President Obama on Friday turned prepper, with a proclamation regarding National Preparedness Month that warned emergencies, “from hurricanes and wildfires to cyber and terrorist attacks, can strike anywhere at any time.”
In his proclamation, he said each household should have its own plan.
“Before emergencies occur, we must make sure we are ready to respond, and it is every American’s responsibility to be prepared. There are simple but important steps we can all take to ensure we know what to do and have what we need in the event of a crisis. National Preparedness Month is an opportunity to talk with our families, friends, and colleagues about the risks in our communities and to practice our responses in all the places we regularly visit.”
He said Americans “should be familiar with local threats and hazards and take steps to reduce their devastating impacts.”
“Families should assemble a disaster supplies kit well in advance and have a plan to reconnect after a tragedy,” the president said.
He said his administration has invested “billions of dollars” in disaster relief.
“We bolstered coordination with our local, state, tribal, and territorial partners to cut through red tape and kept our commitment to rebuild stronger and fully recover together. We are harnessing our nation’s innovative spirit to develop new tools and technologies that will empower survivors and better inform Americans before, during, and after an emergency.”
And he boasted of launching “America’s PrepareAthon!” to help with readiness.

I have a friend who actually met a man in Colorado who introduced himself as Dick Head. My friend is very proper and she almost died of embarrassment.
Then there is that guy in Santa Fe NM named Peter Handler. Mr Handled had a liquor store with his name in 2 foot tall letters on it. I thought it was a joke name but then I saw his picture in the paper. He was real ya’ll! :)
Trying to convince us to stockpile goods for FEMA to confiscate after they shoot us or imprison us?
Exes always do keep it classy...
Don’t barter with liquor. The guy will get drunk and think it’s a great idea for him and his other drunk buddies to shop for more at the known supply house aka your house.
Hey, LooterGuy gots skillz...
Eggs Ackley. The liar-in-chief has been told that the government cannot stockpile sufficient supplies to feed the inner city vermin voters, so now the burbs will be martialed to store the rest needed. MRAPs will be used to go and collect the supplies when the time comes for final empowerment of fedzilla.
Now, now, don’t you understand that Ferguson has been on the prepping bandwagon the last few weeks stocking up on tee vees, booze and swisher sweets?
IIRC, the rule of thumb is brown bugs are edible but stay away from green ones.
Just heard a new song that is going to be part of the Kwanzaa celebration this year. It’s called:
The Twelve Days of Rioting
30-06? Browning
The green one just aren't ripe yet. :)
I have read that all swimming insects are fair game.
I’m not worried about an attack or disaster for a few days! I’m still trying to get through the last 6 years of an idiot ruining my country!
B. Hussein O. as president is a national emergency...
Yes they were.
google “bushmaster 90821 hunter”
Think of it as a personal semi-SAW.
Ah, but they’ll be drunk but you and your buddies will have all the shotgun rounds to put them down.
30-06 or 7.62X51,either one does fine.Personally,I like a remington 700 HB or my M1A National Match.Both are real efficient at putting the bullet where it will do the most good.
Bright colored ones and shiny ones tend to be bad. At least that’s what they told me in survival school.
Knew a truck driver in Akron named Dick Small.(No I’m not making this up)
I bet he hated those forms that required last name first,first name last.
I have a browning bar 30-06. Only a 5 Rd magazine as its designed for hunting but it’ll do.
