So there is some panic apocalypse porn trending on social media atm.
You can ignore that, but even so you should have a stack of these plus some canned and dehydrated food, as well as a propane burner/stove and a practical amount of ammunition in a closet anyway.
It's just common sense whether or not there is doom hysteria in your feed.
It takes so little effort and money to have a weeks worth of food, water, and a way to cook that food and to keep yourself and your family warm for a week.
There is no reason not to do it.

The main concern for a local Church should be doing outreach directly in its community, not spending $30k to send 20 members to some other continent

i have been steadily banging the drum on domestic transformer production since 2023, and now, we have resolute grid. the last time an american company fully designed and built these was in the late 80s. so excited to see this come roaring back. incredible work!
I listen to machinery all day long that is destroying thousands of acres of woodlands and wetlands (taken by eminent domain) to build giant transmission lines from the energy plant down the road from my house to feed a hyperscale data center.
A data center that everyone tells me is going to generate its own power, and they somehow know this despite the NDA's signed by both elected officials and public servants, and the public service commission blocking the release of the impact studies.
Many such cases.
You want to know why I hate North Carolina’s population boom? Look no further than my birthplace: Wilmington.
I was blessed to spend my adolescence in the Port City, back when it still felt like home.
Local culture was strong, the festivals along the riverfront were part of who we were, and you didn’t spend your day worrying about whether you were safe. You could get across town in twenty minutes. Kids played in the streets. Teenagers roamed the city without their parents fearing for their safety.
Then Wilmington started growing, and little by little, the place I loved began disappearing.
Outsiders took over city council. Housing prices skyrocketed, pushing the very people whose families built Wilmington into surrounding areas. Festivals were destroyed, landmarks lost the names generations had known, and statues came down to appease the woke mob. Wetlands were destroyed to squeeze in more housing, and historic oaks were ripped out to make room for palm trees. Traffic became as miserable as Raleigh or Charlotte. And now even the adults need to keep their heads on a swivel because there aren’t enough cops to keep up with rising crime.
All in the name of growth.
I watched a place that once felt like paradise turn into my idea of hell.
And the hardest part?
The people who turned Wilmington into such a desirable place are the very ones who’ve been priced out, pushed aside, and told to get out of the way.
This is what happens when a community prioritizes population growth over the people, history, and culture that made it worth living in.
So before you start cheering for more development and another boom in population, stop and think about what you’re actually asking for.
Growth isn’t progress, and a bigger population doesn’t equal a better place to live.
You can love North Carolina and still refuse to watch it be loved to death.

I find it striking the "America First" movement has become a subversive Bolshevik party full of useful retards helping usher communism and jihad into power.

The Majesty of Your Country Has Been Stolen From You.
This is an old postcard depicting the Florida Citrus Tower surrounded by orange groves in the city of Clermont.
There's nothing quite like the sweet smell of orange blossoms in the month of March.
The Tower is still there today, but the orange groves are long gone, replaced by commercial development and tract house communities. 😢

No confusion. You are simply ignoring your responsibility to your flock. Modern Christianity is rife with this. You have forgotten that the great commission resulted in building a church body and that gave you a responsibility to care for that church body on top of proselytizing. Right now, due to foreigners using any means necessary to get to the US, your flock is in danger of losing their ability to protect and provide for their families. Yet you continue to put the responsibility of gaining converts over protecting the flock. Kinda of like our country is putting its GDP before its heritage citizens by importing cheap labor.

I’m still angry Trump was cheated out of 2020.
I’m still angry Kari Lake was cheated out of Arizona.
I’m still angry Spencer Pratt was cheated out of Los Angeles.
Most of all, I’m angry it keeps happening and our government won’t do anything about it.

All too often we associate culture with high art, lofty ideas, and marble columns.
It is better understood closer to the dirt where it originated. To a sense of place. So reveals the word itself.
Culture derives from the Latin cultura, a Roman working word for the tilling of a field.
Look deeper and find the root verb colere used for things we do not necessarily associate together today: to till the ground, to dwell in a place, to honor and revere.
In short, all the things that allow our songs, our food, our ways and mores, everything that we understand as culture today to thrive.
This is important, for as we become a more globally connected people, ever homogenized by technology, our understanding of culture becomes unrooted from the particular locations where it was formed. This is a tragedy.

Best case scenario he's the child of migrants in Canada currently visiting his family abroad.
Reality, likely, is he's using a "North American" app store in Asia to scam people with Ukraine flags in their bios.

One of the saddest aspects of the crashing birth rates in the last few first-world, high IQ, civilized places is that our children and grandchildren will have so many fewer peers, locally and internationally: way fewer people their age they can share ideas with, understand, engage with.
Ultra atomized in an already atomized world.

How do accounts like yours with such tepid, first level thinking takes amass such large followings?
Do posts like these actually sound impressive and inciteful to a significant amount of people?
Oh, right. Scammer.
