has moved in the desired direction. Push, gauge the opposition, pull back, propaganda, newspeak, push, gauge the opposition. No pushback! Push again. Gauge the opposition.
This time they pushed, then pushed again, and must have decided it was time to go all in. The pushback may have been more than they expected, but the hydra is still alive. It will return, subtle and patient, pushing gently, fully willing to pull back, but never as far as the last line.
Well said Lauren
That is exactly what the leftists have been doing for the last couple decades (at least). Just think about all the things they tried to push through to become law/policy. Many times they were shot down bad but they pushed and pushed and the next thing you know, there is another law/policy on the books.
“Not on my watch”. No half baked philosophy is going to take my constitution away from me or mine.

Soldiers have fought and died for two hundred years giving their lives so we can live here

By Austin Wahlert
In the interest of conversation, I’m going to pose several questions.. over the next few days….
What will happen if the Farmers decided to not plant for one year and go “protest” the price of Corn?
Banks will call their mortgages and equipment dealers their loans if the farmer can’t keep up payments. Oops – no more farm or farm family.
Perhaps grow something else, if sufficient and timely water is available and farmer has means to plant a different crop.
Corn contracts for biodiesel – would be hard to get out of those without a penalty.
If cropping for animal feed, find a way to market directly to end user rather than through coop.
Crops were hit last year by bad weather, and may not get off Scott free this year, especially with the virus hitting processors. What prompted the question?
Anony Mee and Farmgirl:
Both excellent answers.
My point being, and it will become clearer with more “questions” is.
Arnt th he farmers already doing and seeing this? Look at the past two years of Farming. Crops failing everywhere, weather destroying crops, trucking, marketing, C-19, the lust is endless of what the farmers are going through.
So for the MSB family. What happens when the Farmers stop planting…..
Well that was a typing disaster… LOLOL
But you all get the drift…..
NRP & Blue
The short answer is, when the food supply collapses, everything collapses. No more grocery store runs; if you don’t grow it, or have relationships with others for trade, you don’t eat it. Massive civil unrest, like we haven’t yet seen. The only safety to find may be in numbers, provided you’re well armed and self sufficient. A return to some other time – the collapse of civilization as we know it. A sobering thought.
NRP & Blue,
yes, already happening. This virus is hitting those who have health conditions on going… Those who may be out in the weather, exposed to personal allergens,chemicals associated with planting.
Multiple events are preventing large productions from planting. ..floods, late frosts, early frosts, hail storms..is July we have gone from temps in ground too cold/wet to now too hot.. doing planting in new areas//
..I got a report from friend, thru farm store, He heard of another family farm under stress. elderly man has died from “covid” and his 50 something son is still very ill after a long hospitilization- significant lung damage. ..essentially disabled….? who will run the farm???
Get your veggies in for the winter now, what ever form you will eat. secure for long term…convert frozen on hand to dehydrated, seal (remove oxygen) and replace as often as possible. every jar adds up. a lot of dehydrated veggies will go in a quart jar.Do not forget the things that round off your dishes…like mushrooms for the spaghetti sauce…cilantro for salsa.. grow what you can a and get it secure now.
Newbie question here: Can I just put in a few silica packs and remove the air out of the jars? I don’t have oxygen absorbers?
Pecora:
I’m pretty sure silica gel is just to absorb moisture. I’ve had really good luck with a vacuum sealer. It sucks out 99% of the air, and the oxygen component with it.
Pecora
That question should be under the “Open Comments” section.
Check there for your answer as we are on the Independence Day segment. It is ok, you are new here, and just learning and we will share with you.
NRP, don’t forget the Grand Solar Minimum will be affecting farmers also. I wonder if that will be a bigger problem for our food supply than politics.
DJ
I think it will be an inconvenient set of circumstances that all come together to cause problems,
I do have faith that thinking folks will overcome,
Not necessarily for the masses, but definitely to insure their own food security.
It is amazing how short sighted people are, mind boggling really. I see it all around me,
Hey Kula, just a thought: you and any other southern or tropical MSBers may be the only ones able to supply the rest of us with viable seeds in the future.
DJ
I have thought about growing stuff strictly for seed, already doing primarily heirlooms, ebay!
My own personal opinion is that on some level they are using the politics to keep a lid on the food shortage issues. Keep it buried as long as possible so people don’t panic.
