D.C. has some of the most strict firearm laws in the country.

Ponder that while considering:

1. Violent crime in DC is high (though Detroit, St Louis, Memphis, Baltimore, Cleveland, and 13 others had higher rates of violent crime in 2024).

2. 2A isn't just about hunting or personal protection.

The feeling looming in the atmosphere can be best described as "ka-shume."

Israel saying they'll hold Iran accountable for "war crimes" after a missile hit a hospital is the purest definition of a double-standard.

This would almost be funny if innocent people weren't in the literal crossfire.

Our parties suck.One might suck worse than the other...but they seem to deserve each other.
I mean,how did this guy get the job as the nation's #1 opposition leader? In a time of grave constitutional danger?
If you told me he was voted in by the other side I wouldn't dismiss you out of hand. Geeze.

Friendly reminder: a surplus military gas mask (look for one that takes 40mm NATO filters) can be had for less than the cost of filling up most cars at a gas station.
Don't forget to grab a few CBRN filters as well!

America, do you remember when a bunch of colonists got angry about taxes on tea and protested, and pretty soon those colonists declared war against the largest military in the world?

Well, guess where most of your coffee comes from?

A: (not America)

In a totally hypothetical scenario, it's easy to imagine a person using their authority to intentionally tank a company's stock price. Then, either they or their agents, snatch what remains at a significantly reduced price.

Now, imagine that person is in the White House, and the company is the USA.

The world is moving on.

It was nice when I could put the book down. I'd get a sandwich, take a nap, take however long I wanted to be ready for re-entering the fictional world of disarray and broken beams - and then, when I was feeling ready, open the pages again.

Now there are demons everywhere.

Every morning for the past handful of weeks, I've manually refreshed my podcast feed to see if you've posted.

I think nearly everyone saw, but dismissed the possibility we'd arrive here because A) we have checks against this, and B) the solutions to recover from here are all painful and dangerous.
