I asked my grown daughter what her favorite memories were from childhood, expecting her to say something like the Christmas that she got a Barbie Dream House (that I had to work overtime to pay for in those days) or the time her dad took her to DisneyWorld. I was surprised when she said it was making cookies with me and decorating a gingerbread house every year. As a divorced single mother raising a child, time was all I had to give her. It paid off!
Agree 100% about encouraging folks who live in blue hellholes to spend time in real America. Familial obligations keep me in such a hellhole. Respites in the woods keep me sane.
During Covid I had many friends living in “blue hell hole states” that came to visit me here in Texas and were astounded how normal and un-repressive life here was. Where you live matters!
Texas is a big place. Austin, where I currently am, is being rapidly White Erased. New "Paper Texans" from all over the world, who do not share our biospirit, are changing the place to suit their biospirits. Trajectory: another antiwhite "blue" hellhole. Appears about ten years behind California in its destruction, if https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/the-intentional-implosion-of-california
is right. I pray we overcome the psychological warfare that has brought us to this place.
I feel your pain! We’re about 45 minutes from Drippin’, in the country side near Spring Branch. We no longer go into Austin. Hell, truth be told, we stay out of San Antonio if we can as well! Comal County remains one of the most conservative counties in Texas and we’re working really hard to keep it that way! It’s disgusting they’ve ruined Austin - it used to be a great city.
God bless you, Judy! May you succeed! To do so, you will need to reclaim the moral high ground in the psychological war being waged against heritage Americans. I recommend you or someone you trust take a look at the Go Free Strategem, laid out over at https://nowhiteguilt.org . It's moral. It does not involve hating other groups of people, just loving our people and the civilization we create.
This might be picky and with apologies, but “real America?” Isn’t all of America and by extension all Americans real?
The city of my birth is San Francisco back when its port was being murdered with all the attendant facilities - piers, warehouses, shipping, repair docks, manufacturing, the various unions along with both the housing and the workers with their families being eliminated. Then there is the declining financial district of San Francisco. Why have a financial district when there is nothing to finance and all the banks are merging? How about the small businesses, factories, farms, ranches, and the many, many fruit orchards in the Bay Area? The San Francisco Bay Area is a shadow of what it was. Even the schools and colleges are jokes to what they were. Or the boarded up ghost towns that my family used to live in the Midwest? All the empty factories across the entire country?
Honestly, the Republicans and Democrats are two wings of the Uniparty when it comes to war, money, and business; whatever makes money for the wealthy and the connected is what is important, which is why the entire system political, economy, educational, and military is corrupt. The culture war is the distraction, the façade, a tool to hide the looting of our country by the elites and their sycophants. It is really class warfare by the wealthy and their enablers against **everyone** else. Really, at most ten percent against the bottom ninety percent although too many people are too busy hating what the “other” side, the enemies manufactured by the ruling class for everyone else to hate on. This is not to say that there are not any differences between Americans, but this Cult of the Blue or of the Red is a deliberate creation meant to divide Americans, exaggerate the differences, fan anger and hatred, thus making manipulation, control, and exploitation much easier.
I was recruited a few times by silicon valley firms. My take is that in California you are a serf of the public employee unions. This will continue until the next major CA collapse. When that will be I dunno but sooner or later SF will turn into Detroit. No desire to live there and have hostages to fate.
I, too, am a San Franciscan. The place is still pretty but its soul is vacant.
Meanwhile, I do what Chris does when I can -- get outta town and see more of America. I love America. ❤️🇺🇸I love San Francisco. ❤️🌉We are all hurting. 😪
Except for a few exotic Dems, both parties are resting comfortably in the lap of our greatest ally. Uniparty indeed.
The aforementioned blue hellholes are populated with many who want to "fundamentally change" or outright destroy America. The hatred and contempt flow from blue to red, for the most part. Statues of patriots and founding fathers are defaced and removed, and in their place flags celebrating perversity flap in the wind. Sorry, that bears no resemblance to the America that existed for 250 years.
I’m not saying you’re wrong about anything that you’ve written, but I think this is exactly what Chris is referring to. Get out and put your feet in the grass my friend.
"…you’ll see a tiny image of the San Juan Catholic Spiritual Center in La Garita, Colorado…”
You may recall the grade school “test” in which the first instruction is to completely read the test BEFORE answering any question, with the last one being to put your name on the front wage and ignore all the other instructions.
I stopped reading the above after “Colorado” and then wondered why a religious organization would build a spiritual center that looked like an outhouse.
Perhaps I need a refresher course in grade school…
I'll gladly have that pair of President Donald J Trump's socks off you. And you can be sure I'll treat them with the respect that the best leader of the free world in my lifetime deserves.

