In order to be prepared smartly, we must be situationally aware of any given threat that looms on the horizon and take the necessary steps to eliminate and/or mitigate those threats. For your situational awareness (FYSA), this column focuses on parts of the Original Northwest Territory to include the following states: Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Due to their strategic importance to the TBR family, we have chosen to add the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. Our focus begins here; however, as news and events warrant, we will include all states and regions.

News & Events ->Â 23DEC25
Indiana -
WWII uniform stolen after car crash - Indianapolis: https://fox59.com/news/indianapolis-man-searching-for-his-grandpas-wwii-uniform-after-car-was-stolen/
Where is the cheapest gas in the Hoosier state? - Statewide: https://www.indystar.com/story/money/2025/12/22/gas-prices-indiana-counties-christmas-travel-2025-average-cost-of-fuel-regular-unleaded/87881500007/
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory - Statewide: https://abc7chicago.com/post/indiana-redistricting-news-proposed-2025-map-final-vote-state-senate-thursday-amid-pressure-president-donald-trump/18275092/
Lee's Note: It never ceases to amaze me how many so-called "conservatives" can overtime show their true colors and then still get reelected in the Hoosier state. The great people of Indiana need to primary each one of the 21 RINO's that voted with the demoncrats. It's been said, "the quickest way to lose a war is to not know that you are in one."
Ohio -Â
Woman finds "altered" grenade - Warren County: https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/deputies-recover-altered-grenade-found-by-woman-in-warren-county
The right to hunt and fish, Buckeyes fight for freedom - Statewide: https://signalohio.org/advocacy-group-plans-multimillion-dollar-push-for-constitutional-hunting-and-fishing-amendment-in-ohio/
Gov. DeWine "reluctantly" signs bill requiring ballots to be counted on election night - Statewide: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/politics/ohio-politics/ohio-gov-mike-dewine-reluctantly-signs-bill-requiring-most-ballots-to-be-counted-on-election-night
Lee's Takeaway: Anytime someone is against a single election day and wants to spread the counting of ballots over days/weeks, that should be a red flag for everyone. We use to be able to count all votes and actually know who the president is before Christmas. If Iraqi's can run fair elections...then Ohio should be able to as well.
Michigan -
U.S. Coast Guard family loses home in fire - Grand Traverse Co: https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/fire-damages-kingsley-home-of-us-coast-guard-family-community-unites-with-support
Free Speech victory on conversion therapy - Statewide: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/michigan/articles/2025-12-17/court-blocks-michigan-ban-on-conversion-therapy-on-free-speech-grounds
Kentucky -

Tennessee -
After Christmas bombing 5-years ago, 2nd Avenue reopens to traffic - Davidson Co: https://www.newschannel5.com/news/state/tennessee/davidson-county/second-avenue-completely-reopens-to-traffic-nearly-5-years-after-the-nashville-christmas-bombing
Black bear spotted in the West Hills area - Knoxville: https://www.wvlt.tv/2025/12/22/black-bear-spotted-west-hills-area-knoxville/
TN ranked 4th overall for inbound migration - Nashville: https://www.wate.com/news/tennessee/once-again-tennessee-was-a-top-destination-state-for-movers-in-2025/
Lee's Note: TN continues to be a top state for people moving to since the PLANdemic of 2020. While the Grey tribe all love the Volunteer state, the weather is swampy to say the least in the summer. In addtion, the rapid expansion and growth of Nashville is turning it into another concentrated liberal stronghold. Regarding threats, the best place to relocate to in the state would be the western side. The east is compromised by Oak Ridge Y-12 National Security Complex and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
