On the brink? Or over the abyss?
There has been much talk, from both sides, about whether or not this nation is on the edge of open civil war. E. M. Cadwaladr, writing in American Thinker this morning, seems pretty certain that we are: We and the Left are now two nations within one country. This is undeniable. We are now so different that […]

Texan round-up
There’s an old saw that advises: “Never ask anyone where he’s from. If he’s from Texas, he’ll tell you; if he’s not, don’t embarrass him.” I’m a native Texan with deep roots here, and I know that there are a lot of other Texans, both native and of the “came here as fast I could” […]
UPDATE: After hearing from Members of three different methods they’ve used with success to embed a video in a blog post, I’ve edited the FAQ to reflect them all. Thanks for all of the help. (4/7/19) We just posted a new instructional video showing how to embed a YouTube video in a post on the […]

Friday Rant 04-05-19
I just love it when the Demwits eat their own, don’t you? This week’s main course was the Crown Prince of Fools, Gropin’ Joe Biden. For years, the Left has ignored the disgusting behavior of bonehead Biden. PJW chronicled Creepy Uncle Joe’s borderline pedophilic conduct back in 2017. We’ve known since 2014 that the then VP got his […]

Guardrails
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, […]

Hair Trigger
*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 Price Of Liberty
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 […]

Pondering
I have been thinking about a particular thought experiment for the last few days. Essentially, my idea is an analogy for Intelligent Design. I won’t comment here how I feel about this or other things, but I figured I would share an idea and see how it is received. I bought a Zaxby’s salad […]

Tomorrow belongs to them…?
2016, Britain gets in the car, 2019, we realise the people driving are in brown shirts… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN7r0Rr1Qy I feel like the old guy looking on and despairing. To anyone who objects to using Nazi imagery about the EU, tough. The EU has just sub-contracted anti-Semitism to Hamas and other groups.

Fishing gone wrong.
Did I mention we have croc’s in Australia? These guys snagged a 2 foot barramundi. A very good tropical fish to eat but someone had bigger teeth. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-25/tales-from-the-tinny-crocodile-snatches-barramundi/10934606 That is not even a fully grown salt water crocodile. The guys lost lunch but got the film of the lifetime.

A drab, dreary day
It’s cold, grey, and rainy here in the Loudoun valley of Virginia. A perfect day to share a bottle of tequila with a bunch of database connection errors.
Here is another item from Rich Sugden about how pitch stabilizers work on large aircraft like the Boeing 737-8 MAX, which crashed in Ethiopia and the Lion Air flight from Indonesia that crashed into the Pacific prior to that. It does a good job describing how those systems work and how these most-recent iterations, i.e. […]
The dems have found a way to route around the electoral college without having to amend the Constitution. And there’s nothing we can do about it. https://pjmedia.com/trending/ohio-could-become-the-next-state-to-hand-its-electoral-votes-over-to-california-and-new-york/

30 Days at Sea in 10 Minutes
For your weekend enjoyment, my friends: a remarkable video that condenses 30 days at sea into 10 minutes. I got beside myself, all choked up and misty-eyed taking in this rare perspective on the magnificent, beautiful planet we are so fortunate to inhabit — a view that only mariners usually get to see. The opportunity […]
