I'm glad all is relatively well for you, John. My wife and I also in recovery from our first regular, original flu since Covid. Now that I know the old flu still exists I might go back to getting the old school non mRNA flu shots again.

Yup, lotsa members don't log in too often ... like me. I'm sorry I don't have contact info for John either. He's definately a good guy. I'll be following this thread too.

To be clear, I didn't mean to mock nuclear power plants or their efficiency. However they would each make incredibly deadly targets for our enemies.

Qweevox, I'm glad you're mending well. My wife and I survived Delta January 2021 and Omicron in January 2022. No jabs, nothing more than Ibuprofen for treatment. Same as you, the commie virus is bad enough that I'm not adding mRNA crap to it. Delta was just plain AWFUL! On day 2 I lost the ability to read. According to my brain at the time, pages consisted of identifiable letters and numbers that could not be interpreted as language. After two naps my ability to read returned. I had high fever and chills too and it took about a month to return to 100%. Omicron started out so mild I came home after testing positive and I danced a little jig in my living room to mock it! That was day 1. Day 2 and 3 I had a mild fever and stopped mocking it. Still after a week life was back to normal. I'd say it was no worse than a cold except it's been years since I've had a cold. I was a fan of yearly flu shots, but now I don't even trust them.

Well heck yeah! Why just go green when you can Glow Baby Glow with the unbearable warmth of radiation.

Sorceress has a good list of phases we’ve seen taking place in the destruction being wrought on our Republic. There’s one I would add that I believe adds a truly demonic, purely evil component exceeding what would be expected from the minds of mere humans. From a passage in Genesis: Genesis 19:1 ¶And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. 4 ¶But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. Rather than rape the Angels, Lot offered his own virgin daughters which the men of that city refused. Can you imagine that? How wicked could they be? Perhaps they had never tasted Angel before. Not so long ago the feminist movement in America campaigned against prostitution for demeaning and enslaving women. Today prostitution is revered as just another lifestyle choice. And, rather than securing our borders, any kind of criminality is coming across them, including human trafficking. Rather than championing women’s rights, President Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson is afraid to define what constitutes a woman. Instead of leaving sexual preference to be a private matter determined by each individual, there is now a superior creature with what is currently the highest level of privilege unable to be denied in the USA. The transsexual is granted rights that “trump” every other human. To deny “transsexual” men the chance to dominate women’s sports is to invite riotous reaction. Why is this situation not intolerable, and unacceptable to the minds of mere humans?

I installed a Blink system recently prior to an out of state trip to visit my son and his family. I also set up a WiFi light to turn on and off inside as needed. I've got 6 cameras including the doorbell which can view and record without the button being pressed. I would have preferred a system that turns on a light just to let a criminal know they are being watched, but Blink is infared based. You do get audio and can talk through the cameras. I have base units to store video and pay no monthly fees. The reaction is within 10 seconds and goes to your cell. You can also view live video. I'd like to know they are outside before they can get inside.

Thank you, thank you all. My day is going well. My wife is planning one of my favorite meals, Kung Pao Chicken. And I'm finishing setup on our new Blink security system. Rather than door/window indoor alarms I'm going for early detection ... outside! Plus, with the microphone/speaker I could speak directly to intruders giving them the option to retreat!

I'm appreciating the info guys, thanks. I've done some follow-up on the Glock 19 Gen 5 and it looks good. My son is a Sig fan boy and probably always will be. I've shot his mini and didn't do well accuracy wise. I have a couple of preferences that affect my choices sometimes. 1. I can't stand double action triggers. It's me, I know, but my accuracy leaves with the long trigger pull. Striker fire is much better. Going from an LC9 to LC9S cured that. 2. I really like a manual safety. I was sold on it years ago when I bought a Star UItrastar 9mm. It's flip up safety results in a trigger that can be pulled over and over and the gun can't go bang. In a life or death situation I'd rather have to flick my thumb to fire, decrease my chances of an accidental discharge, and maybe slow down anyone who might get ahold of my gun(since I usually have a tiny backup to anything that's in a holster). I'd have to overcome #2 with the Glock, but it wouldn't be my first striker fire.

I'm looking for opinions/advice. When assault weapon ban 1.0 reared it's ugly head years ago I decided I'd add some to my collection before it took effect. We now have anti-gunners taking aim at hi-cap 9mm handguns. Currently I only have low-cap concealable models. American Rifleman had a good writeup on the new SA-35 from Springfield and I like the look of it. It's a classic out of the box, holds 15 rds., and weighs the same as my old polymer Star Ultrastar. Can anybody give me a thumbs up or down on it and if down, then point me toward a better option? One thing I'm looking for is good accuracy (Ex. 25 yards = under 2")

The survivalist side of my family has not only the local high ground but the low as well. Since they are 1-2 hours away my worst age related issue is packing all my ammo to contribute to the family stash.

That was very well put TJ. Also, when all someone is doing is connecting the dots, if the result is recognizable there's likely a method to the madness being witnessed. A couple of days ago while perusing the days' events online I got knot in my stomach thinking about the possibility of enough unrest and discontent building up in the US that our Damnocrats are able to "cancel" the midterm elections for the "good of the country".

Hmmm, so a bright side of the really bright blasts would be lots of white people dying. Would BLM be cheering if there's no one to hear it?

I started to read it ...but it was too late. I went to bed. Snoozed and I missed it. Life must go on.

According to the "approved" vote count of the last Presidential election you would be correct.
