Friday's Thoughts and Other Stuff


Dear Preppers and Survivalists,

Aladdin Stanley Thermos
Model #A-1305B

Worthpoint


A-1305A
I walk through the local charity stores about once a month. Sometimes I find a bargain, sometimes I don't.

Well, ...

I found one the other day. It is a stainless steel thermos by Stanley.

Now, this is a 'special' thermos. It's a wide mouth thermos, so it's easy to clean.

And, ...

Unlike the glass (the inner liner), this thermos has a stainless steel liner, so its almost indestructible.

However, ...

It needed a good cleaning, so I grabbed a towel then started to scrub, inside and out. The inside was groody with dried coffee, but it cleaned up, after I grabbed the dish washing sponge, soaked the thermos with water for a few tens of minutes, used a spoon to push the sponge around the bottom, and rinsed and rinsed, some more.

In other words, ...

My $4.31 and a little effort was well spent.


Why, Why, Why?
Of course, you have every right to ask me, 'Why did you purchase this groody thermos?'

Two words, Thermos Cookery.

Volume Four: Number Thirty-Nine




Voting
I disagree with Ol' Remus, over at Yer Ol' Woodpile Report. I think we can vote our way out of our problems. The only problem, we still aren't getting the right people to elect.

That's right. The same ol' people that are willing to cave to communist and socialist policies are running for office. We can see this by our country's lack of a border wall, holding businesses (especially Big Business) accountable for hiring illegal aliens, and failing to return criminal aliens to their home country.

But, ... There is a problem.

We (you and your adult family members) need to vote, this November!

We can't sit this one out. We can't stay home because it's a forgone conclusion. We can't log a protest vote for a third party because the so-called major party pick is a sleaze bag.

We have to vote this November!

So, ...

I need your help!

I need you to register to vote then vote on November 6th, 2018!

I need you to get your partner registered to vote then make sure they vote on November 6th, 2018!

I need you to get your friends and extended family to register to vote and have them vote on November 6th, 2018!

Lastly, I need your help in getting as many people as possible to vote on November 6th, 2018!

Yeah, ... It's that important

Things You Might Want to Think About

22,000,000
Folks, ... We don't have an illegal immigration problem.

We have a border control problem and a law enforcement problem

Assault
First, ... When a person, male or female, says they have been sexually assaulted, I believe them, at first.

After that, evidence must be collected and an investigation completed before a woman or a man should be tried for sexual assault.

With that said, ... You read the story

Black Panther
Just to make sure, you know what the movie was really about.

Computers
I was reading an article, the other day. In the article, the author suggests connected machines, such as refrigerators, baby monitors, and other devices could be used to launch denial of services attacks.

Well, ...

It seems there are other cyber attacks that could be launched from your very own home.

Disturbance
Folks, bullets don't care who or what they hit, a police officer or a citizen.

Plus, ... Have you thought of body armour for you and your partner?

Divestment
I wonder, do the Saudis know something we should know?

Like, ...

The Kingdom is running out of oil?

E-Mail
You know how they are responding?

They're putting a “Sensitive But Unclassified”server in a closet at Mr. Pompeo home. ; - )

Fees
Are you and your family still using Big banks to do your business?

Oooh, ...

Notice how the customers aren't getting those fees returned to them?

Fort Trump
Yes, it's a stupid name, but ...

For a large military base, I would like to suggest, ... Joint Base Casimir Pulaski

If it's a smaller base, I suggest Camp Frank Witek

For a naval station, I suggest Naval Operations Base Hyman Rickover

Lastly, for an Air Force base, I suggest Air Force base Gabby Gabreski

Ha, Ha, Ha
A secret ocean lair, sharks, and ...

No lasers, ... yet ; - )

Karen Monahan
Yeap, ... The classic media is diverting our attention

Korea
Cool, but where are the lights?

Memory
Remember the guy that wrote a blog on the government's time. He wanted to kill all the white people.

The only difference this time, the guy wants to kill all the rich people.

Observatory
I have been there. It's an interesting place, especially if you're interested in the Sun.

But, ...

It's remote, so I can understand the reason for evacuations.

However, ...

I'm still holding out for them spotting aliens. Hopefully, the world-saving kind, not the world-destroying kind.

