From the Desk of John Rourke – October 28th, 2024

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.

299 Days, War, book 8, audible, prepper fiction, series,

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.
