I withdraw my comment on Laura Ingraham

Yesterday in my post “Easier to Identify…the darkness of the GOP” < click here to read > I mentioned Laura Ingraham as “nothing more than ‘fall-in-line’ media stooge for the Republican party.” I made that statement in regards to her attacking the brave Congressional members who wouldn’t support McCarthy until he made valuable concessions.

Last night she had two leading McCarthy opponents on TV interviewing them. Her tone was polite, serious, and complimentary as to what was accomplished.

I still believe Laura Ingraham to be a hardcore Republican Party supporter but I withdraw my comment of her being a “‘fall-in-line’ media stooge” for the Republicans. She carried herself as a professional last night and I applaud her for that as she gave a fair and honest hearing to our Congressional heroes.

Another perspective…Christian Nationalism

This came to me from a longtime friend and website supporter. I wanted to post it to allow folks to get another perspective other than mine. A perspective that I may not 100% identify with but one that should be given consideration and thought.

For clarity sake there are multiple different views of “Christian Nationalism”; 1) positive by self-identified right-leaning Christian, 2) negative by the leftists such Democrats, Progressives, liberals, academics, etc. 3) some reservation by folks like me. While I embrace both Christianity and a more God-influenced government, I fear the ability of government to interfere with, even demonize and persecute, different religions. While I won’t pass judgement on the writer’s intention, beliefs, or his advocacy, I will urge commonsense and moderation.

Also, I deleted the writer’s name and the website. When I was doing my research I visited their website. My computer’s anti-virus software immediately gave me a “warning” that concerned me. I posted the warning here for you to see and consider. I would not want any of my site folks to visit their site and run into issues.

So here is is…


Title: “Our Vision for 2023 and The Parallel Economy”

I’m bored with national politics.

I’m done wasting my time, energy, and focus on a rigged system led by blackmailed degenerates who supposedly represent us. I’m done caring what the spineless godless cowards and grifters on both the political left and the right have to say because at the end of the day they are all liberals in one form or another whether they realize it or not. I look back at all the time I invested in national politics over the past few years and can’t help but come to the conclusion that there are far better uses of my energy.

It’s time to accept the reality that America is already starting to balkanize and that the wicked American Regime will inevitably fall under the righteous judgement of God. There are no political solutions to spiritual problems and America is undoubtably a spiritually dead nation.

Our love of God is what made the United States united from its founding. We removed God from the equation over the past several decades and now predictably there is nothing left to hold us all together. The only thing Republicans and Democrats in Congress seem to agree on is sending more of our money to Israel and Ukraine. Count me out. Rome is burning and it’s time for us to start organizing, preparing, and building anew instead of pontificating about national politics in the corrupt and fundamentally broken system that is liberal democracy.

Republicans need to recognize the stark reality that winning in 2024 is a pipe dream. With Democratic control secured in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan the fix is in and electoral victory is impossible at the Presidential level. I don’t care if it’s Trump or DeSantis, winning electorally without these states isn’t possible and it might not happen ever again. We didn’t fix what happened in 2020 and they did it again in 2022. Do you really believe they won’t do the same thing again in 2024? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I won’t be fooled again.

Go And Build

We believe that building the Parallel Economy is the most important thing we can be doing instead of being distracted with the donor class dog and pony show that is national politics. We will be building the infrastructure needed for communication, commerce, education, networking, and information. This infrastructure will be built, owned, used by, and controlled by God-fearing Christians.

To be clear you can still post about national politics on XXX. Obviously nothing is changing with our free speech policy. I’m talking about myself personally and professionally here. National politics isn’t going to be a big focus of mine or of the XXX team. I will be focused on building real solutions, raising my children outside of the beast system, and worshipping Jesus Christ. I hope I can encourage you to do the same.

Our Responsibility To Be Good Stewards of the Blessings From God

God has blessed XXX with tremendous influence, reach, and a growing community of the greatest people on the internet. I no longer have any desire to use that influence and reach to prop up politicians who continually fail to cross the Rubicon or accomplish much of anything outside of fundraising on the outrage of good and decent people in this country and sending our money to foreign countries.

