As HMS Defiant points out, there's no There there:
The knowing world watches and mocks as the mighty Royal Navy and Great Britain struggle to get ONE SINGLE SHIP underway 12 days after the war started and still the damned thing is unable to leave port ...
You can say exactly the same about all of the Britain's pantywaist partners in NATO. Not one single one of them has ponied up a ship or fighter squadron or bomb wing to send off to do something about the sudden and complete dramatic disruption to their oil and gas supplies. NOT ONE OF THE BASTARDS HAS STIRRED.
I have watched as people are concerned that poor Britain is struggling to get a ship underway but that really isn't the real problem. You see, any relevant and serious government would have seen the damage to their economic fortunes by the oil and gas embargo and sortied the entire fleet and sent every other fighter and bomber to the Middle East to squash the Iranians and as we have all noticed, not one of them lifted a finger.
Yup. If they don't care about oil from the Gulf being cut off, let them buy Permian Basin fracked oil. Otherwise, His Majesty's Government would tell Lloyd's to keep insuring tankers. But they don't.
The USA has let them act like children for so long that they no longer know how to act like adults. c.f. German Chancellor Mertz' comments yesterday that shutting down German nuclear power was a huge mistake, but it's too late to change the decision. Maybe you should try adulting sometime, Chancellor.
And the last word goes to HMS Defiant:
I think the first wave of European refugees is looking around now and beginning their research; where do they want to settle when they pick themselves up and their families and maybe even their businesses and move lock, stock, and barrel to the United States or Western hemisphere as they start fleeing the dire fate their elites have arranged for them all.
This wave of destruction is now unstoppable.
Sure looks that way to me.

A heroic ROTC student fatally stabbed the crazed ISIS-linked gunman who opened fire inside an Old Dominion University classroom Thursday, preventing further carnage, law enforcement sources said.
Shooter Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, gunned down an instructor before the unidentified cadet jumped into action to put an end to the suspected terror attack on the Virginia college campus, according to sources.
Joliah had a prior conviction for attempting to aid ISIS. His first name is, of course, a coincidence.
On March 13, 1639 Cambridge New College, Massachusetts was renamed Harvard in honor of clergyman John Harvard. The College was founded as a Christian institution. All students were expected to be proficient in Latin before acceptance into the college. Scripture reading and prayer gatherings were held twice each day, for all students. Harvard College was founded with the motto: “All for the Glory of Christ.” It was changed to “Truth for Christ and the Church” in 1836. But the words “for Christ and the Church” were dropped from the motto in 1880, leaving the now familiar motto: Truth. (Veritas.) Pictured …

Editor’s Introductory Note: I’ve had many e-mailed questions about buying, transporting, and storing gasoline and diesel fuel in recent days. I also had a question about the available blends of gasoline. So, I thought it would be apropos to re-post a few fuel-related articles from SurvivalBlog’s deep archives. This article dates back 16 years, to April, 2010. It was written by an anonymous reader in the fuel refining industry. Background Fuel supplies are essential for many aspects of modern society.

Did y'all hear about this Aloha Akbar mother****** who wandered into a classroom at Old Dominion and started shooting? He shot the instructor, a retired military officer, but the cadets took things to the next level.
Students in the classroom reacted quickly once the shooting began. Authorities say several ROTC cadets confronted the gunman and physically subdued him before police arrived. Officials later confirmed that the suspect died during that confrontation and that he was not shot by the students who intervened. Investigators have not released details about the exact cause of death while the investigation continues.
He died during the confrontation but was not shot. I wonder how he died? Regardless, that is one less enemy combatant we need to worry about. It also sets the bar for others who have to deal with such nonsense.
Good Job, Old Dominion!

Busier than hell, lately. Momma did in November and it's time to break up the estate. My sister is handling the money. Dad left Momma in fairly good shape, financially. I'm handling the real estate. Lawyers, appraisers, lists of heirs and the accompanying negotiations. It's a busy time and I think I have turned the corner. Everyone agrees and no one's feelings are hurt.
Of course, this is also the competition season for CFDA and I'm involved in that. Just another layer of complexity.

