The entire Republican “Establishment” is having a collective meltdown over the fact that President Trump refuses to take an oath of loyalty to the Party. From Washington to Iowa, entrenched Republicans are decrying his unwillingness to make the desires of party elites his “guideposts” of principle during the upcoming presidential campaign season. Yet given the issues that have been totally abandoned by the Party, along with the comparative distractions on which it chooses to stand, President Trump is absolutely right to refuse further entanglements with it.
By far the most important and defining issue of the day, the mention of which causes Party insiders to instantly scamper for the tall grass, is the stolen Presidential Election of 2020. Regardless of how GOP elites attempt to spin it and dissemble from it, the fact remains that a vast web of vote fraud, perpetrated in the wee hours of the morning of November 4, turned what was obviously a comfortable Trump victory into a supposed “razor thin” win by the mentally incompetent and feeble Joe Biden.
Everybody saw the steal. But the sheer brazenness of leftist ballot stuffing and vote manipulation carried its own “shock and awe” factor, stunning many on the Right into questioning what they had just witnessed. Yet that act was actually exceeded by the ferocity of condemnation blasted against anyone who dared speak the obvious. Within days, even Conservative stalwarts were intimidated by the enormity of the leftist counterattack, and were backtracking with insipid terms such as “possible voting irregularities” in a futile effort to avoid becoming targets of leftist Democrat wrath.
Now, as the 2024 Presidential Election cycle intensifies, RINO sellouts share a common goal with the Democrats, which is to simply pretend the 2020 Election theft never happened. In textbook Alinsky fashion, the “conventional wisdom” is being pronounced with a professed degree of assurance and moral authority we may not have seen since Moses came down from Mount Sinai with those stone tablets. Anyone who dares treat the 2020 cycle of treason as anything less than “the most secure election in American history” is deemed the worst of heretics, and an imminent threat to “democracy.”
Thankfully, President Trump steadfastly refuses to back down. Moreover, the majority of the Republican base stands resolutely with him. The days of blind trust in the “nightly news” are over. Leftist propagandizing just doesn’t have the sway it once did, even if “mainstream” Republicans from inside the Beltway are still willing to play along with it. And it is this, more than any other aspect of who he is, that makes President Trump their greatest enemy; one that has to be silenced at all cost.
Hence the recent barrage of phony “indictments,” which themselves are the real criminality on the public stage. Having failed to shame President Trump into denying the truth of the stolen election (Trump is reflexively immune to the Alinsky strategy), the weaponized DOJ now targets him for prosecution. The sole purpose of this effort is to claim grounds for his “disqualification” to run in 2024. They fear he will once again rally the American people in massive numbers, and they cannot risk the possibility that another election theft might not succeed.
Regardless of how the left attempts to snuff out any light being cast on their treachery, or how RINOs posture and contort in their effort to aid and abet the left while claiming to be “Conservative,” Americans become more aware on a daily basis of just how devastating the 2020 coup has been to our Nation and its future. More than any individual issue, the power shift from a rigged “voting” system can potentially be irreversible.
With textbook predictability, the moment leftist Democrats seized the reins of power, they imposed their moral/spiritual depravity and instituted abhorrent policies with a fervor and brutality intended to fool the common man into believing that they actually had a “mandate.” From the devastation of America’s energy industry, to the obliteration of our Southern Border, to the circus freak show of lunatic Cabinet appointees, the message was that this was the “desired” direction of the Nation, according to the “will of the voter.”
Of course such outrages carry horrendous consequences, not only in the immediate, but also in the long term. The deliberate and treasonous Afghanistan withdrawal, while surrendering nearly $100 billion in military assets to the terrorist Taliban and costing untold innocent lives, revealed an America to the world that can no longer be trusted by foreign powers, no matter who is in office. It makes no sense to align with our Nation, even if a strong and principled leader holds office, only to have it instantly shift on a dime to the opposite direction during the next stolen election.
The Nation faces an incessant barrage of daily attacks on its economy, its international standing, its founding principles, and every aspect of what once made us great. To our horror, we witness the revolving door of massive outlays to Ukraine and other clearly illegal abuses of our national treasury. The list of felonies committed by Hunter, and the rest of the Biden Crime Family continues to grow. The hideous nature of child trafficking on such a massive scale screams of systemic corruption and thoroughly dirty “law” enforcement. Terrorists and drug cartel kingpins pour through the open Southern Border. Meanwhile, the Federal Government fixates on trampling your ability to own a gas stove if you so choose. None of this is happening by accident. The goal is to make the damage irreparable, and to silence any who might object.
By definition, those Republicans who refuse to acknowledge the stolen 2020 Election reveal their unwillingness to actually confront the evil tide that it represents. Thus a thoroughly politicized third-world kangaroo court can wage war against President Trump. Conversely, he knows from painful personal experience the extent of the problem, and the foundational need to address it.
We are often told that “Elections have consequences.” And to the degree that Americans have at times failed to grasp the nature of a looming threat, they have made bad choices at the ballot box, often resulting in bitter but valuable lessons for them. Yet if the leadership and direction of the Country can be forcibly and illegally wrested from their hands, a much worse fate awaits. The corrupt “system” simply will not fix itself. Stolen elections, if not rectified, can have fatal consequences.

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.
