Welcome back Street Survivors.

As this is our final article of 2025, we will wrap up the year with prayers and best wishes for our readers and their families with hope that 2026 will bring more safety, security, and better health.

This past year has been a blur of activity across the nation, and much of it was not positive as we dealt with various threats and attacks on our homeland, including loss of life most notably the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

During the years of 2021-2024 our national borders existed in name only, and new inventive ways to subvert our border were invented by our own government to usher in millions of invaders from many countries that hate America, under the guise of compassion. Many of my articles during that time warned of the obvious result of vastly increased crime, terrorism and overloaded hospitals and government agencies. Illegal truckers crisscrossing our nation without even being able to read or speak English, while driving missiles on wheels and creating chaos on our highways. 

Recently we have learned that the Central Intelligence Agency organized the relocation of thousands of Afghan fighters and their families to say thanks for their assistance in the war. There is a major difference in vetting a candidate to fight in their own country against a common enemy, compared to vetting the background and motives of a candidate to come to America, assimilate to our way of life and love the country as we do. The mechanisms to vet a person under that criteria simply do not exist in these third world countries, and it seems that even basic medical evaluations weren’t completed in the rush to fill the voter roles of the Democratic/Progressive party. How did this epiphany regarding the actions of the CIA become common knowledge? One of their transplants took a road trip from Washington state to Washington, DC to attack two of our National Guard members in broad daylight while on patrol, killing 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and severely injuring 24-year-old Staff Sargeant Andrew Wolfe. Our country continues to pay the price of this intentional deterioration of our society from within, and we have never needed to be more prepared on an individual level than we do right now.

Once these invaders get organized with assistance from non-governmental agencies, corrupt politicians and community organizers, as well as actors in the Deep State, they learn how to steal funds from American taxpayers and use those funds for nefarious actions, including returning millions to terrorist groups like El Shabaab in Somalia. We are currently investigating over a billion dollars of stolen funds in Minnesota alone! The perfect storm of corruption and pure hate for America is on full display!

Not all of the news this year has been disturbing though, as we see the creation of Internet Safety Bills being drawn up to help our children be safer in that environment, improvements in the economy, reduction in government waste and taxes on the middle class of the nation. Innovative new programs for our veterans are coming online, and the safety of our food supply is front and center with great new advancements focused on improving the health of our nation. Our military recruiting numbers are exploding after suffering major declines in recent years. Military barracks are being redesigned and renovated after many years of disrepair, and our weapons systems are being improved and modernized to better handle future threats.

Many wars across the world have been resolved with peace agreements, thanks to the intensive efforts of the Trump administration. Fuel prices are dropping, inflation is coming down and the big, beautiful bill kicks in next year which will have a direct positive impact on middle-income families. The flow of deadly drugs into our country has been drastically reduced, which takes that poison off our streets and helps to protect generations of our children. 

Just today, 19 countries have been travel banned from entering the United States due to their outspoken threats and hatred for America. The usual suspects include: Iran, Libya, Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Somalia, Yemen, Laos, Afghanistan, Burma and multiple other African countries. This list could expand to as many as 30 countries in the next few days.

The question I would ask each Street Survivor: will this be the year you get serious about learning how to defend yourself and your family, or hone the skills you already have? What else must happen in your life to motivate you to take on this critical task? Don’t use the excuse that it won’t happen to you, it will always happen to someone else. Sticking your head in the sand is not a strategy that works. Your enemy is out there training; you can take that to the bank!

Rick ‘Pirate Hunter’ Grover strongly believes we are all in this together, and the more we learn and train, the better we will be prepared for any eventuality. This makes all of us part of an amazing neighborhood team of American Patriots. 

God Bless America!
