As the Cities Burn.. Jeff Durbin of Apologia Radio Ministries — a pastor who is trustworthy on the justice and self defense fronts — makes a solid case that officer Derek Chauvin is guilty of first degree murder. Choke holds don’t always suffocate. They cut off blood to the brain and most trained police know..
I’m guessing elevators these days are programmable, but pity some older, elegant hotel with analog cars, leisurely gliding down the tower, only to stop at each floor’s down-button request, open up the door, reveal the one masked rider shaking her Karen head “no!” at anyone brave enough to test the six foot rule? This is..
Forget About This Virus; Are You Ready To Be Seen as a Walking Disease? If I properly understand the sort of world the various Pandemic-Oberführers are proposing, I’m surprised that more people — however many lives may be saved — aren’t pondering the freezing chill about to descend on our culture, and the eerie speed..

The science behind it is..
I hate to say it, but.. I really wish I didn’t have to feel vindicated, but even if you are a high level manager at a big corporate outfit, even if you have worked passionately in the private sector and you know the value of free markets, competition, and capitalism, even if you run a..
A friend of mine who lives in Dana Point is fretting that the beaches today look like the 4th of July. Too many people are enjoying themselves. Here on Riley’s Farm, we experienced a HUGE increase in walk-on sales — folks who were not wearing masks, not afraid to shake hands, not afraid to walk..
