1. If jean styles continue as they are now, I think we may see a definite increase in people learning how to mend jeans. I mend jeans for the public (on a treadle sewing machine, no less) by darning or inserting modesty panels to fill holes. The designer jeans with the little worn-looking stringy holes in them when bought new may look cute initially, but after a few washings, those cute little holes become greatly enlarged and begin showing a lot more of the owner than some want to show.

2. The potential for war with NK has increased the ratings for the President, well of course. It is the same ‘fake news’ that presents these polls and it is likely that they publish the ratings they want us to see whether they are true or not.

3. Hug a terrorist then go boom together.

   They have terrorists that are living in Denmark, who fly to Syria to join ISIS then return to the good life in Denmark. They know they are enemy combatants and just want to wish the threat away with hugs. I have said many times that liberalism is a mental disorder and it seems to be getting worse.

4. Concerning the war on cash. No doubt restricting Combined Federal Campaign donations to cash provides the government with a ready list of your donations. Additionally, the management/chain of command pressure to have everyone donate something still exists. That said, it’s always been worth the dollar a month minimum donation to a benign but well managed charity to both get them off you back, and more importantly, stay under the radar and practice good OPSEC by ensuring any political donations are cash. BTW, there are still bake sales, just not for CFC.

5. North Korea is being used as the new boogeyman to scare the dimwitted and only exists as a threat because we threaten them. One miscalculation has Seoul a smoking crater and 1.25 million NKA rolling south with nothing to stop them(does anyone think China and Russia would allow us to use nukes on their borders without retaliation). We would of watched a East German style collapse and reunification of the peninsula in 2003-2004 if Pres Shrub hadn’t done the stupid Axis of Evil speech.

6. I think much of the talk about NK, Russia, et. al. are mostly to keep the sheeple from realizing that we are due for a major financial crisis which will send this country into an armageddon-type collapse.

7. A relative and Mate of mine lives in the Northern Territory in Australia. Firearms are allowed there, but they are very restrictive. They also change from State to State there. Basically, no civilian may own a pistol of any type. All rifles and shotguns are either bolt or lever action. There are also restrictions on how many rounds they can hold. Import, selling to another person, storage, and more, are all strictly controlled. There are more guns up North than most realize, and the black market is alive and well.

8. In Reply to the state of Australian firearms laws, the public are allowed to own pistols but you do have to be a member of a certified pistol club, i personally own handguns the only restrictions are on magazine capacity, barrel length and some minor restrictions around caliber generally up to .38 is standard over that caliber is slightly more restricted but they can be owned, as for long arms the major restriction is around the semi autos, these are difficult to get unless you are a pest controller etc, i don’t think the law changes has made any difference, our largest mass murder was committed recently using a knife? a woman killed her 8 kids, there is a large number of illegal firearms used to commit gang related murder every weekend. almost no law abiding firearms are used in crime in Australia, a fact the anti gunners are quick to ignore…

9. Immigration
   Denmark’s second largest city believes they have a novel approach to terrorism. They have decided to meet violence with empathy and have embarked on a program dubbed “hug a terrorist”. While Danes who have fought terrorists in Syria are threatened with jail upon their return, terrorists are being offered apartments, education, and jobs to encourage them to rejoin society. I’m now wondering if Danish politicians received their training from watching reruns of “Sesame Street”.

   I am deliberately making abstraction of this ridiculous propaganda phrase of “hug a terrorist. These people do not understand what is happening to their country and to themselves. The political elite and the wealthy, mistakenly thinks it is immune from everything so they don’t care about their population from which they feel no connection. Hug a terrorist? Ask that question to women in Sweden, now the rape capital of the world. (Ref. Sweden’s anti-immigration party now in first place. Why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCGedOGCrnQ

   THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT SWEDEN REFUGEES, RAPE CRISIS & ISLAMIC IMMIGRATION PROBLEM!

   Are the Danes insane? Is their government insane? No. The government of these European countries in Scandinavia which includes Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Finland, has been bought. It is the same situation in Germany. What about France which has the highest number of migrants? Europe’s borders are a huge sifters from which migrants go through. Migrants enter Europe without papers, and passport. Then they have a sense of entitlement to everything. In reality, nobody owes the migrants anything. The big problem in Europe is these governments policy towards migrants and the huge number of them lending on the European continent.
   Migrants are dissatisfied because Europe cannot include them. There are too many of them. There is no infrastructure that can possibly deal with the situation. This is only one aspect of the problem. Economically European countries cannot even provide for the needs of their own native population and they bring in migrants who are totally dependant on the government. If this keeps on going, the infrastructures will explode.
   The governments of these countries have demonstrated that they are hostile to the interests of their country and country men.

   When you watch these videos, the idea of Mr. Trump of building a wall might not be so fetched after all.

   This is only a drop in the ocean. There is a lot more to say about this migrant topic of course.

   1. GM, I hear you. And just wait until Venezuela really blows up. Guess who will be coming for dinner.

10. re mending clothing. While anyone can figure out one way or another to stitch a functional patch onto jeans, mending a hole in the heel of socks is a different story. I found a youtube video that made the use of my inherited darning egg understandable. A light bulb would work (with caution of course).

    1. Yes. Have done it many times. Take a worn out pair of jeans and cut next to the seams to liberate the back of the pant legs from which to make patches (back doesnt wear much). To patch the knees, turn the pants inside out and with a seam ripper, rip open the instead seam from several inches below crotch to several inches above bottom hem. Now you can iron the pant leg about the knee flat and sew a patch over the knees. Hint, take the patch well up the thigh if possible. Sew the inside seam back up. Done.