Puerto Rico
Wow, some of these people are clueless.

Puerto Rico is a Socialist's paradise waiting to happen. A blood bath, if you were wondering.

Proof of Concept
Wow, .. What a way to lose your access to the White House.

With that said, ...

The Secret Service is working overtime to figure out what happened there.

Refugees
If you and your family were worth billions of dollars, where would you buy property?

A small country like New Zealand? A South American country, such a Paraguay?

Or, ...

How about the strongest country in the world, with a strong belief in the Rule of Law?

Science
Oooh, another way for people to try and control our nation.

Spirituality
Who knew?

Shaving
Dude, Don't make a mess

Tariffs
First, the China-Marts and others gut our factories.

Next, they gut our workers.

Now, they want to gut our country, so they can sell cheap stuff to underpaid, underemployed workers.

War in Space
Yeap, ... when Mr. Elon Musk thinks he can make a buck, off the government, it has started.


Overheard

"But the conventional wisdom is unduly alarmist."

"On one side were FDR’s progressives, who would never be confused with the left wing of today’s Democratic Party, save for their shared distaste for political machines. (Yesterday’s progressives tended to be well-born and well-educated, obsessed with issues like temperance, cultural conformity, laissez-faire economics and moral uplift for the poor. Many disdained hyphenated identities and saw national decline and cultural degradation written in the ledgers kept on Ellis Island, leading to passage of immigration restrictions in 1924.)"

"... has all the earmarks of a calculated political ambush."

"No amount of charity or government spending will stop the next pandemic or plague...In many ways, the world is long overdue for one. basic public health will be at risk for maybe 75% or the world's population and if it is reduced to the levels of 100 years ago... that will be a loss of about 75% of the people alive today. Bacteria spread a lot more efficiently than socialist programs. Food for thought."

"allies do not have faith in American commitments because American troops might die; they have faith because American troops can kill and win."

"We're all spectators now"

"Imagine the awful possibility that Mr. Trump may have to declare some kind of martial law to roust out these seditious rascals and clean up their departments."

Not Listening
Yes, I know you and your family are buying M-16 (AR-15) series rifles, instead of SKS rifles.

That's O.K. because every family makes their own decisions.

Well, ...

Just make sure, you and your partner are inspecting it.

AK-74
This one is for fun, unless you live really, really close to the Russian Federation then it's not such a stupid poor idea.

Let me explain, ...

The AK-47 uses a cartridge that isn't made in these United States. It's made in ... Russia, Ukraine, and other places like that.

This means, you and your family have to stock lots and lots of ammunition to insure a secure supply of cartridges.

Because, ... ?

Ammunition and magazines are consumables. Without 'em, your rifle is a club, an expensive one at that.

An Alternative
Buying the rental isn't going to work out. The house has too much damage for the price, so back to square one for me.

With that said, ..

The objective was to have another house that we controlled. This would allow my family to flee most problems.

The house had a decent basement (it was dry), so I could cache certain items. You know the basics, water, food, medical supplies, firearms and ammunition, clothing, bedding (sheets, pillows, pillow cases, and blankets), and other stuff.

It would have been tight with the renters still there, but we would have owned the house.

Remember, ...

You and your family travel to a place that knows you're coming, not the national forest, with certain supplies and equipment cached, so you can arrive with the clothes on your back.

Needless to say, ... We are on a budget, a tight budget. This means I would be responsible to complete the repairs and upgrades, to add value to the house.

Guess what will happen?

With that said, ...

Did you hear the economy is going to collapse in 2019? How about 2020?

Things You Might Want to Think About

Attack
They forgot some things, ...

The murders were Muslims. They killed many innocents in their attack.

The attack was used as an excuse to reduce our Liberties, by both Democrats and Republicans.

Bipolar
Ha, ha, ha.

I love the popular press with their talk of doom and gloom, no matter what happens!

Crowds
You need to listen to Ol' Remus, so ...

Stay Away From Crowds

Florence
It ain't over, by a long shot 

History
First, .. China is a bigger threat to Russia then these United States. The Russians know this for a fact.

Second, ... The Chinese and soviets were allies for many years in the late '40s and early '50s

Third, ... A lot of intelligence analysts are going to be working overtime

Leadership
Some folks are laughing about this award.

