I have been working very hard, so I have been very busy, at least that's what my supervisor thinks.

Well, ...

Inventory
We are forming a new team (No, not the Space Force), so we are transferring equipment, buying new stuff, and just trying to get all the supplies, they will need in the short term.

Well, ... It all started with an inventory.

That's right. We had to know what we had, before we went out and bought any stuff.

Just like your family should do to get prepared for the tough times ahead.

Things You Might Want to Think About

$10
Let me get this straight. 'Blacks' are outraged because a nightclub charged them $10 more then 'whites.'

But, ...

They were O.K. when 'white' people were charged $10 to provide drinks to 'blacks'

Automation
Great, ...

In a few short years, we will have remotely operated soldiers then we'll have remotely operated police officers, then we'll have remotely operated terrorist.

The only problem, ...

We won't be remotely operated.

Civilians
I hate it when the media, especially conservative news sites, calls people 'civilians' when they have successfully defended themselves with a firearm.

Why?

I think it gives credence to the belief that the Police are different from other civilians.

In other words, ...

You are either in the military, or you are a civilian. Since the cops aren't in the military, they are civilians. Just like the rest of us.

Cease-Fire
I wonder why I wasn't suprised.

In other words, ...

When you're winning, don't stop.

Criminals
Illegal immigrants are criminals.

When they get stopped, searched, then arrested, it's their fault the children are crying. Not the cops.

Disrespect
What did they expect?

With that said, ...

Better get your guns and ammo now because Liberals are trying to kill conservatives.


Finally
As you know, it concerned me when states and cities started taking down memorials to military leaders and soldiers in this country because I think it is a poor idea to remind soldiers how fickle our citizens can be, think Vietnam then Desert Storm.

Well, ...

When it comes to bankrupt political leaders like Jefferson Davis and John McCain, I think it's a great idea. So do a lot of other people

I hope they remember that when we decide to take down King, Jr's memorials.

Girl Scouts
They are making a difference

Hungary
Folks all over the world are facing unbelievable danger.

Well, ...

If you're white, Christian, and are willing to learn Hungarian, you might have a new home, if you're willing to follow the law.

Illegal Immigrants
A family arrives in these United States illegally. The parent or parents are arrested and sent to a detention facility. Their children are sent to a childcare facility.

In other words, ...

Some folks want children to be sent to prison with their parents, where they get to hangout with murders, rapists, child molesters, and other villains


Mars
I am a firm believer that we, as a nation, need to explore and colonize other planets, like ... Mars

One
It only takes one person to change the course of a country or ... a civilization.

P.S.
Here is some of the things the new 'president' is facing.

Powder
Repeat after me, ... Dust Explosion.

Look it up. It's on the internet.

Rights
Liberals, at least on NPR, are going crazy with President Trump depraving illegals their rights, under the Fifth Amendment

However, ...

It cost money for the lawyers, so I have an idea.

We can reduce public assistance (SNAP, Section 8, and Handouts to the Kock Brothers, Walmart, and others) and use it to defend the illegals.

Sugar
What's so bad about this ruling? Some folks are going to add honey to their product then promote how they don't add extra sugar to their product.

War
There are so many wars going on. You and your family will probably experience one, within your lifetimes.

White on Black Crime
Yeap, ...

You might want to ... ah, ... racial profile your neighborhood, place of work, and the businesses you visit.


Overheard

"In other words, the Democrats want to win in November to protect corrupt executive branch departments from their boss."

"Unlike Americans, Germans had no legal right to keep and bear arms and the liberal Weimar Republic sought to register, regulate and prohibit firearms. When Hitler’s National Socialist (Nazi) Party took power, they used those records to disarm and oppress the people, and that is why there was no armed resistance movement in Germany. "

"The more accurate metaphor for the economy is an ecosystem."

"This is a campaign of cultural terrorism and dehumanizing racial persecution that whites are being subjected to that is manifesting itself all across the Western world."

"The debate quickly beat a path to identity politics, which make up the actual substance of PC, itself only a method of conveying the substance. PC acts as a filter for sifting out thought that doesn’t conform to orthodox ideology, and for punishing those who dare to express the filtered-out ideas. So, PC only allows for a narrow range of expressed opinion on identity politics. PC is literally thought-policing. It’s hard to imagine anyone being in favor of that, which is exactly why PC behavior is so odious to those of us who value free speech."

"One cannot permit unique opportunities to slip by for the sake of trifles."

"It’s the executive branch’s job to enforce the law. It’s up to Congress to change the laws, which it can do if only it acts."

