I am a fifty-eight-year-old Christian, Conservative writer, currently making my living as a mailman. I love Jesus, my wife, my cats, America, guns, comicbooks, STAR TREK, STAR WARS, and pretty much all things nerdy.
This is not the country I grew up in. In America, people of good conscience could argue and fight, debate and disagree, sometimes vociferously, and still remain friends. Here in Amerika, things are different. In Amerika, the robust free exchange of ideas between rugged individuals has been replaced by the bleating conformity of the herd. […]
My wife and I saw Avengers: Endgame yesterday, and were blown away by it. Exciting, funny, poignant, a true spectacle, and a worthy finale had they chosen stop here. Like any movie, it’s not without its flaws and some bits don’t bear up to close examination, but what a ride! And it occurs to me […]
It’s been a couple of weeks since the Parkland Incident, and for the most part, I’ve kept my own counsel on the gun control debate, in the hope that time and distance would enable me to express my thoughts dispassionately. I use the term debate loosely, because the postings I’ve seen from both sides of […]
So, Trans Lesbianism is apparently a thing, now. For those of you who don’t know, a Trans Lesbian is a man, who identifies as a woman, but is still attracted To women. I have to admit, when I first heard of this, a few days ago, it pretty much pegged the needle of my absurdometer. […]
When I was growing up in the 1970s, we had long, cold and harsh winters. Days or even weeks of forty to fifty degrees below zero wind-chills were not uncommon. The fledgling Envirofascist Movement, under the guise of protecting the environment and saving the planet, warned that carbon dioxide emissions were bringing on an Ice […]
I was just reading a thread on a friend’s page, the gist of which was that if our government were to ever go full-blown tyrant, that a popular insurrection would stand no chance. That we, the people, with our handguns, shotguns, hunting rifles and AR-15s, would stand no chance against the might of the US […]
The two most American of holidays are Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. Traditionally, they have been days, when we Yanks celebrated and expressed our gratitude, for being blessed to live in the freest, strongest, most prosperous nation in world history. But, in recent years, I’ve been noticing a trend. As the Social Justice movement has been […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about what’s been happening in our society of late. Mass shootings, Antifa violence and now, sexual predation. Despite what we’re being told in ten second sound bites, we don’t have a Gun problem or a Man problem. What we have is a Morality problem. In the late 70s and 80s, […]
*With acknowledgement to the works of Bill Whittle Just when you think that Identity Politics has reached peak absurdity, the Social Justice Left manages to top themselves. I recently read an article in HEALTHLINE, about a safer sex manual written for the LGBTQIAP (silent E and sometimes Y) community, which posits that the word “vagina” […]
The shooting in New Zealand has brought the usual suspects out of the woodwork. It’s become Kabuki. Everyone puts on their mask and plays their part. The anti-gunners blame the NRA, President Trump and the Republicans, and demand that SOMETHING be done, whether it’s efficacious or not. Results don’t matter, DO SOMETHING! And that’s […]
There’s a phrase I’m hearing more and more these days. That phrase is “toxic masculinity”. Time was, qualities like ambition, assertiveness, competitiveness, decisiveness and self-control were considered to be manly virtues. Nowadays, they’re liabilities. The steely-eyed man, with a firm handshake and a bit of iron in his spine is thought to be a dangerous […]
One of the most lauded movies of 2018 was BLACK PANTHER. It even won a couple of Oscars. I liked it quite a bit and it deserved its accolades. There were those who said it should have won Best Picture, and that’s where I have to disagree. Because, as much as I enjoyed BLACK PANTHER, […]
I recently had an exchange with a Leftist, wherein he characterized all of us who value liberty and self-defense as “a bunch of weekend warriors with chips on our shoulders”, and no concept of the “common good”. When I pointed out that all the tyrants of history disarmed their citizenry before starting their extermination campaigns, […]
In recent weeks, the assault on traditional manhood has been intensified. The phrase “Toxic Masculinity” has been bandied about quite enthusiastically in the last couple of years. But, in the last month or so, there seems to be a full court press on the part of the Cultural Marxists and Intersectional Feminists (but, I […]
