Love this painting – called The Forgotten Man.

jm102_the-forgotten-man

“Against the background of a darkening sky, all of the past Presidents of the United States gather before the White House, as if to commemorate some great event. In the left hand corner of the painting sits a man. That man, with his head bowed appears distraught and hopeless as he contemplates his future. Some of the past Presidents try to console him while looking in the direction of the modern Presidents as if to say, “What have you done?” Many of these modern Presidents, seemingly oblivious to anything other than themselves, appear to be congratulating each other on their great accomplishments. In front of the man, paper trash is blowing in the wind. Crumpled dollar bills, legislative documents, and, like a whisper—the U.S. Constitution beneath the foot of Barack Obama.”

Heard of high schoolers I believe in Florida who walked off school grounds in protest over the results of the election.

Pathetic.

With Christmas coming keep in mind that white LED Christmas lights are a great way to light up areas and use very little juice. Perfect to use with an inverter and a battery or two. Even non-LED’s work well.

Popular YouTube personality and friend SoutherPrepper1 is under the threat of wildfires here in South Carolina. I would appreciate any prayers offered in his behalf as well as all being threatened.

    Wow, feel honored to be selected. Really liked the flashlight and thought I might get one, now I have. Thanks Rourke! Excited to get it and try it out.
    Will certainly pray for Southern Prepper 1 and all who are in harm’s way. Such a helpless feeling. LED lights great idea. Will pick some up this weekend.

    John,
    Did you see this earlier this morning from the Tea Party?

    ” Internet giants proposed new regulations to crack down on content this week.

    A far left Massachusetts professor has compiled a list of “fake and misleading” news websites.

    Here is the list—  Notice the prominent conservative websites on the list, including: Breitbart, Infowars, Twitchy, The Blaze, Bizpac Review, The Daily Sheeple, the Drudge Report, World News Daily Report (WND), etc”

    The list is really long. Just about every news site a prepper would go to. Obviously, the liberals are attempting to silence the opposition. So, the censorship begins. Hope Trump is watching.

    Rourke-thanks for sharing that powerful picture- now with Trump and prayers and our constant pressure to our representatives we can still save America and make her great again.
    Southern Prepper and all those in the path of those needless wildfires(that were set by some lunatic) -you have our prayers.
    Single Mom- I understand your tears-shows how deeply you care.

    Rourke and everyone -PLEASE READ
    A friend sent me this true story. A young man was shopping and wearing a cross.
    The checkup clerk (who was Muslim and wearing a head covering) asked him to please hide his cross under his shirt because it “OFFENDED” her. He refused. She insisted and called the manager over who asked him to hide the cross.He said no.
    Why dont you remove your head dressing that offends me. She refused. The young man, a teenager,then left his merchandise on the counter and walked out.Others in line who heard this conversation walked out also.
    Wean all need to wear a symbol of our faith and to be bold and strong.How dare she
    or anyone come to our America and say she is offended.
    With the Christmas- Hannukah season approaching lets make sure we shop
    where CHRISTMAS is advertised not holiday-every dollar spent is a signal that we will not put up with being disrespected.
