America is at a crossroads. While voters have plenty of reasons to steer this nation clear of the destructive policies of Democrats, there are those in the GOP wing of the Uniparty Swamp who are equally divisive and dangerous. RINOs and their “bootlicking” sycophants always make two demands. First, they say we need to vote for the letter “R” no matter what. But then they come out AGAINST America-First patriots even during general election season.
Former Senate candidate Kathy Barnette, who was endorsed by gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano during the Pennsylvania primary and has endorsed him in his race, has accused RINO bootlickers of playing both sides. It’s time to stop listening to them, as she and I discussed on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show.
The interview was enthralling as Barnette does not hold back on punches. Both of us went toe-to-toe with people like Sean Hannity, Ric Grenell, and Greg Kelly who all put tremendous efforts into disparaging Barnette ahead of the GOP primary. They backed Dr. Mehmet Oz. Patriots like Jack Posobiec and Todd Starnes fought the Oz-backers as well.
Some have speculated that several official and unofficial advisors, including Hannity, pressed Donald Trump to back his “old friend” and would have suffered major embarrassment if Dr. Oz was unable to win his primary, let alone the general election.
While we discussed her book, Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: Being Black and Conservative in America, and some of her other current and future activities, the conversation continuously gravitated back to the problem with “bootlickers.” The members and minions of the Republican Establishment wing of the Uniparty Swamp pose as much of a threat to this nation as Democrats. In some ways, they’re even worse because at least with Democrats we know to oppose all of their moves. With the GOPe, they are sometimes allies on a handful of issues but oftentimes they’re our enemies.
Gun control, for example, could never have been passed without Mitch McConnell and his ten RINO Senators who voted against the Constitution and against America.
One of the biggest threats we face ahead of the election in Pennsylvania is Karl Rove and his Super PAC working on behalf of Democrat Josh Shapiro. They disguise their efforts to take down “extreme” Mastriano by running ads against John Fetterman, but the message is crystal clear. According to Rove and company, the massive failure of Soros-backed Shapiro as Attorney General should be overlooked because he’s “not as extreme” as Fetterman.
Yesterday’s debate with Dr. Mehmet Oz should seal Fetterman’s fate, so one would think Rove and his RINO cronies would pull their ads. Nope. They’re doubling down because Fetterman was never really the target. They want Mastriano to lose. Even if we dismiss the fact that Mastriano is an unambiguous America First patriot who has served this nation and the state of Pennsylvania proudly for over three decades, we should still put everything we have behind him because it will go against the Uniparty Swamp’s desires.
Few things would make me happier after the midterm election than to imagine Karl Rove fuming about how the NeoCon wing of the Republican Party is losing steam.
Here’s the interview with Barnette:
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.
She’s 100% correct rinos are worse than democrats/marxist. they’re nothing more than democrat infiltrators who rely on The MSM stolen elections and Big Business to stay in power..
They stab us in the back every chance they get..
“RINO” is a propaganda term created to control a group of people on the “right” who were dangerously close to waking up to the entire system being a sham, and the same agenda marching forward regardless of who they voted for.
It’s a “damage control” term, and nothing more. So long as you keep voting (lol, go vote for your next slave master, fool), you keep believing in their fraudulent system.
There are no “RINOS”, there is only a system of endlessly perpetuated fraud that you keep falling for by “voting”.
RINOs are weak kneed individuals who care more about getting invited to cocktail parties and not being called mean names by America hating democrats than representing their constituents.
God Bless this brave lady for stating the truth.
I wrote to RINO Lindsey Graham, cocaine Mitch McConnell, and John Cornyn and demanded that they RESIGN, for signing on to the communist Democrats gun control bill that passed with their TREASONOUS votes.
It’s too bad you have fallen for this and can’t see the same agenda marching forward regardless of who is in “office”.
Please go take anIQ test, and post the results, as I’v never seen a negative score in my life time
Your arrogance is alarming.
