Y’know, I think he’s got it in one

  Received via e-mail, origin unknown: Looking at the behavior of Antifa/BLM rioters, the whining of the “woke” and the posturing of the politically correct, I reckon they all prove the truth of that!  Sadly, many of those who spoiled their children also failed – or refused – to raise their grandchildren.  Instead, they abdicated… Continue reading Y’know, I think he’s got it in one

“Aiming is useless”? Not really, but Rob Leatham does have a point

  Rob Leatham offers some pithy advice on how to shoot a handgun accurately.  Don’t be fooled by the title – he makes a valid point. Getting the basics right is almost always the key to everything else, in shooting as much as any other endeavor.  Holding the gun steady is the foundation of all… Continue reading “Aiming is useless”?

An invaluable insight into how China’s leadership thinks – and acts

  A speech given by John Garnaut to an Australian government seminar in 2017 has just come to my attention.  In it, Mr. Garnaut puts into a nutshell how China’s leaders see the world and their own country, and how they’re working to ensure their ongoing – indeed, perpetual – control of both. Here’s a… Continue reading An invaluable insight into how China’s leadership thinks – and acts

Angelo Codevilla hits the nail on the head yet again

Tucker Carlson hits one out of the park

I think this is one of the most thought-provoking commentaries from Tucker Carlson so far this year.  He perfectly encapsulates the dilemma confronting the USA in the forthcoming elections.  Will we vote for freedom, and the importance of the individual over the group, and the constitution, and the values held by our Founding Fathers –… Continue reading Tucker Carlson hits one out of the park

It’s time, and past time, to form local groups for mutual assistance and security

I’ve said on several occasions in the past that we should get together with like-minded individuals and families, to help each other through economic and social hard times such as we’re presently experiencing.  I suggest that’s now become a need rather than a nice-to-have.  Things are deteriorating to the point that, as Benjamin Franklin said:… Continue reading It’s time, and past time, to form local groups for mutual assistance and security

Saturday Snippet: Lest we forget!

Given the parlous state of our nation in these troubled times, I thought we all might benefit from a reminder that all our worldly power, and energies, and ambitions, will eventually lead to our decline and fall – just as they have always done in human history.  Only if we “lift our eyes unto the… Continue reading Saturday Snippet: Lest we forget!
