Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland said during a Friday C-SPAN event that people could be killed because of the Electoral College.
Raskin has sought to eliminate the Electoral College, suggesting that a National Popular Vote Interstate Compact be used to bypass the institution established by the Constitution. Raskin cited the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol building as a reason to make the change.
“We passed the nation’s first National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. We initiated that. We’re now more than two-thirds of the way there,” Raskin said. “Because it’s 2024, how about it’s time we start electing the president the way we elect mayors and representatives and senators and governors — whoever gets the most votes wins, right, rather than a convoluted, antique, obsolete system from the 18th century, which these days can get you killed as nearly it did on January the 6th, 2021. I mean, we were meeting there just because of the formalities of the 12th Amendment, which say that you’ve got to have a joint session to count the Electoral College votes sent in by the governors under the certificates of ascertainment.”
“But we knew who had won the election. Everybody knew who had won the election. But we’re still going through these 18th century rituals and that’s what gave Donald Trump the opportunity to convoke the mob, come here, we’ll be wild and then tell them to go and fight and fight like hell, or they wouldn’t have a country anymore,” Raskin continued. “We’ve had five popular vote losers in American history become president, twice in this century alone, in 2000 and 2016. And I think the vast majority of American people think we should be electing the president just by having an election and seeing who gets the most votes rather than this convoluted, rickety system where it all comes down to a handful of states, six or seven states, instead of everybody’s vote counting equally everywhere in the country.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
