SAF = Slowly At First
As unsettled things begin to take on increased frequency and concern, and at the suggestion of some long-time Treeper members, I agree there may be a benefit to sharing information with each other from our regions.
We are unlikely to get a fulsome understanding of what is taking place nationally from any media outlet. Indeed, there is a greater likelihood of disturbances and regional issues being downplayed and dismissed as they were in the “knock-out game” era. So, I am going to occasionally post SAF articles where discussion on regional security issues, disturbances that appear coordinated, can be shared among our Treehouse community.
All future SAF posts will be password protected, at least for the first 24 hours. This will permit me to review the conversation prior to (if at all) removing the restriction and allowing public review. By now, all CTH readers should be familiar with the password for protected posts.
Consider the SAF threads a specific focus where we can address concerns of regional conflict, civic disturbance or any concerns that appear to threaten the tranquility of our area, neighborhood, region, village or location. The SAF threads will be a place where you can review what is happening on a more national basis and get an idea of what types of potential threats to civil disorder might be starting to surface.
These SAF threads are for you. For us to understand the scale and scope of any civic unrest that might be happening. Your comments are the point of the SAF posts, and I will also put any larger national story into the equation for discussion. A simple state and area are all that is needed for sharing, ie, central Mississippi, Virginia southern coast, etc. No need to get specific, just ground reports with general proximity identified.
Additionally, if you have general advice, suggestions, thoughts or plans that you have put into place and feel may benefit the audience, feel free to share your advice and suggestions. Again, this is a conversation.
The purpose is three-fold. One, so we have an understanding of what is happening. Two, so we can share and counsel with best ideas and suggestions. Three, so that we realize we are not alone.
More later.
Love to all,

Does anyone get nervous that having a concealed carry permit (in the $&*@# states that require them) could potentially put you and your address on a “list”? (You know – a place to raid and demolish first sort of a list)
That’s a given to some extent.Don’t make it a deciding point…..Lists are irrelevant in chaos. Actually, if you are too concerned about being on a list, probably shouldn’t be posting anything here!
That’s just “Rumours” I hear.
I’ve thought about that too, but in Pennsylvania where I live there are just too darn many of us with the permits. It would take an army to gather us all up.
The entire northern “Rust Belt” has millions of hunters, those aren’t CC, but you do have to permit to kill a doe…….^^^. Indeed, there are MILLIONS….
Here’s your army: “. . . bring in millions of military age foreigners with little sympathy for the existing culture, then in the midst of collapse and conflict offer them automatic citizenship and benefits if they join the military”.

If they show up on our doorstep, we “lost” most of ours in the nearby lake.
Central Indiana here. Daughter a junior in high school in a public high school 30 miles NW of Indianapolis.
Kids had a college fair at school two days ago. Turned into a mosh pit. Kids pushing and shoving each other. Daughter and her male friend had to vacate and got off to the sidelines for fear of being hurt or crushed.
Kids are doing the same in the hallways. One particular staircase they call the “Staircase of Death” because kids cram in it and shove one another down the stairs.
The natives are restless and borderline criminally insane.
The Superintendent of this school district bragged about his kahoots with a former President of the Superintendents Union killing legislation here in Indiana to limit K-12 indoctrination of all alphabet kinds. Said if the legislation passed it would “remove humanity from the schools”. I saw satan fully take over that man that day. Sinister and hellish.
We are in a nightmare and our kids know it is all wrong.
Another frequent thing – is police cars escorting school buses. They tell the kids it is to police traffic that speeds past the bus when it is stopped and letting children on or off. It is still really weird to watch a police office escort your child’s school bus.
“Kids pushing and shoving each other”
Now is that “kids” or “mostly white kids” or “some black kids”?
I don’t mean to racialize it but it’s a critical piece of information for understanding the significance of your reporting.
If it’s a mostly white student population, I’d interpret it as some measure of general social disintegration or abandonment of responsible behavior … and “moshing” is a well-known behavior among white kids, it was popular in punk music and 90s punk-metal
But if it’s largely black kids initiating this misbehavior, it means another thing entirely to me.
BECAUSE – we’re often told about so-called “fights” in schools
As in: “a fight broke out” … or “the school day was suspended because of fights”
Only to learn later that the “fights” were not instances of mutual combat between two kids squaring off
… but instead were a 4-on-1 beatdown of a white kid by blacks
So are you describing simple rowdiness, or is there another subtext underlying?
Thx in advance
Nim, her school is predominantly white in what is considered an agricultural town.
That town is part of a mass takeover of farmland by Eli Lilly up the I-65 corridor heading into Chicago. They’re urbanizing RAPIDLY. Massive amounts of concrete tilt up warehouses built literally within 2 years. Everywhere the eye turns, rich farmland is being paved over.
Drugs (and pharma) are big problems.
One would have thought the local representatives would have fought the farmland takeover, especially being themselves multi generational farmers, but they appear to being picked off one by one by strange and mysterious deaths, one murder, and too close for comfort installed elections.
The adjacent towns are home to elite including Pence. His town is led by liberals but with huge RINO wealthy population.
One would expect rural agricultural areas to be more conservative, but Indiana is one huge dichotomy of giving off appearances of one thing, and the reality being something entirely different.
Think Pence. Think fake Christians. Think RINOS.
The kids at the schools are being goaded into violence. The materials and the propaganda. Remember the assignment to draw in great detail cannibalism???
Yeah. It’s like a boot camp for raising serial killers. I am NOT KIDDING.
In my opinion, the kids are identifying the “weak ones” and they are exhibiting violence to create a hierarchy of power. It is a gang like mentality. They are separating and drawing into factions. I have lots of proof of this and experience witnessing the behavior.
“One would have thought the local representatives would have fought the farmland takeover, especially being themselves multi generational farmers, but they appear to being picked off one by one by strange and mysterious deaths, one murder, and too close for comfort installed elections.”
I have some acquaintances in Illinois, they tell me most normal people have no idea how hard the Democrat party has that state on lock down, and the level of corruption that permeates that state.
