Let me pose a question to you: do you genuinely believe that future generations will experience anything close to the freedoms we still enjoy today? Can you envision the liberties children had in, say, 1985, ever being reinstated? Have you pondered the gradual erosion of freedom in our nation? I’m referring to a time long, long ago. It was once said of the Native Americans, before the founding of our nation, that “never have there ever been a people who were so free.” While this holds some truth, it isn’t entirely accurate, as various peoples have experienced such freedom at … Continue reading →

When the phrase “economic collapse” pops up, I often find myself saying, “no, that’s not going to happen.” Well, not the way many envision it, at least. The real deal is that the collapse is already here. It’s a slow burn, affecting us with both constant and sudden hardships. So, instead of getting ready for TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it), it might be better to prep for TEOYWAYKI (the end of your world as you know it). As is often the case when I try to break this down, there are folks who take it … Continue reading →

Today we look directly into the face of undeniable facts. The American populace has been conditioned over generations to struggle with making rational and logical decisions. This is not a matter of opinion, but a reality we grapple with daily. Let’s delve into the core factors that have contributed to this phenomenon: The State/Education System From a young age, individuals are ushered into an education system that encourages rote learning rather than critical thinking. The emphasis is on memorizing and regurgitating information, leaving little room for students to forge their own paths in understanding and interpreting the world around them. … Continue reading →

In the realm of weather, we often hear the age-old adage, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” This saying, while rooted in some truth, can sometimes feel oversimplified. Indeed, a sweltering 90 degrees with high humidity might feel more oppressive than 95 degrees with low humidity. However, the reality is that both heat and humidity, individually or combined, can be perilous. They combine to create conditions that can lead to severe health risks, such as heat strokes. Drawing a parallel to our economic landscape, the dynamics of inflation and interest rates mirror the heat and humidity analogy. Individually, they … Continue reading →

I am 51 years old, and despite witnessing decades of transition, problems, and other challenges in this nation, I have never seen it more divided. I am not running for POTUS, nor am I implying that here. Today, I simply want to point out that many of the problems both parties claim are difficult to fix are not as complex as they seem. I am not a super genius. As you know, I refer to myself as a JERK and a “redneck hippy duck farmer.” That’s kind of my point today. If a guy who barely made it through high … Continue reading →
