  1. Valuable info people need to know.

    On the other hand…If the deranged cackling hyena successfully cheats to win you’ll need to ask Haitians how to cook dogs, cats, bugs, tree bark, shoes, etc.🤮

    VOTE TRUMP/VANCE 2024!😊😊😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

        • Daffy Duck.
          It was a toss up between Porky Pig but Daffy won the coin toss.
          And guess what, nothing will change, the poor will get poorer the rich will get richer and politicians will play their games and make promises. And I ask,
          if one party is so much better then the other why is there a pole change every other election or so?
          Could it be the promises never come to fruition?
          The power really doesn’t lay with the president anyway, he/she, are just figure heads.
          Biden proved this country doesn’t really need a president.
          Keep voting though, its comforting to think We the People can make a change.
          Your guy is good, my guy is bad, in reality they are both ugly.

          • Bullshit.

            Over the last 100 years, guns have steadily gotten harder for the law-abiding to get and keep. Health care and medications have gotten harder and more expensive to obtain for the financially self-sufficient. Homesteads have gotten more expensive and harder to keep. The self-employed have bigger and bigger targets on their backs, and job opportunities for cops, lawyers and accountants ever more diverse.

            Keep voting Democrat, and it will keep happening.

            Republicans won’t confiscate your pet squirrel, but Democrats will raid your home, take it away and kill it.

            Keep voting Democrat, it will get worse.

            • So when when a Democrat gets elected its because the majority of the population wanted to make their lives harder?
              If everything is sugar and spice with a Republican why does a Democrat get elected.
              I’m beginning to doubt if our elections for congressmen are not rigged.
              The presidential election certainly is, and like you said it has been for 100 years.
              What happened.
              We the People became dependent on a government, from the water we drink to the food we eat( majority of the population) to the vehicles we drive to work and the permission e got from a government that let’s us drive ithem and the roads we drive them on.
              All provided by a government.
              So now that we need a government and it doesn’t need us it can play its games.
              The Power to Control.

              • Govt don’t give me shit. Just saying. Nor do l get my narrative from oh-whats-the-use trolls. Nor did I say national elections have been rigged for 100 years. Clean water and good roads are a natural and efficient use of govt. Free food for the infirm has been a feature of the Republic since Day 1.

                Democrats are sometimes the best option for local office. Two locally have my vote. On the national level, they are the equivalent of suicide for self-sufficient citizens. And as various filthy rich neo-marxist trolls gain ever more control of that party, ditto the state level.

                I urge the general readership, if any, to listen to recordings of Lord Hawhaw, Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose. Read brief biographies of Beria, Lysenko, and Mao. It will create perspective…

              • dduly slept thru civics, spends time whining at the local watering hole, involved in nothing. pathetic useless.

              • Moderated once, 2nd try –

              • “Democrats are sometimes the best option for local office.”

                Dems can no longer be trusted for ANY public office. They end up doing their best to groom children for future abuse, and to turn children into reliable Dem activists. Then there’s the issue of local crime, 2A, and immigration policies.

                If your local elections include “non-partisan or independent” elections, check with your local Republican group to see who they recommend. If the current Republican politician isn’t great, then work on the primary vote NEXT TIME to replace him. Both parties are being remade. The current Democrat party is the face of evil. That doesn’t mean that the current Republican party is the face of good, but at least we’re working on it.

      • One of my neighbors placed $500 on Harris to win during a recent casino visit, so he would at least get SOMETHING out of it if she does.

        He’d much rather lose that bet, because a Trump win has a much better payout for him and the country as a whole, but he suspects the leftists have some failsafes in place.

  2. Survival. One popular theory is that you need food to survive. To that end, we’ve done a lot of canning, but the shelf-for canning, and the portability of canned products is limited. So, today, we are freeze-drying our first batch of food. Apples because Azure had big boxes of organic apples on the ‘cheap’. We will try meats and veggies, also. Mylar bags…oxygen absorber…meals ready to eat.

    • Food and water.
      I read somewhere how to decomtaminate radioactive water, can’t remember how, wasn’t complicated and I’m sure it would be 100% safe(Not).
      Noah built an Arc but on this next go around I don’t think a big boat is going to do much good.
      I do have a can of Spam though, just in case.

    • All life, from cockroaches to people, has 4 fundamental imperatives that are hardwired into them. Eat, Sleep, Defecate, Procreate. If you don’t do all of the first 3 you die. The 4th is optional at the individual level, but mandatory for species survival. Everything else exists to support those 4 imperatives.

      • but for survival against extinction all mammal species have the four ‘F’ as imperatives.. Fight, Flight, Feed, Fornicate

    • You funny Gunny. I always dig your posts. You were right about the ruger LC 45 carbine too, i love it. Very accurate too, i rarely miss with that thing. Ive had a ball with it the 3 or 4 times ive taken it out

  3. Gosh, I watched episode 1 and really didn’t get much out of it.
    Must be nice to come back from Iraq with all your body parts still attached.
    My son wasn’t so lucky.
    He survived “their war” but couldn’t survive his own.

  4. BREAKING: Voter assaulted by poll workers for hat with no campaign affiliation on it.
