That’s the title of a recent video by the Armed Attorneys, Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor. I think it’s particularly important viewing in the light of partisan District Attorneys and police administrators in many jurisdictions in the USA. I’ve written about that problem extensively in the past, particularly in these two articles: Self-defense under… Continue reading “Lies, Damn Lies, And Police Interrogations”

A sobering inside look at our US hospital system
Divemedic has many years of experience working in the US hospital system. He offers this insight about what’s going on now in his Florida hospital. I’ve confirmed that much the same thing is happening in some hospitals in Texas, Tennessee and Colorado, because I have contacts in all of them. We have been short… Continue reading A sobering inside look at our US hospital system
The balance of international influence just shifted – hard
Many readers may not have paid much attention to the meeting last week of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). That would be very short-sighted, because a number of developments there demonstrate a significant, possibly permanent shift in the international perspective and alignment of the nations of the world. One of the most interesting aspects… Continue reading The balance of international influence just shifted – hard
What do you expect, after you’ve defunded the police?
Clearly, the liberals and progressives who’ve embraced defunding and inhibiting the police and other emergency services didn’t think about how – or whether – they would be able to do their jobs with less funding. New York City first responders are taking longer to get to fires, medical emergencies and crimes in progress. Critics… Continue reading What do you expect, after you’ve defunded the police?
Quote of the day, week and month
From the anonymous blogger at Come And Make It: Nothing creates poverty. Poverty is the beginning state. It takes zero effort to be poor. It does take a lot of work not to be poor. True dat. True, true dat. I wish our politicians and bureaucrats would understand that. You can’t legislate people out… Continue reading Quote of the day, week and month
If I worked on the railroads, I’d vote for a strike, too
All the verbal diarrhea spouted by politicians, railroad business executives and others about how a rail strike would be disastrous for the USA ignores a simple reality. Rail staff – particularly engineers and conductors – are so over-stressed, over-worked and under-appreciated that I’m astonished they’ve put up with it for this long. They need… Continue reading If I worked on the railroads, I’d vote for a strike, too
Bad news for America’s farmers
Australians are unhappy – to put it mildly – to learn that a third consecutive year of La Niña is likely, stretching into 2023. Much of Australia will face unusually heavy rains in coming months, the country’s weather forecaster said on Tuesday, after confirming that a La Niña weather event is under way for… Continue reading Bad news for America’s farmers
True dat
A few days ago, Murtaza Hussain of the Intercept tweeted: He’s absolutely right, of course. We saw in World War II how some of the most “civilized” nations on earth degenerated into murderous slaughter machines, killing millions on the grounds that they were “subhuman” or “degenerate”. Those states’ “civilization” was no more than skin… Continue reading True dat
A reminder from an African war comrade: emergency hygiene
In all our talk about the current food crisis and preparing for hard times, I’ve neglected to mention one aspect that’s particularly important: personal and household hygiene. An old buddy from Africa reminded me about that during an e-mail exchange today. It’s important enough a topic that I figured I’d best address it right… Continue reading A reminder from an African war comrade: emergency hygiene
The “knockout game”: **** around and find out
Last week I published an article titled ‘Self-defense warning: the “knockout game”, a.k.a. “polar bear hunting”, is back‘. If you missed it, you might want to read it before you go any further with this one. Over the weekend, Phil at Bustednuckles put up a video clip of what looks like a school or… Continue reading The “knockout game”: **** around and find out
