Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #302

Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #302. Thanks for stopping by for this month's edition. It is December 2025. Thanks for your continued support. May Peace be with you and your family through this holiday season. This year is quickly winding down and as it is said, "this one will soon be history." Hopefully we all can look back over the year and believe we are personally in a better place than when the year started. I haven't decided yet if our nation is better or worse to close the year. Life is changing for many and will continue to change as we transition to AI and the new digital world.

Our family enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving with family near Atlanta, GA for five days. With each visit the realization occurs that we are all getting older, kids are aging and grandchildren are growing up quickly. Our oldest is taking her driving tests and our youngest is in local sports leagues, When Pap Pap hears the word boyfriend mentioned it curls the hair on my neck. Where does life go so fast.

Watching family age has also brought the realization we all are getting older and that means how we approach preparedness changes to meet our new capabilities. We must think about these things ahead of time. If you are one of the primary people in your plan, what happens when you are sick or hurt? Who does your task? As we age and our abilities change, we must plan in advance to adjust. The work must continue, and someone has to be responsible for the work. Men are hesitant to pass off their work to others. There comes a time when working smarter to avoid injury must come into consideration. I'm familiar with a few HFS families who are already making adjustments to downsize their property, cattle, and tasks, because of age and physical changes. It's easy to dream big and plan big until we take time to plan out how the added task will be accomplished.

Ms. Lucy and I battled some form of health issues almost all of 2025. She is still in some regiment or another with doctor appointments and changes to her health. I have endured some form of bronchitis pretty much since returning from work on the ground at Hurricane Helene. I don't know how many trips to the doctor I made since Jan 2025, but it was a bunch. We are thankful to God for His continued protection as we work through these unknowns. I think back over the years, and Festus and I used to talk about the world and preparedness. Not aging. Now, we talk about aging and changes to our abilities. Just as the world is changing, so are we.

Christmas will be upon us soon and with it comes colder weather and snow, depending on your location. Again, enjoy the season but plan ahead and be smart. Work around your home or road trips as well. Take time to think ahead and plan your actions, don't forget to pack your vehicle for winter and prepare for the season, Don't forget to check on your neighbors during the holiday season. It can be a very lonely and depressing time for everyone. Do they have plenty of food, heat, and unfrozen pipes. Do they know how to reach out for help in their community?

The next PENL will post in 2026 and a new year. I don't want to rush life, but I will be glad for 2025 to be in the rear-view mirror. I hope you have a blessed holiday season with loved ones and take a few minutes to reflect on the blessings surrounding you and all of us. God is good and He is the reason for the season. Ms. Lucy and I spend much of December attending many music and production events at local churches in our area. From Dollywood's Christmas shows to a local church and their live Christmas tree rowed with choir members singing to the season. We love this time of year between Thanksgiving and Christmas to spend time with neighbors and friends leading up to Christmas. Of course, I fit in my favorite Christmas movies like Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase, A Christmas Story, and more. What are your holiday things you like to do each year?

Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday season. May 2026 be prosperous and a happy year for you.

We must make this brief public announcement to protect the innocent.

Ding, Ding, Ding....Attention HFS readers..... Opinions shared in this newsletter are just that, opinions, and nothing more. Read at your own risk. The owner and author of this site is not responsible for hurt feelings or thin-skinned readers. I do my best to show restraint and respect to the best extent possible. I take as many precautions as possible and try to remain as nonpolitical as possible, however, there are times when I just can't help but point certain things out. Occasionally I use words only Patriots recognize and understand. It's not personal against any non-Patriot. It's just the truth. Sometimes we must pull up our spenders and suck it up. Just saying. Stay the course, read what you want, and avoid the rest. Avoid fear porn as much as possible and the day will be okay. When all else fails… Keep the faith and always have Hope.

Thoughts for the month - You are being fooled and refuse to acknowledge it

No matter how many times I tell someone they are being lied too, they go back to the same routine getting a daily fix of the national and global psychosis. Just like a rat and cheese, a rat and sugar, or a rat and cocaine, they have to have more. Are we a zombie state already? We make nothing any longer and have a huge welfare state mentality. The rich get richer and the poor must be cared for by the government.

Our government is nearly $40 trillion dollars in debt to close the year and we now purchase roughly 75% of our food from China. Do you know what you are eating? I had a doctor recently tell me "Don't buy your food from the center aisles of the grocery story." Many citizens can't afford to shop other than the local Dollar General. Now, prices at Dollar General are rising.

Civil War in America. I can't believe the mainstream voices now using the words Civil War in America if something doesn't give soon. Believe it? Most refuse to believe it. Just like they refuse to believe the government can cause earthquakes and manipulate the weather. This simply tells me the same people aren't well read.

Through all the craziness I have experienced in life, two quotes remain at the front of my mind. They are:

• "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.? Former CIA Director Casey

• "Control the rood, control the people. Control the energy, control the continents, control the money, control the world." Former Secretary of State - Henry Kissinger

I have stood on the mountain and shouted as loud as possible to wake up the masses and warn those who would listen. The warning shouts of running out and soon will go silent. I would encourage you to put aside all distractions and listen closely to the following video. It is another voice warning you of what is happening now and more to come.

Don't be left on the island alone. Wake up.

Let us move along.

Prayers - Please keep our great nation, our elected leaders, military and first responders in your thoughts and prayers. We pray for good health and wisdom. Please pray for our leadership to find answers and guidance to the problems facing our great nation. May your faith remain strong and answers to the unknown provided. God is good and may our prayers blanket and protect you and your circumstances. I pray for each, and every one of our Patriots.

Our HFS family has many prayers needs for health and positive uplifting. We love you all and continue praying for each of you.

May we pray for all the blessings and things in life to be thankful about and continued hope for revival around the world. We must continually pray for the unsaved, our family and friends who live each day without the protection for eternal life and salvation.

As Patriots we must stay strong and never give up. Our home, community, and nation need us now more than ever. Stay focused on your local community and things that will impact you around the nation. Don't allow the events around you to create fear in your life. Build your own self-reliance and focus on faith and hope. Remember we are a blessed nation, and we must continue to be great people today and make a better tomorrow. Keep charging.

Blessings,