Instead I want to use the platform and reach that God has blessed us with to glorify Him by empowering others to speak freely and engage in commerce with businesses and people who share their values.

I want to inspire young men and women to get married and make babies. I want to encourage Christians to take dominion of their local communities and rise to positions of power across media, education, entertainment, and business. I want to focus on becoming a better Christian, a better leader, a better husband, and a better father while helping others to do the same. Finally I want to continue building the tools and infrastructure at XXX to make all of this possible at scale for tens of millions of people.

We Worship God, Not “Liberal Democracy”

As John Adams once said: our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. Our government, culture, technology, media, and education system is currently being run by usurers, degenerates, liars, crooks, swindlers, sheisters, and predators who reject and hate Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Until that changes, nothing else will. Change starts at home and in particular with the man in the mirror.

A society run by these wicked people is doomed to failure. A national political system rigged to “elect” these people into power is not a system worth defending. Democracy is not our god and liberalism is a cancer on the Good, the Beautiful, and the True. Both of them can and will crumble into ash for all I care. America was founded as a Constitutional Republic, not a “Liberal Democracy.”

There are few things I hate more in this world than liberalism. “Liber” means “free” as in the word liberate. The ideology of liberalism “frees” society and the individual from God and in return enslaves them to Satan and sin. Liberalism is unequivocally the single most destructive ideology in history and enabled one of the largest genocides ever with the murder of tens of millions of God’s precious children in the womb. Liberalism destroyed a millennium of Western society, culture, and homogeneity in about a century.

Lest we forget the wise words of Dr. E. Michael Jones: sexual liberation—which is a byproduct of liberalism—is political control. I pray everyday that God continues His righteous judgement on the failed ideology of liberal democracy and that one day very soon it will be thrown into the dustbin of history where it belongs.

Trust The Plan, God’s Plan

We must accept the reality that we can’t control what the people “in power” are doing. We must accept the hard truth that we can’t even vote them out. All hope is not lost though. We worship the God who has total and complete power over everything. He has blessed us with the ability to influence and build our own families, churches, and local communities.

So that is what must do. We must build and be patient. Being patient doesn’t mean passivity. It means waiting on the Lord by placing our trust in Him while at the same time taking action to defend and preserve our families, faith, and way of life. Rome may be burning, but the fire is not out yet. When it is we will be prepared with our stable families, technology, communities, and the infrastructure needed to rebuild Western nations for the glory of God. Those who put their faith in themselves, in national politics, in politicians, or in anything other than Jesus Christ will be doomed to disappointment and failure.

As I wrote in our best-selling book Christian Nationalism:

We can and must reclaim and maintain our townships, school boards, and counties. Then our state legislatures. Then the entire nation. In order to do so we must exit the beast system completely and build our own parallel Christian society, lying in wait for their system to collapse which is when the Godly infrastructure we have built will fill the vacuum. We must support, start, and grow Christian-owned businesses. We must stop using the technology tools of the enemy and start building and using our own. Christian Nationalism pg. 54

Christian Nationalism isn’t about trying to reclaim or takeover the existing political system. We don’t want to preserve or control the failed and dying political framework that is liberal democracy. We want to reclaim our families, local communities, churches, and most importantly: our own minds. Trying to reclaim the existing political system is like trying to become the captain on the Titanic as it is sinking. America has hit several icebergs. They are taking down the ship whether we like it or not.

Christian Nationalists must build our own ark and sail to better waters. That’s what we are doing here at XXX: building a digital ark and empowering tens of millions of people to build arks for their families, local communities, businesses, and churches.

In many ways we are no different than the first century Christians. It feels like God is hitting the reset button on Christendom and we are being tasked with rebuilding the great Cathedrals which have been all but overtaken by the Synagogue of Satan. We will likely never see the completion of these new Cathedrals in our lifetimes, but by the Grace of God our kin will if we start laying the foundation today.