You are seeing it applied, live, in real time. Dig down into the transactions of those new industrial properties, and I guarantee you will see payoffs, kickbacks, and favors galore, and those being wacked are the ones not playing ball.
Democrats rule Illinois from their Chicago HQ, and I mean rule in every sense of the word. Did you see how fast that fat POS governor got the AWB done? Three days from start to finish, and now the entire government is telling everyone trying to challenge it in state court to F off.
Average White Band? What else does that stand for?
maybe it’s ABW instead
Average Band of White ruffians
Assault Weapons Ban?
(for the non-telepathic readers)
“Public Act 102-1116, the Protect Illinois Communities Act (Act). The Act regulates the sale and distribution of assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and switches in Illinois.
The Act went into effect immediately upon signing. Individuals who possessed assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and other devices listed in the Act before it took effect are required to submit an endorsement affidavit through their Firearm Owner’s Identification Card account.
On September 15, 2023, ISP filed an emergency rule with the Illinois Secretary of State to implement the Act. “

I’d remove my daughter from that school before she gets hurt – or worse.
Agreed! She is old enough to do online Homeschool online on her own. I homeschooled one of my grandsons.
I home schooled mine too for the last couple of years I had them at home.
Online homeschool is just more crap curriculum. Just homeschool and find a good homeschool co-op for extra academics.
Depending on the state’s laws on homeschooling, there are plenty of ways to homeschool online with good resources. Abeka is a Christian based homeschool curriculum. I did a pick and choose program custom designed to my grandson’s interests and ways of learning. In his junior year he completed three college courses from Hillsdale online. Where we are you do have to register with the state that you are homeschooling but the curriculum you choose is up to you. Way better education than the indoctrination daycare.
Bless you!
There was no where else to go. We’ve had private school for 10 years and attempted homeschooling course over summer and it was unsuccessful. I’m a single mom and must work to provide for us. She has a learning impairment and thus needs special education assistance. You don’t know me, but I’m an excellent and diligent mother who loves my daughter with every ounce of my being, but I’m not a superhero. I do not have the help needed to be able to homeschool her and no, it is not possible for her to do online school even teacher-led. I cannot be in the course with her due to my demanding job that keeps us housed and fed.
She doesn’t need online school. Buy her books, if she can read she can teach herself. If she doesn’t that’s the first thing to remediate, you will be teaching yourself all your life so start now.
For science labs there’s ways to do that if she’s interested- co-op, tutor, etc.
I homeschooled mine as a single working parent. Their work, my supervision at night or weekends checking and helping. We had a great time, was the best thing I ever did in my life.
I know Indiana has a lot of homeschoolers.
I understand. We can pray for a hedge of protection for her.
I am certain that you are a good Mom, doing your best.
I hope you can find the help you need to keep your family safe and pray the Lord watches over you.
Thanks very much for the details, JWoo
That allows a much more specific diagnosis, which I’d describe as social decay among the white community as “multi-generational farmers” – as you say – with churchgoing ethics are replaced by suburban morality, or lack-of, to be more accurate.
Sounds bad, and sounds like you’ve got a pretty good assessment of what you’re up against
Good luck in protecting your daughter as best you can
Jobless kids – fewer part time jobs e.g. newspaper delivery or now professionalized, higher priced menial services
There are PLENTIFUL jobs… however there is much mismanagement as which happened to my daughter when she was harassed by another male teen at her job. It was escalating and she quit their employ because the kid was relentless and they broke 10 of their own employment manual rules.
She was making $11/hour, scheduled 28 hours, and LOVED her job. But she refused to be publicly tormented and after HR failed her repeatedly… she left.
The owner was too big a coward to call me… she is a minor and the kid mean mugs her at school, so she’s vigilant. He’s one of the few black kids.
Her work is riddled with coworkers from a very bad part of Indianapolis, which is a terrible Detroit 2.0. We live just close enough for them to travel 20 minutes to work up here. It will be interesting to see what happens to that not-so-Christian-after-all establishment.
There are jobs everywhere!!! The kids aren’t staying due to their own mismanagement stories. We decided to wait for her to work in the summer, but social climate will dictate where she goes.
My daughter sees it now as her Christian mission field. Years ago, my daughter told me she wanted to serve in Lebanon (Beirut) as a missionary… much to my deep concern. Two years in a row she brought it up. Fast forward seven years later, she’s in Lebanon… but not Beirut fulfilling a long ago unanticipated prophecy.
Tell me there is no God and I’ll point you to the miracles and directions in our lives. We had no early idea we would ever be here. The homes directly across the street from us are another school district.
We are the furthermost Lebanon area served.
Yes. I believe we are in our final days plainly outlined in Revelation.
God Is with us every step of the way.
And why are any kids in government schools? For God’s sake, get them out! The curriculum is trash anyhow and the entire institution gets more stupid every year.
The REAL QUESTION is why is our GOVERNMENT going after our KIDS???
Do not blame the symptoms. Blame the root cause. We need to get to the root and rip it out and prevent it from ever taking root again.
We can thank POS Holcomb and POS representatives (a joke of a word) for all of that. They have Red for Ed day in Indy every year. Have to kiss dept.of education ass.
And of course Big Harma is everywhere here chewing up farmland.
Indiana makes it difficult for farmers to stay in business.
KCMarcyMc – ditto to your description of WEF-darling Holcomb and the merry band of POS misfits running our state including the do-nothing-good AG Rokita.
I just changed my advice, above,to homeschool.
Can you possibly leave the area, move somewhere else?
Your area seems to have been targeted for destruction of the the rural, family oriented lifestyle, by some faction that is quite serious about taking over (strange and mysterious deaths, murder, etc.)
Leaving can be scary and uncomfortable and difficult, but the peace of mind you gain will be worth it.
An additional factor to remember is that ingredients in the injections have been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier. If those children were administered the product by choice or mandate, that may be a part of the explanation. (Various sources tracking all sorts of stories re sudden/unexpected at home deaths, very odd vehicle accidents, collapses, turbo cancers, etc.)
As a school aged kid in L A in the sixties I can tell you that the “4-on-1” thing by the melanin-ly gifted has been a thing for a long time.
