Red Flag Laws, as currently enacted by several States, and as proposed in Congress permit a court to suspend your civil rights on the strength of indefinite, hearsay evidence, and do not provide for the defense by the respondent, nor even notifying the respondent, prior to execution. The right to keep and bear arms is […]
A pilot friend sent me this URL to a YouTube video that seems very instructive about how the various automatic horizontal stabilizer systems interrelate and how that seems to link the cause of both the Ethiopian crash with the Lion Air Java Sea crash earlier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgkmJ1U2M_Q&feature=youtu.be I’ll update more when anything comes my way.
I ran into a few images lately that help to give an appreciation of how all the various existing, developing, and conceptual space launching systems compare. Of course, size doesn’t always translate directly into payload capacity, but it’s a good general indicator of oomph (this is a technical term I like to use). Here is […]
There was a recent article claiming sea level rise is increasing and is worse on the East Coast of the US. Of course, this sounds really frightening, till you stop to think that 30 years ago, it was predicted that Wall Street would be under water by now. Tony Heller offers up some inconvenient facts… […]
There are nearly 45 million reasons for the opportunities most of us have enjoyed over the last 75 years. 658 thousand of them died fighting wars to preserve my liberty and yours. Another 1.5 million of them sacrificed their limbs, their health and their fortunes for the cause of life, liberty and the opportunity to […]
DO AMERICANS REALLY WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON… SOCIALISM? How many of us do you suppose the parasites, the likes of Antifa and BLM and the elitist politicians in Washington are willing to imprison or murder to acquire and hold positions of power? Can’t happen, you say? Statism, called by other names such as […]
Scott Kordella, Director of Outer Space Systems at Mitre, wrote an interesting op-ed that appeared in the March 11th print issue of SpaceNews magazine. He tries to look ahead to the challenges that are already cropping up as private industry moves into the realm of space. This isn’t a subject to be laughing off. America, […]
Six-term US Representative from Minnesota Gil Gutknecht writes on Townhall that the Jeep Super Bowl ad reflected an America that will not only re-elect President Trump to a second term, but will stand up in a wave to hand him a 45-state slam dunk victory. All elections boil down to fairly simple questions. The next […]
It is the greatest understatement of all time: we are poorly served by our employees in Congress. Brian Lonergan, writing in American Greatness this morning, brings some some numbers to light on the desperate situation we find ourselves in vis-a-vis the so-called “Democratic Party”. Apparently, all but six in the House of Representatives (whom do […]
Time to break out the pot and get started on corn beef and cabbage! My technique is quite possibly the simplest cooking known to man: put corned beef, red potatoes, baby carrots, and a full-size cabbage cut into quarters in a pot of water. Boil half the day. Pour a glass of Guiness, and eat! […]
The Washington state senate just passed a bill requiring all persons running for office to make public the last five years of their tax returns. Rick Moran of American Thinker reports today on this lawless, corrupt, and brazen attempts by Democrats to disenfranchise voters: Democrats are fond of reminding us recently that presidents are not […]
Have you ever stopped to think about how grateful you should be that starting your car isn’t as hard as it was in your grandfather’s time (or your great-grandfather, as the case may be)? Today, it’s purely reflex to get in, make sure it’s in park (or neutral), and twist a key (or push a […]
As part of my Lenten disciplines, I’ve begun practicing the KonMari method on my small corner of the house. A little over a week in and I’ve emptied my bedside table, replaced it with the small set of shelves from under my window (to create a prayer nook), emptied and removed a larger bookcase, and […]
I read a startling article on climate change this week. The title was something like significant sea level rises have been recorded in Houston and I believe it was Louisiana or Mississippi. I did not get to follow up as my Internet went down and I could not get to the link. What is troubling […]
Sam Roche, writing in American Greatness, notes that today is the day, in 44 BC, that the Roman Senate assassinated Julius Caesar. And then go goes on to note the many similarities between Caesar’s tasks and Donald Trump’s tasks. While his assassins claimed to have freed the Roman Republic from a tyrannical Dictator for Life, […]
