Bloom Where You’re Planted: Prepping to Survive Where You Are RIGHT NOW
Have you ever heard anyone utter some variation of one of these comments? “I’m going to start prepping as soon as I can move.” “I can’t prepare because I live in a tiny apartment.” “Well, once we are able to get moved to our farm in two years I’ll start prepping hardcore.” “I’m saving the money for moving instead of using it for preps.” “There’s no point in prepping here because if the SHTF I’ll be dead.” Maybe you didn’t overhear someone else saying it.

Biden: “President Trump and I agree” on COVID Booster Shots – FEMA and Troops Deployed to Increase Vaccination Rates
President Biden spoke from the White House today to try and convince all Americans to "get vaccinated" to protect themselves from the dreaded "Omicron COVID-19 virus."
