We are looking for a new (used) second car to replace our current Volvo - and unlike most people that want newer - I want older! I actually want a vehicle that doesn't have GPS that tracks your every move - whether you have your phone with you or not. I want an old car with low mileage that I can drive without government interference - it may take me awhile, but I'm gonna find it! As for AM radio and Rush - there is/was no one like him. I wonder what he would think and say about the state of the world today - God Help Us, I imagine...

Jo: Do you want my 2004 red Toyota Solara? I love everything about it, but the interior is wearing out and so is the exterior. No GPS. We rarely use debit or credit cards because the government doesn't need to know what we buy and where we are. Given your age, YOU will be living under tyranny at the rate we are now headed there. Given my age, I hope to be gone by then. I know I already have a target on my back because of my articles and the fact that I am on one podcast every week (soon to be on another one). I REFUSE to cower!!!!!! After cowering for decades to maintain my license to practice law, I am done being a whipped dog. Diane

I feel the exact same way! I don't use my credit card unless I absolutely have to and I only use cash. The government is our enemy. I have a 2016 Ford Fusion with less than 60,000 miles on it. I owe nobody. After being a "subservient" farmer's wife for 20 years nobody, and I mean NOBODY, will ever tell me what I can and can't do again, even if there has to be blood shed! My gloves came off when they hurt children with their "poisonous" jabs. I will protect a child with my last dying breath, if I have to.

Yes, the government is our enemy. As a Baby Boomer I hope to be gone before the tyrants wipe out all our freedoms.

Seems like they're covering every angle.

Yep!! Americans will need a "Radio Free America" pretty soon so that some other country can tell us what is happening in our own country.

Two years ago I bought what I plan to be my last car. I wanted a used SUV, with a disc player because I listen to books rather than the radio and the hatch needed to go up instead of sideways like my last SUV. It took me a while to find it since the Disc players are no longer in vehicles, and I am too technologically an idiot and don't know to stream or whatever you need to do. Plus I would not purchase an American-made vehicle, they are all too woke for me. Where is this world going to?

Forget Ford and any maker going down this track. Encourage all friends to go into “Ford Stores@ and ask about AM radios availability in their full line of cars. And just say, no AM radio, no sale!!

Also take some time and find out how the folks running radio free Europe fired all Trump supporters employees. “communication stuff” is very important. The libs will control everything. 1984 was right on. Talk about long range planning. Ignorance facilitates the spread!!!! Think Germany in the 30’s!!!

Rick: I just started reading "1984," which was written in 1949. In just the first three pages it sounds like what DEMOCRATS are doing to us RIGHT NOW.

I had to search for a bookstore that had it in stock - certainly wasn't going to buy a copy online - that has to be grounds for the Democrats/Globalists naughty list!

Jo: As we drive to Custer, SD, I am reading "1984" and am shocked that, in 1949, Orwell predicted what is happening during the Era of Biden. Beware: many books are being rewritten to make them woke, such as Agatha Christie and Dr. Suess. Alexis d' Tocqueville's masterpiece has been rewritten to remove all mention of Christianity which was the central theme of his three volume book. It is now only one volume. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!
