The historical details of St. Brigid’s life are difficult to separate from legend. Many accounts are woven together with miracles and elements of pre-Christian Irish folklore. Even so, her influence is undeniable, and she remains one of the most important figures in Celtic and Irish history.

The incident happened at around 4:45 a.m. in the 12000 block of East Blake, near Pawnee and Webb Road. Wichita Police Department spokesperson Rick Pena said officers arrived to find the suspect with a gunshot wound to his leg. He was hospitalized in serious condition.
Officer Pena said the investigation determined the suspect was burglarizing the home and that the homeowner shot the suspect during a confrontation in the home.
However, at about 2 a.m., a 19-year-old with a graze wound to the shoulder walked into Century Farms Medical Center. He told officers he was stopped at a red light in the Chrysler on Nolensville Pike when a sedan pulled up next to him and began firing at his vehicle.
Police said the teen had a loaded rifle and began returning fire at the suspect vehicle.
“The suspect vehicle drove off while the victim abandoned his Chrysler and fled into the woods. He arrived at Century Farms eight hours after the shooting for treatment for his graze wound. The investigation is ongoing,” MNPD said.

Introduction My wife and I have been into prepping for over twenty years. We lived in Mississippi when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 and we were without power for ten days. That was our impetus to prepare after struggling with the basics when everything we had taken for granted failed. The suffering was immense, and the lessons keen. We vowed to never be unprepared again when niceties of civilization ceased to provide comfort. We started reading the Survival blog and the excellent articles soon after recovering from our hurricane wakeup call. The Problem Fast forward twenty years, and now living …

But if there is, these sort of suits should be a wakeup call. 1/27/26 Boston.com:
Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury mother accused of killing her three children, is now suing several of her mental health care providers, alleging they failed to diagnose her bipolar disorder and prescribed a revolving door of pharmaceuticals that triggered a psychotic break.
“Lindsay Clancy did everything a mother in her situation could do,” the medical malpractice lawsuit states. “Her husband advocated for her. Her family drove from out of state to help care for her children. And still, the medical system failed her completely.”
Filed last week in Norfolk Superior Court, the lawsuit accuses several medical providers of a “catastrophic failure” to properly diagnose, treat, and monitor Clancy as her postpartum mental health rapidly declined. Instead, the suit alleges, they subjected Clancy to a “disorganized, uncoordinated course of polypharmacy” that only made her worse.
Clancy had been experiencing auditory hallucinations for weeks leading up to the killings, according to the complaint, but the commanding voice took on a new urgency after her husband left to pick up dinner on Jan. 24, 2023.
“This is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself,” the voice purportedly said. “THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. YOU HAVE TO KILL THE KIDS SO YOU CAN KILL YOURSELF.’”
According to the lawsuit, Clancy entered a dissociative “dream-like state” as she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan inside the family’s home, telling them, “Go to God, baby.”
In the course of my mass murder research, I have found way too many similar tragedies where postpartum depression led to a mother murdering all her children, often followed by suicide. If you know someone who has recently given birth and is showing symptoms that include hallucinations, it is time for someone to intervene. One would hope mental health professionals would have seen this and said, "Wait a minute. The drugs are not working."
A woman who received a double mastectomy at the age of 16 under the guise of transgender-related healthcare was just awarded $2 million in the first successful medical-malpractice lawsuit brought by a destransitioner.
Fox Varian sued her New York-based psychologist and plastic surgeon for facilitating her gender-transition double mastectomy in 2019, independent reporter Benjamin Ryan who attended Varian’s recent trial, said. Although a host of detransitioners have sued doctors who rush to “affirm” gender confusion with life-altering surgeries, Varian’s is the first known successful lawsuit.
Claire Deacon, Varian’s mother, was led by her daughter’s psychologist to believe that breast removal was the only way to heal Varian’s gender dysphoria, she told the jury. At first Deacon told Varian’s psychologist Kenneth Einhorn that top surgery was “never gonna happen” if she could help it.
“This man was just so emphatic, and pushing and pushing, that I felt like there was no good decision,” she said, according to an Epoch Times report. “I think it was a scare tactic: I don’t believe it was malice, I think he believed what he was saying … but he was very, very wrong.”
The idea of her 16-year-old daughter receiving a mastectomy made her “physically ill,” Deacon said. But Deacon was led to believe by Einhorn that Varian would be unhappy unless she was affirmed in her gender dysphoria. It was the “the hardest, most difficult, gut-wrenching” decision, Deacon told the jury.
Defendants Einhorn and plastic surgeon Simon Chin implied that Varian wanted the medical procedure, and was even at risk of suicide should she not receive a mastectomy. Chin’s attorney called Deacon’s consent a “critical fact” of the case, and asked jurors what might have happened to a potentially suicidal Varian had Chin refused the surgery.
That seems a little light on the damages, but likely more than this butcher earned mutilating this girl. Yes, mother and daughter should have stood their ground and said NO, but "the science" and why not trust someone in a white coat?
For this incredibly long research project, I have sometimes needed to expand particular descriptors: what sort of location (work, school, public place, residence, other private location)? Cause has been a surprisingly straightforward one. There are cases for which no single cause really fits. This is one where first reports suggests divorce. The next report got a bit weird: not really at work, but work-related as well as confused relationships.
Hollywood, Fla. (1968)
08/07/1968: “Estranged husband of one of the daughters,” 31, forced entry into Phil Wein stein’s home, shooting him, his wife and two of the three daughters to death before suicide. (The third child was found by police hiding under the bed, unharmed.) Police later explained that the murderer had worked for the father’s law firm. He was fired because of “An intra-family love triangle involving two young sisters one of them, his wife.”

