A discussion was happening on a gun forum about the ‘what would you do’ kinda thoughts when seeing events on the news. This is good to do because a lot of those questions need to be answered BEFORE the situation comes up. Ok. What I was discussing was the concept of planning vs. doctrine. You […]

Pachinko Parlors and such…
Planned Parenthood receives a lot of federal funding but continues to say that that funding is not being used to fund abortion operations… I am reminded of the pachinko parlors I went into in Okinawa. I think they legalized gambling in Japan last year but, back then it illegal. The pachinko parlors had a pass though […]
America and Communism
I was in a Twitter conversation yesterday with some folks… This is the tweet that started the whole thread: pic.twitter.com/OsaHoGxQJ7 — real tankie hours (@tankietakes) June 22, 2017 The fact that the guy flip-flopped his stance to agree with someone else is what caught my attention…lol. Either he flip-flopped, or he has no clue that […]
Stopped Turning…
Where were you? I drove to work like I always did. I have (in my mind) entirely too much good music on my iPod to be listening to the radio. Besides, they don’t play my kinda music on the radio much at all.
The last Monday in May…
On behalf of myself and my fellow veterans, I want to say how appreciative we are that our service is recognized favorably. There have been times in our nation’s history when this was not the case as a general rule. It is a good environment to be a veteran nowadays. On Memorial Day weekend, everyone […]

Natural causes?
The scene is set. Mid April, 1775. The British had been routed at Lexington and Concord by colonial militia. The British regulars, initially, had the upper hand against the colonists but as the engagement went on, colonists descended on the area and the British turned and made their way back towards Boston under heavy harassment.
God Bless America?
I see this bumper sticker all over the place. I get it. You’re a christian AND patriotic. Cool. America used to be a christian nation. I think it still is to a certain extent. But let’s look at some things that America has done.
Veterans get the hookup!
My wife surprised me a while back. I had made comments about how it would be neat to have Marine Corps license plates on my truck. ‘Vanity’ plates are not cheap in Texas. The ones my wife wants have the three crosses where the Marine Corps seal is on the example below…but they cost more […]
Happy 4th of July!
Today we celebrate the adoption of a document that was to become one of the most monumental entries in human history…The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. Something like that isn’t just a spur of the moment decision. This document listed grievances. All of which had previously been brought before the British Legislature and had returned […]
