Here is a really short story that is pretty good.

 The Old Man

I think I posted the link to this story last year. In any event, I have placed it again.

The story, I think, may have some relevance to the readers of this and other blogs.

Very Strange

 Why Is the US Military Rationing Meals? They Have a $770 Billion Budget. What’s Going On?

This brings up more than one question to me. Is the money being used elsewhere? If so, why?

Is there enough food available to actually supply the ship? If not, why?

Memorial Day

 Memorial Day is a day to mourn our fallen.

I do. I mourn. 

I mourn for the fallen heroes of World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam, the ones that went to the Big Sand Box. And other conflicts after that. I mourn that their sacrifice has almost come to naught because of politics here in the former usofa.

But I also remember. I remember the ones who are here with us.

I remember my brother Kenneth. He was in the Navy Seals and went to vietnam twice, the last time in 1969. 53 years ago. And I am thankful that there were men like my brother who were willing to stand up to evil.

I remember my brother in law Joe. He was in the army as a cook. He went to vietnam and came back. Thank you lord. He is gone now, from cancer.

I remember my other brother in law Cookie. He lives in Michigan with my sister. He served as a Marine for several years. He didn't go to vietnam, thank God. But he stood ready to go if called. Men like him are not made anymore. That's a pity.

I think about my service in the navy from 1970 to 1976. My last 4 years were spent on the USS Enterprise. That ship participated in the evacuation of Saigon when that happened.

I think about my grandson Jarrod, who is stationed in Alaska right now. He is in the Army and is a paratrooper. His job is as a mechanic. And I think I hope this bullshit in russia and ukraine doesn't wind up involving him in it.

And here is an update to this chronicle, because I screwed up and left out my son in law Jeff.  He served 20 years in the Army Reserve. He trained whenever they told him to. A couple of years ago he went on a 9 month tour to Iraq, where he served in the hospital. He has retired from the reserve now.

I think about some of the people I served with on the ship. Ozzie, Bob, Al, Chief Larson, Fred.  I have lost contact with all of  them.

As I said, I mourn. But mostly I remember, and am thankful I have very few to mourn for.

When they tell us, we should listen to them.

 “The biggest question..what to do with all these USELESS people.

When the overlords tell us what they are going to do to get rid of us, maybe we should listen. Then hang them.

Officials admit first responders at Texas school should have acted sooner

What a waste.

Uvalde Shooter Fired Gun For 12 Minutes Outside School Before Entering 

Columbine shocked the nation and marked a shift in tactical philosophy: Police officers are now expected to enter buildings with active shooters as rapidly as possible, regardless of their equipment or training.

Every law enforcement officer in my home state of texas should hang their heads in shame. And look for another job.

Apparently it is true that they waited 40 minutes to enter the school. A border patrol agent apparently had his team there and they went in. That is just flat out wrong for them to wait like that.

40 minutes. The parents of those kids were begging the officers to go in, but instead they handcuffed the parents.

Also, some of the law enforcement officers were apparently able to enter the school to save their own kids. As stated by the dps guy in the video.

UVALDE: Where the Hell Were the Police?

 UVALDE: Where the Hell Were the Police?

I certainly hope this is not true. 

Why would police wait 40 minutes to go inside and kill this guy? If these guys did indeed wait that long, every one of them should go to jail.

I previously heard that a lone border patrol agent went in and did the deed. I don't know what is true at this point.

This summer may just get a little riled up.

 “Joe Biden can go on TV and not wait one minute before he blames Republicans and demands our guns be seized. That’s apparently ‘peace and unity.’ We respond and we’re riling people up,” Fine said. “If the president of the United States wants to politicize a tragedy, he should expect people to get angry in return.”

This summer and fall might get a little sporty if these arrogant fuck democrats continue trying to take away our guns and politicize the fuck out of everything.

Dickhead bato had to go to Gov. Abbots press conference on the school shooting and act all big and bad. What a twat he is.

The damn democrats don't get it. We ain't gonna sit on our sorry asses fillin out requisition forms for equipment we already got and are willing to use on those useless piece of skin holders.

And they want our bullets? Here they come at a few thousand feet per second.

