From the Desk of John Rourke – August 14th, 2019

 

Note: Every so often I’ll throw out some random thoughts on a variety of topics. This comes “From the Desk” of John Rourke.

 

Last week was a long stressful one at work. Trying to relax this past weekend and will be traveling this upcoming one. I’ve purposely NOT watched the news, however, can’t help but hear all the talk on gun control.

The Left spouting antigun dribble is nothing new especially after some psychopath goes on a killing spree. With Democrat candidates for President calling for gun bans and confiscation this would have been a perfect time for politicians on the Right to promote the Constitution, gun rights, and destroy Liberal arguments with facts and logic. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. President Trump openly backed Red Flag laws and universal background checks.

Pathetic.

Even newcomer and Conservative favorite Dan Crenshaw has backed Red Flag laws.

If Trump backs any successful gun control legislation or laws via Executive Action his bid for 2020 will be an effort in futility.

Food. You hear that word and it likely conjures up visions of frustration from those trying to lose weight or images or a favorite meal(steak on the grill with squash and corn on the cob. Food storage is simply not sexy. If it was there would be magazine covers galore filled with images of canned freeze dried food and hard red winter wheat. Yeah – rice would be there too.

So – preppers frequently go out there and stock up on all the guns and ammo they can afford without giving food its due diligence.

If you have two AR’s, tons of magazines and a few thousand rounds of ammo – and a months worth of food:  you’re guilty.

Welcome to the club. 😉

What happened with the “Epstein suicide” is more obvious than running out of gas out in the country with the head cheerleader in your car.

The national debt continues its aggressive path upwards as we approach 23 trillion dollars. The government continues to spend money it doesn’t have. We are past the point of no return and the debt clock will NEVER tick backward.  It is only a matter of time that the massive debt and printing of money creates heightened inflation and devaluing of currency.

Like with several other scenarios looming over us – the time to prepare is NOW.

Hope everyone is having a good week!
