As I have gotten older I find myself thinking “If I could go back and do it over again I would have…” – can’t stand it. What a waste of time. I don’t dwell on it like I used to years ago but still – a waste. Now my largest concern is for my kids and trying to guide them through their growing into manhood.

NOTE: If you see a free Kindle book that your interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.

    John, hold that thought about “what would you have done differently”. You will go thru this all again when you get in you late 60’s. It becomes harder not to think about the past and how you could do things differently if you had a chance. We all go thru it.

    Your note on Mexico prompts me to throw this out there also. Have you seen where California is making a move to become a country, Calexit. The vote to do that would happen in 2019.

    My thought; go ahead you bunch of rich Liberals.

    yeah .. NO loss

    Calexit .. fine..
    Turn that wall north and run it up the inside border of Calexit.

    One of the things the systematic emasculation or feminization of young men by liberals.. that has happened .. is many men never learn that their primary role over 30 if not before is to coach and mentor other young men. They never listen to parents as well as they shoudl but they will remember what you teach them. I have some peers I promote to my kids and IF i need a word to go in that is bouncing off.. I arrange for them to do something together. Then it’s like manna from heaven.. I routinely bite the end of my tongue off in that process willingly.

    Proverbs 22:6 KJV – “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

    I read a quote once “the older I get the better I was” Smile.
    I found in my 60s I did a fairly harsh self review of my life-then had to balance it with
    all the good,positive things I had accomplished. As long as we learn from past omissions or mistakes then the time wasnt wasted.All we have is the present moment .
    Trump is really moving along in the right direction !!!! Lightning

      PB –

      Mac Slavo is extremely popular due to him being an alarmist. Similar to Alex Jones he tends to promote “end of the world is coming” based on guesses and somewhat minor incidences. Don’t get me wrong – he provides good information I just think that some of his articles are over the top.

      I am not very familiar with Alt-Right. I used to visit the website several years ago when I deemed it a little more preparedness and less political/world geopolitics. Both have always been there but more recently less preparedness.

      What are your thoughts Patriot Believer?

    I have learned from some wise old codgers that as realization sets in that your time is drawing to a close, you rarely regret the things did. It’s the things you didn’t do that eat at you….

    Sorry JR–had to drive to San Antonio and put in a long day before reply.

    You’re right. Doom predictors that think they know what happens next. There
    ‘s been so many with just as many “it happens like this” predictions.

    Don’t get me wrong–there’s plenty good reason to take prudent steps toward preparing and self sufficiency as best possible. But, I don’t think anyone knows what comes next. So, I do prudent thing as best I can.

    And, I remember who’s in control…

    Psalm 47:8
    God reigns over the nations;
    God sits on his holy throne.

    What’s missing from these articles is who is in control.
