RECCE ROOM

Debate 1 is in the books. Some thoughts - WINNER - TRUMP Scanning through social media, the only people who think that Trump lost are alpha widows and very weak men.  This is the case for people on both sides. The very weak men are just that period.  The alpha widows are women who have been sexually promiscuous their entire lives, and have slept with many alphas , but can't seem to nail one down in marriage. 2ND PLACE - CHRIS WALLACE Although it is not part of the written duties of a debate moderator to jump into the debate himself, Chris Wallace most certainly did. Every time Trump would hand Biden a couple of heavy verbal blows, Wallace would insert himself and stop Trump. 3RD PLACE - JOE BIDEN Joe Biden came in 3rd in a two-man debate. Read that again. He read off a few scripted liberal talking points, and wound up losing his cool against his opponent, resorting to name calling: "This Guy," "Clown," "Racist." Remember when liberals use th...

How to fix my problem? 90% diet. 10% exercise.  I stopped running 6 years ago due to knee injury. I will resume walking when cleared.  Diet - 90% carnivore. And I must stick to it. And I shall.  To be sure, several close family members feel this is an error. They may even feel that it was meat that got me into this situation. There is simply no objective proof of that. The "studies" were based on surveys of people trying to remember what they ate - not actual controlled studies with closely managed variables (types and amounts of food given).  There is no diet that can guarantee human longevity.  However, there is a diet that can guarantee a shorter life - the standard American diet.  - Dr. Ken Berry.  At the time this was written, 9 days without a processed carbohydrate. Only a handful of green vegetables consumed. 16 pounds lost. Blood Glucose returning to normal levels. 

Tuesday, September 1 at noon, I was wheeled into an operating room. I was prepped and given anesthetic.  The objective was to insert a tube up my arm via the artery in my wrist. This procedure used to go in at the groin, but new advances have made it possible to perform via the wrist. The groin area was prepped, just in case.  The exploration revealed a blockage in one of the vessels on the heart, and a near blockage in another. Two stents were put in - one in each vessel.  Halfway through the procedure, I awake, pop my head up, and say, "hey, guys, how is it going?" This understandably caused a bit of commotion. They asked if I was in pain - I wasn't. My wrist burned, and otherwise, I was fine. Except my left hand and both feet hurt from laying on the hard surface for so long. The next time I awoke, they were wheeling me to my room. The procedure was a success.  The doctor put me on a chemical cocktail of meds - mostly blood thinners and blood pressure meds. This to...

Monday evening, August 31, I came home after my son's football game. I sat down to dinner, and a few bites in, I became uncomfortable. There was a tightening in my chest. My upper back also became tight, as did my upper left arm. After finishing the food, I laid down, and tried to get comfortable. No luck. Not even with changing of positions or having more water. I texted my wife to come into the room for a minute.  I think I'm having a heart attack.  10 minutes later, we are in the emergency room. She had driven. A neighbor stayed with my kids. A man was speaking with the receptionist, trying to find a friend or relative. I tried to wait for him to finish... but the discomfort had grown unbearable and was not stopping. I interrupted: Miss, I think I'm having a heart attack.  Within moments, I was in a bed in the emergency room, being attended to by a male RN whose name I remember, but will not disclose on here because I'm not certain he wants it shared. He gave me a ni...

Recent conversations relayed to the author: Q - What distance will we be shooting at this tactical carbine class? A - From 3 - 300 yards.  "Great! I'll bring my Savage 110 bolt action rifle!" Participant in a recent class did not hit as often at 300 as he wanted to. Participant changed ammo types twice in class (losing zero each time) and became understandably frustrated. Friend of participant says about his AR15 carbine equipped with a red dot: "Your instructor should have advised you that you were ill-equipped for the task at hand." Prospective participant asks about bringing multiple rifles to a carbine class: "Can I bring my bolt action with a scope for the long range portions?"  (the "long range" portions are 100, 200, and 300 yards.) Both of these statements proceed from a point of absolute ignorance. Sadly, this ignorance is widespread in and among the gun community. Mention shooting past 50 yards, and people start assuming one needs a...

This meme was shared on social media, and it reminded me about something from childhood. For the record, one platform of social media has a whole section dedicated to "insane parents." My mom had all of them beat.  That will be important to know here.  When this happened, I was about 12. We were gathered around, all looking at something (I forgot what). My mom shifted position, I was bumped, and I fell backwards. I landed on the edge of a milk crate that was being used to hold homeschool books.  The crate looked like this: When I landed on it, I yelled out in pain.  My mom fussed at me for being so "dramatic." I ran around a bit in a haze of pain, clenching my injured left buttock with my hand.  When I pulled my hand away, there was blood. A fair amount of blood. I showed my mom, and she examined the wound and called my dad to come home to take me to the hospital.  Side note: my dad's place of employment was very close to the hospital in downtown Chat...

Normally, just one reason should suffice, so pick from the nine reasons below why you should not date a single mom. This article inspired by an article online that tries to make the opposite points - why one should date a single mom. Of note, this author observes that among the thousands of single moms encountered, only one was a single mom due to husband's death (in the military - and he is thanked for  his service). The rest of the single moms encountered were so by their own design. The nine points and this blog's counter-points: 1. Weak men can’t handle us or our kids (Notice the shaming tactic and the psychological projection) The complaint is centered around a hypothetical toddler having an outburst and a man "unable to handle it." The reality so often is a 10-year-old having the same type of an outburst and the man she wishes to trap date is unwilling to tolerate it.  Counter Point - Don't date single moms. They refuse to parent their children.  2. We don’...