How To Fight Back

The Globalists can subvert and control the entire American political system, but they can’t stop you from starting a family and being fruitful as God commands. They can’t stop you from being happy despite their control and chaos. They can’t stop you from worshipping Christ. They can’t stop you from getting healthy and eliminating sin and vice from your life.

You want to fight back? This is how: focus on what you can control. You can control how you raise your children. You can control the content you consume. You can control what you eat and what you do with your time. You can control how and where you spend your money. Focus on these things and stop being so concerned and absorbed in things beyond your control, like national politics.

XXX’s Focus for 2023

Our content theme at XXX in 2023 is going to be focused on producing, promoting, and elevating people and businesses who provide resources and information on: Homesteading, Homeschooling, and Homemaking. We are working towards building a digital Christian nation that operates in parallel to the corrupt American kingdom and its wicked culture. That kingdom is not ours. It will fall. It’s time to start acting like it and building for the glory of God’s Kingdom. We hope you’ll join us.

I know I am not alone in this type of thinking because I’ve made many posts on this topic in recent months and these concepts are resonating with people who are disillusioned, disgusted, and demoralized with the state of things.

I’m here to tell you that a Parallel Christian Society is not only possible, it’s happening right now on XXX and in small communities across the nation. Do not despair. God is judging our nation, but we must remain His faithful and obedient children who keep the faith and trust Him even when times get tough. The time to repent and follow Jesus Christ is right now. Take the leap of faith and go all in.

To Him be the glory and honor and power forever amen.

Easier to Identify…the darkness of the GOP

Well, well, well…ain’t it interesting!

So another California swamp rat runs the House of Representatives…swapped one power-hungry, rich, elite, Californicator libertine for another. Congratulations to the GOP…as expected…different side to the same coin. But that is not really the point of this post; the point is “who is who.”

So good ole Kevin “the power-mad” McCarthy won…supported early on by 200 die-hard Republicans and a whole lot of folks in the conventional media.

So let’s look at who those Republican supporters are; 1) called the GOP holdouts “terrorists”, 2) tried to physically attack them, 3) called them “stupid”, “children”, and “enemies.” All of that from fellow Republicans no less…staunch, die-hard, “politics-above-principles” Republicans.

Then there were the media talking heads who also went on the offensive attacking any House Republican who wouldn’t support McCarthy. The two most high-profile of those attackers; Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, both of whom really went after the holdouts on television, radio, and Internet. And I find it interesting…both, but especially Hannity, claimed to be Conservatives and Constitutionalists at one time or another. But in reality they turned out to be nothing more than “fall-in-line” media stooges for the Republican party.

Last Thursday evening we had some friends over for dinner, inevitably the House Speaker vote came up. Not a single person supported McCarthy interestingly enough. But as the discussion continued the question was asked, “What happens if a Speaker isn’t elected?”

Of course the House would grind to a halt, no bills to the floor, no votes on legislation, no committee assignments, etc. Silence hit our little group of friends…then came the smiles. It was unanimous!!! The government, at least the House, coming to a full stop would be one of the best things to happen to the USA.

So I find it interesting…1) within the GOP you can now easily spot those who put politics over principles, and support the likes of “Swamp Rat” McCarthy, 2) you can see that many people would love the elected government to come to a full stop…a true blessing, 3) the myth of some media folks is dispelled…they are GOP hacks, nothing less, nothing more.

I ask you once again…identify your principles and forgo the stink and debauchery of politics.

I was so proud at first…then they caved!

This is exactly why nothing in Washington will change…other than getting worse and worse!

I was so proud of those members of the House who held out against Kevin McCarthy for Speaker!! They were amazing and held the line…till they caved in and let the swamp stink take over.

How sad!

Now, granted, they did win some concessions, and maybe that may help a little bit…but it will be little more than “business as usual” as it has been for over 100 years…Washington selling out the citizens of this nation for power and money.

