[July 29, 2024] With a swift hand-twist and pushing forward on the slide, my M1911 .45 caliber pistol is now ready to fire. As regular readers know, I grew up with guns, mostly shotguns and rifles, but also with the understanding of how to use them, stressing safety, target practice, proper storage, and the rules of proper gun… Read More »
[July 28, 2024] I think it’s a requirement for boys in high school PE to participate in boxing. It’s one of those ‘expand your horizons’ classes that is supposed to make us better. That first day, we were given the rules – no hitting below the belt – and a fast lesson in technique – hit fast and… Read More »
[July 27, 2024] In the three years VP Kamala Harris was put in charge of the border by President Joe Biden, Harris was called the ‘Border Czar’ and never challenged the title.

[July 26, 2024] One of my personality traits as a kid was going out of my way to be nice to others. Dr. Jordan Peterson would say I was “agreeable,” one of the big five identifiable personality traits. I will say this now as a lesson to everyone: I had to suppress this trait once I became an… Read More »
[July 25, 2024] In 2021, the White House announced the creation of the American Rescue Plan as President Biden’s $1.9 Trillion plan to “provide direct relief to Americans, contain COVID-19, and rescue the economy.”1 What could possibly go wrong?

[July 24, 2024] President Joe Biden disappeared from the public eye seen since last Thursday where he announced that he was terminating his run for a second term. He just showed up yesterday. Is that a problem? Yes! The tradition of practical and moral governance requires active leader participation in all the important affairs of their citizenry. Americans… Read More »
[July 23, 2024] There is a coming DEI war in America, and the results will not be pretty. With Joe Biden backing out of his re-election campaign, VP Kamala Harris, a “black woman,” is the obvious choice of those who believe in the DEI ideology. Kamala Harris is now the standard bearer for DEI, and those opposing her… Read More »
[July 22, 2024] In an interesting article by Matt D. Kittle of The Federalist, he writes that Donald Trump’s VP pick will never forget the “cast aside and forgotten.” This is not a new political theme, but this time, the idea seems to have taken off in a speech by J.D. Vance. At the Republican National Convention in… Read More »
[July 21, 2024] I liked nothing more than riding my motorcycle out on the open road, headed to nowhere in particular. I’m just riding with the wind in my face. It was freedom like I’d never had at another time or place. I couldn’t explain it either, but going faster than a bicycle or a car was more… Read More »
[July 21, 2024] President Joe Biden just announced that he is withdrawing from his candidacy for a second term “for the good of the country.” Readers know that I am one of those who had hoped he would stay in the race, not because Trump could beat him, but because that is how we Americans can see the… Read More »