It was a wide-ranging and fun interview made especially cool because one of the first commercial classes that Luke took 10 years ago was a weekend where I taught ECQ Gunfighting and Systems Collapse Medicine in […]As antisemitism continues to rise I want to remind my fellow Jewish Americans that if you aren't armed for self defense, you need to be. See my free book, "Guns for Jews," which is a free book I wrote to help Jewish Americans arm themselves. It's a PDF hosted on my Google Drive.
Ideally, your first gun should be a handgun to along with a concealed carry permit. However, many jurisdictions where Jewish Americans live make it difficult and time consuming to get a handgun and a carry permit. Something you can probably get with less paperwork and delay is a shotgun for home defense.
I've had this Mossberg 500 Mariner 12 gauge shotgun for close to 20 years. It's pretty much a dedicated home defense gun, although I did use it in one or two action matches over 10 years ago. Recently, I've done a few mods to make it more useful for me.
When choosing these modifications, I kept Greg Ellifritz's comments in these posts in mind:
- https://www.activeresponsetraining.net/shotguns-for-home-protection
- https://www.activeresponsetraining.net/home-defense-shotgun-questions-answered
So, after a couple different configurations over the years, I think I've settled on my final set up:
- Magpul SGA stock, set to my length of pull using spacers. Five extra rounds are kept in a Hill People Gear stock cuff. I also added a QD sling swivel stud to the stock.
- A Hi Viz clamp on fiber optic front sight, which much more visible and taller than the factory bead. This corrected the high point of impact with the factory bead.
- Defender Tactical Mini-Pro Lifer and Cartridge Arrestor System, so I can shoot the 1.75" mini shells.
- CVLIFE 1.25" quickly adjustable rifle sling.
- CDM Gear ROC-12 accessory rail.
- Inforce WML 400 lumen weapon light mounted so I can activate it using my right thumb (I'm left handed).
I've been wanting to try out 1.75" mini shells due to their reduced recoil and because you can load more in the tube magazine. Mossberg shotguns are easily modified to run with the mini shells with adapters from either Op Sol or Defender Tactical. The Mossberg 590S comes from the factory already setup to handle mini-shells.
Even if I keep the gun loaded with Federal 2.75" 00 Flitecontrol for now, the mini shell adaptor gives me the ability to use reduced recoil loads when I'm older.
Since I no longer have any small children in the house, the gun is kept in a closet "cruiser ready," i.e., full magazine, empty chamber, bolt locked forward.
Set up this way, the Mossberg will handle any home defense situation I can reasonably think of in my suburban location.

In Texas District 23 for the House of Representatives, Tony Gonzales has dropped out of the race, at the request of House Republican leaders. According to texasscorecard.com, House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican leaders called on Tony Gonzales to step aside from his current campaign. From texasscorecard.com:
In a joint statement, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and Conference Chair Lisa McClain said they have urged Gonzales to step aside from the race while the investigation proceeds.
The investigation into ethics complaints about Representative Gonzales started after Brandon Herrera received 43.3% of votes in the Republican primary election, while Gonzales received 41.7%. Then Gonzalez essentially confirmed an affair with a staffer who later committed suicide, on the Joe Pags Show. The allegations of the affair had mired Gonzales' campaign in the controversy. On March 5, 2026, Gonzales issued a statement on X, stating he would not continue to seek re-election. From X.com:
After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek re-election while serving out the rest of this Congress with the same commitment I’ve always had to my district. Through the rest of my term, I will continue fighting for my constituents, for whom I am eternally grateful,
Brandon Herrera posted on X, thanking Tony Gonzales for dropping out of the race. From X.com:
I appreciate Tony Gonzales for making the appropriate decision.
Texas District 23 covers a large chunk of west Texas. It is one of the largest congressional districts in the United States. It is a mostly rural district, running up to the edge of El Paso in the west, Oddessa in the east, and San Antonio in the southeast of the District.
In 2024, the district voted Republican, 180,720 votes to Democratic, 109,373. Because Herrera will not have to campaign in a runoff primary, he can conserve his resources to campaign against the Democratic challenger. The odds have shifted strongly in favor of Herrera becoming the next congressional representative from Texas district 23.
Analysis: With Gonzales dropping out of the race, it is likely the Democratic party will push significant funding to attempt to flip the seat. It is difficult to do in a district which has a strong conservative majority. Brandon Herrera has shown he can run a good primary campaign. Now he has to run a campaign in the general election. He has a good start in funding the campaign. The actions of Speaker Johnson and the leadership make it likely he will have an endorsement from President Trump and obtain some campaign funds from the Republican party.
The Democratic opposition has tried to paint Herrera as a fringe candidate. Such attacks are not as effective as they have been, because the media landscape is far more fractured and partisan than it has been in the past. In the past, Progressive candidates, both Republican and Democratic, could rely on the old, dominant, progressive media to set the narrative and decide what was a scandal, and what was not. "Scandals" for conservatives had a low threshold. Scandals for progressives tended to be swept under the rug. That dynamic is no longer dominant.

The confrontation escalated rapidly when the suspect allegedly produced a handgun and shot the victim in the upper chest and shoulder area, according to Sheriff Del Toro. Despite his injuries, the victim fled toward his own home, but was pursued by the armed suspect.
The chase ended in a physical struggle on a nearby lawn, according to the sheriff.
"Kind of a wrestling match ensued where the gun exchanged hands," Sheriff Del Toro told reporters during a press briefing at the scene. "The suspect was then fatally shot."
Officers were called to the park at around 9:20 p.m., where they found 30-year-old Rashad Liddwell shot in the chest. He was taken to the hospital but died less than an hour later, according to authorities.
Police said a woman shot the man, claiming self-defense and fear for her life. She has not been charged, but the investigation continues.
INDIANAPOLIS — The victim of an attack over the weekend in downtown Indianapolis told police two men tried to beat him in the street before he shot one in the stomach in self-defense. While one suspect has since been arrested, the other is recovering in the hospital.
