Things You Might Want to Think About

Accomplices
We have to be careful about making fun of Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because she is serious about changing the status quo.

A change that could cause the death of millions of people, like you and your family.

Boyfriends
Notice, ... They to mention the killer was a black guy

Buy Backs
Leftists subvert our language to change the argument when they can't win, take 'Gun Buybacks.'

Did Maryland sell these guns to those people?

No, of course not. These people bought these firearms from a business, not the state or federal government.

So, ...

These events are really firearm confiscations with a gift card or a little bit of money thrown in.

California
This story involves several more people, some are illegal immigrants

Decree
I understand what Mr. Jair Bolsonaro is trying to do for his country.

But, ...

Using a decree will allow others to return the national policy back to an anti-Freedom pro-gun-control policy

Discrimination
Making up charges or faking violations of a company's policies to get rid of a paying guest is reprehensible.

With that said, ...

Fox News also reported about this event but they screwed it up by including an incident that justified kicking the people out of the store, at the end of the story.

Dude
The guy had it going, money, connections, and even the hot girlfriend then he became a raving Jew Hater.

Serves him right.

Fake News
You know how all Politicians lie? How about there are always long lines at the DMV? Do you know, you can't trust a used car salesman, right?

Well, ...

Now you know, every reporter and news organization has a bias. Most of them against white Christians that believe in God, Guns, and Country.

Fake Videos
Yes, ... It's disturbing to think that your wife, daughter, sister, or grand-daughter could show up in a fake porn video.

But, ...

What happens when someone 'assassinates' former President Obama or another popular Liberal politician, and their follows overreact?

Or, ...

Uses the technology to implement you and your family in a drug deal or terror plot?

Or, ...

Raise funds for a terrorist organizations.

Freedom
We forget the value of our freedoms

Gentle
Yeap, ... He wanted to kill 10,000 people, blow up crowded nightclubs, and burn college students alive.

All in the name of his god, ... Allah

God and ... Samuel Colt
At double the national crime rate, 11th most dangerous city in these United States, highest property tax rate in the state, and ...

People wonder why the city is falling apart.

Homelessness
Please read the whole thing.

Hunting
Folks, ... Just to make it clear.

Gun-Control Anti-Freedom Advocates want all of your firearms, every last one of them.

Illegal Immigrants
I don't care who you are, including the future President of these United States, if you hire illegals, help illegals evade immigration laws, or do other illegal things, your company should pay a hefty fine and the owners, managers, and employees that helped should go to prison.

Knives and Buses
All I have to say, ...

Outlaw guns then mentally ill/outlaws/terrorists will use ... automobiles, baseball bats, chains, screwdrivers, and lots of other tools to kill people.

Oooh, ... There will be no one to stop them, either.

Nazis
Next, people are going to be telling us that we need to embrace Communism, Islam, Socialism, Witchcraft, and other ideologies that wish to destroy us.

Oooh, ... They already did.

Nine Months
Wow, ... I wonder when Medicaid and Medicare will stop their payments?

Oil
If I have this right, ...

It's seven to ten years of supply for these United States, about the same amount as Libya with the 9th largest reserves,

Predictions
If someone is vague enough, don't give an actual date, or keep making the same prediction year after year.

Sooner or later, the person will be right about the future.

Refunds
It's very simple, ... The politicians screwed up, again.

So, ...

Here the link to the IRS Withholding Calculator

Sweater
They couldn't find a 'black' guy to wear it.

Which side are you on?
No, ... I didn't mess up and put a quote in the wrong section. I intentionally did it.

With that said, ...

There are more then two ways to solve a problem.

The only problem, ...

Sometimes there is only one.


Overheard

"Every single civil right for every single person,"

"Real walls are deterrents and are the only thing that really work to deter and prevent illegal border crossings."

"That would be a nice change of pace, now wouldn’t it?"

"Now we can see a major reason why progressives want to dismantle the Constitutional order: ..."

