End Times at the DC Corral

Personally, I believe that the plodding, implacable Robert Mueller, white knight of the Deep State, will flush the Golden Golem of Greatness out of office, probably on some sort of money-laundering rap having nothing to do with “Russian meddling.” Anderson Cooper will have a multiple orgasm. Rachel Maddow will don a yellow hard-hat and chain-saw a scale model of Mar-a-Lago to the glee of her worshippers. The #Resistance will dance in the streets. And then what?

I doubt that Mr. Trump will go...

Do You Carry a Concealed Firearm?

As a concealed carry instructor in a state that requires training and follow-up qualifications every 24 months, I’ve heard many people express regret or demonstrate lack of readiness to exercise what my open carry state considers to be the privilege of concealing a handgun. Here are seven typical mistakes to avoid when beginning the journey of concealed carry:

1. Buying too-big gun

A larger handgun is generally easier to handle and fire than one that’ll fit on your ankle or discreetly under a...

Stunned by Your Latest Auto Repair Bill?

If you own a late model car or truck, and you’ve been in a wreck, you may still be shaking your head over the repair bill. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) says today’s vehicles are loaded with expensive parts and technology that increase the costs of repairs, even in what may be considered a minor accident.

But some people are making a pretty penny off of those increasingly more expensive car parts, namely car thieves.

Car Thefts Up Again

The National Insurance Crime Bureau says ca...

Brutal Attack Stopped

The AR-15 is the most demonized firearm in the world these days (or at least in the United States). While gun folks tend to love the blasted things–yours truly included–anti-gunners see them as basically magazine-fed bazookas. Thanks to the media, which has misrepresented the weapons to the public at large, most people seem to think they’re the most deadly firearms out there.

As a result, most folks look at the rifles with something like disgust following the tragedy in Parkland, FL. Yet it’s...

Liberty’s Teeth

“And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?”

– Thomas Babington Macaulay

Over 98% of all mass shootings in the USSA since 1950 have occurred in gun free zones where the government mandated private disarmament or corporate entities that licked the foul taint of the government to mimic compliance. For the shooters, guaranteed a rather hazard free opportunity to maim and kill as many disarmed humans as they wished or found the...

The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says that the Russians are going to try and manipulate US elections again regardless of whether President Donald Trump decides to address the issue or not.

Ms Clinton, noting her previous role as secretary of State, spoke out after America’s National Security Agency director, Adm Michael S Rogers, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he had not been authorised to change overall strategy on America’s efforts to curb Russian elec...

Cops Claim Not To Know

Rapes are soaring in Britain’s multicultural capital under Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan — but police claim they have no idea what could be behind the increase.

7,613 rapes were recorded in Sadiq Khan’s London in the 12 months to the end of January 2018, compared with 6,392 over the previous year — a rise of almost 20 per cent, the Evening Standard reports.

Some have attempted to attribute the rise to victims being more confident in coming forward, but Khan’s Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, So...

Putin’s State of the Union

Putin has given a remarkable address to the Federal Assembly, the Russian People, and the peoples of the world.

In his speech, Putin revealed the existence of new Russian nuclear weapons that make it indisputably clear that Russia has vast nuclear superiority over the United States and its pathetic NATO vassal states.
In view of the Russian capabilities, it is not clear that the US any longer qualifies as a superpower.

There is little doubt in my mind that if the crazed neoconservatives and m...

$67 Trillion Nightmare

Here’s why our mountainous $67 trillion of public and private debt matters. To wit, it has caused the historic relationship between trends on main street and Wall Street to go absolutely haywire.

A week or so back, they reported January industrial production at 107.24, which was only a tad higher than it had been three years earlier in November 2014 (106.61), and just 1.8% above where it had been at the pre-crisis peak way back in November 2007 (105.33). If you cotton to CAGRs, that’s a micro...

Republicans Are Wrong on Immigration

Last Saturday afternoon, I listened to a gathering of Wall Street Journal editors and writers on Fox News discussing the congressional deadlock on immigration.  Paul Gigot, Jason Riley, and Karl Rove were all disturbed that the president and congressional Republicans who followed his lead were stalling a compromise over DACA and other related immigration issues.  These intransigents should have accepted something like the Graham-Durbin proposal that would have amnestied DACA recipients and th...
