Hypersonic Engineering
Read the first sentence of the article. Here, I’ll quote it and add the two words that are necessary: “Russia on Tuesday claimed it had successfully test launched a new hypersonic interceptor missile system with a precision unmatched by any other country… for now.” Let’s take their claim at face value that this missile is […]

Pride Vs. Humility
Since this is supposedly the month where many celebrate pride, I offer you this poem written by Rudyard Kipling. Pride is considered a vice by some and the original sin by others. Some call it the queen of vices and others say it’s the vice of queens. The correlating virtue to pride is humility. Humility […]

Keeping It Real
A while back, I was told that my world-view, while sincere, is close-minded and lacks objectivity. Perhaps, there’s some truth to this, but I ask myself on a daily basis, “What if I’m wrong?” I strive to be intellectually honest enough, that if I’m proven wrong, I move to where the truth is. My beliefs […]

Terrorist Whisperer: Hamody Jasim
Hamody Jasim was a young Iraqi child (5 years old) when operation Desert Storm, “The 1st Gulf War” began in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. He grew up and survived, seeing and doing things in conditions that were beyond horrendous most Americans could not comprehend. He is another one of the people I think […]
Todays thought. That people keep believing the government will solve all your/our problems. They just need 800 million in tax dollars for X program for X city to get this started to help people. Stop believing the government is there to solve your problems, and stop thinking that its the federal governments job to take […]
Many people take this to mean that religion has no place in Government. WRONG. What this means is that the State (aka USA) should not have a state sponsored religion. Nor should religion be holding sway over public policy. An unelected body should not be dictating the policy of the United States. This does not […]

I Do Love My Country
We are an amazing country. This afternoon I sat in Qdoba Mexican restaurant eating some really good and affordable guacamole and watching regular raggedy people roll by in expensive new cars and new clothes and living the way people in most of the rest of the world can only dream about. How can you hate […]

A Teen’s Perspective on Tolerance
My 15 yr old daughter wanted to share her perspective on recent thoughts about tolerance. What do you think about her idea? During this graduation season, many speakers have been booed off campuses and schools (or worse) because they hold unpopular opinions. What’s puzzling is that people always do it in the name of “tolerance,” […]

Plague in Los Angeles
Claim that plague is probably already present in L.A. If there should be an outbreak of the bubonic form, pneumonic may not be far behind. That would be bad, very bad.

Peace in the Valley
Lately I’ve been driving back forth between my home in northern Virginia, and Pittsburgh, PA. Along I-70, in Fulton County PA you get this amazing view of this beautiful valley that’s a patchwork of farms and pastures. I’m not sure what the name of the valley is, but it’s just north of Bethel Township. In […]

Layers of defense
Our friend Kirsten Joy Weiss posted a new video on layers of self defense which includes a lot of basics that many of us overlook as we go through out busy lives. Great information or great review depending on your perspective.
The totalitarian moral busybodies are at it again. They are evil enough to use 1984 as an instruction manual rather than as a warning, but they seem to be stupid enough to spell out our plans to us in the style of a Saturday Morning Cartoon villain. Watch this video from “Big Think” and get […]
