For starters, we need to always remind ourselves that while Joe Biden was once again put forth as the sock puppet of the current presidential charade, he is not personally responsible for a single stance or policy being inflicted on America by the Cabal in the White House. It is beyond reason to play along with the pretense that he had any other genuine input into the vile message he delivered on September 1. Nobody with even a modicum of sense believes he determined a particular course of action, or oversaw a single syllable of how his address was crafted.
It does no good to direct our outrage at Ol’ Joe for the obscenity we witnessed, while the noxious players who put forth the entire event remain in obscurity and thus avoid culpability. Real America was subjected to a venomous attack that was intended to stoke anger against it and marginalize those who reject both the sham “election” that put this Cabal into power, and the legitimacy of their consistently disastrous policies that have ensued ever since. And from the raging inflation, to the shortages of basic commodities, to the needless death and suffering from the lockdown lunacy, to the treasonous betrayal of Americans in the Afghanistan debacle, if the perpetrators are ever to be held to account, the spotlight of guilt will have to reach far beyond Biden.
The same goes for the abhorrent effort to instigate a war of suppression against Middle America last Thursday. It did not come from that mindless pallid specter at the podium but from those who manipulate him to their own personal ends. The scripted ranting and raging was all their doing. The words of attack and divisiveness are their standard operating procedure, and the means by which they have amassed power among the lowest, most gullible, and most pernicious members of society. It’s who leftists are, and how they operate.
Of course all of this was predictably couched in the unfettered arrogance and presumptions of inherent superiority that completely define them. While hurling alarmist accusations at people who honorably go to work, plant the crops, raise their children, and mine the resources to keep the Nation thriving, the Biden speech asserted that it is the American left who uphold the Constitution, the rule of law, and the “will of the people.”
Throughout the seething tirade, the consistent underlying message sought to establish official condemnation of those who reject the “legitimacy” of the stolen 2020 presidential election. Americans who refuse to ignore the flagrant vote manipulation and cheating that was plainly evident on election night, and has only been further bolstered by amassed evidence ever since, are now deemed to be working to “undermine democracy itself.” Translation: Those who believe their own eyes over and above the leftist narrative are enemies of the state. This is not a script from some cheap dystopian movie thriller. It is right out of the playbook of tinhorn despots.
Despite the efforts of the leftist Democrat/Fake News media axis to portray the event as the work of an impassioned and principled national leader, valiantly fighting for his country to rally and unify it around a worthy cause, the episode has proven to be a total fiasco, in every respect, for those who concocted it. From the intensity of the screed being spewed by Biden, to his pathetic, rehearsed gesticulation, to the attempt at creating a mood of fierce national purpose and resolve with the bizarre lighting and Marines (who undoubtedly were acting under orders) immovably standing guard behind “Herr Leader,” the real effect was one of a poorly contrived parody, were its implications not so grave for the Country.
Public reaction was anything but that desired by those who perpetrated the affair. Expectations by the left that those who were attacked in the speech would be humiliated and intimidated into silence were naively short sighted. Rather than shaming or scaring Americans into acquiescence to the “New Order,” it has steeled the resolve of Patriots across the land in a manner that has rarely been seen outside of foreign surprise attacks, such as Pearl Harbor and 9-11. Americans are making their voices unmistakably heard, loudly condemning it as further proof of just how unhinged and dangerous leftist Democrats have become.
The Biden Cabal, much to their dismay, immediately found themselves in “damage control” mode, hardly carrying their expected momentum forward to crush the MAGA movement as they had planned to do, in the wake of the speech. Rather, in the face of enormous backlash from “We the People,” they are frantically trying to defend themselves from righteous denunciations by decent Americans, for their insidious attempts to establish themselves as dominant beyond accountability. They even put forth Ol’ Joe himself, early the next day, to essentially recant and deny what he had spoken so plainly only a few hours earlier. And the backtracking has not ceased ever since.
The most profound aspect of this abominable spectacle has yet to receive the coverage that it deserves. While the intent of the Cabal was clearly to portray its impregnable strength and dictatorial power over the Nation, it actually revealed the exact opposite. This was not the behavior of a leadership that believed itself to be spearheading a grand movement for America. This was not the behavior of a government that is confident in deriving its authority by “the consent of the governed.”
Rather, its behavior embodies the total desperation and paranoia of a failed regime. Having not been genuinely brought to power, and proving from day one to be miserably inept in all of its policies, both foreign and domestic, the Biden Cabal faces the serious prospect of an electoral drubbing this November, barring even more massive cheating than was perpetrated to steal the White House in 2020. And people are watching much more closely this time.
So while the Nation is right to be outraged and affronted by the disgusting pretense of power last week, the real message that needs to be gleaned is that the American people are not yet subjugated to this evil onslaught. We still have a voice, and the vicious but flailing efforts of leftist Democrats to snuff out the lamp of liberty are not yet fulfilled. Now is the time to speak truth to the leftist enemy, more loudly than ever.

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.
Great piece by Christopher Adamo.. Thank you sir!
Agree, whole-heartedly!
