MY COMMENT: “ The driver was Black, and so believed he was above city policy. I have no problem with what he did, but because of White driver would probably be up on charges, so should he. Either that, or some sort of change enabling PASSENGERS on city buses to be armed. ” Charlotte, NC: Bus driver and passenger open fire on each other .

https://gunmagwarehouse.com/blog/the-guns-of-battlestar-galactica/ MY COMMENTS: 1. Regards question at end of article about other pertinent science-fiction universes. “Firefly” (and the “Serenity” movie). The ultimate space western. Civilians generally carry weapons “in common use” in American civilian life today (with special emphasis on Old West-leaning arms, how much for the “western” feel versus how much for some political agenda on the part of Joss Whedon, I don’t know) while authorities and really rich people have some more advanced arms. It’s as if the Heller case froze the sorts of things civilians could have, while the authorities continued to advance. Might be a realistic legal scenario for us today. 2. “ Battlestar Galactica” in its reimagined form was all about human existence repeating itself in a cycle. The use of present day type arms off and looking EXACTLY like our own was in part intended to show a repeat of style and function. “Out there” someone designed a rifle, an...

(SPOILER) MY COMMENT: We actually see the depth of the deception in what this individual says toward the end, with the claim about “real transgender” people who may “actually need” such a procedure. Even as Chloe has seen the reality, she still holds that there is such a thing. “No, witch-doctoring may not be the answer for me, but there are people who can use it.”

MY COMMENT: “This sort of thing actually goes back decades. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a movement called “Ebonics.” In essence, it was Black English. The idea was for Black students to get a foreign language credit in school because they could speak it as well as standard English.  “A companion movement to this was a “black mathematics.” It was characterized by the use of African imagery – like butterflies, for some reason – in teaching young kids to count. The whole point of it was that African mathematics doesn’t emphasize precision. Therefore, Western mathematics is “racist” because it does. The movement didn’t catch on, but it was there. “Perhaps it explains the lack of precision in traditional African culture in terms of time. Black African students coming to study in White/Western countries, or studying under professors from the West in their homelands have been known to experience problems showing up for class on time. They claim in their defense that in their co...

Basic story here: Black man fired that day from KFC, having threatened to “shoot all the White people” in the store, comes back to store and shoots the Black employee father of the child being carried by the mother (who was also employed there – race unstated, but the apparent perp did threaten “White people”) of two of his kids. But supposedly, the motive was not immediately apparent. As a result, the minor White employee who saved the life of the wounded Black man was initially fired, per what the female store manager told the mother of the employee. Later reports say that the White man was still employed. Or, the decision was reversed. Perhaps the store manager thought that it might now be “racist” for a White person to save the life of a Black victim of Black violence. If liberals and the Black community wants White people to let them die when they are victims of their own people, well… I certainly do not want to be accused of being “racist.” https://fox59.com/news/shoot-all-the-wh...

MY COMMENT: “The video makes a number of positive points for a .308 battle rifle for civilians. To add to them and to counter some of the counterpoints: Most civilians lack the training and discipline to run fire-and-maneuver, or to truly employ all the little added accessories talked about. A largely featureless and baseline rifle in .308 will fulfill the function to which civilians were likely be put to in a militia situation — offering fixed-position support-by-fire to more capable forces — saving weapon weight. Ammo weight is also less an issue, as civilians will likely have to be trucked around, lacking the discipline for long marches. Using an AK pattern rifle like a Saiga or Vepr will also help in maintenance, given the civilians not being under military discipline.” TDF INDEX:  Cats, Guns, and National Security: THE DAILY FUDD index.    https://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-daily-fudd-index.html

One issue: This discusses being under foreign occupation! Availability of anything will be limited. That includes ammo and spare parts. So your best bet would be to appropriate the weapons of your occupiers if considerably different from indigenous American arms. A loaded 7.62mm ComBloc is vastly more lethal than an unloaded Barrett .50. That noted, as  for the type of arms as discussed in the video, some of the choice depends on just what position you choose. If you are part of that slew of people simply going about their lives and keeping your American loyalty quiet, then something small, like a concealed handgun usually kept concealed at home, is sufficient for the weird circumstance when it’s called for — “use it only in emergencies,” ala Mike and the Mechanics ( 2:22 , just one second early!). In addition to purely defense, think of it as a “seed gun” akin to the WWII liberator pistol, and used in a manner again to how the video discusses to obtain serious fire power when the ...

