We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
A topic the Jeff.pro channel has addressed from time to time is the world of Amateur (Ham) Radio.
This is a great area of electronics to be interested in.
It often doesn’t get attention these days until there’s another natural disaster but the recent storms again remind us how important and effective Ham Radio can be.
If you have your Ham Radio license, you can communicate with other “Hams” (licensed radio operators) all over your state, the country or the world on special frequencies reserved for citizen communication. You can even learn how to use satellite communications with your radios. This is all seperate from cellular networks, meaning, even if cell service and power goes out, your radio comms will still work fine. In fact that’s exactly what Ham operators often practice for.
It’s a great hobby and a great American pastime, too.
Here’s a link to the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) website, which is kind of the “headquarters” for ham radio info. Learn how to study and get your Ham Radio license. You will be glad you did!
Zohran Mamdani’s intern Arzoo Malik is calling for a Holy War through Jihad and martyrdom:
“This is all jihad, this is all ibada, and this is all counted for by Allah. How committed am I to this? What am I willing to sacrifice for this noble cause?”

🇫🇷🇮🇷❌🇺🇸❗️ — The US thought it could quickly contain Iran with air superiority, but the war has proven longer and more complex, exposing the vulnerability of American bases and ships to missile and drone attacks, while the mounting costs and deployment needs are putting heavy pressure on the Army, according to French weekly Courrier International.
➡️ The analysis concludes that the conflict has shown the US can no longer manage a major Middle East war without heavy consequences, as it once did.
