The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain!

As both of my website’s regular readers know, I am opposed to capital punishment. We should not kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary, and if we have a prisoner securely and permanently confined, to the point he is unable to resist his execution, then he is sufficiently helpless enough that it is no longer …

WHY DO DEMOCRAT GARDENS KEEP DYING? The garden parable, Part Two

Some of you read my first garden parable. Big tomato plants. A city council. A row of dead vines. The council starved the best plants, the buyers left, and then they held a ribbon-cutting because the gap between the best plant and the worst plant was finally zero.

Everything was equal. Everything was also dead. A proud day for equity.

Best midterm strategy? Finish the job

What is the use of being president if you don’t do the job as you see fit?

Weather be damned, President Trump held a rally in Oklahoma to a full house. He told the crowd, “So I was in Texas. And they said, ‘Sir, I think we’re gonna have to cancel Oklahoma. The weather is terrible.’ You can’t take the helicopter, sir. You can’t take the plane. I said, ‘Why can’t they take?’ ‘Well, it’s a very long drive.’ And I said, ‘How long?’ They said, ‘It could be long, sir.’ I said, ‘How fast does the Beast travel?’ They said, ‘We could go close to 100 miles an hour.’ I said, ‘Get your asses in that car. We’re going to Oklahoma. We’re going to Oklahoma.’”

MOA vs. Mils: No, Mils Aren’t More Accurate

MOA vs. mils: no, mils aren’t “more accurate.” Math is math. They’re just beautifully idiot-resistant.

Tell Private Snuffy to add ½ and ¼ and you can smell the electrical fire. Tell him to add .3 and .5 and he can probably do it on his fingers. Suddenly the military’s love affair with mils makes perfect sense.

PRS speaks decimals. Traditional American riflemen speak fractions. Different dialects, same X-ring.

The Democrat Party and Its Hangers-on Are a Hive, Part II

This is Part II of a 3-part series that frames the Democrat Party (the “Left”) and its supporters as a hive – a metaphor that characterizes a decentralized but instinctively coordinated politically-driven collective that swarms in the same leftward direction, enforces conformity, and advances the Left’s collectivist goals without needing a formal conspiracy or central command for control purposes.

Part I described the Queen’s chamber, nervous system, worker caste, and stingers. This part covers the reproductive system, immune system, circulatory system, and communication system.

Presidential Marksmanship: Teddy, Ronnie, Barack, and the Day Dick Cheney Shot a Guy

Teddy Roosevelt hunted lions and elephants in Africa. Ronald Reagan looked perfectly comfortable shouldering a rifle aboard Air Force One. Barack Obama proved he could shoot skeet at Camp David. And Dick Cheney? Well, Dick Cheney shot a dude in the face… A brief, slightly irreverent tour through presidential firearms history—and a reminder that the Four Rules apply even when the Secret Service is standing nearby.

The World As We Don’t Know It

The world has changed. Europe, especially, is no longer the continent we think we are familiar with. We have enemies in places that few are aware of. Many in the United States no longer view Europe as the origin of our heritage.

There are now three distinct Europeans: the globalists in charge, the foreigners with no intention of assimilating, and the proud endemic people who wish to maintain their identity and freedom. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Killing Sweet Caroline

No matter what the sport, walk into any stadium or arena and the public address system takes you hostage. Announcements, hype tracks, synthetic energy are all layered into a nonstop sonic barrage that refuses to leave a single second of air unfilled.

THE PARABLE OF THE GARDEN: Or, how to destroy everything you built in five easy policy steps.

Let me tell you about a garden.

Not a metaphor about hope or healing or some poem you would find tacked to a kindergarten bulletin board. No. This is a garden about money, taxation, and the spectacular self-inflicted economic implosion of places like New York City and California. Stay with me.

The Great Reset of 2019: You Just Can’t See the Forest for the Trees

We have become experts on trees. Trump said something. Russia bombed something. China sanctioned something. The market moved, somebody posted something stupid, gas prices suck, and by lunchtime half the country is furious. But zoom out to December 2019 and a different picture emerges: COVID, debt, inflation, war, rearmament, economic fragmentation, broken supply chains and great-power competition. Maybe these aren’t separate crises at all, but chapters in the same historical transition. Call it the Great Reset. Call it World War III. Historians will decide what to name it. Our problem is simpler: we’re standing three feet from an oak tree arguing about the bark while the entire forest behind us is on fire.
