Christian jihadist—now there is an oxymoron for you. This sounds even stranger than constitutional conservative or libertarian Republican. Nevertheless, there are certain Christian military apologists and warmongers whom the term describes perfectly. There are a number of characteristics of a Christian jihadist. Christian jihadists excuse the U.S. military’s killing of Muslim civilians as “collateral damage.” Christian jihadists see no problem with the Israeli flag being displayed in a church along with the American flag and the Christian flag. Christian jihadists believe everything that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says about Iran and the Palestinians. Christian jihadists attend churches where one … Continue reading →

Poof! Let’s make all privately-owned guns disappear; and then murder, suicide, and crime in general will magically dissipate into the ether. To progressives, like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, more guns mean more violence and, therefore, fewer guns mean less violence. For progressives, this politically-correct assertion is all that is needed to justify their push for gun control. Fortunately, this simple-minded view of guns is unsupportable as it implies every human being is deranged enough to commit murder by merely having access to a gun. Don B. Kates and Gary Mauser, fortuitously, have produced a study dispelling the anti-gun drivel … Continue reading →

Under the reign former Chief Joel Rae, the Steamboat Springs, Colorado Police Department viewed the local citizenry as revenue-producing livestock, and officers were encouraged to “strike first and strike hard” whenever their targets displayed anything other than utter docility. Not surprisingly, this resulted in a blizzard of “excessive force” complaints and several civil rights lawsuits. More remarkable was the emergence of two whistleblowers whose public testimony led to the removal of Chief Rae — but who now are being targeted for retaliation. Last March, former Detective Dave Kleiber, who resigned from the SSPD in 2013,  published open letter to residents … Continue reading →

OLIVE LEAF is one of my favorite herbs for this time of year.  I use olive leaf for immune enhancement so that I do not get the flu.  However, olive leaf is more than just a great anti-viral. OLIVES in some form have been used throughout history.  Olives and olive oil are referenced throughout the Bible.  Olive leaf is the first herb mentioned after the flood.  Olive oil was used in ancient times as a special anointing oil for priests and kings.  The ancient Egyptians used an olive leaf extract to mummify their kings.  Throughout the ages, teas made from … Continue reading →

Western states spend trillions annually, purportedly in order to keep their citizens safe from terrorist attacks.  One might look at events such as what occurred in Paris and suggest that this demonstrates the failure of such efforts.  Another might suggest that the rarity of such attacks represents the success of these state efforts. So, which is it, or is it something else entirely?  From Spiegel comes “Europe’s Jihadists: What the Paris Attacks Tell Us about IS Strategy.”  This story offers an opportunity to examine possible answers to the question. NB: in this post I am not examining this issue from … Continue reading →