"For the longest time, the liberals have been having their way in lassoing countries into their fold, including America. All this is in jeopardy now what with the rise of nationalism -- healthy nationalism -- and especially the election of Donald J. Trump. So the elite try to play every trick in the book to keep their agenda moving forward, like this word game with what is and what is not a suitable democracy. These efforts are doomed to fail. Globalism and its twin of liberalism have reached their high-water mark. That tide is now receding. Hence the desperation. "

"The gold-standard method showed a direct linear relationship between increased sodium intake and increased risk of death."

Plastic Bags
Several times, this year and last (about 1/3 of the way down or at 19 February, 2016) , I talked about plastic bags.

To recap, we have talked about how plastic shopping bags can be used for cordage, to tie things together. We have talked about how plastic bags can be used for shelter. We have talked about how they can be used to carry water, and ...

Plastic bags are versatile.

All of the usual suspects are calling for a market crash, again.

Needless to say, ...

You and your family can or can not ignore them, depending on your views.

With that said, ...


Possible Events
I will say it again, you and your family need to get prepared, at least, for the likely events that may happen in your area, such as winter storms in the upper midwest, hurricanes in the southeast, droughts in the southwest, earthquakes and tsunamis on the west coast, and many other disasters, like being fired/laid off, power outages, car crashes, home accidents, and many others.

Things You Might Want to Think About

Charity
I guess folks are starting to realize, ...

The federal government doles out millions of dollars in charity every year, food stamps, Section 8 housing, tax breaks for businesses, and, many others, even for rich folks.

So, ...

They don't need to donate to charity.

Illegal Immigrants
I don't care who they killed, illegal alien, legal immigrant, or citizen.

Them boys need to go to prison for the rest of their lives.

Mental Health Problems
We will probably start seeing similar mental health issues, in the next few months, in our gun-free zones, such as schools, malls, grocery stores, and any place with two or more people.

Because, ...

Some folks still don't approve of the cure.

Proof of Concept
If it works, do it again and again and again.

Socialists
Margaret Thatcher is famously known to have said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

Or, ...

The other people leave town, so Socialists can't get their money.

Words
You know, ... One or two people talking crazy isn't a big deal

But, ...

One, two, or ten million people talking crazy is dangerous for you and your family.


Overheard
"I wouldn’t count out the possibility of the original unscrubbed report emerging from deep inside the FBI itself."

"Stone and Caputo’s conspiratorial claims don’t come out of nowhere, on the contrary. The Washington Post has examined the records two men had cited as the reason for suspicion, and they show that the man who approached Caputo and Stone is actually a Russian national who has claimed to work as an FBI informant."

"... a computer-science major, was the only member of the class who had ever fired a gun."

"You know, those same areas where your party has systematically disarmed the population over the decades? In other words, even if people in these areas were willing to rise up and try to respond with violence, the worst they could manage, as things currently stand, would be the riots we saw throughout 2016 and 2017. Let me ask you, Rep. Pelosi, how much was accomplished by those riots?"

"The nine dynamics are mutually reinforcing."

Friday's Thoughts and Other Stuff (Maintenance)


Dear Preppers and Survivalists,

Construction Mechanic 3rd Class Timmy Sharp

Photographer's Mate 3rd Class John P. Curtis

Two is One. One is None
If you have been prepping for a few months, you have probably read about the importance of having duplicates, from the statement:

Three is Two. Two is One, and One is None.

Of course, like all general statements, it is informative and misleading.


Important
First, it is important for you and your family to have multiple ways of doing certain tasks. An example is creating a fire. when you and your family are out and about in the wilderness, you and your partner should carry a pack of matches and some tinder, have a butane lighter and know how to make tinder from resources at hand, and a firesteel and a striker and have a cotton handkerchief that you're willing to turn into tinder for a fire. Doing this would insure your family can keep warm, discourage insects and animals from attacking your family, signal rescuers, cook your food or warm a drink for your family, and many other things during an event.

But, ... It is ...


Misleading
For many other tasks, you and your family don't need three or two of everything.

However, ...

You do need to know how to improvise a solution, take shelter.

First, do you really need two homes to provide adequate shelter for your family?

Maybe, depending on the situation, but probably not, especially if you can improvise a shelter from natural material, have a close friend or relative that will allow you to shelter with them during an event, or have a credit card or some emergency cash to rent a motel room for a few nights as your homeowner's insurance gets up and running.


Another way the "Two is one. One is none." statement is misleading is when it comes to spare parts and maintenance. Let us take spare parts, first.

