Armed suspects rob pub full of police officers attending party

......and it worked out like you thought it would.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The New York Post:

"This duo picked the wrong pub to knock off.

Joseph McInnis III, 21, and 22-year-old Tyree McCoy robbed a Maryland bar filled with dozens of off-duty officers there for a cop retirement party, WBAL-TV reported.

The armed crooks entered the take-out portion of Monaghan’s Pub in Woodlawn on Tuesday night and held up an employee at gunpoint before running off with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said, according to the news outlet.

“At that time, the person who had been behind the counter knew that there was a retirement party for a police officer happening, so they went into the other portion and alerted the officers to the fact that they had just been involved in an armed robbery,” Baltimore County Police Officer Jennifer Peach said.

Off-duty officers at the shindig quickly ran out and took the men into custody.

They were charged with armed robbery and possession of a handgun and were being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, according to the report."

“I’m sure that they weren’t planning on there being a large room filled with police officers,” Peach said.</span>

what do you think of this tent, any good?

I saw this on ebay, do you guys think it would be good for the occasional weekender who plans to camp on dry weekends, but may get a small shower?

Axes and Metal vs Other Types of Roofing

All this horrible flooding and people retreating to the attic with an axe, or keeping an axe in the attic, got me thinking...

There are many recommendations to have a metal roof instead of a shingle roof for water collection, but...

If you have to take refuge in your attic and then the flood waters rise, will an axe be able to go through a good quality metal roof?

What about solar panels (on either type of roof)?

Rabbit question

Rabbit question

---

Back around Thanksgiving a white rabbit just showed up around the property and house, he-it not sure if male or female but it hung around all winter spring and most of the summer till late July then it disappeared- I figured something ate it or it died.
Last week a black rabbit showed up, same size body, long ears, same disposition, everything. The white 1 was missing a patch of fur on its neck and the black 1 is missing the same patch of fur.
Can or do rabbits change color, white to black?
It's a mighty strange coincidence. Also if it's someones pet do they neuter/spay pet rabbits? I'm worried it might cross breed my few wild brown rabbits.

Sheriff David Clarke Resigns as Milwaukee County Sheriff

I just heard on the Joe Pags radio show that Sheriff Clarke has resigned as Milwaukee County Sheriff. Pags, who knows Clarke personally, has been trying to get in touch with him to get the inside info on what is going on.

So far, no news on line except that he resigned.

Does anyone prep with Fire Cider for health? COLDS, IMMUNITY

It seems to me that I do not see much posted in the alt medicine areas.
Like herbal medicines, tinctures, etc.

Fire Cider is best to make at home (less expensive and then you KNOW what goes into it) and is great for sick family members, neighbors, friends. Makes great gifts (if they will use it).

I make gallons of the stuff.
I do not get sick when I'm around kids going back to school (I avoid sick people as much as possible in general, husband had weak immune system due to a health condition).
I take some with me every time I travel.

If anyone is interested, I have great recipes, or you can use the google brain. It takes time to get ready, so I have it going year round. They say 6 weeks, I do 3+ months of steeping time.

The base of Fire Cider is Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). Something like Braggs with a mother in it. Not the cheap stuff.

Ingredients

ACV
Horseradish root
Garlic cloves
Lemon
Hot peppers of your choice (optional)
Fresh Ginger
Fresh turmeric
Ground turmeric
Onion (Large White Onions have the most healthy constituents for medicinals)

Optional ingredients:
Burdock root
Rose hips
Schisandra berries
Echinacea
The list is never-ending

Chop coarse or finely grate items, your choice.
Not giving specifics on amount of ingredients here.
Obviously.
As you can find a hundred different recipes online, all differ.

Juice of lemons best (most lemons are covered with a waxy film).
I use 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon jars.

Cover all with the ACV, shake it, store it.
Some recipes call for honey, but then it's actually an Oxymel and does not store as long, needs refrigeration.

You can steep it as long as you need to, then strain out the liquid. Use a 1/4 cup or less with a spoonful of good local honey, mix well. Drink daily for health or just if you get that "uh oh, I'm feeling sick" mode.
Or use the vinegar in salad dressings or other food preps.

Looking for a new Ruck style Pack -- GHB

Hi there. I'm looking for a new pack to use as a GHB and an extended ops bag. I do not want an assault style bag....( already have a Rush and a Maxped vulture) I really want a ruck style that will put the weight on my hips and be adjustable to fit a long torso I'm (6'1)..

A bit more about me:
I'm 205lbs in good shape, try to ruck weekly and am a backpacker....and am not a weight weenie.

