I can’t laugh as we are moving to almost 6 acres in the GA foothills.

There is a woman on your computer who put a cam on when she made an underground bunker.

Just the woman and a pick.she finished, built a fire in the place she made for it, with a smoke exit.

She grilled a steak and veggie.. and rested

Here’s a thought: Let the stinking Europeans fight their own wars.

The Ukraine is not our friend, and not our problem.

Some IEDs Claymores, Barrett M82s in remote controlled mounts, and missile carrying drones would help.

What the last century taught is that eventually the war comes to us.

Your American/Russian Bund rally is in another castle.

Having lived in Rome and Athens, Ga. I can wish you the best of luck. Helen and Taccoa, Ga. Come to mind as wonderful places for retirement.

Private bunkers. Hows about protection from Antifa and BLM and commie crat Dems. Face facts. Criminal behavior is welcomed by Soros backed DAs.

Shades of the 1960s.

Just after the Cuban missile crisis the big thing was back yard fallout shelters. I am sure by now most of them have either been turned into “man caves” or dug up and filled in.

The 1993 film MANTINEE had an humorous take on shelters.

Good callback, loved that movie. And Kellie Martin was so beautiful in it too. Joe Dante is a bit underrated.

Yeah.... history shows that fortifications are largely useless since the demise of the castle in the 1500’s or so.

Cut Puerto Rico loose
Exile the fags to Hawaii
Greenies get Greenland
Deport all illegals
Let’s start prosecuting some politicians
Full investigation into Fauci and big pharma.
Kick the UN out of the USA
