The Debate

The long-awaited first debate between President Trump and Joe Biden finally happened. Approx 90 minutes in length, there were no real surprises.

The Grand Jury in Lousiville, KY handed down their decisions in the Breonna Taylor shooting several months ago.

Preparing for the Fallout of November 3rd(PART #1)

For over 30 years I’ve been involved in survival and preparedness. Over all of this time, the world has ended at least a half-dozen times, or at least it was predicted to.

Is NOW The Time To Be Going Gray?

Is now the time to be going gray

I’m beginning to see a mere glimmer of change. In areas across the country, there are people that are standing up for their rights and will not bow down to Antifa, BLM, and the like. They are ignoring the MSM’s claims of social morality. I’m seeing more stories of people defending themselves and their property.… Continue reading Is NOW The Time To Be Going Gray?

On Civil War 2.0

Recently had a good friend on FB say the following: “Isn’t it strange that Civil War 2.0 will be fought by Republicans vs Democrats again?” My response(I largely agree with him): I think there are other sides and facets to CW 2.0. You have groups that hate both those that are far Left – Middle… Continue reading On Civil War 2.0

The Left’s Cheating Ways Uncovered Again

The following video was recorded after Democrat candidate for President Joe Hiden conducted a press conference in Kenosha. During the event, a young woman came up to speak and then stated that she was given a document which she was supposed to read off of.

From the Desk of John Rourke – September 5th, 2020

I know from talking to many like-minded folks, especially those from northern states, it is this time of year they start experiencing “the feeling”. This feeling is related to preparing for the upcoming winter weather that can be so problematic in some areas. While I currently live in South Carolina, I grew up in New… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – September 5th, 2020

STATUS REPORT: Increased Violence and Civil Unrest Leave Many Thinking, “Civil War”

Outlook for Civil Unrest

Protesting and exercising 1st Amendment rights is as American as apple pie. The looting, rioting, and destruction taking place in areas across the country is not protesting – it’s anarchy. While there is no shortage of jokes going around about how these rioters come from their “mommies basement” and can be disbanded by throwing job… Continue reading Outlook for Civil Unrest