"He is to be praised, not scorned, for the way he lives. This is one good and humble man."

Ultimately, the only long-term solution to the migration crisis is to help people build more hopeful futures in their home countries [and] make their countries great again.

"Victors write the accepted history of events."

"It is because they want to be the special person that can turn this life around and be able to attribute that to their own self esteem,"

"Events will tell us soon enough."

"Erasing history is a dangerous road when it comes to art — change is essential, but so, too, is remembering the past, in all of its transgression and barbarism, so that we may properly gauge how far we have come, and also how far we still need to go."

"I cannot forget it for the rest of my life."

"The Homeland Security Department last year found “anomalous activity” consistent with use of cell site simulators near the White House and other sensitive buildings. Driving tests suggest that cell site simulators are positioned near the buildings of federal agencies and high technology defense contractors. Foreign intelligence services are presumed to be responsible. Yet the Homeland Security Department said it does not have the technical expertise or resources to find these cell site simulators."

"... expanding Medicaid, banning high-capacity rifles, passing a DREAM Act."

"High on their list: making businesses pay more and ending a sweetheart deal for people who inherit homes and their low tax bills, then turn a profit by renting them out." 

"Getting that gratification from the get-go almost doesn’t seem right."

"nobody answers the phone."

Friday's Thoughts and Other Stuff (Predictions)


Dear Preppers and Survivalists,

German New Year Greeting Card
source
Yeshiva University Museum


The End
This will be the last Friday post, for this year, so I would like to be the first to make some predictions about next year.

First, ...

We are going to face personal challenges, in 2019.

On a personal scale, you, your partner, and your family are going to face natural disasters. The hurricanes, winter storms, flooding, tornadoes, and all the other natural events that happened this year will happen again. Plus, we may have to face other less common natural disasters.

You and your family are going to have to deal with human-made events, too, because some of us are going to have car crashes, lose our homes, get divorced, have a workplace accident, be involved in an armed robbery, and all the other common daily disasters, big and small, that happened this year..

Second, ...

On a collective scale, we are also going to face some problems, in 2019.

Financially, these United States is in debt. As a country, we owe $21,000,000,000,000 to ourselves and others.  That 21 trillion dollars is 150% of what our country produces, every year.

Our families are in debt, too. Some of us owe large college debts, huge credit card debts, and expensive medical debt. Let us remember, this debt also includes our homes and automobiles. Taken together, our citizens owe $12,800,000,000,000 that is almost as much as our country produces in one year.

Politically, we have the Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives, on January 3rd, 2109. The Republicans controlling the Senate, and the President is still a Republican. This can be trouble.

If you believe the Democrats, I do, we can expect to see a lot of gun-control freedom-control measures being presented and voted on, in the House of Representatives. Some, if not many, will be passed and presented to the Senate. Depending on the measure, I predict, they will be passed and presented to the President for his signature.

What these measures will be, you and I can guess; magazine bans, ammunition prohibitions, coercing manufactures and lenders, so-called safe storage laws, registration, repair parts embargoes, implementing or increasing taxes, so-called Red-Flag laws, and many more for those with an imagination.

Some of these freedom-control measures will allow us to keep our ammunition, magazines, firearms, holographic and telescopic sights, and repair parts, for now, but they will cause prices to dramatically increase. These price increases will make it difficult, if not impossible, for new shooters to get started in the shooting sports.

Sad to say, but ... To keep our Rights, we need more people in the shooting sports. We can't do that with high prices for firearms, ammunition, repair parts, and magazines.

Needless to say, this blog is for people getting prepared for the tough times ahead, so what can you and your family do?

Individually and as a Family, ...

Do the simple things. Have proper insurance coverage for your health, your home, your vehicle, and your family. Spend less than you earn then save and invest wisely. Get physically fit, eat healthy, and enjoy your life and family. Reduce your debt or eliminate it. Teach your children about the important things in life. Lastly, get a kit, make a plan, be informed.

