We are eight days away from the 2024 Presidential Selection. The outcome is all but certain. I may stir up a hornets next here, but, if Trump wins the actual impact on the United States may be far from what most think. The country is far from being able to be “turned around” or “saved.” I am a HUGE Trump supporter and certainly hope he gets in office.
Here are a couple thoughts:
- Kamala wins. People go to work the next day and many of us not particularly happy about that will talk about stolen elections and the country continuing to go down the toilet.
- Trump wins. Cities will burn. Riots in the streets. The Left will talk about stolen elections, stacking the Supreme Court, abortion being banned, and bad orange man in the White House and how the country must unite against him.
- Either one wins. The National Debt will continue to streak skyward and the US Dollar will lose value.
We are screwed either way.
Don’t get me wrong. I want Trump to win. I want a change in the American political system to gravitate towards traditional values and governmental shrinkage – including repairing the corruption and financial strife we are experiencing. I just doubt it will happen.
We’ll see.

I’m on Book 8 of the 299 Days series by Glen Tate, one of my all-time favorite book series. I “read” it using the Audible app. Audible books work well for me due to the amount of driving I do. I’ve read 299 Days several times previously, however, this time it reads differently. These times we live in and all the chaotic and frustrating events give the book a different feel.
The feel? Realistic and prophetic.

This raspberry plant was pretty much dead and I chucked it in the woods. Kass grabbed it and was determined to save it – and planted it. I figured as bad as it was it was toast. As you can see a new growth came up. Maine Prepper Girl to the rescue and we have an “extra” fruit-producing raspberry plant!

Silver continues to trend upwards as inflation robs the purchasing power of the USD the vast majority of us are paid with. I continue to work to increase investments in tangibles. I’m expecting a pullback in silver over the next few months that may provide a buying opportunity.
In the meantime funds are going to food storage, tools, fuel, and completing projects around the homestead.

Quality Scan Reprint of Classic Civil Defense Booklet
Instant Digital Download - with 2 Free Bonus Files

During the 1950s, civil defense was a major concern of the United States government. In response, the government launched a nationwide civil defense program that included the building of nuclear fallout shelters, the stockpiling of food and medical supplies, the creation of evacuation plans, and the creation of a nationwide alert system. The federal government also worked to educate the public on how to react to a nuclear attack, including the basics of sheltering in place and responding to radiation.
Citizens across the nation under the threat of nuclear war had one thing on their mind......
Be ready.
This manual was developed by the Office of Civil Defense within the Department of Defense. According to the note inside the manual written by Robert S. McNamara, Secretary of Defense, the goal of the publication is to provide the American people with the facts they need to know about the dangers of a thermonuclear attack and what they can do to protect themselves. He goes on to say that "the factual information in this booklet has been verified by independent scientific authority."
The threat of nuclear conflict is ever present in these modern times. Since the 60's many more countries have developed nuclear weapons including North Korea, Pakistan, India - and likely Iran. While this guide was originally published over 6 decades ago - it remains valid and important today.
Whether you are a historian, a history buff, or simply interested in preparedness this guide is a great read and full of beneficial information.
