Livestock!

30 Aug 21   “Communism, not a political form of governance, but a corroding social disease that becomes epidemic”   James Drout   “Leftists are like the HIV virus.   Seedy parasites that shut-down a civilization’s natural defenses, so that they can infect, multiply and consume the nation’s resources, feeding their ever-useless, non-productive selves, until […]

A New Epiphany!

25 Aug 21   The nation’s largest police department, NYPD, has had yet another epiphany!   Since using G19s (for the most part) since the 1990s, all equipped with department-mandated “NY Triggers,” which boosted trigger pull-weight to a nominal twelve pounds, the department has now decided to reduce trigger pull-weight back to five/six pounds, which […]

News is not good!

23 Aug 21   “See skulking Truth, to her old cavern fled,Mountains of casuistry heaped o’er her head!Philosophy, that leaned on Heaven before,Shrinks to her ‘second cause,’ and is no more.Physic of Metaphysic begs defense,And Metaphysic calls for aid on Sense!See Mystery to Mathematics fly!In-vain they gaze, turn giddy, rave, and die!Religion, blushing, veils her […]

Language as Fraud

19 Aug 21   Leftists aren’t “involved with fraud”  Leftists ARE fraud!”   Farnam   Language of cowardice:   Of the unfolding Afghanistan disaster, our Secretary of Defense said yesterday:   “We don’t have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people.”   He carefully avoids use of the arrant verb, “rescue.” […]

Cowardice!

They want no serious opposition. This is exactly what Democrats want to do here!   2) Going […]

That Clever Covid!

11 Aug 21   “… and it won’t make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong.   When you’re rich, they think you really know!”   Reb Tevye (played by Chaim Topol) in “If I Were a Rich Man,” from the 1971 feature film, “Fiddler on the Roof”   “Deplorables,” the favorite […]

Unreported!

10 Aug 21   An unreported commercial flying incident, from a friend and student:   “In the middle of a commercial flight (domestic) last week, flight attendants suddenly asked if there was a physician on-board.   I discretely raised my and, and they came and escorted me to the front of the aircraft.   They […]

“Extemists” to the Rescue!

4 Aug 21   “A casual stroll through a lunatic asylum will convince you that ‘faith’ proves nothing.”   Friedrich Nietzsche   “Extremists” to the rescue!   In promoting the concept of hot ranges, I often put it this way:   “Range Safety” is correctly defined as, “Those reasonable precautions we take to reduce risk, […]

Slaves Indeed!

2 Apr 21   “My faith in God is strong, but my faith in our ‘leadership’ is weak”   Abraham Lewis   In a cynical gesture to his Marxist base, JRB has announced that the current pestilence of “gun violence” infesting virtually all our metro areas, particularly those with Democrat mayors, is all caused by […]