For those folks that are willing, you can do other things too.

You and your partner can purchase more food, the regular bagged, bottled, boxed, canned, and frozen food your family normally eats. I suggest a three month supply, stored in a cool, dry place.

Your family can purchase some silver and gold, I suggest U.S. Silver Eagle or Canadian Maple Leaf coins. These coins should be stored in your home or business, in a safe and secure place.

You can purchase additional standard 20 and 30-round magazines for your rifles, 15 and 17-round magazines for your pistols, and full metal jacket and semi-jacketed hollow points of your long guns and handguns. Some families may want to accelerate certain purchases such as holographic or telegraphic sights, body armour, and other purchases. For families with more disposable cash, you might purchase semiautomatic rifles, handguns, and precision bolt action or semi-automatic rifles

Collectively, as a Nation, ...

You and I need to get politically involved, starting today, this means writing those e-mails and letters, running for local, state, and national office, and getting more people involved with the shooting sports.

Gifts
Every year, I ask for the same thing, World Peace, but I never get it.

Oh, ... Well.

However, my family usually provides me with something close, like this year. This Christmas, I received a British Gortex Jacket for my emergency bag at work.

Needless to say, ...

My 'work' bag goes with me everywhere.

What's in it?

You will have to wait and see.


Camoflauge
Now, military or civilian camo is a poor choice for preppers, ... In some situations.

Think about it.

Whenever you see someone wearing camoflauge, you immediately think Prepper!!!

And, ...

Everybody knows, preppers are armed. They either have a knife, a concealed handgun, or a rifle nearby. Plus, they have a so-called Bugout Bag with all kinds of goodies.

Where as, ....

If you see a business man or woman with a backpack or satchel, you think ... paperwork and maybe ... lunch. The same with someone dressed as a student; except, think textbooks and ... lunch.

Now, ...

Add in a rough day, say after an EMP attack, large scale cyber event, or CME striking Earth, who do you think is going to be attacked first?


But!, ... But!!, ... But!!!
I have a British Gortex Jacket in my bag because it's inexpensive, the camo pattern matches my area of these United States, and ... I don't worry about getting attacked because I live in a so-called good area where everybody else wears some kind of camoflauge.

So, ...

I don't standout in a rainstorm walking down the street with my Class Three yellow safety vest

Things You Might Want to Think About

7,000
According to some of the folks I read, Democrats and some Republicans Liberals that opposed the invasion, build up of troops, and bashed Bush 43, are now all for keeping troops in Afghanistan.

Me?

I oppose reducing troop strengths because I'm a so-called American Imperialist

$428 billion
Ignore the "Trump Bashing" in the very beginning and read further down to all of the handouts, ...

That our government will go into debt to pay.

Armed Guards
How about Armed Citizens?

Oooh, ...

Sorry, it's, formerly, Great Britain. 

Automation
One good thing about automation. It's another reason to reduce the number of illegal immigrants, in this country, because we won't need them to pick our food.

Cruetzfeldt-Jackob Disease
My condolences to the family because it is just a matter of time before Mr. Gibson passes away.

Currency
Let me get this straight, ...

A group that can ban you from their site, wipe your account information, and allows others to delete your comments is trying to get you and your family to use their digital currency.

Oooh, ...

They are using the WhatsApp that has gotten people beaten up and killed.

Diplomatic Cables
I know a little about 'spying,' really intelligence gathering.

The whole idea is to sweep up all the information that you can, analysis it, plan courses of action, then take steps to confront/assist our adversaries and allies.

Of course, you're asking, ... Why is this article important to you and your family?

Our adversaries could use this information to influence European leaders to turn away from these United States and the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Liberty.

End of Days
It hasn't happened, ... yet.

Enslavement
Have you heard about the 'Green New Deal' put forth by young activists and people like Al Gore, Saikat Chakrabarti, Cory Booker, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others?

