We’re living in a clown world right now, but you already knew that. They say evil is good. Light is dark. Up is down. In is out. The only thing consistent is that left is invariably wrong.
Our clown world is accentuated by it being crunch time in presidential election season. There is definitely a bit of strife in the Republican Party as RINOs, NeoCons, and NeverTrumpers cling to their philosophies while trying to build back their fading GOP base. But the GOP turmoil is the purest calm possible when compared to the ideological earthquakes happening in the Democrat Party.
Nothing highlights how much the Democrat Party has diverged from its base better than the endorsements that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have been able to accumulate over the past couple of weeks.
On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I’ll be discussing the top five endorsements that the Harris-Walz ticket has not only received, but somehow have gotten away with touting. Is Trump Derangement Syndrome so strong in the average Democrat that they’re unwilling to acknowledge that their party is in bed with those they used to consider to be enemies?
Actually, yes. Yes it is. Let’s look at the new icons of the Democrat Party…
Intelligence Community
The CIA, NSA, and spooks across America are now beloved by Democrats. Why? Because over 700 of them penned a lovely endorsement of Kamala Harris. According to The Hill:
More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris in her run for the White House, with some leaders expressing concerns about former President Trump’s “scary authoritarian streak.”
“Vice President Harris has all the leadership qualities needed to be a strong commander in chief. She’s prepared. She’s strategic. She’s understands all sides of an issue,” retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Michael Smith told The Hill. “We saw as much during the debate.”
“As we’ve seen for nearly a decade, however, former President Trump has none of those qualities, and he has a scary authoritarian streak,” Smith, who is also the president of National Security Leaders for America, added.
There are two reasons this is being promoted by the Harris campaign instead of swept under the rug. First, it appeals to low-information voters who still think the CIA is trying to stop another 9/11 while the FBI is here to fight crime. Second, it includes many of the “heroes” who helped cover up the Hunter Biden laptop a little less than four years ago.
Big Banking
If there was ever an example of people sticking their heads in the sand, it’s in the Democrats’ acceptance of multiple big banks endorsing the Kamala Harris economic plan. These ignorant voters have no idea what’s in the plan, but it has apparently been revealed behind closed doors to “important” people like Mark Cuban and executives in the big banks.
Let’s stop and think about that for a moment. Democrat voters who once shunned the Republican Party because they felt they were too cozy with big banks and corporate America are now touting Harris’ secret economic plan because it’s being embraced by big banks and corporate America.
Goldman Sachs has gone so far as to call for a Democrat sweep to give them control of the House, Senate, and White House. According to Reuters:
U.S. economic growth would likely get the biggest boost in the coming two years from the Democrats, headed by Kamala Harris, winning the White House and Congress in this November’s elections, according to Goldman Sachs.
Under a Republican sweep, or even with a divided government led by Donald Trump, economic output would take a hit next year, mostly from increased tariffs on imports and tighter immigration policies, Goldman said in a note late on Tuesday.
The new Democrat motto should be, “Trust the Bankers because they’ll totally do what’s best for the little guy and they don’t care about making more money for themselves!”
Vladimir Putin
Here’s an endorsement that isn’t being touted by the Harris campaign but they’re not running from it, either. In fact, their leaving it in ambiguous territory by letting journalists pretend Vladimir Putin was joking when in reality he was dead serious.
Here’s what he said:
As for my preferences [in the U.S. election], it is not up to us to decide. After all, the American people will have to make their own choice. As I have already said, we favoured Mr Biden, the current President, but they took him out of the race. That said, he advised his supporters to support Ms Harris. So, we will act accordingly and lend her our support.
Snopes claimed nobody is taking the endorsement seriously, but here’s the thing. Considering they spent the last half of the 2016 campaign and the first half of Trump’s first term trying to claim Russia was helping him, it’s disingenuous for them to now ignore when the leader of Russia says they “will act accordingly and lend her our support.”
The Cheneys and the Military Industrial Complex
Both Liz Cheney and her infamous father, Dick, endorsed Harris for two reasons. First, as card-carrying members of the Military Industrial Complex, it behooves them and the organizations they consult with to see the foreign policies of Joe Biden and Barack Obama continue under a Harris regime.
Second and perhaps more importantly, they know that if Trump gets back into the Oval Office he might be able to uncover the depths of the conspiracy to take him out through the January 6 psyop. Liz Cheney was deeply embedded in that conspiracy and would be first in line to go to jail if a Trump administration can uncover the truth.
But Democrats don’t seem to care. They have forgotten that at one point they hated Vice President Cheney even more than they hated his alleged boss, President George W. Bush. One can argue that over the past two decades, Dick Cheney is the only politician hated more than Trump, an albatross he wears because he’s hated by both Democrats and many Republicans.
Today’s Democrat Party thinks the Cheneys are swell since they endorsed their champion.
The IRS
Is it possible to get more comical than the Harris campaign proudly promoting the endorsement from the tax collectors? The IRS may be the most universally disliked bureaucratic apparatus in Washington DC. Democrats over the decades have been particularly harsh in their condemnation, but they’re letting bygones be bygones following the latest endorsement of Harris.
According to mrcTV:
The union that represents the nation’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents announced Wednesday that it is endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris for president in this year’s election.
Vice President Harris has played a role in “one of the most pro-labor administrations in history,” the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) explained in a press release announcing its decision.
Imagine being a Democrat candidate and getting the endorsement of the union representing IRS agents but not getting an endorsement from the national Teamsters. It’s an organized labor bloodbath and we’re watching it happen in real time, but unfortunately the vast majority of low-information voters have no idea.
This is why it is SO important to do what we can to spread the word. Share this article. Talk to anyone you can. Watch today’s show and have others do the same. Unless we get enough people, particularly Independents and open-minded Democrats, to realize how insane a Harris-Walz regime would be, we leave the door open for more election shenanigans than we saw in 2020.

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.
