We are experiencing technical difficulties
It seems Blogger has managed to lose the Blogroll and every other link on the left side. Please stand by. Update One: It seems that…

Way to go, people!
(Via the Drudge Report) According to the Washington Examiner, “A total of 1,992,219 background checks were processed through the bureau’s National Instant Criminal Background Check…
Well this would never work
You know, I would consider supporting a “Draft John Mauldin For President” campaign, but the man is obviously too intelligent to get tangled up in…
As Charlotte burns
We almost made it through the summer without the predicted “long, hot summer of discontent” coming to pass. Almost. The last couple of weeks…well, just…
Alert! One of the Seven Seals has been broken!
I have managed to purchase .22 LR ammo at a Walmart without any extra jumping through hoops such as knowing someone, arriving at some special…
Catching up on range time
I will say one thing for being involuntarily retired–you have time to catch up on things that you don’t have time to do when you’re…
Networking
As someone who has been involved at some level or another in survivalism, or it’s most recent incarnation, prepping, since the 70s, I’ve seen a…
Does this gun make me look fat?
(Via the Drudge Report) I can’t beat the original headline. Holsters designed for women. Gee–someone finally recognized their bodies are different and making it pink…
“It’s a recession is when your neighbor losses his job…”
But it’s a depression when you lose yours. If you have any interest in economics, you’ll recognize that joke. It’s a great joke, until it…
Free as in beer
From the email inbox, USGS 7.5 minute topo maps in pdf format, set up to be printed on you printer. Hillshading, meant to give you…
Well I don’t care for this one iota
(Via the Drudge Report) Maybe it’s time to measure me for a tinfoil hat. Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate…
A little something from the Washington Post on the American Redoubt
(Via the Drudge Report) My-oh-my, but the word on preppers is getting around. Even the Washington Post appears to take them seriously. By the standards…
After the Fall
Like many preppers, I do have the guilty pleasure of reading “doomer porn”, otherwise known as post-apocalyptic fiction (some would say science fiction). One of…
Yes Bob, yes they are
I picked this up from Michael Bane on Failbook. It’s worth reading about, oh, 25 times. You’re Too Stupid For This Conversation You Insist On…
You think it is going to get worse before it gets better?
John Mauldin thinks it is going to get worse as well. Much worse. Mauldin’s normally optimistic outlook has become somewhat tempered in the last year…
There are days
There are days, as my sainted mother would have said, that “just make your ass tired.” Hey, my momma could swear like a sailor. I’ve…
I would like to note the passing of a patriot
Mike Vanderboegh, husband, father of three, and founder of the III% movement passed peacefully in his beloved Alabama homeyesterday. Mike was not everyone’s cup of…
The things ones finds on the Intertubz
Son is something of a gamer, as in computer and console gamer. Enough so that he has purchased a specialized computer set up specifically for…
Where has this been all my life?
(Via Recomendo) A method in which “cords and charging cables will stay wrapped, won’t get tangled, and are very easy to unwrap.” I suspect it…
My pick for President of the United States
The noise of the nominating conventions is finally over. On one side, the gears are grinding as the monkey wrench known as Donald Trump continues…
Bu-bu-but guns never solve anything!
(Via the Drudge Report) One of the many whines of the leftist gun grabbers is that violence/guns/whatever it is they don’t like this week never…
A triumph of socialism
(Via the Drudge Report) Grocery shopping in Venezuela, er, Columbia. I remember a class I took, probably 15 years ago now, with an instructor who…
In case your nose hasn’t been rubbed in it enough
It’s not about guns, it’s about control, part 1,456. But very well done and some good quotes you can use to snag people for our…
Independence Day
Nope, not a “Happy Independence Day” here at the Freehold. It’s difficult for me to do as so many are urging and read the Declaration…
You won’t hear this in the mainstream media
(From Grass Roots North Carolina) The mainstream media will never run this story because it doesn’t fit in with their preferred narrative. Guns are bad,…
Training. You need some.
(Stolen from Michael Bane on Facebook) If you carry a firearm for self defense, you need training. You already know that. The question is, what…
Well, well
I jumped into the Blogger interface to do a quick bit of work and find out that I’m over 500,000 page views. In reality, I’ve…
The end of an era
As I told my friends, Saturday I went to witness history–the last Charlotte Gun Show at the old Metrolina Expo Center in Charlotte, NC. The…
Sometimes the memes just write themselves
I’ve pretty much stayed away from the subject of the terrorist attack in Orlando as far as the Intertubes goes. Other than saying I feel…
Stolen from Michael Bane
On Facebook, even. 🙂 The Killhouse Rules. Short, sweet and to the point. Just what we need to cut through all the emotion and nonsense…
