Every “second string” Republican presidential contender needs to be asked one question and no other, with only a “Yes or No” response accepted. They need to take an unambiguous stand on whether or not they believe the 2020 Election was stolen on Election Day and in the wee hours of the next morning. And Ramaswamy does not get to get “clever” and equivocate by saying that it was stolen through the suppression of information on Hunter, weeks prior to the Election.
Of course none of them will admit to the flagrant corrupt actions which we all saw, as polling places were “closed down,” Republican election judges forced out of the room, with only Democrats remaining to tabulate the unmonitored ballots, truckloads of “ballots” being dropped at crucial locations, counts simultaneously stopped in all six of the “swing states” (but no others) where President Trump was comfortably ahead, only to re-open with Biden ostensibly taking the lead by razor thin margins in all six. And the list of brazen indefensible corruption goes on!
So for these “Republicans” to deny the Election theft after all that, we can only assume that they are fine with elections being stolen, if doing so might work to their political advantage. They can no longer be counted on to fight for the Constitution and the Rule of Law, when it isn’t politically expedient to do so, or if they might face backlash on the nightly Fake News.
However, that’s only the beginning of the damage dealt to the Nation by their treachery and pragmatism. Given the circumstances of November 2020, consider what an actual Biden “win” would indicate. Even back then, Ol’ Joe could barely complete a sentence, and was obviously being fed “talking points” on a real time basis. On some occasions, he repeated instructions out loud, clearly unable to discern if he was supposed to speak them or obey them. His campaign rallies drew little or no audience, with participants obviously selected and paid to participate. Meanwhile Americans showed up by the tens of thousands to hear President Trump speak.
So if Biden had actually won, we would have to conclude that the Nation actually preferred his Obama “third term” leftist lurch into the morass of socialism and third world squalor to Donald Trump’s very successful programs of “Making America Great Again.” And this alternate “reality,” picked up by the RINO candidates would mean that they would be compelled to reverse course from the Trump agenda. Certainly they could not win with it. After all, according to their own assertions of an “honest” 2020 election, America had resoundingly turned its back on the MAGA movement, giving the decrepit Biden and his leftie puppet masters the needed mandate to turn our Nation in Cuba and Venezuela.
Of course for those second-string candidates to acknowledge that the Election was indeed stolen, they would by default be admitting that it is President Trump’s to reclaim, in order to rectify the criminality, corruption, and treason which we witnessed on November 3 and 4 of 2020. Apparently, these “Republicans” are more comfortable accepting that criminality, corruption, and treason, than they are taking the stand to actually confront and rectify it, for the sake of those crude, annoying peasants known as the “We the People.”
Thus the question needs to be asked “What are these RINOs, and so many others within the GOP ‘Establishment’ really up to?” And it is that disturbing answer which Americans need to muster the courage to face, and the resolve to correct. What we are seeing is the culmination of a long, protracted battle within the Republican Party for dominance; the two factions being the “Business as usual” crowd from inside the Beltway Swamp (Sewer), and the Conservative Grassroots.
For years, this confrontation has simmered, with RINOs regularly back-stabbing real conservatives and driving them to defeat. Then in a shameless political “sleight of hand,” these same RINOs suddenly revert to “Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment” (Thou shalt not criticize a fellow Republican), citing it totally out of context, to demand Conservatives join with them to get their favored “Establishment” candidates across the finish line. And for years, Conservatives have reluctantly played along.
In 2016, Donald Trump rode to victory and loudly proclaimed “No More!” Since that time, he’s been in the crosshairs of every major “Republican” player inside the Beltway with a yearning to get back to the perks and comfort of D.C. “Business as usual.” And that’s on top of the assaults he faced from the openly anti-American leftist Democrats.
To understand just how far the Republican “Establishment” has been willing to sink, consider that these 2024 presidential wannabes are perfectly fine with all the phony “indictments” and other leftist/Globalist efforts to keep President Trump off the ticket. Like vultures, they’re circling and waiting. And if the thoroughly corrupt and lawless “system” somehow succeeds at disqualifying him, meaning despotic third world political attacks are now the norm for America, these candidates will be thoroughly invigorated as they jockey for front-runner position.
This is the real explanation of the second phony “impeachment,” and the recent efforts by so called “Republicans” in Colorado to prevent President Trump from being on the ballot in that state. Every outward sign gives ample proof that President Trump not only won comfortably in 2020, but barring even more extensive cheating, can do so in 2024. Of course his attackers claim to be all about the ” rule of law and the Constitution,” yet are strangely silent regarding the rampant, treasonous lawlessness of Obama during his first two terms, as well as currently, as he pulls the strings of his sock puppet, Ol’ Joe.
As to the Constitution, never forget that these are the same people who, when its directives for America to be a Representative Republic become inconvenient to the leftist agenda, suddenly declare it to be a “living document,” and on that basis claim license to totally ignore it.
The outrages, lawlessness, and hypocrisy are mainstay in the current Federal Government, and will not fix themselves. The situation will only be made right from the outside. That is what is at stake in 2024.

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.