Aside, from a ruck style I'm looking for military style cordura , molle customizable, min. of 45L. (at 45 L, must be able to add on pouches)

Currently my shortlist is: (in no particular order)
1. Eberlestock Operator or Terminator
2. Tactical Tailor Extended Operator
3. Tasmanian Tiger Raid MK3 (Can't seem to find much in the way on reviews on this pack).

Any comments on these bags or can anyone suggest any others that might meet my criteria?

Thanks!

Best AR-15 Magazine Pouches

Garand Thumb over on YouTube put together an excellent video detailing several different magazines pouches he has used.

At the start of the video Garand Thumb makes an excellent point that the word "best" is subjective. What may be the best for someone, may not be what someone else needs. The magazine pouch a police officer needs will be different than what someone in a airborne unit needs.

Four pouches are discussed in the video:

Hurricane Harvey Lessons Learned

Well we are emerging mostly unscathed. I will probably be out of work for about a week due to road conditions and shut down of the site.

But, no wind damage and still dry. Wife no longer mercilessly mocking the preps. She did not take things seriously until some of her friends started texting that their houses were getting flooded. After that the family stopped balking at putting together a go bag.

We live immediately west of Barker Reservoir. We did loose water for a few ours Sunday night and are now under a boil order.

What worked:
1. Plenty of stored water, batteries, flashlights, food etc.
2. Never lost electricity so was able to monitor adjacent creek and reservoir conditions and water levels. Monitored the news, although most of it was filled with rescue stories.
3. Listened in to the ARES net on Friday night on the Saltgrass repeater, but after that did not get much useful information. Just a lot of chatter.
4. Watched neighborhood areas to our East, North and South flood. Had a clear evacuation path to the West. The planned evac path from my house to family in Brazos and Robertson county stayed clear.
5. Local friends, texting and cellphones kept us informed of local conditions.
6. Made good use of a bicycle to reconnoiter local streets and flooding yesterday.

What I would improve:
1. Will probably buy a pair of waders, and thinking about a cheap Jon boat.
2. Will need to address maintaining access to communications if electricity and cable/internet go out.
3. Need to top up my gasoline cans earlier.

Still working on:
1. The evacuation decision. Chose not to evacuate due to the hurricane not hitting Houston initially. But the effects of this storm do concern me.

What about you, your lessons learned?

Our new house, blackberries and a tractor

My wife and l finally got our property!
5 acres, with a 1 acre clearing in the middle with our house and giant pole barn. The property is in Benzie county Ml, near the Betsie river. So hemlock and hardwood forest, Beautiful! Not the farm we wanted but this was 'The Home'
So we made an offer and they accepted.
Surrounding the entire clearing is about 10 feet thick of blackberry brambles, very heavy with berries. My son ate about 2 pounds and got the squirts....

When we finally make our permanent move in a year and a half, how is the best way to clear some of these out? Or leave it and use as a "fence" surrounding the property? Goats? Burn it out?

Also, we negotiated in an Allis Chalmers 4wd tractor with front end loader and attachments....l assume its like driving a fork lift or skidder?

fireproof / backyard storage options

I have seen threads on this forum about people burying stuff in glass jars, or pvc pipe.

Im wanting something a bit different. Its a cache for maybe some copies of documents, (serial numbers and copies of reciepts for insurance purposes) backup of family photos on cd's etc. I could use it to store a number of emergency ration bars as well.

Im not preparing for end of the world, just mitigating risks of day to day living.

Im thinking of making a shed base, (so a shed will hide everything, and or prevent neighbours from seeing what I am doing there). Shed base would be made using 600 x 600 x 50mm concrete slabs, but the middle slab might have a 'thin' waterproof steel container sunk down, with concrete around it. the internel box dimensions might need to be 500 x 500 (giving the concrete slab a 50mm ridge to sit on all the way around). I guess it should be 500mm deep for good measure.

This means I need to manually prise up and lift a 30kg slab of concrete anytime I want access to the cache. Its a better option then burying in the dirt, and as long as the slab doesnt get chipped / damaged, it should be able to access without leaving any tell tale signs.

Im wondering if anyone has done something like this? Im struggling to find what I would need. I have considered sinking a safe down, at least this guarantees it wont leak, but I dont think I need a high level of security for what I am planning to store there and a safe, with internal storage of 500 x 500 x 500 is overwhealming.

Water running into the box is a possibility, so anything going in would be inside another waterproof container.

I did find one local company doing fireproof storage safes. At about approx $10k aud installed, its not a viable option.

any advice would be appreciated.

Looters in Texas?!

