from Paul T. Martin. TLDR:
Stop doom scrolling. Exercise instead. Learn some skills. Check your gear. Get your HVAC serviced for the winter. Get your vehicle serviced for winter, too. Inventory your supplies.
Put the work in now, while there’s time and ample supplies available.
This all sounds so familiar. It’s almost like I said all these things at the time. Oh wait, I did. To all those who unfriended me, called me names and made fun of me…you can apologize at any time. Though I won’t be holding my breath.
Here’s the link to the actual report; the link in the image doesn’t work.
Here’s a link to a great article from Von Stubben Training on how to build out a rifleman’s kit on a reasonable budget. One could quibble with the order or various choices, but overall, it’s an excellent primer. Would recommend.
Go read this article to learn what’s really going on with the people of Western North Carolina.
Finally a couple of folks with clipboards and FEMA jackets arrive. They won’t give you emergency housing because they’ve deemed your property to be “on a flood plain.” They talk about helping you relocate but you’re not interested. This land is all you have left. You will figure something else out.
Then, two days later more officials show up. They are from the Department of Social Services. They tell you that the camp you’ve created out of the few things you have left is not suitable for children to live there and that unless you find suitable shelter, your kids will be going into foster care.
A few days after that, the DSS people show up, and they’re escorted by an armed law enforcement officer. They won’t be swayed by screams, entreaties, threats, or tears. Your children are gone, and you’re given a business card with a phone number to call to find out where they are.
Yes, Orange Man won the selection. No, you can’t relax and go back to watching sportsyball. We are in possibly the most dangerous times of our lives. Don’t believe me?
UPDATE: Here’s a little more information. The TBI director sounds like typical law enforcement. They know there is a real problem, but they’re not going to solve it because, well, reasons. The gang members are dangerous and don’t respect police, so, “officer safety.” You are on your own, the police won’t be coming to save you when gangs attack Cookeville.
Here are a few tidbits for you.
I highlighted the pertinent sentences. You can see this for yourselves at this link. Remember, these are VAERS reports, which the government has acknowledged only captures 1-10% of the actual adverse reactions. In summary, nearly 80% of the young children were vaccinated the day they died, but that doesn’t raise any “concerning patterns.” Now, if the conclusion is true, WE must conclude that the vaccines are working as intended. Now, why would our nation’s health officials not be concerned about this?
Killing people is big business. BIG business.
There’s no bias in government. Really. None.

An official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency was “removed from their role” and is under investigation after the Daily Wire obtained a leaked internal message in which they ordered workers to bypass the homes of Trump supporters as they surveyed the damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida.
Whitney sums it up nicely. Since this was posted, Pompeo seems to be out. That’s good. However, Trump appointed Suzie Wiles, a former big-pharma lobbyist, as his chief of staff. Trump also picked a Jewish billionaire to lead his transition team. We’ll see…
I’ve been warning about this for a bit now. If your stocks of ammo don’t number into the 4 figures, it’s a good time to stock up. Based on what I’m seeing, 2025 is going to be a repeat of 2020. Only with more sporkiness. –Mike
A gunpowder shortage is here, but it hasn’t affected the supply of popular ammo like 9mm and 5.56 NATO, yet. There is still plenty of popular ammo on dealers’ shelves both in brick-and-mortar retail stores and online. But the gunpowder shortage is here and coming at us like a slow-moving hurricane. We know it is coming, just not sure when it will hit.
The problem when covering news like a gunpowder shortage is that it is almost a self-fulfilling prophecy causing a run on ammo supplies. I tend to be skeptical and not cynical, but I am suspicious. I have no crystal ball, but I do know people in the ammunition making and selling industries. Is it a grand marketing scheme to sell ammo? Or is it real? From those I’ve spoken to, the shortage is real, but it is not all gloom and doom. Some call it a typical manufacturing cycle. Others call it economics 101 and a simple case of supply and demand. There are other added factors, too, like a war in Europe and conflict in the Middle East, that play into the shortage.
It’s called the FUD factor: Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. We have had a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt in past years. Good reasons to buy ammo. Lots of ammo. The mere hint of a lack of supply causes a run on products. It’s a vicious circle.

Whoever is inaugurated in January will become the nominal head of a failing government. It is buried under promises it can’t keep and debasing its currency to devalue its debt. Well over half the people it governs despise it. Its confederated empire falters as much of the world rejects its hypocritical “rules-based order.” The military is incompetent and dangerous; a war-making operation that showers defense contractors, politicians, bureaucrats, and revolving-door brass with trillions of dollars.
At home, no significant facet of life remains untouched by the incompetent and corrupt hand of government. The ruled are legally responsible for following hundreds of thousands of laws and regulations that the rulers violate with impunity. Trillions are showered on those who produce nothing, and those from whom the trillions are stolen are presented with a protection racket: pay or else. Millions of the former have been invited into the country; the latter foot that bill, too.
