Prepper Deals out on the Internet:

A frequent contributor to this site, Ranger W, recommended a book which should be added to any survival library.  It’s called The Self Sufficient Life and how to live it.  Less than $25 on Amazon.

Check out these fruit flavored emergency drinks, offered by Costco.  Trust me when I say that in an environment where you can only drink water for days at a time, a little bit of flavored water goes a long way to make you feel better.

Current events and opinion:

Biden suggests White House could act without Congress as part of gun control plan
PJ:  This really should not come as a shock to any of us, obviously the House would be a large hurdle to any major gun control reforms proposed by gun grabbers.   As such the Exec Order could be a way around that.

$1 trillion coin punditry threatens dollar
PJ:  The author makes a great point here: But that doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous, or that it doesn’t pose a threat to the dollar. The platinum-coin idea encapsulates all that is wrong with governance in the U.S. If America’s politicians can’t overcome the partisan gridlock that is stifling the budget process and making it impossible to deal with all the other critical issues facing the country and the planet, the bedrock of confidence that foreign investors maintain in this country — and in the dollar — will eventually dissipate.

Morgan Stanley cuts 1,600 jobs as business languishes
PJ:  I haven’t reported on job cuts in a while, so here you go…

Why Is China Suddenly Stockpiling Millions of Tons of Rice?
PJ:  Certainly an interesting article which is laced with plenty of theories.  Who knows the real reason, maybe they just recognize that times are about to get tough and  (as a nation) they need to start preparing.

Iowa lawmaker calls for retroactive gun ban, confiscation of semi-automatic weapons
PJ:  I would support his confiscation initiative with one caveat, that being that HE must be the one to carry out the confiscation process within his own district.  Go door to door, demand to inspect each home and then attempt to remove anything which he deems “illegal.”

PANIC: One Million AR-15 Magazines On Backorder
PJ:  It’s a good day to be working for MAGPUL!  Demand is off the charts.  Not a good day to be awaiting an order or paying ridiculous amounts for a 30 round mag, I’ve seen them going for $50 to $100 each.

By The Numbers: 20 Facts About The Collapse Of Europe That Everyone Should Know
PJ:  I know there is quite a bit of hype surrounding the US economy and gun control. but don’t let Europe slip off of your radar screen.
