Leftists across America have been throwing absolute tantrums of indignation, ever since President Trump made his appearance at the May 10 CNN “Townhall” in New Hampshire. Yet in contrast to the contrived drama they often exhibit when seeking to lay claim to their phony “moral high ground,” the panic and tumult this time is very real. They find themselves in full “damage control” mode, attempting to rebuild their narrative after President Trump blew holes through it.
Though some effort is being made to point to “moderator” Kaitlan Collins at once as both victim of President Trump’s supposed attacks and “guilty party” for ostensibly letting him get away with it, the reaction of the townhall audience, and of so many people across America, paints a vastly different picture. To be sure, he was blunt to the point of being confrontational, calling out Collins as a “nasty person,” on account of her own confrontational and hardly “impartial” sham of “moderating” the gathering.
It was clear from the manner in which Collins attempted to contort and recast every topic of discussion into some sort of accusation against the President, that she had fully expected to conduct the gathering in the slanted and fraudulent manner for which CNN has become so tediously predictable and infamous. But President Trump was no more willing to allow such a course than he ever has been in the past. Among the New Hampshire audience and across America, people who have watched the devastation of our Nation at the hands of the Biden Cabal were effusive in their support of President Trump. This message is not being lost on the leftists who illegally wormed their way into authority.
In a government that is properly established of, by, and for the people, those in office are able to wield power in a just manner with assurance that they have the “consent of the governed.” In ugly contrast, while leftists/Democrats may have succeeded thus far in their efforts to steal the 2020 Election, the means by which they achieved their position does not give them the needed confidence and allegiance of the people on “Main Street.” So instead, they attempt to maintain their precarious position by constant, flamboyant claims of unassailable dominance, accompanied by venomous attacks against any who dare to disagree. As is the case with all illicit power structures, their paranoia is palpable.
Leftists may have infested our Nation’s highest offices, reaching all the way to the White House, but they have not established uncontested power, which is absolutely essential if they are going to succeed in operating as they hope to do. In the meantime, they’ll continue trying to project the image of such. And this, more than any other reason, is why America is assaulted on almost a daily basis by their latest outrage against the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and every other vestige of America’s former greatness. Only in that manner can they remind the populace that they are calling the shots.
This effort was clearly on display with Collins, as she incessantly sought to discredit President Trump, framing the topics of discussion to cast him in a bad light and put him on the defensive. Leftists should have learned by now that such transparent tactics simply do not work with a person who not only knows what he believes, but has the courage and boldness to explain why.
So it is that, in the aftermath of their total disaster that was the townhall, leftists have been frantically working to pick up the pieces and convince Americans of something very different from what they saw last Wednesday. Every Swamp Dweller from the far leftist Democrats inside the Beltway to their RINO minions/enablers have been disparaging and discrediting the President’s actions on any spurious grounds.
Though he produced copies of his posts on Twitter, proving that he did nothing to incite a J6 “insurrection” (as if one actually occurred), and showing Collins to be a liar, the narrative that he was guilty of such has continued unabated. If anything, their accusations are even more shrill and condemning in that regard. Similarly, Collins reiterated the leftist narrative that the 2020 Presidential Election was “legitimate,” and that it is somehow criminal to call out the flagrant corruption and manipulations in every jurisdiction where Democrats held power, by which the election results were clearly switched in the dark of night.
The ominous and chilling statement that the leftist political cabal and its Fake News lackeys make with all of this, is that they fully intend to further amass power by systematically shutting down the ability of “We the People” to oppose them. This effort began with the infiltration of the DOJ and FBI with agenda driven operatives who ignore their oaths of office, and give unwavering loyalty instead to the Democrat Party. The next phase involves the stifling and eventual suppression of dissenting voices across America. Finally, the total disarming of the citizenry will ensure that they are ultimately powerless to resist the movement, no matter how despotic and unjust it becomes.
To this end, leftists/Democrats regard the Second Amendment as their greatest remaining roadblock. The recent spate of mass killings, and the thoroughly scripted responses of every leftist with a microphone, from the nightly Fake News anchors, to every grandstanding Democrat in D.C., offer ample evidence of how they intend to wage this portion of the campaign. In the meantime, reaffirming their “narrative” as they expected to do in New Hampshire, and have been feverishly reciting ever since, is all that’s keeping their shaky cabal from facing accountability at the hands of the American people.
Leftists want us to ignore what every marginally honest person actually saw, on Election Day 2020, on January 6 2021, and ever since, in hopes that we’ll believe President Trump represents something really sinister and threatening to us. But he’s only a “threat” to them because that is how they view a Great America. In the end “We the People” are the real enemy they fear and despise.

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.
