Many thousands would die if darkness implies grid failure in major population centers of days-long duration.

Water is very important. I keep 6 months worth on hand for me, my wife, three dogs and two cats. You will want to make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need and too much of something from such a narrow diet. Freeze dried food is generally considered the most shelf stable and nutritious. It's expensive and requires rehydration. Canned might leave holes in your nutrient profile but it's cheap and lasts years. Maybe consider a multivitamin. Bags if beans and rice are cheap but maybe harder to store long term and very bland and again you'll become nutrient deficient from such a narrow diet. Only you can know your needs but in addition to six months of water we keep six months of dog and cat food. Nine months of freeze dried food buckets under beds. 12 gallons of alcohol fuel - it burns super clean and has an indefinite shelf life.

Our goal is to be able to lock the gate and stay home for 6 months in a grid down scenario. Think about how long you'll be on survival resources, in what conditions and calculate how much each individual needs. The longer you go the more money you need. Start right now, prepping is a process and you will need to budget, buying a bit each pay check or monthly.

I was telling a bar guest tonight that once again the Dem party did not let their constituents choose. He said that's bullshit. Then I said "did you vote for Kamala in the primary and he said the primary hadn't happened yet but he was going to vote for her. I was just confused and walked away.

And Joe is in on it? I can't see how he wouldn't be if things go down that way.

I might put it on the TV at the bar I work at.

He said Mexico would pay for the wall and maybe we revisit that in a year or so.

Shelf stable food, water and fuel to cook in a grid-down scenario?

The photographer is Doug Mills. He seems to be an established photographer working for the New York Times. What I imply is he definitely has access to gear that could capture that moment.

Every bit of that is true. If you read what I've been writing you'd see we agree. My only argument is that she is black enough to meet the 1/8 definition of black. Calling her not black is a stupid hill to die on. Focus on her family's slave owning past, her inauthentic representation of being a young black person in America, her lying about smoking weed to be cool and then becoming a cop with a terrible record, she's so stupid there is no shortage of easily accessible critical material. But screaming "She's not black, she's Irish Indian" is pointless and inaccurate by omission.

I know. I've said repeatedly that portrayal is disingenuous but genetically she has a claim. We did the opposite with Pocahontas - she knew a bit about the culture she was claiming but had no genetic heritage so the whole thing seemed disingenuous. But now we sing a different tune?

People of Indian heritage fall into the Caucasoid genetic group. As do Europeans. Asians and indigenous groups of North and South America fall into the Mongoloid group while Africans fall into the Negroid group. This is a genetic correlation, not people just deciding whatever they want. Kamalas mother is Indian and her father is Jamaican by "nationality" but absolutely is recently descendant (within a generation or two) of melanated people from Africa. It's tough pill to swallow for some but that's the facts.

This is correct but people here are struggling with the lack of conformation bias. And her father is descendant from African people, absolutely no denying it. The pieces of paper are fine and all but genetics tell the real story and arguing against should be considered futile.

Is there any footage of Crooks firing the weapon or even stills of him on the roof aiming? I find it impossible that there wouldn't be if people were screaming at the cops about such a scene.

I saw an image of a John McAfee tweet from years ago saying (paraphrased) "Biden will be out and replaced by her by September right before the election." That's kinda crazy.
