Inception: Artist Paints Popular Pesto The Penguin Eating A Plate Of Pesto Pasta

Pesto the penguin has just achieved a new level of fame! This beloved baby animal has been immortalized on canvas by artist Emily Dunlap. However, as the woman revealed on social media, her painting contains a hilarious twist. She decided to depict Pesto the penguin actually eating a plate of pasta with pesto sauce. Try saying that ten times fast! In a mesmerizing time-lapse video, Emily shared the creative process behind her artwork. Her finished product was too adorable! This painting showed Pesto the baby penguin enjoying a luxurious dining experience at a waterfront table. Before him was a massive pile of pesto pasta, which he was in the middle of slurping up through his beak. @emilydunlap.art pesto for Pesto prints of this painting will be available in my next print drop! sign up to my mailing list (link in bio) to receive updates as well as exclusive early access to print drops painted in oils – – #pesto #oilpainting #art #pestopenguin #penguin #painting #colorfulart #animalart #italy #italianfood #pestopasta #pizza #happyart #artistsonintiktok #babyanimals #foodart #lakecomo ♬ Santa Lucia – Jack Jezzro If you’re not already familiar with Pesto the penguin, this baby animal became famous on the internet for his unusual size. At six months old, this big boy already weighed an impressive 20 kilos (over 40 pounds). In footage taken at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium, the bird’s home, it was clear that he’d already surpassed even the adults in height. Apparently, he’s the largest baby penguin this zoo has ever seen! We love to see fanart of famous baby animals. Emily Dunlap isn’t the first person to create an artistic tribute to this viral bird. One baker actually recreated the animal’s familiar appearance in cake form. Still, Emily’s portrait of Pesto the baby penguin eating his namesake is pretty creative. She truly has a knack for painting adorable animals! If you scroll through her social media pages, you’ll find tons of other cute critters enjoying tasty snacks in whimsical, vibrant colors. In one of her paintings, she even pictured Moo Deng, the celebrity baby hippo, in a pink bassinet surrounded by butterflies!

The SHTF in Western NC. The Govt. Is Making Everything Worse.