Woke up this morning and saw the first reports of looters and armed robberies happening in the area affected by hurricane Harvey.
This storm has shown the absolute best of American compassion, everyone is doing what they can to minimize the suffering of people around them at their own expense and risk. Houston PD lost one of their own, in the middle of saving everyone they couldn't save a fellow officer and that has got to sting something fierce.

Then, the parasites show up. While people are still scrambling to save lives the parasites have begun looting the property of those who left, and armed robberies are being reported.
I watched people who fled carrying one bag of possessions, all they could safeguard from all their worldly possessions and some scumbags want to take from them after all that.
That vision in my mind of people in this situation having to fear coming home and looking to salvage a part of their life and finding their property missing is why I would not be able to leave. I'll send my family away, but I have to stay, and I pray that anyone looking to take from victims runs across a person like me who's going to stay to safeguard the area. I'm praying right now that these criminals encounter someone who is anticipating this behavior and is prepared to counter it. I'm not calling for a vigilante to get to work, but I'm saying I hope the people their stay alert and handle any violence that comes their way appropriately

Goodbye, Columbus

Liberals have their next target in sight--Christopher Columbus. Instead of being portrayed as a courageous explorer who opened new worlds, he must be depicted as a murderous savage who harmed the natives of North and South America--who themselves were immigrants from the Asian continent.

Whatever. Your child will probably come home from liberal-indoctrination school shouting about Indigenous Peoples' Day. And we are all supposed to be ashamed. I'm not exactly sure what to be ashamed of. Personally, I'm still mad because my Mediaeval ancestors were peasants. Furthermore, my Anglo-Saxon forefathers were oppressed by the Norman invaders. I want restitution!

Is there anyone else who would like to hold a meeting/worship service/memorial to the man who said, day after day, "Sail on!"? Who fudged a little on how far his ship had traveled to keep his crews from complete mutiny? I would. I'd like to talk about his curiosity, his courage to face the unknown, and how the link he created between the Old World and the New changed and enhanced both.

I know what the liberals don't like about him and it has nothing to do with indigenous people. Columbus was a hero, and liberals don't like heroes. Heroes change the world while liberals whine. Heroes do the impossible while liberals stay in a safe space someone else made for them.

Many of us have fought to keep Christ in Christmas. Can we now fight to keep Columbus in Columbus Day?

That's true, if they get there early enough. If they get there late, there will be nothing left. But the point of the article is that there are often alternatives, and if things are too expensive, people will choose the lesser alternative.

The author made this argument about, say, motel rooms: if rooms are normal cost, they might book two rooms. More expensive, they'll make do with one room--leaving another room for someone else.

Yeah, things are higher, and it's tough for some to afford them, but it's the only way I know to ensure items will be there for those who truly need them.

Another example: batteries. Triple the price and people will likely buy only what they need. Normal amount, they'll tend to stock up beyond what they need--leaving nothing for you.

How to get money for preps?

There's a lot of discussion in the Houston/Harvey threads about why people aren't prepared. One reason given is that people don't have enough money to spare to do it.

But there are ways to get enough money to at least get some water in place, some food that isn't perishable, extra batteries and LED flashlights, a 5-gallon bucket and heavy-duty garbage bags for...you know what.

What can people do to "find" or make extra money? Let me start a list, and I'm anxious to see what others have as ideas.

*******************

1. Sell extra stuff you have on Craigslist. Do a yard/tag/garage sale to get rid of extra clothing, this-or-that. Price it to sell.

2. Give up one extra luxury for as long as it takes to accumulate $200. A latte? You can live without it for a while. Pack your lunch for a month instead of eating out. Carpool. Do something to reduce your outgo and redirect the savings to preps.

3. Refinance your mortgage if you have one and it makes fiscal sense. I once refinanced mine which, after fees, saved me a grand total of $39/month. That doesn't look like much, but that's almost $500/year. Took me 3 hours of paperwork and meeting w/ the loan officer to do it.

4. Find a babysitting gig. Or mow lawns. Or start a service that offers to take people to the store and help them get their groceries in the house, for a fee.

5. Offer to do painting. That's my go-to gig.

What else can people do to earn a little extra they can put toward preps?

School me on shipping containers please!

I am interested in getting a shipping container for use on our property.

I would like one that would fit on our 20 foot flatbed truck (it can carry about 10,000 pounds max).

The 20 foot containers that are 8 feet wide and about 8.5 feet high with a set of double doors on one end sound perfect. They seem to be about 4500 to 5000 pounds empty.

1) Could I legally carry these on our flatbed truck with chain binders on the corners and maybe two 4" ratchet straps across the top? I don't have a CDL because our truck is 19,500lb GVWR and is not used for anything commercial.

