@BloomsGreensIE We turned our backyard into a self sustainable garden a number of years ago. We could see the writing on the wall. I ditched the idea of a good lawn for productive land and the results have been memorable. Have not been to a supermarket in years.

Integrity and Leadership
During the Delta Force stress phase of the selection process, our rucksack required weight increased from 45 to 50 pounds and finally to 55 pounds. We ran solo through unforgiving terrain with our rucksack, a weapon, a map, and a compass. We were not allowed to use roads or trails. A few people would attempt to cheat the system and take a road or trail, thinking that they would get by with it. They did not know that cadres were watching.
They were allowed to finish the course, but at the Commanders Board, they would be asked if they had used a road or trail. If they lied, they were immediately removed from the selection process. It was much better to own up to cheating the system than lying about it.
Our moral compass is as important as our real compass. Before anything we attempt in life, it always turns out better to keep our moral compass, in other words, our integrity, as close to the vest as our directional one.
Integrity, our personal character, is one of the foundational cornerstones of leadership.

@Breaking57 You do realize that license plates are clearly visible in public right?

@PoliceThePolic1 If a citizen did this, wore a vest, pointed a gun at people...a swat team would have been mobilized, but since it's a cop....

@RetroCoast Yes. All that matters is who can get the first volley off first. If I can hit you 5 times center of mass with a .22 in 3 seconds, I care not what gun you have because you will be in a world of hurt. Check out different videos with Bob Keller from Delta Force

@DisrespectedThe If you have time at home, look up victory gardens from the WW2 era and make one. We did several years ago and often trade what comes out of our garden with others, 95% of what we eat comes from our backyard or others. Have not been to a supermarket in years. Great feeling.

@CJGRISHAM Bartering was/is a way of life for a good amount of people. Most "retired" lawyers I know just barter on cases they want. I barter from my garden with farmers for cuts of meats and have not been to a supermarket in years.

@WhiteHouse Didn't the president just threaten to wipe out a whole civilization? Political violence starts at the top, and the American people are tired of our out of control government.

@WhiteHouse Who else would actively infringe on our God given rights if it wasn't our own government?

@FenixAmmunition Looks like 9. If you got a scoop, I'll take a scoop. If you ain't got a scoop to spare, no worries.

@RepNancyMace Yet you side with Israel? The Citadel should erase you from their history for being an empty shell for a foreign government.

@SenFettermanPA You must not be a student of history... specifically the advice of our Founding Fathers and their principles that made this nation great when it comes to alliances. You Sir, are on the wrong side of history. You are a traitor that was bought by a Foreign Government.

In the face of consistent attacks, past and present, our special ally and its people have shown true strength and resilience.
Israel: I’m proud to stand on the right side of history, and this voice and vote will never waver.
Happy Independence Day!
