Build Back Better

We must be in the demolition phase.

Can you imagine what would happen if the democrats stay in power in the house and senate and white house for the next 7 years?

[Gladiators 1,903]

As long as their feelings aren't hurt, the Biden voters don't care.

That could be difficult to recover from.

I really am amazed at the lack of economic understanding by such a swath of educated people.  

[Bill E. 666]

He even ripped off his stupid slogan from Trump's MAGA

Build = Make
Back  = Again
Better =  Great

He left out America because that is the real plan.

Fingers crossed we get through the next year with no progress on this and we can bury it in a shallow grave.

Democrats view America as their little northeast enclave and then spots on the west coast.  The rest of the nation might as well be Mexico to them, left lawless in the hands of the cartels.

Patriot Radio just said- according to Motha Jones- Joe Manchin is leaving the Democrat party.

I heard he threatened it, but when asked he said it's just a rumor and nothing else. So who knows?

That *could* flip the senate to the GOP. 
 

currently the senate is 50 GOP, 48 dems, 2 independents. (Bernie Sanders & Angus King).  The GOP *would* currently run the senate except both independents caucus with the democrats.  If Manchin leaves *and* either joins the GOP or goes Independent and caucuses with the GOP, the GOP would control the senate.  If Manchin goes independent but caucuses with the democrats, the dems still control the senate.  
 

manchin has openly denied he is leaving the democratic party. 
 

personally i have wondered why more senators dont run as independents and just caucus with a party.  It would seem like a winning play in several states.

I don't know what he's trying to build BACK, but what he's doing now is not what I can ever remember this country being or have heard of being.

I just ordered another 6 month food supply from these guys - https://wisefoodstorage.com/

I have enough food and ammo to ride out this Marxist experiment.

I have a bunch of these along with some other brands. I figure I can feed my family for a year with what I have.

Augason Farms

Chef's Banquet

Honeyville

Don't ask me if they are any good. I bought stuff for survival, and have no plans of opening them unless I have to.

Wise is popular.  Patriot Supply seems to be popular as well.  Many people recommend going to an army surplus store and loading up on MREs.  Make sure you have plenty of water stored up and some canned meats, beans, soups and vegetables as well.  Dried goods like grain are important.

A rotating pantry is YUGE! Canned foods, pasta, rice etc... will keep for a very long time. I need to get my wife on board with this strategy.

 

Last year at the height of COVID fear March/April/May I did all the shopping for two reasons. One to protect my family and two, my wife said she couldn't handle seeing the empty shelves. It doesn't take much for stores to run out of food. We live in a JIT system. Which we are seeing now for sure.

Do you do any canning?  Canning your own foods is helpful.  I would also stock up on salt, it has a lot of uses.

Nope. I really should.

I've never canned but my parents did all the time.  They still do a little and so do my in-laws, so I just get stuff from them.  My parents use to have a huge garden with all kinds of vegetables in it.  I only grow stuff for making salsa now.  I have the ability and space to grow whatever I need though, so that's a benefit.

I love doing this, I like to add elements to make it fun. I particularly enjoy exploring the use of jalapenos and different seasonings

Is there a shortage like everything else?  Should be able to find some at an estate sale or something like that.  Find someone old that doesn't can anymore.

My 6+ year old Panasonic toughbooks are selling like hotcakes.

What's the deal with canning jars?

Is it a can, or is it a jar?
