Africa, History, Travels

I already knew most of this story, and I used it as a basis for my (still-unfinished!) novel, Skeleton Coast.  Take an hour out of your busy life, and find out all about the most savage land in the world.  I’ve been there many times, sometimes with the South African Army, a few times on business and as a tourist, and only once to hunt.  So I’ve really only brushed on it, but it still continues to leave a mark in my memory.

It’s an absorbing show, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.  Unlike several of the videos on that channel, it’s light on commentary and long on observation.  And historically, it’s quite accurate.

Yer welcome.

Journalist Scum, Psychos, Two-Minute Hate

Here’s an interesting story.  A journalist has been plagued by a troll who has followed all her writings and articles, and infested the comments section with mean and nasty little snarks.  So the journo decided to find out exactly who this person was, and she actually went to the troll’s house (lair!) to confront her;  but the troll wasn’t home.  Go and read the details.  (I couldn’t post an excerpt because the article has been preserved as a screen save rather than as text, but the link should be good.)

...are any of those one hundred planned for the Dallas / N.Texas area?  No?  Well then, screw you, Greggs.

...I’ve heard of some strange sex fantasies, but this one’s a goodie.

The poor man;  how he must suffer.

That’s it for the news, such as it is.

Almost Righteous

Good Stuff, Punks

Executive summary:  This miserable scrote decided (for reasons now only known to himself) to go on a little extemporaneous murder of anyone who happened to be within range of his gun, ending up with three dead victims and over half a dozen badly-wounded ones.

He may well have gone on to greater things, but being that this was in Idaho, there happened to be an armed citizen in the immediate area, who jumped out of his car and popped off a shot or two in the scumbag’s general direction.  Said scumbag, alarmed that he might himself be shot and hearing police sirens in the distance, saved Our Hero the cost of an extra bullet and society of legal costs by just wasting [sic]  himself.

Had Our Hero’s aim been true, this would have been Righteous, but he missed, hence the title of this post.

Details are here.

Lesson learned:  you never know when a little trip to get a burger — even at an In-N-Out in Idaho — might put you in the proximity of scum like the above, so whatever the reason, if your trip is a short one always carry your frigging gun.

And, of course, in Vulcan’s name:  practice, practice, practice.

Afterthought:  We should ban In-N-Out Burger restaurants.  After all, if it saves just ONE life…

Interesting, But Irrelevant

Gummint, Legal Stuff, Rights

Before you read what I say next, you first need to read this article:

The Department of Justice has officially walked away from its appeal in one of the most important Second Amendment cases involving ordinary federal property. That’s a major win, but gun owners should understand the ruling before changing how they carry.

On July 23, 2026, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit dismissed the government’s appeal in Firearms Policy Coalition v. Blanche at the government’s request. Chief Judge Reed O’Connor’s permanent injunction therefore remains in place.

The federal government may not enforce the challenged post office firearm restrictions against the individual plaintiffs or any present or future member of the Firearms Policy Coalition, or the Second Amendment Foundation, when they possess or carry firearms in an “ordinary” United States Post Office or on surrounding postal property covered by the order.

The federal ban hasn’t disappeared for everyone. Every post office isn’t covered, and other laws still matter.

Etc., etc.

Fine, all good stuff, but…I haven’t set foot inside a Post Office building for about five years, so it’s irrelevant to me.
