The lead up to New Years Day
Wednesday is trash day, we're supposed to get an oil delivery, our delivery truck stopped at the end of the driveway, then drove off ;-( -Great! He showed back up later...
We made it through the last storm, the aftermath of course is empty propane tanks I need to get refilled. I purchased a new 40# tank that'll run the generator for 18 hours, vs 9 hours on a 20# tank, the downside of the 40# tanks is they are heavy ~72 lbs. when full. The new tank we purchased was overfilled and with an auto shutoff device inside would not put out any fuel, I was going to bleed some propane fuel off today and try it again, but then I read another article that said this;
- Make sure your device is fully shut off
- Connect the tank to the device
- Barely turn on the propane tank
- Turn on the device (Generator)
- Try to start the device
- If your device is already on when you connect a tank it senses too fast a fuel dump and shuts down.
- YAY! Success, the Genny started right up!
I got a new flashlight from the love of my life, awesome flashlight, 400 lumens, 1/2 spotlight and a wide angle area light in one. And oh, both this light and the pocket light I got myself are rechargeable! No more batteries!
Jarrod got us a new Carbon Monoxide detector, I put it up on Monday. We'd been having to change the batteries every couple months on the old CO detector, it was probably more than 10 years old.
Did a little food shopping, MB Eggs $5.49 per dozen!
The Generator I purchased in July for $434.00 is now $1275.00 yikes, i guess timing is everything!
Funny I didn't remember this...

By supporting big government at the expense of the individual, the Democrat Party under Obama and Biden has been transforming America into a totalitarian nightmare. “We are living in an increasingly threatening police state under the Democrats and Joe Biden

FBI Claims "PROOF Of Collusion" Is Actually A Disinformation Conspiracy, rolleyes..
THREAD: THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE – By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy – By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed – By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*
More immigrants were encountered attempting to enter the United States
without authorization in November than any month in U.S. history,
according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data published
online late Friday.
America’s Founders gave us a system capable of defending Liberty in spite of disunity.
“Our politics has gotten so angry, so mean, so partisan,” Biden
lamented. “And too often we see each other as enemies, not as neighbors;
as Democrats or Republicans, not as fellow Americans. We’ve become too
divided.” No shit! Idiot!
Who was it who just a couple of months ago gave a Nazi-backdrop tirade condemning all the supposed authoritarian fascists running the Republican Party? Oh, that’s right — it was Joe Biden. Whose party just yesterday put out its final report on the so-called Insurrection staged by the opposing party’s president? Democrats did.
But Pelosi and Biden are far worse. Trump actually loves America and what it stands for, and he worked to defend and advance that cause. By contrast, Pelosi and Biden clearly are committed to what Barack Obama famously called a “fundamental transformation.” You don’t fundamentally transform something you love.
What critical theorists refuse to admit is that they themselves, with
the freedom of speech that they so often abuse, are the beneficiaries of
the American experiment. They are even less likely to admit that the
woke thinking they encourage would establish a new social order in which
large swaths of the population would be relegated to second-class
citizenship or worse (try getting into Harvard if you are of Asian
ancestry), and in which violence against members of certain groups,
including the elderly, is increasing.
Hunter Biden won’t ever be charged with a crime, but MAGA will be
hounded by federal police. When the political opposition is targeted for
destruction by those in power, a country is no longer free.
According to the Associated Press, the American population increased by 1.2 million due to the flood of illegal aliens, with the U.S. Census Bureau declaring on Thursday that the total population had increased to about 333.2 million people.
One such positive event is that more people are waking up to three important realities:
- We shouldn’t blindly trust anyone in power, whether it’s government managing the people, doctors managing healthcare, corporations managing our money, or journalists managing truth.
- Freedom is under attack on multiple fronts and the separation between those who embrace liberty and those who do not has never been more crystal clear.
- Many of those crazy “conspiracy theories” the masses were programmed to lambaste or ignore are turning out to be true in whole or in part.
Good decisions lead to good consequences.
And bad decisions lead to bad consequences.
Wake up America, because time is quickly slipping away.
Voters gave the GOP control of the House to check the excesses of the Biden administration. Yet the Republican Party rubber-stamped a bill that would fund the government until September 2023, surrendering the one power that the majority has - controlling the purse on federal spending.
The Epoch Times confirms a massive 23% cut in SS benefits is coming soon:
A new Congressional Budget Office report projects an even more dire outlook for Social Security’s future than was previously calculated. Without action to fix the situation, huge benefit cuts for recipients will begin in 2033. And preventing those cuts will require massive tax increases for working Americans beginning immediately.
Social Security has a spending problem. Social Security started out as a 2 percent tax, and the program promised to never take more than 6 percent of workers’ paychecks. Today, it takes 12.4 percent, and even that falls far short of the program’s ever-rising costs. The CBO projects that Social Security’s costs will increase by 42 percent over the next 75 years as its revenues remain stable. Protecting Social Security requires reining in its excessive cost growth.
Inaction means benefit cuts of 23 percent beginning in 2033. Current law requires that Social Security benefits come from within the program, so once the trust fund runs dry, Social Security will only be able to pay as much in benefits as it receives in taxes. That will mean a roughly $5,000 cut in annual benefits for a typical retiree and about $4,000 less for the average disability beneficiary. No one—not even 98-year-olds—will be exempt from these cuts.

Over the past few months, a great deal of attention has been focused on the Biden administration’s decision to draw down the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), a blatant attempt to manipulate the price of oil to desperately drive down gasoline prices at the pump.
This decision was purely political, and it represents a new low in American politics — the blatant use of publicly owned, strategic resources to sway votes in this year’s midterm elections.The Fed had essentially created the ultimate “get rich quick scheme”, and countless Americans were more than happy to take advantage of it.
Amazing how truth kicks narrative in the ass when the narrative side can no longer hide the truth
