Friday's Thoughts and Other Stuff


Dear Preppers and Survivalists,

The Gleaners
Jean-François Millet
(1857)

House
I can't remember if I told you or not. The house deal fell through because it needed too much work.

Oooh, .... well.


Inflation
As we have been experiencing, these last few years, inflation isn't a big deal. It's running at about, say, 2% on average.

Well, ...

Have you noticed, food prices are going up? How about fuel? Electricity rates? And, mortgage rates are creeping up, too. Not to forget, so have the interest rates for certificates of deposit (CD).

Notice, ...

I didn't say anything about the stuff that doesn't keep you alive because you can always ...


Kick the Habit
Do you have an addiction? How about a vice, like alcohol? Tobacco? Gambling? Collecting pretty baubles? Even, ... Dare I say it ... Guns?

You need to be kicking those negative habits, like not ...


Exercising
One of my long, long, long time ago 'work-friends' was a former police officer. He saw some crazy shit, in the line of duty. One time, he went to a call for a murder, but the guy wasn't dead; even though, he had a hatchet buried in his skull. Dude was lucky; he survived that fight.

Well, ...

If you didn't know it, some potential villains are arming up for a fight. This fight includes killing you and your family because you believe in the Rule of Law, God, Guns, and other stuff like being able to wear a baseball cap with a so-called controversial campaign slogan.

Oooh, ...

They're planning to flaunt the laws on concealed carry, battery, and murder while you and your family obey the law.

What's wild about this situation?

There are politicians that support them, from both major parties and some minor political parties, too.


Vote
I have talked about this in the past. You, your family, coworkers, and friends need to be asking yourself, 'What have our elected leaders done to progress our causes (God, Guns, and ... Less Government) these last few years?' If the answer is nothing, you might vote for a ...


Republican
Yes, I know. They have been sleaze bags these last few years, bowing to the so-called liberal agenda, and we (you and your family) need to hold them accountable for not deporting 22 million illegal immigrants, saving ObamaCare, talking about freedom gun control, borrowing $1,000,000,000,000, and ... the list is endless, to include failing to confirm ...


Kavanaugh
To me, if the dude was an adult, like Bill Clinton, and not a teenager (under 18), he should never be confirm.

Plus, ...

If we hold him accountable for his transgressions as a young man (the anti-gunnies would class him as a child in their reports), no man would hold any position of power, except maybe Dog Catcher.


Remember
All this is about power. The power to direct the country down a path that would destroy the World.

No, ... That isn't hyperbole.

I'm serious.

These United States is the last bastion of Liberty. There is no other country strong enough to counter the Chinese, in their goal to control the world. (Forget Russia. They tried and lost; even though, they keep on trying.)


Politics
I'll stop because we (you and your family) need to be getting prepared for the tough times ahead because some of our adversaries have the ability to kill a bunch of us.

And, ...

These adversaries would partner with some of our own country's citizens to shoot up schools, bomb police stations, assassinate political leaders, and commit other terrorist acts.

Ooops, ...

Liberate our country from the evil ...


Capitalists
Like you, I don't have a lot of money for my preps, so I look for deals at the local charity stores. They seem to have everything from blankets, warm coats (recently, I found, but didn't buy, a Lands' End insulated coat, for my wife. That coat was probably $100 new! Ooooh, shoot that coat cost $179, full price), candles, cookware, and a lot of other stuff.

There is one problem! You have to go, every week.

Note: Katniss would kill me, if I brought one more warm coat into the house ; - )


Sales
Needless to say, you are probably, wisely, getting ready for an economic collapse. One way is to purchase lots and lots of the stuff you normally use when it is 'On Sale!' at the local China-Marts.

Stuff like, ...

* Shampoo
* Conditioner
* Body Wash or Bath Soap
* Laundry Detergent
* Dish Washing Detergent
* Floor Cleaner
* Garbage Bags
* Food Storage Bags
* Feminine Hygiene Products
     - Tampons
     - Pantie Liners
     - Midol or other similar product
* Toothpaste
* Tooth Brushes
* Dental Floss
* Etc.


Calories
Lastly, I'm getting tired, and I have to go to work tomorrow, so I have to wrap this up.

You and your family need to be storing lots and lots of versatile calories. Calories from such foods a whole wheat, white rice, corn, and other grains. Throw in some beans (one pound of rice to half a pound of beans) for a complete protein. Next, you and your family add a daily multivitamin and you have enough calories and nutrients to survive a few months.

If, ... You store enough.