2) Is used ok? Do they ever reek of some nasty stuff that they were used to carry, or dangerous chemicals?

3) How much should one expect to pay for a 20 foot container like this in the Washington state area? Picking it up ourselves would be a bonus toward opsec but would it significantly reduce the cost compared to delivery?

4) How do they do under snow loads and cold weather? Just for storage of stuff to keep mice and snow/rain out, not for keeping artwork or living inside.

Thanks for any tips.

Harvey- Personal Lessons Learned

So I am in the city, flooded in and cut off from the outside for a few more days.
I am personally safe and have been in contact with dispatch and performing limited foot patrols in the area I live in, if nothing more than be a visible presence to deter looting.

Here are the lessons that I have taken from this-

I need emergency Personal Flotation Device for my work gear, the water rises so rapidly that you have very little time to react.

Don't go home in a weather event, I am cut off from the office and patrol units, limits the ability to perform duties, cover what areas are still dry.

Stock more supplies than you think you will need- I am good for now, it's the recovery period that is going to be iffy.

Fully explore the entire area for viable passage out before the water gets uncontrolled.

Form a network of responders in the immediate area and build on that so we can still be effective even if isolated. Nothing is worse as a first responder to not be able to do anything meaningful in these events.

Things high on my list for the next few months-
An SUV capable of fording at least 4 feet of water
A Boat, looking at the idea of a Zodiac
Better comms gear

Although this magnitude of water was unexpected we do have occasional flood events in the area from normal rainfall, so the above will still be valuable.

I have power still, water is still in service for bathing, and my location does not get water inside so that is good to know.

In the days and weeks that follow this event I will most likely be on duty 7 days a week until we recover and secure the city. This has been an almost surreal event that caught us off guard, we knew the storm was coming but not the full potential.

Great Survival Youtuber for Daughters and Young Females.

Hey folks,

Many you probably know about her already, but I'd like to introduce Survival Lily.

She's a great resource and motivator if you have daughters or know females you'd like to introduce to prepping and the outdoors lifestyle.

She's down to earth, engaging, adorable and really fun to watch. And to top if off, the stuff that she does she does commendably well, from establishing the C's of survival to kit usage and maintenance.

What's engaging about her is she approaches every task with a thoroughness and lack of ego. She address fire starting, shelter building, etc with an approachable, academic mentality, but she clearly loves what she's doing.

One vid she documented a week long stay in my neck of the woods, nearly my back yard. Her concerns about bears where.... cute, but also smart.

Anyway, really fun person to watch, and to use to motivate others that are perhaps turned off by the main branch of bearded outdoorsmen and preppers on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS4LBgyn1WLSojiQI4aPjtg

She's gotta stop closing one eye when she's bow shooting, though. Looks like she's left eye dominant.

Survival kit

What is it you are trying to "survive?"

Before you buy anything, do some reading on this board. You'll likely find you can build a better kit, tailored to your needs and preferences, that will help you in many more situations, less expensively than a pre-made kit. You will learn what everyday carry (EDC), bug-out bag (BOB), get-home bag (GHB), and INCH are. You will also find out what skills are necessary, regardless of the situation. Gear is nice, but skills and knowledge are far more important (and they weigh less, generally cost less, and can't get used up/destroyed/lost).

There is a ton of good information here. The stickies on the top of the different forums have especially important information.

It is good to determine what it is you need and why before you spend money. One of the most important things to remember is the hum-drum everyday kinds of things (broken water main (no running water)? flat tire? dead battery? etc.) and the things that happen frequently/every year in your location are the most important things to prepare for (tornado? flooding? blizzard? forest/grass fire? etc.). The End Of The World As We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) is far less likely to happen.

For any TX resident that hasn't heard, as of September 1, 2017, we can legally carry fixed blade knives, Bowie knives, swords, spears, folders over 5.5", and throwing knives and shuriken (stars).

Also, the cost for a gun carry permit drops from $140 to $40.

New (to me, anyway) Savage Model 1917 .32 ACP

I had been looking for a Model 1907 for a few months now after checking out one that a buddy owns.
It disassembles without the use of any tools whatsoever --- even the grips snap into place.
It's a fun shooter & works really well with the superior European ammo like Sellior & Bellot, PPU Partizan, etc.

Well, after doing some research on the model timeline & handling an example of the last ones built in 1920 as the Model 1917, I just had to have one.
The grips are a bit thicker (which now necessitates the use of one screw) & so it fits my big mitt much better.

It's got what looks like a spur hammer, which is actually a cocker/decocker, as they are all blowback pistols.
Some came in .380, but the .32 models were the desirable ones.

