or is he telling the truth?

You decide.

Seems that the Europeans are beginning to take ground back from the fundamentalist muslims.

They want their countries back, and who can blame them? While releigious freedom is a good thing, the failure to adapt to the mores of the host country will evenutally result in a backlash.

And it has begun.

If you haven’t read “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” then I urge you to take the time. It’s “science fiction”, but not really, if you know what I mean…..

You can now get a copy ONLINE. Gratis.

The story, written in 1966 is relevant even today. VERY worth your time to read.

How to deal with pirates.

The west could learn from this.

Nice doesn’t cut it with some people. 

Old Jarhead REALLY get this one right.

I feel sorry for the folks who aren’t Jihadists but look like the folks detained by the authorities.

Or is it that they wish to damage this already reeling country’s economy even farther? 

How many other businesses must fail…How many other people must lose their jobs?

Are they trying to damage the country even more?

I used to think it was incompetence……I am beginning to think that it is instead malice. All under, of course, the aegis of preventing the now debunked Global Warming….

I think that I will go check my rope. At some point we are gonna need to use it.
