The Ahmaud Arbery trial: Justice was served, just as it was in the Rittenhouse trial

  I’ve seen a fair amount of negative comment about the guilty verdicts for the three defendants in the Ahmaud Arbery murder trial.  I think such comments are not only misplaced, but display a fundamental misunderstanding of the law in almost every jurisdiction. The law does not give anyone a license to play vigilante, which… Continue reading The Ahmaud Arbery trial: Justice was served, just as it was in the Rittenhouse trial

If you insure through USAA, you might want to check the status of your account…

  … because it appears some of their customers are having problems.  Beans, blogging at Chant du Depart, describes what he found. So, there I was, Saturday, planning on holiday meals and planning bills (like car tag renewals and such) and while reviewing my bank statement (on-line, I’m not a total Luddite) and lo and… Continue reading If you insure through USAA, you might want to check the status of your account…

Lawdog opines on the Rittenhouse trial

  From our mutual friend Lawdog: “How many Constitutional violations have happened in the Rittenhouse trial so far?” “Umm, Fifth and Thirteenth.” “Thirteenth?

I’m not a fan or follower of DJT Jr., but in this case I have to admit, he’s nailed it.  What was the Washington Post thinking of, to make so bald-faced an admission – in other words, confessing that one of its editors deliberately lied – that leaves it with egg… Continue reading When the news media fall over their own feet…

That’s an unfortunate misprint . . . or is it?

  I happened to come across the listing for a Buck Knives 108 Compadre Froe on Amazon.com a day or two ago.  (A “froe“, for those who don’t know the term, is “a tool for cleaving wood by splitting it along the grain”.) In the item description, this sentence appears: “Perfect for clearing, heavy chopping,… Continue reading That’s an unfortunate misprint . . . or is it?

What Afghanistan means for the US: “massive trickle-down implications”

  Tucker Carlson recently interviewed Erik Prince about the Afghanistan debacle and what it portends for the United States.  His answers were very interesting.  I’ve transcribed a few of his more important comments, and embedded the video interview below that. This will destroy what’s left of NATO, because the US has been so unilateral, and… Continue reading What Afghanistan means for the US: “massive trickle-down implications”
