Dear Friends: 2020 has certainly been quite a year so far, and a defining one for the preparedness movement. No longer are our stockpiles of rice, beans, and hand sanitizer objects that make us strange. Our stashes of TP would make us the envy of the neighborhood if, of course, anybody knew we had it. So many of the things and beliefs that made us figures of mockery in the past are now proving their value. We’re learning, with a mixture of relief and perhaps dismay, that we weren’t so crazy after all. When the first lockdown began, we weren’t...

President Donald Trump promised Wednesday to sign an executive order that would require health care providers to provide medical care to all babies born alive as he makes an election-year push to appeal to voters who oppose abortion. The White House did not release further details about the order, but Trump’s announcement follows numerous attempts by GOP lawmakers in Washington and in state capitals around the country to pass legislation that threatens prison for doctors who don’t try to save the life of infants born alive during abortions. Organizations representing obstetricians and gynecologists say the law already provides protections to...

First let me preface by saying I apologize if too much personal info but I didn't know who to ask. My father just got put into the hospital with either bladder/kidney or prostrate issue. They found blood in the urine. They catheterized him but he is still feeling the incredible pressure/pain where he feels he needs to urinate constantly and he hasn't slept for days (driving him crazy). The nurses and doctor say this is normal. When a man gets catheterized do men still continue to feel pressure and pain? With women it takes the pressure away but the doctor...

A resurfaced interview that CBS News conducted with Amy Coney Barrett in 2016 shows the former law clerk for Associate Justice Antonin Scalia warning against making changes that would "dramatically flip the balance of power" on the Supreme Court in an election year. Barrett is reportedly one of President Donald Trump's top picks to replace Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week. At the time the interview originally aired, Scalia's death had caused a stir in Congress as senators debated whether it was appropriate to confirm the late justice's replacement in an election year during which the country...

President Donald Trump on Wednesday again declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 presidential election. “We’re going to have to see what happens,” Trump said at a news conference, responding to a question about whether he’d commit to a peaceful transfer of power. “You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.” It is highly unusual that a sitting president would express less than complete confidence in the American democracy’s electoral process. But he also declined four years ago to commit to honoring the...

The six U.S. Air Force B-52s that deployed from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to the Royal Air Force base at Fairford back in August have set another intelligence trap for Russian forces in the Black Sea region—possibly their biggest yet. On Wednesday, one of the eight-engine bombers—call sign “Hero 31”—winged over the Black Sea near the Ukrainian and Romanian coasts, briefly joining up with Ukrainian air force MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters. The bomber reportedly made a mock attack run on the Ukrainian city of Odessa before turning toward Romania. “Our team from @TeamMinot has been busy!” U.S....

Everything the media and lawyer Ben Crump claimed about the death of Breonna Taylor and the circumstances around her death was based on lies. The officials in Kentucky allowed a mountain of lies to grow until the evidence was finally presented to a grand jury and the Kentucky Attorney General was forced to admit the truth. According to evidence revealed at a press conference by AG Daniel Cameron, the police executed a search warrant by knocking on the door. Breonna Taylor and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker refused to answer the door after the police identified themselves. The police broke down...

The Democrats’ vow to “burn everything down” if they don’t get their way is allegedly being fulfilled. Last night in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, unknown arsonists attacked the home of two Trump supporters, burning the family’s garage and several vehicles and destroying a large Trump sign in their yard: As shown in one of those photos, the arsonists apparently spray painted “Biden 2020,” “BLM” and the Antifa symbol on a garage wall. This is the Brooklyn Center Police Department’s press release: A GoFundMe page has been set up for the Molla family. On Facebook, liberals are claiming that the Mollas set...

President Trump wished Prince Harry "a lot of luck" with wife Meghan Markle after a reporter asked about the royal couple's endorsement of Democratic nominee Joe Biden during a Wednesday press conference. “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chimed in on the U.S. election and essentially encouraged people to vote for Joe Biden. I wanted to get your reaction to that," a reporter noted to Trump. "I’m not a fan of hers. And I would say this: and she probably has heard that. I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he's going to need it," Trump replied with a...

If there was some feeling over the last couple of weeks that Donald Trump was moving in the right direction electorally, we now have more empirical evidence to back that up.ABC News has released their latest state polling and the President has now taken the lead in two key states, pointing to a race that is tightening and moving in Trump’s direction as Joe Biden continues to hide in his basement most days. Biden still leads Trump with support among registered hispanic voters in the states — a voting group w/ a diversity of opinions.In Florida, his 13-point lead trails...
