RebelFire 1.0

Out of the Gray Zone


I just ordered the new novel by Claire Wolfe and Aaron Zelman.

The first 100 people to order get an autographed copy. I hope mine made it in under the wire. If not, I'll have to mail it to them with return postage--either way, I intend to get those autographs.

Obviously, I can't review something I haven't yet read--but I have tremendous faith--earned based on past performance--in their exceptional ability to lead, educate and inspire us.

I ask everyone reading this to acknowledge that these people deserve material rewards for their first-rate labors. If you're like me, and have gratitude toward those who bring us ideas, perpective and insights, you'll want to keep those efforts coming.

What better way is there to do that than by giving yourself a gift?

Everybody wins!

That's the way it's supposed to work.

Finger-Lickin’ Foolishness

Many thanks to FreedomSight for bringing another solemn day of reverence to my attention. International Respect for Chickens Day sounds like the type of holiday worthy of a paid day off for government workers.

I usually respect mine Original Recipe, but get Extra Crunchy when I feel like living dangerously.

But in all the hooplah, let’s not forget an often-overlooked minority. Please set aside a moment of silence during the festivities to Respect Headless Chickens, too.

Mike will thank you for it.

Oh, never mind. He has his own festival the third weekend in May.

Victim Empowerment Media Project

If you or someone you know has been a victim of violent crime Deborah Courtney would like to hear from you:

"I am actively searching to cast 26 victims of crime to be interviewed for a TV show, both male and female, who may have been accosted, assaulted, mugged, car jacked, or had any other crime perpetrated upon them, that would like to take control back in their life and be empowered through personal safety and awareness training, and a firearms class, as well. The person must be willing to share what happened to him or her on camera, and then we will all go and receive a $1200 training course for FREE at Front Sight, in Nevada, and then we are to be interviewed as to whether the personal safety and firearms training has made us feel more safe and empowered, or not."

If you're interested and would like more information, contact her at DACourtney@earthlink.net.

“More than 600 students sat through a lockdown and building search after a passerby reported a "suspicious object" being carried into the school.

“The 2-foot-long cylinder wrapped in white fabric later was revealed to be a giant burrito...”
