Well… last week I wrote about the fiasco called Jan 6th. Most of you gave me some serious attaboys! Some of you were less than pleased with me “supporting the insurrectionists”… sigh. Well, this blog is sure to piss off a bunch of people too! Enjoy. Let's start out with a scene from a John...
“Your client brought a loaded magazine to the airport!” “As I told you, we are not arguing he did it… we explained it was unintentional. He did not realize he had it in his bag.” “You want a plea offer? Fine… I’ll give you a plea offer! 30 days in jail!” “What? You want a surgeon to...
Let’s start 2022 on a positive note: We are still alive. Well… sort of alive. Homeostasis is occurring (in most of us)… but are we really alive? Using The Matrix (Alice in Wonderland) motif: Many of us have elected to take the “blue pill”. Speaking of The Matrix, I watched the newest installation the other day. Chaney...
As I write this, we are quickly wrapping up 2021. We are being told by the legacy media we are much better off today than we were a year ago when the world was gripped by Middle East peace, low oil, and stable inflationary pressures. One of the takeaways from 2021 is a rehabilitation of...
During the Thanksgiving holiday, the Cadet came home. Her beau, a West Point grad, now in training to be a heavy armor platoon commander, and currently stationed at Ft. Benning, Georgia, decided to fly in and join us. Jeremy, the Second Lieutenant, is black. His mother is from Haiti (and a registered nurse) and his...
“Gentleman… I believe it is time we adjourn and reconvene in Montana for a bit of a field trip.” With that simple turn of phrase, I had the unique opportunity to finally visit a state I have been longing to see for my entire adult life. I have been hunting and traipsing around the western states...
“I did not pull the trigger.” That was the headline this morning when I sat down to my computer. Alec Baldwin, for reasons that are completely inexplicable to me, has been quoted as saying in an interview that he never pulled the trigger on the firearm that killed his cinematographer. There is no indication that he...
A mea culpa… A couple of months ago I wrote a blog about professionalism-at-arms. I was specifically referring to our responsibility as gun owners and, more importantly, those who carry guns to operate at a higher level of maturity and, frankly, stoicism than others, not simply in the way we present ourselves to those around...
Last week I wrote a blog about the Kyle Rittenhouse testimony immediately after he finished testifying. I was nervous the jury was going to return a verdict before the blog went out the following Wednesday. As it turns out that was not something I needed to be worried about. I am writing this blog post...
Well. I’m writing this blog on Wednesday, November 10th at 14:43. The Kyle Rittenhouse testimony has just concluded. Normally I tend to write these things towards the end of the week and pray that nothing major happens over the next few days that would make this blog moot. That clearly may happen in this case....
