(WND)—Progressives are a boorish lot. They are contradictions to the reality they claim to represent. Their bastardized mantra of inclusion fails to exhibit the tangible outcomes defined as even modest examples of success. They are churlish Mohocks who use their ill-gotten positions as cudgels.
The Biden-Harris-Obama administration is the picture perfect representation of all such failure. Diversity, equity and inclusion were the official mantra for what they presented as proof of concept. In truth, those “given” such positions were proof-positive representations of failure that is consistent with those whose skill sets are based upon being homos, lesbos and dumbos.
Of all the White House press secretaries, Karine Jean-Pierre has been without equal in the failed performance of the position she held. But, in her mind and in her own words, she being the press secretary made her a historic figure. In reality, she was unqualified and an unmitigated failure on every quantifiable level.
Her only redeeming qualities and indeed the only reason she was hired is because she is a lesbian with the proper complexion and presumably a woman.
California’s commitment to place homos, lesbos and dumbos in critical positions has showcased an unparalleled absence of skill, understanding of how to perform the jobs they were given, and disdain for propriety and decorum.
Karen Bass, mayor of Los Angeles, was on urgent business in Africa while Los Angeles was burning to the ground. Gavin Newsom the failure who masquerades as governor of California made his prime-time appearance. Unfortunately, his skill sets are bleached teeth and coiffed hair, neither of which have any leadership value in the midst of firenados and uncontrolled raging infernos of biblical proportions.
And, if the rumors are true, Kamala Harris will probably be the next governor of California. If she runs, she will be elected, because the political class of California gives clear relevance to the late George Kelly’s studies on “Personal Construct Theory,” which argues: Psychological disorder is any personal construction used repeatedly in spite of consistent invalidation; i.e., repeating the same thing failure after failure, is a psychological disorder.
In brief, it is a truism that progressivism, like liberalism, is a mental disorder.
But, that sums up the extent of the progressives’ combined skill sets. They are graduates of the reputed finest institutions, but going to a heretofore academically respected learning institution is nothing more than an assignation today juxtaposed to what same represented in times past.
Affirmative action and the right connections are the qualifiers for entrance into Harvard, Yale, Columbia and the so-called top schools today. The students attending same are not educated; they are inculcated with lies, hatred for America and menticide.
The caricatures that filled the Biden-Obama political landscape are disgraceful reminders of the once-great American institutes of learning.
As I said during a discussion several days ago, the California progressive ruling class will not learn from the mistakes that have led to the devastation they are now confronted with; they will double down, arguing that the disaster is the result of their progressivism not going far enough, which is exactly what they are now doing.
Nero may have fiddled as Rome burned, but the California progressives led by Newsom have amassed a $50 million war-chest to underwrite legal defenses aimed at fighting President Trump’s policy efforts.
California wants you and me to foot the bill for the irresponsible negligence of the progressives they continue to elect.
Being a homo or a lesbo does not encase a skill set to be a skilled leader. And, being a dumbo by definition diminishes the requisite management/leadership skills. Yet, those are the abominable practices the Biden-Obama camarilla applaud and promote.
Pete Buttigieg, Biden’s transportation secretary, accomplished less than nothing in his official capacity, and truth being told, he didn’t have to. He was the first homo guy in his position. That was all the skill set he needed. Just ask the people of Ohio. I’m certain they will applaud his deviancy as the quality they needed when Pete the pervert failed them following multiple train derailments. And let us not forget his failure with the airlines. But, he is a homo, and that trumps being competent.
It is the demonic perversion of the wholly amoral that has progressives and their ilk serenade songs of mythical achievements for homos, lesbos and dumbos.
Speaking of dumbos, is there any more accomplished one than Kamala Harris? The ability to read words on a screen with a minimum of blinking is not scholardom. But, don’t tell the ever-diminishing number of Rachel Maddow viewers.
It is the furthest thing from ipse dixit to argue that the Obama woman and her husband are the other version of the Clintons. They hate one another, but stay together for the sake of mutual convenience. The sick sexual practices we hear about these four Fabian progressives takes perversion to new heights.
But, their grotesque deviance is not synonymous with good leadership, even though progressives would have us confuse the two.
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.
