We also make a few announcements today that include our awesome new survival forum theme designed by SisterWolf who is also one of the forces behind the TSP Gear Shop.

  • Why some form of this bill is going to be passed even though most Americans don’t want it
  • The sob story we are going to hear from Blue Dogs and RINOs about the eventual compromise
  • The one hope we really still have to prevent national health care, it isn’t in the House and Senate
  • What is a swale, how does it work, why do you want them
  • How do you create swales in flat desert land
  • Is TSP now “all about the money”
  • Why growing your own food is a path to freedom
