Damn! My conservative bent is screaming, "What? You want the government "prepare" you? Can't you people do anything for yourselves?" !
The I sit back and chuckling under my breath, "The government is preparing for you, all right. Time's coming soon enough - just a few more months and all will be disordered and then our well-prepared security forces will bring all back an wholly unholy new order."
Preparing us? I guarantee you, we all will be horrifically surprised.
Let's face it, we've announced our intent on carrying out preemptive nuclear strikes and I think most here accept that Trump is every bit as crazy as Kim Jong-un. Trump holding the powers of such high office makes other leaders suspect he might preemptively take such a unilateral action against anywhere he chooses. He is making our nuclear powers very nervous and another nation might decide, hell, if the USA is willing to take such a unilateral preemptive action, maybe we should as well.

Lawsuits allege Donald Trump's transition team sought the names of civil servants and contractors who worked on climate change programmes and the Affordable Healthcare Act or expressed views on abortion rights AP
Donald Trump's administration is being sued over the alleged intimidation of civil servants by a group of senior lawyers who helped the Obama administration develop and adhere to a code of ethics.
United to Protect Democracy, named after a line from Barack Obama's farewell address, is taking the Department of Energy and the Department of Health and Human Services to court for records concerning the allegations, NPR reports.
Ben Berwick, one of the group's lawyers, wrote in a blog that the non-profit's goal is "protecting the civil service from purges, intimidation or politicisation."
Donald Trump slams 'archaic' US constitution that is 'really bad' for the country
The action comes after the group filed Freedom of Information Act requests for the documents.
By law, an FOIA applicant can sue if an agency fails to act promptly, which the group alleges has happened.
The suit filed about the Department of Energy seeks documents concerning an alleged attempt by Mr Trump's transition team to get the names of civil servants and contractors who worked on climate change programmes.
The case concerning the Department of Health and Human Services requests similar documents allegedly targeting employees who worked for the Affordable Care Act or expressed views on abortion rights.
Neither of the agencies have commented on the lawsuits.
The group intends to explore issues which have not yet been exposed by the media, such as the possibility White House staff members may have intervened in and intimidated regulatory agencies

Attention viewers at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: Televisions will now be tuned to Fox News.
CBS News has confirmed an email was sent to researchers at the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research responding to apparent efforts to change the channel on internal television screens. The email from "[White Oak] Digital Display" sent on Wednesday, May 3, was sent to inform the researchers of the "reason for the change from CNN to Fox." White Oak is the name of the FDA's campus.
The email goes on to inform employees that the decision came from the Trump administration.
