Now People (Not Guns) Kill People?
For ages, we’ve been lectured guns kill and injury people by themselves. Now the same people are saying people actually shoot people. Who would have thought it?
No, This Is Not How The Market Works.
The people, through the market, did not demand Obamacare. And they most certainly do not demand mandated electric vehicles.
The Justice Thomas Affair.
The most recent outrage from the usual suspects; Justice Clarence Thomas likes to go fishing and relaxing with other people.
How Our Adversaries Think.
Americans need to see what our adversaries read, watch and absorb so we can best understand how to best engage them. A factory worker in Moscow is reading this morning’s Pravda. A Harvard professor is reading the same newspaper. The difference? The man in Moscow knows he’s getting lied to. A cartoon published circa 1990, …
Law Enforcement “Experts” Are At It Again
Law Enforcement “Experts,” people who have never been cops but know how to handle every situation, but have never actually been put in the arena.
Couldn’t Have Happened More Deserving People
Liberals want you to pay your “fair share”, but not them. My greatest annoyance with liberals is the purebred hypocrisy of them. How many flies’ a private jet or always first class, but lecture middle/lower class people about using gas- or diesel-powered cars to work or vacation. Or complain about “the rich” not paying their …
Another Major Sign Law Enforcement Is In Trouble
Law Enforcement is in major trouble. Police work is getting worse, and the politicians are not helping.
More Examples Of “We Can’t Be This Stupid, Can We?”
More Examples Of “We Can’t Be This Stupid, Can We?” Or…The more we don’t use qualifications and merit, the worse off we will be.
“Why Not The Best?” Has Become The Worst
Sometimes, actually, more often than not, the “Best and the Brightest” are the worst and the dimmest. And it shows.
The Police Are Short-The Politicians Are Not Helping
Between the micromanagement, the 20/20 hindsight judgements and the “help,” from the politicians, people don’t want to be cops anymore. In an earlier post on AFNN I made the point that Body Worn Cameras (BWC) have, for the most part, been a positive for policing. More times than not, when an alleged infraction occurs, it …

Mike Thiac on the death in police custody of Tyre Nichols
As a sworn law enforcement officer with over 3 decades of experience, I have few comments on the death in police custody of Mr. Tyre Nichols.
Drone sales, diplomacy, deployment, and force projection
Chemical weapons are called the poor man’s atom bomb. The drone is becoming the poor man’s carrier. A three-year-old meme on Facebook discussing the death of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani shows how force projection has changed in the last few decades: Sucks to be him. And I don’t question there were a few more people in the loop …
Evidence Collection; A Two-way Street.
Evidence collection is two-way street that should never be used in such a way to discourage true victims from coming forward.
GOP Leadership?
With each election cycle that passes, the Republican Party leadership shows itself ever more worthless. My involvement in politics has been, like most Americans, somewhat limited. I vote regularly, put out signs and stickers of candidates I support, and occasionally send donations in. Now until the late 2000s I would send an occasional donation to …
A Vigilante And Other Language Problems
How is it a man defending people in a restaurant is a “vigilante,” but thousands of people rioting, killing people and destroying property are “protesters?” The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language. George Bernard Shaw The late Rush Limbaugh had a great quote, “Words mean things.” He had …

Did More Carrying Of Firearms Lead To More Murders?
Anti-gun zealots claimed Right to Carry or Constitutional Carry would lead to massive rise in crime-more murders. The evidence doesn’t show that.
