Challenger “Touches the Face of God” January 28th 1986

I was just a kid in 1986 and space travel and astronauts was very exciting. I remember watching the Challenger exploding and my young eyes not really believing what I was seeing. Then the leader of our nation got on television and put into words what a young heart couldn’t speak at the time.  Just 650 words, delivered in under 5 minutes comforted me and a grieving nation.  I consider myself lucky that the first President that I knew was Ronald Reagan…it is a pity that those who have followed him have been found wanting. The following article is from Savingourfuture.com and goes into greater detail about the Challenger crash and the man who soothed a nations grief. Twenty-nine years ago today, January 28, 1986, the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter Challenger exploded and broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members...

Tactical Christmas Stocking For The Gun Lover In Your Family

I like to wait until my Thanksgiving dinner is fully digested before I start thinking about Christmas shopping.  So no, you will not see me fight tooth and claw with a herd of wild animals on Black Friday, and ESPECIALLY not on Thursday night.  In fact I put the notion out of my mind completely until now or else I would have written about this item sooner. The NRA has up armored the traditional Christmas stocking and is selling it online for $25. I have to admit, while my naysayers may think I live in a bunker with camoflauge netting and sleep upon a pile of sandbags, the reality is that I don’t go for the “tactical everything in my life look.”  Because of that, I can see something like this and appreciate it’s kitschy coolness. I mean, who WOULDN’T want a desert tan, tactical black or olive drab...

Here’s Some Advice, STOP Moving Into Houses Run By HOA’s

Homeowners Associations may have started out with the best of intentions but have morphed into a ego driven, group think run, oligarchy of nosy nimwits who seem to, more often than not, hate America. As I had written earlier in the month, such a group in Indiana had fired a groundskeeper for having a gun at his OWN home. But this is not an isolated incident but rather a reflection of HOA’s and private communities who are run by people who think they can have their own fiefdom. Once again in Indiana, this time Fieldstone Homeowners Association has told Korean War Veteran, Bob Willits, that he cannot fly his American and POW/MIA flags in his OWN FRONT YARD. The HOA claims that it isn’t against the flag but that it is on a flag pole. Basically they are saying that they don’t have a problem with the flag being displayed…they...

Gun Control Can’t Stop Evil and Evil Exists

The fundamental flaw that has always plagued gun controllers is that they somehow believe that gun control will deter or stop criminals.  In truth it will only hamper the law abiding.  Evil, as it turns out, doesn’t give a hoot about laws or ethics or morality.  And have no doubt evil exists in the world in abundance. One need look no further than Scranton Pennsylvania and into the eyes of a demonic little 10 year old. From Liberty Unyielding: How unspeakable would a murder need to be in order for the assailant, aged 10, to be charged as an adult? Decide for yourself based on the facts, which are as follows: A boy, who can be described as the very least as having extreme anger issues, lost his temper with a 90-year-old woman. So he grabbed a cane, hooked it around her neck, and held her down as he beat her, ultimately crushing her trachea....

Obama Administration Attempting To Murder the S’More

Most people who enjoy the outdoors have at one time or another found themselves around a campfire, toasting a marshmallow, ready to put that gooey orb of goodness upon a graham cracker and broken chocolate bar to create the American classic, a S’More. But like most of the goodness in America, the Obama adminstration has once again taken measures to try and subvert and destroy what is good and replace it with what is acceptable to them. Health Care, International Affairs, the notion that America should have a border etc. have all been turned upside down and broken by this current administration.  But the depravity of murdering the S’More is appalling. No doubt being pressured by his “eat kale while I eat cake” plus sized wife, Obama has directed the US Forest Service to begin a campaign to bamboozle Americans changing the American campfire treat into something completely unrecognizable....

Tony Stewart Recklessly Kills a Man, Time to Ban All Cars

The title of this article is steeped with sarcasm.  But it is used to illustrate the absurdity that gun controllers like to levy upon guns by applying it elsewhere.  In case you haven’t heard, this past Saturday night in Canandaigua, NY, professional racecar driver, Tony Stewart, ran over and killed a fellow driver who got out of his vehicle and tried to confront Stewart while the race was still on. First and foremost, dumb idea.  Even under a caution flag, these cars were whizzing around the dirt track at speeds of 55+ mph.  And while my sympathies go out to the family of Kevin Ward Jr. willingly placing yourself in harms way in order to pick a fight is not really the safest thing to do. With that being said, as you can see in the following video, it is unclear whether Stewart actually swerved INTO Ward as he...
