Friday the 13th certainly lived up to its ill-fated reputation this year. That was, of course and unfortunately, the day when Islamists- there is no point mincing words- attacked 6 separate targets all over the city of Paris and, in the process, killed at least 129,...

Larry Correia has been described in many ways, each one funnier and more accurate than the last. He calls himself the International Lord of Hate, and with great justification. Vox Day has been known to call him “The Mountain That Writes” and, in his latest...
