7 June 24   Our DTI Web Page at defense-training.com is back up, and “normal,” once again!   Our Web Host (Godaddy) was unable to explain, in any intelligible manner, why it was “suspended” yesterday.     I can only assume, like most “woke” employers these days, they employ an army of incompetent and erstwhile unemployed […]

6 June 24   “We Own the Streets!”   In Marxist ideology, an “army” is required to impose (by force) classic feudalistic dogma upon innocent citizens.   It’s the strategy ever employed by Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, and many others among the beasts of history.   For our current gaggle of “vain and ambitious” […]

19 May 24   2024 NRA Show, last day   Attendance at this year’s NRA Show was significantly lighter than in past years, according to people with whom I talk.

18 May 24   NRA Show, Second Day   Today, DJT spoke, as promised. We did not personally attend, but he received NRA’s enthusiastic official endorsement, as expected.

8 May 24   Few things in this world upset me more than witnessing unworthy scum-bags desecrating/vandalizing our nation’s national monuments, particularly our war memorials!   These craven buffoons, none of whom ever served their country, are unfit to stand in the shadow of heroes who fought and died, along-side me, in Vietnam!   Their […]

4 May 24   “It never troubles a wolf how many the sheep be!”   Plato   A long-time friend, currently living in the LA area, called yesterday expressing concern for the physical safety of himself and family.   He is Jewish, and like most of my Jewish friends, not particularly religious.

1 May 24   “In the City of Constance (present-day southern Germany) on 6 July 1415, John Hus was burned at the stake by the Catholic Church for the ‘heresy’ of criticizing corrupt Church practices that were not supported by Scripture (much as Martin Luther did a century later).   Curiously, Hus’ personal safety had […]

21 Apr 24   “In the land of the deaf, you have to shout!   Flannery O’Connor   The “Right People!”   In the interest of full-disclosure, I surely qualify as one of HRC’s hated “Deplorables,” and I have clearly failed to live-up to her standards, so my perspective is thus likely not one that […]

Who does nothing is always wrong!”   Canadian General Julian Byng, 1917   Here we go in April, 2024!   Hold-on tight!   Iran’s conspicuous (and ongoing) missile-attack upon Israel today may be just a diversion.
