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.

My son came out to a drained tank in his work truck the other day in Washington State.

We don't play those games in Az

That sounds awesome! Whether kid or soldier it sounds like fun. I don't like the cold, but as a kid I still made snow angels and would run full speed into snow drifts and then dig myself out.

I only did the jump from a sloped garage roof once, and without a cape. Even at a young age I knew a cape wouldn't help. Now what was great fun was jumping off a mesa near home. The fall was vertical initially and then sloping sand to the valley below. A cautious bit of flying / falling would result in a cushy slide into the sand. I was a preteen, and it was so amazing I just had to show my mom. She banned me from the area. Years later I took my wife to the exact spot. As adults we both agreed "What was I thinking?"

I read this article today. I just had to share it with you all. Not only is it thought provoking and eye opening, but unfortunately headache inducing and just plain OMG! What Is the Great Reset? - Imprimis (hillsdale.edu) The proponents of this are dedicated, committed, and proud. The plan is full speed ahead, but since it's not on CNN, NBC, Etc. there's nothing to see here. Since this is "Current Events" I figured General Talk is the place for it.

I'm sorry to put a damper on the claims of the imbedded article, but the author claimed:" The unvaccinated, on the other hand, will gain lasting (if not permanent) immunity to all strains of the alleged virus after being naturally infected with it even once." I continue to be confident that my jab free natural immunity will be more effective and safer than the jabs, but I've had covid twice so far, and almost exactly 12 months apart. So, either the above claim from the author is false or the Omicron virus is something else entirely. Where does that leave us humans?

Brother, it is as you've stated in another thread, and I agree completely, what the pro vax zombies are doing is pure Evil. Hysteria, inspired of Hell. While the jab may not be what the Bible declares the "mark of the beast", the vax card could be. If it gets to where you can't participate in society, or even get health care without your card then that's it.

A day late here ... but I spoke to the staff at the small testing facility here about my antibody test and the off the chart result >100.00. They said it is likely due to the severity of my individual illness which was much milder than my first round with Covid #1. I had a fever for 3 days this time, and my wife had none. Her antibody count was 82 so the severity level difference makes sense. Meanwhile searching "super immunity" online, which I clearly have at the moment, all pro-Fauci sites including the CDC preach don't get tested. The only avenue to it is Covid then jabs or jabs then Covid resulting in endless infections and the cycle of Covid and jabs continue. I'm gleefully anticipating next year's even milder Covid. Natural immunity and no jabs for me and mine.

Bush, what state are you in? Possibly related ... both times we got Covid were during the holidays = family and friends. Most everybody got sick and those that did tested positive. This year my son was sick and got tested at the hospital = came back negative. He knew that can't be right. He bought a test kit at a pharmacy, and it came back positive.

To be clear, neither I nor my wife have had ANY Covid jabs. I just finished some web surfing on what constitutes "super immunity" and the CDC does not recommend antibody testing or interpreting any of the data you receive. Just get the jabs. And if you still get Covid then you receive the super immunity prize. What a load of crap.