Parents who care will get their kids o u t o f p u b l I c s c h o o l s while they still can.
Sadly that isn’t possible for everyone. Especially if your kids are under 16 and you are single and have to work. There is no one solution for everyone. I once belonged to a forum where one of the members moved to Mexico and he spent every post warning everyone should do what he did. I gently mentioned that I have a family I am not interested in leaving behind and logistically it wasn’t possible for them to leave. He replied that speaking to me was like talking to a wall. I left it at that.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Necessity is the mother of invention.
True – however sometimes we have to concede to God’s will even if it seems like a difficult road. We all have a path. The trick is holding on to faith, listening, obeying and trusting. 🙂
That guy is now on CTH! He goes by the name “Bob” or “Bobos.”
Yes, meemanator, the “view” is good from the cheap seats. I’m no slouch, nor an idiot. I do 100% the BEST for my daughter every day of my life. Homeschooling is impossible for us.
An EXCEPTIONAL homeschool experience is with The Potter’s School. Exceptional.
We cannot do it. It is not possible and I am not going to belabor the discussion verses people who simply don’t have a clue. (No intention at disrespecting you, meemanator.)
I am not the only person in a situation such as ours – there are several who simply must work and don’t have luxury of a husband paying the mortage or providing.
My challenge back to you all and the community at large is:
“WHY ARE COMMUNITIES DOING NOTHING TO PROTECT THEIR SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN?”
It is our taxes funding this #@$%show – and why should we give ground in this assault????
Communities, COMPANIES, legislators – need TO FIGHT BACK. Companies suffer when they have an uneducated, unmotivated work force. Fund BLM or any alphabet-style group – well, you get what you pay for.
There’s nothing more that the criminals want than for us to just leave.
I don’t think it is because people don’t love their kids. It is because in the middle of living life, juggling all the things parents nowadays have to deal with, the foxes sneaked into the hen house and the Marxists began altering the curriculum. I have a lengthy story about the origins of Common Core math that goes back to the 60s. It wasn’t until the plandemic and kids having to do zoom classes that parents suddenly discovered what was being taught. It takes generations for this kind of destruction to do its damage. Now it’s fully infested from the lowest grades through universities. Some parents are pushing back and the dad who was arrested for calling out the school board for covering up his daughter’s rape is finally getting some justice. I hope it is a wake up call for others.
Can you possibly homeschool?
Maybe get a grandparent to do so if you must work outside the home?
You and your child will be much better off if you can.
I love this idea, Sundance! Thanks!
Outside of this forum, here in the real world, if I take a few hundred steps back, and squint my eyes super tight, everything looks great! LOL
Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.
I honestly don’t currently travel in any circles I’d wish to interact with intellectually. The community I moved into in FL, from MI, has me a bit bitter. Good sheeple, trodding along. They mostly get it, from and ‘i don’t much care’ perspective. Put it this way: they’re still all drinking Bud Light, but complain about their grocery bills.
Work is work, a mix, but not the place to get too in depth.
I fear TOO MANY people in TOO MANY communities are this way.. good sheeple, taking the path of least resistance. I’m in Florida too.. and too many are moving here from very liberal areas, and so very content because their new area of residency is so much better than the one they left… until…
NE FL here and, while Bud Light still remains on the shelves for the moment, we do have our fair share of libs who started as snowbirds but have now decided to pick up sticks and stay. As for the sheeple – I’ve tried my best to enlighten those within my sphere of influence but, for the most part, they prefer living in their bubbles. There’s only so much one can do…
Save yourself and whomever else has ears to hear.
Even Jesus couldn’t get through to everyone.
FROM LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT FACEBOOK…..
In light of recent events in the Middle East and statements regarding planned gatherings on Friday, October 13th, … wants to assure our residents that we are monitoring local and federal information centers, such as the Crime Prevention Information Center and the State Terrorism & Intelligence Center. If necessary, will share important information with our citizens.
While we do not anticipate any coordinated activities in our town, will increase our patrol efforts to ensure the safety of all our community members and businesses.

Philly burbs. I’ve been ready since I heard “we comin’ to da suburbs nex” during the early days of the St George riots in summer ’20.
I’ll pay ’em to come down my street.Lol!
Same here. One street neighborhood about 50 miles outside St. Louis; one way in and one way out. And every single house has plenty of firepower.
St. Louis City and half St. Louis County is commies. Go 30 miles out in any direction is Wolverine land.
Hope you all have organized.
I grew up in philly. and 4 to 1 odds where kind of normal when it came to black kids fighting whites. and it been that way since the late 1960’s. best thing you can do is teach your kids to fight. not the normal way either. down in the street no rules
way of fighting. I was lucky, they still had books on that still in the local library on the fighting skills used in WW2
they where age restricted of course. so I got my older sister to get them out for me. and I learned how to fight to win.
I know of no schools that teach this outside of the military. but the books you can still get from the Zon.
hen I did join the army, in training I put the instructor on his ass 3 times in a row. we became friends after that.
he had a black belt in something (?) anyway. sometimes the old way are best. anything by Fairbain or Applegate should work. they bein there and done it kind of guys and they passed on what works. I taught my kids and my grandson how to do it. you should as well.
I grew up in L A in the sixties. Same norms here but add whar they used to call “chicanos ” to that mix. Even worse were the packs of delinquent boys of all races who would beat up girls, take their lunch money, and try to lift up their dresses and pull down their underwear. Teachers and principles did little if anything to stop them. It took decades to deal with the PTSD that it caused. I say “deal with” because you never really heal completely.
If people haven’t been looking in the right places here is one of many who are saying the same thing.
Prepare and live your best life every minute of every day because the evil that is among us is planning.

Eastern Missouri here. I’m 8 weeks away from retiring from a major defense contractor. My rep where I live is Ann Wagner, but where I work it’s Cori Bush. Can’t wait to see if the local Palestinian horde is screaming at the gate entrance tomorrow morning.
And you think Ann Wagner is a better deal? She who was reported as”crying” upon the vacate of the speaker of the House by CNN? She’s part of the problem/ your district is targeted to get sucked in.
