Something I’ve noticed for some time is there are so many “experts” on the Internet. Many of these experts have absolutely different opinions on something yet both stage with 100% certainty they are correct and if you think differently, well, you’re an idiot.
One very recent example is related to Trump. President Trump has been in office a short time, and I have already seen many supporters being extremely critical of his moves and stating that they no longer believe in him. It used to be that perfection was not expected of a President – or anyone else. Today it appears that 100% compliance to each individual’s belief system in order to retain support. Trump’s recent moves towards the development of AI and potentially mRNA vaccines have many of his supporters doing backflips. Questioning and suspicion are healthy, however, what I’m seeing is ridiculous.
Another example is related to canning. In numerous canning groups I belong to members are constantly fighting over how long to water bath something, what can be canned and what can’t be, what canning method can be used, and whether to put rings on or not. These can all be healthy discussions, but, that is not what’s happening. These folks are vile, and angry, and state with 100% certainty they are correct and the others are wrong.
It’s nuts.
This is a symptom of a society that has become infected with low morale, low self-esteem, and a lot of stress. People reach out to put others down often in an effort to make themselves feel good. By putting themselves in a situation where they feel superior over someone else they in turn feel elevated and receive a temporary boost in self-esteem.
I only see this getting worse, but, I hope I’m wrong. Wrong? Can’t happen….LOL.
Take care all –

Fallout Protection - What To Know And Do About Nuclear Attack
Quality Scan Reprint of Classic Civil Defense Booklet
Instant Digital Download - with 2 Free Bonus Files
Fully Printable PDF Format
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.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!
Judge not less Ye be judged.
It’s a struggle not to judge some of these people….LOL.
“I belong to members are constantly fighting over how long to water bath something,”
The professional stays out of the fray. Just listen and use which every methods that give you the best (in this case safest) results. Who is right or wrong should not concern you. Their behavior….maybe if it goes too far. not the actual topic of disagreement.
Just stay out of it.
Good advice MLK. Appreciate your being upfront and saying it like it is.
A lot of this could be cured, if the American People actually knew American History, or had any reading comprehension skills at all! They also seem to have the attention span of a gnat and refuse to read an entire article or explanation before jumping to conclusions. The AI folks made a mistake when they called it an MRNA vaccine and folks failed to listen to the full explanation. They should have said Cancer therapy, similar to radiation or chemo therapy. They have no plans to run around the World injecting every living Person with it. It is also very entertaining to watch the so called “experts” on one topic, immediately shift to being “experts” on a completely separate topic. None of whom have actually done any research on either. I do laugh a lot these days, and sometimes bang My head on My desk.
Yup – there’s got to be a lot of head banging going on. Good points on calling the cancer treatment/therapy something else. They should have known what the response would be.
Regarding AI – I plan to do a video and polish it here soon. It’s not going away, so, we should use it to our advantage.
Over the years I made myself comfortable with people with no experience or training telling me how wrong->stupid I am. Here I sit, well feed, warm, and financially secure where most of those critics are not.
I listen to what others say, then evaluate if it makes sense for me/us, then act accordingly. I’m not always right, but I’m comfortable with my decisions.
Love the way you put all of that.Very similar to how I handle things now and look at situations.
so many people in this world now are in a bad place because of their own laziness and sense of entitlement, they sit on their couches all day long doing nothing and IF they work, they only do enough to get a paycheck, wondering why they were passed over for that promotion, and wondering why they they don’t have as much as their hard working neighbor. the only way that they that they can feel better about themselves is to put others down around them, ya know like a drowning person pushing you under to save themselves.
i will turn them loose, swim away and let them sink.
i have helped very many people over the years but there were some that i realized were just bums and i turned them loose to sink or swim on their own.
i do not feel sorry for people like that.
I get it Geezer. I really do. Something I have believed for some time when considering “blame” for how society, government, etc. have gotten to where they are is that many good people have been fooled by a massive campaign that has manipulated from the moment of entrance to school to the churches to every aspect of our lives. I struggle to place 100% blame on those who failed to realize what was happening all around them. Maybe they are victims rather than the criminals.
It’s tough and at this point it really doesn’t matter. We are where we are.
A culture of divide and conquer have been effectively been instilled into people and if they don’t learn to discuss things and situations and come to an agreement no matter what Trump does it won’t succeed and the country will decline even further.
Agree JohnP. I hate to say it and one of my buddies constantly criticizes me for not having “hope.” I have hope for American and the ability to get back to what the Founders established, however, I simply do not see it happening through peaceful means.
