~ Introduction ~
This piece is just a little bit of me reflecting and perhaps waxing a lil’ philosophical, as I considered this thing called “life”.
We look all around us, and My God the waste we see exhibited in people too numbed to their own existence to see the prison bars they have erected around themselves willingly – becoming no better than the show bull with the ring in his nose that enables his owners to more easily handle him. We see slothful, demanding, entitled, greedy, do-nothing wrecks of humanity shuffling all about us each day, not that this is the case for all us mere mortals but more than enough to continuously drag society into the depths of decline and disrepair, plodding along obeying every nonsensical order or demand or “mandate” put out by the so-called “elites” and the powers-that-be without ever offering the first utterance of complaint.

This mad rush to make everything connected to the inth degree with Artificial Intelligence – by the powers-that-be and the major countries around the globe – only ensures that the rise of tyranny marches on and keeps growing and hardening.
It is long past time for the United States of America to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and chart a new course of sovereign alliances rooted in mutual respect, shared Western principles, and an unyielding commitment to liberty. The events unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz in late March 2026 have laid bare what many clear-eyed Americans have suspected for decades: NATO is not an alliance of equals but a one-way protection racket that has drained American blood and treasure while fostering a continent-wide culture of dependency, entitlement, and creeping tyranny.
Just un-effin’-believable. He’s definitely a damned wrecking ball. Every time he wins me back just a little, he pulls some shit like this that simply makes me want to puke and pushes me miles away from him. I shudder to think of what comes after him, but I’m ready to see him go, not over his execution of the Iran war but over shit like this insane utterance. 
The French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre argued that human beings are condemned to freedom — that we are always responsible not only for our actions but for how we interpret them. In existential terms, one cannot hide behind ideology or collective narratives. If you believe an act was necessary, even just, then your lack of remorse may reflect a deeply integrated moral framework rather than moral deficiency. The discomfort may stem from external voices insisting that your interior landscape should look different. 
This is a small exercise in ethics and the massive expansion of criminal activity we now find in America, largely due to this corrupt, immoral and far too permissive society we’ve allowed to manifest itself in our midst, giving way to the worst aspects of human nature and leaving destruction and shattered lives in its wake.
Everything is happening so rapidly these days, that most folks are completely missing the historic significance of events, as they whizz on past us all. Trump just recently publicly suggested that maybe the U.S. should simply walk away from the Straits of Hormuz, since we don’t really use it that much – that we should let America and Asia fend for themselves for a change. And when one reporter questioned Trump on his rethinking of NATO, Trump quickly responded: “I don’t need Congress for that decision.”
From the dawn of human civilization, the soul of man has been locked in a timeless duel – not merely against the elements or the beasts of the wild, but against his fellow man, who seeks to chain him, and against the darker recesses of his own spirit, which whisper doubts and despair. This profound struggle, etched into the annals of history, finds a haunting echo in the life of Theodore John Kaczynski, a man whose rebellion against the leviathan of modern government and its technological appendages resonates with the conservative heart’s unyielding cry for true freedom.
It’s hard as hell to reconcile the fact that the FISA Reauthorization Act that was changed in 2017 to allow the NSA to spy on all Americans was signed by President Trump in 2018, even after it had become fairly common knowledge that it had been used against him by Obama, during his campaign for president in 2016. And then, after Trump signed the bill, it was soon discovered that Obama had still been spying on him after he was elected president right up to the January 20th hand over of the reins of power and “control” over the White House.
This old world didn’t send out invitations, for you young men and women — no fancy cards with gilt edges, no polite “RSVP” for the grand show of existence. Most of us tumbled into this big, roaring, wonderful room we call the earth by pure mischance, like a prospector stumbling on a claim he never filed. We didn’t ask for the ticket, nor the rough ride that brought us here. For me, it was a near thing from the start – kicking and screaming down the birth canal, fighting the dark tunnel like a wild mustang bucking a blizzard, half sure I’d never see the light of day. The doctor later said it was touch and go, but touch I did, and go I didn’t. I came bawling into a world brimming with hope and promise, only to find shadows waiting, the old evil that prowls every path, sniffing at every soul like a wolf at a campfire.
We are entering a new period where we will find ourselves facing an incredibly dangerous asymmetrical warfare mission conducted by Islamic terrorists of all stripes, aligned with homegrown domestic terrorists, and our response must be a hard, determined resolve to stop it dead in its tracks before it takes off and takes more innocent American lives. The law enforcement agents cannot be everywhere at once and often are not present in the first moments of a terrorist attack, and so, that leaves it to the good, decent, solid, and courageous Americans to fill the void by way of their own armed interventions in order to thwart evil wherever it rears its ugly head.
The more I see the more I remain convinced this nation is on an accelerated path to another civil war. The events that one might say started in 1833 to set the stage for civil war in 1860, steadily intensified and increased in number over that 27 year span over the issue of slavery.
In the dim glow of my easy chair, beneath the spell of classic rock anthems, jazz riffs, and soulful blues, my mind drifts through the labyrinth of a life forged in fire. Sixty-nine years on this spinning rock, and a profound sorrow grips me – not for myself, but for America, for humanity’s squandered promise. We enter this world as innocents, brimming with potential, yet too often we descend into baseness, immorality, and outright evil. What does it mean to be human in a world where the Golden Rule is trampled underfoot, where man’s eternal battle against his fellow man and the merciless forces of nature reveals our deepest flaws and rarest triumphs?
I’m an old man now, by some folks’ reckoning, and I don’t scare easy.
All the facts surrounding the ICE shooting of Alex Pretti still aren’t out, but I am of the mind that he absolutely got the ass beating he deserved – and maybe he did deserve to be shot if he still had his pistol on him and was reaching for it. But as near as I can gather, he was shot after he was disarmed, and if that’s the case – well Damn – ain’t that some real shit.
America is facing a coordinated ideological insurgency that uses immigration chaos, sanctuary policies, and far‑left protest movements and their useful communist Idiots as instruments of revolutionary change. This insurgency is seen as rooted in Marxist-Maoist ideology, supported by sympathetic institutions, and amplified – though not necessarily completely directed – by foreign adversaries and the financial backing of entities such as the Chinese Communist Party.
