A little humor with a lot of relevance:
HAVE SOME ICE CREAM!
In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: Barocky Road.
Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all plentiful.
The cost is $92.84 per scoop...so, out of a $100 bill, you are at least promised some CHANGE.
When purchased, it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but after you pay for it, the ice cream is taken out of the cone and given to the person in line behind you at no charge.
You are left with an almost-empty wallet, staring at an empty cone and wondering what just happened.
Then you realize this is what "redistribution of wealth" is all about.
Aren't you just stimulated?
I have no reference articles or sources to back this up. I just feel like writing out of the blue. This is entirely personal conjecture. My wife and I were talking about how we would retrieve our Down's syndrome son from school in the event of a disaster, martial law, act of war or terrorism, or any other type of threat.
It occurred to us that FEMA, or any other agency, for that matter, could bus school children to an undisclosed, so-called safe location without prior notice to parents, and then claim that the children were moved for safety reasons due to... [insert relevant government B.S. excuse].
Imagine going happily through your day, when say, around noon or early afternoon, your phone rings.
"Hello, Mrs. Parent. This is the school calling to inform you that FEMA has bused your children to a safe location due to an unexpected event on or near school property that would have placed the children in imminent danger. Due to the keen foresight and quick response of our federal government, and the full cooperation of our school staff, we can assure you that your children are safely relocated. Please contact us for directions to the location where you may travel to pick up your children. You will need to contact us to get a security code that you will present at the location. Your security code will identify you as the parent or legal guardian noted on school records as having authorization to pick up your children. Thank you for your prompt and complete cooperation. Your children are safe." Click.
What the school staff and government liaisons deliberately fail to mention is the fact that as soon as you arrive to retrieve your children, you are escorted into a waiting area within the FEMA camp. You endure hours of red tape and excuses as to why "processing" takes so long and how it is all for the security of your children and for your own good. The day drags into night. You grow tired, worried, angry.
A pair of burly, expressionless security guards wearing black tactical uniforms sporting a conspicuous lack of United States insignia address you in heavy foreign accents. They demand any Concealed-carry permits and any firearms, bladed weapons, and aerosol sprays you may be carrying or have in your vehicle. They tell you they are collecting all such items for "safe keeping" but they offer you no tags or other means of identifying and retrieving your items. They look at a printed list. You assume it is a copy of some type of registry. You suppose these guys already know whether or not you own a gun or have a permit to carry one.
You want to see your kids, so you comply, reluctantly. The guards jot down a note in the margin next to your name and place a colored sticker next to your name. You cannot see what they write. You can only guess that the red sticker indicates you are a potential problem to them.
You are offered a cot and food, water, shower facilities, and hygiene products to make your extended stay as comfortable as possible, all at no charge to you. A week goes by. You are permitted to rejoin your children. They are released from preliminary quarantine and psychological evaluation, or whatever other load of colon-fill the guys in charge can think up. None of you are allowed to go to your vehicles or walk outside the designated "guest" areas. For your safety, of course.
Weeks pass. On-site Common Core schools have enrolled your children.
Rumors circulate about adults and teens attempting to venture beyond the perimeter. Some of your fellow parents have been missing for days. A police dog tracks blood across a concrete floor. You realize you are in a concentration camp and no one intends to let you or your children out. Smoke from the incinerators is not just from burning trash. There is no cemetery on site.
You go for a stroll, contemplating the overall situation. You begin to notice things that, in the heat of your worry over the initial safety of your children, you had overlooked or shoved to the back of your mind.
But, now you have to mull it over. Adult re-education centers promise you the moon, and then threaten you with doom if you resist or manifest independent thought. You discover that the airtight assembly hall, the one that serves as a designated storm shelter, doubles as a gas chamber. You notice an aerial photo of the Denver International Airport hanging on a wall in one of the administration buildings. Someone had forgotten to close the blinds. The runway pattern in the photo stands out with unmistakable clarity. It is a Swastika.
And the roads running around and through a portion of the inner airport grounds trace out what looks like the face of an alien. Or is it the face of a demon, to be deliberately mistaken for an alien? You start thinking about Dulce, New Mexico, human hybridization, and so forth, but then you realize you digress from the task at hand.
You kneel beside a tree and pray. Normally you pray silently, but the sense of urgency and desperation drives you to petition God openly. The act of praying aloud in present surroundings brings to your mind the Bible story about Daniel in the lion den.
Your courage to pray overcomes your embarrassment about being tricked into coming here in the first place. But, what could you do? They have your kids.
You cringe as you realize the government saved millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of man-hours by simply busing your kids here directly from school, and then fooling you into traveling here at your own expense. You walked right into the trap.
You make escaping with your children your mission in life. You know if you get caught, praying or escaping, you will be executed. Your kids will be marked for re-indoctrination, or worse. You remember a scriptural story about two ancient American prophets, named Alma and Amulek, and that gives you hope for the plight of your children, in the eternal perspective.
You also know that if you are killed, you will die with a clear conscience because you did not vote for that evil monkey that occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC. Or is it 2700 Woods Fork Road, Highlandville, Missouri 65669?