Lauren, agreed. I think its worse than they are letting on. Every so often there is a news article about other countries not exporting their foodstuffs anymore. At least this year. Tho I was surprised to see all of our shelves in the stores full to capacity this week, even TP and paper towels. (We did not use paper towels during the cover ‘crisis and that is one item I decided I would not ever need). Too many rags for cleaning around here and cloth napkins to use that go in with the regular wash. (Rags separately tho).
“the lust is endless”. I have no idea why this really tickled my funny bone and now I can’t stop laughing!
Not gonna happen. My farmer would have to be kept in a straight jacket and strung up in the barn. Its not just a profession, it’s his life 16 hours a day and the other 8 are spent eating, planning, and dreaming about it. Now if there was no seed available…. we’d have to plant last years crop. Wouldn’t yield as good, but there’d be no stopping him from trying. So if it comes to it… by the end of October we’ll have enough corn in the bins for you all to have a lifetime supply of cornmeal.
Gopher, Thank YOUR Farmer for all of us… My concern is not the mentality, or.desire of our farmers to plant but the changing enviromental and financial conditions many are experiencing.Once you add disability into the mix…it is concerning… My DGF, and DF were both farmers among other things. I learned much for them…
NRP & Blue If they did that, it’s game over. I’m assuming you mean they wouldn’t plant anything, which in my area is corn, soybeans, hay, and oats, mostly. Unless you count all the small organic farmers growing all the veggies. Corn is in so many things, and affects more than many realize. It’s also used as silage for cattle feed, dairy and otherwise. So, processed foods, dairy, beef, chicken (main component of their feed, too), eggs, ethanol. Yeah, bad news bears. The other thing you can know for certain is if they do that, it’s because it’s already game over for them. These guys and gals, especially the smaller producers, have been living with their backs to the wall financially for a while now, especially the dairy folks. If it’s so bad they walk away from their farm to protest? It’s apocalyptic bad. So I guess I don’t see them doing that. Most would quietly sell, like some are doing now, or go bankrupt, which is also trending higher in my state. A smaller number, sadly, are so downhearted about conditions they are choosing to exit this life entirely. Whether they quit planting to go protest, or because they… Read more »
In our area, we had beautiful weather to get the first cutting of hay all brought in at most local farms…but the yield was one third less than usual. Everyone is now scrambling for hay.
Told my wife the other day this is either going to be our last independence day celebration or we will have a new one. Either way it’s not going to be pretty till 7/4/21.
Went and saw my grandma who turns 99 on the 5th. She demanded no masks and is more alert about what’s going on than most people. God I love her.
Our family doesnt stand down and bows to no one but God. Have a big shin dig planned tomorrow with family (over 10 people) and will have a great time. Thinking about reading the Declaration of Independence to help educate more of the youth and remind folks what the 4th is all about.
A&O
Here in CA, newsom has shut down any gatherings. We’re getting together anyway, the hell with newsom. Chicom puppet!
Did you see the Ca legislature now has approved a bill to repay those who came from slavery? Who is going to pay for the 8 person committe and then the repatriations? Ca has gone waaaay to far and it is time for them to wake up and remove Grusome.
Pegasus
That is why I keep reminding those to file the paperwork to charge him with sedition. He an his Muppets(legislature)have brought this down upon their heads.
Did you hear on this day of celebration, he is trying to break family trusts for the money his pocket book will NOT be receiving. If you sell a home, he wants the states FAIR SHARE, not a joke!
There are the bills set to go into effect or being worked on at this very time, not sure if they are in the assemble or senate section. Here in Commie CA (#2885-#483-#1652), heard this on the “Freedom in Action” radio broadcast.
fyi
Good Morning AC and Happy Independence Day!
I’m struggling with the sedition petition. My concern is if it doesn’t work, I’ll end up “on a list” that will lead to bad things happening. Is there precedent for this action, that has been successful; in modern history? The more I pay attention what ‘any-twosome, newsom’ is doing, the more alarmed I become. He must go. What is your honest opinion on the success potential of this petition?
tmcgyver All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men & women to do nothing. The quote may not be exact but like you I am concerned what will occur to us if we sign our names to those slips of paper. My heritage stood before many to declare our Independence from Great Britain. He an others placed their freedom, fortunes, and their families lives at stake to bring this nation forward. We the generations that have followed have to ask ourselves that same question. Do we kneel down & beg to survive or do we stand up take our country back one town, city, county and state at a time from this cancerous evil. It is not my place to judge nor advise you on this matter it yours an yours alone. Which every way your path leads you, you must follow it. You are younger so I understand your concern, which is alright. It is personal choice WE all have to make at sometime in our lives.

