Patriots by David Drake

I originally read this back in 1996. It came in the latest Baen bundle so I read it again. I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyedd it. It takes Ethan Allen, the Green Mountain Boys, the American Revolution and drops them on a planet far, far away. It is good stuff and highly recommended.

...they make you pay, or try at least.

A Win [Mostly] for the Good Guys

Federal Judge Overturns Ban on Openly Carrying Guns in Public

The Bad Guys got to keep licensing requirements for individuals , storage restrictions on firearms in the home, and the ban on magazines holding over ten rounds.

Firearms registration, the ban on long gun caliber restrictions above .223, the ban based on certain "assault weapon" characteristics [a pistol grip under the action of the weapon, a folding or telescoping stock, a flare launcher, a flash suppressor, a forward pistol grip], the ban on carrying a handgun in public, and a $1,000 excise tax on pistols got tossed. I think we got more than we lost so this is a win [mostly] for the Good Guys.

The Span of Empire by Eric Flint and David Carrico

The next entry into Flint's Jao/Human series continues their search for allies in their war against the Ekhat. K. D Wentworth began the series with Flint but Carrico fills in quite well. I'm looking forward to the next. Highly recommended.

It's what they do.

In a Nutshell

There is no point denying or sugar-coating the plain fact that the voters this election year face a choice between two of the worst candidates in living memory. A professor at Morgan State University summarized the situation by saying that the upcoming debates may enable voters to decide which is the "less insufferable" candidate to be President of the United States.

My own take on this election is that the voter is in a situation much like that of an American fighter pilot in World War II, whose plane has been hit by enemy fire out over the Pacific Ocean and is beginning to burst into flames.

If he bails out, there is no guarantee that his parachute will open. But even if he lands safely in the ocean, he may be eaten by sharks. If he comes down on land, he may be captured by the Japanese and tortured and/or killed.

In other words, there are huge and potentially fatal risks. But, if he remains in the plane, he is doomed for certain. To me, Donald Trump represents multiple and potentially fatal risks. But Hillary Clinton is a certainty of disaster. Her vaunted "experience" is an experience of having repeatedly made decisions that turned out to be not merely wrong but catastrophic. - Thomas Sowell