It's a bit on the long side (6 or so inches) for CCW (although I occasionally wear my 1911 in an IWB holster) & that safety has to be in spot-on, A-1 grade condition to be carried cocked & locked, since de-cocking it allows the firing pin to rest on the primer of any cartridge you may have in the chamber.
So it's cocker pulled back like a hammer, 10 in the magazine & one in the chamber, with the safety on.
It may sound REALLY hairy to us nowadays, but this is the way these extremely popular pistols were carried in their heyday & I've never read or heard about a rash of accidental castrations due to this practice.

Anyway, it's supposed to be rolling into my local FFL's some time today --- I'll keep y'all posted.

New HP laptop turning itself on and connecting to wifi

I bought a new HP laptop, an HP 15, I think, with Windows 10. It's been problematic since I first bought it. Of the 6 or 7 times since I bought it, I've only been able to spend about an hour and a half online because if the never ending downloads. I know Windows 10 downloads take a long time, but they don't take 8 or 10 hours. My Dell desktop only takes about half an hour, maybe an hour if it's a big download.

I've adjusted the power settings, deleted a bunch of useless games and other stuff that came already on it.

Also, it's doing this thing where it will be turned off--NOT in sleep mode---but off, and it will turn itself on and connect to the wifi. Again, NOT in sleep mode, but fully off. And sometimes it does it soon after I turn it off, but a couple of times I've come out in the middle of the night after it's been off for hours and it's on and connected.

It's going back first chance I get. I didn't have but a couple of passwords in it and have removed them, so no worries about anyone getting them. They're different than my important passwords anyway.

Anyone explain why it would turn itself on and connect itself? I'm thinking it's defective.

REVERSE MORTGAGE the Good-Bad-Ugly

my Mom wanted to get one. she gave me the paperwork to read over. I was shocked it was even legal...

essentially you sell your house to the company. they take possession when you die, and pay you a little bit of the sale price monthly, which is akin to winning a lottery and taking an annual stipend instead of a lump sum. the state keeps the cash, and all the interest it makes over time, and you never actually get the principle.

to make it easy, if I give you $1 million, but only pay out $100k annually until you die, then you never actually got the million, you only got a portion of the interest. if I make 12%, you only get 10%. I keep the 2% AND the original $1million....pretty good deal for one of the two parties, you can guess which one comes out ahead...same with a reverse mortgage. if there wasn't HUGE profit and low risk for the lender, they wouldn't be pushing them so hard on infomercials...

Estwing tools- New Machete

I agree that Estwing makes quality stuff for the money. I've never had one of their machetes but I would think a 10 inch one would be a bit small. Have you looked into Tramontina machetes? They are thin and a bit more flexible than a lot of machetes.

They are made in El Salvador and those people know how to make machetes because they use them for tons of things. And the best thing is, they are very cheap. You can usually find them for well under $20. They often do not come with much of an edge but they can be sharpened pretty easily with a file or a sharpening puck or something like that. I'm not certain but I think you might have a chance to find them at a local Lowe's or you can order online. They do not come with a sheath so you might have to look into that.

Another option, although heavier, would be to check out the Ontario Machete. They make a couple of sizes in it I think. It's more expensive and thicker and more robust. That might be a plus for you and it might be a negative, depending on what you're chopping.

If you're interested in looking at either of those machetes, I'll try to leave a link to somewhere that you can find them for a reasonable price.

http://ift.tt/2xronN5 (You can find the Tramontina machetes and sheaths there if you don't find them at Lowe's and they also carry the Ontario machetes as well as a lot of other brands as well)

You might also try Amazon if you're not comfortable with Machete Specialist but as far as I am aware, they are a good and legit company. Good luck with your search and keep us updated with what you find and how it works for you.

Question for untreated water container for inline/gravity filtering

I'm currently thinking of buying aquamira Frontier Max (inline/gravity water filter) but I'm not sure what should I use as untreated water container. The filter has both quick connect & quick disconnect adapter and the last thing I need is to use another hydration bladder as untreated water container (too heavy & bulky). Any idea what should I use for untreated water container that is lightweight and also foldable?

Thanks beforehand

rock room temperature question

So:

8 years on the future I'll build my ICF "Forever house" into the side of the mtn.

Meanwhile I REALLY want to build basically a "walk out basement" by itself for cooler storage.
I estimate it would cost me about $10k. It doesn't make sense to spend it on that vs the house, and also I might have to move the building site and it might be in the way.

But I've been collecting favors.... a considerable amount.

At no cost I could use a small dozer, tractor with a front end loader, and (most importantly) some labor when my buddy doesn't need his "farm labor" (whos covered for 40 hours/week no matter how much work.)
-I could do support work, but not lifting the rocks.

