In what had to be rather annoying in equal measure to the NeverTrumpers, the pussies running the (R) side of the House and Senate, the leftist morons of Congress, and the official public relations wing of the Democrat Party (also known as the entire lamestream media) trying to portray him as an unqualified lunatic in need of adult supervision, Trump's speech last night was maddeningly presidential. Just when they think he's going to melt down, moderate, or tire of spanking their hindquarters, he grabs another handful of their tails, and commences a-whacking with a wide hickory paddle. And harder.
His SecDef, quietly enjoying the spectacle from the prime seats, famously told the shitlords of Ragistan in his days commanding Marines in Iraq,
"I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”President Trump delivered the same message to Congress last night, especially the Democrats, and they know it. However measured and conciliatory it may have sounded, what you should have heard was this, not in the Queen's English, but in the English of Queens NY:
"Play ball with me, or you're going to get the bat shoved up your ass."Despite a dozen serious issues looming in the future, this is going to be a fun year, if only to watch this play out.
Continue your preparations for sportier eventualities, but do so soberly, at a measured cadence, knowing that a goodly number of the enemies of mankind are getting the crap kicked out of them, and will continue in that state for some good time.
Don't forget to take the occasional pause to laugh at their plight.

Democratic response was pure comedy. After a 5 minute self-introduction of who he was, whoever he was began then meat of his speech by saying that, more than being a Democrat, he is a proud Republican... After a chuckle, I flipped the channel to something more cerebral and interesting. That Jack Tripper is hilarious!
You/re correct Raconteur, 2017 will be fun to watch.
Indeed.
I had no opportunity to see the address, but the reactions have been most gratifying. After a surprise Trump victory (I hesitate to admit that I believed the polls), I spent a sleepless night snickering to the distant, popcorn-like sound of Lefty heads exploding in glorious Surround-Sound.
We live in a wonderful time, with free, daily entertainment to satisfy tastes subtle and gross. It's fresh baked artisan bread and Cirque du Soleil for those of us who earn the bread. The Black Bloc/Antifa tantrums were pure slapstick. (Yes, some of them are dangerous, but mostly to themselves.) The media does nightly improv stand-up and the official Dem reaction borders on High Comedy.
This is Trump's great strength. At every turn, he shows the Left and their supporters for what they are: A drunken bunch of Frankfurt School frat boys who think they're in on the joke, but can't see the irony... they are the joke.
And we are the ones who get to laugh. (Sorry, Mr. Alinsky. It seems Trump read your Rules, you see...)
Good times, friends, something to recount to your grandchildren before the hearth. Yes, keep laying in those preps, hone your skills and sharpen your hatchets.
But do so with a glad heart and a smile. Tide and time are on our side.
Dear Raconteur,
Finally completed emergency medical bags for home and cars. Thank you for the great lists of about a year ago!!! Now shopping for a copy of the Orange book.
QUESTIONS:
- IS IT NECESSARY TO GET THE 10th & MOST RECENT VERSION OF THE ORANGE BOOK? IF OLDER VERSIONS ARE PERMISSIBLE, HOW FAR BACK IS STILL OK?
- FOR EMERGENCY USE (e.g., SHTF), WOULD YOU RECOMMEND HARD OR SOFT COVER?

Congrats on getting it done.
Any of the later versions since probably 1990 are fine, and softcover will do.
The only thing that's changed since then is ACLS/CPR which mostly won't affect you, and trauma/combat field care, which might. If you take a current CPR class and get recent (post-2002) TCCC, the orange books of the last 20 years are fine.
Obviously, the most recent will be the most current practice, but an older version, for cheap, and in your hands now, is better than an expensive current copy you'd have to wait to sink money for, someday.
