Amateur Radio and Prepping. Question

Just a quick non scientific poll. How many are using Ham Radio or GMRS or both as part of your preps?

2nd question. Are you using the ham radio to develop at least a comms mutual aid network. Are you the GMARs in-hose for your core group comms?

Seizure of Ballots on Election Night.

Nightmare Scenario- Watching Hawks Podcast and he mentioned a recent episode of MS-Now are wargaming the worst case scenario of election interference on the November 3rd 2026 Midterms. Here it is. Trump could direct ICE or the National Guard to seize ballots in close contested House & Senate races before the actually counted. Think Texas in the Talarico vs. Paxton or Georgia where it’s Osoff vs. Mike Collins. Ohio. Maine, Alaska are all in play in the Senate. The courts won’t be able to respond in time to stop it. Trump’s DOJ AG will just ignore it. What would poll workers be able to do when heavily armed Federal authorities show up with some bullshit order from Trump or his AG Turd Blanche. Besides the USPS siphoning of batches of ballots that don’t match some thrown together Homeland Security data base. If some form of BALLOT SEIZURE occurs we are all totally fucked. What’s left of our US government as we knew it is officially over! Another scenario Johnson ( Official Bunghole Licker) will refuse to seat “disputed” newly elected house reps in Jan 2027. I find this very plausible given Trump’s statement in Dallas “Cheat like hell.” Check your sources for more info. WE NEED A CONTINGENCY PLAN! 👊🇺🇸

Hawks Podcast

I would encourage everyone to check out Hawks podcast on YouTube. He just released an episode entitled they are playing not to lose as usual. It’s in reference to a poor point agenda that Hakeem Jeffries just put out if the Dems were to retake the house in the 2026 elections.

Jeffrey lays out of four point agenda, which is so pathetic and weak that I am outraged. That was the whole point of Hawks broadcast. I don’t want to spoil it or take credit for his work. I can’t emphasize enough that if you were not satisfied with the status quo, then you need to watch it. It’s shit like this that makes me just wanna throw out my hands with the dams and just say burn it down. Jefferies is bought and paid for Schumer’s bought and paid for if we’d retake the house we need new leadership.
I say again WE NEW LEADERSHIP! How the fuck did Jefferies become the minority leader? I think Schumer just got handed the title cause he’s been around forever. Provided the overcome Trump‘s election rigging efforts. We have a perfect opportunity to re-establish trust in our institutions and make our government actually work for us. I believe this is our last chance if we fuck it up with milk toast solutions then it’s over and we’ll deserve the anarchy we get once again Hawks podcast entitled “The Democratic Agenda-They Are Playing Not to Lose as Usual” Hawk’s video needs to go viral!

Voting Day.

I think we can all agree that the 2026 midterms are going to have a significant impact on the remainder of Trump‘s presidency. My concern in this post is all the obstructions Trump is putting into place to disenfranchise, delay, or just otherwise hope Democrats independents choose not vote. Over the last 25 years voting has been made relatively convenient by absentee ballots (vote by mail), Officials ballot box drop offs, drop off at an election or polling place location, and early in person voting. I am going to try an early focus on the role United States Post Office)USPO will play in the midterm elections. They are currently under executive order to reject any ballots that do not match federal provided auto identification rules. In the last count, I know we have at least 26 states that have not provided the federal government with their State voter rolls. So post office the post office is going to be a postal official making determination whether or not to process your mailing ballot since the authority for Trump to utilize the USPS and such a passion only came down recently. There is very little time to understand, and frame and implement a new process vote in mail rules. Consequently, there may be significant number of ballots not actually counted. This situation is still very much in flux. The Supreme Court is upheld mail and voting, but they have not gotten behind where the sausage is made in the USPS.. moral where I believes that a disproportionate number of these election monitors will go states which may turn blue for the first time in a long time like Texas, Maine, and ensuring Georgia stays blue. I think there will be a lot of heat from the feds on Michigan as well. I apologize for rambling, but I want to conclude with what my original premise was because the USPS may not be as reliable as the nearest past for ensuring balances are counted. I would recommend voting in person and all possible. I know it can be a hardship. I know it sucks after a long hard day at work. I know it sucks and so many different ways but we need to show up there in hard numbers so anyway they try to siphon off mail and votes is minimized in the media can record the turnout. We have to activate. Republicans are fighting dirty using a different bag of dirty tricks the same way they did with January 6, 2021. I employ you, I played with you, I even beg you show up and vote in person if you can. If it’s physically impossible, use the mail and balance system. But in this year, just don’t do it as a convenience do it as a necessity.

Are tactical Nukes in Iran Off the Table?

Another that keeps me up at night is whether we are going to get an Emergency Broadcast Signal on TV or our video feed. The message that follows will be a very short summary from POTUS that the US Military used two tactical nuclear devices in Iran with the intent to obliterate their weapons, munitions, rocket launchers, and air defense systems . US used “battlefield tactical nuclear devices, each less than one Kiloton. Pentagon intelligence states the latest intelligence shows much of an Iran’s defensive and offensive armaments were destroyed. Trump‘s behavior is erratic, impulsive, and very unpredictable. He is clearly aggressive and appearing physically debilitated. His cognitive decline is only denied by those who wish, for whatever reason choose to live in denial. Trump’s tweets(truths) have made thinly veiled threats which would lead reasonable people to believe Nukes are in play. Why wouldn’t Trump be? The guy pushed the button? He’s is a malignant narcissist who is vengeance and vile. Trump is eighty years old and he knows he hasn’t got long to live. He suffers from a lot of chronic health problems which cause him to suffer. So one point he just loses it and says I’m going to be the second American president to use nuclear weapons. Dan don’t even think he loves his children Pandora’s Box is opened. He has so little love for anyone that he doesn’t even own a dog. So back to my original premise.” are nukes on the table and Iran?” Trump won’t lose without taking us with them.

Pacific Theater More Vulnerable.

I’m not sure how much the mainstream media is covering the fact that are pacific theaters now more vulnerable. USS George Washington, which was our only aircraft carrier in the Pacific since arrived on station in the Middle East to release the USS Abraham Lincoln. So China wants to make move on Taiwan, now would be the time we are weakened because of our under supply munitions in several theaters.

Donald Trump‘s fitness to be president

The fact that legacy media is not covering President Trump‘s mental and physical deterioration on a daily basis is incredulous. President Trump has exhibited erratic and bizarre behavior. He is completely unfit physically, and mentally to do the most demanding job in the country. It is a complete national security risk, and I don’t understand how the general population can tolerate this risk and not be terrified. There are no longer guard rails to contain is destructive impulses, impose, a clear and present danger
