As is normal when you come from a small town, you can’t wait to leave. Take my word for it, my town was small and people went to bed after dark. I used to go down to the bus station and watch friends and relatives taking that 8:15 to New York. Finally, my turn came.

We think a lookback to our podcast from Sept. 2022 is applicable to today's events.
In a paper done by the National Information Forum, The “great replacement” theory, in simple terms, states that welcoming immigration policies — particularly those impacting nonwhite immigrants — are part of a plot designed to undermine or “replace” the political power and culture of white people living in Western countries.
America is struggling with its reasoning and responses to population replacement, or the “great replacement” theory. Like so many demographic issues, the composition of America’s population has become highly politicized, partisan and divisive.
Promoted by racist, antisemitic, xenophobic and white supremacist groups and spread by some media outlets, the great replacement is a conspiracy theory about changes in the composition of America’s population. The great replacement theory centers on the belief that nonwhite, non-Christian people are being brought to America for the purpose of replacing the white Christian majority population in order to establish a new political and socio-cultural agenda.
It has moved from the fringe of racist political movements to become prominent in American politics. A recent poll found that 61 percent of Americans who voted for former President Trump agree with the idea behind the great replacement theory

Important!
Emergency Preparedness.
Being prepared for an emergency is something that we don't often think about until we are in one. Then we wish we had taken steps earlier. Hopefully this podcast will prompt our listeners to take under advisement what Captain Willis says and implement what is applicable to their situation.
