    Just think... none of this would have happened if Trump was still president. None of it. So now they have to blame Putin for everything that has gone wrong.

    That is why I referred to "Pyrrhus Biden". He may win the war, but destroy the world in the process, not just our country.

    Whatever outcome happens is what the Globalists intend.

    As an aside, I wonder how many people are familiar with the term Pyrrhic Victory.

    i have weaned myself off of sugar in last few weeks. Oil, use more Olive oil than the other. Either way. i got air fryer - so eat dirt Putin. Besides, we are constantly told how bad sugar and flour is for us - so I am not overly worried. And, as long as i can afford beans and taters I can feed us.

    Shortages are never just about the items in the shortest supply, it is a cycle that was broken by these things and everything is affected. I try to keep a 3 month supply of basic survival items as I have since I was 17. I no longer keep my loaded survival backpack and weaponry ready, because there is no place to go anymore. The thing about stocking too much is that your neighbors won't and you will end up sharing or possibly become a target for theft.

    I think only conservatives would know about that em because most of us have at least some interest in history.

    It's been a while since I had a bug-out bag, since where I now live is where I would have bugged-out to.

    Your comment on what to do when everyone knows that you prep is one I guess we all hope never comes to fruition. I'm sure we've all seen the Twilight Zone episode (and others) where everyone makes fun of the neighbor who builds a bomb shelter...then the warnings hit and everyone is banging on his door. It's Aesop for the Modern Era (The Ant and the Grasshopper.)

    Wow, good for you, G. I have such a sweet/carb tooth I don't think I could do it.

    There is truth to all that, but if you don't prep a little, you become the person in need who has to beg or steal from others. It is very common in Alaska outside the cities to have provisions to weather volcanoes, earthquakes, and wildfires, as they happen almost every year (not volcanoes on the mainland, thank goodness).

    As long as you don't mind surviving long-term on beans and taters. I had friends who were homesteaders and they went into the wilderness with a year's supply of beans and rice as they were vegetarians and thought it would tide them over until they got their garden going. After a few weeks eating beans and rice, they found they couldn't take it any more, and obtained a rifle and started hunting moose and other animals to survive the winter. Shortages of sunflower and safflower oil puts pressure on the other oils and price increase takes place on corn, canola (rape), and soybean oils.

    Hubby can survive if anyone can. I say they wrote the song 'Country Boy Can Survive' for him,haha.
    I was always afraid to eat at his parents house I never knew what was on the menu. I just made sure I ate before their dinner.

    OOkay, granted.. i was merely trying to show, that you can do without or take alternatives. But yes it would get tiresome after a long bout.
