Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

One of the hardest topics to cover is bartering.  There's no trick to it, except to be wise in your dealings.  Also, it's fine to help people out, but not at the detriment to your supplies.  Always be wise in helping those out in need.

As always, we went off topic a lot.  However, there's a lot going on right now.  Keep your heads on a swivel.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

We did our homework, folks.  Well, mostly, kinda, a little.  What we did do was create the list of ballot initiatives for the Newton and Jasper counties.  We also covered some of todays news.  Listen in to hear what we have to say.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

We went over optics tonight.  There is a lot of information on this topic.  Things to keep in mind:

Select your optics for your frame.  Select your optics for the range.  Select your optics for your usage.

This is a topic that is WELL covered all over the internet.  We just hit the highlights, and what we use.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

Well, we're getting back to basics and are talking about food preservation.  There is a lot of information to cover on this one.  So much so, that we hit some highlights and recommended some books.

We also, of course, talked about current events that are not widely broadcast right now.  The world is on fire.  However, there is light.  Be mentally and spiritually fit.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

Tonight we had to keep it short.  Too many things to do in a day.  However, we high covered a LOT of things that are going on.  It's been a hell of a news week, and there's a lot not being covered by legacy media.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

It's the weekend of the 4th.  And being a national holiday, it has a rich history.  You know what that means, a background trivia from us.  We did some research on the holiday to pass on to you.

As usual, we strayed off topic, all over the place.  However, we had fun about it.  Why not?

We also wanted to give everyone some hope on what's to come.  There are dark times here, and worse times on the horizon.  However, there is always the light of hope.  Don't get bogged down in the darkness.  Be the light.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

We finally got around to the topic we wanted to talk about two weeks ago.  Not that we're complaining.  Two weeks ago was phenomenal with the listener feedback.  Thank you.

It's vitally important that you listen to this podcast.  We go over a lot today that's not in the news, and what to do in critical life or death situations.  We're here to help in all situations.  Take care, and keep your head on a swivel.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

Tonight was supposed to be about current events and situational awareness.  Lt. Dan and 1stSgt Bilko started the night off that way.  However, we had such great listener engagement that it turned into answering their questions and responses.  It was the best night we've ever had!  Thank you all for that!

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

Tonight is Memorial Day, as well as our one year anniversary at doing broadcasts.  That part isn't nearly as important as Memorial Day.

We broadcast from the Neosho VFW, and had special guest Bill Doubek.  You should listen to his story.

Hello, and welcome to Southern Missouri Patriots.

Tonight we gave some updates on our chicken coops.  We have posted some videos, and photos.  However, we need to get you all more.  Long story short, we get into the details.  Listen in to hear how it's going.

Also, there's a lot going on in the world, and we hit the highlights.  As usual, we make light of it.  Yet, also, give you something to think about.

Be well, and keep your head on a swivel.
