Wake Up!

1 Sept 23   “Being armed with a deadly weapon and simultaneously thinking I am doing something ‘routine’ is simply impossible for me”   Frieling   We all need to wake up!   A middle-aged Navy veteran, walking his dog right outside his own home in a “nice part” of Philadelphia, was precipitously attacked and […]

When Democrats are in charge…

29 Aug 23   When leftist agendas and careers trump public safety   Recent fires in Lahaina on the Hawaiian Island of Maui painfully illustrate the practical effect of liberal/Communist philosophy, currently embraced by Democrats.   The dear religion of environmentalism/collectivism absolutely require that:   1) Plant growth can never be “disturbed.” Plants must grow […]

Crime!

25 Aug 23   Violent Crime!   The “deterrent value” of law enforcement is at an all-time low!   Less than half of crimes of violence in the USA are never “solved.” Of the ones that are “solved” or “cleared,” few arrests and successful prosecutions ever result.   Less than twenty percent of property crimes […]

Brownshirts Rising!

19 Aug 23   “Fasci Italiani di Combattimento,” Benito Mussolini’s version of “CNSF,” 1919   Brownshirts!   Not long ago, BHO proposed the formation of a heavily-armed “Civilian National Security Force,” which was to be under his direct control, and that would “aid” (actually displace) local police.   Remember this BHO quotation from 2008?   […]

Don’t Believe Them!

18 Aug 23   “They’re all ‘vetted!’”   This from friends in western NY:   “In Niagara County, NY our local politicians have courageously refused to accept illegal aliens that liberals in NYC want ‘relocated’ to our community (instead of being ‘relocated’ back to where they came from).   However, our neighbors directly south of […]

Foolish Assumptions!

17 Aug 23   “The naive don’t want to hear truth, because they can’t endure seeing their delusional phantasies demolished”   Nietzsche   Lessons from Maui (and host of other disasters)   1) The naive tendency for most people to assume “technology will beat nature” is ultimately fatal!   What happens when high winds meet […]

Absence of Order!

15 Aug 23   “‘Negotiating’ only works between moral people”   Marshall When disaster strikes, gun-free Hawaii, where state government has smugly declared that Hawaiians are too stupid to own guns, is apparently not the utopia leftists promised!   Looters and armed robbers are running amok in the wake of epic wildfires.   Local residents […]

Anarchy!

13 Aug 23   “It is the beginning of wisdom when you recognize that the best you can do is choose which set of rules you want to live by, and it’s persistent and aggravated imbecility to pretend you can live without any”   Wallace Stegner   Anarchy Rising!   Yesterday, in the upscale neighborhood […]

Uninhabitable!

10 Aug 23   “‘Civil rights’ used to be about treating everyone the same.   But today, some are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered ‘discrimination!’”   Thomas Sowell   Who champion “diversity” need to be asked how many conservatives serve on the LA City council!   Anti-police/anti-policing sentiment among far-left […]

Do as I say, not as I do!

3 Aug 23   “I can look my own badness in the face and accept its existence, while you are busy covering your mirror with a white linen sheet.   “When I sin, I know I’m sinning, while you have fallen prey to your own fabricated illusions.”   C JoyBell   Curious the way woke […]

Heroes!

2 Aug 23   “They didn’t have to know what was coming, but they were always ready!”   Tim Grover, describing “… the unforgiving race to greatness”   Heroes to the Rescue, Once More!   Yesterday afternoon, six Israeli citizens were wounded (two critical) during a terrorist shooting attack at a shopping mall in Ma’aleh […]