So who is good ole Kevin McCarthy? Let me remind you…

  • First strike against him…he is from the socialist state of California.
  • He was the House Minority Leader 2019 – 2022 where huge budget deficits, huge increases in national debt were the norm.
  • He was mentored by John Boehner (hardcore drunk) and Paul Ryan…two of the worst spending wackos in history and both dedicated swamp rats.
  • He has been a federal-level politician for 16 years, state-level politician for 4 years…a career politician for 22 years.
  • Before his elected political career he worked for Congressman Bill Thomas from 1987 to 2002. Thomas was well-known as a swamp rat and involved in numerous scandals and criminal activities.
  • In other words…McCarthy is a life-long career politician who never held a real job as an adult…and stinks of the swamp.
  • McCarthy presided over the Republicans losing control of the House in 2018, something he apparently feels qualifies him to rule and reign again.
  • He also supports abortions (a.k.a. infanticide).
  • In 2016 he stated that Trump was on Putin’s payroll.
  • He is also the #1 recipient of campaign contributions from Saudi lobbying firms…in the entire Congress.
  • McCarthy’s brother-in-law’s company, Vortex Construction, has received millions of dollars of no-bid federal contract work.

Here is where McCarthy gets interesting…his net worth.

There are some reports he is only worth $81,000, another says $310,000…and finally an apparently substantiated report that he is worth $95,000,000. So which is true?

Well, let me take a slightly different path…what if any one of them is true?

Let’s say the $81,000 is true…so how does he live in a house valued at $21million and have multiple luxury cars and only worth $81,000? McCarthy drives a Jaguar XF, ($120,000), a Lexus ES ($136,000), a Lincoln Continental, an Aston Martin DBX, a BMW X6, and a Toyota Vellfire. Yeah, the Velfire, at the low-end of his personal vehicle fleet, costs…well, the base model starts at $107,000. That kind of math doesn’t add up, right!?

Well, then let’s try the worth of $310,000…Would that add up either? Yeah, I didn’t think so!

But let’s think about $81k or $310K being true…then he is a very poor money manager!! Earning nearly $200,000 a year plus astronomical benefits for the last 16 years…and all he has to show for it is $81k – $310k???? A Fidelity mutual fund could have done better for him.

But then lets go to the substantiated and documented $95,000,000 worth…think about that one. He and his wife are making a combined $300,000 a year since he was elected to Congress…and he ends up with $95,000,000 net worth. Ah, how does that happen?

Think about it…if they had saved every single penny of their income they would have saved 5% of their current worth. Well, let’s look at it this way as well…let’s say they invested 100% of the $300,000 combined income each year for those 16 years…and earned 20% per year, every year. Pretty nice, eh? Well, they would have saved up 23%…of the $95million net worth.

So, you gotta ask yourself where did the $21million Bakersfield mansion come from? Where did the list of luxury cars come from that total nearly $1million???

Do you have the picture yet on who Kevin McCarthy is, what he does, and how much swamp slime is oozing from every pore of his body?

When the Republicans won the House from the Democrats the country exchanged one corrupt California criminal swamp rat for another. And that is why politics, especially political parties, is NOT the answer…not now, not ever!

Correct Constitutional and eternal principles are the only answer…period!

TRAP: Solar – More Growatt Problems

 I have previously written about Growatt issues before, and I am not a fan of the company…at all. I have worked directly with some of their company folks and I don’t like what I see in the way they conduct business and how they react when confronted with problems regarding their products. So here are two more additional problems.

One of those problems is their ethics in how they conduct business, the other problem is dangerous to US customers.

First, let me explain something…when you see most of the YouTube video reviews of solar equipment you are watching a money making machine. Most companies whose products are being reviewed pay to have those products reviewed by the person doing the video…not all, but most. And each time the video is watched the person who made the video is paid as well. I am not opposed to people making money by providing information on products.

