Normal paperwork, and perhaps law enforcement, appears to be running a little slow these days. My registration sticker expired in the Spring. I got my inspection, but the tax assessor offices in Harris County are not open for business. Over the phone they told me to mail in proof of insurance, inspe...

RIP, Ruth Bader Ginsberg. And may we see a Constitutionalist take a seat on the Supreme Court. Agree with both sentiments. And from a optics standpoint, I think the Left would have a harder time opposing Judge Lagoa (the Floridian Cubana and mother of three daughters). I think they are already gear...

I get the West Coast secession scenario, but why would there then be a civil war? Let them go. Liberals from other major cities could move to the new "Peoples Socialist Republik of Kalifornia" so they wouldn't even need a patchwork of territory scattered about. Radio talk show guy correctly suggest...

So I know a nice young fella who has expressed an interest in getting his LTC. He has told me previously that he takes lithium for treating/controlling bipolar disorder.

The study suggests the US could reduce gun violence by lowering levels of gun ownership and pas...

Will all the valid, non-slavery reasons behind the south's secession be erased... My reading of history suggests the Deep South cotton states seceded mainly over slavery... they pretty much said so in their convention debate records. Border states like Tennessee and Virginia seceded later, and prob...

The one I carry most often is the Ruger SP101 DAO .357 snub.

https://www.wnd.com/2020/05/face-masks-social-distancing-forever-top-governor-makes-suggestion/ Wear masks forever if no vaccine for Covid. This is why they have been using the term "the new normal". They want us to get used to this idea. Are burkas next? Dunno, do burkas slow down coronavirus? In ...

W/o 2nd 1st goes away I think was the jest. Agreed. But Kent State is a bad example to discuss First Amendment issues, too. The assemblies were not peaceful. There had been arson, looting, and violence. It was a disaster waiting to happen. That's why it's a better example for private citizens on ho...

If anyone ever tells you "Only the government should have guns", ask them to describe what the government did with guns at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Ask them if they'd be okay with history repeating itself. Ask them if they want to rewrite the Second Amendment would they also rewrite th...

Having acquired whiskers, beeswax, and almond oil, I am fixing to manufacture and try out some homemade moustache wax.
