Prepper News Weekly, Vol. 2

This will be an every Friday morning feature. It will center on the news of the week and may likely cover things I don’t get into here. It should be a load of fun.

I wrote an op-ed this afternoon for Freedom Prepper:

The America Of President Donald J. Trump.

Much the same as this morning’s article minus the maps. If you’re into prepping, please link around there. Good stuff.

I was going to draft up something tonight about what this election meant. This was to be separate from my future thoughts, suggestions, and predictions – those shall come later. Rather I was going to comment to those looking to “leave America” now that Trump is No. 45. I did mention something to that effect at FP. Otherwise I decided against it all.

Social media is buzzing. Some are ecstatic. Some are dejected. Some are indifferent. It is what it is. I would, however, like to make a suggestion for those serious about looking for an alternative country. And, no, I don’t mean terrorists and criminals, frightened at the prospect of being hunted down. Truly, to hell with them. My message is for my left-leaning friends of good and decent character (more than a few).

For those of you concerned that injustice may come from decision, I say: it might. Or it might not. Or things may continue much as they have been. The point is that nobody is out to get you. And intelligent folks still welcome your justified concerns and causes. Different opinions make for a more interesting society anyway.

And, may I suggest a country for you – America. Stay. I have this hope now that Trump actually might try to make some positive difference. Stay and be a part. Help. If it all falls apart or if things keep heading where they’ve been going, then we can work independently to right the ship. Republic, democracy, empire, loosely associated band of crazies – the people will endure. Prosper too, God willing.

With that, I do believe I am done with the GQBM of 2016. Praise be to God, it is over!

Now, I really do have a fitness book to wrap up. Craig, I’m happy to do lunch asap and give my input; I need advice or a forward for the book too.

Goodnight, America.

Uh, I survived my 20-hour Friday. I think. Today will be pretty busy too. As such, there may not be any “substantive” posting here. This one you’re reading is … semi-substantive. Good enough, eh?

You’re probably going to watch college football today. Perrin’s pick of the week is Alabama (1) at Ole Miss (19). In Oxford. Has to be a good game. There are others that should be good games. I’m particularly interested in what may happen in Boone. *BTW, I think the football verdict is in; opinion may be forthcoming. Non-committal prediction department.

If you’re looking for hardcore rambling, may I suggest two strategies. First, the archives. Over to the left in the sidebar is a list of months – from this one back to June, 2012. Click on any one and see what I was gibbering about at any given time. If you have a particular subject in mind, then type that into the search box located in the upper right corner. I’m closing in on 800 or so articles and I cover just about everything under the sun or moon.

Our favorite satellite, Sept. 16, 2016.

In related news I culled through the drafts department. I eliminated a few and set some up for a little work. Great stuff there.

For now I’ll stick with the American election, such as it is. Karen Kwiatkowski wrote a piece about the rising neocon tide of vultures circling the coming Trump Presidency. This is why I’ve been saying (assuming Trump will be the next president) that it will be a disappointment to many. He can’t operate in a vacuum.

If anyone should be strong enough to dismiss the siren calls of the war and money-mongers, it’s Trump. I don’t like the signs honestly. My politico-computer gives him an exact 2% chance of running an independent American administration. (And that’s almost 10 times higher than anyone else’s chances). We’ll see.

And what we may see may not be so pleasant. There is hope though not through politics. I’ll leave you with this nifty Guide to Surviving Civil Unrest. It’s a short from Freedom Prepper written by some crazy man.

Happy Saturday, friends!
