Fact checking the fact checkers! (Snopes, Re: CO2 of volcanoes)

See the picture above?  If you can’t see it clearly, you may need to view it at its original place I found it on facebook, here:  https://www.facebook.com/livingstonfortrump/photos/a.2132767616942595/2396013813951306/?type=3&theater I have often seen this claim made, and I have even tried to make this claim myself, believing it to be true. I have been told by a […]

My Evening With Bill and Hillary

First off, please put down your coffee, adult beverage, or anything else you may be drinking before reading this. Brother Bob assumes no liability for any “Made me spit out what I was drinking on my monitor/laptop” moments here. Drinks down? OK, good. Last Saturday I took Sister Babe out to see Bill and Hillary […]

Bill no longer flying?

Did I hear Bill correctly … in one of the latest Stratosphere Lounge episodes that he is no longer flying his own plane or being a pilot?

Successful CRS-17 Night Launch

There are some very good video views of the flight in SpaceX’s own record. They are getting better at the production, including a flawless view of the landing on the barge, without telemetry dropouts. It was a completely nominal flight, and the capsule is on its way to berth with the ISS on May 6th, […]

A word from Rudyard Kipling on the current madnesses

About a dozen blog posts this past week have brought to mind this poem by Rudyard Kipling, so I figured I might as well post it for those who haven’t yet read it. He was a fairly astute fellow, was Kipling. The Gods of the Copybook Headings AS I PASS through my incarnations in every […]

Apologies

I find that I’m spending much more time watching BW videos on TV than on the website. It’s not because I’m ignoring the community, I’m really just lazy. After working for several hours on the computer every day, sitting on the couch is much more comfortable than staying in my computer chair, plus the screen […]

In Requiem, Western Civilization.

When I was a youngster, I got bullied. A lot. I was slight, scrawny, bookish and not terribly intimidating. As a result, I was seen as an easy target. And I was. Due to the abusive situation I faced at home (my father was an alcoholic and an abuser, my mother was an alcohol abuser […]

Separation of Church and State.

Since the last presidential campaign, and President Trump’s promise to build a wall on our southern border, I’ve seen several memes showing a Church and a Capitol building with a large brick wall between them, and the caption “Build THIS wall”. The context is always the same. “Keep your filthy Christianity away from my precious, […]

Another day, another…

*Sigh* Another day, another smug gun control post. I’m getting very tired of being lectured to by self-righteous, self-satisfied cretins, who haven’t got even the most basic knowledge of firearms or gun laws. Thanks to Hollywood, the media, liberty hating politicians, and the Gun Control Lobby, most people hear the term “semiautomatic rifle”, and think […]

The Battle of the Ages

“This truly is a watershed moment, not just for Britain, but for the whole of Europe.” I hate to break it to you, Pat, but the whole world is watching. In truth, the whole of the world will live or die depending on whether you guys fight your way out from under the globalist gangsters […]

The Model 1866 Chassepot

The technological leap from muzzle-loading rifles to breech-loading rifles can be seen clearly in the Chassepot, of which a million and a half were eventually produced. Ian McCollum discusses it in this video. The impact on warfare was enormous.

Time to Feel Good

Larry Kudlow on Fox Business discusses the ever-most-excellent position the United States finds itself in due to the Trump Economic Boom.     As an aside, it would seem that Larry has recovered very well from the heart attack he suffered on June 12th of last year. He looks and sounds very good.

History Guy: Vincent van Gogh

Are all artists doomed to make their impact (and income) post-humously? It seems so, in most cases — and even in the very father of modern art.

A Message to the Legacy News Media

The band Electric Light Orchestra was everywhere at the end of the 1970s, and few songs are as well-known as this one: That song, released in 1979, is of course very recognizable. But here is another, released in 1981 (well after their peak popularity), that I’ll bet not many of you remember:
