So called “conservatives” supporting “red flag” laws…

It amazes me how many “conservatives” think that “red flag” laws are beneficial, believing they will save lives if and when they are instituted. They will argue that if someone is threatening acts of violence, we need “red flag” laws to address it.

Firstly, it is already a crime to make threats of violence; you can be arrested, disarmed, and sent to prison for many years for such behavior. It’s called Terroristic threatening…

Secondly, people fail to understand that “red flag” laws are not about stopping individuals who make threats. Instead, red flag laws revolve around situations where someone thinks — and subsequently reports — that another person might commit a violent act, even though they haven’t made threats or committed a crime.

In such situations, the police or a SWAT team is dispatched to seize your firearms, even if you haven’t done anything; it’s solely based on someone’s claim that they believe you might act out violently. Consequently, you have to appear in court and prove you are not planning any violent actions before you can reclaim your guns.

Yet, if there is someone genuinely planning to do something violent, they will likely have little trouble obtaining another weapon or multiple weapons and continuing their plans. It’s utter nonsense.

A Masterpiece of Functionality and Durability: The Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Star rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Okay, let’s get into it. The Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron Deep Camp Dutch Oven is honestly a game-changer for anyone who loves cooking outdoors. With over a century in the cookware game, Lodge clearly knows their stuff, and this Dutch oven is proof.

Right off the bat, you’ve got to love the solid construction. It’s made from high-quality cast iron that spreads heat evenly, meaning no more hotspots causing your food to cook unevenly. Plus, it holds heat really well, so your food stays warm long after you’ve finished cooking. The real cherry on top is that you can use it on virtually any heat source, from an open fire at your campsite to the stove in your kitchen – it’s as versatile as they come.

One of the best things about this Dutch oven is that it comes pre-seasoned. If you’ve ever had to season a cast iron pan yourself, you’ll appreciate this. Lodge uses a natural vegetable oil to season the oven, which gives it a pretty decent non-stick quality right from the get-go. The best part is that the non-stick feature only gets better the more you use it, and it really adds to the flavor of your food.

Now, let’s talk size. With a 12-inch diameter and an 8-quart capacity, this bad boy is ready to handle some big meals. Whether you’re feeding a horde of hungry campers or cooking up a storm for a backyard party, this Dutch oven has got you covered. From hearty stews to mouthwatering roasts, there’s not much it can’t handle.

One of my favorite things about this Dutch oven is the lid. Not only is it a deep design, but it also doubles as a griddle. This is an absolute godsend when you’re out camping and trying to minimize the amount of gear you’re hauling around. You can whip up a delicious one-pot meal in the Dutch oven and then flip the lid to grill some veggies or pancakes. Plus, the lid’s got these cool little spikes on the inside for self-basting, which keeps your food super juicy and packed with flavor.

Of course, as with any cast iron cookware, you do have to give it a bit of TLC. Try to avoid using soap when you clean it, and always dry it thoroughly to keep rust at bay. You’ll also want to re-season it occasionally to keep that non-stick surface in top shape.

There are a couple of downsides, though. The first is the weight – this thing is hefty. It’s not a big deal if you’re car camping or using it at home, but it might be a bit much if you’re heading out on a long hike. The other is that if you’re new to cooking with cast iron, there’s a bit of a learning curve, especially when it comes to controlling the heat on an open fire.

All in all, the Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron Deep Camp Dutch Oven – 12 Inch / 8 Quart is a serious winner. Sure, it’s a bit heavy, and there’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be cooking up meals to remember. And honestly, with proper care, this Dutch oven could last a lifetime. So, it’s not just a purchase, it’s an investment in some seriously good eating.

Pulling Through: A Chronicle of my Back Molar Extraction

The day of the extraction…

You might have already seen this in my community section on YouTube, but in case you haven’t, I wanted to provide you with a quick update.

This past Thursday, I underwent an extraction of a back molar. Yes, I know, it’s not pleasant, but it was necessary due to a large cavity that had previously been filled thirteen months ago, but had unfortunately fallen out.

Instead of opting for another filling and risking the likelihood of the same thing happening in just a few months, I decided to have it extracted. And so, I did!

The experience was rather painful, reminiscent of Barack Obama’s first meeting with Michael LaVaughn Robinson under the rainbow flag.

As I walked into the dentist’s office, I had hoped the tooth would be removed with a single, clean pull. However, to my dismay, that wasn’t the case. As the dentist (who happened to be a woman) began the procedure, I felt the tooth break – an instant of dread washed over me.

When she asked if I was okay, I couldn’t respond verbally as she was still operating on the tooth, so I just gave her a thumbs-up. What complicated matters was that according to the X-ray, the root of the tooth had grown into my sinus cavity.

The dentist continued her work, alternating from my right side to my left. Suddenly, a part of the tooth popped out and fell onto the floor.

Again, she asked if I was okay. I responded with another thumbs-up, and she continued until she finally managed to remove the tooth completely.

In the aftermath of the extraction, I bled for around five to six hours. This was followed by several days of intense pain, the worst I’ve experienced from a tooth extraction. It remains excruciatingly sore and swollen, but I think it’s beginning to heal and the pain is starting to subside, if only slightly.