No. I want a real conservative to primary her. I voted against her in the last primary.
She’s a fake conservative and loyal McCarthy fan girl.

Heart on enemy territory in Cook county IL. If you are not tripping over illiterate, illegal invaders laying down on sidewalks due to overcrowding in the government buildings they’re trying to stash them all, you’re bound to slip in the rivers of blood flowing in our streets accelerated by the death of St. George Floyd and the capitulation of public safety forces to anarcho-tyranny. The jacobins in charge here have now decided that bail is racist, so even habitual violent offenders are released with a polite request to turn up to a hearing at some point in future. This while the media here are reminding the law abiding to register all “aasault weapons” and magazines that hold 10 or more rounds with state authorities. No one in their right mind is cooperating with this insane edict at least. When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus.
‘When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus.’
This is worth remembering and repeating. May I repeat it?
All wisdom at CTH is up for adoption, especially old wisdom such as this.
I’ll have to remember that saying.
Aptly describes a white building in DC.
Observations: I was at an FOT convention last week. I arrived early one morning as did two 60ish females. I’m listening only as the conversation turned political. By their statements, they could perch on most any limb in this tree. One from NYC of Italian descent, and the other from South Carolina. I wanted to say how surprised I was at their opinions – but just enjoyed it with a smile and head nod.
Preparation: We live on a small cattle ranch in Eastern Texas. We keep fuel for the tractors, trucks and generators. I really recommend the Keltec 14 circle shat kun. Just don’t feed it with the 3” circles. The 2-3/4 is a better choice. The clerk asked, several years ago, ‘do you want the desert color or the black one. I replied, ‘Yes’. One for up and downstairs.
After the last 8 years I know how I feel. I know many people feel the same. I would not want to FAFO with people in America right now.
East Texas also
Way to go, East Texas!!! I’m with ya!
P.S. See you soon.
Thank you. Sorry to ask, but what is FOT?
Friends Of Texas, mebbe?
Hi DanTexas,
Gotta ask: FOT= Frens of a Stable Genius?
Just got myself a Keltec P9. Pretty happy with it.

I suggest to practice situational awareness, everywhere, but especially in safe, familiar surroundings where you are comfortable. Everywhere you are, scan for things that look out of place. Scan for potential threats, potential concealment spots for aggresors, potential visual and physical safety barriers for yourself and family. When you walk into a restaurant, note locations of ingress or egress.
Make a game out of it. Pretend you’re a spy.
Please do not purchase a firearm unless you are prepared to spend the time and money to become proficient. I highly recommend the Mantis X to practice grip, aim, and trigger control in the comfort and convenience of your home.
I strongly disagree that people should remain hapless and helpless until they’ve amassed spare time and cash to reach some arbitrary level of training. I usually only read that thought out of people who really don’t want armed citizens in the first place…
… if for some reason you’re in the disarmed class, change that first and improve yourself as you can. It’s enjoyable and you have the rest of your life to get better (both an encouragement and a warning).
almost anything can be used as a weapon if you think about it. one time I show my co-workers how the stupid ID badge cord could be used. they where shocked when I used it to grab control of one of their hands and pulled them off balance with it. as they used to tell us in training, the most important space is between your ears. use it !
a rolled up newspaper or magazine makes a nice club if need be. jab with the end to the eyes or strike with it

Currently visiting the Metro DC area. Have been trying to open my husband’s eyes lately, as I need him to get his initial reaction out of the way now so that he can think clearly and we can work as a team during the upcoming troubles.
Today we visited the Holocaust Museum. By the time we finished the lead up to WWII, he turned to me and expressed some genuine concern as to how similarly things are going today. I think he’s coming around to understand the danger we soon will be facing.
Tomorrow we will not go in to the city. We have plans to visit Annapolis, and still intend to go. Hopefully we don’t end up regretting that decision. We will absolutely have our heads on a swivel as we attempt to enjoy our day.
You and your husband will be in my prayers, as I pray each day for our nation and its citizens. Please take care.
Don’t forget to enjoy Annapolis Ice Cream Co on Main. The best anywhere.

my job requires significant travel across the country in major markets. brief observations. 1) i only eat food bought in grocery stores. it is obvious people are shocked by prices. folks buying very small amounts of stuff. rarely do I see people buying beef, fish etc. carts are all but empty. 2) the last 4 flights or so i’ve noticed a significant drop in passengers on south worst air. non-stop hou to tpa was 5/6 empty on monday. only 30 passengers. had to spread us out for weights and balance. hotel basically empty ( major chain). spot parking lot empty, too. plenty of rental cars available.

BREAKING: Planned Parenthood announces the IDF has destroyed their only facility in Gaza in an airstrike
What’s the downside?
Obvious I think but as a Christian I ought not have even thunk it!
Nazarene huh? My late father was a nazarene pastor going back to the 1940s, raising us in the denomination.
And yet more winning.
Boo hoo.
Great. Now destroy all the locations in Israel too. And the IDF might want to stop providing 2 FREE abortions to enlisted troops.
Cool.
I pity the foolish jihadist who tries anything around here. MississippiAlabama boundary lines. Thousands of farmboys old and young who’ve served in ‘Nam and every other battlefield since. Every one of them I’ve spoken with have known for years that Pentagon brass were selling them out. Payback is overdue…D.C. is at the top of the list.
yeah, same thing here in the hills of pa. a whole lot of vets, most are from the combat arms side too. and everyone of them sick of Dc clowns. one of the reasons why I moved to this area. kind of like coming home. and as we all help each other out with stuff/jobs whatever, I think there not going to be many problems in this area. most of us just want to be left alone.
even the wife loves it up here now. very peaceful.
Where I live in the Mojave USED to be that way. But the local powers that be sold us out to the greedy developers years ago. Now I hardly recognize the place. Just yesterday they had to evacuate the local Tractor Supply because of a bomb threat of all things!
I’ll be under my bed all day tomorrow, only coming out for bathroom breaks.
but, there are monsters under the bed….
Remember after 9/11 when the government gave us notices for what the terrorism level for that day was?
