I remember in fourth grade I went to my friend Bobby’s house after school. It was a big deal because I got to go on his bus with a permission slip from my parents. We had the best games of backyard football at his house. It was at his house I listened to The Cars for the first time and will never forget it. In The Boston Globe, the staff wrote about Ocasek's life and his time with The Cars: The first three songs on their 1978 self-titled first album were all hit singles and remain widely known classics: ‘‘Good Times Roll,’’ “My Best Friend’s Girl,’’ and ‘‘Just What I Needed.’’ They … [Read more...]
They’re Not Getting My Guns
One thing was clear in last night’s Democrat debate. They don’t know guns. And if you own one, they’re coming for it. “Hell, yes we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” vowed former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke. They’ll start with your AR-15 (I own a Colt) and then your AK-47 (also in our family). And then they’ll go right on down the line to strip you of a Constitutional right. As my daughter and I watched together, she was clearly upset: “How can they be saying this?” “How can they believe that?” Because in their hearts they believe they can run my family better … [Read more...]
Support for Gun Control is Quickly Dropping
When push comes to shove, Americans want their Constitutional rights protected. Stephen Gutowski of The Washington Free Beacon reports on two recent polls that confirm Americans' declining support for gun control measures. He writes: Polls from Quinnipiac University and an ABC News/Washington Post partnership asked about the gun control debate in America and specific gun control proposals. Both polls showed a general downward trend in support for new gun control measures even in the immediate aftermath of mass shootings in Texas and Ohio. Neither poll found heightened enthusiasm for any … [Read more...]
You Can’t Legislate to Keep Bad Guys from Getting Guns
You can’t use legislation to keep bad guys from getting guns. But that’s exactly what House Democrats are trying to do. Back from Summer vacation, they’ve passed a bill to expand background checks for firearms purchases. Democrat leaders in the House and Senate wrote to President Trump to insist on his “personal intervention.” This is when, unlike Walmart, the GOP-led Senate needs to stand strong. You and I, law-abiding citizens, cannot simply walk into a store and buy a gun. Every single firearm purchase I have made at a store, whether of a hunting rifle, shotgun, or … [Read more...]
Here’s Some Good News out of California
The sheriff of Tulare County has had enough of active shooters taking people's lives with no resistance. He's encouraging the citizens of his county to exercise their right to bear arms, and carry concealed with a permit in order to protect themselves and those around them. America's First Freedom reports: Sheriff Mike Boudreaux of Tulare County, Calif., recently he took to Twitter to make a statement in support of the Second Amendment.

Growing Up Must-See TV and the Soul of America
Growing up must-see TV was Thursday nights with The Cosby Show. Next Thursday’s must-see TV will be the Joe Biden show as the Democrats will debate for three hours. “Biden will be on stage, taking incoming missiles for 180 minutes from nine rivals, each of whom is hungry for the Democratic nomination and has a huge investment in seeing him stumble and fall,” writes Pat Buchanan at TAC. It’s hard not to feel bad for Sleepy Joe. And to see the truth in what PB writes. Because it may be a long night for Joe. “If he stumbles that night, misremembers or misspeaks repeatedly in the … [Read more...]
Here’s How China’s Hacker Army Steals Up to $600 Billion from American Businesses Each Year
Secret arms of the Chinese military have been tasked with stealing the secrets of American businesses using a variety of hacking methods, some off the shelf and some sophisticated. Evidence collected by the office of the U.S. Trade Representative suggests that the cost of all that theft could be between $225 billion and $600 billion. Bill Gertz reports at The Washington Times: Beginning in the 1990s, the Chinese used large-scale cyberattacks in support of a larger industrial policy of building up the country’s science and technology business and military sector. 3PLA is China’s … [Read more...]
Tucker Carlson Survives Media Assault
Despite a nearly monthlong media assault on Tucker Carlson, using misinterpretations of Carlson's words in an attempt to drive sponsors and viewers from his show, it appears he has survived. Ratings for Carlson's show in August were not significantly affected, reports Mediaite: Tucker Carlson has come under intense scrutiny in the past few weeks, and has lost advertisers, following his recent comments dismissing white supremacy as “not a real problem in America” and saying the concern about it is a “hoax.” The controversy has not significantly affected Carlson’s ratings, though. He … [Read more...]

You’ve realized some major success in your business to own a sportfishing boat. Walking the piers up and down the Eastern Seaboard this Summer, you saw “Trump” flags flying proudly from the sportfishing outriggers all summer long. These are not poor folk.
