Sig Sauer Academy: Rely on Your Training
Originally posted July 20, 2015. The saying goes that you don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training. I train at the fantastic Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, New Hampshire. I’m looking forward to a three day precision rifle course there in September. Challenge yourself with some new training as […]
My Two Favorite Handguns
Originally posted March 9, 2015. I own five hand guns: a Ruger.22LR target pistol, a Smith & Wesson .38 Bodyguard five shot revolver with integrated red dot laser and no safety, a Berretta FS 9mm, and two collector oriented M1911s. The Berretta and the 1911 offer the most stopping power, so forced to select only […]
Are Russia, Iran and Hezbollah America’s Allies?
Pat Buchanan tells readers, “In Syria’s civil war — with the army of Bashar Assad battling ISIS and al-Qaida — it is Russia and Iran and even Hezbollah that seem to be more allies of the moment than the Turks, Saudis or Gulf Arabs.” I have been on this track for a long time. I […]
Gun Owners Engage in Massive Civil Disobedience?

Harlan Elrich, a California teacher has joined a 10 person lawsuit against unions that force non-members to pay […]
A New Year’s Resolution for Liver Health—1, 2, 3
The human body is faced with a lifelong onslaught of toxic chemicals—from chlorine and fluoride in drinking water, to exhaust from autos, factories and power plants, to flame retardants on furniture, to chemicals in skin lotions and potions, to food on supermarket shelves that has been preserved, dipped, dyed or sprayed. And the list goes […]

In The Time of Our Lives: Collected Writings, Peggy Noonan tells readers about her grandfather and the day he said good-bye to his father in Donegal. His father’s departing words to Ms. Noonan’s grandfather were, “Go now, and never come back to hungry Ireland again.” As Ms. Noonan explains, her grandfather had his struggles in […]
