Call them what you will…disasters, events, apocalypses, crises, whatever…..but they come in two temporal flavors: the fast and the slow. The fast ones are easy to recognize – an earthquake, tsunami, explosion, martial law, riot, etc, etc. Its basically going from zero-to-MadMax in the span of a few moments. The slow ones are things like what we’re experiencing now….every day the water gets a bit warmer and you don’t notice it until the day it becomes a rolling boil. And by then….well, I hope you had your gear stashed and your plans made….because, brother, it’s too late now.
Gas prices are still absurd, inflation is uncontrolled, politicians of both stripes are warning of politically motivated violence, crime seems to be increasing, the housing markets are fomenting cries for socialist policies, taxes are going up, and who knows what the international situation will be adding to the mix. Interesting time to be alive, isn’t it?
Eventually all of this will be a memory…inflation will drop back to its ‘optimal’ level of 2%, the housing market will calm down, politics will return to something you can talk about without it devolving into a knife fight, and your average Joe won’t feel like a trip through the WalMart parking lot is like taking a stroll through Fallujah.
The big question, of course, is what will the medicine look like that finally cures this ailment? Chemotherapy kicks cancer’s butt but it darn near kills you in the process. Will the fix for these things be almost as bad as those things themselves? I mean, Mussolini made the trains run on time, and Hitler built the autobahn…but look at the cost.
I have no idea what its going to take to change the current situation. But I am fairly confident that I know what it will not take…it will not take out-of-touch leftists whose solution to inflation and crime is “Green Deals” and “inclusive” pronouns.
Next week’s elections should be telling. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m gonna go on a limb and guess that the major issues on the minds of your average voter are inflation and gas prices. I’m of the opinion that most people, fundamentally, look out for Numbah One and that means that when chicken jumps 70% in a year they will vote on the economy and their pocketbook, not on transgendered bathrooms and carbon neutrality.
No two ways about it, these are weird times. So far, I’ve been able to deal with inflation, scarcity, crime, and pandemic simply because I’ve been preparing for stuff like this for the last thirty years. Food prices up? I’ve enough stockpiled food to help defray the high costs. Housing is expensive? Good thing the house is paid. Crime is up? Dude….not even gonna worry about it. Pandemic? Happily unvaccinated and still healthy as a horse. But you and me, we’re the exceptions. And, unfortunately, it isn’t the exceptions that decide the outcome of elections, but rather the general populace… the general unprepared populace.
So, long story short, make sure to vote next week, and make sure to grab some friends and drag them to the polls and make sure they vote. Then go back to your bunker and keep working on your readiness, ’cause one way or the other this nonsense is still far from being done.
I think you might be off slightly about transgender ideology. Parents are fired up about this garbage in schools and will punish the left over it.
Geez, I sure hope you’re right that things will eventually calm down. It’s kind of difficult to see that happening with all the turmoil right now.
A limited nuclear exchange among major population centers will cure most of this.
“’cause one way or the other this nonsense is still far from being done”
Hell, it won’t even start until Wednesday
Barring the kind of election theft we saw in 2020 next Tuesday we will have the opportunity to take out the trash. From what I’m seeing and as previously stated election theft this is going to be much worse then the left is letting on. They are in uber panic mode. I won’t make predictions here but the losses in the House of Representatives will be massive. The Senate? A lot depends on the Chinese poodle and his interference. As I’ve said before. The Turtle has the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. As happened in 2012 and 2018. Just to name two. The more Conservatives we elect the chance increases that McConnell will be sent packing. McCarthy isn’t any prize either. I’d rather have solid Conservative leadership in both Chambers and sweep the last of the Country Club Republicans out the door. Their day is long past.
Feels like we are living thru first couple of chapters of Rawles book The Patriots
We are.
I agree, Redbull. The start of “The Patriots” or the start of WWIII.
Life imitates art. History is full of events like what we are going through. The closest analogy would be the 1930s. Except it appears that nobody really wants to let things get out of hand.
The Liberal World Order has a plan. But that plan won’t be carried out. The people of Europe have already had it with the European Union. A sham from the start. Built on lies and rigged elections. So far Italy defied the warnings from Herr Swab and elected a very Conservative women to lead that country. Hungry under Orban has been giving the double middle digits to these idiots for years.
Liz Truss was forced out because she would not go along with the New Nazi World Order. She wanted tax cuts. Removed the ban on fracking and was going to restart coal fired electric plants to keep the British people warm during the winter. Unfortunately none of that works for the NWO types. They intend by whatever means necessary to reduce the population of the earth to what these geniuses believe is a sustainable level by THEIR reconning. 5 million is the number these loser assholes have decided is just right. Enough to do the work to feed these ignorant lazy bastards.
Well. It isn’t going to work. These boys have invested pretty heavily in idiots like Trudi Castro Jr in Canada. Not the smartest or the best they have. And other idiots like the ex-con they stole an election for in Brazil and several other glittering jewels of colossal stupidity to quote the late El Rushbo. Our own Crash Test Dummy of the United States. This guy is a real fricking prize. He has the IQ of a pencil eraser. And there are others. But like green energy which is total horse shit and won’t work. Anybody bought a Flanders Electric sedan lately. Nope. Those were tried in the early 20th century. Touted as having cross country ability. Not so much. Same crap your hearing about the new electrics. Several cities banned the damn things because people couldn’t hear them coming and got hit trying to cross traffic. Same as today.
Idiots then. And now.
Bibi Netanyahu was reelected in Israel and will be back in power soon. Tuesday we start kicking in the doors of the Zombie land apocalypse managed by a dumber version of the GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ.
Yes. The end is nigh. FOR THEM. Not the freedom loving hard working folks who make this country not only great but work. Which is more then you can say about the majority of the bottom feeders in empty suits in the Dysfunctional Cesspool.
Tuesday we start again to reclaim our FREEDOM!
No matter who wins on Tuesday, our Oligarchy is saved.
That is 100% correct! Money always looks after itself.
