Upon Their Ruins

“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.”

– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts

18th Saying in the Gospel of Thomas

The disciples said to Jesus, “Tell us how our end will be.” Jesus said, “Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death.”

Checking in with Liberal Central

An excellent read on plantation live and liberal control is posted at the American Spectator.  In part it reads:

The media’s meltdown over Kanye’s trip to the Oval Office reflects nothing more than its horrified realization that Trump is eating the left’s lunch, poaching more and more voters from once-monopolized lib constituencies. Apparently Kanye West is supposed to check with the central office of the Left’s Ministry of Truth before opening his mouth. Anything less is “surreal,” according to the media. What a bunch of totalitarian creeps.

Conspiracy in Space?

The Chandra X-ray Observatory has gone into safe mode and halted all its science operations a few days after Hubble shut down.  According to NASA, Chandra’s transition into safe mode was possibly triggered by an issue that has something to do with its gyroscope, the component in charge of pointing and stabilizing the telescope.

Roll Tide

As usual, things turned out just fine for the top-ranked Crimson Tide.

Tagovailoa passed for 265 yards and three touchdowns but didn’t return after aggravating a right knee injury in No. 1 Alabama’s 39-10 victory over Missouri on Saturday night.

The Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) shrugged off another would-be challenger in the league, but the star quarterback went down after sliding at the end of a run in the third quarter. 

“Tua could have went back in the game,” Tide coach Nick Saban said. “He wanted to go back in the game. I didn’t think it was worth it.” 

The only thing Yahoo gets right is sports.  More college football results here.

Sufficient Arms

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”

– George Washington

Homestead Redone

This picture is a modified photo that I took of an old homestead on AL Hwy 207 near the Tennessee line.  It is one of several that I placed on this page

The picture was modified using a program called paint.net, the version is 4.4.1  The ‘effect’ used is called Oil Paint.

Given that the program is free, powerful, and scary easy to use, if your into playing with pictures I highly recommend it.

Pocket Pistol Defense

I now carry a pocket pistol instead of a side arm.  My reasons are simple:

-I should be able to get out of any bad situation with 12 rounds (including a magazine exchange).

-I can carry without dressing like I’m carrying

-I can carry and no one knows, and thus less likely to try and separate me from my weapon

-A well placed shot from a 380 is just as lethal as any other round.

Go, Please Just Go

This woman could not do enough damage to this country when she was a Senator or Secretary of State.  Now she has to sow the seeds of division as a washed up and failed politician.  Can you imagine the damage this scum would have done as President?

CNN and the Token Negro

A CNN panel hosted by anchor Don Lemon took turns lacing into Kanye West on Tuesday evening, joking that his embrace of President Donald Trump has caused him to be tokenized. Several referred to him using the term “negro.”

Tara Setmeyer:  He’s an attention whore — He clearly has issues. He’s already been hospitalized. 

Bakari Sellers:  Kanye West is what happens when negroes don’t read,

Shame

I’ve blocked out the offensive word in the child’s placard.  How a parent could do this to their young child escapes me.  As Wire-cutter might suggest:  “straight up white trash’.

Sagan: We are Wanderers

This is a great little piece that provokes thought.  I choose to overlook the reference to natural selection that occurs (oddly I might add) near the middle of the narrative.  How Carl could compose this without seeing the presence of God in man’s long journey  escapes me.
