This effort is to fund the establishment of a Mobile Kitchen facility. We already have the Surplus US Army Kitchen trailer shown on this site but we need more equipment and gear to get this effort off the ground. The intent is to have a unit that will be able to move from location to location and provide cooking in support of 300 to 500 people. This unit will attend festivals, political, and private events and help raise money for multiple efforts through the sales of food.
We are looking to procure additional equipment that we need to meet health and safety regulations and provide the ability to move the trailer from location to location.

I am helping with this project,as is another guy who has 35 years experience running the kitchens in some of the best hotels in the country,as the executive chef,combined with the 20 plus years I spent running hotel and private country club kitchens as executive chef,that’s 50 years plus of following all the proper procedures for sanitation,prep,cooking,holding,and serving food to large groups of people.
This is a worthwhile project,by a serious Patriot.The MKT will be up and running soon,but he needs some more equipment to be able to utilize the MKT to it’s full potential.
Donations of restaurant grade pots,pans,serving utensils,cooking utensils,full and half sheet pans,full and half hotel pans-(steam table pans)- 2″ and 4″ will help also.
Please consider a donation to this project,even a small donation will help-as small donations add up quickly.

It’s a product that seems unassuming enough: a thick, beige, bland liquid reminiscent of pancake batter. But, in fact, the aspirations of Soylent — a product billed as a complete meal replacement — befit its birthplace, the Bay Area of San Francisco, home to countless tech startups founded to conquer the world.

But don’t expect the stuff to win over many nutritionists any time soon.

“I’m all about enjoyment and fun, and drinking sludge just doesn’t fit in,” said Keith Ayoob, EdD, RD, at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, in an email. “We have teeth, people. Let’s use them and not drink all of our nutrition.”

Ayoob was one of several nutritionists who spoke with MedPage Today about Soylent and what it means for human health. They expressed bafflement that people would want to go without normal food and reiterated that nutritional science is limited by many unknowns.

Created by engineer and entrepreneur Rob Rhinehart, Soylent started shipping earlier this year after a period of experimentation with help from a committed do-it-yourself group of followers. So as to dispel any doubt about the intent of Soylent, visitors to the company’s website are greeted with the words “What if you never had to worry about food again?”

Its name comes from a 1973 sci-fi film starring Charlton Heston, Soylent Green, in which humanity subsists on artificial food pills that (spoiler alert) turn out to be made from human flesh — if nothing else, suggesting that Rhinehart is no ordinary marketer.

Rhinehart says the Soylent formula (which, for the record, includes no human flesh) fulfills all human nutritional requirements, such that a person can live on it exclusively. Though some do — Rhinehart himself ate nothing but Soylent for 5 months — many use it as a supplement along with some normal food. And the DIY ethos still prevails — there are more than 2,500 recipes posted by users to make similar products.

This was written back in April-it’s still very relevant-be sure to read the whole thing.

That photo is me about ten years ago, standing in the ruins of a land where people rejected the rule of law in favor of the rule of force. I think a lot about my year-long deployment to Kosovo these days. I think a lot about people today who, for short term political points, cavalierly disregard the rules, laws and norms that made America what it is. I think a lot about how liberals, especially those who boo God, should pray to Him that those rules, laws and norms are restored.

I am most certainly not smiling – I am squinting in the winter sun, having doffed my ever-present Ray-Bans. Behind me is – well, was – a village along the Ibar River in northern Kosovo. In the 1990s, it was full of Serbs and gypsies (The new, politically correct term is “Roma”). Back then, after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Kosovo was a province of Serbia. Without rehashing the centuries of ancient animosities and grievances, the Orthodox Serbs found themselves unrestrained by the political consensus that Josip Tito had enforced and began an escalating series of petty and not-so-petty oppressions against the Kosovar Albanians. The “K-Albs” are about 10% Christian but mostly moderate Muslims (we called them “party Muslims,” and our troops used to love to go on patrol through K-Alb towns during the spring when the gorgeous Albanian women were in full effect). They were a minority in Serbia as a whole, but a majority in the province of Kosovo.

Now, there’s no understanding Balkan hatreds – don’t even try. But basically, the tensions really kicked in after Slobodan Milosevic came to the battlefield at Kosovo Polje in 1989 on the 500^th anniversary of the Muslim Ottoman Turks annihilating the cream of Serbian nobility. Thereafter, the campaign of exclusion and harassment against the K-Albs by Serbs ratcheted up. Where they had lived together in peace before, now the Serbs – unrestrained by laws, rules or norms – became increasingly despotic.

Eventually, the Serbs tried to drive out the despised minority K-Albs. NATO intervened and saved the Albanians, who promptly came back and drove the Serbs out. The Roma, perceived as allies of the Serbs, fled too. That village behind me wasn’t blown up by explosives. That damage was done by people, with picks and shovels and bare hands.

Which brings us to America in 2015. It’s becoming a nation where an elite that is certain of its power and its moral rightness is waging a cultural war on a despised minority. Except it’s not actually a minority – it only seems that way because it is marginalized by the coastal elitist liberals who run the mainstream media.

Today in America, we have a liberal president refuses to recognize the majority sent to Congress as a reaction to his progressive failures, and who uses extra-Constitutional means like executive orders to stifle the voice of his opponents. We have a liberal establishment on a secular jihad against people who dare place their conscience ahead of progressive dogma. And we have two different sets of laws, one for the little people and one for liberals like Lois Lerner, Al Sharpton and Hillary Clinton, who can blatantly commit federal crimes and walk away scot free and smirking.

Today in America, a despised minority that is really no minority is the target of an establishment that considers this minority unworthy of respect, unworthy of rights, and unworthy of having a say in the direction of this country. It’s an establishment that has one law for itself, and another for its enemies. It’s an establishment that inflicts an ever-increasing series of petty humiliations on its opponents and considers this all hilarious.

That’s a recipe for disaster. You cannot expect to change the status quo for yourself and then expect those you victimize not to play by the new rules you have created. You cannot expect to be able to discard the rule of law in favor of the rule of force and have those you target not respond in kind.

Liberals ask how a baker can believe that making a cake for a same sex wedding violates his conscience, but they don’t think about how the standard they are setting is that the government now gets to determine the validity of individual beliefs. Do they want us passing judgment on them?
