This country's in a pretty parlous state right now, with an administration that ignores the law and lawmakers too busy scoring political points off one another to care about doing something about that.
Under the circumstances, it's up to us as individuals, as well as groups of like-minded people, to "do what we can, with what we have, where we are", to paraphrase President Theodore Roosevelt. To emphasize that reality, here are some very pertinent thoughts from other bloggers over the past week or so. I very strongly recommend that you read each article carefully, and perhaps re-read it frequently.
- From Ace of Spades in late April: The Morning Report identifies major issues that require (but are not getting) serious attention.
- From Linda Fox, drawing on that Ace of Spades article: Death By A Thousand Cuts.
- From Divemedic at Area Ocho, three very relevant articles:
- My Thoughts
- Skills
- Be Realistic
- And from Aesop at Raconteur Report, inspired by one of Divemedic's articles:
- Cut Right Back
- Come To Jesus Time
When our government can't, or won't, do its job, it's up to us to protect ourselves against their neglect as best we can, and to safeguard our families and communities against the consequences of their malfeasance in office. Nobody else is going to do that for us . . . so what are we going to do about it?

It's long been my position to "make a stand where I stand." We can spend out days running from one state to another as each one slowly succumbs to the Left, or we ca PUSH.BACK.AGAINST IT! I live in California. Yeah; the land of fruits and nuts. It's also some of the best arable land in the country, if not the world. Add to that the oil, natural gas, minerals, fishing, deepwater ports, etc, and you have to ask yourself; "WHY would I run, and leave this to the Left???" And so, I push back...
Folks, WE, THE PEOPLE CRASHED Anheuser-Busch by simply pushing back. If we can make a beer brewer go flat, we can d it with the Left!!! ...And it's not going to push back by itself...
Be prepared, and ready to react as necessary...
The Left will be arresting and persecuting we Normals for protecting ourselves. The government has reached the state of lawlessness. The Garland Gulag, Perry, Penny and the list goes on. These are just the tip of the iceberg of the sedition of the Federal Government.
I think there is some time still to prepare as the SWHTF in late 2024, early 2025. It will depend on the outcome of the pseudo-Election.
I have resigned myself to do what I can to prepare for what appears to be the inevitable collapse of society, which at this point can be triggered by a number of things.
One must face the fact that there is basically no chance of organizing any sizeable opposition against those in charge, due to the vast surveillance of all forms of communication. And, even if there was the possibility of meaningful organization, I doubt I would join it.
Not that I claim to have any better insight into the future than anybody else, but I have become convinced that the events that are in motion are either God's judgement being played out, or the beginning of the events from the book of Revelation, and if either is the case, there is nothing we can do to stop it.
The congresscritters can't be bothered to hold anyone in the adminstration accountable because about 95% of them are just as evil and corrupt as the criminals infesting the Executive Branch. As for what to do about it...
there is absolutely nothing legal, peaceful or pleasant that we can do that will have any effect whatsoever on the situation.
Re the practice you had with AB's beer ideas -
Looks like you will get a second go!

I agree with all of the above. Most of the current government is criminal and the rest is phony except for maybe 5%.
If you're trusting TPTB to protect you should things go sporty, and think the courts are honest and fair, you're way behind the curve.
Things are going to be handled retail, and no reports will be filed. Nor should be.
In some cases, "assailants unknown".
In many cases, there will be no proof anything ever happened.
Some folks just gonna disappear without a trace.
Folks should ponder on that awhile.
