From the Desk of John Rourke – April 19th, 2017

 

Trump signed the “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order on Tuesday. This order works to reduce the number of guest worker visas and require GOVERNMENT agencies to purchase American-made products and hire Americans – whenever possible.

I have little disagreement with what I have seen so far. Critics state that this goes against capitalism and free market by reducing competition. I would suggest that paying foreign workers pennies on the dollar reduces competition and creates unfair and unrealistic competition.

I just watched a movie called “Good Kill” on Netflix. Thought it was very good. Stars Ethan Hawke who I am not the biggest fan of but he did a great job. The movie is related to remote drone pilots and the moral struggles they endure.

Good Kill, movie, Ethan Hawke, drones, war,

Another radical Muslim kills 3 people yelling “Allahu Akbar” and the act is termed a “random act of violence”.

I don’t think so.

This is another indication of the invasion that is taking place where an incompatible ideological belief system is allowed an attempted co-existence with the rest of civilized society.

It isn’t working.

From the “You Have Got To Be Kidding Me” file – there is now a call to remove the American flag from sporting events.

Holy crap.

There are many reasons why so many love their Kindle and Amazon Fire tablets. One huge advantage is you could literally go years without every buying a book to read as there are tons of free eBooks available. Don’t have a Kindle or Fire? No problem. There are apps that can be installed on most any cell phone or computer for free. No excuses!

NOTE: If you see a free preparedness eBook that you’re interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.
