Gardeners are the only people who willingly go outside to get dirty, sweaty, bitten, and sunburned… and call it “relaxing.”

The Year the Army Wasn’t Paid: American Thinker …“A compromise between the political parties in the angrily disputed presidential election of 1876 placed Republican Rutherford B. Hayes in office and ended the last vestiges of Reconstruction in the South.  In short order, the already depleted U.S. Army units attempting to counter an ascendant Ku Klux Klan were transferred to duties elsewhere as the Service braced itself for a round of personnel cuts now that the mission in the South was at an end.  What happened next caught even some of the most pessimistic soldiers by surprise. The winding down of Reconstruction had seen corresponding reductions in the Army to roughly 39,000 men in 1869, 30,000 the following year, and 25,000 in 1874.  In 1877, the House of Representatives, now under the control of Southern Democrats little more than a decade after the Civil War, moved to cut the Army — “the unholy instrument of repression” during Reconstruction — to 17,000, then 15,000, lest the federal government be tempted to use it again domestically. Proposed amendments and legislative maneuvering also resulted in the 54th Congress adjourning in March, before they had passed an appropriations bill for the coming fiscal year.  For the sake of political expediency, the president did not call Congress back into session to rectify the matter.  Thus, as of June 30, 1877, neither officers nor enlisted men, be they soldier, sailor, or marine, was able to draw even a dime of pay.  The delegation from Texas, however, broke ranks with the Southern Democrats and made it clear that they wanted even more troops because of the ongoing problems with the Apaches along the Mexican border and continued raiding by the Cheyenne.”

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!

The Deep State Doesn’t Want You to Know This: ask a prepper …“It all started with a routine trip to the grocery store. When I went to pay for a few bags of rice, the card reader froze and a message flashed across the screen: “Transaction flagged for review.” No big deal, right? Happens all the time. Except it wasn’t the card. The clerk whispered that “some system update” was slowing down payments all day. My phone buzzed an hour later: “Suspicious activity detected. Please verify your location.” I bought rice. That’s it. And yet, someone or something somewhere knew I wasn’t just buying rice. I was buying rice to build a stockpile. That’s when it hit me: this is how control looks like in the 21st century – silent systems, quietly watching, quietly restricting, quietly reminding you that everything you own, everything you buy, everything you say – they know about it. And they’ve got you profiled. And that’s exactly how the Deep State wants it.” …the true meaning of control, the dollar is dying – by design, they’re watching everything, the real reason preppers are mocked, what you can still do, while you still can (Start small. Start real. Start local.),
