Every week we provide insight on events as they develop and transpire across America. In these unprecedented times, it’s difficult to grasp the complexity of everything that’s going on. We are not a news agency and make no claims to be experts on the topics discussed. What is absolutely certain is we are investing time to research information with a quest for truth using facts, logic, and some common sense thrown in.

COVID-19
The spreading of COVID-19 continues with the number of cases worldwide increasing daily.
Here are the numbers as of July 9th, 2020:
Global Confirmed Cases: 12,169,400
Global Deaths: 552,043
Global Recoveries: 6,696,392
US Deaths: 133,106
US Recoveries: 969,111
US Active Cases: 2,003,098
- The number of new cases is spiking as states nationwide continue to relax quarantine restrictions and open. The number of tests are also increasing as testing becomes more readily available. While a correlation of increased testing may be a reason for increased positives, the increased number of hospitalizations shows the significance of the continued spread.
- Many politicians and medical experts are suggesting to stop the opening of States, or even reverse and begin closing again. Anthony Fauci has suggested States experiencing a significant uptick in cases should seriously consider shutting down.
- Colorado town threatens a 1-year jail sentence for not wearing masks.
- Research suggests that antibodies may only last a matter of months.
Commentary: We’ve all seen what has happened up to this point. There is no indication that this is going away. With Fall right around the corner – this 2nd wave, whatever you want to call it – is only going to get worse. Be ready folks.
PROTESTING/RIOTING/CIVIL UNREST
Protests continue to occur across the nation. Many demand racial justice, the defunding of police, or societal change towards socialism. The removal or destruction of symbols from history continues to be relevant.
- Colorado protestors detained in protests over Columbus statue
- Portland, OR saw protests turn into a riot over the 4th of July weekend. Rioters threw rocks and shot fireworks at government buildings. Police stood by and watched.
- Ford employees asks company to stop manufacturing cars for police use
- 31 people were shot in Atlanta over the 4th of July weekend.
Commentary: Civil unrest has spread across the country mainly in larger cities. Violence in the form of vandalism, assaults, and murder is occurring. Anti-police rhetoric continues and has proven successful in some areas as cities reduce funding. Some in law enforcement have quit their jobs in protest – or called in sick which has now been termed the “Blue Flu”.
A radical Black militia of at least 200 people made a stand in Stone Mountain, Georgia stopping white people and demanded reparations. The rise of radical groups such as this and the continued Antifa presence in most major cities is reason for concern. The rising tensions, and additional “sides” being created – is a powder keg ready to explode.
ECONOMY
The Coronavirus pandemic and it’s effect on the economy continue to be disastrous. While the Fed has relentlessly pumped money into the market to keep stocks from plummeting, millions of Americans have lost their jobs and countless businesses have closed their doors. While many businesses have begun to reopen, they are largely doing so with part-time help, part-time hours, and part-time capacity of establishments.
- US Town Creates Their Own Currency
- Grim Job Losses as COVID Cases Climb
- American Companies File Bankruptcy at Relentless Pace
- The Strangest Recession in History
- US Economy Hasn’t Experienced Anything Like This Since the Great Depression
Commentary: Millions out of work, tens of thousands of businesses closed, civil unrest in cities across America – and a virus that hangs around like Cousin Eddy in Christmas Vacation. The economy is in serious trouble and with the threat of a second wave of closures – the likelihood of an economic collapse grows.
These are times like no other. There are many signs of things to come and for many, the question is not what is going to happen but when.

Can’t add much to your commentary Rourke. Like many who visit this site and others like it I’ve spent considerable time and effort preparing for ‘something’. Though a half dozen nightmarish scenarios of what might come were always present in my mind, this wasn’t one of them.
In my daily travels I can see the frustration, bewilderment, worry and yes anger in people’s faces. I observe it with a sense of disbelief. This country it seems is now being torn apart, purposely so, by the powers that be. There is a storm coming….
I would say the storm is upon us, it appears to be the leading edge sadly.
Yes it would seem so.
CDC website states common cold may result in positive antibody test.

This would increase case numbers with false positives.
NYPD has had 682 resignations / retirements since the end of May, and are limiting retirement processing to 35 or 40 per day by appt -onlyhttps://nypost.com/2020/07/08/nypd-limits-retirement-applications-amid-411-surge-this-week/
Out of the mouth of my seven year old ” life sucks mom , when is this all going to stop”. With no immediate end in sight. We prep, we organise, we clean , we bake, we smile at the little things and importantly we keep our community and tight .
Izzy – a big hug to you and your seven year old. Sounds like you are doing an exc. job during these difficult times. Arlene
Even with cases in the U.S. spiking upwards, there is a downward trend of deaths related to Covid-19. So, even though we are detecting more cases, it not as deadly as it was just a few months ago in the U.S..
The economic impact and the political impact worry me more than the virus. The democrats are using this crises as a stepping stone to re-taking the White House and Senate. So, keep prepping and God help us all if that happens!!!
Is the virus real? Well, yes but it’s a nothing burger for the vast majority of people. If you are advanced in age or have some maladies you should take precautions but even those folks are safe if they would just have ionic / colloidal silver and a nebulizer on hand. This is a political virus and it’s being used as a tool to destroy the greatest nation God ever brought fourth. Beans, bullets, and bullion.
Rourke, great message, and I would like to see the term “terrorist” rather than protester from now on. Too long have we been shackled by letting the left control the narrative by using their language. Honesty about what is what and who is who. Daily they project their sins upon us that they themselves commit. Enough. The fight is here and if we do not resist, all is lost.
Yes Rourke- I watched the interrogation that the Black militia was putting average
white visitors under. Glad the Ga. Gov. called upon 1,000 National Guard to assist.
I want to see the Black Militia called terrorists. Imagine if a bunch of white folks ever tried that. Arlene