I'm pretty sure Javier came after President Trump whose policies opened up the whole of South America to a new dawn of patriotism. Javier took the reins many other South American countries did not... but the change came with Trump
Haha, back a few years ago when all that Floyd stuff kicked off...I kept seeing reports of people protesting, and wondered what the Bureau of Land Management had done to incense everyone so.
I thought you must be off 'getting real'. Good for you. I am fortunate enough to live next door to Joint Base Lewis McChord which is probably bigger than Rhode Island...and you can get lost in the training areas very easily.
I have gotten turned around while running a few times turning a short 4 mile run into a 10-12 miler. While I am less than 2 miles from a road in any particular direction, it is so quiet, so green, so beautiful that I melt into the present.
I cannot do “unsentimental about dogs” …. So I’ll have to miss it and be grateful for the warning. On the other hand , bright yellow Trump socks in my so cal neighborhood could be interesting. Or , more than likely , cause my death
I’ve ordered an “I'm Voting For The Convicted Felon” flag to fly along with Blue Line, Betsy Ross and Israeli flags. Not much political risk here in the Smokies.
Lame stream media blathered on about how Justice Alito's wife flew it at there vacation home. It's been around since the Revolutionary War, for "heaven's sake"!!!!
Sorry I was unclear – I already have 50+: WWI, WWII, AR-15s (x5?), AR-10 (x2), Old West replicas (lever action and revolvers), and innumerable modern handguns and maybe 30K rds (+ 2 large gun safes). I live on a 30 acre farm, and if I were to put up a flagpole for each weapon, it’d look like the Washington Monument. (For those questioning the wisdom of publishing this info, I doubt any of Chris’ subscribers are a risk, and most criminals are cowards who wouldn’t risk confronting an Army Expert Rifleman.)
Sadly, the criminals one must fear today are the unaccountable ones who wear cheap suits, vote the straight D ticket, and wile away their days supporting the ever growing mass of regulations that restrict, in the most minute detail what, how, or when you can add to, subtract from, store, display, or God forbid, use your collection.
My upside down 5x8 foot American flag keeps the idiots away. It went upside down over the years, but most recently it was the day the kangaroo court of new cunt city convicted pdt.
Old Army friends of ours had a ranch in Pagosa Spings. They recently sold it and are moving back to NC, because Colorado has become too "Californicated" for them. It's crazy to me that CO has gone so far left.
Good for you and your daughter! My husband and I just got home from a 35-day RV roadtrip, California to eastern Michigan and back via two different routes. I've been blogging the trip and I'm almost done!
Seems a good place to... view mushroom 🍄 clouds from... I just read a scifi novel where a field archaeologist is out there-ish when a worm hits the banks, no ETF, no EFTPOS, no cards work. It takes only a week before the food runs out 😑 dogs? Yum!
Chris. That reminds me - here in Australia a city fella asked an Aboriginal fella (who was eating a snake he had just cooked) "what does snake taste like ?" The Aboriginal chap looked at him like he was stupid and replied "snake"
That ‘s what my cousin said. He kills rattlesnakes all the time out west Texas. Likes to send photos of them just to freak me out. He eats them which makes me sick. I asked him, of course “ what do they taste like?” I expected him to say “chicken” so he got me good when he said “ snake”. I guess I really am a city slicker.
All snakes are protected here Ellis so only Aboriginal people can eat them without copping a massive fine. I think I'll stick to beef. Your cousin sounds like a good bloke 😁
PS, I've been told that snake, crocodile, chicken (most larger birds) have a similar taste since they are all on the same genetic lineage as the dinosaurs. 🤷🏼♂️
I don't think I've driving that particular route, but it's been my very good fortune to travel through similar country. God's country. I miss the mountains, and high deserts. I miss the west, though Texas is accommodating. Must. Take. Long. Road-trip. Soon. With sons in UT and Eastern ID, there's reason to go.
Thanks for sharing.
BTW, a long time in the car is the BEST chatroom with one's kids. Music, scenery, adventure.
Good for you, Chris, especially for your daughter.
No matter what they say or how much they roll their eyes, they will remember.
Chris, as much as I look forward to your columns, I am glad you spent time with your daughter. Those are times you can never get back. Cherish them.
I asked my grown daughter what her favorite memories were from childhood, expecting her to say something like the Christmas that she got a Barbie Dream House (that I had to work overtime to pay for in those days) or the time her dad took her to DisneyWorld.