I've got a slope full of up to watermellon sized "building material"
The dozer could level it, and all I'd need to buy would be concrete/morter. (I could lift some of the smaller ones, but not much due to my injuries.)

I'm envisioning stone building large enough for 4 pallets.

What I don't know is whether (with partially dug in walls).... however much the dozer would do, but figure less than half the temp would stay constant enough to make it worth doing.

Bigger/more in the ground... sure.
But I don't know about this.

Anyone have any experence?

UNC Healthcare - State of North Carolina taking over

My sister, who is a Lab Tech, works at a hospital that used to be called Wayne Memorial Hospital. It is in Goldsboro, NC. UNC health Care recently took over. UNC Health Care is an arm of the North Carolina State government and is a "not for profit" organization.

My idiot, democrat, Obama supporting, libtard, Lab Tech, sister is now complaining that the hospital is undergoing changes she doesn' t agree with.

From what I see, UNC Health Care is buying facilities. Maybe NC is ahead of the game and sees a single payer system/socialized medical care as the future.

Anyway...

Now that the facility is owned/managed by the state, she's complaining that working staff (nurses, lab techs, doctors, people actually doing the work, etc) are being reduced but administrators/managers are increasing. Also, productivity is being measured and assessed for future cuts, benefits for full time employees are being reduced, sick time/absences are being scrutinized, and deductibles for employees are sky rocketing.

All I can do is laugh at her, and I did, long and hard. She got what she wanted and supported.

Icing on the cake, she got put on a waiting list for a mammography...****ing loser Libtard..suck it up.

and I laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

Valerie Plame wants to buy Twitter to stop Trump

http://ift.tt/2wKY07w

You just can't make this stuff up.

Valerie Plame started a GoFundMe account to raise one billion dollars to buy Twitter stock and force them to block the Trump Twitter feed.

She has managed to raise 80 thousand dollars in 11 days. At 7200 a day she is projected to reach her goal in 380 years.

And she forgot to notice that at a 6 billion Twitter valuation she will need triple her amount to gain controlling interest.

She will need a millennium to reach her goal. I'm sure Trump is quaking in his boots.

New Movie - "Bushwick"

Trailers are on-line now. Call it the view from "the other side"

Red Dawn - only upside down and backwards - with a lot of liberal BS as an added bonus

Reviewers panned it badly. Spoilers below.

*********************spoiler alert**************

1st reviewer
What’s it about?

Civil-engineering graduate student Lucy goes home to visit her grandmother in Bushwick, and finds the Brooklyn neighborhood overrun by masked soldiers systematically killing everyone in sight. After a close encounter with a pair of looters, she teams up with Stupe, a gruff janitor whose battlefield medical skills, collection of firearms, and references to military tactics clearly indicate that he’s much more dangerous than he appears.

As the pair look for Lucy’s family, they discover that the soldiers are actually an impromptu army sent by a coalition of Southern states, attempting to seize Bushwick as part of a Texas secessionist movement. If Stupe and Lucy can cross five blocks, there might be a way out — but that’s harder than it sounds.

Okay, what’s it really about?

In a post-film Q&A session at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, Milott and Murnion said they were inspired by an offhand comment about secession from former Texas governor Rick Perry. Bushwick imagines a literal culture war, but it seems more specifically interested in inverting the right-wing fantasy of guerrilla resistance.

Instead of Americans banding together to rise up against a foreign invader, Bushwick residents must unite to defeat an enemy who thinks principles like racial tolerance make their city weak. And instead of seeing warfare as purposeful and cleansing, Stupe — a disillusioned veteran built like a mountain — feels as though he’s being drawn back into something inherently repellant. (Reviewers misspellings not mine)

If You Want to Help Now and in Future Disasters

If You Want to Help

For this disaster:

Pray
Donate money to a reputable charity
Donate supplies to a reputable charity
Volunteer with an agency/organization that is actively soliciting volunteers for this disaster

Donate and volunteer responsibly: http://ift.tt/2xAI04p

Unless you are with a certified organization/agency, you won’t be allowed in, and if you do manage to get in, you could very well hinder relief and rescue efforts, or even cause harm. Even if you have badly needed professional skills, you need to deploy into the area with an organization. If there is a call for specific professionals, contact whoever is asking for the help. Either they, or someone they are in contact with, are credentialed to provide relief/recovery assistance.

