This would also be prime reason number 1 why I have a CCW and utilize it daily. If some place is a "gun free zone" I consider it might be suspect and avoid going there.

Gonna be a long hot summer. Bet ole Charlie Manson is laughing his ass off right about now, seems he's getting his "helter skelter" a few decades later than he planned.

I saw Bosnia. I have a feeling something of the sort is coming and brewing a shtf moment here. tonight I'm worried one of my hometown kids, one I love dearly, is stuck in an airport in Atlanta trying to sleep because his flight out is tomorrow morning for his new TDY assignment. and there are riots brewing in Atlanta. So instead of him getting a clean hotel room, he's got crap chairs and bad food and no bed. The momma in me is worried.

I have about 9 or so kids I really got adopted by, they call me momma, I helped them grow up. I watched them grow up. I feed them and joked with them. I've prayed with them, for them and now I can't do a damn thing but light a candle and say my prayers for God to keep him safe tonight.

gonna be a long night. I'll not sleep much waiting on his call to say he's about to board his flight at 0730.

I'm a fan of Survivor, but they don't kill people. They just vote them off the island. That's what we need to do. It's fine to understand that there are virtues on both sides. I don't disagree. But one side needs to win. Only then can we move on. The blue side is far more able to absorb the virtues of the red side, than vice-versa. We see that with the Clintons and Obamas, as opposed to the Bushs, Romneys, Trumps, Ryans, Gingrichs etc.

It is you who deny that two is better than one. Your side is individual self-reliance. You would not work with another; you would fight to maintain your property rights. That's your version of "intelligence." You would not be like Ethan, Erik or Yul; you would be like Russell Hantz.

"Russell Hantz is considered by many Survivor fans as the greatest and most notorious villain of all time. Some fans love him, while others have criticized his strategy. Each time he played he was extremely ruthless, manipulative and sometimes just plain mean. He’s played three times, Survivor: Samoa, Survivor: Heroes Vs Villains and Survivor: Redemption Island. The first time he ever played, he was the runner up. During Heroes Vs Villains, he developed a rivalry with fellow villain Boston Rob and was able to eliminate him from the game. He made it to the final three that time. On his third appearance, he was targeted by his tribe, who purposely lost an immunity challenge so they could eliminate him early on. He stated that his third appearance was his final, but since then, has indicated he would like to return."

I think it's about time for the third round with the Republican villains.

I represent self reliance aka the expectation and obligation placed on oneself to carry ones own weight and ones share of the weight so others don't have too. You represent the opposite, the expectation and the demand placed upon others to carry your weight or your share of the weight for you for the sake of some liberal belief.

That is not a good sign but probably to be expected in this fourth turning.  We appear to be hitting the SHTF stage of this turning.

I would take a camera to a peaceful protest and take a photo of any violent or criminal activity. Counter-protesters can be nasty. Police brutality? The cops have the right to infiltrate a peaceful protest to make sure that it is peaceful. Bring a weapon? Get busted.  Take advantage of a peaceful protest to do a smash-and-grab larceny? I might give some stills or a video to the cops. Tip over a car? That's not a First Amendment right.

We may need to show some courage. Governments can do unconscionable things, and when they do any failure of us to protest is effective consent. So what will you do if a corrupt government tries to shut down your church?

I do not do mob scenes. or riots. or "peaceful protests" where killing cops is seen as a good thing. Have I mentioned my dad was a cop?

cop killers are scum.

I also think all these idiots out there blocking roadways are scum. A 12 year old girl died last night in Memphis because these people blocked the interstate with her in the car she was in trying to make it to the hospital for her new heart. She died en route to the hospital because of these scum of the earth idiots, where her new heart to be was waiting for her to get there for it to be transplanted.

I hope they all get arrested and charged with anything the federal and state laws can throw at them.

I would hate for that to happen. That would destroy the country, and would send the world into chaos.

No one wants to see that happen - but the destigmatization of treason that the Boom Awakening played host to makes it exponentially more likely to happen.
