Some Kind of Sick Joke?


The Obama Administration is deadly serious about fighting the Islamic savages that beheaded 21 Christians on a beach in Libya and burned another 45 people, alive, in Iraq. That's why they're holding a Summit on Violent Extremism. Right Now.

Here's what they're saying about the apocalyptic death cult that is purebred Islamic Jihad:

“I think we will see through the complexity of the discussion that violent extremism is a broader trend, and that everyone will be approaching it through their own lens of their immediate concerns, but there are lessons to be learned across all forms of efforts to counter different types of violent extremism. And again, as was just mentioned, the interventions themselves must be specific and localized even if they happen to be falling under the same umbrella category. So I think we’ll see in the context of the meeting itself the diversity that reflects the reality of recent history.”

Maybe you think I made that up, like some kind of joke. Think again.

Meanwhile, ISIS laughs.

Pretty creepy, eh? The penitential season obviously starts early here. Please try not to be sick.

The Changing Face of the Church of England


Some people think that traditional, catholic-minded Anglicans in the U.K. have won a "great victory" with the CofE's recent decision to make women bishop figures. Why?



Because there'll be a "third party adjudicator" to make sure that trad parishes are respected and tolerated and loved in a beautiful rainbow pony Elysium that is the new Church of England.



Even though they're considered, by the CofE establishment and the "culture," to be prejudiced, fascist, patriarchal, has-beens, who backwardly insist on unjust heterosexist power structures. And ultimately have to be destroyed.

Look here, appeasers, don't you realize you've been taken over by Mantis People? There is no "making peace" with the Clan



Next stop? So-called "gay marriage." Good luck with that and while you're at it, grow a spine.

God bless,

Happy President's Day


Nadia Khuzina, who is a Clinton fan, describes her painting like this:

"In this painting you will see a calm and collected Putin enjoying the moment of defeating a troubled Obama who has fallen short of his stated goals. Putin is smirking knowing he is the real winner, but allowing the late Dear Leader to enjoy his small victory too as he giddily tallies Obama’s score. Part of being a good winner is not rubbing it in, Putin is showing this...

"The left-handed golfing President Obama is retrieving his ball from the 'lateral' water hazard kneeling down in a shameful pose of hopelessness. He knows he has reached the end and has lost as both Putin and Kim Jong-Il have tap-in putts and their body language conveys that a convincing victory has occurred."

Our Commander-in-Chief

Make of that what you will.

Have a great President's Day,

What. Savages.



It's the last Sunday of Epiphany and the Religion of Peace is at it again, parading Yazidis in cages, prior to being burned alive, and beheading 21 Coptic Christians in Libya. And lest we forget, shooting up a cafe in Copenhagen and threatening to behead and rape a pop singer.


Remember, these atrocities committed by the Islamic State in the name of Islam have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.


Typical Muslim Park Scene. Note Onlookers.

That's because Islam is all about peace, similar to Haight Ashbury and the Summer of Love, only a whole lot more peaceful.

So why can't we all just COEXIST? You know, like ComboAsk the Prophet; who was like Gandhi but more peaceful.

Valentine's Day Red Dot


As the rest of the world watches 50 Shades of Blockbuster Sales, I decided to celebrate romantic love by going to the range and sighting in my new Primary Arms red dot sight. I dialed it in, co-efficient with my carbine's iron sights and fired off a few 3 round groups.



From the get-go I noticed an improvement in accuracy over the BUIS, with rounds hitting in and around the X ring from a bench at 50 yards. The sight seemed on enough. Very pleasing.

Then, just for fun, I blazed away off-hand at the green terrorist's head. One "terr" down. So how do I rate the Primary Arms red dot sight, you ask. 



I know, I know, it's not an Aimpoint or an Eotech but I like it a lot, it's compact, light, seems rugged and it works. Is it tactical? Oh yes, very. But how much does it cost? That depends. If you bless someone's guns it might be free. Would you recommend one to a friend? Sure I would. Nice little optic.



Get a Primary Arms red dot sight, if you like. They're affordable and the one I sighted in works.

Happy Valentine's.

God Bless Guns


I drove out to see a parishioner yesterday and bless his guns. He's afraid that things will get bad and prepares accordingly. You might call him a "prepper." Part of that, for him, means a lot of custom AR15s and a couple of AR10s.

New York Times New World Order

Some people scoff at that in their New York Timesy condescension. "Look, what a stupid prepper," they sneer, "he probably thinks the government is too big and massively in debt. I bet he doesn't even believe in Global Warming. What an ignorant fool."

This Will Never Happen Here, in America

Well who'll be laughing when the grid goes down and you have to shoot to protect yourself and your family? Not my friend. He gave me a Primary Arms red dot in exchange for the blessing and promises to upgrade my AR.