Four score and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and justice for all. Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether this nation or any nation can long endure. That was Lincoln’s Gettysburg address part of it and it’s amazing in those days that they knew we could not keep this nation together as a Republic. When this country turned into a democracy it was the downfall starting we have no Republic or no democracy now the world is a free-for-all. All I can say for an old fart you better tighten up your preps get some trigger time in, practice better opsec . And as a sed in the old days keep your friends close and your enemies closer
well I left out a few words and their but y’all get the idea peace out .
This what happened in CHAZ shows clearly that democrats and all other in that side are in reality only a bunch of S***. They have absolutely no a) brain b) courage c) soul
They do not win! As history has shown commies are natural born looser
Estonian –
Did you see the news coverage last night of the police taking the “CHAZ”, “leader” into custody? A 21 year old, dread-locked, punk-ass b*tch, driving a Tesla! He lost a foot pursuit by the men in blue, jumped off an overpass and hurt himself. The picture floating last night was of his ugly ass strapped to a gurney, bawling his eyes out. Some friggin’ “revolutionary” huh?

Happy Independence day everyone and a special THANK YOU to NRP for his help here while Ken is taking a well deserved break. NRP, you are doing yeomans work here with your donation drive and your help with running the comments section while Ken is away. Also, thank you NRP for your excellent follow up response about my questions with long term bean and rice storage in buckets. Great information! I would recommend others going and reading that post by NRP in the “Open Forum” section, it is some excellent information, worthy of an article by itself. I feel this is worth mentioning again to all who read MSB, to both active commenters and lurkers alike. I don’t think you realize how truly valuable the information is here on MSB. Where else can one come and get basic, advanced, graduate or PhD level information about all things emergency preparedness related? And…AND in a civilized format without having to wade through all the flame wars and trolling that goes on in most other internet forums? And for free? FOR FREE? Are you freakin’ kidding me, what a bargain!! We should all feel a little bit guilty for having access to such… Read more »
Ready, Fire, Aim –
To all those lurkers who you just addressed about donating and any concerns they have about OPSEC or whatever – perhaps this will help. The charge shows to an entity called ‘MSB’, not spelled out. And the category is “professional services”.
RFA – yep, anyone can donate any amount at any time. If you are able, you can even set up a monthly donation. And if you are not in a good financial situation, you don’t have to worry about it because the content is free. And if you simply want to cause NRP to have to pause in his accumulation of TP….send in a few bucks now and he will match your donation up to $500 (I believe). Ha ha ha …that’s a lot of TP! 🤣
I took the Oath many years ago and tho I am old, I will fight as hard for as long as I can when the time comes.
Hopeful that President Trump wins, and if he does, the lib/commies will go nuts.
There are some here that say they are behind enemy lines, folks, if you live in or near a city run by left wing politicians– you are behind enemy lines!
Thanks Ken for this venue. You are a good man.
If you listen, you can hear the sound of the Republic

Did anyone else see the great Independence Day program which was held at Mt. Rushmore last evening?
Jn.3:16
I watched most of it, and it was truly inspiring. A good morale booster, and I hope it strengthened the resolve of American Patriots.
Farm girl,
Yes, it was very inspiring.
Personally, I’d like to see more traditional patriotic music than rock, or jazz style at an event like that. To me it seems more appropriate, but maybe that’s just a sign of getting old.
Me thinks that ballads and marches tend to strengthen the resolve, and encourage a patriotic spirit.
Hoping everyone has a safe Independence Day, today.
I’m hoping that within the next upcoming four years, WE can have our own True Independence Day.
Independence from all this tyranny, corruption, destruction, non meaningful
riots, the planned destruction of a once great nation.
Here’s hoping….
“Oh, Superman, where are you now?
When every thing’s gone wrong somehow?
Men of steel, these men of power
I’m losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in”

