I was having a discussion with my buddy, John Meyers, who writes for ZeroGov occasionally, the other day, and we were discussing my weekly training group. He’s had trouble getting people to show up for MONTHLY range days, and wanted to know how I built a team of a dozen, that show up weekly. I told him, and then mentioned that it might be a good article idea.

To begin with, you need to be serious, both mentally and physically. That means, if you’re trying to get guys (and gals) to commit to spending several hours a week, on the range, spending money on ammunition, you’d better be able to do what you’re going to ask them to do.

Our training group started out with four of us. It was me, and three other guys from our “clan of choice” (the clan of choice is a group of friends, some…

It’s funny when you dig into the weeds of history what you find. It’s almost always different than what you believed. From Paul Craig Roberts at paulcraigroberts.com:

Update:  It appears to be the case that the majority of white immigrants into the  American British colonies between the years 1630 and the American Revolution in 1776 were slaves or indentured slaves who often remained slaves beyond their term.  In other words, depending on the death rates of white slaves, most white Americans today are descendants of former slaves.  Jordan and Walsh report that two-thirds of white immigrants from the British Isles were slaves for life or for a contracted period. It is an American myth that the colonies were settled by free men and women. “The truth could not be more different,” write Jordan and Walsh. “The freedoms of modern American society evolved only gradually from enforced labor and penal…

Most of “our betters” who make up the anti-populist movement are totalitarian wannabes. From Brendan O’Neill at spiked-online.com:

It isn’t populists who threaten life, liberty and democracy in Europe – it’s anti-populists.

On Thursday 2 May, spiked editor Brendan O’Neill spoke in a debate about populism at the Leeds Salon. These were his opening remarks.

I always find it perplexing when people claim that the new national populism is a threat to life, liberty and democracy in Europe.

Because there is indeed a threat to life, liberty and democracy in Europe today. But it isn’t coming from populists. It’s coming from anti-populists.

It isn’t populists who have been beating, shooting and maiming protesters in France for the past six months, causing scores of them to lose eyes and limbs. It’s anti-populists who are doing that.

It is the anti-populists’ hero, in fact – Emmanuel Macron – who is…

There are many questions that can be asked about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and most of them probably won’t be. Either they will not be thought of, or most of those who write about this event will seek to direct the questions into other areas that will fail to deal with events that should be dealt with in order to focus on the Establishment version of this history. It’s sort of like the Warren Commission Report on the Kennedy assassination. Thinking people realize the Warren Commission Report is a croc, to put it bluntly, but it is still the “official version” of what is supposed to have happened and so it is what all the court historians refer everyone to. They realize it’s all baloney. What they hope for is that you don’t. Same with the Lincoln…

Weapons and computer and robotics technology will continue to spur the decentralization of violence, making it ever more difficult to combat insurgency. From Peter W. Singer at defenseone.com:

The author of “Ghost Fleet” has some guesses — and some questions that U.S. defenders will have to answer.
