Dana Loesch — Second Amendment Suffragette
From an interview with Colorado Peak Politics: “Coloradans need our help right now.

Read MoreCops careless with guns — again
Government officials are awfully concerned about how we mere private citizens manage our firearms.

Kevin Williamson, Nobody knows how to make a pencil, or a health care system, National Review, May 20, 2013: The problem of politics is the problem of knowledge.

Read MoreA Remarkable letter from Loretto Prison
John Kiriakou’s well-written letter-from-prison. [loads slow, please be patient. Use back button to return here] Duke University Economics Professor Mike Munger, on his Blog Kids Prefer Cheese, says this letter is “almost Gramsci quality.” I assume he is referring to the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937), who was imprisoned by Benito Mussolini’s fascist regime for…

I’ve read all of his books except the last one, The Last Man, which is sitting on my desk waiting for me to get to it. Never met him and didn’t know him personally, but when you read everything an author writes you begin to think of him as a friend. I admired him as…