Excellent, Joe! We will succeed. Keep the faith. God put all of us here at this exact moment in history, so we are the right ones for this mission. Regardless of what it takes, we will win this fight together.
Happy Independence Day 2.0! 🇱🇷
M’ Lynn, Your optimism is greatly appreciated. Facing reality, we have to look at how our average public school math and science scores compare to other countries of the developed world? Not exactly a recipe for success. That’s called the dumbing down of America. Someone said that education makes people aware of their rights and turns them into responsible citizens. We need that. Fortunately, by the grace of God, we still do have many educated, and responsible citizens. However, we are losing ground. Horace Greeley said “ It is impossible to enslave, mentally, or socially, a Bible reading people. The principals of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.” How many people in America today read the Bible, compared to 200 yrs. ago, or 100 yrs. ago, or even 50 yrs. ago? Thankfully, a lot of Americans still do. But, I think that we’re seeing things in that area becoming diluted to the point where it’s putting some serious stress on our society. We do have a lot to be thankful for! Mr. Franklin said it succinctly; if we can “keep it”. Not so sure if the question is “ can we “ or “ will we “? How… Read more »

Recently discovered Disturbed version of Sound of Silence. Awesome rendition. I will definitely check this out. I guess my classical/old rock/folk self is heading into metal land. What on earth is this world coming to?
The disturbed version is one of my favorites, but then again, i really like Disturbed,
Some good head bangin music
Down with the sickness…..
Kulafarmer
Just watched their official Land of Confusion music vid. About halfway through, I realized the imagery could fit very well with the CMG movement. Kind of slapped me upside the head. Filled with anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist symbols, and the raised fist of the bolsheviks – the enemy is nazi-like military, a group of old white guys, congress, and big money guy. Very confusing. Have to sit with that. Two-sided paradigms can cut either way, I guess, with often both options being extremes, where the sane perspective is neither one.
It’s one of their many covers, this one of Genesis. David Draiman is an interesting character.
President Trump issued an Executive Order on july 3, 2020:
Executive Order on Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes
Today, please take the time to read this order! Guaranteed that this EO will put a smile on your face.
You can read it at whitehouse dot gov under the presidential-actions section.
Farmgirl
The original Genesis words are more clear. Disturbed puts a little more punch to it,
But the lyrics are so true and what we can relate to.
I love all sorts of music.
I’m not only a Rocker, imma Country boy that can and will
sing along with Hymms, Christian rock songs.
‘Music calms the savage beast’, don’t ya know
This battle is as old as time, and is only intensifying.
Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
For the patriots and founders who made this nation and this day possible, I am grateful.
For the battle ahead, full armor is required.
WOW
If you were able to see the 4th of July celebration from the White this day. It was sensational!! He honored the military along with letting us know he’s plans on a park that honors so many who made this nation a better place through their wisdom bestowed upon one and all.
He had the planes from several eras fly over to celebrate those who served our nation during different conflicts. My favorite is still the ‘b a n a n a’ aka chinook 🤩, yep dating myself. lol
he’s==his plans (fire the editor-rowl)
happy 4th everyone!
So just saw that Kanye West is gonna run for president in Nov.
That should ensure that DJT wins.
Split up the Dems and other brain deads.
Can you see Kim Kardashian as first lady?
Oh the humanity!!!

