8 Apr 21   Battle of Palma, March and April of 2021, Mozambique   You probably didn’t hear much about this!   This “battle” (actually a massacre of at least hundreds, maybe thousands, of unarmed non-Moslems) where the City of Palma was taken-over by a well-organized and heavily-armed murderous Islamist insurgency.   Police stations, banks, […]

7 Apr 21   Trigger “prepping,” if you like penitentiaries (on the inside)!   I’ve seen and personally witnessed several professing self-defense instructors recently who are promoting the misguided procedure of “trigger prepping,” and teaching it to naive students.   With “trigger prepping,” one places his finger in contact with the trigger of his pistol […]

Happily, other officers […]

2 Apr 21   Watch them squirm!   The now-deceased murderer of a USCP Police Officer who today rammed his car into two USCP Officers, and then jumped-out, knife in hand, is now revealed to have been an ardent follower of the rabidly anti-Semitic, black-separatist Nation of Islam.   How terribly inconvenient this harsh reality […]

When you don’t have the courage to become a Communist, you become a ‘socialist’”   Jaggi Vasudev   “Gun control” is not the desired outcome of today’s Democrats/socialists/Communists!   The Left’s visceral hatred of armed and self-reliant citizens knows no bounds and is patently pathological.

17 Mar 21   DTI Quips   Some on our Quips “Direct List” have fallen-off, for reasons I’m not prepared to explain!   I generally publish a Quip once per week, sometimes more often.   So, when you notice you haven’t been receiving Quips for two weeks or more, I’m not sure what happened, but […]

17 Mar 21   “Safe” at home?   There is currently a nationwide surge in home-invasion/robberies, along with a significant increase in violent crime in general.   Among disarmed (by fiat) NYC residents, the phenomenon is particularly alarming!

13 Mar 21   “Everyone thinks of ‘changing the world,’ but no one thinks of changing himself.”   Leo Tolstoy   Last Wednesday, and apparently with a straight face, the wife of NYC’s current Communist mayor urged New Yorkers, all disarmed by law, to nonetheless physically confront dangerous felons, as these felons are in the […]

24 Feb 21   “The nature of modern war leaves no state untouched” Woodrow Wilson, 1916   Proxy War!   In the 1930s, Joe Stalin was actively exporting his own style of Communism worldwide, but his well-deserved personal reputation for ecumenical murderous brutality (despite his best efforts to hide much of it) generated considerable push-back […]