There are scenarios we all try to prepare for, like long-term power outages, terrible storms, or other disastrous events. But as Western North Carolina demonstrates, there are some things so wildly unexpected that you just can’t prep for them. The SHTF in Western NC almost two months ago, and people are still in survival mode. For those saying, “Well, the government will help them; that’s what we pay taxes for.” No, they won’t. In fact, they’re making a terrible situation even worse. It’s so bad that one has to wonder, is this mere incompetence, or is there something darker at play? Let’s take a closer look at this SHTF playing out in our own nation, one that most of the country is completely unaware of. The information in this article is based on first-person accounts from the people who live there. Not every person in Western North Carolina is having the same experience. These are stories from the hardest-hit areas. These things aren’t all being reported in the MSM, and in fact, some are reporting the opposite. After the outrageous propaganda voiced there during the election, I know who I find more credible. What happened? This isn’t my first article on the topic. I went into detail here and here, including video documentaries. Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee are part of the Appalachian Mountains. The elevation on many of the mountains is more than 6000 feet. If you live all the way up there, far from the rivers that run through the valleys of that area, flood damage would be pretty unexpected. It’s 350 miles or more from the coast, so a hurricane is also completely unexpected. Historically, Western NC has gotten some wind and rain when there are hurricanes nearby, some trees have been knocked down, and a bit of damage was done, but nothing like Helene has ever happened in these mountains. Hurricane Helene was a full-on catastrophic disaster. There was flooding everywhere, even up in the mountains. The rivers running through the area flooded quickly. Entire forests full of trees came down, and landslides devastated the mountains. Entire homes were completely washed away, with residents inside them. Other homes were filled with thick, toxic mud and sludge. Cars disappeared into the river, found in ruins, miles away from where they had been parked. An almost unfathomable 1400 landslides wreaked havoc on the Appalachians in Western NC and Eastern TN. Here are the stats: The storm and its aftermath caused 1,400 landslides and damaged over 160 water and sewer systems, at least 6,000 miles (9,650 kilometers) of roads, more than 1,000 bridges and culverts and an estimated 126,000 homes, the budget office said. Some 220,000 households are expected to apply for federal assistance. Many of those homes are completely uninhabitable right now. People are living in near-apocalyptic conditions, and no amount of physical preps could have helped them. When your entire house is washed away or filled with sludge, most, if not all, of your preps will be ruined. Let me be extremely clear. People in Appalachia are made of different stuff. They are resilient and resourceful and a large number of them are preppers. But the scale of this disaster, an estimated $53 billion dollars worth of damage, is not something you can prep for. It’s the luck of the draw whether one of those 1400 landslides hits your house or the one next door. Homes that were not victim to landslides had other problems, like wind damage and falling trees. Very few people were unscathed. Many, many roads were so damaged or covered in debris that they were completely impassible. So, even if you still had a car, you weren’t going anywhere. The “immediate” government response The response to this by both the federal and state governments has been laughably bad – at least if you have a dark sense of humor. For all the politicians expounding on what they’re going to do, very little has actually happened that is of help. Helene landed in the mountains on the evening of September 26th. FEMA said that they had people there before Helene made landfall. Perhaps they did, but survivors said that there was no sign of them until an entire week after the storm. They did not go door to door, and search and rescue arrived a few days after that. One thousand active duty soldiers were also sent to help with recovery efforts, and they were deployed on October 2, also a week after the storm. Let’s be honest. After 7 days trapped in the mud or water, this was not search and rescue. This was search and recovery. Even worse, FEMA has spoken out against people who are there, living through this disaster, sharing information, calling it disinformation. 11/20/24 update from Jason Ward on Tik Tok. So FEMA is saying that they have helped everyone in WNC and anything contrary to the FEMA narrative is mis-information. pic.twitter.com/PLQS41WnLF — Dennis (@clovis1931) November 21, 2024 And despite video evidence, many folks have chosen to believe the government and not their fellow citizens. The real heroes The real heroes and early responders, like in any SHTF scenario, were the neighbors and the locals. There are dozens of stories about neighbors frantically digging people out of the mud or pulling them from the river. Volunteers arrived quickly, within a day or two, and began to help, using personal helicopters and small planes to find stranded people. They delivered medications, EpiPens for all reactions to the hornets that were stirred up, generators, fuel, food, and water. Mule teams from around the country soon were brought to join the effort. These volunteers and neighbors worked tirelessly to help Appalachia days before “official” help arrived. If not for them, the death toll would have been far worse. These folks spent their own money to provide assistance, help that rightly should have been provided by our tax dollars. The Amish deployed men to come and quickly build beautiful tiny houses to get roofs over peoples’ heads before the snow began to fly. Some volunteers are still there, doing everything they can to assist. Though it has mostly disappeared from the national news cycle, this disaster is far from over. Emergency RVs has managed to donate 30 RVs to families in need. In the first days after the disaster, Elon Musk rapidly deployed StarLink equipment and made communications available for free. First responders used the technology and it was also distributed to homes throughout the region. Conditions now Almost two months after the storm, it still looks like a bomb went off. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then video is worth a million. If you go to Western North Carolina, in the small towns, it looks positively apocalyptic. Here’s a video taken by someone local I’ve been following during this event. She is a film director by trade, which is why it looks and sounds so professional. TODAY IN TENT CITY Swannanoa, North Carolina Do you see FEMA? Countless families in North Carolina have been left without safe shelter.

Keep sharing these videos. Today, a FEMA administrator testified to a committee in Congress. “They have helped over 35,000 families”.

Many of those remains have not yet been recovered. Human remains are being found and civilians have no way to identify them. Western North Carolina needs help!

