Americans who love the truth and embrace the great ideals of our Nation are at once elated and outraged over the information being uncovered at Twitter, per the direction of its new owner, Elon Musk. While it is great to have the truth finally exposed to the light of day (and Musk is a National Hero for doing so), the abominable extent of the manipulations and coordination between former leftie Twitter execs and the Democrat political machine back in the Washington Swamp exceeds any expectations.
The effort was obviously to suppress free speech regarding the flagrant, criminal corruption in the Biden camp, especially dealing with son Hunter. Simultaneously, Twitter was working to amplify Democrat talking points to such an extent that they would overpower any rumblings of truth from the Conservative/Patriot opposition. And it cannot be denied that this conspiracy enjoyed significant success. Still, the American people were not fooled into believing that Biden was a worthwhile, or even a viable candidate. Otherwise, all of the vast cheating that the Nation witnessed in the wee hours of November 4, 2020, the morning after the phony presidential election, would not have been necessary for leftists to seize power.
Currently, many on the right are loudly trumpeting the findings, with the expectation that something tangible might be done to right the wrongs that ensued, due in part to the deliberate suppression of pertinent information. Certainly, the “mainstream” media would want to keep the American people fully informed, since that is who they incessantly claim to be, and how they sanctimoniously insist that they operate. And in a just world, that would certainly be the case.
Unfortunately, painful experience has shown otherwise, and America should be preparing for the impending deflections and backlash from every leftist Fake News outlet. That is simply who they are, and how they predictably respond. Efforts will be made first to ignore the entire situation. But when that doesn’t work, the entire Fake News machine will immediately switch the narrative in order to trivialize the situation, if not completely dismiss it. The prospect of the leftist media actually doing the right thing and addressing the criminal corruption and cover up is simply not realistic, especially since doing so would amount to a total admission of guilt and complicity on their part.
Another hoped for scenario is that the new, “Republican” dominated Congress will take up investigations of both the Twitter election interference, and the criminal actions of the Biden Cabal, with a goal of seeing that justice is served. Again, this would absolutely be the right course to take, for the purpose of restoring integrity in the highest levels of American Government. But the prospects of things actually working out in this manner are dubious, at best.
If we are to learn from the painful lessons of history, we should be expecting a major show of indignation from the GOP, complete with hearings in which great sound bite speeches are given by key players, eloquently excoriating the Democrats and their Twitter collaborators. That’s the stuff of alternative media interviews and fund-raising letters, and this is a golden opportunity for more of the same.

Unfortunately, past experiences have yielded just such theatrics on a grand scale. Yet when the time came to take all of it to the next level, meaning indictments and prosecutions, everything grew strangely silent. The whole episode had served its “real” purpose, which was to give the Republican Party a moment in the spotlight from which to vigorously pat itself on the back. But any further action might involve messy legal maneuvers and, horror of horrors, being labeled as “mean spirited” on the nightly news. So the decision was made, behind closed doors, to simply move on to other topics. Thus the cancer remained in place.
Consider the previous atrocities against the Constitution and the rule of law that have not resulted in legal action of any substance, despite being egregious abuses of power and position. From Lois Lerner weaponizing the IRS against Conservatives (clearly under the direction of Obama), to Hillary’s flagrant solicitation of bribes on that “unofficial” server, to the Stasi style FBI attacks on political enemies of the leftist state, to the judicial rubber stamping of warrants putting a “fig leaf” on all of it, a dangerous pattern of leftist assaults on the American people, emanating from high office, has emerged in recent years that threatens the very fabric of our Nation.
Plenty of evidence exists to characterize these abuses and over-reaches as criminal activity, with the obvious intent of reducing Americans under absolute despotism (as the founders would have described all of it). Here again, a deflection is flippantly given, to the extent that despite massive evidence, we ostensibly have no “proof” that crimes were committed. Think: James Comey covering for Hillary’s treasonous behavior with that private server. In his official statement, he simply dismissed her very deliberate actions as benign, while warning that similar behavior would be diligently pursued and prosecuted, were it committed by mere commoners.
On cue, the leftist Fake News crowd derides any discussion of those events as “old news,” willfully ignoring the fact that the pattern was set in motion for everything to get considerably worse ever since. Meanwhile, we should be concerned (we are told), that Donald Trump used his Twitter account to say mean things about leftists/Democrats.

Come January, Republicans will once more hold the majority in the House of Representatives, where so much horrendous abuse has occurred during the past four years. Barring a major push from the grassroots, the Republican “Establishment” will once again likely attempt to give Americans just enough of a show to “blow off steam,” while actually accomplishing nothing. If this is the chosen course of incoming Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other of the Republican “Inner Circle,” it should be regarded as nothing short of total collaboration with the Democrats.
The time for “collegiality” and “rising above the rancor” has passed. America is at a dangerous crossroads, and being in a position of power, the GOP will either deal effectively with the outright crimes and treason of leftists in power, or it must be expunged of “Republicans” who betray their Party and the American people.

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.
