John Schneider, aka Bo Duke from the tv series Dukes of Hazard, comments on the 2020 Presential Election. Calm response using logic and commonsense. One disagreement I’ll have with John is his opinion that we should just wait. Protesting is as American as apple pie. If I get my chance I will voice… Continue reading Video: Patience Grasshopper

Concerns Run High Over Tomahawk Strike in Syria
I felt the need to further comment on the rapidly changing events involving chemical weapons, Syria, the United States – and Russia. There is a lot of information being put out there and much of it is not based in fact. Assumptions are being made, news stories from years ago mentioned as if they… Continue reading Concerns Run High Over Tomahawk Strike in Syria
President Donald Trump Inauguration Speech
In case you missed it here is President Trumps speech he made after being sworn in. I found it to be uplifting and just what I was hoping he would say. Confident. Inspiring, Positive. Non-politically correct. Here you go…..

Inauguration Day. I pray that Trump is able to effectively institute a good percentage of his policies and prove the naysayers wrong. No doubt this is a pivotal time in history. Time will tell the true tale of his success and failure. I’ll tell you one thing – I am loving the sound of “former”… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – January 20th, 2017

Finished my first stippling job. I was exceedingly detailed and it turned out great. I would estimate about 2 hours on this one PMAG. Worth it? Sure. The level of gripping surface is greatly enhanced. Will I do all my mag’s? Nope. Too time consuming however I am experimenting with different patterns that take less… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – January 17th, 2017

Still working on my New Year Resolutions/2017 Goals and Objectives – take your pick on terminology. Considering not just the next year but the next 10 years. Can’t explain it but life is at a pivotal point. Maybe it is my age – not sure. Regardless putting more effort in this year than the… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – December 20th, 2016
The Demise of the Preparedness Movement
It is being reported all over the Internet and I have have heard it from preparedness industry leaders: The Preparedness Movement is becoming a thing of the past. Much like the survivalist movement in the late 80’s the preparedness movement changing – with former followers exiting. “Why?” you ask…… Trump. Yes- Donald Trump’s election to… Continue reading The Demise of the Preparedness Movement

The shock from the election is still with me. I took Wednesday off as I expected Hillary to win and with that knowledge I wanted to reflect on what it all would mean. I really didn’t know what to do with myself other than watch the news and take it all in. Reading the comments… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – November 10th, 2016
America Wins!!!
I had quite a different post scheduled to publish this morning – and I will gladly delete it and admit that I have been wrong for months. Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States by the American people – and it wasn’t even close. I pray that America can be united to… Continue reading America Wins!!!
Prep’s This Week
NOTE: Well folks I just realized this never posted Sunday – so here it is on Tuesday. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Really did not get anything done preparedness-wise this past week. Hey – it happens. Goals are still there and will pick up where I left off this week and drive forward. NOTE: Hillary’s case is… Continue reading Prep’s This Week
Final nail in the coffin
With the latest insanity surrounding the 2016 Presidential election it’s over for Trump. Not that he was any miraculous savior but I was at least hoping his election to the White House would have bought us more time. President Hillary Clinton is all but assured. The outrage over Trumps lewd comments is justified however let’s… Continue reading Final nail in the coffin
Rourke on Trump
Rourke: The following is a slightly edited and expanded version of a comment response I wrote up a few days ago. Figured I would share with everyone. Trump is NOT a politician and is no different today than 30 years ago. He says things like most of us do – no political correctness and… Continue reading Rourke on Trump