You can’t burn it because there could still be remains in there. The official death toll number for Appalachia is 93. Locals say that it is not even close. Bodies are being found every day in Western North Carolina. They are piling bodies into warehouses. pic.twitter.com/I6byhoTwU3 — Molly (@LoveMyMJ69) November 18, 2024 The person with this Rumble channel has been shooting video every single day to document the ongoing crisis. If it weren’t for Elon Musk buying Twitter, and turning it into X, nobody would know about any of this. Even with all this video evidence it’s still being called “fake news.” In many cases, the videos are being removed from TikTok. How the government is actively making things worse In 1986, Ronald Reagan famously said, The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” The folks in Appalachia are learning just how true that is. Here is a video from a local about how FEMA is responding to the disaster. More information coming out of western North Carolina. FEMA needs to be investigated #helene2024 #WNC#NorthCarolina #FEMA pic.twitter.com/w9nhbT6jU3 — Based Drama (@TanyaBeard10264) November 18, 2024 But it gets even worse. FEMA has a huge number of RVs that could be distributed, and they’re not doing it. In two months, only 4 RVs have been given to families for shelter. Look how many are sitting there, empty and unused while citizens sleep on the ground in tents. The non-profit, @EmergencyRv reports that they “begged” for RVs sitting in government storage for a 103 year old World War 2 veteran who was a victim of Helene. They were denied. Instead, a fellow veteran stepped up and donated his. pic.twitter.com/XQVSDo4YVW — Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) November 20, 2024 Meanwhile FEMA is boasting about the trailers nobody is getting. #BREAKING: Officials at FEMA have just posted a new video touring brand housing units they say are available to #WNC. What they fail to mention in the video is that in the 2 months since in the hurricane… only FOUR UNITS have been delivered. You read that right. Four. pic.twitter.com/9X5HXllmqA — Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) November 20, 2024 A FEMA whistleblower has said that the organization has “no timeline” for doling out the trailers. Are you wondering why? Shawn Hendrix, who has been on the ground since Day 1 working tirelessly to help, explains. Here is the simple reason FEMA is not placing the houses. Theses houses can’t be placed in flood plains, hmm where were most of the houses located…. I am going to rebuild a house in the tent city blue area to see if the county will block me or not. We will find out soon! pic.twitter.com/Cx5SqrS8rL — Shawn Hendrix (@TheShawnHendrix) November 21, 2024 And just in case you think the housing situation couldn’t get any worse, there are one hundred donated tiny houses sitting empty because they “aren’t up to code,” according to authorities. They are literally making people move out of them and go back to living in tents in freezing cold weather. UNBELIEVABLE North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims had someone come in and build 100 tiny homes as a donation Victims “were living in them, and the county comes in and says they won’t pass inspection.” AND KICKS THEM OUT “So we got 75 of them sitting down there that won’t… pic.twitter.com/LAE27roXKT — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) November 21, 2024 If this is an example of our tax dollars at work, I want a refund. This is living proof that FEMA could be disbanded, and hardly anyone but illegal immigrants would be inconvenienced. However much you may have despised our government and its bureaucracy in the past, you didn’t hate it enough. Children are being removed from their families. And just when you think things can’t possibly get any worse, the Department of Social Services stepped in, removing children from their families because of their living conditions. Some folks are dismissive and say this isn’t really happening, but it is, and the kids are being separated and sent to foster care hours away. Their parents may not have vehicles after the disaster, so they can’t even go visit them. Here are two videos regarding this. The stories about “DHS taking kids away from parents” you’ve been hearing from people in #WNC are NOT a conspiracy theories. Here’s how it works: a) Your 3-generation family home sits on 52 acres deep in the Appalachian mountains, it’s not much but it’s always been home. b)… pic.twitter.com/EyCy5EM0E1 — Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) November 20, 2024 And here is an example of this happening. It’s incredibly disturbing. Here’s the proof that officers have suggested they are calling DSS to take away a woman’s children in Bat Cave North Carolina after she lost everything from Helene. This shows the footage of her destroyed home and the interaction she had with the officer. pic.twitter.com/WT2UTFyzU1 — Frank Fighting For Freedom (@thinktankfranks) November 16, 2024 More details on the case are here. More CONFIRMED cases of Western North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims HAVING THEIR KIDS TAKEN AWAY “I was just with a woman that they took her 3 children, and one of them is autistic. I said, where are they gonna put them? So they’re gonna separate them, put them in foster… pic.twitter.com/KiGUqSmuSP — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) November 18, 2024 And there’s this one, in which the mother may lose her son permanently if she can’t go visit him hours away, with no car. I guess it’s just not enough that people have lost so much if not everything. DPS showed up at her home and removed her son. He has been placed into a foster home 2 hours away from her. This entire story is so very disturbing and sad. Y’all do know what happens to children in… pic.twitter.com/R1ekl13V2o — Lisa (@Lisahudsonchow7) November 16, 2024 I’m personally convinced that this is a land grab, but this article is already quite long. I’ll cover that tomorrow. Right now, it’s the human element of this SHTF disaster. How you can help There are many different ways to help. Here are some of the people on the ground I’ve been following on X. Emergency RV, as mentioned, has gotten 30 donated trailers to families with no homes. If you have one that you’d like to donate, you can contact them and they’ll even arrange for someone to drive it to its destination. For information, you can follow Matt Van Swol and his wife, Erin Derham. They are posting daily from Asheville the things going on in the community. They’re extremely careful about checking their information. Margo from NC has been posting first-hand information since the disaster began. Shawn Hendrix, as I mentioned before, has worked tirelessly to help the community. He has brought a lot of attention to the situation and pulled off some miracles. If you want to make a monetary donation that you can be confident will be put to good use, here are some links for doing so. I trust Shawn implicitly as he has regularly shown the results of the money he has received. If you have some donations you would like to mail in, I have an address. They are not taking most clothing right now, but are looking for outerwear for children and adults, blankets, sleeping bags, and camping gear. Crestview Baptist Church 3258 Pisgah Dr. Canton NC 28716 You can also order supplies from Amazon and have it sent there. Here are a few recommendations. These winter sleeping bags are on sale for only $20. Feminine hygiene supplies like pads and tampons are needed. Things to keep hands and feet warm would be extremely welcome. No-rinse body wipes would be helpful for hygiene. Propane heaters that can safely be used indoors could potentially save someone’s life. My recommendations are the Little Buddy and the Mr. Heater. If you are feeling extra generous, this hose assembly allows the heaters to be connected to bigger, barbecue sized propane tanks. Winter gear such as gloves, coats, heavy socks, and hats are also welcome. Manpower would also be appreciated if you can. Contact Shawn Hendrix, above, to get more information. Please share these stories far and wide. Don’t let Appalachia be forgotten. I’m appalled that our FEMA tax dollars are housing illegal immigrants in fancy hotels and giving them thousands of dollars to get settled, while our own people are living in third world conditions. Insurance won’t pay for flood damage and only 5% of the people there have flood insurance. Most of these homes were well above the previous flood plain, and in areas not necessarily covered by the National Flood Insurance Program. This wasn’t negligence on their parts. There’s nobody to help but us. What are your thoughts? I have more information coming tomorrow about the red tape keeping people homeless. Did you know the situation was still so bad in Western NC? Have you ever visited this part of Appalachia? What do you think of the governmental response? Let’s discuss it in the comments section. The post The SHTF in Western NC. The Govt. Is Making Everything Worse. appeared first on The Organic Prepper.