Presidential Line of Succession

 Two of President Biden's Cabinet members are naturalized citizens (Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy, and Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security), making them ineligible to hold the office of U.S. president. Therefore, Biden's line of succession only has 16 members in it, instead of 18.

Tonight I am reading a post apocalytic world shortstory called Lariat Advance. It is not a world  award winner, but it is interesting enough for a saturday night.

This story has a nuclear attack in it, wherein the sitting president dies and is replaced by the Secretary of Veteran Affairs. I saw that and I thought that couldn't be right. 

But according to the article I linked to above that is indeed correct.

I didn't even know we HAD a secretary of veteran affairs. 

So I looked up the line of succession and let me tell you, this country is in pisspoor shape now with dementia joe and the ho. But if he dies and one of the idiots on that list replace him? We're gonna see a world of hurt to last 2 eternities. Dementia Joe is a flatout genius and 100% american compared to the REST of the people on that list.

God help us. No one else is going to.

Urea and Ammonium Nitrate are combined to make 32% which is what farmers apply to their field.

Each component used to make 32% is 50 to 60% higher then last year. The average cost per acre for corn inputs is 300 dollars more than it was last year and for soybeans just under 250 dollars more. Corn was $600ish to 700 an acre in 2021. Now 900 to 1000 input costs per acre.

Is the financial collapse many have been predicting starting now?

12 Nightmarish Economic Trends That We Should Expect To See During The 2nd Half Of 2022 

I have read quite a few shtf and teotwaki books who use financial collapse as the basis for the story.

I am wondering if the financial scenario the formerly great usofa is experiencing now is  like what I have read in the books.

Lookit, gas prices expected to average over 6 bucks a gallon by august.  Apparently somewhere in Washington state at least one gas station is programming their pumps to be able to read double digit gas prices.

Home sales are falling drastically. Which is bad for me because my wife and I have a small rental home we are painting that we want to sell. 

Inflation at what % right now. I don't know. 30% maybe. Food prices are rising daily.

Food shortages are being predicted worldwide this summer.

And who knows what else is happening.

I know I sound like a broken record, but now is the time. Now is the time to get enough food and water for your family to survive this coming fiasco.

TANSTAAFL

 

 

So let me get this straight. It takes between 21 to 35 days for a Russian oil tanker to get to US ports to be offloaded. 

It takes between 35 and 60 days for a tanker from the Middle East to make the same trek. 

It takes about 10 hours to load the tanker and up to 24 hours to unload. If it has to wait in port to get to an unloading dock, it can take up to 3 days. 

The average tanker burns 2,625 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. 22.38 pounds of CO2 are created from burning 1 gallon of diesel fuel. 

So, in one hour, a  tanker ship hauling oil to a refinery in the US creates 58,757.5 pounds of CO2 per hour. Averaging the travel time of the tankers, that's 27.67 million tons of CO2 per trip. 

In comparison, your car creates between 6 and 9 tons per year. 

Without going into all the equations of how many tankers come to the US per year, let alone our exports, will someone please explain to me how drilling our own oil and moving it through pipelines, along with importing oil from Canada via pipeline will not be more environmentally "green" for the world.

Please explain to me why buying oil from another country is good for the environment?? 

Or better yet how buying oil from another country is better than pumping our own oil??

There’s nothing green about this other than these elites are lining their pockets with green.

Hangman's Noose

 Well, I wanted to make a post about how to tie a hangman's noose. 

So I went to utube and found a short 1 minute video and I shared it here on the blog. 

Well, utube didn't like that and wouldn't allow it to be played here, you could only watch it on their tube. So, if you want to watch the video on how to tie a hangman knot, here is the link: Hangman's Noose.

The knot is relatively simple to tie, and has an infinite number of uses other than hanging someone.

To be a true hangmans noose I have always thought the knot had to contain 13 turns of the rope. But, doing an internet search to verify that proved futile. I only found one site out of about 20 that referenced turns of rope, and they said 9 to 13 were required.

I have practiced tying knots, but my memory is such that unless I do it several times daily every day I cannot remember the steps. Hopefully your memory is better than mine.

This is absolutely stunning.

How many truckers are going to be able to fill their tanks and drive to deliver to us the food we need to live? 

