Notes for Tuesday – November 08, 2016

I just heard that Janet “The Barbequer of Waco” Reno has died. I won’t pussyfoot around about this news. To be blunt, I’m always disappointed when I hear that a tyrant or Grand-Scale-Thug dies of natural causes. Never forget the 78 lives that were lost at Waco! And never forget that it was on Reno’s orders that young Elián González was forcibly returned to his father in communist Cuba, in 2000. o o o Today, we present another entry for Round 67 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest.

Notes for Monday – November 07, 2016

We have some sad news; Don Kates, a yeoman advocate for American gun owners’ rights passed away on November 1st. Even the leftist Wikipedia describes him glowingly: “His scholarship and litigation played important parts in the modern renaissance of the Second Amendment. Additionally, Kates played a major role in bringing together scholars and opinion leaders. Along with Stephen Halbrook, Kates deserved the primary credit for making the Second Amendment scholarship an important topic of modern scholarly interest.”

Notes for Sunday – November 06, 2016

November 7th is the anniversary of the death of actor Steve McQueen (born March 24, 1930, died November 7, 1980). The many well-publicized exploits in his tempestuous life and his enduring persona are well known. However, the end of his life is actually the most noteworthy part of his legacy, even though it seldom gets much publicity outside of Christian circles; he came to Jesus after he had been diagnosed with mesothelioma. He died with his forefinger pointing to his key verse in his Bible– Titus 1:2. o o o Today, we present another entry for Round 67 of the …

Hugh’s Quote of the Day:

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” – Matthew 24:37-39 (KJV)


Notes for Saturday – November 05, 2016

November 6, 2014 is the 70th anniversary of the day that B-24 Liberator co-pilot Al Millspaugh was shot down over Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, in 1944.