10 Examples of Defensive Gun Use Show It’s Time to End War on Lawful Gun Owners

Major gun control groups are already lamenting the outcome of the Nov. 5 election, decrying the results as detrimental to public safety. In reality, though, President Joe Biden’s yearslong war on law-abiding gun owners repeatedly and wrongfully placed them at the center of the federal government’s target. But ordinary lawful owners of firearms never have been the driving force behind violent crime. Not only that, but they regularly rely on their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their loved ones from violent criminals when the government can’t or won’t be there to ensure their safety. Almost every major study has found that Americans use their firearms in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times annually, according to the most recent report on the subject by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2021, the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the issue concluded that roughly 1.6 million defensive gun uses occur in the United States every year. For this reason, The Daily Signal publishes a monthly article highlighting some of the previous month’s many news stories on defensive gun use that you may have missed—or that might not have made it to the national spotlight in the first place. (Read accounts from past months and years here.) The examples below represent only a small portion of the news stories on defensive gun use during crimes that we found in October. You may explore more by using The Heritage Foundation’s interactive Defensive Gun Use Database.  Oct. 1, Seattle: A woman came out the front door of her residence and pointed a shotgun at two process servers, police said. One of them, drawing his own gun, shot and killed the woman. Oct. 7, Hubert, North Carolina: Police said a woman fatally shot her ex-boyfriend after he showed up at her home in violation of a protection order and climbed through a window. Local officials said the man had a lengthy history of domestic violence and was wearing a court-ordered ankle monitor after having violated protection orders at least twice before. He allegedly called the woman 26 times and sent her dozens of text messages in the hours before the deadly encounter. Oct. 10, Sioux Falls, South Dakota: Several people wielding baseball bats confronted a group of motorcyclists at a gas station, mistakenly believing that they had jumped a friend earlier that night. After ducking to avoid a blow from a bat, one motorcyclist drew a gun and fatally shot two of the assailants. He also shot and wounded a woman who pointed a gun at him. Police confirmed that the motorcyclists weren’t involved in the original assault, calling it a case of mistaken identity.   Oct. 11, Cut Bank, Montana: Two juveniles broke into a car and stole a handgun before a resident confronted them, police said. One juvenile shot the resident in the leg with the handgun before another resident arrived and, armed with his own firearm, held the shooter at gunpoint until police arrived. Both juveniles were taken into custody; the wounded resident was expected to recover. Oct. 12, Poplar Bluff, Missouri: A woman shot and wounded a man as he illegally entered her home through her bedroom window early in the morning, police said. The suspect—who police said was caught on camera in 2022 trying to enter other homes—faced unspecified charges. Oct. 16, Columbus, Ohio: When a newsstand employee caught a man trying to steal an item from a cooler, police said, the would-be thief drew a handgun and pointed it at him. The employee called for his nearby brother, who drew his own gun and shot and wounded the thief. He was charged with felony aggravated robbery. Oct. 20, Upper Darby, Pennsylvania: After being kicked out of his girlfriend’s house during a dispute earlier in the day, a man returned, pinned her to the floor, and held a knife to her throat in front of her children. One of the children, a teenager, grabbed a firearm and fatally shot the man, police said. Oct. 25, Chicago: When a bystander tried to intervene in a quarrel between a man and a woman on a public sidewalk, the man pointed a gun at him. The bystander—a concealed carry permit holder—drew his own gun and fatally shot his assailant. The incident occurred a day after two other Chicago gun owners successfully defended themselves against violent criminals. Oct. 29, Stratford, Connecticut: Police said an armed resident confronted two would-be car thieves who he discovered breaking into his car, exchanging gunfire with them until they fled. The resident wasn’t hurt. Oct. 31, New Iberia, Louisiana:  A man broke into two residences and stabbed two victims—one in each home—before an armed resident in the second home shot and wounded him, police said. All three were taken to a hospital for treatment; the suspect was charged with attempted first-degree murder.  All of these lawful gun owners highlight just how important the right to keep and bear arms is to ordinary Americans. Ending the Biden-Harris administration’s war on the Second Amendment won’t threaten public safety, as so many gun control activists claim. It only will threaten the safety of violent criminals, from whom lawful gun owners want to defend themselves.

