12 Jan 24   “Marxists’ ‘love’ of democratic institutions was a stratagem only, a pious fraud for the deception of the masses.   Within a socialist community, there is no room left for freedom.”   Ludwig Von Mises   “Guaranteed Chaos,” the currency of leftists:   As NY’s Democrat governor, with a bigoted sneer, crows […]

9 Jan 24   “‘War’ is when the government tells you whom the enemy is.   ‘Revolution’ is when you figure it out for yourself!”   Napoleon Bonaparte   “Restorative ‘Justice?’”   In Clark Co, NV last week, a convicted multi-felonious defendant, who was in the process of learning his sentence (for just his latest […]

2 Jan 23   No respite!   Less than a hour into the new year, a rented SUV filled of cans of gasoline and driven at high speed by a single person, deliberately slammed-into a crowd that was in the process of exiting a New Year’s Eve concert in Rochester, NY   At least three […]

1 Jan 24   “I fear Greeks, even when they bring gifts.”   Virgil (30BC)   With regard to European history, the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, with its upset victory (once more) by Prussia (along with the balance of loosely-unified German states) over post-Napoleonic France, essentially created the modern nation of Germany, permanently uniting most […]

30 Dec 23   Last Quip of 2023!   With regard to this season’s New Year’s Eve celebration(s):   In order to remain “marketable” within our woke/leftist media, most professing “security experts” you might hear interviewed on TV will predictably stick with half-truths and “pat answers” with regard to the issue of personal safety.   […]

27 Dec 23   Christmas Eve Shooting!   One of my long-time students was involved in a fatal shooting on 24 Dec 23.   As you might expect, I can only talk about this incident in general terms.   It took place in a metro area.   My student was precipitously assaulted simultaneously by several […]

26 Dec 23   “It’s always good to have lifeguards nearby, but it’s better to learn how to swim!”   Sam Rosenberg   JRB’s Administration is, even today, still refusing to sell 27k US-manufactured M4s to Israel, for emergency defense.   There are those within the JRB Administration who express concern that some of these […]

15 Dec 23   “‘All the world’s a stage,’ and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.”   Seán O’Casey   Uncharted territory!   The JRB administration is, with a signature sneer, contemptuously ignoring court rulings, as are blue-state legislatures and governors, along with Democrat Mayors.   Federal LE continues to employ extra-Constitutional powers to harass/terrorize […]

14 Dec 23   “This is extremely serious”   Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, yesterday   Denmark’s “terror threat-level” is currently set to “serious,” just one step below the highest level.   The foregoing in response to yesterday’s arrests of members of a Hamas terrorist-cell operating within Denmark, who are plotting the mass-murder of Jews […]

10 Dec 23   This from a friend in Western Europe:   “As soon as an Islamic terrorist commits an act of violence over here, all while yelling ‘Allahu Akbar,’ he is instantly (re)defined as ‘mentally ill,’ and our media assures us that this person ‘does not represent the majority of Islamics.’   When the […]

20 Nov 23   News from NYS:   The newly-implemented NYS “Ammunition Background Check System” is (to no one’s surprise) an abomination of bureaucratic ineptitude, that was purpose-built to harass and inconvenience innocent NYS gun-owners, and accomplish nothing else.   In order to buy ammunition for any kind of gun, NYS residents now have to […]
