A Right and Duty to Protect

Recent events caused me to reflect on why I made the decision several years ago to carry a personal firearm. This past weekend, I saw a cartoon that stuck with me. Maybe not due to the cartoon itself, but my mind made a connection between what it represented and many incidents since it was originally…

Soft on Criminals, Hard on Victims

The left’s attacks on the right of self defense have led to a race war. About this time yesterday, I began a post about the bodega owner who Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg charged with a felony and sent to Riker’s for defending himself. I was going to let it sit until I could clean it…

Happy Independence Day

Just a little note to the forces destroying America. Maybe in the middle of your mayhem, you can find a little time to consider the consequences of your actions. You might not like them. I’ve always considered people who tell me that Americans don’t really know and appreciate other cultures around the world because they…

Food Shortages: Just a Conspiracy Theory?

Throughout history, famine has been used by tyrants to punish and control populations. From a news report on Friday: “Smithfield Foods announced in a news release Friday that it is ceasing all harvest and processing operations in Vernon, California, early next year and plans to “align its hog production system by reducing its sow herd…

Bye, Felicia

As Felicia Sonmez found out, there are limits to woke beliefs and behaviors after all. “It’s no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy‘Cause every now and then, I kick the living shit out of meThe smoke alarm is going off, and there’s a cigaretteStill burning” ~ Lit, “My Own Worst Enemy” (1999)…

America’s Little Emperors

In the mold of China’s corpulent, privileged little terrors, America reared its own class of adult babies who assume they are untouchable. It may be they are hearing “no” for the first time. My wife told me an interesting work story last night. It was a work “adjacent” story because it told to her by…

Under the Democrat’s Thumb

“It’s down to me, yes it isThe way she does just what she’s toldDown to me, the change has comeShe’s under my thumb” ~ The Rolling Stones, “Under My Thumb” (1966) That Stones tune is running through my head this morning. I promised not to watch the Democrats’ J6 Primetime After School Special of last…

It is Never Going to Happen Until it Does

Contrary to what “fact checkers” say, the Biden administration is about to cede US authority to the World Health Organization without public notification, any Congressional oversight, or a single vote from an American citizen. One of the formulations of the Law of Salutary Contradiction (the LSC for short) is: “That’s not happening and it’s good…

The Law of Specific Ambiguity

I want to introduce something. I call it the Law of Specific Ambiguity. It may already exist because I’m sure I’m not the first one to notice, but my formulation gives me an excuse to restate a brilliant piece written by Michael Anton (conservative essayist, speechwriter, and national security official in the Trump administration) back in…

The Lookout Tower

A constitutional, representative republic is undoubtedly the best vehicle to deliver, protect, and defend individual liberties of a citizenry. It can produce the best of a nation and its people because it is (at least allegedly) as Lincoln said, “a government of the people, by the people and for the people”. But what happens when…

A Message to Democrats of Good Faith

The brutal murder of Kitty Genovese in New York on March 13, 1964 and the myth that grew from it cemented the perception in the global psyche that the citizens of Kew Gardens were not only uncaring and unwilling to help Miss Genovese but were willfully detached to the point of criminally depraved indifference. It gave birth…

The American Berlin Wall

Throughout my career and personal existence, I have made a concerted effort not to demonize my opponents and enemies (hopefully I have left behind more of the former and not many of the latter), but with every passing day, it gets more difficult not to recognize the obvious truth. The Obama regime softened America up…

Intellectual Anarchy

Anarchy is more than a bunch of rock throwing, sign toting, balaclava wearing, fascist thugs dressed in black goth outfits. Anarchy is first manifested in the mind, typified by opposition defiant behaviors fueled by the rejection of every social more, tradition and morality of established cultures and civilizations. Never forget that this anarchy hides itself…

The Importance of Asking Questions

It is the ultimate in irony that the period in human history that has delivered the most widely spread prosperity, good health and security has yielded the most angry and unhappy people. The very institutions that generated this period are attacked as evil and wrong. Religious faith is abandoned. Ignorance replaces knowledge and madness supplants…

The Maginot Line

At the time, I didn’t know it, but my first contact with the war on Western civilization came in the fall of 1979, some 43 years ago. In my curriculum, one of the freshman courses required was Western Civ., a class that high school, colleges and universities today have either abandoned or completely inverted. Being…

Prepare to Push Back

Because I am sexy, incredibly good looking, wealthy beyond imagination and super intelligent, people ask me all the time, “Hey, you sexy, incredibly good looking, wealthy beyond imagination and super intelligent dude, what can we do about the left’s putsch to destroy America?” Well, they ask the last part of the question anyway. That first…

The Democrats of TikTok

If you have ever wondered why Democrats dial everything up to 11 no matter how innocuous and anodyne the situation seems, why they create fictions about the things that often a 10 second internet search can debunk, and burst into tears about situations of their own construction, it is due to this: Democrats never cede…

Disney, DeSantis and DeFuture

The attacks on Ron DeSantis from the right are as ridiculous as those from the left – and they reveal why Republicans constantly lose even when they win elections. “It is a violation of the First Amendment!” “You won; you don’t have to salt the earth!” “Don’t do that, we will lose the support of…

Fox Mulder and the Democrats

Before the invention of the lightbulb, America was lit by gas light. Today, in the age of private space flights, computers and the Internet, America is just gaslit. If you feel as if you are going insane, don’t think you are alone. Americans are constantly bombarded with propaganda and agitprop so absurd and ridiculous; it…

Pascal’s Wager

There is a thing called Pascal’s Wager. Mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, writer, and Catholic theologian, Blaise Pascal contemplated the risk/reward matrix whether believing in God was justified absent concrete proof of God’s existence. In a very simplified description, Pascal deduced that even under the assumption that God’s existence is unlikely, the potential benefits of believing are so…