Not me because she has called for the murder of our political leader!

You know where that leads.

Living Wage
Thought you could use some good news about instituting a living wage.

Money
Remember, ...

Cash is King! when the disasters strike.

Nazis
At first, everyone agreed with them (O.K., not really, but it was close)

Next, they targeted one or two groups as 'The Problem.'

Next, they banned some books, burned them, then went after the  problem.

Lastly, 10,000,000 people died because of the Socialists in Germany. 10,000,000 people died in Russia because of the Socialists. 10,000,000 people died in China because of the Socialists.

Will 10,000,000 people die in these United States because of the Socialists?

Options
Did you notice?

It's a charter school, so parents can take their children out of the school, if they disagree with the policy.

Racists
Wow, .. Where is everyone when a cartoonist draws a so-called white guy with big lips and weird hair?

Sophistication
Folks, criminals are smarter than you think.

Technology
It is a two-edged sword. It can be used for freedom.

And, ...

It can be used for oppression

War
Yes, Folks. These United States and a lot of other countries are still at war with North Korea.


Overheard

"none"

"Beneath Yellowstone lies an active volcano with the ability to change the global climate for years and trigger an extinction event."

"heavy-metal diplomacy"

"After years of trying to demolish former President Barack Obama’s prized law, GOP leaders still lack the votes to succeed."

"Only time will tell."

"The intoxicating effects of benevolence help to explain the growing appeal of politically correct attitudes about everything from “the environment” to the fate of the Third World."

"silent donation."

"Faced with the current disquiet and a lack of alternatives, many voters will simply choose the party that is currently out of power to lodge their protest, even though Democrats are really in power in all but name only."

I'm running late, so come back for an update

Ammunition
Right now, ammunition is relatively cheap and available from many places, like Ammoman.com

So, ...

If you're thinking, you and your family are going to be in a shooting war; you need more ammo.

Why?

How many old guns do you see, compared to how much old ammo you see? Plus,

Levi Strauss
When the only difference between you and another product is your customer service (or views on gun-control freedom control), you need to be better then the other guy.

In other words, ...

I won't be buying any products made by Levi Strauss and Co.

More Ammo
I want you to notice several things.

First, Omar Santa Perez (the dirtbag shooter) was carrying extra ammunition.

Second, he came in through the loading dock, bypassing any metal detectors at the front entrances

Third, there was several wounded people

Lastly, .... The police officers still took minutes to arrive.

Primaries
Unlike other people, I believe we (our nation) can vote our way out of the situation.

The only problem, ...

Folks are interfering in our elections!


Overheard

"However, I’m going to give the ACLU credit here. You see, the ACLU isn’t quite as ideologically blind as many such left-leaning organizations are, and it’s not afraid to slam a liberal when they’re out of line."

Friday's Thoughts and Other Stuff (Ammunition)


Dear Preppers and Survivalists,



Buy! Buy!! Buy!!!
Right now, ammunition is relatively cheap and available from many places, like Ammoman.com

So, ...

If you're thinking, you and your family are going to be in a shooting war, any time soon; you need more ammo.

Why?

How many old guns do you see, compared to how much old ammo you see?


How Much?
I know. I suggest having only 250 rounds of ammunition for your defensive rifle and 100 rounds for your handgun, but that's for a certain group of events, like a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, a tornado, or a winter storm.

But, ...

Some events are going to require your family to have lots, lots more of ammunition, such as a civil war that you can't escape, an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event that effects the whole country, or an invasion that you're going to fight against.

So, ...

For your handgun, you need say 500 to 1000 rounds, for each handgun. (You have been standardizing, right?) This handgun and the ammunition is used, in some cases, as a way to get more guns and ammunition, by murdering an invading soldier to take her weapon, ammunition, and combat equipment.

For your defensive rifle, you need say 1000 to 5000 rounds of ammo, for each rifle.

Don't believe me, ask a combat vet how much ammo they burned through defending themselves from an attack.