I ordered this 1935-vintage Winchester 94 Sporting Rifle from a Gunbroker seller last Saturday and picked it up yesterday, along with a couple boxes of Remington .30-30 170 grain JSP ammo. To pay for it, I put a couple of other guns that were gathering dust on consignment.
It's drilled and tapped to accept a tang sight, one of which I may add.
Overall it's in excellent shape for a 91 year old rifle. The bore is excellent with sharp rifling, no pits, and a good crown. It was very clean. After I hosed out the old congealed oil the action works smoothly. The wood is sound and except for nine decades of dings the original varnish is in very good condition.
It should be a fine shooter and I plan to take it into the woods after whitetail next Fall.
There are 6 notches cut into the bottom of the stock (disclosed in the GB listing). The left side of the butt bears the initials, "RED," so I've named the rifle "Old Red."
Along with the rifle I bought two boxes of Remington .30-30 170 grain Core Lokt JSPs. I have reloading dies, a pound of IMR-3031, a brick of large rifle primers, a box of Hornady Interlock 170 grain JSP bullets, and 250 pieces of Starline brass on the way. I also have fifty 178 grain .310" bullets hand cast from Lyman No.2 alloy on the way from MOD Outfitters that I'm looking forward to loading for the old Winchester.
Today I slugged the bore by driving a .32 caliber bullet through it which allowed me to measure groove diameter.
The rule of thumb for choosing the diameter of cast bullets for a rifle is to use those that are .001" to .002" over groove diameter. I'll load a few dummies with the .310" bullet to check functioning with, and also to verify that they chamber OK. Assuming all's good there I'll load up small batches of 10 with a couple different powders.

