So it seems I have been neglecting this page for quite some time. Well 2020 was a hell of a year and frankly I got disgusted, discouraged and towards the end disheartened………

A lot has happened in the past months and weeks and our nation is in danger…. Free speech is under attack and anyone with a dissenting voice is being silenced. Alternative Social Media platforms are attacked and shut down by our BIG TECH overlords.

Our government had been hijacked by those who call freedom loving people evil and true fascists the good guys. Groups that are actually terrorizing communities across this nation in the name of “Social Justice” are nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and the so called “ANTI-Fascists” (who are actually using fascists methods) are lauded as good…… I am sure the people of Portland would disagree…..

Some Proud young men are being labeled as Terrorists when for the most part they are quite peaceful compared to their ANTI FA counterparts.

Our military is being purged…. SJWs are taking over…

Our president as of this posting has signed more than 30 EOs….

Our elected representatives (not leaders) are passing multi TRILLION dollar stimulus packages that mainly stimulate their special intrests.

We have a social studies teacher (who is a white guy) drawing political cartoons insinuating that cretin elephants (that are being led by a black guy) are members of the raciest organization that has mostly died out and were Jackasses.

This very hosting platform is kicking people off for not having correct way of thinking and that don’t tow the approved line.

We have publishers refusing to print one of our times best selling authors because some of the employees are triggered and hate facts and truth. Get woke GO broke…..

I fear for our nations future as we go forward… Our nation is in the hands of a man with dementia and sever cognitive decline and the next in line is woman who slept her way to the top…. Who basically got NO votes in the primary and quit because she realized nobody was going to voter for her. Unfortunately she will be the 47th president probably sooner than later.

The “Peoples House” is still in the hands of an alcoholic grand ma who is almost as bad as the geriatric president. The other house is being run by a dood who thinks he is the protector of the US and Israel but his actions show he doesn’t like either one very much. The former leader of that house is a spinless turtle looking turd who has rolled over and is playing dead…..

Our capital is now an armed camp with fences (we were told don’t work) topped with razor wire protected with thousands of Guardsman from various states. So the “Peoples House” is now inaccessible by “WE THE PEOPLE”. So much for a redress of our grievances……

If you were/are a supporter of a cretin blond haired man with a tanning bed habit you are being labeled a “terrorist”. While real terrorist are being allowed to run free…

You a have 4th rate D list actor/comedian doxxing and endangering a woman because she dared speak out against her. The woke mob is now is threatening her and her family and her husband is afraid he will lose his job…. Who is the Fascist?

Government Revision of History Debunked By KrisAnn Hall

This is a great article by KrisAnn Hall discussing the misinformation that is put out in our public schools. Many times what is being taught is very inaccurate or just out right wrong. We are constantly told we are a Democracy when we are a Representative Republic. It is said time and time again by politicians, news readers and many others. It is just wrong. This article about “Government Revision of History Debunked” by KrisAnn Hall at krisannhall.com is a great example. Please go there and read and support KrisAnn and JD!

Piston ARs are something that I have always like the idea of, especially as a left handed shooter. The ejection port on a Gas Impingement gun likes to spew gas into the face of such a shooter. With a piston driven gun this isn’t an issue unless you are shooting suppressed. (INCOMPLETE)

Corn season is here and that will probably cut into my podcasting time at least the preparation time. Podcasts may be shorter and lack some of the usual segments.

Franklin Horton’s “Compound Fracture”

I finally took the opportunity to listen to Franklin Horton’s new book “Compound Fracture”. I have read or listened to all of Franklin’s books and this one does not disappoint.

All of Franklin Horton’s books take place in the same time frame. His original work was The “Borrowed World” series, there are currently 6 in that series and according to his Facebook Reader page book 7 is in the works.

“Compound Fracture” is the third book in the “Locker 9” series. The main premise behind the “Locker 9” Series is that the Primary character Robert Hardwick set up a locker for his daughter “Grace” in the same area she is attending college. Robert is a Post Apocalyptic fiction writer and because of his writing and fans he was able to create a network of people to help Grace get home in the event of something catastrophic happening. I recently mentioned “Locker 9” in my Caching episode.

So as to not give too much away I won’t go into detail about the book itself since I am afraid to give away too many spoilers. Also it is hard to write too much since without getting into detail on the other two books there would be little context.

I contacted Franklin and asked permission to play the sample from the Audible page. He graciously said yes.

This is the publishers Summary of “Compound Fracture”:

The long-awaited third installment in a series that has become a classic in family preparedness. 

When Robert Hardwick’s daughter, Grace, was struggling to reach home because the nation was collapsing, he couldn’t wait. He went after her, finally finding her at one of the safe houses he’d arranged along her route home, a friend’s survival compound in the mountains of northern Georgia. 

A chance encounter at the compound gave Grace the opportunity to hitch a ride home in a chopper while Robert chose to wait for an injured friend to heal up. Before he could begin his own journey home, the compound came under siege from a corrupt congressman and his private army, determined to take the property for themselves. 

In a bid to save the compound and reach his family, Robert comes up with a bold and dangerous plan that just might deter the invading army, if it doesn’t get him killed first.

If you haven’t read any of Franklin’s books you should! He is a really down to earth guy who has a 9-5 job like the rest of us. Franklin has also graciously offered to give away all three audio books to my listeners! Please comment on this post for a chance to win!!! I will give them away two weeks after this posting!
