Just so you know, until Nixon, Hispanics were WHITE. The term Hispanic was invented by Nixon to gain votes.

And "Blacks" like Meghan Markle and even Kamala are a joke. They appear pretty white to anyone with eyes.

There is a well known saying in China about the province my ex wife was from.... " If you miss looking at a pretty woman walking down the street ... wait 10 seconds another one will walk by " I can attest to that fact personally .... Upon meeting her in the states people thought she was 10 - 15 years younger than she was ... I will say this....Once an Asian woman starts showing her age (60 + ) She does age fast. .... Please note that the older Chinese women I observed in China lived through the great famine and the cultural revolution. ..... The stress alone I imagine would be enough to age a person by decades ....

Since we are on cultural stereotypes....a saying I have (which really pisses of my wife) -

Italian women are like Italian motorcycles. When they are young and new they will steal your soul. But when they get older they turn into high maintenance nightmares.

The grocery stores, department stores that have a grocery section, dollar stores, or convenience stores, even the mom & pop deli's I suppose. Could be places to avoid if things go off the rails, so to speak.

The nearest population center to me (16 miles) is the small city of Batavia, with only a population of 16,000. But a portion of that population is the poor ghetto people who migrated from the ghetto in Rochester. That has changed the *character* of Batavia and not in a good way.

It's the ghetto people who are the people posting videos about stealing stuff, stealing stuff from customers as they walk out of the store, and looting. Given their track record, I'll take them at their word. So I plan on staying away from any stores in Batavia for the duration if shit does go sideways.

Some regular members here might have noticed that I occasionally post.
"As always, there's never a bad time to top off your preps. Don't forget pet supplies if applicable."


I don't think there has been a more fitting thread for that friendly reminder than this thread.
Since the scamdemic anyway.

Schumer and the Democrats want free healthcare for illegal criminal aliens.
If they can't get what they want, they want anarchy. :mad:

Trump and the Republicans aren't going to agree to illegal criminal aliens getting access to free healthcare.

Neither side is showing any signs of blinking so far.

I could be wrong, but I do not see this ending well for some of the pawns caught in the middle.

Folks the schools feed needy children breakfast lunch and sometimes dinner ... Even on breaks I believe.

During Farm-to-School Month, Governor Hochul Announces $10 Million Available to Bring More New York Food to New York Schools​


“As this irresponsible federal government shutdown continues following the Trump administration’s dangerous cuts to food programs, I’m proud to say that here in New York State, we’re continuing to advance our goals of reducing food insecurity while increasing market opportunities for farmers,” Governor Hochul said. “Our Regional School Food Infrastructure program brings our farmers and our schools together, supporting our agricultural industry while ensuring that our children have enough local, fresh meals they need to learn and thrive. The funding for these projects will provide the much-needed support to help schools prepare delicious, fresh foods from scratch for our students in their own facilities, further strengthening the resiliency of our food system.”

During fiscal year 2024, the government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) supported, on average, 41.7 million participants, or 12.3 percent of the U.S. population, every month. Anywhere between 4.8 percent and 21.2 percent of each state’s population was on SNAP in 2024.

I'm going to have armed security at my Thanksgiving dinner. Nah, I'm joking, lol.

But on a serious note, if someone doesn't have the supplies needed for their Thanksgiving dinner by the end of this week, they're doing it wrong. I'm just saying.

I have armed security at every dinner I attend.

My kids school in NY would only let students take the entire free meal, not just the one item they actually wanted to eat. They were instructed to throw out what they didn't even want in the first place. I'm sure all the schools do the same. It ensures the quotas are met and budget gets bigger next year.

They also tried a farm fresh garden bar. I'm sure you can imagine how excited the high school students were for that one.

If we have to feed kids 2 "free" meals a day in school, is that subtracted from the SNAP benefits they would receive at home?

I think it would be amazing to replace SNAP with a Strategic Lottery for Access to Provisions. All eligible participants can purchase scratch-offs wherever EBT is accepted. It would work just like a normal lottery except the prize is "money" that can only be used for food, and it could be entirely self funded.

When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence

Editors Note: I came across this fascinating essay from Matt Bracken that made the rounds about a year ago. In it, he paints a dire potential future that some o
theprepperjournal.com

In my scenario, the initial riots begin spontaneously across affected urban areas, as SNAP (supplemental nutrition assistance program) and other government welfare recipients learn that their EBT cards no longer function. This sudden revelation will cause widespread anger, which will quickly lead to the flash-mob looting of local supermarkets and other businesses. The media will initially portray these “food riots” as at least partly justifiable. Sadly, millions of Americans have been made largely, or even entirely, dependent on government wealth transfer payments to put food on their tables.

. Food must be delivered the old-fashioned way: physically. Any disruption in the normal functioning of the EBT system will lead to food riots with a speed that is astonishing. This will inevitably happen when our unsustainable, debt-fueled binge party finally stops, and the music is over. Now that the delivery of free or heavily subsidized food is perceived by tens of millions of Americans to be a basic human right, the cutoff of “their” food money will cause an immediate explosion of rage. When the hunger begins to bite, supermarkets, shops, and restaurants will be looted, and initially, the media will not condemn the looting. Unfortunately, this initial violence will only be the start of a dangerous escalation.

The ransacked supermarkets, convenience stores, ATMs and gas stations will not be restocked during this period due to the precarious security situation. A single truck loaded with food or gasoline would be perceived to be a Fort Knox on wheels and subject to immediate attack unless heavily protected by powerfully armed security forces, but such forces will not be available during this chaotic period. Under those conditions, resupply to the urban areas cannot and will not take place. The downward spiral of social and economic dysfunction will therefore both accelerate and spread from city to city. These delays, in turn, will lead to more riots with the constant underlying demand that hungry people be fed, one way or another.

The “food riots” will be a grass-roots movement of the moment born out of hunger and desperation. It will not be dependent upon leaders or an underlying organization, although they could certainly add to the sauce. Existing cell phone technology provides all the organization a flash mob needs. Most of the mobs will consist of minority urban youths, termed MUYs in the rest of this essay. Which minority doesn’t matter; each urban locale will come with its own unique multi-ethnic dynamic.


In order to highlight their grievances and escalate their demands for an immediate resumption of government benefits, the MUY flash mobs will next move their activities to the borders of their ethnic enclaves. They will concentrate on major intersections and highway interchanges where non-MUY suburban commuters must make daily passage to and from what forms of employment still exist. People making a living will still be using those roads to get to where they earn their daily bread.

The results of these clashes will frequently resemble the intersection of Florence and Normandie during the Rodney King riots in 1992, where Reginald Denny was pulled out of his truck’s cab and beaten nearly to death with a cinder block. If you don’t remember it, watch it on Youtube. Then imagine that scene with the mob-making accelerant of texting and other social media technology added to stoke the fires. Instead of a few dozen thugs terrorizing the ambushed intersections, in minutes there will be hundreds.