Yea, but is he running as a D? I? Or R?
Kula,
Not sure if he is running as an I( idiot), D( deranged) or R( ridiculous)
Couldn’t resist😃
PEACE
MadFab
Not sure on the Kanye thing, but I read that he used to be a top trump supporter. I also read maybe he was running to take votes away from Biden!But , that may hinder trump as well.
MadFab & OKgirl
I did see the ad last night, during the local news.
My question is,
Why?
I don’t believe I heard/saw what party he was running for, though I believe it was
R (rediculous)
Is it to take away some of the Trump support? What a fiasco that would be.
Joe c, what I read stated he’d have to run as independent! I also think the way I read it was he was just hoping to take the votes away from Biden to help trump! But at this point who knows?
JC,
I would about be tempted to vote for Kanye,,,
What difference would it make really?
The whole thing is broken anyway,,,
Kula,
I agree. We haven’t really seen ‘broken’, until after this election, I’m afraid. And it’s gonna be a cluster.
It would be interesting to see a primary between Trump and West.
But I agree with OKlady, I think if Kanye did run, he would split the vote and we’d end up with Sleepy.
I sure as he!! don’t want that to happen.
What do you think? The term “white privilege” makes the word “privilege” a bad word, like it is synonymous, but more evil than discrimination. It insinuates that it was gained at the expense of non-white persons. But it doesn’t come from taking from others, it is freely given to all. Where does privilege come from? It comes from God, and our constitution recognizes that and insures that government won’t interfere. You don’t have to believe in God to enjoy it. Whatever privilege that white people enjoy is available to all, and is protected in our legal documents. So it isn’t “white privilege”, it is everyone’s privilege. To use the excuse that achievement isn’t possible because someone else is accessing privilege and they aren’t is nothing more than an excuse for failure. If someone else is successful, that does not prevent me from being successful. If someone hates me, that doesn’t prevent me from attaining my goals. Is somebody incapable of achieving their dreams because I don’t like them, for any reason? Does what I think about them have more power over their life than what they think about themself? If I think they are inferior and insignificant, do they have… Read more »

We did form such a government – we had a republic which stood for those things, currently hanging on in the hearts and minds of those of us who still value it.
Farmgirl, it was TIC.
Chevy
Should have figured that based on the rest of your comment. I’m going to blame it on the heat and humidity we’ve had this past several days causing some brain melt. 😉
My fault, trying to make the point that the real solution already exists.
Was joking around with a friend in Oregon today. “True or false?” says I “A year from now the only statues left in America will be garden gnomes.” And later, “Well, it’s really true, not just a saying.” “What is?” “A liberal is just a conservative that hasn’t been mugged yet.” “How so?” “Mayor of Portland didn’t call in the force when his city was burning, he only did it when the anarchists tried to set up an autonomous zone in his front yard. Seattle’s stupid donkey of a mayor didn’t close down the radical take over in her city aka summertime block party complete with rape and murder until a group of them showed up at her house.” Couldn’t be a clearer sign that to the politically positioned libsiders no lives matter except their own. Humor is a good tool to bring a different perspective and to lift the gloom. And this all is so dark and gloomy. What to do? I surely believe in the efficacy of prayer, but in our current situation the only solution is force. Force must be used to ensue our right to peaceably assemble. And force must be used the very moment that… Read more »