However, some companies whose products are reviewed are quite demanding of the reviewers…such as Growatt. They have a very strict and company-friendly contract. In the case of Growatt the contract requires a pro-Growatt outcome of the review as well as extensive control of the content of the video…almost a script approved by Growatt. And do you think that would influence the person producing the review? Yeah, either its a favorable review or you don’t get paid.

The next issue is with the Growatt 5000ES inverter/charger. In simple terms…it is unsafe. There are two version of the 5000ES; 1) is sold in the overseas market, 2) the other is for the US market. Problem is with the different electrical standards between the US and overseas countries…and it is a potentially deadly difference.

The problem revolves around 120vAC vs 230vAC and the potential of the ground in the US version being energized with 120v and possibly 230v. Ah yeah, the ground being energized…and potentially without a person knowing it until they touch it!

So the same exact model label, the same exact model identifier, and the potential to cause serious problems.

For the most part Signature Solar sells the 5000ES that is safe to use in the United States…but I can’t confirm that 100%. The 5000ES overseas version is mostly sold via eBay from what I can tell. Again, I am not 100% sure that all eBay sellers are selling the overseas version here in the US…or that there are not other Growatt dealers selling the overseas version as well.

And here is the biggest problem with this issue…from what I can see Growatt hasn’t done anything to correct the situation. It would be as simple as redesignating the US version as 5000US or 5000ES-US and put the correct label on the box with the corrected manual inside.

Be very, very careful with Growatt products…if they are this negligent with something this obvious and simple…then what other problems are there with their equipment? And if they are so worried about negative reviews that they have to bribe some reviewer…then who else do they bribe and what reviews of their equipment are legitimate?

For you…who are looking to purchase equipment…is it worth the risk to deal with equipment from Growatt when there are lots of companies out their that you don’t have to really worry about?

note: No company pays me to review, comment on, or discuss their products or the company itself.

AH Trimble Feedback and Comments

  • You have mentioned dealing with federal leo agencies which I don’t agree with. What exactly do you propose to do?

Well, first off…reality says that nothing will be, or can be, done to fix the agencies that I am referring to, which are; FBI, CIA, DHS, DNI, NSA, DEA, ATF, etc. Why? Because those agencies exist to serve and protect the US federal government and to maintain, and grow its power. Congress will never do anything substantive because they simply can’t. Those agencies are at the very core of the Deep State…the “strong arm” or “muscle” or “enforcer” for the federal government. Hence, Congress can do nothing…if any individual politician attempts to do the right thing in regards to these agencies…the agencies will crush them.

Just look a the Twitter scandal. Actually I am wrong…it is no scandal…it is akin to war crimes. Federal law enforcement agencies were directly involved with a conspiracy to overthrow the President of the United States. They did so through an active operation wherein they not just conspired with but actually operated with civilian technology corporations to influence a Presidential election. And that operation was successful…they overthrew a siting President of the United States. That is how corrupt our federal law enforcement agencies have become.

But that doesn’t answer your question, sorry.

First off I already explained, nothing will ever be done to those agencies I mentioned. It isn’t possible for a whole host of reasons.

Second, I am a nobody and I can’t do a thing to fix anything. But if I could offer a solution…I would simply say, return to the Constitution and the original intent of our Founding Fathers. They experienced firsthand tyranny and oppression at the hands of a brutal empire. And those same Founding Fathers knew how to prevent that tyranny and oppression from occurring in the new Constitutional Republic…it was called the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it allow for any federal law enforcement agency. Why do you think that is?

And remember that the Founding Fathers saw a “standing army” as a huge threat to people’s rights AND a road to tyranny. The nearly 1 million heavily armed, militarized, federal law enforcement officers represent the 7th largest army in the world…just slightly smaller than Russia’s entire army.

So my fix is simple…listen to and follow the Founding Fathers and the US Constitution.

Interestingly South Africa had a program that has merit. When Apartheid was finally stopped those guilty of crimes under that system were given the opportunity to confess their crimes and avoid prosecution for those crimes. Sounds like a workable program that would useful today here in the US as it applies to the federal law enforcement agencies.