U.S. v. Hembree (5th Cir. 2026):
Defendant–Appellant Charles Hembree was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He has a single predicate felony conviction: a 2018 conviction for simple possession of methamphetamine. On appeal, Hembree challenges whether § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional as applied to him and raises various constitutional challenges to his conviction. For the reasons explained below, we find Hembree’s conviction unconstitutional as applied and reverse the district court’s conviction.
This is because under the Bruen standard, there is no tradition under U.S. law of disarming persons for drug abuse.
The government acknowledges that illegal drug possession was “a problem that the [founding-era legislatures] did not perceive” but anchors on the Supreme Court’s statements in Rahimi, which were echoed by our court in Diaz, that “a ʻdead ringer’ for or ʻhistorical twin’ to past regulations” is not required to “pass constitutional muster.” Instead, the government argues, “what matters is whether founding-era legislatures would have understood their powers to include the ability to pass such a law.” The government highlights that our court “in Diaz pointed to two aspects of [historical] tradition: laws severely punishing certain crimes at the time of the founding and laws disarming persons who pose a danger with firearms.” Following that approach, the government draws on two bodies of law to justify its use of methamphetamine possession as a predicate felony for § 922(g)(1). First, it points to “[h]istorical laws authorizing severe punishment for knowing possession of contraband,” arguing that these laws “show that permanent disarmament of those convicted of possessing illicitly obtained goods today, like Hembree, is consistent with the Second Amendment.” Examples offered by the government include laws punishing the knowing receipt of a stolen horse, the theft of mail, and the counterfeiting and forgery of public securities with death. Next, it points to “[h]istorical laws disarming dangerous people” and argues that “[d]rug crimes are inherently dangerous, even in situations where a defendant has ʻonly’ been convicted of ʻmere’ drug possession like Hembree, because the possession of narcotics entails the dealing with and enriching of drug traffickers.” The government further urges that “the facts of the underlying case demonstrate the dangerous nature of narcotics,” but the only facts it points to beyond the mere fact of Hembree’s felony conviction are the facts of the present § 922(g)(1) case.4 Hembree takes a narrower view of the historical analogue. He cites that, until a century ago, “there was virtually no effective regulation of narcotics in the United States.” David T. Courtwright, A Century of American Narcotics Policy, in Treating Drug Problems: Volume 2, 1 (Dean R. Gerstein & Henrick J. Harwood, eds., 1992). Hembree reasons that the “federal government did not even begin criminalizing non-medical drug use until the early Twentieth Century” and opium and other substances were legal. Further, Hembree posits that “[i]t was not until 1906 that the Pure Food and Drug Act first required that certain substances, such as alcohol, cocaine, and heroin, be accurately labeled, Pub. L. 59-384, 34 Stat. 768, 770 (repealed 1938), and the first ban on possession and distribution came about a decade later.” Under Diaz, he argues that § 922(g)(1) can only be constitutionally applied to a defendant if “his disqualifying convictions would have been subject to [harsh felony] punishments in the Founding Era.” Because “conduct similar to possession of methamphetamine was not even criminal, much less subject to the death penalty or forfeiture of estate,” at the Founding, Hembree argues that the government has not met its burden of proving that disarming him is within the tradition of regulations and punishment at the Founding.
The government argued that drug dealing is an inherently dangerous crime, but Hembree's conviction was for possession, not dealing.

Before the recent predatory killing of a woman in Colorado by a mountain lion, there were a number of warning events. Kristen Marie Kovatch was killed by a mountain lion on January 1 in Laminar County. According to The denvergazette.com, there were five confrontations with lions in the area from October 28 through December 23. Only one of the incidents involved the killing of a lion which was attacking a dog in the owner's yard.
The Denver Gazette article gleans three lessons from the series of events. The third is a set of recommendations about what to do if confronted by a lion in the wild.
And third – if a mountain lion is encountered in the wild, hazing it away is the proper approach opposed to attempting to run. Running can trigger a chase response, while hazing it away by throwing objects in its direction can get it to leave an area or back off. Loud noises can work, too. It’s important not to crouch down and to keep your eyes on the mountain lion while retreating, as well. Mountain lion attacks are extremely rare, but it’s important to know what to do if you happen to spot one in the area.
What is obviously missing is advise to carry a weapon for defense when walking or hiking in lion country. Mountain lions are not known for absorbing large amounts of lead or of continuing to attack when wounded. Colorado is an open carry state. No license is needed to carry in nearly all outdoor areas, with the exception of Denver. Counties may have the ability to regulate open carry, it does not appear to be utilized outside of Denver. In a vehicle, if you do not have a concealed carry permit, firearms are prohibited from having a round in the chamber.
Handguns are now so inexpensive, effective, and light, it is easy to obtain one and carry it. Lightweight semi-automatics are commonly available for under $200. Lightweight revolvers run a bit more. The KelTec P17 weighs 14 ounces loaded with 16 LR cartridges. It has recently been on sale for $159. The Smith & Wesson 351 PD revolver only weighs 15.4 ounces loaded with 7 rounds of .22 magnum cartridges. It can be had for about $700. The Ruger LCRX revolver weighs about 15 ounces and is available in .38 special, .357 magnum, .22 LR and .22 magnum for about $500. Any handgun carried for self defense could work well against a mountain lion.
There does not appear to be any incidents where mountain lions killed or severely injured people who were armed with any firearm. Conversely, there have been several incidents where people who were armed with firearms killed and/or drove off aggressive mountain lions. The most recent successful defense was near Buckeye, Arizona. In 2023, an archery hunter shot and killed a mountain lion in self defense in rural Wisconsin, using a bow and arrow! An attacking mountain lion was driven off with a Glock pistol in a video appearing in 2022. There are other documented examples, including 12 year old Alyssa Caldwell, who killed a big Mountain Lion which was stalking her in October of 2014. A 12 year old girl would not ordinarily be a match for a mountain lion. Alyssa's rifle and skill made all the difference.
It appears there were four different incidents where mountain lions approached people, killed dogs, or had to be driven off in the three months in the area before Kristen Marie Kovatch was killed. It is likely, if any of the people in the four incidents were armed, they could have killed or severely wounding a lion, preventing it from killing Kovatch.
Mountain lion attacks have ramped up since the mountain lion populations have expanded in the last 50 years. Being armed is insurance against these rare events as much as against more common attacks by dogs or human predators.

