Why Has Prepping Become So Popular With The Left?

Reader H.L. sent us the link to this article over at Citizen Watch Report: Why Has Prepping Become So Popular With The Left? JWR’s Comments:  The two key (and quite overt) messages from the filmmakers to the viewers of the movie Leave The World Behind are: 1.)  Don’t trust white people, and 2.) You don’t need to prepare for WTSHTF if you just break into the unoccupied home of someone who did prepare. This underscores my long-standing admonition: Never buy a retreat in a resort town!

Texas Lawmen Can Now Arrest Illegal Migrants

Over at the Trending Politics site: Texas Signs Law Allowing The Arrest Of Illegal Border Migrants.  The article begins:

“Texas Governor Greg Abbott has enacted legislation permitting state law enforcement officials to detain individuals suspected of unauthorized entry across the U.S.-Mexico border.

Under Senate Bill 4, individuals who enter or attempt to enter Texas from a foreign nation at any location other than a lawful port of entry, and who are classified as aliens as per federal law, would be committing a Class B misdemeanor.

This offense can lead to up to 180 days in jail and/or a maximum fine of $2,000. The bill elevates this to a state-jail felony, punishable by 180 days to two years in a state jail and an optional fine of up to $10,000, if the individual has been previously convicted of illegal entry from a foreign nation.”