Here is an article that explains why self-deployment into a disaster area is a no-no. http://ift.tt/2wfZweR

Contact sites/numbers for volunteering that may have current opportunities for Hurricane Harvey relief:

Red Cross: http://ift.tt/2wfJX73
Salvation Army: http://ift.tt/2wzMziG
Links to several agencies needing help: http://ift.tt/2wACcv3
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod: http://ift.tt/2wgo9Z4888-843-5267

Here is the list of National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD):
http://ift.tt/2wdKkip

For future disasters:

--Decide what kind of work you want to do. This might entail asking different organizations what kinds of things are often needed and/or hard to get.
--Find an organization that provides the kind of assistance you want to help with.
--Volunteer with that organization.
--Complete their training and then keep it current.
--Cooperate with background and medical checks and requirements (when was the last time you got gamma globulin shot? Do you have specific chronic medical issues that prevent deployment into certain types of situations?).
--Get your own deployment preps in order (the organization will provide a list and recommendations) that you need to have on hand so you can deploy with little/no-notice.
--Let your employer and family know, so if a need arises there are no ugly surprises.

Some types of employment, such as medical, utilities, law enforcement, etc., the employer may maintain a volunteer list. Many of these employers are already on call lists from government disaster coordinators and disaster relief organizations. We’ve all seen the convoys of utility workers on the highways… organized, equipped, and trained… and… they’re expected in the disaster area, so where they’ll go and what they’ll do when they get there, is already known, and some sort of preparations have been made for their arrival.

There are a lot of good people out there that want to help. Not just now, but will want to help during future disasters. The time to prepare to help during future disasters is now. Exactly the same concept as prepping for one’s family, except in this case, you’re prepping to help others.

Where does "Conservatism" go in the future?

With Trump winning (thankfully) last year in a crucial election, many people have been riding a high of optimism for the future of Conservatism. Truthfully, I am not optimistic, I feel for good reason as many people are seeing things that just aren't there.

I am under 30, once was a pretty "establishment-type" conservative voted for McCain, then became more of a Libertarian during the Obama years and still voted for Romney. I always had the thought process of "As long as I am left alone" and if I give the Left their gay marriage and weed then they will let me keep my guns. I am sure there are some progressives that are cool with that arrangement but most from what I can tell are not. I eventually came to the realization that the Left has trounced the Right in the battle for the 20th Century.

I want to know why Conservatives are optimistic? I see no reason to think the GOP platform, even as it currently stands, is tenable past the 2020 Election.

Here are a couple links related to voting patterns by Age and Race:

http://ift.tt/2wAfgvO

Cornell breakdown is relying on pre-lim exit polls, so I found the always reliable WaPo (lol) did some extra research on the Hispanic vote in Texas. I won't say that they are 100% accurate but I would guess it splits the difference, and say that Trump won 25% of the Hispanic vote in Texas.

http://ift.tt/2wAueCh

I know people don't like to recognize Race as a real thing, but looking at the statistics it has a real impact on how people vote. Identity politics may not be what people want, but it is something that needs to be addressed. I get that we may have Non-whites on this forum that are going to say "I voted Trump and so did most of my family!" and for White people "I know a really conservative Black family at Church and they all voted for Trump!". The truth of the matter is the only group that Trump won is White people.

I tune in once in awhile to Alex Jones, and he completely ignores the data to no surprise, and all him and his crew talk about is how Trump's rallies are primarily all minorities while the Antifa is all white. Yeah, it is true Antifa is mostly white but as we see the rise of BLM and La Raza we will see these groups join up.

We know at this point that Marxists have taken over most of Academia, which has only done more to undermine Conservatism. I don't think people really consider the long term impact this has had. School of choice is not really a true solution as the teachers are all taught by the same professors at the universities. Law schools churn out activist Lawyers and Judges. Secondary School and University reinforce Marxist and anti-colonial attitudes, especially among minorities.

What is the future of conservatism, Are you more optimistic than I am? If you are what should we do?

We can't continue to have this attitude of "I just want to be left alone", that type of attitude goes nowhere for the long term. Along with that too many people simply say "we just need to go back to the Constitution" while I totally agree, it is easier said that done and realistically impossible.

Spotting Someone Who is Armed

Knowing if someone has a concealed firearm is a big advantage in the lead up to a fire fight...
if you have an inexperienced guy with a shoulder holster his right arm/shoulder will either constantly move awkwardly or just sit awkwardly on his person,
The person might also walk with one arm slightly farther out than his other- again giant giveaway.

Body language mate,
If they look too confidant whilst strolling around or if they are quite jittery...
Unexperienced people who handle concealed firearms often touch/fondle their weapons through their clothes... Big giveaway

Preparedness

Whether you’re unsure of how to plan for a bug out situation because you don’t know where you would bug out to, or you simply prefer the idea of battening down the hatches in your current dwelling to weather whatever catastrophe may strike, urban survival and bugging in are two important topics that are quite worthy of consideration. Most people now live in developed suburban and urban areas rather than out in the countryside, so in the event of an emergency, many people are going to find themselves trying to survive in the concrete jungle.