They used different colors to tell us how high or low the threat was for that day.
Remember those?
Do you feel like we are sleep walking into a trap? Because I feel like we are being set up.
I’ve felt that way since Nov. 2020.
Um, I think it’s aquamarine alert, right now.
So that’s good *or* bad then. Right?
Yeah, the colors for threat level. Like we’re preschoolers.
All BS. Just like the Bin Laden video updates
The only people I know of who are *very* concerned about this are those who have loved ones in places like Israel and Lebanon right now. And I, too am very concerned about/for them.
Other than that, I’m just trying to make sure I’m pretty well stocked up w/ whatever I need in case TSHTF over here in the States. Cuz no one in their right mind would rely on the Biden Admin. to NOT eff things up in the most extraordinary way possible. But I haven’t really seen any evidence of massive changes in shopping habits around here in N.E FL.
Maybe some real low-level anxiety in the background for most people. I think/know a LOT of people are purposely making a point of NOT focusing on the news out of that region. I mean, everyone knows this is not a good thing.
Greenwich Village. I am in the midst of selling a family business we’ve had for 30 years. I finally got to the place where I couldn’t stand to go into work anymore. Several weeks ago after trying to defend female customers from 3 male Africans in their 20s driving down the wrong way of the street and sidewalk on illegal motorbikes, I was spit at and eventually assaulted to the point of hospitalization. When I began to wonder if I would be the one prosecuted I knew it was time to get out before it was too late. As I walked out of the hospital the top news story was a judge I had once been in front of for a vendor dispute deciding on his own if he could basically take President Trump’s NYC business assets. I made the decision there and then to call a broker and get out. I’m hoping to be in Charleston by the New Year.
Praying for your safety, Lee.
It’s not easy, but I pray you find peace after you get out.
You are doing the right thing! Not an easy decision but you will make it the right one – best of luck to you and Charleston is s beautiful place to stay awhile 👍
Good for you for getting out!
And Charleston is *such* a beautiful city. Wishing you all the best there!
Godspeed, Lee. Right decision, I think. I used to live uptown. Stay safe.
I hope tomorrow is a big nothing. Nonetheless, we probably all need to be hyper aware for the foreseeable future.
Praying a mighty hedge around you of Jaweh’s warrior angels. Also prayers that your business sells quickly and you’re in Charleston before Christmas.
In the Finger Lakes region of western NYS in a predominant white suburb. People pretty much keep to themselves. They hardly look each other in the eye – afraid of a confrontation I guess. Stores are busy – not packed but busy. NOBODY goes into the three major cities due to the crime. Although no one expresses it, it appears most people are very apprehensive about the future.
In Phoenix. I’ve told my family and anyone I know who might listen, to stay home and be alert tomorrow. I work for a state agency and I will just say that they see things a lot differently. I see other issues there, but that’s another thread. Hope everyone is safe. God bless.
North Georgia – Umarked federal vehicles on the roads everywhere. I have never seen so many in my life.
No other information, just shocked at how many i see in safe conservative stronghold areas while the city of Atlanta has no police presence.
We are in N. Georgia too. Hubs just had back surgery so he is working from home last two weeks. We haven’t been out and about so I can’t speak to seeing unmarked fed cars but I did make a Costco run on Monday. I’ve never seen so many people. It was like a Saturday. I like shopping where you can pile up supplies on a push cart and no one notices or cares why.
Atlanta has what they want. No police, no prosecutions.
BV here….. Omaha, NE ….nothing to report at this time…..stay frosty out there … 🙂
“Israel tells the UN that all civilians in northern Gaza should evacuate within 24 hours”
— banner on TV news
— “UN”, mind you
meanwhile:
Egypt Shuts Down its Border to Palestinian Refugees from Gaza
… and other MidEast nations are NOT stepping up to accept Gaza refugees (there’s a headline but now I can’t find it again)
JUST IN: Israel Warns UN to Evacuate the Northern Gaza Strip Within 24 Hours
Let’s be real here. If Gazans leave, Israel will never let them return. They abandon Gaza and Israel will annex it.
Oh noes.
Yes!
Works for me!
Plenty of room in Iran for ’em!
Nothing new.
None of the neighboring countries have ever wanted anything to do with the “Palestinians.” They languished in refugee camps for YEARS in Jordan.
Morning Nim, yes, I saw that and Jordon isn’t letting them in either.
They don’t want the crazies coming in.
We should have worked with Israel to have given away to Iran a “free Palestinian” with every $10 million bucks we gave them.
Kind of like when they gave away a free dish towel in every box of laundry detergent, back in the 1960’s.
Money. If actually possessing real money and silver and gold is made illegal, I have read that people should still keep a lot of money including small change as other people are more likely to accept something they are familiar with.
Nobody could use silver or gold bars to buy a loaf of bread.
If everybody accepts real money as a medium of exchange the govt can’t do much about it.
However do not put the money into a bank as they will confiscate it and it will be burned or melted tgus decreasing the supply and causing inflation.
Ditto vending machines.
Junk silver.
Pre-1965 US coins.
90% silver content, clearly denominated,multiple denominations, familiar to most folks.
Still legal tender.
Don’t think of them as an investment, but rather a store of value and a means to trade, once things settle down.
Not an investment advisor.
Do your own research.
Have a student at Temple University in North Philadelphia. The crime has always been a problem in North Philly but this year it has moved to literally on campus. And what’s even more alarming is the random murders. People just walking up to people on the street and shooting them in broad daylight. Not gang shootings, just completely random.
why on god earth would you let your kid go there ? back in the early 1990’s I used to work at HUP. here a fun fact.
the U of Penn had the 4th largest police force in the state in 1992-3. and both temple and Jeff are not far behind them either.
why ? because if the parents knew just how bad it was, they never send their kids there. no 30-50 grand a year school wants that to happen. when I worked at the VA in west philly, the cops all shared info with each other. the crime stats where held on the down low big time. and that was in 2003-2012 or so. I even kept my guard up when I was in the area. I know how bad it is. the chances of a kid getting mugged or worse in better than 50% in that area. I always kept a weapon on me back when I was working there. and I am not what you would call a “easy target” either.
