Are you listening and watching!?


Folks...there are many things happening right now that should be of concern to all of us.  I don't know how many of you keep up with "the news", but most of what I hear on legacy media is very diluted and behind time. I listen and follow several individuals (and you know how I hate social media, but it happens to be where I get some of the most accurate information about what is going on in the globe right now). And very little of what it hear and read can I put a positive spin on.

Peter Thiel relocates to Argentina.

New York Times: “The billionaire’s new roots in Argentina are said to be partly motivated by concerns about the future of the United States and shared beliefs with Argentina’s right-wing leader.”

************************************************* 

From Hal Turner, several reports....

May 28, 2026 - 5:25 PM EDT -- within the past 60 mintes, IRGC missile forces launched rockets towards 4 ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which were passing through the strait without agreement with Iran - among them, one is presumably an American military ship.

At the same time, explosions are being reported in southern Iran, and loud bilateral gunfire is heard along the coastline.

UPDATE 5:34 PM EDT --  Attack CONFIRMED.

Iran's IRGC Navy carried out a missile attack on four vessels attempting to bypass the Strait of Hormuz without IRGC coordination, including American vessels.

UPDATE 6:32 PM EDT --

Now being told "fierce clashes are now underway between the US Navy and the Revolutionary Guard in the coastal Bushehr area."

UPDATE 7:43 PM EDT --

Reports are STILL coming in saying lengthy "fierce clashes" are still underway in the coastal Bushehr area after Iran launched five, one-way, attack drones, toward a US commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

The US Navy shot down all the drones without exception, then immediately launched a strike on the Iranian land launch site before it could launch more attack drones...

*************************************************

Yesterday Morning, 5/27.....

May 27, 2026 -- 11:11 PM EDT --  Iran has launched a Ballistic Missile and Drone attack against Kuwait.

11:13 PM EDT -- Air Raid Sirens blaring throughout Kuwait . . . .

Kuwait Army Has Issued a NOTICE:

11:20 PM EDT --  Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement claiming retaliation.

The IRGC said it "carried out an attack on a U.S. airbase in retaliation for an incident near Bandar Abbas Airport today,"  Tasnim News Service is reporting.

11:32 PM EDT -- MORE:  In their statement, the IRGC says "aggression will not go unanswered."

Oil prices are up nearly +5% on the news.

7:35 AM EDT -- THURSDAY -- CENTCOM says Iran carried out an “egregious ceasefire violation” overnight, launching a ballistic missile toward Kuwait and multiple attack drones near the Strait of Hormuz. 

The missile was intercepted by Kuwaiti forces while the U.S. took out five drones and prevented a sixth launch from Bandar Abbas.

President Trump still has faith a deal can happen, but he’s signaling he’s willing to finish the job if Iran keeps pushing.

Kaliningrad Attacked By Drones; Flew Through Poland and Lithuania Air Space 

The countries of Poland and Lithuania seem to have voluntarily made themselves "Party to the Conflict" between Russia and Ukraine today.   The remote Russian enclave of Kaliningrad was attacked by drones.

The countries of Poland and Lithuania seem to have voluntarily made themselves "Party to the Conflict" between Russia and Ukraine today.   The remote Russian enclave of Kaliningrad was attacked by drones.

The only problem is that the drones had to fly through the air space of Poland, Lithuania, or both, in order to attack Kaliningrad. The map below shows Kaliningrad, which is Russian territory despite not being physically attached to Russia, sort of like  how Alaska and Hawaii are US territory, without being attached to the continental USA.

As seen on the map, except for a sea attack, the only way drones could get into Kaliningrad would be through Polish or Lithuanian air space.  

Since those two countries are already on a "war footing" over the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, and have numerous NATO troops, radar, and weapons systems on their soil, they MUST have known the drones were crossing their air space and either LET IT HAPPEN . . . . or perhaps they simply gave Ukraine permission.

Either way, it now appears that Poland and Lithuania are legitimate targets for Russian retaliation by force.

*************************************************

As of 9:26PM CDT WTI oil is at $87.89/bbl, it has jumped up almost $10 today. Our refined inventories are are at a low not seen in a long time. 

Silver is at $76.40 as I type this. Barely a week ago it was over $100/oz. 

If you have not seen or heard, with all the infrastructure that has been damaged/blown up/shut down in the Middle East (M.E.) oil fields & the refineries that have been attacked, we are headed for hard times. When the heads of those M.E. companies and countries come out publicly and state that it will take  12-24+ months minimum to get the damage repaired and all the infrastructure back online....what that means is....we haven't seen anything yet from what I am gleaning out of all this turmoil and information coming out. 