They say blacklives matter, piss and moan about their plight in life, yet they are the most violent group within our midst. They kill each other at a much much higher rate than any other race. But thats somehow my fault because im white.
Any idiot who buys that isnt worthy of the oxygen they consume
And now that some of those summer of love block parties are being disbanded it seems some of the cities want federal aid for repairs.
It feels like one thing many here are missing is the concept of progress. Sure, those who fought for our freedom under awful conditions. But why wouldn’t we want people to be safer if there was a way? Calm that testosterone that is just itching to kill someone and realize that there are more modern truths that can work. This includes the concept of freedom. Those men fighting for the freedom of the nation were doing what they thought best, (although they were absolutely taking what did not belong to them, but we will ignore that part) but that was what was best at that time….now we can do better than that, as seen by amendments such as the 13th and 19th. Keep in mind, I am not a liberal either, but man, there are ways to better this nation than to kill your enemy – and that goes for both sides!
POB
It would be nice if everyone could just peacefully sit down and have a civil conversation, working through our differences like reasonable people.
If you’re paying attention to what’s happening in our country right now, you will see that reasonableness has gone out the window for the extreme left. There is no civil conversation to be had. You will also see that the patriots are exercising extreme patience in the face of constant provocation.
When a criminal breaks into your home in the dead of night, kicking down your door and pointing a gun at you, are you going to ask him to sit down and try to ‘work things out’ reasonably? That is what’s going on here.
Thank you Farmgirl. This is all making more sense. I am not at all anti-gun (ethically or values-wise), but they scare me. And I think that maybe talk of violence made me think the post and replies were being violent, when you are saying that you are really talking about self defense.
POB, I’ll take the chance you are not a troll, although most times, when someone say’s “I’m not a liberal” when posting on a mostly conservative leaning site……….well, they are a liberal. But, I’ll take you at your word. In response, I know of no one who graces this site with their comments that has ever attacked a defenseless old man, or woman, or child, because of the color of their skin, or because they were wearing a political garment of clothing. I am not aware of anyone who has ambushed a law enforcement officer or terrorized their families, or burned down and looted businesses, block traffic and pulled innocents out of their cars. Nor am I aware of anyone suggesting visiting carnage upon certain segments of the population in order to “get their attention” or “make them pay” for real or imagined misdeeds of generations past. No, I see….and agree with most, we are talking of how to defend our homes and families from the violence being visited on others across our country on a daily basis. Violence promised against us by people we don’t know, but hate us enough to do us irreparable harm because……we look different? Think… Read more »
Farmgirl and Dennis, VERY well put.. exactly. They have already began the “break-ins of our homes, business’s,and our way of life.” The standard Mom and Pop have just about had it up to the neck….yet no violence..from them. There will be a tipping point.. I believe we can all see it coming. There is NO “safety” in laying down,trying to discuss…any matter. because the other leftist movements have already declared a fighting war…They want our entire society to look like Hong Kong will in another week…if we desire to be organ donors for the Chinese… JUst DO nothing. They want nice clean organs to sell. those who live a clean life have those… not the gangs and drug abusers of society..
JS
Ya just made me laugh.
Why donate organs, when ya can donate lead….
Let em try
My campaign slogan:
TLI
Try Lead Instead
Dennis, thank you for your reply. I can understand what you mean about someone declaring they are not liberal….looks bad lol. I am a recovering liberal, if I am being honest. I am seeing more and more that in all of life, extreme povs are usually scary…and here, that goes for both “sides”. Anyway, I have always been here to learn. I too am terrified in these times, and I want to F#*$ ing survive! I don’t care any more if my enemy is liberal, black, or KKK, bad energy is not making its way through my door or my soul. You really made your point when you stated “So, here we are, discussing how to meet the enemy and survive.” That is why I am here too, not to cause trouble. I may ask questions sometimes that piss people off, but like I said I have always been here to learn.
POB, Good for you….you’re a “recovering liberal” (just kidding). Kidding aside, some of us have some liberal ideas we can live with…..some ideas, just not most of them. We see life as it really is, not what we are told to believe. You won’t see us standing in front of businesses being burned to the ground, with thieves running around with stolen property in their hands, others breaking out windows and destroying peoples cars…….saying “This is a mostly peaceful protest”…. We question why those creating havoc because of “cop’s war on blacks” must point to only a handful of examples, some of that handful having been proven justified defense….while the true scourge of the black community, black on black gang violence, is ignored. We see video after video, example after example, of random black on white attacks with little coverage by media……..only to see that same media breathlessly drone on and on for days about white supremacist hate because some wanna be celebrity creates their own “hate crime” that turns out to be a hoax (the overwhelming majority of such hate crimes have been proven hoaxes).

Dennis, also a good post…as usual
Some thoughts on the escalating battle before us. As yet, the violent mob does not have a charismatic leader to rally around. I found myself wondering who might fill such a role. Searching my mind for candidates, I realized there are some swamp critters who’ve been noticeably absent from excessive media attention these days. In fact, except for a blip here and there, to remind the public of their existence, they’ve been pretty quiet since the 2016 election. When that changes, I expect the violence, censorship, and purges to ramp up exponentially. It is a ‘tell’ I’ll be watching for. I assume most of you might guess who I’m referring to, but as a hint the initials are M.O. So many boxes get ticked with that one, so I won’t be surprised if it happens. Most likely at the convention, as Biden is obviously a place holder, but maybe before. There’s a small window before that happens to get ever more prepared, mentally and physically for the battle for our independence.
