The Republican canvassing board was originally deadlocked on the election results and refused to certify them. Then, two hours later, both of the Republicans on the board flipped and the board unanimously certified the vote. 

 So now the left will threaten and scream at any Federal employee who does their job, if that job happens to be a detriment to what a Democrat wants. 

This is what the socialist revolution looks like. 

 Police in Ocoee, Florida will be asking businesses and residents to share the feeds from their cameras with them, so they can monitor everyone solve crimes. 

It isn’t like having video of Hunter Biden helped police solve THAT particular crime spree. 

No thanks. I will keep my freedom, thank you very much. 

 I have a weather station on the roof of my house. I use it to control my irrigation system as well as for general science geekery. 

For the past three years, it has been an Acurite 5 in 1 weather station. The problem is that I bought my first one in April of 2018. It had to be replaced in July 2019 after a lightning strike. Well, it died again. That makes 3 units in 30 months. Not good enough.

So now I have an Ambient Weather unit. This one adds measurements for UV level and sunlight intensity. The only problem is that I have to find time to climb on the roof to install it, but it is too dark in the evenings, and I keep finding other stuff to do on the weekends like shoot guns and visit with my grandkids. 

Also, the wife and I just noticed that the local stores are again running out of toilet paper. 

We took advantage of today’s stock rally to sell some of the stock we bought back in April and made a $17,000 profit on the deal. Thanks to some wizardry on the part of my CPA, we won’t owe any taxes on the proceeds. A good accountant is worth every penny. Don’t get me wrong- we still get bent over by the tax man. An accountant just makes it less painful. 

Plus we both work. It seems like there is never enough time. 

Still trying to get everything prepared for what is coming. Financially, legally, and supply wise, I am trying to anticipate everything while still managing to enjoy my life. 

 North Carolina is a “shall issue” state- meaning that the government has no choice- if a citizen meets the criteria for a concealed weapons permit, the permit has to be issued:

In order to acquire a North Carolina permit, an individual must apply to the sheriff’s office in the county in which he/she resides. As part of the application process, the applicant must accomplish the following: 

1. Complete an application, under oath, on a form provided by the sheriff’s office; 

2. Pay a non-refundable fee of $80.00; and 

3. Allow the sheriff’s office to take two (2) full sets of fingerprints, which may cost up to $10.00; 

4. Provide an original certificate of completion of an approved handgun safety course; and 

5. Provide a release authorizing disclosure to the sheriff of any record concerning the applicant’s mental health or capacity. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-415.13 

So you can see the loophole, right? All the sheriff has to do is stop providing the applications or stop taking fingerprints, and the entire process becomes may issue. That is exactly what happened in one NC county. 

 Trump finally admits that the election is over. Just as I predicted, Biden will be inaugurated on Jan 20. Trump was given a list of court defeats on Friday that signal that the courts are not going to do a thing. SCOTUS remained silent on the DOJ requests for intervention, and the Republican leaning parts of the MSM turned their backs on him, all the while ignoring the election shenanigans. Expect that to continue.

Short term preps (next six months)

So what comes next in the short term? Retailers will begin preparing for the return of COVID lockdowns. Expect tourism related businesses to be hurting in the next few months. For example, at the end of March, I bought 1,000 shares of Royal Caribbean at the low price of $21 a share. As of Friday, that stock was selling at $71 a share. I wanted to wait until I had owned the stock for a year so that I could pay the capital gains rate on my profits, but my wife and I don’t think that this is a good idea. We are going to sell 350 shares on Monday, so that we can at least get our original money plus a small profit back. Similarly, we have stock in MGM resorts, Darden restaurants, and a few others. We are looking to sell off some to safeguard our original investments. 

In order to silence the most serious opposition, the Democrats will have Donald Trump arrested within weeks of his leaving office. Whether or not he sees any serious trouble is immaterial- they will end his political career, along with the threat he brings to the status quo.  

How much control the revolutionary communist wing of the Democrat party and their billionaire and Chinese backers have on the overall party will determine how Biden leaves office. If their hold is weak, Biden will make it to 2023 before he is removed and replaced by Harris. 

If they are a bit more powerful, he will be replaced within weeks. They may even let him resign. If the communists are firmly in power, he will die in office. Just how spectacular and public that death is will be a great indication of how much trouble is coming. The worst case scenario for this country would be an assassination. In public. By an assassin who turns out to be a Republican member of the NRA and the murder weapon is an ‘assault weapon.’ Of course, this will enable them to declare the NRA to be a “terrorist organization” and shut it down. 

The worst thing in all of this: Biden didn’t even bother to campaign. He was blatantly in your face with the lack of a campaign. The Trump team scoffed because of this and thought that the campaign was in the bag. No one bothered to think that Biden already KNEW that the election was a done deal, and this was why he didn’t even bother to try. For crying out loud, the guy who is the CEO of the voting machine manufacturer is now on the transition team as a part of the future leadership of DHS.

So the election was stolen. There was fraud on an industrial scale, and they didn’t even try to hide it. Why not? Because they know there is nothing that the American people will do about it. That scares me more than anything- because now that they know they CAN, they WILL. That means that there will likely not be another fair election in the USA. Ever. 

I hope and pray that I am wrong, but I fear that I am not. 

As many of you already know, the Great Florida Blogshoot was yesterday and it went off without a hitch. There was a large (for a blog meet) attendance of 19 people. The weather was great, and it was good to see people that I had never met before. Let’s see if I can do the list some justice. Of course the main people were there: Miguel of Gunfreezone, Borepatch, and Queen of the World. Then there were others including Ratus, Big Country, Sapper, and many others. Sgt Bob showed up with an M1 Garand that was in better condition than any other I have seen in awhile. If I overlooked anyone, my apologies and assurances that it isn’t intentional. I just wasn’t taking notes. 

It was a bit of a drive for me (two and a half hours each way), but it was a great day. 

I want to make a special mention of Kevin Creighton of Ammoman who produced a 500 round brick of CCI Lawman in 9mm for the shoot. The only thing he asked was that each of us mention his site and give him a link. His prices look good, he has ammo in stock, and I think I am going to be making a buy soon. 

Any time you get a group of gunnies together, you always see some interesting toys, great conversation, and a bit of showing off. If you weren’t there, you missed a good time. There was talk of doing another in February, so there is always another chance. 

 My prediction stands: the election fix was successful, and too many RINOs are willing to punt so that the Democrats will destroy them last. Here is what I see happening:

– The recount in Georgia will find nothing. 

– SCOTUS will take no official notice of the shenanigans, because they are afraid of being packed into irrelevancy. 

– Biden will be inaugurated on January 20. 

– Trump, who has said he will  run again in 2024, is a threat to the status quo. He will be arrested and jailed within weeks of leaving office. 

– Harris will take Biden’s place before St Patrick’s day. 

 A judge in Pennsylvania handed the Trump campaign a victory when he ruled that the PA Secretary lacked the authority to allow mail in ballots extended time to cure their ballots by providing identification. There will be a hearing tomorrow to determine how many ballots will be thrown out as a result.
