While these memes and videos are pretty funny it is a serious concern when the media is so slanted to one side that they not only drive public opinion away from the truth but also provide free reign for the government to distance itself from the Constitution with no accountability.

While Donald Trump Jr. can meet with a Russian lawyer and receive the full force of the MSM, Hillary Clinton can keep top secret information on an insecure server and delete thousands of emails, destroy hard drives and cell phones – and get a pass.

This country is divided to the point that the words “2nd Civil War” are being uttered more and more frequently.

Personally, I do not see a positive end to the hate, the violence, and the division.

Illinois increase the state income tax by 31%. This additional revenue will still not solve their socialist spending issues. Illinois is merely an indication of things to come for the entire country if this deficit spending is not brought under control.

This week I’m publishing videos all week. Time has been tight and I’ve been dealing with some writer’s block. It happens.

    “Illinois increase the state income tax by 31%.” If President Trump flip’s on the climate accord, which there are indicators he will, the bill to the US will be astronomical. Not only will we see our energy cost skyrocket, but the funding burden will be in the trillions …straight from our defunct treasury. We can’t afford to pay the national debt. How in the world will we be able to pay into the Paris Accords if Trump flip flops???

      Good question Oren. Hopefully he will not flip on it. I have not heard figures as you have stated but I know it would just add to the debt – which seems impossible to ever pay off.

    What’s your take on SouthernPrepper1’s latest video where obviously some group totally pissed him off with what they were doing to the point he had to make a video about it? This blog post https://masondixontactical.wordpress.com/2017/07/16/commentary-on-a-good-southern-prepper-1-video-about-training/ the authors post is how I’ve always been taught as a ‘old school survivalist’. I don’t know where or when it changed into prepper groups acting like a militias or a organized combat arms group. Every group does need to learn basic tactics for defense, patrolling (mostly recon patrols) and even convoy tactics but other than that with the physical shape and lack of training 98% of preppers today have trying to do offensive operations is just a total fantasy.

      I agree jh. I’m going to have to share my opinion on his video later. I read MDL’s post and it was good- very good.

      I’ll write from the perspective of the untrained/non-military prepper as that is what I am. Although I have taken several firearm classes it is not the same as true experience. The unfortunate thing and I think David is touching on this is most prepper’s fail to understand that.

    Don’t let it all over whelm you brother. Surely, the weight your carrying is starting to burden you? No hype, no motivational speech…just gonna share from the heart brother. Hope this helps.

    Matthew 11:28-30
    28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