I do truly hope that all of you have made some kind of provision of putting back extra food, maybe gas, have extra batteries, think "disaster" when you think about what you would need to get thru a possibly long time of shortages. I honestly hope that I am wrong, that I am looking at the worst case scenario and that these things will not come to pass....but I have a bad feeling about the near term future.

So folks, stay safe, think safe, get into a preparedness mode of mindset....we all will be needing it if this keeps heading down the road it is on.

Take care,

Frog🐸 & Rosie🐢

Missiles & drones in the air in Middle East

As I get ready to go to bed the Middle East is heating up again. Oil has jumped up about 5% in the pst couple of hours.

As I have been trying to say for a few months that we all should live in a "preparedness mode" just in case. Well I think the "just in case" keeps getting closer and closer.

If you have not done anything in the direction of putting back/up some of wht you need for daily life.....I just hope it is not too late to do something about it.

My personal feeling is we are about to come into a rough time in all our lives. 

I hope I'm wrong. But it really isn't looking very promising right now.

Take care & God bless.

And for the past couple of weeks we have been catching up on rain that we didn't get in Feb or Mar. So much so that we've been under flood watches again! But no complaints because the land really needed the moisture.

And if all goes well I hope to have my lumber by weekend for my cabin and get started soon on it and the "mini-homestead"! πŸ˜‰ 

I hope this finds everybody healthy and safe. 

 So until our next meeting .....  Be Safe, Travel Easy, Go to the Woods when you can....And live in a Preparedness Mode!!

Waiting for Dry Days Now!!

 

Hi gang! Still in a rather holding type pattern. It has been raining for the past 2 weeks on and off...and we are still in need of more wet!! 

As you can see I have settled into a cabin size of 8'x14'. It seems to look rather small, but....when you consider that I have lived in an open floor space of less than 23 sq ft for the last .... oh ....12+ years.... having an open floor space of right at 100 sq ft is a massive increase in living area!

And that open space is just that, open floor space. That does not include the utility/pantry, bathroom, daybed/couch, kitchen area or secretary and wood stove spaces! So it will be very open to me! And with the utility/pantry area I'll have actual storage space! There will also be storage areas under daybed, kitchen counter and shelves along walls!

I will not know what to do with myself!! 🀠

I don't know how many of you are keeping up with the goings on in the M.E., or for that matter, Europe & the rest of the globe. Everything revolves around the oil that is not getting delivered. Or the LNG for that matter. The shortage of fertilizer supplies and the "dryness" of the farm lands. I know that there are folks that will think Frog has fallen on his head. Well, could be! But with what the "big guys" that have to deal with all the oil infrastructure have been saying the past few weeks, they are getting louder each day.

With all the infrastructure that has been blown to hell and back in the Arab countries, all the tankers that are not moving on the oceans, it is only going to get worse for EVERYONE in the coming weeks and months. There is already oil coming up short on the store shelves. Gas just keeps going up and we have not seen anything yet. I am seeing things that I normally would get each month on my monthly restock run come up limited or just not there.

I have been putting back food and supplies and "necessities" for the past several months. I'm hoping you folks have also! I have even tried to get stocked up on Rosie's food! You can't find it on Amazon, Wally was out for several weeks (the 4+ pound bag is now a 3.5 pound bag). I'm not going to harp on it, but I hope that you are not listening to the daily BS from ALL the media news services and have stocked up on at least some of your daily/monthly things....because like it or not, we're in for a roller coaster ride soon.

So...how is you summer starting? I hope you are getting some rain. We are finally here in Alabama. In fact, over the next 10 days they are now calling for 4-5 inches, on top of the 2-3.5 inches we have gotten over the past few weeks. The latest "drought monitor map" came out today and the state is still 90+% in some stage of drought by the measurements. I'm very hopeful that we get that 5 inches of rain, maybe more before June and summer! If we don't it will be a long hot season!!

OH! Almost forgot to mention, Jude (grandson) was in a walking boot for a few weeks. The gym bit him! Light fracture on lower leg, right at growth plate. But seemed to come thru that ok....until yesterday afternoon. He was released with no restrictions. Well......

He got to gym yesterday, got on the trampoline (not going to say he didn't
do what he should have)  but was back in the ER and at the orthopedic Dr's office this morning early! He just royally sprained it this time, but they are probably casting it this time. His mom told him that if he even LOOKED at a trampoline during the next 4+ weeks she would give him a shot of horse sedative!!  LOL!

So things are just rolling along here and I'm still working of getting used to the fact that I will not be on the road as much as the past 20 or so years. But I guess it is about time!

Hope this finds everyone well, in a good place, living the preparedness lifestyle!!

Until next update.....

Be Safe, Travel Easy, Go To The Woods (often as possible)...and live the Preparedness Lifestyle!!
