The left hates the military, but are so convinced that those who do and have served are stupid enough to die defending them from the right. Read this, it’s the height of disrespect.

I post this to show you an interesting situation. Watch the video below and see comments below:
To begin with, the cops during the traffic stop were taunting the intoxicated man and attempting to escalate the situation so they could get him to do something that would permit a felony arrest. They were being assholes. It’s easy to be the bully when you are armed and outnumber the unarmed target of your abuse three to intoxicated one.
The intoxicated man decided that he was going to get revenge, called 911, and executed an ambush. Two officers were killed and one wounded.
That’s all I want to talk about in this case. Instead I want to point out that one intoxicated man successfully ambushed three cops. Now ask what would happen when cops decide to exceed the tolerance of the citizens they are sworn to serve. What could two, three, or ten armed citizens accomplish once they decide that they are going to hunt?
The Democrats are in full fledged panic mode over Biden’s performance in the debate last night. His dementia was on full display and obvious to all, even the Democrat faithful. This generates a couple of interesting questions. The inner circle of the left KNOWS how bad Joe’s mental state is, yet his campaign allowed the debate. This tells me that either the Dems WANTED to showcase how bad he is, or the campaign really is clueless.
We know that they aren’t clueless, so that leaves us with it being purposeful. After all, if they are simply going to cheat the election, all they had to do was- nothing. But they decided to let the world see what Biden is all about. To what end? Do they want to replace him? There are a few options.
But how do they get Joe out? 25th Amendment? Assassination? Simply replace him?
I still say that the left won’t allow Trump back in office. He is too dangerous, and he is pissed. They will assassinate him before he ever gets near to the inauguration podium. The FBI alone will never allow him to gut their agency, which is sure to happen if he gets in office again.
Our series on preparedness continues. We have looked at records, did an extensive (and ongoing) examination of power, and now we move on to medicine. When people think of medicine, they think of the sexy parts: usually trauma. Yeah, using a ballpoint pen and a pocketknife to open an airway in someone’s throat makes for great television, but isn’t really something you are going to have to do.
Trauma is a surgical emergency. The only thing I can recommend with trauma, beyond first aid is stabilize the injury and get the victim to a location that is equipped and able to perform the necessary surgery. If things have gotten to the point where that isn’t possible, the victim probably isn’t going to make it. To stabilize the patient, it helps to have a decent first aid kit like this one. Here are the basics of how to treat a gunshot wound from a talk I gave at the 2021 Florida Blogshoot. There are all sorts of people that will tell you to carry IV equipment, BVMs, and all of that, but frankly, you don’t need that stuff. There are plenty of studies that bear that out.
I have seen medical bloggers insist that you need to stock a room full of sterile, disposable dressings. Hogwash. All you need to do is cut up some old sheets, put them in a pot of boiling water for ten minutes, wring them out with hands freshly washed in clean, potable water, then dry them in the clothes dryer. Now you have clean bandages.
No, the important medicine that you need are the less sexy parts of the medical profession. The most important thing that you can have from a medical standpoint is knowledge. Start with a first aid and CPR course, something like First Responder or EMT. You can get an EMT certification in as little as two months for the cost of a single handgun. The more you know, the more you know, and one thing that you learn may be the difference between saving a life and not.
What medicines do we need? First, recognize that the biggest killers of people in a SHTF scenario will be contaminated food/water, and sepsis. Having things on hand to deal with those things will go a long way. So here we are with a list of medicines:
Those will handle most of what you will need in a SHTF situation.

The US is talking about making some B52s nuclear capable again. The ten bombers had been “denuked” in compliance with nuclear treaties with Russia. This is nothing more than bullshit saber rattling. It will take years, and will not make a difference. Not only that, but the Air Force admits that it no longer is capable of putting nuclear bombers on alert, because it just doesn’t have the men or equipment. Of course, this makes one wonder what use is an Air Force that can’t take to the air to employ force, but that is a different discussion.
The Navy chose to flex its nuclear muscles by having an E6 Mercury and an Ohio class missile submarine sail around in full view of the Russians off the coast of Norway. The message is clear- we have nukes, and they are at your back door. At that range (less than 1200 miles), missiles fired from that submarine would detonate over Moscow in less than 8 minutes. Not nearly enough time to react.
The Navy only has the capability of the Nuclear ballistic missile submarines for nuclear weapons at sea. Ever since the first President Bush pulled the nukes from the rest of the fleet. The personnel and equipment needed to put nukes back on to the rest of the Navy just no longer exists. Our carriers, attack submarines, and surface ships just do not have the ability to maintain or carry nuclear weapons. Nuclear armed Tomahawks and carriers with nuclear weapons just don’t and can’t exist in today’s US Navy.
Now consider that the Navy doesn’t even require its sailors to pass a physical fitness test any longer.
So for the US, it’s use ballistic missiles or nothing. Our military is an overly expensive, hollow shell that can’t accomplish many of its core missions. Any war against a near peer adversary is therefore likely to end with the exchange of strategic nuclear weapons as our military gets its ass handed to them.
The first shots have been fired directly between US and Russian forces. The Russians have declared the entire Black Sea to be a “no fly zone” and have just shot down a US RQ-4 Reaper drone.
Most of this arrest report from Eustis, Florida sounds fishy. Reading between the lines, this arrest was made and his truck was towed to teach him a lesson about how to be deferential to his betters.
Three cops for a speeding ticket? Arrested for having his hands in his pockets? No, he was arrested for not kissing cop ass and for telling them to mind their own business.
I added about ten more manuals to the training materials page. Check it out.
Gun Free Zone is ending as a blog. (No- the title of this blog is not a dig on the size of anyone over there, lol) Truth be told, the end of that blog came two years ago when Miguel announced that he was retiring from blogging. The quality that I came to love about that blog dropped sharply from that point forward.
He has been blogging nearly as long as I have, but was a far more prolific blogger than I ever was.
I respect and loved reading Miguel’s stuff so much that he was the very first blogger that I met and spoke to in real life. I trusted him enough that I confided things to him about my former employer that would have gotten me fired, and he wrote articles based upon those news tips.
Miguel- if you are reading this, you are always welcome to guest post here. Let me know if you are ever interested. Godspeed, my friend.
