During our Brownell’s Bullet Points, we pose the question, are you an ant or a grasshopper? Winter is coming for America. What can you and should you be doing to prepare yourself and your family for the upcoming winter? Once more, Professor Paul will read you a piece of classic literature.

In some positive news, a doctor in Texas has discovered what may be a Silver Bullet for CV. It’s simple, relatively cheap, and has been found to cure every patient he has tested it on, including a woman going through chemotherapy.

We have a Go Team moment to examine during our SOTG Homeroom from Crossbreed Holsters. There are several lessons we can take from a recent home invasion in Pasco County, FL. Finally, is there a reliable cure for the Kung Flu? We will hear from one doctor in Texas that says “yes” there is a cure.

Silver Bullet for COVID-19? https://youtu.be/eDSDdwN2Xcg

From fablesofaesop.com:

One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat.

“What!” cried the Ants in surprise, “haven’t you stored anything away for the winter? What in the world were you doing all last summer?”