Gabriel Possenti is the Patron Saint of shooters, in case you're interested.

Hillary


All the polls say Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the World. She's pretty brave and claims she was shot at by snipers, in the Balkans.


If you believe that,


You'll believe anything.


You know, like Benghazi.


She's poor too, by the way.

But what difference does it make?

God bless,

Anglican Consultative Council Taken Over By Mantis People!


Frightening new evidence appears to show that the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) has been taken over by Mantis People.

A young clergyperson, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims she was abducted  by a mantid and taken to the Council control room, which was operated by insect-like aliens, including one who appeared to be a bishop and wore long purple robes.

Abductee's Drawing of the Anglican Consultative Council

"It was terrifying," she stated, "I thought the Anglican Consultative Council was an Instrument of Unity, but it was overrun by all these Mantis People. They were feverishly working in the Council control room, like insects. One of them wore a purple robe, I think it was their leader, maybe a bishop."


Some commentators believe that the extraterrestrials are a "shady" and "dubious" threat to Anglicanism and humanity itself. 

A Mantis

"Doesn't sound like these beings want what's best for the human race after all!" said one pundit, "If they want to help us why then not just show themselves to the world? Why are people abducted in the middle of the night against their will, strapped to a table and subjected to all kinds of medical procedures? Why do they need our DNA? They are supposed to be so advanced??? This is way too shady and dubious!"

A Bishop


Before being taken over by what seems to be a sinister alien race, the Anglican Consultative Council was a respected component of the Anglican Communion and worked for church unity.

According to the abducted clergyperson, those days may be over.

Blinded By The Sun


Monday seemed as good a day as any to wake up ridiculously early and head off to the woods by the range. So that's what I did. I took a shotgun, of course, and got there as the sun was rising. What would I find in the woods?



Bobcats? Coyotes? Squirrels? Rabbits? A marauding hog? Well, you never know and as it turns out, none of these things crossed my path. What I saw instead were lots of Woodpeckers, who were busy kicking up a racket, and a big hawk that took off majestically from the top of an old oak.



Undaunted, I cranked off a few shots at a branch that was sticking out of the water of a trashy natural tank that's called The Beach.

How Very Awesome

After the firefight, which I won, I drove to Karen's Authentic Mexican Food in Itasca and bought two Bean & Brisket burritos.

Then I ate those twin pillars of orthodoxy, on the porch.

Sunday Hunt


I'd no sooner recovered from the pleasurable ministry of gun blessing, than a friend turned up from Dallas to go hunting. Nothing fancy, just an evening attempt to call coyotes.

So what happened? That's simple; we loaded up my truck, headed out to the fields, got into cover downwind and started to call. But the coyotes weren't buying, unlike the frogs, which were. Too bad we weren't on a frog hunt.



That's not to say the wiley beasts weren't there and we did hear a distant pack, yapping and howling into the night. Then, as we were loading back up to go, a lone howl cut through the starlit night, not too far away, though distances can be deceptive. Should we stay or should we go?

We left, and got a bite to eat at Dickey's BBQ Pit. This is a chain that started in Dallas and it serves "Q", which is fine by me. They were playing Waylon & Willie, which is also fine by me, as was the pulled pork sandwich, mac & cheese, and fried okra that I decided to buy.



"What's your special?" my friend asked Dickey's.
"Everything," Dickey's replied, impertinently.

You see, Dickey's does not have a Sunday "special" though your kids can eat there free, one per adult, if they're under 12. 

Ponder that.

Church & Guns


After I said the 1st Mass of Sunday, a member of the congregation asked me to bless his new gun. Some clergypersons would have been upset by that because they think guns are evil. I don't think they are, obviously, and was only too pleased to bless this gun, which was a WWII M1 carbine, like the ones that were used to fight the fanatical Japanese in the Pacific. 

The theme continued after the 2nd Mass of the day, when another congregant asked me to go out to his compound and bless his guns. I agreed, of course, and asked if he was still building guns on the AR platform. He assured me that he was and I asked how much they cost.

"How much do they cost, you know, ballpark."
"That depends, but around 1900."
"If only I had that kind of cash."
"Hey, don't worry. I'll sort you out."


Lee Enfield Jungle Carbine, Nairobi

Let's see what "don't worry" really means, but whatever the case, I'm clearly developing a firearms ministry. My homily on the powerful typology at work in Elisha raising a dead boy to life seemed to have rather less traction.

There's a moral in that, somewhere. In the meanwhile, a friend has sent in a photo of a Jungle Carbine, still in use, at Nairobi's National Park.

All hail Karen Blixen,
