Bacon, Guns & Whiskey

…with a side of Freedom and Liberty. Common-ish sense in uncommon times.

    Epstein Arrests

    Arrests for the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell: United States None United Kingdom Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor—British Royal Peter Mandelson—Former Ambassador Others None Reported

  • America is the Fourth Reich

    Here legally, no criminal record, following the prescribed immigration process. Now arrested, put into a concentration camp, and held without bail, a hearing, or access to counsel. We gave Guantanamo detainees fucking lawyers but not people here legally and working to legally naturalize. No due process. None. At all. In case you don’t remember the…

  • Time for another whiskey

    Time for another whiskey

    This is another from the group that I sampled a while ago (we actually had 2 Glen Morangies) and the casks made a huge difference. I’m nowhere close to an expert, so I won’t waste your time (or embarrass myself) writing a bunch of unsophisticated things about a good scotch. The only thing I will…

  • Remember your Oath

    Remember your Oath

    For my Commissioned friends, it’s “I solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will…

    Not so anti-war, are we?

    For being the person who promised “[w]hen I’m back in the White House, we will expel the warmongers, the profiteers … and we will restore world peace”, Trump sure is dropping a lot of bombs, shooting a lot of guns, and people in and out of Congress are making A TON of money. We’re sending…

  • It’s time to talk about what “America” was built on

    It’s time to talk about what “America” was built on

    Spoiler alert: it was built as a libertarian republic. I’m going to venture a guess that it’s been a long time since you read (or even read about) the Federalist Papers from way-back-when (1787-1788), but it’s probably worth revisiting. So, over the next several however-long-it-takes, I’ll plug some of my thoughts on what the Founders…

  • Speaking of socialism

    Speaking of socialism

    Atlanta is trying a socialist fix for a capitalist problem. The free market can solve problems — and has solved the biggest ones — better than any other force out there, short of (perhaps) creating the space program. But even there, the private sector has stepped in and now you have reusable spacecraft and extraordinary…

    It’s shutdown time again. Congress gets paid, everyone else gets screwed.

    That’s pretty much it. Folks in Congress will get their checks, their staffs won’t, and neither will their security details. The same is true for most government employees — and most of these folks are legally required to keep working — even when they run out of money because they aren’t receiving wages anymore.

  • Can’t have “guns” in the name and not talk about it, right?

    Can’t have “guns” in the name and not talk about it, right?

    Remember when I talked about that thing that would help solve our problems? This is probably THE single most common “gotcha” people try and hit me with. Do you really think the people who wrote the Constitution wanted people to have machine guns and bazookas? Well they didn’t have those things back in the 1700s,…