It's pretty simple, ...

1) The plan must decarbonize the economy.

2) The plan must include a federal jobs guarantee and large-scale public investments.

3) The plan must include a just transition.

Yeah, ... You need to take the time to read the whole thing

Fake News, German Version
Wow, this quote says it all, ...

"what kind of institutional breakdown led to the supposedly world-class Der Spiegel fact-checking team completely dropping the ball ..."

Government Shutdown
Damn, ... I wanted it all to shutdown.

Green Technology
Yeap, ... In our rush to embrace so-called green technology, people will use it to commit fraud.

Huh?
Two articles about the same event, one from the Huffington Post and the other from Fow News.

Either way you read it.

FaceBook and other social media sites, Twitter, Gab, WhatsApp, InstaGram, and many others and the supporting tech companies such as ABC, Google, Microsoft, MSN, and many others are a danger to you and your family, our nation, and our freedoms.

Harvard
A Fascists is still a Fascists, no matter which school they attend.

Illegals and Criminals 
I don't care who you are.

If you and your family are here in this country illegally or have been granted asylum/sanctuary but have committed murder, rape, armed robbery, and other similar crimes, you need to go back to your home country.

Isolation
There is a danger to these United States becoming isolationists. Look at WW II

Italy
What, ... You thought the financial crisis in Europe was over?

Niceness
Be careful.

Not everybody deserves a helping hand from you and your family, much less a room in your home.

Pharmaceuticals
Folks, ... For companies to stay in business, they need to make a profit. If they can't make a profit in Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, or, in this case, any other place with Socialized Medicine, then they need to make a bigger profit in these United States.

Prison Reform
This reform will also force many prison workers to move to more violent prison, if they want to stay in those careers.

Question?
Let me get this right, ...

The government displaces several hundred farmers, paves over 83 square miles of farmland, is going to concentrate 11 million people in one place, so the new city can be “the best destination in the world for technology, infrastructure and also human resource development."

What are the people going to eat?

Rates
Inflation in the critical items, food, shelter, and other items, you and your family purchase is already increasing.

Now, ...

It's going to happen to everything else.

Ring
That's probably the ugliest ring, I've ever seen

With that said, ...

They should have gone to school to be Pharmacists then they wouldn't be looking at 10 to 25 years in prison for selling heroin

Slavery
I understand what he is saying.

The only problem, ...

He's making $35,000,000 a year for nine months of work, if his team makes it to the Big Game.

SLBM
Submarine launched ballistic missiles are for so-called soft-target weapons like factory, military bases, and ... cities

Socialists
It's what they do

Solar Storms
Ha, Ha, Ha, ... $16,000,000,000 in damages!

What about the number of dead, from a coronal mass ejection (CME)?

Witchcraft
Protestantism made this country great. Their ideals, along with others, helped propel our country to greatness.

Losing that majority will have consequences.

Wonderland
To be able to survive an event, you and your family need five things. The first is an emergency evacuation kit with a place to go, appropriate shelter, water to drink, and food to eat.

Well, ...

We have two out of four, so let us go to Mars.

Worldview
In other worlds, ...

It's the cool kids against their parents

With that said, ...

I wish the article had equally bashed the Democrats and the Republicans, instead of just the Republicans.


Overheard

"Bake as many cookies as you can while the fixings are still there and stuff a few in your ammunition box for the fretful days ahed."

"Each side will support the other as long as it remains in their national interest to do so,"

"More than five percent of the population has fled the country due to shortages of basic necessities such as food and medicine."

"All the players on the Lebanese side have something to hide."

"... loneliness is distress because of a discrepancy between actual social relationships and desired social relationships."

The authors also noted that Facebook remains the top social networking site in the world and the third most visited site on the Internet, after Google and YouTube, despite market fluctuations and controversies.