How well you can survive, amidst looting, violence and the desperation of the under- or completely unprepared, will depend on your own good sense and your ability to prepare ahead of time. Aside from stocking up on basic supplies like food and water, you don’t have to spend a fortune to prepare yourself for urban survival or bugging in, either.

The modern civilian equivalent of a PRC-77?

I passed my Technician and General Amateur Radio exams last weekend, so now I am shopping for my first gear. I want to start out with a simple man-portable walkabout/bicycle-friendly kit for urban or woodland recon, bugout/bugin, and get home. (Later, as I become more proficient, I will explore mobile and base.) Similar in use concept to the way the Army used old PRC-77's back in the day, but smaller, lighter, and with 21st Century features and capabilities.

As much as is practical for a handheld, I want to be able to utilize the bands and frequencies that I will be able to legally transmit on, once my General license shows up in the FCC database.

Budget is somewhat flexible; I would rather spend a bit more and buy quality gear once, than end up with a box-full of broken cheapos and regret a few years down the line.

Criteria:

• Handheld, or SMALL pack if the increased size can be justified with significantly greater capabilities.
• Rugged, Milspec or similar preferred.
• Waterproof to 6-8 feet (heavy rain, wading, fording, accidental tumble out of a boat).
• I prefer common battery types, or a unit that is easily converted using a holder or adapter (like my scanner). Not a deal-breaker if it is a proprietary battery, but I like the idea of being able to scavenge.
• Able to be powered from external power (home or auto adapter, crank, or solar).
• Can be degraded but still effective on the move, if I am unable to stop and deploy a larger antenna.
• CW capability a big plus.
• GPS is handy, but not a requirement. I taught Map Reading and Land Nav, and I still own a compass and an unopened case of Grid Squares ;-)
• I loathe trying to impress others; I don't care about the brand name, and I don't do ****ing contests over who has the most infrequently-used bells and whistles.
• It doesn't have to be so simple to use that a monkey could do it, but added complexity has to pay off.
• Antenna options: Something that won't draw attention, but again, function trumps form. I'm OK with having a nice Yagi if it can be broken down and slung over my shoulder or lashed to my pack frame.
• Mic and headset options: I only have experience with handhelds, and the boom mic in my Tanker's CVC helmet. I have never used a throat mic, but I understand the concept. I don't give a damn if it looks cool; I do give a damn if it is so unobtrusive that people don't even notice that I have it.

I readily admit, I am a new Ham and I don't know what I don't know. Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience.

AA Flashlight/headlamp with both usb-uncharger AND red light?

Hi , I'm looking for a new headlamp that can do the following:

1) Have red lighting mode. It's just so much nicer for my eyes when I have to use it in middle of night.

2) Be able to charge my phone.

3) Use AA batteries. (my entire product line all the way to shaver uses AA currently, so I would need a DAMN good reason to upgrade to 18620)

Does such a headlamp exist?

Currently I'm using the wonderful (but discountiued) http://ift.tt/2vrmm22

The only problem with that wonderful headlamp is that it cannot charge my phone, so in emergencies where I need phone charging I have to take out the batteries and put them in my phone-power-bank (which also uses 4 AA batteries)

The newer Fenix headlamps does have usb charging phone directly, however they are 18620 not AA, and I'm not sure if they have the red light.

I use AA for my flashlights, shaver, computer-mouse, and mobile phone power bank (and radio/walkietalkie in future I think). So I quite love the idea of using the same battery for everything.
However I will admit that many times when I'm about to charge my phone in emmergency I find the battery has completely been drained, even tho I clearly remember charging it a month ago and not using it since. So I've been considering upgrading to 18620, but I don't have any proof that that would sovle these problems.

Unsure how to proceed...Savage 116 FCSS, 270win

First time I have ran into this problem! A little history first. Due to a very nice discount from Savage Arms I ordered a beautiful 116 FCSS Weather Warrior in 270win. The rifle arrived and I noticed a cut in the recoil pad about 1/2" in length. Also the recoil pad is not on tight, the screws are tight but the pad pulls out about 1/4". I do plan on replacing the stock with a Hogue within the next year. Could I use some sort of glue or epoxy to hold it in place and to close the cut? I have been thinking gorilla super glue gel or the GG epoxy. Any ideas! Returning the gun is not a choice as it will take 1 year to replace it and I need the firearm.
