Milano’s Twisted World

HT Daily Gator:

Milano believes men must pay for past transgressions, whether or not those transgressions happened. To Milano, the proper way to correct past discrimination is not to do all we can to eliminate discrimination, but to punish different groups. She does not mind discrimination, as long as it pleases her.

I Weep for Our Nation

“You have no souls to be influenced. You are spineless, flaccid things. You pompously call yourselves Republicans and Democrats. There are no Republicans nor Democrats in this House. You are lick-spittles and panderers, the creatures of the Plutocracy.”

Jack London

That Every Man be Armed

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” –

Patrick Henry

Feminism 101

Hat tip to Victory Girls.

“We are in a dark age as humans. We demoralize men to the point of rompers and skinny jeans, all while we demoralize ourselves as women justifying that it is perfectly okay to snuff out a heartbeat of another individual living inside of us after a night of indiscretion with said “feminist” in skinny jeans. Our kids are seeing this and don’t even think for a minute that they are not paying attention. All of this talk of toxic masculinity but what about toxic feminism?”  Full article here

Deep

A few days ago I jotted down a my thoughts on the first few words of Saying 3 in the Gospel of Thomas and posted them on this site.  Since then, almost daily, I’ve ponder on the balance of the saying.   Here is what I came up with:  It’s deep!  The full saying is below:

(3) Jesus said, “If those who lead you say to you, ‘See, the kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.”

Post Prep– The Long Game

There is no shortage of good planning resources for those who wish to prepare for SHTF scenarios.  These sites provide planning suggestions for events that range in scale from short term needs driven by natural disaster through a total, long term, societal collapse.  What would the world look like after a collapse?  Superficially, it may look like Slab City.  This ‘City’ has been called the last free place on earth. It has no rules(laws). Only consequence and a few customs for dealing with those consequences.  This bizarre, lawless land in the California desert is inhabited by drug addicts, eccentrics, army vets, hippies and just plain old weirdos.

Around the Farm

After a couple of days of much needed rain it dried out on Saturday and Sunday.  The break in weather gave me the opportunity to shore up the slope near the front of my house.  I moved 10 railroad ties into position and created a a series of small retaining walls that tiered the 3 foot drop.  Will move dirt into my creation in the next few days.

“I am a man: little do I last and the night is enormous

But I look up: the stars write

Unknowing I understand: I too am written,

and at this very moment  someone spells me out.”

A Step Back

Regardless of which side of the Kavanaugh confirmation (or for that matter any of the political activities in the U.S.,) you sympathize with, I’m pretty sure you are going be dissatisfied with the outcome; that’s just our new ‘state of nature’.  Here is a thought from the 42nd Saying in the Gospel of Thomas that may keep you from getting sucked in to madness:

Jesus said, “Become passers-by”.

Enjoy both the journey and the show.

My Neck of the Woods

Temperatures are finally moderating and the rains will end today.  Looks like I’ll be able to get into a tree stand this coming week.

One rather large setback in my hunting plans is the closure of two nearby deer processors.  By asking around, and by research on the Tennessee health departments website I was able to locate another is roughly 20 miles away.  It’s a ‘setback’ because, while this is an excellent butcher, he will only process deer that are field dressed; he does not do taxidermy, he is closed on Sunday’s and Monday’s, and I have to take the bones with me when I pick up the meat.  More on these ‘sorrows’ later.
