“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Talk to me, Goose…

I love the movie Top Gun. And the thing is, I really shouldn’t. It is, without question, the gayest non-gay movie ever made. The entire plot was stitched together out of used Kleenex and soft-focus shots of Kelly McGillis, back when she was actually hot. About...

Come and get them, you jug-eared idiot

And once again, the tinpot would-be dictator shows us his true colours by hinting at going well beyond mere gun control and straight into gun confiscation: In the mid-1990s Australia and Great Britain both instituted what were virtually complete bans on...

Why they fight

I came across a powerful video today, just at random, on the Vickers Tactical channel, about one Tyler Grey, an ex-RANGER who was severely injured over in the Sandbox. He is a quiet man. He speaks with dignity and grace about what happened to him. He doesn’t...

Peace through strength

The Gipper’s core philosophy continues to make sense: As much as I respect and admire Bill Whittle, it is worth pointing out one big problem with his analysis. The reality is that the cancellation of the F-22 is probably one of the very very very...

Getting pimp-slapped by reality

If I still used social media, I’d think strongly about making this my profile picture You know the old saying, “a conservative is a liberal who got mugged by reality”? Well, an ex-CNN anchor discovered just how true that saying is, the hard way:...

“We might have been a great and free people”

That about sums up the state of the culture On this day in 1776, 56 free-born Englishmen signed a document in Philadelphia that became the rallying cry for a new nation. The text itself is a masterpiece of rhetoric. It follows a simple and well understood structure;...

Joint Strike Flopter: flying piano edition

Well, that was some $400 billion well spent, then: It’s the most expensive weapon in history but America’s F-35 stealth jet has been outperformed by a 40-year-old F-16 jet in a dogfight.  A mock air battle was held over the Pacific Ocean between the...