Gun Watch
According to the Albany Police Department (APD), officers were called to the 1500 block of Dawson Road around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday. They found Tommy Poole (36) with multiple gunshot wounds.
Their investigation revealed that Poole entered the apartment while the tenant was sleeping. Poole allegedly busted through a bedroom window, and when the tenant went to investigate, he found Poole crawling through the apartment on the ground.
The tenant attempted to hold Poole at gunpoint while calling police, but according to police, Poole attempted to reach for the tenant’s gun. The tenant then shot Poole multiple times.

At the SHOT Show, on January 21, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada, David Warrington, the White House Counsel, gave remarks prior to the Governors Forum. Larry Keane, the Senior Vice President & General Counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) introduced David Warrington before the start of the Governors Forum.
David Warrington, White House Counsel for President Trump, gave his remarks before the Governors' Forum began. They were concise and precise. Warrington has been with President Trump for some time. He was appointed as White House Counsel on January 20, 2025, at beginning of President Trump's second term. From David Warrington:
President Trump wants to convey that its very important to him, protecting the Second Amendment.
Warrington noted this was the first time a White House Counsel, a Deputy Attorney General, and the Head of the Civil Rights Division, have been at the SHOT Show to represent the President of the United States. It was the first time there has ever been a Civil Rights Division to protect the Second Amendment. No other President has been as supportive or as active in restoring the rights protected by the Second Amendment.
David Warrington has a history of working to support and protect the Second Amendment. His Public Financial Disclosure Report shows him as the Chairman, Treasurer, General Counsel, and President of the National Association for Gun Rights, Inc., (NAGR) from March of 2000 to December of 2024. Income from NAGR was listed as $6,000 for director fees. This is a small fraction of David Warrington's income. His salary for the Dhillon Law Group, Inc. was listed as $1,161,465 for 2024. He is a highly paid, highly successful attorney. It appears he has taken a substantial pay cut to work with President Trump at the White House.
David Warrington explained President Trump told him Second Amendment Supporters have been President Trump's most loyal followers and supporters through the last ten years, through difficult times and good times. The President appreciates loyalty and President Trump will continue to work for you. President Trump believes loyalty works both ways.
Larry Keane validated and supported David Warrington's statements, on the many firsts for the SHOT Show at the 2026 SHOT Show. The presence of many officials at the SHOT Show shows an interest and dedication far beyond previous presidents. David Warrington jokingly wondered if there were more members of the administration at the SHOT Show or at Davos. He wondered what was going on in D.C. when the administration was split between the SHOT Show and Davos. It was a joke with a serious message.
Seated just feet from David Warrington during his presentation, his demeanor and style were polished and stirring, as you would expect from a world class attorney. This correspondent is glad he is on the side of the Constitution and working to restore rights protected by the Second Amendment. His work with NAGR indicates an intimate knowledge of the playing field surrounding the struggle to restore rights protected by the Second Amendment.
David Warrington, as the White House Counsel, has the ear of the President. President Trump is fighting numerous battles and an entrenched bureaucracy and deep state which wants him gone. President Trump is winning, but the fight is far from over. The fate of the Republic hangs in the balance.
