Thank your GI

Today, I checked the temperature in the attic. 117 degrees Fahrenheit. I think about the GI's we have sent over to the hot sandbox. In addition to bugs and bullets, they are dealing with that kind of heat or more daily.

If you think that's not too bad, take your lawn chair up there and sit a while in shorts and a T-shirt. Then think about wearing/carrying boots, pants, jacket, flak vest, helmet, rifle, ammo, food, water, etc., and going for a hike around your attic.

Yeah, thank your GI!

Smoky Mountain Rapist gets 27 years

The rascal was already in prison, had been there before, and preyed on this woman in the Park. The law got him, after the fact. Knoxville and Farragut disarm victims before the fact. Read my Examiner commentary HERE.

Lessons from Ferguson, Missouri

Here are some points to ponder, when considering the last week+ in Ferguson, in no particular order.

  • If you are considering getting a defensive firearm, don't wait until you need it.
  • The police were not available to protect stores. Do you think that in a major calamity, they will prioritize on you?
  • Whether the officer was justified in shooting or not, his life is forever changed.
  • The bullet hits shown in the autopsy report on TV last night would be consistent with flinching. A right-handed shooter will often place shots to the lower left. If the young man was charging the officer, as one report stated, the first shots to the lower left would have been followed by the shots that got higher, culminating in the lethal shot into the head.
  • Some ask, why so many shots. The simple answer is that in a defensive situation (assuming that to be the case here), one shoots until the threat ceases.
  • A firearm or two with ammunition, emergency food supply, and water, are always in good order.
  • Civil order can deteriorate very quickly.

Nip it in the bud

I am not so naive as to believe any action on the part of the US Government against radical Islamists will have everlasting consequences. But, when it comes to fighting the Jihadi's who want to destroy us, here are some observations.

  1. They (Jihadi's) hate Israel and they hate us. No, I am not painting all members of Islamic faiths with the same brush
  2. We are still too dependent on their oil
  3. Armies, including ISIS, do not get bullets and beans ex-nihilo. Someone has to supply the money
  4. Not all in item one are willing to die for their cause, but will spend billions for the cause
So, instead of just sending a few JDAM's at combatants at the front, the United States should, additionally
  1. Make haste to develop our own realistic (forget solar and wind) energy sources, rather than be at the behest of OPEC
  2. Declare all money, food, and munitions suppliers to the Jihadi's to be a Clear and Present Danger to the United States
  3. Send some of the same airmail that the Jihadi's are receiving to these individuals, cartels, etc.
  4. In spades
The jihadi's and their patrons* must learn to fear us more than they hate us. Then, as Jefferson and Reagan demonstrated, they will leave us alone for a while. 

Anything less assures our eventual destruction.

Caution about guns in airports

Be careful. Having a gun in your carry-on in Knoxville is bad. Trying to legally check one in New Jersey or New York can be so much worse. Read more HERE.
