There’s a type of anti-gun argument that goes like this… “In America, it’s harder to do X than it is to buy a gun.” Lefties love it because they think it makes them sound smart and deep. But more importantly, it carries with it the chance to go viral and deliver the oh-so-sweet dopamine hit… Continue reading Fisking a Really Dumb Gun Control Meme

A couple weeks ago the LA Bomb Squad tried to put on a propaganda show and blew up a cache of illegal fireworks on a busy neighborhood street, resulting in an explosion so large that it destroyed an expensive LA Bomb Squad truck, damaged an entire neighborhood and sent more than a few people to… Continue reading George Was Right (#19882)

Take an hour and a half out of your day and listen to this… it will make you smarter. I can still remember when Jack first realized that 401K plans were systematically removing dollar-based options like Money Market Funds from their lists of available investments. I checked my company plan and, yeah, it had been… Continue reading 90 Minutes to a Smarter You

But some of it amounts to the greatest self-own in American history and sets my Schadenfreude alarms… Continue reading The Damage the Left’s COVID lockdowns have wrought

On Monday I did a short and, frankly, way too glib Locals post about this Maxine Waters plan for a Social FICO Score. But the more I sit with it, the more terrifying it starts to feel. One of my super powers has always been the ability to see over the horizon and identify things… Continue reading Hanging out at the corner of Preppinig and Persecution

Drivin’ with my Locals… to get ’em in the mood… It’s another Tuesday hangout on Locals… come on over and Let’s Get Rocked.
