Memphis Belle: Somewhere in Bluff City

by

Memphis, Tennessee. A cafe. The kind with vinyl booth cushions, all patched up with duct tape. I’m in town to make a speech.

She is my waitress. Her name is on her nametag. She smiles at me after she asks how I want my eggs.

Her teeth are bad. Real bad. There’s probably a story here. I’d wish I knew the rest of it.

Shockingly Underreported News and Commentary for the Week of 30 August

by

This is the fifth post in the ongoing weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.

Michigan Adds Another Felony Because You Used an iPhone

by

I learned something while sitting on a Michigan jury that sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole: Michigan can separately criminalize using a computer to commit a crime. In 2026, when your phone, truck, watch, bank, doorbell and possibly your toaster are computers, that starts sounding suspiciously like an enhancement for breathing oxygen while committing a crime.

PART I — Eden: God’s Dwelling, Humanity’s Calling, and the Story We Flattened Into a Coloring Book

by

Most Christians think Eden was a perfect, universal paradise. But Genesis never claims that. The Bible says God “planted a garden in Eden” (Gen. 2:8), a sacred space inside a larger region. Ezekiel calls it “the mountain of God” (Ezek. 28:13–14). Eden was God’s dwelling place, not a global utopia. Only inside Eden did God walk with humanity (Gen. 3:8). Outside the garden lay the rest of the earth—good, but not yet sacred space. The story starts with geographic holiness, not widespread perfection.

Baghdad NYT: ‘A More Confident Iran Emerges After Six Months of War With the U.S.’

by

That was the headline in the New York Times. The sub-headline read, “New intelligence reports have assessed that Iran now has a far better understanding of its capabilities and the limits of U.S. power.”

Fact-check: Well, yes if you consider they now realize their capabilities are nada, non-existent, zilch. The Persian Army has more power and it disappeared in a sandstorm west of Thebes 2,551 years ago.

9-11: 25 Years of Valor and Fatal Foolishness

by
9/11/2001: What A Difference 24 Years Make!!!

The Muslim terror attack on 9-11 brought a fleeting moment of WW2-like national unity. A week later, I wrote the first and best op ed of the 1000 plus to follow: “One Front, Two Wars”. Our Homeland is one front where the Great U.S. Culture War and the War between Western Civilization and a resurgent Islam that breeds radicals and rage are fought.

I knew ”the adrenaline cocktail of shock, fear and anger intoxicates only for a season”.

Artisan Forgiveness: Running Up Dad’s Mountain

by

Morning in Manitou Springs, Colorado. My sister and I have a rental cabin located near the base of Pikes Peak. I am sitting on a picnic table outside our cabin, drinking crappy instant coffee, finishing my third chocolate bar.

My sister brought the chocolate. It’s artisan chocolate. She is asleep in the cabin right now. She’s not going to be happy when she awakes and finds out I’ve eaten all her fancy chocolate. I will undergo one of her famous improvised gender reassignment operations.

A Title Can Make You the Boss. It Cannot Make You a Leader.

by

I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count.

Someone works hard, gets results, and finally receives the promotion they’ve been chasing. They get a new office, a new title, and maybe even a shiny new nameplate on the door.

And somewhere along the way, they make a dangerous assumption: Now I’m a leader.

Not necessarily.

Dad’s Permanent Trailer Plate Has Entered the Surveillance State

by

Dad thought “permanent trailer plate” meant permanent. Government apparently meant, “until you buy another trailer, peasant.” For generations, recycling an old trailer plate was the kind of technically-wrong rural economics nobody noticed unless a cop had an actual reason to look. Today, cameras, databases, and algorithms potentially can notice—and remember—things no human officer ever would have bothered with.

That raises a bigger question than Dad’s Great Trailer Plate Crime Spree: **When technology makes it possible for government to notice nearly everything, should it?**

Working Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #110: Multiculturalism Is Code For Getting Rid Of White People

by

In my area it is very white working class. The woke local authority starting recruiting directly from Africa! Try interviewing white rural families when they don’t understand a word you’re saying, and then go back and tell the manager (me) that the family were racist and non compliant!

The FOBbit: How the Army Turns Warriors Into PowerPoint-Slinging Indoor Cats

by

The Army has a remarkable ability to take a perfectly functional warrior, promote him a few times, hand him three computer monitors, and turn him into a PowerPoint-slinging indoor cat. Thus begins the evolution of the FOBbit: that mysterious creature who once went outside the wire but now survives on RFIs, synchronization meetings, Green Beans coffee, and Baskin-Robbins. The real horror comes when you finally look down at your ice cream, look at your clean uniform, hit “Send” on another 1600 suspense, and realize the terrible truth: Oh, $h!tt! I’m the FOBbit.