President Trump’s name will be permitted on the ballot and the primary and general elections, which he will win, and his Electors will be allowed to vote for him in the College. Congress will meet January 6, 2025, and approve all of that.  However, the 25A objection will then be raised to block him from actually taking office. The Dem administration in power will then act kinetically to prevent his inauguration, essentially doing everything Trump’s side was accused of in 2021, and a hell of a lot more. With the media on their side, and a much deeper willingness than Trump ever had to use kinetic force, it will finally be now or never for the loyal States to either do as I have said for several years and invoke the principle of Federalist 46 , or roll over and submit to Globalist usurpation of the country.

While I confess I am very slightly more inclined toward Megyn Kelly’s suspicion than that of Adam Carolla regarding the crazy woman on the airplane ranting about people who “aren’t real,” his new attitude toward “conspiracy theories” does closely mirror my own: I can’t laugh at conspiracy theorists the way I used to. BUT, it’s still wrong to go down that rabbit hole unendingly. There is a difference between seeing collusion and agendas shared by multiple entities on things like Covid and the 2020 Presidential Election Steal, and seeing an IllumiNazi ZOG cabal guiding everything. (Immediate discussion starts at 6:35 point.) And yes, Megyn Kelly looks… 🤤! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CngZSx-Ln1s

“Liberty Doll” has a tendency to go uber-libertarian and lose judgment. She even backed a fellow who purchased one of those “Chinese fuel filters” and seemed to be genuinely trying to convince people. he didn’t know it was actually a suppressor. Here, though, she is very much on target. Indeed she has seemed to improve some lately, though, at least acknowledging a wisdom in considering a person’s intent in regard to RKBA, even if the title is clickbait. (Link HERE  for that one — with a great top on her, BTW. And yes, I’m a pig.) —— MY COMMENT: “This shows why purism in RKBA and “freedom” is inherently self-destructive. Had the shop owner sold the weapon, he would’ve been contributing to the very force that opposes the culture and civilization that enables him to be in business. “2A and RKBA support a purpose. They are not a purpose in and of themselves. That purpose – the maintenance of our heritage and Western civilizatio n – must come first, or they themselves will perish. “Si...

As a total non-musician, I have wondered if “Karma Chameleon” might have potential for a Country cover. Notwithstanding its origin and original focus, having a female voice, and of course some redoing of the instrumentals, might make it suitable for a direct Country appeal.  Indeed “Boy George,” who wrote the song, noted that the other band members did not like it at first, because they thought that – get this – it sounded too much like a Country song! Their video probably contributed to this sense. Below are two covers by bands from Argentina which I believe bring some of this out. Included are my comments on those postings, an additional thought, and pertinent additional material. IRONICA: === ROMANTIC & BLUE: An additional thought, based on this second cover, is that perhaps simply having a female voice for the bridge alone would be sufficient for Country appeal. Also, the last line of the chorus could be changed to contribute to the story. “Red, gold, and green” are simply...

MY COMMENT: “Prepare to do what you actually can do. That’s it. “Plan for the short term. If going on foot, have enough whatever for a few days. If it goes on much longer than that without you finding a refugee camp or such, you’re dead. “Oh, and especially if you’re solo/just you and the animal, don’t overdo the firepower. You’ll never win a firefight against a multiple-person force, but you WILL look like a threat to them if you’re tripped out like the guys in the video. A decent sidearm makes you a less appealing target than most of the refugees, but will not present you as a threat to prepper bands setting up private checkpoints. Casing and slinging any long gun you might take means you would have it if you need it at some point, but again not be presenting yourself as a threat as you would if you were moving in the low ready.” “MULTIPLE-PERSON SCENARIO: The more you have in we your band, the more you can take relative to that number. It’s the same principle as the “two can eat che...