My plan is to resume uploading on YouTube by Tuesday or Wednesday. There’s so much happening that I’m eager to discuss, but talking is still a painful endeavor.

How Leftist Ideologies Seek to Collapse the American System and Implement Total Government Control

Written by Jim Scott for MDCreekmore.com

The Cloward-Piven stratagem, a covert and treacherous political ploy conceived in the 1960s, has arisen as a paramount apprehension in the United States. With the escalating U.S. southern border predicament, this stratagem poses a critical menace to the nation’s equilibrium. Through a conservative lens, this scheme aspires to hurl the United States into pandemonium, ultimately disintegrating the existing system and metamorphosing the nation into a dystopian society. In the end, its advocates seek unmitigated governmental authority over the populace.

Deciphering the Cloward-Piven Stratagem

Devised by American sociologists and political agitators Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven in their 1966 treatise, “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty,” this stratagem demanded inundating the U.S. welfare system by inciting maximal enrollment in public support programs. By swamping the system, Cloward and Piven contended that the government would be compelled to execute radical overhauls, culminating in the institution of a guaranteed annual revenue and the extirpation of indigence.

This stratagem gained momentum among radical-left activists and has been adapted in myriad forms throughout the years. Although initially targeting welfare reform, it has metamorphosed into a comprehensive tactic to subvert and crumble the prevailing system.

The Unfettered U.S. Southern Frontier Crisis and the Cloward-Piven Stratagem

The continuous predicament at the U.S. southern frontier, witnessing a surge in unlawful migration and illicit trafficking of narcotics and armaments, provides fertile soil for the Cloward-Piven stratagem’s implementation. The incessant influx of undocumented immigrants applies immense strain on the U.S. welfare and social services infrastructure, consequently depleting resources and exacerbating societal tensions.

Cloward-Piven advocates capitalize on the scenario, championing porous frontiers and enticing more individuals to infiltrate the United States illegally. By advocating for the disintegration of immigration enforcement, they aspire to engender chaos and instability, ultimately dismantling the U.S. system and laying the foundation for radical reforms that grant the government augmented control over the populace.

Perils of the Cloward-Piven Stratagem

The Cloward-Piven stratagem harbors several grave hazards for the United States:

Economic Implosion: Overburdening the welfare system and other social services can precipitate economic implosion. The unsustainable fiscal responsibility of sustaining a burgeoning number of welfare recipients can lead to augmented taxes, inflation, and a slump in aggregate economic expansion.

Social Turmoil: As resources dwindle and tensions escalate, social turmoil may arise. The schisms engendered by the Cloward-Piven stratagem can trigger a spike in criminality, hostility, and civil agitation.

Sovereignty Erosion: By endorsing porous borders and the dissolution of immigration enforcement, Cloward-Piven proponents undermine the nation’s sovereignty. This flagrant disregard for the rule of law could ultimately render the U.S. a collapsed state, with its government incapable of maintaining dominion and safeguarding its citizenry.

Governmental Supremacy Augmentation: The ultimate objective of the Cloward-Piven stratagem is to amplify governmental dominance over the populace. By collapsing the system, its advocates endeavor to establish a new order wherein the government wields unmitigated power, stifling individual autonomy and liberties.

Epilogue

The Cloward-Piven stratagem is a perilous and insidious scheme that jeopardizes the very essence of American society. By exploiting the unfettered U.S. southern border crisis, its proponents endeavor to destabilize the nation, dismantle the prevailing system, and impose absolute government control. As conservatives, we must safeguard our nation’s principles, liberty, and affluence.

To counteract the Cloward-Piven stratagem and its detrimental ramifications on the United States, we must undertake the following measures:

Fortify Border Security: By enforcing stringent border control protocols and investing in cutting-edge technologies, we can substantially curtail unlawful migration and preserve our nation’s sovereignty. This will also alleviate the burden on our social services and welfare systems.

Revamp the Welfare System: We must advocate for judicious welfare reform that fosters self-reliance and industriousness. This encompasses implementing work prerequisites, time constraints, and support services that facilitate individuals’ transition from public assistance to self-sustenance.

Champion Legal Immigration: Concentrating on legal immigration and executing merit-based policies enables the United States to welcome adept and gifted immigrants who positively contribute to our society and economy. This approach also mitigates the strain on public resources.

Cultivate National Cohesion: We must repudiate the divisive maneuvers employed by Cloward-Piven proponents and endeavor to cultivate a sense of national cohesion. By endorsing shared values, reverence for the rule of law, and appreciation for our nation’s cultural heterogeneity, we can counter the chaos and instability they strive to generate.

Enlighten the Public: Elevating awareness of the Cloward-Piven stratagem and its perils is vital to counter its sway. We must inform the public about the risks associated with this scheme and encourage open discourse and debate on the subject.

By addressing these concerns, we can effectively neutralize the Cloward-Piven stratagem and safeguard our nation’s future. As conservatives, we must remain watchful and resolute in our commitment to preserving the tenets of limited government, individual liberty, and free-market capitalism that have rendered the United States a bastion of prosperity and freedom across the globe.