TRAP: Solar – Bad Professional Connections

Last month I was contracted to do some work for a local solar company. Part of that work was to salvage parts from old solar installation equipemtn that had been removed. Residential customers had hired this solar company to repair or replace their existing solar systems. The equipment I was salvaging was the stuff that had been removed and replaced with new equipment.

Yes, inside the old equipment had perfectly good bits and pieces that could be used to repair other equipment or sold as “used” for discounted prices. And yes, I love to do salvage work…it is fun to rescue perfectly good equipment pieces vs seeing them put into a scrap pile.

So I was tearing this stuff apart and found this shunt; the shunt was perfectly fine from all appearances, but it would be tested later to ensure that all was fine. But it wasn’t the shunt that caught my attention…it was the negative wire attached to the bus bar that was attached to the shunt. Do you see a problem with the connection? Here, let me give you another view…

Even if you are not an electrician or a professional solar installer you can see the problem. It is a horrible connection. I would estimate that only about 75% of the diameter of the wire is actually in the bus bar hole and even then it is only hanging on at the very end. So only about 10% of the original wire is actually connected to the busbar.

And no, that didn’t happen when I was removing the shunt.

Now, I will say that the screw was tight enough and was holding the wire in place, but that isn’t the point. There are two points;

1) The wire was only hanging on by about the last 1/8th of an inch…the very tip of the wire. It should have been fully inserted the entire width of the bus bar.

2) Only about 75% of the diameter of the wire was actually in the bus bar hole. In this case the wire was 6AWG stranded wire. Based on 6AWG the wire should be able to carry 70amps of current, properly installed. Well, since only about 75% of the wire’s diameter was actually making contact, it was the equivalent of about 10AWG stranded wire. And that means it was only capable of carrying about 30amps of current…had the wire been fully inserted. And since it wasn’t properly/fully inserted who knows for sure how much current the wire was actually capable of safely carrying.

See the problem with that?

Bottom line…

  • If you are doing the work yourself…do high-quality professional work. Don’t get in a rush, do it right, be proud of your install.
  • If you are having a system installed, ask to see inside the “magic boxes” and look them over yourself. You can see if the connections and work looks right and professional. If the installer gets upset or won’t take the time to show you what they are doing…well, that is serious reason for concern! It is your money…you have the right to inspect it all.
  • If you are buying a house that has a solar system, have it inspected by a local quality solar system installation company or a licensed electrician that is familiar with solar. It will be worth the fee.

These kinds of situations occur all of the time…there is some very shoddy workmanship out there by unprofessional and/or ignorant folks. Don’t you do it and don’t tolerate it from others.

Why? Duh, you could find yourself at the losing end of a house fire.

  • Cops aren’t that bad. Why do you rip on them so much?

Really? That is a stupid statement and a dumb question. Yeah, I am being a bit too rude and crude and offensive. But feedback like this just gets to me sometimes.

First off…there are good cops, lazy cops, generic cops. So be it. My problem is with Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs). And there is a HUGE difference. Back in the good old days we had police officers whose motto was “to protect and serve” and that was fine with me, we need(ed) those folks. If a crime is committed, go catch the bad guys and get them introduced to the legal system. But somewhere around the 80’s or 90’s police transitioned to law enforcement officers and became fully militarized. But the transition began well before that.

Generally, nationwide, LEOs started their transition in the 1960’s. When the “war on drugs” began in the early 70’s you saw a huge morphing of police into militarized LEOs. 1981 saw the militarization become formalized when Congress passed the Military Cooperation with Law Enforcement Officials Act. And let’s not forget SWAT teams. Their origins go back to the socialist state of California in the 60’s. SWAT teams became commonplace paralleling the militarization of civilian police departments.

As this military approach to policing took place so did the “comply or die” mentality of LEOs; expected instant and complete compliance with any LEO order became the norm. If a civilian didn’t, they could expect to die…as unarmed civilian death statistics show.

