With clockwork predictability, the hard-left Biden Cabal is currently mobilizing its forces to resurrect the narrative of hate and rancor that appalled every decent American barely two weeks ago when Ol’ Joe delivered a venomous and deliberately divisive speech in Philadelphia, attacking his political opposition, Real America. The goal was to marginalize, intimidate, and silence those who refuse to accept the Biden Cabal as “legitimate,” after watching the flagrant election theft of November 2020, followed ever since by the counterfeit “presidency” of a near babbling sock puppet, in the person of Joe Biden.
Their scam didn’t work. The American people immediately reacted to the speech with outrage and resolve, which they widely expressed, with condemnation of efforts to denigrate worthy political opposition to the onslaught of the Biden Cabal, and its consistently disastrous policy decisions. Clearly, the agenda of this illicit administration is not in the best interests of America. Rather, as was the case during the Obama years, an effort is underway to inflict as much harm as possible on the Nation. Nothing else could explain the nightmarish manner in which our Country has been “fundamentally transformed” from its flourishing and free condition, prior to the curiously timed “pandemic” hysteria and “racial” chaos of the 2020 election cycle.
So immediately indignant and vocal were Americans in the wake of the Biden speech that Ol’ Joe was sent out to do a “mea culpa” the very next morning. With typical detachment from reality, he proceeded to deny the things he said, and which the entire Nation witnessed, only hours prior. Attempting to characterize decent citizens of this Country as “a threat to democracy,” unless they acquiesce to the leftist/Democrat version of the stolen 2020 election as “the most secure election in history,” the goal of the Biden Cabal was clearly to threaten and intimidate real Patriots into silence. In the short term at least, this effort failed miserably.
Nevertheless, the black eye which the Biden Cabal delivered to itself does not, by any means, represent “game, set, and match.” Leftists do not stand down, and their dirty tricks do not end, simply because they are called out for their despicable actions. One would have to possess a reasonable conscience and a sense of shame to back off at that point. Neither quality is compatible with leftist ideology. And the sooner our side recognizes this ugly reality, the better equipped we will be to properly engage and confront the leftist monster.
So although Conservatives/Patriots would have quickly recanted, had they been called out for such an egregious and undeserved attack on their fellow citizens, the responses of leftists, both short and long term, will be much different. Despite their early efforts at “damage control” in the midst of backlash on the morning after, they are clearly regrouping and, with the passage of only a few days, are attempting to recast the entire episode, from start to finish, in a manner that places them once again on their phony “moral high ground.” A few noteworthy examples reveal both their duplicity, and their absolute lack of shame or conscience in attempting to create a huge chasm between the nearly soulless minions they hope to keep in their corner, as opposed to the rest of the Country.
Less than a week after the venomous speech, Biden was once more excoriating supporters of President Trump, referencing the worn out and thoroughly discredited Charlottesville lie of five years ago, in which President Trump was maliciously accused of lauding white supremacists as “good people.” And a similarly repulsive litany was repeated on September 11, in a “commemorative” speech. In every case, the goal is to embarrass Conservatives, and thus relegate them to the “fringe,” per the filthy tactics of leftist radical Saul Alinsky.
That same day, Kamala Harris addressed a gathering in Boston, where she claimed Joe Biden to be a “healer and uniter,” and then trotted out the fraudulent accusation of efforts to ensure proper identification of voters as denying them their “rights.” Here again, leftists/Democrats and all their election fraud are asserted as the great builders of a new American Ideal, while those on the Right who seek honesty and accountability pose a threat to the Nation on the order of mass murdering islamic terrorists.
In Florida, RINO turned Democrat Charlie Crist declared himself to be “So (expletive) proud” of Biden for the venom laced rant. Crist claimed Biden “Told it straight,” and that “democracy is at risk,” on account of those Americans who want to see elections conducted with integrity. Aiming his barbs at Florida’s current Governor, Ron DeSantis, and also at every American who dares to doubt the flagrant crimes and vote fraud of the 2020 election, Crist seeks to win the approval of a majority of Florida voters by fanning flames of discord and ideological condemnation of any who aren’t out on his fringe, in the same manner as the Democrats have done nationally in recent years. And while castigating President Trump and his supporters, Crist grovels before Ol’ Joe as the “best president of my lifetime.”
The near robotic ramblings of Biden, along with the glaring absurdity of Harris and Crist, while characteristically buffoonish, prove that the left is not backing away from its narrative. It cannot win in a flourishing Nation of honest, functioning citizens. Historically, it has never been able to do so. Instead, it must foment dishonesty and dysfunction, in hopes that it can prevail in the midst of the resulting chaos, fear, and despair. The rampant inflation and shortages suffered by Americans are hardly coincidental, but reflect the best chances of the leftists to stampede cowardly and gullible voters into begging for the empty promises of “security” and meager existence at the hands of Democrats.
As always, the “good news” is that such tactics, while thoroughly abominable, are inherently fragile and susceptible to straightforward rebuttals. Bluntly calling out the leftists for their toxicity and instead pursuing the “traditional” worthy goals for the Nation, despite leftist disparagement, is the best course, and thus the one they fear most. Truth is still the greatest weapon America has against this malignancy in its midst.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
