I just flew to DEN, from CMB
16 Mar 2020 I just flew to DEN, from CMB (Columbus, OH). I was one of twenty-four passengers on the plane! Flying out of DEN last Friday, the plane was full. The situation is changing almost by the minute! All airlines are canceling a high percentage of their flights, maybe all of them by the […]

Corona Virus

The greatest evil… is done by quiet men in white collars…
11 Mar 2020 “The greatest evil… is done by quiet men in white collars, and cut fingernails, and smooth‑shaven cheeks, who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, my symbol for hell is something like ‘The Bureaucracy.’” CS Lewis Probably the first westerner ever personally to observe the “Lugou Bridge” over the Yongding River […]
From a friend and student:
9 Mar 2020 From a friend and student: “With regard to your last Quip, In India, the ancient and colorful Hindu Festival of “Holi” is currently being celebrated.

They crush people to earth…
8 Mar 2020 “They crush people to earth, and then claim the right to trample on them forever!” Lydia Child How do I explain it? Contrary to leftist dogma, I don’t carry a concealed pistol in public, because I secretly harbor some surreptitious desire to shoot criminals, any more that I keep a fire extinguisher […]
Over the years
6 Mar 2020 “Over the years, Americans have been all too willing to squander hard‑earned independence and freedom for the illusion of ‘feeling safe’ under someone else’s authority. The concept of self‑sufficiency has been undermined over a scant few generations. The vast majority naively look down their noses upon self‑reliance as some quaint, dusty relic, […]
“Heaven strictly enforces its immigration laws, Hell has “open borders!”
5 Mar 2020 “Heaven strictly enforces its immigration laws Hell has ‘open borders!’” Sherrick Sometimes, the mask slips! Marxists (masquerading as “Democrats”) characteristically soft-sell their socialist agenda, trying to maintain at least a pretense of respectability. Openly advocating for violence against political opponents is usually saved for the “later stages.” But, Chuck Schumer let his […]

Steiner, IO, Century arms
2 Mar 2020 Steiner, IO, Century arms At a DTI Urban Rifle Course last weekend in TX, I used my copy of Inter-Ordinance’s M4, with Steiner’s P4Xi 1×4 tactical rifle optic.

Wherever there is a jackboot stomping on a human face…
26 Feb 2020 “Wherever there is a jackboot stomping on a human face, there will be a starry-eyed, self-declared, ‘progressive’ apologist somewhere in the USA blushfully explaining that the face does, after all, enjoy ‘free’ health care and ‘one-hundred percent literacy.’” John Derbyshire During the latest Democratic “debate” last night, on the eve of the […]
“The dictatorship of the Communist Party is maintained by recourse to every form of violence.”
25 Feb 2020 “The dictatorship of the Communist Party is maintained by recourse to every form of violence.” Leon Trotsky, 1921 After narrowly surviving several assassination attempts, Trotsky was finally murdered, while in exile in Mexico City, by agents of Stalin’s dreaded NKVD, on 20 Aug 1940. Trotsky was sixty. The wet dream of Trotsky’s […]

Imagine, re-imagined!
24 Feb 2020 “Imagine,” re-imagined! John Lennon was one of four that made-up the original British Beatles singing group, who were together and popular from 1960-70. Lennon and the rest pursued individual singing/entertainment careers after the group broke up. Lennon was an unapologetic Marxist. Like all Marxists, he was an amoral sleaz, who left behind […]

There is no difference between Communism and socialism.
20 Feb 2020 “There is no difference between Communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same end: Communism enslaves men by force Socialism, by vote It is merely the difference between murder, and suicide!” Ayn Rand The “Socialist Utopia” of Denmark!