But, let’s address your statement/question directly…

1) 12/22 – An Indiana deputy raped a woman after entering her vehicle during a stop and giving her 30-seconds to comply with his demands. She was raped multiple times, including being choked. The deputy was arrested and is awaiting trial.

2) 12/22 – In Colorado a 29-year old homeless veteran was beaten within an inch of his life by police officers. He was pulled over for an improperly displayed license plate. During the stop the officer claimed he smelled marijuana and wanted to perform a DUI test. The vet was ordered out of his vehicle, the vet asked “why?”…at that point the officer immediately grabbed him and began pulling him out of his car. Multiple officers then began punching and kicking the vet until he lost consciousness. All of this was caught on body cam footage. But the worst of it…the officers took turns having their pictures taken with the beaten bloody man, cop knuckles bleeding and officers smiling. The vet was awaiting an appointment with VA councilors for PTSD.

3) 11/22 – Five Georgia LEOs entered a cell where a man was being held in restraints. They beat and kicked him for 6 minutes, then dragged him out of his cell and continued to kick him. It was all caught on video. When the victim’s lawyer tried to bring a complaint, the event was covered up until a whistle-blower smuggled a copy of the video to the victim’s lawyer.

4) 7/22 – A 25-year old was nearly beaten to death after he ran inside his father’s home trying to hide from police. The police broke through the door, ran inside to the suspects bedroom, tased him, placed a foot on his head and beat him with steel batons until became consciousness, and continued to beat him for another 2 minutes, All caught on video and body cam. His crime, he ran a stop sign a couple blocks earlier and didn’t stop when police tried to pull him over. Why didn’t he stop? He was scared of what the officers would do to him.

5) 8/22 – Three Arkansas police and deputies nearly beat a man to death, repeatedly punching him in the head and slamming his head and face onto concrete. It was all caught on video. His crime…trespassing.

6) And then there is the man who was stopped because his cane looked like a gun to police officers. Yeah, the guy was blind and his cane was his white, red tipped walking cane. I can hardly even talk about that one.

I could go on and on and on but there is no need to. The point is simple…police deserve respect, once they earn it. And they do need to earn it because they are supposed to “serve and protect” the public…you know, the average guy on the street or driving a car.

LEOs should not exist. Police officers and peace officers should. When the police in this country earn the public’s respect, then they will receive it. Police need to solve crimes, bring criminals into the justice system, recover stolen property, arrest killers and rapists…the police should not be thugs and criminals themselves.

As I have said hundreds of times…put the bad cops in jail…honor, respect, and support the good officers.

New Solar Home Page !

I have created a new Solar Home Page to make it a bit easier for folks to find all things solar related.

There is general information, Tips & Traps, our Glamstead project information, and the solar book project that I spoke of a while back.

The new page is a work in progress since I am trying out a few new ideas for page formatting so I am sure it will change…just not sure how as of right now.

So go take a look you might find some interesting information there even if you are all that interested in solar power.

Tip/Trap: Solar – LiFePO4 Batteries

I am hearing considerable feedback regarding a particular problem with LiFePOWER4 batteries. The problem seems to occur in larger parallel strings of batteries, 3 or more. If the batteries aren’t brought up to 100% State of Charge (SOC) every 1 – 2 days then the BMS’s begin to have significant problems reporting the correct SOC. They have also been known to have the BMS shut down a battery when it is actually above the low voltage disconnect, due to the BMS incorrectly reporting the SOC.

The only “fix” appears to ensure that the batteries are fully charged every day or two (at the most).

One of the problems I am seeing in systems are large battery storage capability but not enough PVs (solar panels) to adequately charge them on low sun days (i.e. cloudy or short winter days).

As an additional note, I looked at LiFePOWER4 batteries when I was assessing different batteries to explain my current storage capability. I was not impressed with the LiFePOWER4 batteries for a number of reasons, price being one of them, but mostly build quality and performance issues as well.
