The truth about poor little Greta Thunberg is that she is a useful idiot being promoted by the globalists to spread an agenda.  And I don't mean "idiot" in the IQ sense.   She is extremely intelligent.  I mean "idiot" in the sense of being handed things that she does not at all understand, and simply repeating the words that she is handed and the emotions that she is told to convey.  I was

You have GOT to be kidding me!  Just when I thought the social and environmental justice warriors couldn't get any more extreme, they pull something like this.  Now, they want us to confess our "sins" against the planet.  Look - I don't sin against a hunk of rock flying through space.  If I'm going to confess my sins about anything, it will be to the Holy and Sovereign God of this universe, not

Not that the City of San Francisco Board of Supervisors has any credibility with me, but they just announced that they have designated the National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization.  Nevermind that they have no problem with the antics of Antifa thugs.  And never mind that their feckless management of their city has caused the once beautiful city of San Francisco to become a

Reposted from my "Firearms Training" blog because this issue is that important.  We should all be extremely concerned about this.  Social media scouring to determine who to "Red Flag" - seriously?!  Suppression of free speech is now taking the form of "Minority Report" types of behavior by the government.  It's bad enough that social media is suppressing conservative speech.  But stuff like this

With Memorial Day a very recent memory, and the recent observance of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Normandy Invasion, I had some time to reminisce about my own military service, and what it meant to serve in the U.S. Navy with various aviation units.  Particularly, my time serving with the fighter squadrons while at sea aboard aircraft carriers are my best memories.  I didn't enjoy being

The SSGT did some pretty good videos lately that outline the inconvenient truths about the Democrats and the Republicans.  Bottom line - the Dems can't do anything without cheating and lying.  He cites some statements from Dr. Carol Swain, who in my opinion, is one of the greatest conservative voices in our time with respect to law, race relations, immigration, the U.S. Constitution, and

"[Your State Here] House to Consider New York Style Gun Control Legislation..." Every time we hear of new gun control that is being dreamed up in various states, it seems that California and New York are used as models for their new legislation.  Two states that have completely failed to stop crime and gun violence, but have been extremely successful in taking away the rights of law-abiding

I am from Colorado.  I was born here, I grew up here, and my family and I returned to this state from South Dakota about 16 years ago.  Until the NFL National Anthem protest shenanigans, I had been a die-hard Broncos fan since I was a kid.  I left Colorado right after high school to embark on a 20-year-long career in the U.S. Navy, but my mother and sisters still lived here, so I returned home

While sounding like an altruistic little vision for improving world humanity and ushering in the Utopian State, the left's latest concoction, the "Green New Deal" is really just another term for the most horrific design for authoritarian control imaginable:  The United Nations' initiative known as Agenda 21.  In fact, Glenn Beck's book, "Agenda 21," he uses fiction to tell the all too true

Time to clear the air and correct some of the false reporting that abounds as a result of the US Government shutdown. I wanted to take an opportunity to talk about the government shutdown, and what it means to the federal employees who were furloughed.  First of all, not all federal employees are lazy bureaucrats who worship the ground that Barack Obama walked on, or who hate President Trump.

Look, I don't own any bump stocks.  I never wanted a bump stock, I'm not even sure that I'm spelling "bump stock" correctly.  But the latest shenanigans by a bunch of unelected federal bureaucrats has me livid.  This is bump stocks today, and my competition triggers that I use in shooting matches tomorrow, then all semi-automatic firearms after that.  If we choose to look the other way on

Well - I suppose in the grand scheme to ban guns, going after ammunition and now parts are expected to be par for the course.  And isn't it amazing how the language in these bans is purposefully vague and misleading?!  Seems to be the same old story: we have people who know nothing of guns lecturing us about them and then attempting to ban them.  What this type of law does is not only outlaw

September 11, 2018:  Today, we remember a great tragedy.  We mourn the dead and honor their memory.  We give thanks for the emergency responders who ran towards the disaster and did what they could to save lives, some losing their own lives in the process.  We are thankful for our military who is doing their best to keep the battle in the middle east instead of allowing it to come to our

During the turbulent birth of our country, our forefathers gave us a way to protect our God-given right to bear arms, protect our country and protect our families via the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. There are many ongoing debates, pro & con on this topic.  And our politicians on the left side of the aisle certainly don't seem to want to acknowledge that we have a natural right to

Since the recent passing of Arizona US Senator John McCain, there have been many posts expressing sympathy, but also many posts expressing dislike toward the now deceased Senator.  But regardless of how you feel about him, lying about a dead man (or lying about anyone, for that matter) is just not acceptable, in my opinion. So allow me to jump on the band-wagon and chime in as well. First of

As we approach the mid-term elections, it seems that the trend of the Democrat party is to move even farther to the left than they already have by touting popular, rising young stars who are self-proclaimed democratic socialists.  Bernie Sanders is absolutely beaming!  Bernie and his fellow democratic socialists continuously denounce capitalism, in favor of socialist ideals such as open

I don't know what's worse, the over-the-edge hyperbole, the purposeful intellectual dishonesty, or the blatant ignorance displayed by people like Senator Richard Blumenthal when they talk about these 3-D Printed guns.  I mean really - could these people possibly know any less about firearms or current firearms laws?  Or is it that their unchecked emotions are keeping them from realizing the

Gun storage legislation is usually one of those "slippery slope" issues.  Responsible gun owners already willingly secure their firearms to keep them out of the hands of unauthorized people.  The problem is that the people who try to legislate these types of things are usually ignorant or apathetic of common defensive firearms practices and have a knee-jerk response to everything, anyway.  The

As I posted with a Daily Shooter video the other day, the website set up by California DOJ to allow California citizens to register "assault weapons" and "bullet button" rifles was a massive failure.   A poorly designed government website set up to mandate that people register for something goes down due to too much traffic... gee.... sound familiar?

This is why these "Red Flag" laws must be opposed at every turn:   "Resident snowflakes of the knee-jerk town complained that the man openly carrying made them feel uncomfortable and unsafe. I looked for and could not find anything in the open carry statutes that mentions a prohibition of making other people feel uncomfortable and unsafe."   It's what I've been saying all along: Some poor

I am tired of being lectured to by people with no moral compass, and who protest against violence while committing violence against others.

Another school shooting and the usual suspects didn’t waste any time whatsoever getting the public and the media spun up by pontificating about how more gun control would have prevented this.  It’s the guns.  It’s the gun lobby.  It’s the NRA.  It’s Christians.  President Trump did it by reducing taxes.  According to Chelsea Handler, it’s Republicans.
