Joe Biden has done more damage to this country than any president in American history.
We are embroiled in conflicts and proxy wars around the world. Other nations no longer respect us. Our once-great economy is in shambles. Millions of undocumented and unvetted immigrants illegally cross our borders. Trust and confidence in government is at an all-time low, and violent crime is skyrocketing. Meanwhile, Biden, his handlers and the gun-ban industry are inching closer toward their ultimate goal of total civilian disarmament.
There is a growing sense of unease in the country. For many, it seems like our nearly 250-year-old Republic is teetering toward disaster
Long story short, we are not safe and Joe Biden’s policies are making us less safe.
One thing is certain: Even if Biden loses his reelection bid, it will take years to undo the damage he has caused. We will be living with the threats Biden has created long after he has shuffled back to his beach chair in Delaware.
Recognize the Threat
Never before have Americans faced the variety of threats we see now. We could be incinerated in a flash, because our enemies possess nuclear weapons, from ICBMs to small, portable tactical nukes. Iran has moved closer to achieving a nuclear weapon under Biden than ever before.
The millions of illegal aliens that Biden has allowed across our borders include gang members, cartel gunmen and actual terrorists who are members of international terrorist groups such as ISIS-K, the jihadist group now active in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which now has access to 176 artillery pieces, 64,363 belt-fed machine guns, 126,295 handguns and of course 358,530 select-fire assault rifles – real assault weapons – that were left behind during Biden’s hasty and ill-conceived retreat.
No one within the Administration has ever commented on the more than two divisions of Chinese military-age males who infiltrated our country unabated. Their marching orders and ultimate goals are known only to Chinese Communist Party leaders in Beijing.
Taking a page from Fidel Castro’s playbook, Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro emptied his prisons and asylums and pointed his inmates north. Americans are being raped and murdered solely because the Biden-Harris administration allowed these monsters into the country. None were vetted as the administration falsely claimed because, of course, we cannot background anyone from Venezuela. Their government does not accept queries from ICE.
Even our finest warfighters are worried.
“We are gravely concerned by the current heightened risk of terrorist attacks against targets inside the United States and both U.S. and allied interests abroad. Our complete withdrawal from Afghanistan, without a viable stay-behind or over-the-horizon counterterrorism and intelligence capability to suppress threats, has created a vacuum in the region in which anti-American terrorist groups, such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, are flourishing once again,” the Special Operation Association of America, which represents thousands of Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Raiders, Air Force Air Commandos, and other special operators, wrote in a recent statement.
Trust and confidence in government is at an all-time low. Our military is struggling to recruit, and most law enforcement agencies cannot find, much less hire, qualified applicants. As a result, violent crime is skyrocketing, which Biden strenuously denies. He points to juked stats and faulty data as proof, but Americans know the truth. They see it with their own eyes.
Many Americans now realize no one is coming to help. They are their own First Responders, which explains why gun sales remain strong.
Stay informed
It is not easy to track events taking place within our borders or around the world, but it is vital. Any intelligence, much less accurate threat analysis, is necessary but difficult to obtain. The corporate media has proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted to speak the truth. They haven’t even connected the dots on the spate of illegal aliens who are committing rapes and murders nationwide, and they refuse to tie this growing crime trend to the Biden-Harris administration. That could harm Biden’s reelection chances – which they will never do. Trust the legacy media at your own peril.
The Annual Threat Assessment, or ATA, used to be a must-read document. It is the Intelligence Community’s yearly report and analysis of worldwide threats to our national security, an “unclassified summary the Intelligence Community’s evaluation of current threats to U.S. national security, including cyber and technological threats, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, crime, environmental and natural resources issues, and economic issues.” Unfortunately, since Biden took office, the intelligence contained in the ATA appears to be watered-down.
There are websites and individuals who speak the truth, despite attempts by the Administration to marginalized them as a fringe group and censor them online. Seek these sites out before they’re shadow-banned or completely silenced.
A good example is HeyJackass!, which tracks shootings, murders and other crimes in the Chicago area, and is a must-read for anyone headed to the Windy City. Since Jan. 1, according to the website, 242 people have been shot and killed and 1,161 have been shot and wounded.
Another intel source is the Crime Prevention Research Center, which is operated by Dr. John R. Lott, Jr. Any crime data from the CPRC or vetted by Dr. Lott can be trusted.
Seek competent instruction
If you don’t know how to operate a handgun, take a basic pistol course. If you want to carry a concealed firearm, take a concealed-carry class. But if you want to learn how to defend yourself and your family against real threats, you should seek competent instruction from experienced people who specialize in such training.
Fortunately, we live in the Golden Age of firearm instruction. The Global War on Terror produced hundreds of extremely qualified tactical instructors, who don’t teach from a textbook or bother with certificates or certifications. They’re too busy teaching their students how to win gunfights. Delta veteran Bob Keller was one of the first to offer his real-world training and experience to students.
A Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) certification is a good place to learn how to control a bleed. TCCC was designed by the Department of Defense for forces deploying overseas. There are three tiers. Tier 1 can be taught in just eight hours. The D-Dey Response Group teaches TCCC and other tac-med courses, and their instructors are all former Special Forces medics (18-Deltas) with real-world experience.
Protect the Second Amendment
The Second Amendment is under constant attack, and must be protected. There is a direct correlation between the Second Amendment and your personal safety and security. Its 27 words prevent our Republic from becoming a dictatorship.
No president in American history has done more to damage and circumvent the Second Amendment than Joe Biden. Curiously, no one from the corporate media has ever bothered to ask him why he wants all of us disarmed.
Biden and his handlers created a taxpayer-funded office inside the White House, which is specifically designed to infringe upon our Second Amendment rights. Not only does the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention create national gun-control policy, such as the Surgeon General’s deranged declaration that “gun violence” somehow constitutes a public health crisis, the office serves as a clearinghouse of sorts, and pushes its unconstitutional gun-control schemes out to the states.
If we lose the Second Amendment, or if Biden is able to weaken it further, our other rights, especially the First Amendment, will be immediately vulnerable.
Prepare for the worst
FEMA recommends Americans should stockpile enough nonperishable food items to last “several days” in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. The agency also recommends whistles, dust masks and moist towelettes. Somehow, arms and ammunition didn’t make the list.
The truth is, we all know what we need to survive: Food, potable water and water purification equipment, First Aid supplies, communications systems and, in the worst-case scenario, arms and ammunition.
I would add one item to the list: Body armor, preferably NIJ Level IV (now known as NIJ RF3) plates capable of stopping rifle rounds.
Have the Right Mindset
This country has survived a Civil War, two World Wars and the Great Depression. We can make it through anything as long as we remain vigilant and zealously safeguard our personal security and our constitutional rights.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst and remember: We’ve gotten this far because we’re resilient, and even with our faults and internal disagreements, this place we call home is far better than anywhere else.

To one of the last points lv 4/RF3 plates are probably the best choice if you need more than concealable pistol/shotgun armor and have a budget. Oddly enough the ceramic strike face has come down in price compared to the backing (UHMWPE especially) and if you don’t mind thicker/heavier alumina oxide is hard to beat for the purpose. There are thinner and lighter options in level 4 and oddly more expensive options in level 3 (RF 1-2) due to material cost (mostly). But compared to what was available 10+ years ago the level 4 (RF3) options are cheap as can be.
What’s the best way to win a gun fight?? Don’t show up.
If you can, move to the boonies, preferably an hour outside any town 50,000 population or less. The region between the Sierra Nevada and the hundredth meridian (which goes through Dallas) is one of the least populated on Earth, despite the presence of major cities like Vegas, Denver, and Phoenix. Only about 8% of the total population of the US lives in that region. Staying in a major eastern or west coast city is just asking for it.
It ain’t the nineties anymore.
So long as food water and basic logistics are covered (including basic to intermediate medical care) yeah. May have concerns regarding raiders after food and supplies but time distance and terrain should thin those out enough for neighbors with rifles to help fend off. Just make sure your water source is not easily diverted or turned off by those upstream in whatever form they may take.
I have a well, a stone wall around the house, a driveway gate, barbed wire around the acreage, a couple of generators, and several freezers. I stock up every several weeks and during hunting season. The closest neighbor is around 200 yards away, and is armed and prepped as me. Everyone else in this “rural residential” neighborhood is of like mind in terms of preps.
Then assuming you are fairly far from the spill zone in case of a logistics breakdown to the nearest city the biggest realistic threat (beyond some weird shit of .gov drone strikes) would be the weirdos playing arson via various means and given your description of the area a drone dispersed incendiary to your roof would be the smartest way to go about it……..which would be stupidly unlikely given the investment in resources to get anyone halfway competent out your way for such mischief. So unless your area is prone to wildfires good to go……..yeah I did not enjoy my last few years in the army when the focus was on domestic insurgency.
The military wasting several hundred thousand dollars to drone my ass … that’s pretty f*ing stupid given I don’t represent much of a threat. I live in the boonies to avoid stupid Democrat urbanites who, at the first sign of a systems breakdown, will be looking for something to eat, given that most of them have empty refrigerators and depend on Uber Eats to deliver their victuals. Besides, if the powers that be were smart, they wouldn’t drone my ass, they would raid my stores to give to the useless. I think that is a far more likely threat.
Generally speaking (again assuming you are at a logistically difficult location be it distance terrain or access roads from any nearby city) any likely raiding for supplies would be pretty exhausted within days to a few weeks and likely would quickly collapse as gathered supplies would fail to appease the numbers involved even before resistant holdouts get involved. If a region like yours would be targeted it would more be because of perceived threats to power consolidation after the fact and a hobby drone with some gasoline dumped on your roof at 0dark30 from a mile+ out would be the most likely method as denial of resources/shelter would be just as good as termination of threat….. it’s been weird watching the Ukraine footage after other things from a decade ago.