How much will that food cost after a truck delivers it? How much of that food will sit in trucks waiting to be delivered by a trucker who can't afford the fuel??

I said 6 months to a year, but even that may not be enough. We got 3 more years of this shit to go thru with dementia joe and  babblin kammy. They are doing great at screwing this country in the first 16 months, they may finish the job in the next 3 years. 

 

Good Morning

 

Holy crap gas is going up quick.

 The lovely Mrs. and I were down in fresno today.  On the way back home I was looking at gas prices at the various stations. 

For 87 octane, cash price, here are some of the prices we saw.

Sinclair    5.49 gallon

Valero      5.79 gallo.

Shell        6.15 gallon

Chevron   6.69 gallon

There is a 1.20 per gallon difference there.

For 14 gallons thats a difference of 16.80. Who in their right mind would go to chevron for that price?

Listening to the radio, the average gas price here in california is 6.02 per gallon. I believe that is the first time in history for that. 

Stupid joe and the ho.

Now is the time for you to consider what your energy needs are.

 The U.S. power grid is strained as-is, with disruption and outages becoming more frequent in many regions.

Do you know what your energy requirements at home are? If not, now is the time to look into that.

The fed gov is trying harder and harder to push people into using "renewable" electricity rather than fossil fuel or nuke. Because of that our nations energy grid is aging into disrepair and needs replacement in some areas. 

Supplying yourself with electricity is not very easy. But it can be done. Think to yourself what you would do if you have an extended energy blackout for some reason. Hurricane, tornado, earthquake, terrorist event or a grid operator just pissed because he didn't get the day off he wanted and decided to cause a problem.

Now is the time to do this for your family, Before you need to do this for your family.

“Twenty-five dollars,” said the barber.
“Twenty-five dollars, that’s crazy!” exclaimed the man. “I’ve hardly got any hair. How can it be that expensive?”
The barber explained, “It’s $5 for the actual cut and $20 for the search fee.”

Rotating My Gasoline Cans

 The last few weeks I have been doing a lot more driving than normal. Thus, I have occasion to rotate out my supply of gasoline I have stored.

I have seven 5 gallon cans I keep full. I add a product called Stabil which keeps the gas usable for a long time. I add 3 ounces per 5 gallons. 

I have another product I bought years ago that has enzymes in it to do the same job as stabil. But I have always been reluctant to use it.

The first can I rotated out was from sometime in 2019. I added that to my truck and then filled it up and had no problems with it at all. 

I have one more can to go, which is dated November of 2021. Then I will relax until about this time next year and start over again.

That is assuming I am still around next year. The way things are going around here I may take a drive to the Rockies and jump off a cliff.

  Power Grid Operators Warn Of Potential Electricity Shortages Amid Transition To Clean Energy

Do you want to go back to being a country with no electricity? I sure as hell don't.

But the damn democrat environmentalist assholes are doing their level best to drag the whole former usofa into third world shithole status with their "sustainable renewable energy" crap.

The green weenies(back in the day that was the name of a plastic bass fishing worm here in central california) want solar panels and wind energy to be our primary methods of making electricity. Except those are unreliable at best, and don't work efficiently at worst. For centralized energy distribution that is. If you use those methods for your single family home, you will be miles ahead of your neighbors, who will want to come live with you during energy blackout periods.

If you want to help your family and yourself, you should immediately start investing in methods to generate your own electricity for your home and family. 

It really isn't that complicated of a thing to do.

Not only were gas prices at the lowest level in decades, overall inflation was near 0%, stock prices were at record highs, unemployment was at a half-century low, shelves were stocked, crime was low, and no pointless wars were erupting around the world.

 Car owner who left Jeep at dealership gets sued after worker dies during oil change

I saw this story over at Irons in the Fire and I have much difficulty understanding this.

The lawyer for the family man killed says he can't sue the dealership, so he has to sue the cars owner. Bullshit. That is the same thing as someone suing a gun manufacturer. 

I don't understand why the dealership can't be sued. "He didn't know how to drive a stick, and he had no license," the attorney said.

So the employee was apparently incapable of driving a car, then why the hell was he allowed to drive a car? That sounds like negligence to me.
