Well, I am sort of late to the party here, but forgive me since I have a lot of irons in the fire of late. Anyway, TADA! I am co-hosting a new podcast! For my readers that have been with me for a while, you might have checked out any number of the weekly shows... Continue Reading →
Mob Violence: You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet
If you think you saw the worst of what the ingrates and Marxist malcontents have to offer in the summer of 2020, buckle up. Come election season the factions that be, who wish to de-stabilize society so that the sheep who vote for them will cry for a police state, will be whipping up the... 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...

I always have a Soft-T Wide tourniquet in my pocket, but when doing activities that are more dangerous than usual I have an ankle kit that carries a tourniquet, packing gauze,... Continue Reading →
Focusing on the Essential Arsenal
The past two years have witnessed a dearth of ammunition availability and sky-high prices on anything that actually is available. Likewise, guns themselves were hard to find for a long time, although that particular shortage has greatly subsided at the time of this writing. I suspect that the ammunition crisis will not subside for some... Continue Reading →
