BAM BAM Bam, Bam BAM BAM bam came the knock last night at 11:30. No one ever comes to my home after 11, so I promptly grabbed my .40 and headed toward the door, shouting “Who is it”?

One, two, three seconds – no answer. I switched on the porch light and swung the door open at the ready to see two Rutherford County Sheriff Deputies shining their flashlights in my face.

Turns out they were answering a 911 call that pinged at my address, even tho’ there was no emergency at my home and my phone was resting on the coffee table where it had been all afternoon and evening. I explained there wasn’t any emergency and I had placed no such call, as I retrieved my phone to verify the fact for them.

I’m so low-tech that I don’t know exactly what could cause this, and the deputies didn’t know either.

If someone had made a 911 call while standing in my yard, shouldn’t it have shown a name too? I don’t know. It wasn’t a swatting according to the deputies, just a ping and no answer when the dispatcher tried to call back.

This is one of those things that makes me go “HHhMmmmmm.”

Maybe it was just a ruse and some sort of “training” for a new deputy. Maybe they wanted an excuse to find out more about me, since I am very politically active, often making controversial and inflammatory and truthful statements online – an initial contact point before the Big Boys do a follow up.

Maybe I’ve watched one too many episodes of ‘Black List’ – HahaHahahahahaha …..

But in all earnest, I do believe I’ll receive a knock on the door from the Feds sometime in the not-too-distant future for some trumped(?) up reason, no pun intended.

Freedom and individual liberty – the right to be secure in one’s own home – has never been more endangered than it is right now across the span of American history. Time will tell if the American people are truly up to the challenges that face them, in order that they might save and secure both, along with this America we love so well.

In the meantime, I’m over here down in the Middle Tennesse Basin area stockin’ up on ammo and fillin’ sandbags…..

Hi-de-Hee – Hi-de-Ho!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