Spare Parts Shop,
Gambia (ca 2008)

Ikiwaner
Spare Parts
Currently, do you have two cars of the same exact model year? How about, do you or a family member take spare parts off another vehicle, like an oil filter, and put those spare parts on your vehicle?

Well, ... Of course you don't because it would be a waste of money to take parts off one car to fix another car when it's cheaper to buy a new oil filter, v-belt, or other maintenance part.

The same thing for many other items, like grinders. You don't need to buy another quality grinder . You need to purchase some spare parts to replace likely breakable parts.

Take the Little Ark-series grinder, from Retsel. You don't need another grinder, at $120. You need some spare parts.

The same goes for firearms. You don't need another rifle for everyone in the family, you need some spare parts to replace parts that will become worn or broken.

Which this thought, leads to ...


Maintenance
You and your family, also, need the tools and supplies to take care of your equipment. This means you need to store oil and grease. This means, you need to have the skills to use these tools and supplies.

So, ....

What do you think, all of us need to store?

"If you are good enough for war ..." (ca 1917)
Source
Library of Congress

Good Enough
There is a saying, "The Enemy of Best is Good Enough"

O.K., maybe not, but you get my point, or do you?

Let me explain, ...

I drive a Ford Fiesta S Hatch, not really. It's roomy enough for me and my emergency evacuation + kit during my commute, and it can hold my partner and two kids for an event, if needed.

Well, ...

A better car would be a Volvo v60, at $62,000. It's a little roomer and still has space for an emergency evacuation + kit. Plus, it's a Volvo.

But, ...

Is it really, a better car, or is it a status symbol.

In other words, ...

"Some people just want a little protection, and I’d rather someone with a limited budget has a Hi-Point than go without a gun at all. A good guy with a Hi-Point can still save their lives or the life of someone else. A good guy with a Hi-Point is still a good guy with a gun."

Or, ...

A good gal with a Hi-Point C9, Smith & Wesson SD9VE, .357 magnum revolver, or ... is still a good gal with a gun.

Freedoms
Here in these Untied States, we have many freedoms, the freedom of speech, the freedom to own firearms, the freedom to vote for our representatives, and many more outlined in our Constitution and its amendments, better known as The Bill of Rights.

But, ...

Which one is the most necessary or most important one?

For the National Rifle Association members it would probably the right to keep and bear arms, according to the Second Amendment.

For the members of the Electronic Freedom Foundation, it would probably be unrestricted speech, according to the First Amendment.

For others, it might be the Fourth Amendment. For Lawyers it might be the Fifth Amendment. For certain senators, it might be the Seventeenth Amendment. For illegal immigrants, it might be the Fourteenth Amendment. For 'blacks,' it might be the Thirteenth Amendment. For teenagers, it might be the Twenty-Sixth Amendment.

But, ...

Which one is the most important?

My opinion?

It's the Tenth

FaceBook

Ha, Ha, Ha
It took long enough, for karma to catch up with him.

Ha, Ha, Ha, Again
What's so funny about this story?

I believed it.

Guns
Crime and crime prevention is a complex subject. It takes years of developing a better police and resident relationship, improving opportunities for city residents, and other leftist liberal money wasters.

When, ...

All the city and state has to do is get more people to buy, carry, and use firearms, when appropriate.

Kids

I guess everybody was 'black.'

You know why?

Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, David Hogg, and so-called Black Lives Matter didn't say a thing about the shooting.

Only One
Just to set the record straight, former President Bill Clinton is the only president of these United States to be impeached. Former President Nixon resigned before being impeached.

Also, ...

William Jefferson Clinton is a sexual predator. Even Ms. Monica Lewinsky agrees with me.

Also, ...

Who's the other guy in the interview, his lawyer?

Polio
Yeap, ... During an event, you're children might die or become permanently disabled becasue, during good times, you didn't think they needed their immunization shots.

Responsibility
Please! Please!! Please Remember!!!

Officer Scot Peterson had no legal responsibility to defend those students and teachers from anyone, including the scumbag Nikolas Cruz.

Socialists
Aaah, the mean ol' Democrats finally got tired of people taking their stuff without paying.

I wish they would get tired of trying to take my stuff, too.

Substitution
The nice lady, according to Jon Stewart, called the President's daughter a cunt.

Her exact words were “You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless cunt,”

Well, ...

What do you think would have happened if some, so-called, nice lady had called Chelsea Clinton, Malia Obama, or Sasha Obama a cunt, during their father's presidency?

I bet, Jon Stewart wouldn't have been defending them.
