- Watch The JD Rucker Show every day to be truly informed.
Many prominent personalities have been urging the president to do this, so here are the top reasons why he should step up to the challenge.
You could argue that our “betters” in the anti-liberty left are trying to destroy the country, or perhaps they are completely incompetent. Even the totally incompetent would have occasional success, so we’re thinking it’s the former. Either way, we need to change back to leadership that works, and we need it as soon as possible.
Having the House of Representatives elect President Trump as speaker would go a long way toward this goal. So, this is our reverse order listing of the top reasons President Trump needs to step up to the challenge.
1. Four words: State of the Union
Picture this: while Biden and Harris are still in office and delivering their interminable State of the Union addresses, Donald J. Trump can be sitting behind them as the last visual word on their BS. It’s even money they would cancel these political snooze fests for the duration.
2. The entertainment value of driving the nation’s socialist media insane
We can already hear your response that they lost the plot years ago, and you would be correct. Let’s face it: Robert Ballard is going to need to develop a new submersible to get to the depths of insanity that they’ve reached in recent years.
Their echo chambers have their own echo chambers.

Watching them lose it every night, whining about the death of democracy (because they aren’t in control), will be well worth the price of admission.
3. It will save billions from not having to bail out the nation’s socialist media
This goes right along with the previous point. We all know that the Democrats’ propaganda organ is going to need a bailout. We can remember those bygone days when they at least tried to pretend to be objective.
The nation’s socialist media are so blatant these days that you can imagine a latter-day Joseph Goebbels operating behind the scenes.
The people have taken notice, and their ratings are lower than a putrid stain under a dustbin. So it won’t be long until they look to their partners in crime for a bailout — from the government. But having Trump to whine about 24/7 could keep them afloat.
4. It throws a spanner into the plans of the anti-liberty left
It’s a lot more fun to take the initiative than remain passive.
We can only guess what the liberticidal leftists have in store for us. President Trump as the new speaker of the House will throw those carefully laid plans into chaos, and when we’re talking about liberty-destroying leftists, that’s always a good thing.
5. It will energize the pro-freedom electorate
The pro-freedom right needs every advantage it can muster against the anti-liberty left. The key is selecting those tactics that would have a selective effect of energizing the freedom community while driving the other side to distraction. Can anyone think of a better way to do that than the prospect of President Donald J. Trump as speaker of the House?
6. He can preside over “President” Biden and “Vice President” Kamala’s impeachments
Wouldn’t this make it all worthwhile? Anti-liberty leftists love to play the impeachment game. Well then let’s bring it on. Reading all the charges alone will take a few weeks.
Biden and Kamala have truly committed high crimes, not just misdemeanors. We could start with deliberately opening the border to an illegal invasion.
U.S. Constitution Article IV Section 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion[.]
Then go on from there, including Kamala, since she’s supposed to be in charge of this disaster, and she can’t even be troubled to visit the area or directly address the problem.
7. We can have a real investigation of Jan. 6
Do you ever get the impression that this is the liberticidal left’s version of the movie Groundhog Day? Except leftists never want it to end, and they are going to keep it up until they can get socialism to actually work or the end of time, whichever comes first.
Well, there’s an old axiom in guerrilla warfare that the only defense from an ambush is to immediately attack it. Thus, we should take the bull (in more ways than one) by the horns and investigate this sordid tale. We know that there won’t be any revelations of anything new about the pro-freedom side. So now is the time to look into what the anti-liberty left was doing that day.
Not to mention releasing all the video footage they suspiciously keep holding back.
8. It will be worth it to change history
Let’s face it: we are in a cage match for liberty. We have nowhere else to go. Ronald Reagan said it best: “If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.”
We need everyone to do his part, and if that means President Trump has to take a slight demotion for something that will only add to his ever-growing résumé, then that’s a small price to pay for saving humanity and saving the planet.
9. Michelle Obama is running for president in 2024
Please allow a slight digression to explain.
Anyone paying attention should realize that Biden’s first term is really Obama’s third — he’s just completing his heart’s desires from behind the scenes. The problem for them is that with “Brandon’s” rapid decline, it’s doubtful he’s going to make it to the end of his term, much less run again.
Michelle Obama is the ultimate stealth candidate, who would admittedly be formidable to President Trump.
There is also the threat of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running, among others. The point is that it would be far better to have Trump in power as speaker of the House and have a better contender positioned against them.
10. He can do something now to save the country
Look at where we are. Inflation is at a 40-year high, with the price of gas and diesel almost off the scale. The situation with food is so bad that even Biden has had to admit the truth. He’s opened the border to an illegal invasion and exacerbated the opioid crisis. He’s made a mockery of the rule of law. Our enemies have been emboldened around the world and are gearing up for nuclear war. We could easily add to the list by waiting five minutes for the next crisis to crop up.
Even his supporters can’t think of anything positive that he’s done, and that’s just after one year. Does anyone think we’ll get through 2 years, 6 months, and 18 days (but who’s counting) of this?

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.
