Happy Mothers Day

I'm off to the store, to make one of those special dinners a guy like me had to know how to cook up in order to get dates back in my single days. Bone-in rib roast with this Amish horseradish I buy typically works real well on occasions like this, where you want to show Sweetie she's appreciated. Add some red potatoes, carrots, parsnips and mushrooms, and then my special Swiss cheese bread...I'd better get busy.

Done blogging for today. Later tonight I have some scanning to do--that library trip I mentioned yesterday paid off. Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I should have an exclusive tomorrow on Gun Rights Examiner.

This is a Job...for Oath Keepers

"Suggesting that our troops would attack the leaders of the very democracy they've sworn to sacrifice their lives for is an insult to their integrity, honor, and professionalism." [More]
When we see this kind of blatant misdirection happening, let's all take a moment when we can to correct the record. Here's my comment (177):
"Suggesting that our troops would attack the leaders of the very democracy they've sworn to sacrifice their lives for is an insult to their integrity, honor, and professionalism."

Media Matters seems not to understand that accuracy matters. That oath is not to "sacrifice their lives" for "democracy," but to "support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic."

Big difference.

Google "Oath Keepers."

By promulgating that deception, Eric Burns is an insult to what is supposed to have been a watchdog, not a lapdog press.

Feel free to join the the fun. Maybe even explain how one could use "Nancy Pelosi" and "domestic enemy" in the same sentence...

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Here's what happened:

"Mother told police she feared stalker would kill her. They didn't come. That night she was murdered

"A mother of three was knifed to death by a stalker just hours after she rang police begging for help..." [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column features a warning from an ally who has already gone through what's coming our way.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a mate, chap, bloke or friend?

This Day in History: May 10

May 10, 1777 at Piscataway, New Jersey - On May 10, hoping to surprise the British 42nd Highlanders that was posted at Piscataway, Maj. Gen. Adam Stephen, with about 150 men, attacked them. Piscataway is located between Brunswick and Amboy. The Americans were driven off, with the British pursuing them for almost 3 miles to the American camp at Metuchen. Gen. George Washington investigated the engagement, causing him to write a strong letter to Stephen expressing how displeased he was with Stephen's conduct. Conclusion: British Victory. Casualties: Americans: 27k, 38-73c; British: 8-9k, 19w [More]