"The authors also noted that Facebook remains the top social networking site in the world and the third most visited site on the internet, after Google and YouTube, despite market fluctuation and controversies."

"It's happened before, and it could happen again."

"It would require government intervention on a scale arguably not seen in U.S. history and inevitably force Congress to raise taxes on energy."

"I am compelled to drop this note to thank the filmmakers for having made this film … I knew Don Shirley, and, in fact, had an office across the street from his at Carnegie Hall, and I experienced much of what he did at the same time. This movie is accurate, it is true, and it's a wonderful movie that everyone should see. The few people who appear to be objecting to the film's depiction of the time and the man are dead wrong, and, if the basis of their resentment stems from it having been written and/or directed by someone who isn't African American, I disagree with them even more … I personally thank the filmmakers for having told this important story from a very different lens, one no less compelling than any other."

"It was too good to check."

Look at a map of these United States and you will immediately notice two things, the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.

History wise, these two oceans have protected us from the ills of Europe.

Things You Might Want to Think About


1/1,024th
Wow, another Democrat claiming an ancestry, just like Elizabeth Warren, that may help her politically.

Who would have thought?

44,000
Over ten thousand people took the offer; even though, Verizon offered it to 44,000 people, to try and save $10,000,000,000 by 2021.

Do you want to bet, those other people are going to be laid off?

$25,300,000
Please, ...

The so-called Key Employees can see the writing on the wall. They will bale the first offer comes their way.

Agreement
I would approve of the measure too, especially if immigration got rid of my criminals, poor, and other trouble makers.

Assistance
If they really wanted to help the so-called migrants, the American Friends Service Committee would advocate for reforms in the illegal's home countries.

Coat
What all good socialist totalitarians are wearing this year.

Creep
Let's see, ...

It took them six paragraphs before they mentioned "... suicide is by far the greatest killer, accounting for about 60% of all gun deaths."

However, ...

They quickly made up for it by calling for more freedom-control gun-control.

D'oh
First, a potentially hostile government owns the company that makes your phones and computer systems.

Second, a cyber attack could shut down your country for months, maybe years, killing millions.

Third, ...

What would you do?

Evolution
Either you survive, or you die because Mother Nature doesn't care either way.

False Flag
Ha, ha, ha, ...

Trust No One, ... including me.

Hoaxes
Terrorism comes in many forms. Here is another one, for you information.

Hyperbole
Like the little boy that cried 'Wolf!,' Sooner or later, they might be right, but no one will listen.

Fake News
The headline should read, ...

President Eliminates Expensive Dinner, Saving Taxpayers Millions of Dollars

Mali
Remember this lesson, ...

More civilians are killed during a conflict then all of the soldiers, ... combined.

North Korea
Ha, ha, ha.

Same ol', same ol'

Robert F. Kennedy
Wow, ...

No Republicans?

Russia
I wonder, ... Would Democrats consider this interference, if the Saudis had passed a similar resolution about these United States?

The System
First, the mom was asked to move. She refused.

Second, the cops show up and asked her to leave. She refused.

Third, ...

Did you know, parents have to periodically provide paperwork, like pay stubs, to continue receiving child benefits.

If a parent or guardian fails to provide the paper work, benefits are suddenly and quickly suspended.

Fourth, ...

Usually, there is a backlog because the welfare offices are understaffed, so parents need an appointment or they have to do a walk-in.

Needless to say, the folks with appointments are seen first while the walk-ins have to wait and wait and wait.

Did I tell you, the welfare offices are small, to save money, so the money can go towards the services provided by the child services office.

Lastly, ...

Even though the article's writer plays the Race Card, talking about slavery and the so-called immigrants on our southern border, the cops did the right thing, trying to separate an innocent baby from a possible violent person.

Undateable
Wow, ...

You don't just have to be good looking

The Wall
You know what's funny?

Me and you with a lot of other people want this wall, to stop or slow down illegal immigration, just not the President.
