Our hearts go out to those folks that have literally lost everything (and I suggest that if you wish to make a donation to help out, go to Samaritan’s Purse) but after watching the disaster that has hit the Gulf areas of Texas for days now, one has to wonder: what DO you do to prepare for that?  Especially if you are one of the tens of thousands (millions?) that had to leave?  Well, if you can’t “hunker down / shelter in place”, it IS time to get out of Dodge.

Like the image says above “Get a Kit, Make a Plan“.  A lot of people look down on “preppers” as being kooks, freaks, extremists, and “just out there” and the National Geographic series “Doomsday Prepper” did their part to reinforce that outlook just like the liberal MSM did to the TEA Party.  However, in our harried scheduled, just-in-time purchasing lifestyle, what DO you do when all of a sudden when normal life breaks down – completely?  As the residents of a lot of the impacted areas found out, in some cases, there is no 911 to call and you quickly realize that YOU are your own first responder (irrespective of those that have chosen to outsource their basic self-responsibility to Govt, like J@Womenspeakup).  What are you gonna due?

Reformatted, emphasis mine:

Americans on average spent more on taxes in 2016 than they did on food and clothing combined, according to data released this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In 2016, according to BLS, “consumer units” (which include families, financially independent individuals, and people living in a single household who share expenses) spent more on average on federal, state and local taxes ($10,489) than they did on food ($7,203) and clothing ($1,803) combined ($9,006).

To understand how progressives think you must watch them in their natural habitat. Liberals like to cluster together in protected communities or areas so they can more easily maintain a herd mentality. Regular people are kept out of the communities by ethnic cleansing style zoning, exorbitant cost of living expenses, and careful screening of potential members of elite businesses colleges and churches reserved for liberals.

Thought is reduced to feelings. Discussion is limited to chants.

Hey, hey, here we go.

On August 31st GraniteGrok posted a report about a banana peel with the power to put the full meaning in the word retreat. An Ole Miss Greek Life event came to a screeching (weeping, horribly terrifying) halt (followed by a full retreat) when a banana peel was found in a tree.

In a letter to the editor, Makala McNeil and her sorority sister share the details of this life-changing event and (of course) how it made them feel.

Chicago Trib Reporter Rex Huppke has some fun at the expense of the stereotypical Whole Foods Cultist. The beef? Amazon is lowering prices.

Good grief. Now eating ground beef that has been animal-welfare-rated won’t seem so special. And the days of silently mocking people who eat irresponsibly-farmed salmon are over, all thanks to a corporate giant that sells virtually everything on Earth EXCEPT status.

SHOT: Perfect. Hungary Sends The EU A Bill For Their Border Fence

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been something of a thorn in the side of the EU for quite a while now when it comes to the refugee crisis and questions over terrorism and illegal immigration. While most of the rest of the union has been bending over backwards to keep pace with Angela Merkel’s plans for unlimited immigration and open borders, Hungary has taken a hard line in keeping the illegal migrants out. This has led the EU to recently consider imposing penalties on Hungary for their failure to get with the program.

Orban came up with an even better response of his own. He just sent the European Union a bill for $476 million to cover half the cost of the razor wire fence he put up to keep the flow of immigrants out.

Hungary wants the European Union to pay half the bill for the razor-wired fence it erected in 2015 to keep migrants out, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s administration announced Thursday. The fence has virtually erased illegal immigration into Hungary less than two years after it was considered the primary route for migrants attempting to enter the EU. Janos Lazar, Orban’s chief of staff, claims the 400 million euro ($476 million) figure is justified since the fence is “protecting all the citizens of Europe from the flood of illegal migrants.”