The information age takes on a new dimension as we enter the age of the drones. No longer science fiction. The time has come that American troops face a daring decision that will test their loyalty like never before. As members of the armed forces, we took an oath to defend the Constitution, not the government, from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Since our so-called commander-in-chief and many of our congressmen have clearly become domestic enemies to the very same Constitution they themselves swore to uphold, what should we do? What do the people expect us to do?
We are the protectors of the people. I believe the people expect us to stand on the side of freedom and protect their constitutional rights. As I have said before, I am too weak to wield the sword at this time in my life, but the pen is mightier than the sword. I can wield the written word with ass-kicking resolve that knows no bounds.
And let us not forget the power of prayer and faith. That is what will save our Constitution more effectively than any other means. After all, the Constitution, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers, is inspired by God, so it can only be preserved by the power of God, and we can only expect God to preserve it if we turn to him with faith and sincere hearts.
If we legislate God out of our schools, our society, our government, and our personal lives, where does that leave us? When God, being the consummate Gentleman that He is, feels that He is no longer welcome in His own country, who do you think steps in to fill the place God once occupied?
Philippines official death toll reaches 942, may exceed 10,000 in coming days. Some fear the death toll in Toclaban City alone may reach 10,000.
Sustained winds were 195 mph, gusting to 235 mph.
Storm surges reached heights of 17 feet. Wave heights reached 15 feet. Some reports claim storm surges of 20 feet and waves 45 feet high. This is the planet's fiercest storm in recorded history.
When I was on active duty in the Air Force, I took leave and visited Cherokee Village, Arkansas. If memory serves me correctly, it was in 2005. I rented a car in Memphis and drove to Cherokee Village. Along the way, I noticed an enormous freeway construction project designated Interstate-555.
I had never seen or heard of the I-555 Freeway. Apparently, it is intended as an upgrade to Highway 63 between Turrell, Arkansas and Jonesboro, Arkansas. It is supposed to connect I-55 to Arkansas Highway 91. The route between Turrell and Jonesboro has been designated a high priority corridor. Why?
Most triple-digit freeways are built as bypasses around large, high density metropolitan areas. There is no such area between Turrell and Jonesboro. Do the elites want high priority access through that region for their own reasons?
Further piquing my curiosity was the fact that some locals boasted about the many scientists and multimillionaires that had moved into the area over the years, including some who had a key role in the development of fiber-optic internet connectivity. The area is rural, agricultural, and riddled with cave systems. It is not a region you hear much about in news or tourism.
Why the unusually high per-capita concentration of wealthy and accomplished scientists and innovators in rural America? Aren't there popular, trendy, high-profile metropolitan areas that would be more attractive to such affluent and influential personnel?
Well, I guess it makes sense. If you want a strategically advantageous location, complete with rich soil, abundant spring-water, natural subterranean networks of caves, lime bedrock, sparse population density, and the lowest cost of living in the country, then the Ozark region is one of the best places to set up operations for SHTF scenarios.
Here is something I did not know until recently. Look up the following address on Google maps: 2700 Woods Fork Road, Highlandville, Missouri 65669.
Look at the Satellite view. Zoom in and out. Get a feel for the region. Note the route from Memphis, TN to Turrell, AR, and then from Turrell to Jonesboro, AR, and then from Jonesboro to the address below. Does I-555, a high priority corridor, come into play? Note that I-555 does not appear under the name I-555 on the map. It is the section of Arkansas Highway 63 between Turrell and Jonesboro on the map.

Read this article, titled Which Cities Americans Are Moving to - and Escaping From, about internal migrations going on within the United States. Many people seem to be moving away from the Coastal States and into the Southern States and Mountain States. In contrast, liberal professionals often congregate in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Over the long term, internal migrations will drive sweeping changes in our nation, politically and economically, and perhaps in other ways we have not yet considered. Interestingly, the primary reason behind internal migrations lately has not been financial, but cultural. People are gathering toward places where they can find like minded people. And then there is the increased likelihood of catastrophic natural disasters and strategic vulnerabilities of Coastal States to hurricanes, tsunamis, and attacks by the likes of Iran, China, North Korea, Russia, and other unsavory cesspools of hatred towards America (cesspools other than our own federal government).

Dear Employees,
As CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact Barack Hussein Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10 percent.
But, since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off 60 of our employees instead.
This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who will have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lot and found 60 Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars.
I have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.
I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem.
They voted for change... so I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.
