Good morning, and welcome to a world of insanity. Nothing new, I admit, but the place is going bonkers even more rapidly than in the past.
Hamas, according to an Israeli analyst, has 3,000 “elite” soldiers ready to die in suicide attacks on Israel. No explanation as to why they have not yet done so, in order to reduce Israeli pressure on their civilian population (and military facilities) in Gaza. Continue reading

Good morning, and hope you are having a GREAT weekend!
Have to start with a FUN story. According to Tranzi, the UN is contemplating not just forcing Detroit to provide water free to residents, but forcing people to migrate from California due to the severe drought, which is expanding. The UN says that too many people live in California. The site reporting this thinks that would be a good thing – but living in areas which already have high rates of migration from the Left Coast, I can assure you that would be a disaster for the states where Californians flee, especially if it is into Palestinian-style refugee camps. For years, I’ve seen Californians who consider themselves “libertarian” or “conservative” move to Colorado, Wyoming, even South Dakota, where their views and actions are those of dyed in the wool statists and lovers of government, taxes, and mandates. YES, there are exceptions (like Mama Liberty), but she isn’t even a significant minority of these refugees from the “Golden State.” Still, this is funny: California is flooded with refugees and border jumpers from everywhere, and the UN wants to start deporting them to ????

Good morning, and stay cool and calm. Remember all those thugs are out there to protect us.
Like those Iowa Boy Scouts going into Alaska by road last week. A good voice-only interview with Scoutmaster Fox fills in a LOT of the details. Here is the interview; worth listening to. The Government is sowing the whirlwind. These Scouts DID learn a valuable civics lesson: their government treats them as terrorists, criminals, suspects, and threats. One of these times, the BP or TSA will run into a troop of Scouts who are NOT from Iowa and practice the old ways, and armed to the teeth, and ready and able to defend themselves with the handmade knives, hatchets (or tomahawks), black powder rifles and pistols, and more… And even some of THESE Scouts will grow up and join the Army to learn how to fight to restore liberty at HOME as well as abroad.

By what process do “children” become adults? How do people become responsible for themselves, rather than dependent on others for their lives and safety? What part does chronological age have to do with it?
We would all likely say that a two or three year old is incapable of exercising sufficient judgment to be trusted to hold or use a sharp object, let alone a gun – no matter how much one might attempt to teach them. To start with, most don’t have enough control of their muscles, but then there are the three year olds who play classical piano… Of course, that is the exception. I never met a prodigy like that myself, and my experience tells me toddlers have little impulse control either. Can I then assume that this is true for everyone, everywhere? Continue reading

Good afternoon. Some funny (sad-funny) things being said this week. Here are a few!
An Ohio Sheriff having to deal with border jumpers sucking his budget dry due to petty and not so petty crimes has had the gall to send a bill for their incarceration to the president of Mexico. And what happened? He got a A letter from the FedGov saying he had violated an 1790 treaty. Right. How funny can you get? Continue reading

Good morning, and hopefully a good week as well.
More from DC and the Nazgul. DC Police Chief will treat DC as a constitutional carry “state” following the court ruling, according to various reports. As Mama Liberty says: “If you believe this, you might be interested in buying some beach front property in Arizona… I most certainly would not be eager to test it. They’d find SOMETHING to get upset about, and probably kill you.” This matches my thoughts from yesterday. DC police have NO reason to support constitutional rights for any DC residents OR for anyone else visiting DC, and every reason to continue to abuse and tyrannize everyone possible. The solution here? End ALL of DC’s illegal and immoral laws on buying and owning guns: let people defend themselves. Continue reading
Good afternoon. Over the weekend, some stories showing how bad things are getting on the home front showed up, and I want to discuss them.
In Pennsylvania, a doctor shot a patient who killed a caseworker, using the gun kept in a wall display labeled “In case of emergency” in the medical office… NO, really, using his own personal weapon carried concealed (and against hospital edicts). Here is the USA Today story (which does disprove the claim by many people about this incident that NONE of the Mainstream Media were willing to report it): Continue reading

Good morning, and here are a few news stories from last week and over the weekend: this and that. Amazing what all is going on!
Raqqa, Syria is the new capitol of the ISIS caliphate in Syria and Mesopotamia (Iraq). The free people of Iraq are begging for American help to hold off the ISIS threat (how foolish of them). Meanwhile, the “free people” of neighboring Syria are more and more rallying to the victorious and bloodthirsty victors of the Islamic State. Whether it is religious-political fervor OR self-protective fear, the state is worshiped by these people as part of their practice of Islam. We can condemn them for this, but too many who claim to be “christian” or Jew do the same. Continue reading

One of the most exciting things for me as a firearms and self defense instructor, is seeing an increasing number of women, especially young people, becoming interested and starting the process toward responsible gun ownership.
Once they have some training, two questions come from most of them. “How do I choose a gun?” is the first. The second, and even more difficult to answer, is, “How in the heck do I carry this thing?” Continue reading
Libertarian Commentary on the News, #14-31B: thankfulness?
by Nathan Barton
Good afternoon, and join me in being thankful (to God) for the prosperity and liberty we still do have. Troubled as the Fifty States are, stagnant as our economy is, we have an abundance of both compared to too many people in history and too many people on the planet today. Not sayin’ that we should not have more, mind you. Just that we are better off than most. Continue reading →
