Prophet McGee called this one years ago.

And here’s my question. It’s 100% predictable that if SNAP stops abruptly one day, people will take it to the streets in a big way.

So if that is the case, can we assume that BOTH parties are ok with the very predictable outcome?

Grocery shopping and then a stop for more ammo.

“When the hunger begins to bite, supermarkets, shops and restaurants will be looted, and initially the media will not condemn the looting. Unfortunately, this initial violence will only be the start of a dangerous escalation.”

Not an unlikely scenario, so why aren’t we preparing for it with some heavy protection of grocery stores and some serious punishment dished out if and when it first breaks out.

This has to be nipped at the bud or else it’ll pandemonium.

What gets me is how healthy riots are for the body politik. The rioters get it out of their system and life goes on. People act as if rioting is the end of the world.

Many riots have occurred over the last 100 years and America just keeps on ticking. I do believe respect for law must be restored, including judges who gleefully disrespect the law daily to satisfy their very own personal feelings.

“Sadly, millions of Americans have been made largely, or even entirely, dependent on government wealth transfer payments to put food on their tables.”

As a wise man once said, “you better think ten times before you hand out bennies, because if you ever take them away you’ll have the pains of hell to pay” .

Kill cell service in the hood: no more flash mobs. Turn off the power, water and gas and make them march out subject to search.

Food stamp programs subsidize producers and retailers, not the poor, especially the obese ones.

An inordinate number of food stamp recipients sell them at a fraction of the value so they can buy things not approved with food stamps.

The government is completely in on the racket as a seed program to direct taxpayer money into communities that otherwise would revert to either "Escape From New York" if urban or "The Road Warrior" if rural.

When I read this back in 2012 or so, I had a strong feeling it was more prophetic than musing.

November 1 will show the level of Democrat disdain for citizens. November 2 will show the level of incapability that law enforcement has to protect shop owners.

Thoughts of a possible scenario by Matt. If that materializes, even Zohran the man with a plan will fail. Stock up, load up, stay armed, stay safe, stay alive. About 12% of Americans receive SNAP. The percentage of those that are armed are much lower. Eliminate the leaders of that mob. Assist those who truly need it whenever possible.

Virginia’s governor is covering it. Democrat governors will just let it ride out

Soros types feed MSM to provide the fuel, the matches and the hate...but only when a Republican is in office.

Two words for these cretins...

I remember back in the 60’s it was a no no to get commodities from the government, or even get an unemployment check. My father worked construction jobs and many times you were not working due to your portion of the job was finished. My father would not follow the construction company if they moved out of town for a new project, thus there were times when money scarce. He had no choice but to sign up for unemployment and get commodities. Commodities were actual food (think government cheese). This brought my brothers and I shame when people at school found out. We were ostracized by the other kids and I will never forget the shame of kids pointing us out
I don’t see how we have entire generations that living on Welfare and food stamps and are not bothered by the fact that they did not earn it.

Does anyone know how Bracken is these days?
His last post was last year. Just curious.

I think that some want total chais. Trump is getting folks on record as not wanting Federal/Nat Guard participation. Very shrewd.