Link:
YouTube: TheHossUSMC - How Much Ammo for SHTF?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS_k1Ftqpm4


Storage
With 4000 to 20000 rounds of ammunition, you and your family will have this ammo for a long time, especially if you keep rotating your stock, just like your food storage. (Old ammo out, by practicing your shooting skills with new ammo in)

So, ...

The best method is just like your food storage, in a cool, dry place, away from moisture. In other words, a dry basement.

But, ...

What to store it in?


Ammo Cans
I love these United States military. They have some of the best equipment, including ammunition cans. These so-called cans are metal boxes with handles to easily carry and protect your ammunition from heat and moisture.

Bernard Sanders, Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and a few others aren't talking to you. They are talking to people that don't understand economics, government, and history.

With that said, ...

Things You Might Want to Think About

Again, Again, and Again
Folks, we can't compromise anymore. Ever!

Angry Young Men
Just so you know, they will be a threat to you and your country, ... every country.

China
You remember when President Trump withdraw all those top secret clearances?

Data
You and your family should be paid for your information, since Google, Microsoft, and many others are selling your data.

Dedication
You know the yard signs that really impress me?

The handmade ones.

Democratic Socialists
We know where this leads.

Fake News
All it takes, for fake news to happen, is for someone to lie to the media, the media to believe the person, then to publish/broadcast the story.

First Man
First, ... I won't be seeing this movie.

Second, ... Yeah, these United States sent the first man, and many more, to the moon.

Third, ... We, these United States, needs to send a lot of people to Mars, ... permanently.

Foreign Agent
When, oh, when is the Clinton Foundation and its cronies going to be investigated for the same crimes?

Fortnite
The game builds teamwork, strategizing, communication, and other skills. Plus, teachers are using it to teach math, reading, and other subjects.

Sounds cool, doesn't it.

Until you realize, ... It's a winner take all game, so folks are learning to kill their opponents. Opponents that might include you and your family during an event.

Funny
This is soooo true. You have to read it.

Government
Ha, Ha, Ha.

The government employees had a perk that they could use during work hours, a special DMV office, one week a month.

Instead of stating it existed, they lied about it.

Now, they don't have it.

National Public Radio
They forgot one important fact, ...

Nicaragua has a socialist government.

Robots
First, they are used in industry, to replace inefficient workers

Next, they are used in business, to replace unavailable workers.

Third, they are used to replace expensive workers.

Lastly, they will be used to replace all workers.

Shrinking
You know why?

People are tired of the same ol' stuff, give the Republican control of the White House, The Congress, and all we get is more government, a socialist government at that.

True Colors
I wonder if the big crowd of folks understand where their chants of “Cops and Klan go hand in hand,” “Who do you protect? Who do you serve?” and “No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA” lead to, for our country?

What Ever
Blah, blah, racism, blah, blah, ...

Folks, watch what you post on social media. It can come back to bite you in the ass.

And, ...

Ms. Nia Wilson was murdered, in a gunfree zone, with a knife.


Overheard

"I hate to break it to you, but the everything bubble isn't permanent"


"The New York Times, once known as the Newspaper of Record, continued to ignore that story. Their bad faith specialty these days is stoking the fires of race war under the pretense of “social justice.” For instance, the op-ed piece they ran today (Friday) titled The Religion of Whiteness Becomes a Suicide Cult. It’s hard to imagine a better way to send those Hoosier clods to the gun cabinet — and not to blow their own brains out, either, but to hunt down the very Wokesters who openly pledge to exterminate them. This isn’t even “fake news.” It’s more like racist sedition."

"Never before have American companies tried so hard to employ so few people."

"It's just like a loved one that's missing in action — the more time that passes, the less likely you are" to hear anything, he said. "I mean, you still hold out hope, and we are. We'll still listen. But we have to be realistic, too, as difficult as that is emotionally."
Nagai said relying on robots for everything from front desk duty to cleaning had proved an efficient choice in a country with a shrinking labour market.

"Meanwhile, way out in Left Field — Salt Lake City, actually - ..."

"... it’s good to see at least someone in the leftist media not so colored by their hatred of guns that they forget everything else they supposedly stand for."

"Three jew haters and a rapist walk into a stadium…"

"I love my country, I love this country, and I stand by the Constitution, and I stand by the Second Amendment, and it’s something that I take pride in, and it’s something I’ll back up."