Let me guess. Black on Asian or white
it was worse than that, think happy stupid kids with no idea where they are. doesn’t matter what color the kids are
they all prey to them. used to work 3 rd shift covering the ER. we always had a lot of kids come in battered or raped . it made you sick after a while and you could not tell them any different either. the world was a wonderful place to them. yeah, right. after the 3 or 4 run in with the locals. most of them wised up somewhat.
but think about it, your average kid in school is carrying a big buck phone, a watch. some other shiny things
and has either cash or cards they can steal and sell or use. I see some of them come in almost naked as they will take the clothes off their backs. you see a kid in school. they see anywhere from 500 to 2 grand on the hoof.
Might be time to make a hard choice.
Safety vs. school of choice.
My job will require me to go into the heart of downtown Dallas tomorrow, driving around the streets in a big-ass truck making deliveries. Honk and wave if you see me. The State Fair of Texas is going on now too, right outside the downtown core. Beautiful weather, thousands of people out and about, enjoying the Fair. I’ll be working that area too. Had a delivery actually inside the Fairgrounds the other day. I haven’t seen anything unusual this week, save for one small incident. I turned a corner onto a side street next to the Fair, and there in the middle of the street these two “yutes” were doing this fight club thing right out in the open. I rolled to a stop about 50 meters away and watched for developments. After a short series of solid blows landed by each player, they appeared to shrug and calmly walk off together. Strangest thing.
I’m going to coordinate with the dispatcher tomorrow and work out something where he calls me once an hour or something. If he doesn’t hear from me, release the hounds, or some such. Unfortunately I can’t take my SXP with me, and I’m not driving what anyone would consider a getaway vehicle.
So, it’s going to be an interesting day.
>I’m not driving what anyone would consider a getaway vehicle.
Heck of a lot of torque and momentum may be more important than speed, as long as one doesn’t stop and get the Reginald Denny welcome.
It’s funny how the same rule in trucking applies both in the downtown city and out in the rural areas on a muddy road.
Whatever you do, don’t stop!
Love your writing, Jeff! LOL!
You’re too kind.
I saw your post earlier and it got me right here. Much respect to you, and I wish you the best out there in AZ.
Thank you, Jeff. Wishing you the same.
Hope it’s a boring day tomorrow, Jeff. Stay safe.
Thanks, will do.
I’m going to tell the superiors tomorrow that I “reserve the right” to bail out if I feel the need.
Me: “It isn’t a request.”
Thank you Sundance, this may soon become an invaluable resource. I’m in central California Sacramento/Placer County area.
Southern Ohio is being flooded by immigrants. Catholic Charities is suspected of making bank on their influx. Anyone else experiencing this in Indiana or Kentucky?
Read archives here on Catholic Charities. They rake in hundreds of millions of our tax dollars annually.
Mid size town in Eastern out ce Washington has a big Catholic Charities building and several old hotels nearby have been revamped, updated, and added on to. Awake locals are expecting an influx of border jumpers.
Relatives in a “sanctuary city” in Ohio tell me that since the start of the Obama 3.0 regime, there are things you can’t find at thrift stores anymore, like winter coats and blankets. They say prices have gone up almost 50% at some thrift stores. Every time they go, they see increasing numbers of out-of-place, non-English-speaking, traditional-garb-wearing people who stick out like sore thumbs. Sometimes they appear to outnumber the Americans. They are observed using vouchers to “pay” for everything. Family member has never seen one of them use a credit card or cash. At first it was mainly central Americans, now they’re coming from everywhere except Western democracies.
The main thrift stores associated with this are the Goodwills. They must be getting a huge payout from the likes of Catholic Charities.
P.S. I’ve been gone for awhile. Can someone remind me of the password?
Picture with horses at the top of the page ^ ^ ^
East central AL, on the edges of Birmingham’s metro area. Not much going on out of the ordinary. People out here are friendly, keep an eye out and help their neighbors, are well armed, and don’t tolerate BS. Congresscritter is that squish Mike Rogers (AL). Senator Tommy Tuberville has been a very pleasant surprise.
Please tell Tommy to stay strong!
He’s representing more than Alabama!
cdquarles Yes Tommy Tuberville has been a very pleasant surprise. I called his office to thank him for taking a stand. I’m in lowest Alabama. Local news last night spotlighted a lady who managed to get out of Israel and back home yesterday. Groceries are still high, and somethings are just no longer stocked. Praying and prepping!
We had an Amazon delivery yesterday morning at around 8:45. Both the Mr and I were outdoors in the front yard. He had our Springer Spaniel on her leash, and I was commandeering our two very small “grand-dog” guests for the day, also on leashes. An older private passenger vehicle pulled up in front of the house and the driver parked roadside. I’m one of those “head on a swivel” types, so I was glad my husband was right there.
The driver got out of the car, and checked the house number. He seemed unsure of himself, and my internal warning system engaged as we exchanged greetings. I thought he was probably Hispanic but once he spoke I knew there was no Spanish going on. I’m a language geek and pay close attention to speech patterns as well as other details that may help to unwrap a stranger’s identity.
The tiny dogs were curious and wanted to approach him. The big dog was on the front porch with Papa. The driver was clearly ill at ease about the up-close little pooches, who were completely under control, but it was an uncomfortable situation for him – and his unease got my attention. Like you, we are on red alert, and my inner voice was reminding me that people of my acquaintance through the years, who hailed from muslim dominant regions, had all demonstrated what seems to be a universal fear / dislike of dogs.
The driver had a single item package in hand, wrapped only in clear plastic, and I recognized that it was part of an Amazon order. I offered to take it at the curb but he declined, saying that he had to “take the picture” – meaning deliver pkg to front door and take the snap to prove mission accomplished.
This gentleman was neither a heritage Spanish speaker, nor speaker of any of my hobby languages. His skills in spoken English were bare survival level .
