This is an essay about surviving. We should be living our lives today with an expectation that something bad will soon happen. That feeling should not dominate our existence or preclude us from pursuing rich and joyful lives, but it should keep us mentally vigilant and physically prepared before disaster strikes. In this Obama-Biden America of open borders, out-of-control violent crime, economic fragility, and international provocations, it is only a matter of time before conflicts abroad become conflicts at home. It is vitally important to keep your head on a swivel.
The October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israeli civilians serve as a shocking reminder that evil is raring to go when people least expect it. One second, concertgoers were enjoying festival music, the next second they were struggling to escape slaughter. One moment, families were asleep in their beds, and the next moment gunmen were breaking into their homes. Life-and-death situations require critical thinking without the luxury of time; therefore, those who have already mentally prepared for the worst put themselves in the best position to prevail.
Unfortunately, Americans are at a disadvantage today because they have been conditioned to depend entirely upon government institutions for protection. A culture that values strength and self-reliance produces citizens who are capable of defending themselves when necessary. A culture that embraces victimhood, views masculinity as “toxic,” finds language “triggering,” and insists that only government agents should be armed with weapons is a culture ripe for swift defeat.
Furthermore, too many official U.S. government policies are intentionally geared toward harming Americans. No sane nation interested in the safety of its citizens would open its borders to tens of millions of illegal aliens, refuse to prosecute violent criminals, or secretly resettle anti-American, military-aged “refugees” into unsuspecting American communities.

Good post and comments. Situational awareness and a firearm on or nearby is always good advice.
And Henry Kissenger. And Keith Richards.
Why would the people allow themselves to be disarmed when their sworn enemy, the most murderous people on earth, lives and all around them.?
There are no more liberals in Israel.
Don’t forget Vegas.

“...I’m waiting for the George Soros announcement.......”
Ditto. I want to be first to start the conga line
vegas was the first one i listed
J.B. Shurk also states:
The cold, hard truth is this: through its open border policies and refugee resettlement programs, the federal government is actively aiding and abetting the next terrorist attack on the United States.
That defines the members of the Obama-Biden kakistocracies as traitors to the United States
******
Spot on…
And Obama is still pulling the strings on the senile marionette Biden.
And “keep your hand at the level of your eyes!”
What is funny about Keith is he is younger than Mick Jagger.
I do much the same thing whenever I go to a new place. Whenever I stay at a hotel on business or pleasure, I like to stay in my car before checking in and drive around the immediate vicinity to get a lay of the land (and see where the best pub might be!). I then drive around the perimeter of the hotel to see where the exits come out to. That way, when I get up in the morning, I know exactly where I am in relation to my surroundings.
This is very true. When I think of the FBI basically setting up a group of white men and charge them with forming a kidnapping of MI governor Whitmer I get angry. At the same time the FBI is doing this, they are ignoring all the bad guys that have been on their radar (like all the mass shooters) and they end up not doing a thing to stop the killings. To me, this is not protecting the citizens. This is complicity.
AMEN.
I had forgotten that.
One reason I don’t like going to movies now is I am not protected by a sign and clueless people who are working at the theatre who take 5 minutes to get me a drink and hot dog.
Sad but true.
No, but it is clear an overwhelming majority of our population has been so conditioned.
The OBVIOUS, cold, hard truth is and has been...
Will the R party under "We have to take care of our own border first"-Mike Johnson be able to effectively respond and correct this threat?
As Holmes told Watson, “You see, but you do not observe.” We have to observe everything except our phones.
