Emergency Preparedness with Captain Jevan Willis (Ret) US Army
With everything going on in this world, look at Israel, Trump, white supremacist , etc. we thought it prudent to do a re-release of our interview with Capt. Jevan Willis, Ret. US Army
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.

What action should we be taking between now and the election? A survey was taken that indicates 12 million highly armed right-wing extremist will resort to violence, should Trump lose.
We are the messenger here. We are calling this out now so that our community can think, and hopefully take heed. At least we hope you weigh the possibility.

We Take on Ron DeSantis and his myopic view of "Woke". Conservatives have said that the young people of this country have been indoctrinated by our education system. This is causing them to vote Democratic.
DeSantis rejects "Woke" ideology. Does he even know what "Woke" means and how it came about?
Woke- What does that mean? Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".
To be "woke" politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality, Merriam-Webster Dictionary states.
Woke is defined by the DeSantis administration as "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them," according to DeSantis' general counsel, as reported by The Washington Post.
"We reject woke ideology," DeSantis said in his election night speech. "We will never ever surrender to the woke agenda. People have come here because of our policies."
DESANTIS CLAIM:
Books are being removed from Florida classrooms and libraries because they are “pornographic, violent or inappropriate.”
FACT:
Books that have been banned in Florida include:
- Biographies of Hank Aaron and Roberto Clemente that Duval Countyadmitted to removing from shelves for nearly a year, along with 177 other books from a collection of diverse books.
- And Tango Makes Three, a picture book about two male penguins raising a chick.
- Stella Brings the Family, a picture book about a girl with two dads.
- When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball, pulled from open shelves temporarily after one person complained about it.
- Forever, by Judy Blume
- Booker Prize winnerThe God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
- Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison’sThe Bluest Eye
- All Boys Aren’t Blue,by George M. Johnson
- The Handmaid’s Tale,by Margaret Atwood
- Dozens of books that include LGBTQ+ themes, protagonists of color, or that touch on race or racism.
BOYCOTT Florida Now!

Exactly what should Black folks’ position on guns be. Do we embrace our 2nd Amendment rights? Or should we do nothing and remain defenseless?
Our children are dying. Our men and women are dying. We need to reconsider our position because the white man will never give up his offensive weapons.
In those states with little or no restrictions, will we start seeing gunfights at high noon? Can you invite someone to a draw-down? Think Doc Holliday in Wyatt Earp “I’m your Huckleberry “
Second Amendment Explained
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
In the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the "Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."
As of May 1, at least 13,959 people have died from gun violence in the U.S. this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive – which is an average of roughly 115 deaths each day.
Of those who died, 491 were teens and 85 were children.
Deaths by suicide have made up the vast majority of gun violence deaths this year. There's been an average of about 66 deaths by suicide per day in 2023.
Most of these deaths have occurred in Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois and Louisiana.
The grim tally of gun violence deaths includes 460 people killed in officer-involved shootings.
In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates (homicides and suicides) three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades.
