Hey, Preppers and Patriots,

I hope you and yours are doing well and staying cool in this intense summer heat. My latest preparedness project was getting a soft starter installed on my central AC compressor. The soft starter allows me to run my central air conditioning on my solar inverter by reducing the initial surge of electricity during start up. Without that device, I’d be sweltering in the heat when we lose power. Which, in the mountains, is a regular occurrence. It took some calling around to find an AC service that even knew what I was talking about, but it was well worth the time invested.

   In other news, with very few exceptions, most of the Republican Party cowered and kowtowed to Donald Trump in passing the Big Beautiful Bill. Yes, the bill had its good points such as cutting USAID and other foreign aid as well as cutting funding for liberal propaganda outlets like NPR and PBS. I was also happy to see the Trump tax cuts from his first term made permanent.

   However, the spending cuts do not make up for the massive increase in defense spending. The DoD got an extra $150 billion added to their budget for this year and is slated to get an additional $150 billion again next year, bringing their total budget to an even one trillion dollars.

   Yes, I understand there are bad actors in the world and we need a strong defense. But Russia’s total defense budget is $150 billion and China’s is $250 billion. If you combine the defense budgets of all of our potential adversaries, they don’t add up to a trillion dollars. And what’s worse, much of this bloated DoD budget ends up going to companies like Palantir, which has just received a new contract under DNI Gabbard and Donald Trump to aggregate data on American citizens expanding the domestic surveillance state. I thought MAGA was supposed to be about freedom.

   And a quick note for those of you who saw my YouTube interview on the Ryan Files about JD Vance’s connection to Palantir’s founder, Peter Thiel; Palantir’s stock has nearly tripled since the election last November, increasing their market cap from $130 billion to over $360 billion. That $15 million dollar investment in JD’s Ohio senate run is paying off handsomely. 

   The US Congressman from Kentucky, Thomas Massey, opposed the enormous spending increases and additional $5 trillion added to the debt ceiling. He is also pushing a petition to have the Epstein files released. And the reward for his patriotism has come in the form of Donald Trump’s pledge to primary him in the upcoming elections. This is a tactic where the president uses his influence and support from his donors to back anyone running against Thomas Massey or other Republicans who oppose Trump, effectively working to purge any true patriots remaining on Capitol Hill.

   And who knows what happened to Trump, Patel, Bongino, and Bondi causing them to flip their stance on the Epstein files. I fear the worst may have happened. The only explanation that makes sense is that intelligence operatives threatened their lives or their families. If this is the case, then our republic is truly lost.

   Of course, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that  back in May, Bondi informed Trump that his name was in the files. Maybe that’s why he called us “stupid Republicans” for believing in the Epstein “hoax.” Back in November, we were sold a bill of goods promising fiscal conservatism, transparency, and freedom. That’s not at all what we’re getting.

But now for some good news. My new book, Kingdom Come, Book Two: Rider on a Pale Horse is now available!

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Revelation 6:8

The final days of Earth have arrived, and the seals are broken. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are unleashed, bringing devastation, famine, and death to the planet. As society crumbles under the weight of chaos, survival becomes a brutal game.

Silas Ford has managed to avoid the worst of the violence during the Second American Civil War, but the nightmare is far from over. When the world turns to dust, the strong prey on the weak, and every man must decide how far he’s willing to go to live another day. Silas opens his compound to several newcomers. The additional members bring much-needed manpower to help with security and chores, but they each come with their own baggage that jeopardizes the group dynamic.

The art of survival is no simple task. When Silas agrees to watch over a local farmer’s cattle, a ruthless trickster steals the herd. Now, Silas must venture into the heart of a lawless, virus-ravaged world to recover what’s been taken. With death lurking around every corner and the deadly virus spreading like wildfire, this mission could cost him everything.