The Mr. and I remained outdoors until the delivery driver had departed. We had kept all three dogs closely secured to reassure the fellow. I don’t want to say too much about what was running through my head, but in the event that any of you are unaware: Amazon, along with other home delivery service providers, is employing people who are as likely as not to have arrived outside the legal frame of our immigration laws, and some of these may have reasons to be interested in you and the neighbors, beyond the scope of their employment.
If this possibility is insufficient as an attention getter, think about all the information required for deliveries to our home addresses. The destination info requires, and exposes, our names, our home addresses, and our cell phone numbers.
Unnerving doesn’t even begin to capture the renewed sense and circumstances of clear and present danger.
Not my will, Father, but Thy Will Be Done.
can’t think of a better way to check out an area.
if you have a steady driver/guy who drops off packages, you can learn a lot from him/her. make friends with them if you can, swap intel too. must be my old army training but you can really learn a lot from the locals.
the guy at the gas station, the UPS guy or Fedex guy knows who get what and how often
did you get that ? THEY KNOW who buys what and how often. same deal with you mail person.
the oil or gas guy who fills your tank. one thing I did after moving here was to get friendly with the local gas station guy. bring him some beer/coffee whatever. find out who is who in the area. you can find anything from a honest firewood guy to a plumber thru him. it will save you a lot of money and headaches too.
intel can mean the difference between living well or getting shafted. my 2 cents for what it worth.
Cookies are a good way to make friends with delivery guys, along with a friendly wave and a “thank you!”
C’est un peu effrayant . . . oui, ces jours sont étranges.
Prayers for your safety and that of our nation. Thank you for your post – it may save a life. May God bless you and protect you and your family.
No kids now but the ice cream truck drivers were all Arabic and yes that triggered me. Some people want to scream racism but they must consider that the reputation is well deserved. I’m really tired and angry of having to worry about dangerous people.
Things are pretty calm here in Santa Barbara. Normally there would be anti Israel March downtown by now, but not this time. A local online publication which is usually super woke posted an article about Saturday’s attack by a super liberal which was pretty fair minded about what happened. It didn’t get dog piled by the usual pro Palestinian, anti Israel comments. It was authored by a secular, atheist Jew who is now a supporter of Israel because of what happened.
it seems the heinous slaughter of youth, infants, and the elderly changed a lot of minds of many on the left. I hope it sticks.
be safe tomorrow.
Wolverines!
Could be saving it up, too; hope all goes well.
Hope so too, but it didn’t last long after 9/11.
If this war escalates, reducing terror sponsor Iran to one giant parking lot should be on the table for consideration.
Middle TN here. Not a ton to report. Debating whether to go outside tomorrow or not. Will CC if so. Local PD doesn’t have any alerts that I know of. Probably not the easiest target area as many people carry and many houses have amendment 2 fans. Actually forgot about tomorrow issue until I went back online. Haven’t broadcast it since didn’t want to be alarmist (I already tend to be the friend who shares accurate but depressing news), but think some others are aware. Hoping this is a sufficiently FAFO area that it won’t be targeted. The arse cavities (trying to keep it clean for the House) always seem to go for the soft targets.
The gender insanity is here in the high schools and even junior highs, but among the students, not the teachers, as far as I can see. (Except for one. One idiot teacher at a middle school gave fliers to students to pass out to other students; fliers were about a LGBTQetc club called “The Outside”. Teacher not local. Probably thinks he’s doing a great service to us yokels. Principal informed, but teacher still there.)
Some high school girls —usually the ones who watch too much TikTok—are claiming they’re boys. One girl unfortunately does seem to be on testosterone. Some kids are following a few of the idiotic TikTok “challenges,” notably the one about destroying your own school bathrooms. (That one does seem to be tapering off a bit, though.)
On a positive note, many people aware of Israel. Struck up a conversation with someone while waiting in a line, and it turned out she also watched Bannon and read CFP. Told her about CTH. 🙂
Stay safe out there.
I’m in the Boston area, I was lucky enough to be born in Dorchester at a Catholic hospital. Not there anymore. Probably being used for other purposes ,but I don’t know. I live in a Democrat controlled state and the leftist have inched their way in more and more over the years, Warren is an example ,here is a Senator who doesn’t know that there is no coastline in the western part of the state. And she call Bourne at the beginning of Cape Cod Burn,MA. And that not all she is a carpetbagger OKIE. And we all should know what the Kennedy;s did I think quite a while back with Immigration. They switched it so 3rd world would take precedence over traditional EU immigration.
I can’t say anything to what is really going on politically because I play no role in it and what you read in the media about it is mostly fiction. I always feel uncomfortable because of the administration occupying DC is working against me and against the country I love. For 8 years everyday I’d open a news paper or go online for news I would go out of my mind at the things they were doing . I could not believe these things were happening . I always felt he was a Manchurian candidate because he came out of nowhere a JR senator from one of the most corrupt states and counties around. And the fact that he was mentored by a card carrying Communist it all started to make sense. He was the president , but he only lived here,he was president of some Muslim country in reality and everything he did was make the Muslims better off and he always put Americans last.
I’m worried to say the least. I’m a felon so I can have a LTC or permit.I’ve had many many pistols and shot guns and various rifles over the years. my cousin’s husband taught me to shoot when I was about 12. But if the crap hits the fan I’ll figure it out. I’ve learned how to do a lot of damage with out one over the years. My brother was a mad scientist and had a masters degree in chemistry. we had a lot of fun together over the years 60’s.70’s and 80’s. I never went to high school but I learned a lot on my own. I took the HS equivalence waiting trial about 40 years ago for something to do. I walked in while they were doing it and asked whats going on here. and I said give it to me. and I almost aced the whole test.my math was poor. I only ever did basic math . I have Yankee ingenuity that I was born with GOD given! and these sobs got another thing coming if they think I will lay down and agree to a communist government ever.
