Re: The Relentless Pursuit of Donald Trump

We'll see how things go for all of those DA's after their foolishness gets Trump elected. I will be brutally honest in my response. Whether their "foolishness" gets Mr. Trump elected is not their concern. Their focus is on securing their position and getting ready for promotion to a higher...

Re: What have you done this week to forward your prepping goals 2024?

I was taking academic classes locally and had special office supplies for the same. In person classes at the local JC, State College and University were cancelled 4 years ago and in person classes have not been restarted. I guess administrators, professors and teachers found it easier not to physica...

Re: What have you done this week to forward your prepping goals 2024?

Many years ago I put a sprinkler system on the house and the garage. Inverted sprinkler system. Originally, I was told that it was possible to do a remote turn-on/turn-off system by telephone. When push came to shove, that person disappeared and I did a manual turn-on/turn-off system and showed a ne...

Re: What have you done this week to forward your prepping goals 2024?

Over the years, I have used blood stop twice. When I travel by car or plane I always have a tourniquet and an Israeli bandage with bloodstop available. Purchased another 4 units. I researched my fire extinguishers and had my fire service come out to recharge units, sell me another unit. I also carry...

Re: The Relentless Pursuit of Donald Trump

Going back to the first post: 1. DAs pick and choose what cases they file. 2. Sometimes budget is a factor. Sometimes publicity is a factor. 3. Generally people watch too much television wherein everything is wrapped up in 1/2 hour or 1 hour, the good guys always win. It doesn't hurt to prosecute a ...

Re: The Relentless Pursuit of Donald Trump

No, I don't expect people to figure it out. Most people go through life never questioning their assumptions or indoctrination. They engage in inductive reasoning (rather than deductive reasoning) to come to conclusions. They value "truth" over the "facts". As Bob Dylan said: You ...

watches

I am only going to address watches within a group situation . . . not the best one for combat . . . not the best one for putting on a dive helmet and descending 200 feet down in the ocean. If you truly think that you and your family and your group can by with a cell phone, skip reading this. KISS pr...

Re: Farm Freedom

The backyard is hilly, part of a standard urban lot. Prior to 1988, it was planted wild flowers. Afterwards, a portion was a raised garden. When my son developed an interest in tropical trees, I had them hauled in and planted. Today, there are one each of pomegranate, lime, chevomoya, Santa Rosa plu...

Re: Grow Lots of Tomatoes... Not Leaves // Complete Growing Guide

I did not have luck trying to start tomatoes from store bought seeds. So, I picked up 5 free tree black plastic containers and added them to what I already had, bought 3 pony packs. 17 cherry tomato plants are thriving. This time around, I put a nice layer of peat moss at the top of each container t...
