Unless you live in make-believe world (which half our nation seems to do) you should realize that our state of affairs is deteriorating. The current political regime is, intentionally, destroying the nation by fostering unmitigated illegal invasion of the country. Not only can our economic system not absorb this influx, but the number of bad... Continue Reading →
Lawlessness by Design
Our nation has a history of social breakdown leading to sweeping crime and lawlessness. The Los Angeles Riots in 1992 saw the eruption of violence following a particular police action, and the city pulled its law enforcement back and allowed the rioters free reign for a long period of time, resulting in the death of...

Begging for Mercy from the Merciless
Few movies offer anything worth seeing when it comes to real world self-defense, but there are a few exceptions. One such film is No Country for Old Men. This film is not exceptional in its gun play or action, though it is quite good overall, but it is a must see for anyone who takes... Continue Reading →
The Increasing Attacks on Houses of Worship
I assure you that the amount of violence at houses of worship is at an all-time high in the United States. As of this writing, there were four just this week. You might have heard about the one at the Joel Olsteen Church in Texas, but you only heard about it because it happened at... Continue Reading →
Body Language for Criminal De-Selection
There are certain body language cues that violent criminal actors look for in selected victims. There have been extensive studies conducted on imprisoned felons to determine what physical traits they seek when choosing victims on the street.

The Ryan Carson murder in New York City, just one of many slayings that exemplify the failings of such leadership, was quite horrific in a number of ways. For those unfamiliar, Ryan Carson was a known activist who... Continue Reading →
Interview on Warrior Life about Mindset
I was recently a guest on the excellent Warrior Life podcast, speaking with Jeff Anderson about mindset. We specifically discussed the themes of mindset as laid out in my book, 21st Century Minuteman. This is probably the most in-depth discussion I have had on how to attempt to teach mindset, which is a much more... Continue Reading →
Fanaticism Comes Home
It is not at all difficult to understand how fanaticism manifests abroad when it also so easily bubbles to the surface even in our nation, a relatively stable institution, sheltered by oceans, military might, and prosperity. I am dumbfounded by the virulent passion of certain individuals, on either side, of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. This is... Continue Reading →
To Get Good at Something, Get Good at Two Things
Pictured is a Fender Stratocaster and a Glock 26. Obviously, I am a traditionalist. I have found a consistent theme among shooters who are really good; they are usually really good at a second thing too. There is a benefit to diversity in pursuits. This phenomenon is not confined to shooting, a lot of top... Continue Reading →
Emotionally Driven Weaklings: The Most Dangerous of People
While there may not be any absolute solution to any given problem in society, thus far we have a solution to mass shootings that is quite effective, at least in educational facilities. There have been no active killer attacks in school districts that have armed teachers staff. Not a single one. There have been attacks... Continue Reading →
