Teddy Roosevelt Built a Nation of Riflemen. Then Democrats Tried to Kill It.

by

Theodore Roosevelt believed America was stronger when ordinary citizens knew how to shoot. For nearly a century, the federal government agreed—supporting the DCM, the National Matches, and even helping selected junior riflemen travel to Camp Perry to represent their states. Then came the 1990s, when Washington decided a program designed to create disciplined American marksmen was something that needed to be “terminated.” They killed the old DCM, but they failed to kill American marksmanship. The CMP survived—and the riflemen kept shooting.

Operation Let Them Speak Is Underway: Blue State Idjiotic Politics Exemplified By Their Big Tent And The DSA

by

My favorite among tough competition is his campaign motto for the republicans in 2026 that he has been touting for several years now called “Operation let them speak,” which is an upgrade of his long-standing plan focused on highlighting the idjiotcy of AOC.

Being Older Means Being Lucky; And Maybe Even Legendary

I received the commentary below from the son of a WW II Marine who was killed in action on Iwo Jima and who was awarded a Purple Heart and Navy Cross posthumously. He and I exchange emails on topics of interest—most often related to the military, social issues, politics, and the state of our nation. We are both veterans who have grave concerns about the future of America.

When Elections Lose Legitimacy

by

The collapse of a republic rarely begins with tanks in the streets or dramatic constitutional crises. More often, it begins with a far quieter question: Can we trust our elections? Once citizens lose confidence in the process that grants political authority, every institution built upon that authority begins to crack. Courts become suspect, laws become negotiable, and political opponents become enemies. A nation can survive bitter policy disagreements. It cannot survive indefinitely if its citizens no longer believe their government derives its authority from legitimate elections.

At some point it has to be asked: how stupid can people be?

by

The Lexington Police went from saying Sunday morning that they “have no updates” on the mass shooting at Charles Young Park to the (alleged) shooter being in jail Sunday evening. I suppose that’s the kind of thing the police do to not alert the suspect that they are hot on his heels.

18-year-old arrested, charged with murder and assault after shooting at Lexington park

By Valarie Honeycutt Spears | Monday, August 17, 2026 | 4:34 AM EDT | Updated: 9:09 AM EDT

An 18-year-old man was arrested Sunday and charged with killing one and injuring four in a mass shooting, according to the Lexington Police Department.

No, of course the Lexington Herald-Leader did not publish the suspect’s mugshot, but WLKY did, and one of my electronic friends tweeted it out to the world.

Goodbye Lawyers: The Last Billable Hour

by

The horse didn’t disappear when the automobile arrived. It simply stopped being essential. Artificial intelligence may be forcing the legal profession into a similar reckoning. When a $20 monthly subscription can research case law, organize evidence, draft motions, and explain legal procedure, the age of the billable hour may finally be facing its greatest challenge. Somewhere, an attorney is still billing in six-minute increments while AI has already finished the paperwork.

Our Killadelphia posts have decreased in frequency since the bad old days of 2021 and 2022, and naturally the city’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, claims that his policies are working, but it’s never a surprise when one killing leads to another in the City of Brotherly Love. Shooting of Philly …

I’m sorry Honey, this M14 followed me home! Can I keep it?

by

Nearly 750,000 U.S. M14 rifles were destroyed after the Cold War, many meeting their end at Anniston Army Depot in the jaws of a hydraulic shear known as “Captain Crunch.” Now, history is taking a different path. Beginning in January 2027, the CMP expects to offer permanently converted semi-automatic M14s to qualified Americans for under $2,000. Every rifle sold preserves a piece of American military history while helping fund junior shooting programs, Camp Perry, scholarships, and the future of competitive marksmanship. Sometimes, the best way to honor history isn’t to put it in a museum—it’s to put it back on the firing line.

“The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!” And so are the Social Democrats!

In 1966, the year I returned from almost 4 years of active service with the U.S. Army Security Agency in West Germany, a new movie was released called “The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming.” Directed by Norman Jewison, the film centers on a Soviet submarine, the “Sprut,” that accidentally runs aground on a …

The Evergreen Tree: When a Pine Became a Warning Label for Tyrants

by

Long before Americans argued about flags on social media, our ancestors managed to make a tree politically dangerous. Britain reserved many of New England’s great white pines for the Royal Navy—even trees growing on colonial lands—marking them with the King’s Broad Arrow. The pine became a symbol of something much bigger: ownership, natural rights, independence, and the stubborn belief that free citizens had both the right and responsibility to defend their country. That’s why an evergreen ended up beneath the words “AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN.”

Owning the Woke WNBA: A real man finally stood up for not forcing girls to wrestle males

Don’t Recognize Islam As a Religion

Oil And Water: Islam And Christianity

Islam doesn’t rise to the level of a real religion in Western Civilization. It’s at the same level of civilization as the Aztec religion. No one should treat it the same as the other religions in Western Civilization – Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant Christianity, Judaism, and Secular Humanism. (Yes, Secular Humanism is a religion. A modern paganism, but still a modern faith that supports a totalitarian ideology). Moreover, Islam is an ideology, identity, and a complete, backward, barabaric culture which is the inherent, implacable, irredeemable enemy of Western Civilization.