Eminent Domain: How It Is Affecting And Afflicting Homesteaders

Eminent Domain: How It Is Affecting And Afflicting Homesteaders

Eminent domain is and has been affecting and afflicting farmers and homesteaders throughout the United States for some time now. What exactly is Eminent Domain? The definition is as follows: The right of a Government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation. Eminent Domain: Affecting And Afflicting Homesteaders For the longest time, eminent domain was used when the city or state was going to build a new road or expand the highway. This allowed the government and the associates affiliated with the job the access and entitlement to access other people’s property in order to do the job or task at hand. In a majority of issues from the past, the use of eminent domain was strictly to be used when a majority of the people in the area AGREE to allow the access to their property with only a few citizens refusing. Things have since changed in a big way. | More and more For-profit companies and agencies are gaining access to the use of eminent domain. For-profit corporations such as fracking, mining, and oil companies. Some of them are being allowed access to this Governmental power in order to take the land or access it from their owners regardless of any objection. Of course, they will send out checks as compensation to the owners but it is a power play. They gain the access to the property whether or not the check is cashed. The use of eminent domain has many farmers, homesteaders, and survivalists on the edge of their seat. It is being used for almost everything now, building highways, gas and oil pipelines, fracking set-ups, strip malls, you name it they are using it. In cases of the pipelines and fracking stations, there is a major risk of the farmland becoming contaminated with chemicals or an oil leak. The Effects & Afflictions 18,000 gallons of crude oil spilled onto an Oklahoma farmers land. Kingfisher County resident Steve Pope a cattle rancher and his family are devastated by this accident. That is almost 120 acres of good land that is now ruined. Luckily for Pope, there were no cattle on that part of the land yet and now there’s no telling how long it will be before it is safe to let them roam that area. Steve Pope also grows crops of wheat on his land as well. There is a creek not far from the land that he and his wife are concerned may be contaminated when the rain washes the oil down. Back in 2013, a farmer in North Dakota had to report an oil spill on his wheat farm. Somewhere around 20,000 barrels of Bakken oil flooded his farm fields. He will not be able to farm anything on that land for a few years to come and even then he will have to get the soil tested and be cautious. If you take the time to look into it, you will find many more cases such as these. Homesteaders, Farmers, and survivalist are left in the muck while big oil and fracking just keep raking in big bucks. Rhett Creative shows an illustration on what is eminent domain: Survivalist should be concerned, furthermore, we should all be looking into ways to safeguard ourselves and our land. Without clean air, land, and water all of life will suffer. Eminent domain was once used with good intentions to better communities in mind. Unfortunately, it has become nothing more than a gateway of greed. Protect your air, protect your water, protect your land, and defend your rights. Without a healthy Earth, no one will survive if TSHTF. Know your rights! Did you find this list helpful and interesting? Let us know in the comments below.