I worked on the math and figured it out. I never use that crap either. I never got into the Military because I was on probation back in 75 or 76 when I tried to enlist. Nam was over and they got picky. I also tried again with the help of an outside prisoner advocate type who had a buddy who was a recruiter. But I did not have the Charm to make it happen I guess. My dad was in Normandy as were all my mothers brothers . My older brother (E5) was in during Nam but was navy on an LSD. doing resupply and such. He once told me his job was the ships payroll. him and another dude had machine guns and they would carry money back and forth to the bank. he told me his buddy walked in with it up once playing around and it cause a scene .
as a child we played army with real WW2 field phones. we had a huge spool of wire we would roll out and put then under 2 thumb wheels and boom,give it a crank and your talking to the other side. they were in leather cases. wish I had them now!!!never found any Lugars. Lots of other stuff tho. my day had all kinds of dead nazi stuff .pay books, medals silverware with the Nazi insignia. never said much about it. except the landing. he had a radio on his back and wasn’t as quick to jump,well the guy operating on the boat was in a big hurry to leave so he gave him a kick in the back. wading in he said his buddy next to hims chest just blew out. he was with my mothers brothers at times in different countries.
Well this feels long winded and probably TMI. but I’m worried when I see what has happened over the last couple years and days!
Not long-winded at all! I spent some time in Vermont near Bennington, Long Pond in Maine, Western Connecticut and Boston. Beautiful area and great people. Stay safe, Stephen!
On Mission Hill here. We see lots of Indian students but no ME that I recognize, though I’m sure they’re around. Fewer headscarves than in the past and those were almost exclusively African.
Bless you , brother.
This is not me but reporting from a friend: West VA. Young men, about 20 being dropped off by buses at the old empty K-Mart. They are not black or white, but ethnic looking. Some carrying suitcases. The K-Mart is roped off so no one can enter the area.
A few days a friend saw some guys all dressed in black, with hoodies on, standing down at the end of their street.
Northwest rural Montana. No meaningful deviation from the norms of recent past years. Should that change in any significant way, that would be NEWS, and I’ll relay it in an appropriate Ground Report thread.
Some background:
Leftist community organizing gets virtually no traction here. One bunch tried around 2010 with a nicey-nice type community group but gave up after a while.
Some Tribal member chickie came back here from her kommie kolledge in Seattle or Portland of wherever in 2020 and tried to organize some pro-BLM stuff, Going around to local businesses with BLM window signs and asking them to put them up in their window while video recording them and implying they would be racists and be shamed and boycotted if they refused. The reactions (except for the small shitlib contingent in town) ranged from the business owners whipping out their own phones and recording them back, asking them to repeat what they just said and questioning if they were being threatened if they didn’t put the sign up to “Great, you can start your boycott now by getting the f**k out of my store.” Commie Chickie managed to get one BLM march going in town which was nothing but her, a few friends, and some idiot brainwashed high schoolers walking less than a dozen blocks, on the sidewalk, watched by a few local cops there mostly to keep them using crosswalks safely and make sure things stayed calm.
If you remember the reaction BLM/Antifa got on their van tour when they tried to stop in Coeur D’Alene Idaho, where they were confronted by 3x-4x their number of heavily armed, angry patriots, the same result came during demonstrations in the couple “big cities” nearby, both over an hour away with their massive five figure populations.
I expect big blue state cities will be in chaos and flames before a single newsworthy incident happens in my neck of the very literal woods.
Sounds like a town north of me that starts with a “W.”
One thing I would suggest is that everyone acquire some off paper firearms. Print one, or build an 80%, but get one or more, in cash as much as possible.
We need to look into caches, too, so that all our tools are not in one basket.
The idea is to have functional firearm(s) that are not on any dealer’s bound book, and not in your house, so if the day comes that the FBI turns it’s Eye of Sauron on you, that they can’t totally disarm you when they raid your house.
We also need to be forming communities, because lone wolves will be the first to go. Everyone has to sleep sometime.
Wonder if estate sales might be good places to stock up on supplies?
Just passed through Las Vegas. Hotel workers were striking and there was a very large police presence. However, just an observation, it is super crowded and a “high-value” target for people who want to cause serious damage. Given the current situation with our porous border, I would avoid places like Las Vegas. The US is loaded with anti-American people.
Was scheduled to go to Vegas for an important long planned meeting but WY snowstorm stopped that. Retreated on I-80 through creepy traffic heading back East through rainy conditions. Nebraska and Iowa as friendly and safe as ever. Small town people always nice.
BUT something I have noticed in general in business and my general business dealings — everyone everywhere is on edge. I think it is because everyone is broke. Small annoyances flare up into serious confrontations. If I have to listen to one more screaming hysterical woman – ‘overwhelmed by it all’ – I will lose it. And I am a kind, helpful, empathetic, caring and sharing female attorney. At least I can tell men in a jam to try to get a grip and man up and try to deal with the bad situation together. They are cracking too. People are scared and angry and worried about paying their bills. Easily steered into being afraid of or blaming the wrong thing.
Great Depression 2.0
Mostly rural western Colorado here – all’s quiet (so far, knock on wood) on this front but we’re fixin’ to head to Texas in the next few days, heads on swivels because I have a feeling whatever happens won’t last just a day or two. Stay safe, all.
I’m not so concerned for us here in northern Mississippi, we’re pretty rural and prepared. The execption is 2 are going to be flying over the weekend.
I am concerned for my California and Nevada family. My sister in law will be in the air tomorrow flying into San Diego. One of her kids works in a warehouse a stones throw from Tijuana. There have already been illegals entering the building which tells me there is no adequate security or fencing around it. This kid also lives in an area with a high Arab population along with the ever growing homeless population.
I still believe major airports are viable targets regardless of how thorough?? TSA is.
I’m keeping them all in prayer for their safety daily.
Rest assured, TSA will protect you from all those dastardly, wheelchair-bound grannies!
So they didn’t see this coming, but a week ago they tested sending a message to every cell phone across the country. Can we get a Vegas over/under on when the first nationwide shelter in place message will be sent, so that they can round up deviant deplorables that disobey.
Central Ohio. My kids are in private school and I’m in the suburbs.
If I start reporting the “and then suddenly” part, sh!t has surely hit the fan.
Where is this password us long time readers should be familiar with?
Look at the pretty horses ^ ^ ^
Got it! Thank you.
I suggest watching this video on Rumble from Curtis Bowers. The last segment is about a small radio phone.