I’ll take a look at it. Thanks.
Failure to do this leads to excessive blackpilling.
I wonder if the passport bros are passport bros because they don't do this?

Yes to all!
Thank you for the pictures, which brought a little of the grandeur of America to me in my New York blue zone.

I’m pretty certain a number of others have a better claim. Javier MILEI for one.
I'm pretty sure Javier came after President Trump whose policies opened up the whole of South America to a new dawn of patriotism. Javier took the reins many other South American countries did not... but the change came with Trump
Bureau of Land Management…not the other one…I was startled and assumed activists had painted a slogan on the side of a mountain.
Yes, I once answered a text from my East Coast in-laws by telling them that we were camping on BLM land. Much confusion.
LOL
Haha, back a few years ago when all that Floyd stuff kicked off...I kept seeing reports of people protesting, and wondered what the Bureau of Land Management had done to incense everyone so.
I know that area well. I traveled Colorado for twenty years. I had a biker brother, Woody, lived in Monte Vista. And, boy, do I love the Sangres.

Enjoy! We'll survive while you renew.
bsn
Southern Colorado is really something. It feels like what the phrase "hidden gem" was invented to describe.
Sounds like a great trip.
I cannot do “unsentimental about dogs” …. So I’ll have to miss it and be grateful for the warning. On the other hand , bright yellow Trump socks in my so cal neighborhood could be interesting. Or , more than likely , cause my death
I’ve ordered an “I'm Voting For The Convicted Felon” flag to fly along with Blue Line, Betsy Ross and Israeli flags. Not much political risk here in the Smokies.
Way more fun here …. According to my neighbors my American flag is an advertisement for “She has a gun “
I will not confirm their accuracy. It’s more fun that way .
I have an "Appeal to Heaven" garden flag. That makes me a cult member. I've heard its a popular cult, been around for a couple thousand years! ❤️
Now I’m jealous… a cult ???? Clearly you are having all the fun
Lame stream media blathered on about how Justice Alito's wife flew it at there vacation home. It's been around since the Revolutionary War, for "heaven's sake"!!!!
I can’t do the flag = gun symbolism – I don’t have enough room for all the flag poles. 😂 (collector).
If you have to choose … collect more guns
Sorry I was unclear – I already have 50+: WWI, WWII, AR-15s (x5?), AR-10 (x2), Old West replicas (lever action and revolvers), and innumerable modern handguns and maybe 30K rds (+ 2 large gun safes).

Sad. Deeply sad.
The only good news is we'll see them regularly again.
Good for you and your daughter! My husband and I just got home from a 35-day RV roadtrip, California to eastern Michigan and back via two different routes. I've been blogging the trip and I'm almost done!
Welcome home! Russia just parked a nuclear sub in my backyard.
Don't worry, the firm, steady hand of Joe Biden will....
Wait, shit.
lol
Yeah, I’m thinking I’m going out to say hey, welcome, please save us.
Seems a good place to... view mushroom 🍄 clouds from... I just read a scifi novel where a field archaeologist is out there-ish when a worm hits the banks, no ETF, no EFTPOS, no cards work. It takes only a week before the food runs out 😑 dogs? Yum!
Snakes. Over a campfire.

Love gator and eel. Some of the best meat available.
Kangaroo is good and cheap too !
😂. Love it.
PS, I've been told that snake, crocodile, chicken (most larger birds) have a similar taste since they are all on the same genetic lineage as the dinosaurs. 🤷🏼♂️
thanks John 👍🏻
Did they have a little sign that said, "no step on snek?"
I should have made one.
Tastes like fishy chicken
Economic efficiency and self reliance are at opposite ends of a spectrum, as are comfort and survivability.
I don't think I've driving that particular route, but it's been my very good fortune to travel through similar country. God's country. I miss the mountains, and high deserts.
