Catherine Herridge is one of the only reporters I still respect from the mainstream news, and there is a lot of talk about a recent statement she made about the upcoming year of 2024 when she indicated that she thought there would be a Black Swan event at some point. I agree with her; there may be several. There are a lot of bad guys in the world that have been dramatically empowered by bad laws, weak politics, globalism, terrorism, and eroded values, and the power and money that have come from these activities are not going to be given up easily. I expect a lot of attempts to unleash violence into our society before power is given back or taken back by force. Whatever the case, the bad guys will not just ride off nicely into the night. That’s why they are bad guys; they do bad things and harm innocent people. So I think 2024 will be unusually difficult, much worse than 2020 when color revolutions were unleashed in the streets with a few phone calls from the rich and famous. Sheer whores who will do anything for a buck took over entire cities in 2020 and nearly burned Washington DC to the ground. The media and political figures responsible for the terrible things that happened in 2020 want you to think about the time that people pushed back on January 6th, hoping to erase from your mind everything you had seen and experienced and that some fantasy of normalcy could come from the Biden administration in those early days of 2021. But no, people didn’t forget, and they are voting for Trump anyway; populist movements everywhere are looking for revenge, using the law first to implement it. But that leaves the bad guys nowhere to go, and you can bet they will try every desperate thing to outrun justice.

One thing that has been on my mind is that I had to scold a few of our local news people from the network news who were trying to stoke riots from downtown Cincinnati to come up into West Chester to harass people outside the I-275 loop. A few did come, but it didn’t go very far. My response was similar to what I’m about to say, and in some cases, I walked people I know through the process of buying guns to defend their homes. These were people who don’t usually think this way but were not about to let a bunch of thugs ransack their homes, rape their women, and make a general mess of things in their community. But you can bet that George Soros and all his friends intended for all that to happen even more. What happened recently in Israel could quickly occur anywhere in the United States; the intention of the bad guys is undoubtedly there, and if they aren’t going to respect our laws and enforcement community, then what choice does anybody have? So I helped a lot of people get their hands on guns “just in case,” and the critical riots from Fox 19 News and Channel 5 fizzled out and moved back down the highway to hang out in Over-The-Rhine. Thankfully, it got close to being messy and never quite evolved into a crisis. But people learned from those events that it was possible and needed to be prepared. That’s why I’m recommending to everyone this time membership to Second Call Defense, which is insurance for gun owners who may need to make that second call after a defensive shooting to keep a very corrupt judicial system from destroying your life in the aftermath, which is one of their strategies against the Second Amendment.

We’ve seen how lawfare has been used against Trump, and before all these recent ostentatious displays of law abuse, it has occurred in many ways in our own hometown. Right now, I can think of how the law has been weaponized against Darbi Boddy, who has a bogus hearing on December 29th. She’s the school board member from Lakota who has so many radical elements trying to destroy her life just because she exists, and they want her in jail. And the local Republican Party has been stoking the fires to make it happen—hazardous stuff. I could say the same of what happened to Roger Reynolds, the former Butler County auditor. I just received a very nice Christmas note from Judge Elderstein, a story where the Butler County judges go after their own in really detrimental ways, and this story involves the prosecutor of Butler County, Michael Gmoser, and many other influential people in Ohio who have been engaged in lawfare against political rivals. These law enforcement types cannot be trusted and they are not the people you want to be dealing with after a defensive shooting. Ohio is a lot better on gun laws, particularly Stand Your Ground and Constitutional Carry as a result of our current government doing really good things to make them happen. I’m a permit holder and probably always will be. And yes, because of my lifestyle, it comes up more than you’d like. I had an incident just a few days ago where everyone made it to Christmas Dinner. But gun altercations are more of a reality in a politically charged society as we have now, where radical elements are empowered to bring harm to innocent people, and those innocent people have no choice but to defend themselves. We want to trust the law to do their jobs, but there are many reasons to understand that trust isn’t on the table.

You will get benefits if you use my name to join Second Call Defense. I know the people involved and I like them a lot. I usually don’t bring up these kinds of memberships, but I would say, especially this coming year of 2024, to protect yourself with Second Call Defense or an insurance program like it. I’m not here to sell you insurance. I have been associated with Second Call Defense for a long time, around ten years now. Over that span, there have been six times when I almost had to make that second call, counting the recent incident from the other day. And believe me, before you pull the trigger on an attacker, it does run through your mind. Because once you do pull that trigger and someone dies as a result, the political hellhounds who want to attack the Second Amendment will be all over you, trying to use that tragedy to destroy your life in every way they can. With Second Call Defense, you let their lawyers handle your case as soon as the police arrive. They’ll help you get your gun back, and they help with bond money and the kind of procedures that a person without representation would find to be a nightmare. You don’t want to become a January 6th prisoner or go through what Darbi Boddy is going through now because the law has targeted you for their acquisition of power. A self-defense shooting is bad enough without having the legal system destroy your entire life for its display of power and political objectives. So, as some friendly advice, I would recommend everyone who carries a firearm, even in a Constitutional Carry way, to join Second Call Defense, even if just for 2024. I hope it’s not the case, but things will likely get very rough in 2024, and you want to be prepared on all fronts. Putting up with detrimental behavior is not an option. But it would be best to protect yourself with more than a gun. Insurance certainly helps, and it will rest your mind in those times when you do have to use a weapon and pull the trigger against someone attacking you. I can’t recommend Second Call Defense more; it may be the most important thing you can do for yourself in 2024. It’s rough out there; access to good legal representation certainly needs to be part of any strategy that deals with the malicious intent of a society gone mad.