The architect presenter here probably doesn’t exactly match my politics, but I always find her insight into these matters quite… insightful. And certainly useful. Is it possible our society is going (back) to this? This is a follow-on to Edition 219 of my “Daily Fudd” series on RKBA . It discusses this matter in more tactical 2A political terms. Please see that for a practical look at such an urban development. It includes a link to another of this architect’s work.

Still no vengeance on those ungrateful… Well, even this blog have to be careful what language it uses.  Next time, let’s let the worthless wastes of resources  starve and beg. And then institute recolonization. Below is a reaction to the movie “Black Hawk Down.” In someways it’s mixed, of course, but a number of times these reactorettes do you get a picture of the humanitarian intent of the mission and the ungratefulness of the locals.

What’s wrong with these people? They almost forgot the most important guest. PART 1: PART 2: 

In TDF 258 and TDF 259 , I discussed two aspects of actual “carry” in RKBA. My conclusion was that both performance and restraint are necessary. Something is better than nothing. But then, that’s been the whole point of this TDF series (I will refrain from excessive links). If we take the substance of RKBA seriously, then we will compromise to keep it. Those things we really care about, those we are willing to sacrifice for and accept imperfection. That’s the counterintuitive reality. Individuals compromise for families. Nations compromise for their prosperity and security. And libertarians compromise for the doobie.   Arms are a tool. They are not a theoretical “principle.” The results of their loss is not theoretical. It is very real. It is with them that we maintain this seed of our Western heritage. And for all Patriots, if, given the political reality of both our institutions and our PEOPLE, restraint is necessary to preserve it, then it is worth the sacrifice.  Th...

The Beach Boys at the Opry! This was historical. The Opry allows three types of music: Country, Bluegrass, and Americana. The Beach Boys are definitely Americana. I’ve said for years that they should be declared an honorary Country band. It is done. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jt95RSxwuk4&pp=ygUTQmVhY2ggYm95cyBIdWNrYWJlZQ%3D%3D

The Oak Ridge Boys have announced they are on a farewell tour. The group started in the 1940s as a local gospel group around the “secret city” of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where they performed for the scientists and technicians working on the atomic bomb. They evolved into a Country and Pop group after settling (with a short-term exception) on the current makeup. I guess that’s why they haven’t tried replacing members. Like with The Beach Boys (and with one exception, The Statlers), you can have new backup members and stand-ins, but the core is irreplaceable. I try to remember things passing at their best, by the most essential or influential work. For yours truly anyway, on a sheer personal level, this is it: The Oak Ridge Boys ~ Come on In (You Did the Best You Could Do)

In TDF 258 , I discussed “pouch carry” and open carry, including in the home. Following that study, I conducted another in which I relied on hidden arms stowed strategically around, rather than CCW on my person, in the home. Like the previous one, this study showed two sides. I quickly found that sometimes stowage can be more convenient. MUCH more convenient. On the other hand, there was the issue of securing the stowed arms from unwelcome discovery by others. However, it was a few fairly benign but unusual incidents that led me relatively immediately to the more “counter-fudd” leaning on the matter – and on purely tactical grounds. The primary ones involved meeting a neighbor for the first time. I have since confirmed that he is no threat, yet circumstances at the time gave an, uh, odd – not expressly threatening, but still odd – initial impression. (Turns out it’s “herbal.”) Facing this unknown quantity, I stood there, dealing with an uncertain situation, able only to fidget with a p...

This regards the article from the American Institute for Economic Research, “ Orwell Exposes the Cowardice of Journalists and Intellectuals ,” which overall is worth the read .   The writer uses  George Orwell’s work, “The Freedom of the Press,” as a springboard for launching against the forces currently acting to censor discussions, such as journalism, “science,” and other areas where Woke PC has gained a foothold. He  quotes this statement critical of journalism, but misses or ignores  an odd misstatement by Orwell. Notice: “If publishers and editors exert themselves to keep certain topics out of print, it is not because they are frightened of prosecution but because they are frightened of public opinion.” The last two words: “public opinion.” Yet, it is not “public opinion” that is being discussed as a censoring force or motivation, but rather forces in politics, business, society, or media running COUNTER to the public – “enemies of the people.” I have sometimes ...
