I confess to you, that I was not more surprised than concerned at receiving so extraordinary a Letter from Mr. Duché, of whom I had entertained the most favourable opinion, and I am still willing to suppose, that it was rather dictated by his fears than by his real sentiments; but I very much doubt whether the great numbers of respectable Characters, in the State and Army, on whom he has bestowed the most unprovoked and unmerited abuse will ever attribute it to the same Cause, or forgive the Man who has artfully endeavoured to engage me to Sacrifice them to purchase my own safety. [More]

The state of the Commissary's department has given me more concern of late, than any thing else. Unless matters in that line are very speedily taken up and put in a better train, the most alarming consequences are to be apprehended. Congress are already informed upon the subject, Yet I shall transmit them that part of your Letter which relates to it. Your conduct in delivering the Salt to Mr. Colt so far from being censurable, gives you a claim, in my opinion, to the public thanks. Surely nothing can be more essential than laying up supplies of provision for the Army, and if the present moment is not siezed for the purpose I do not see how it will be possible to subsist it. [More]
I will shoot a machine gun. [More]Here's my ninth offering in Examiner.com's New Year's resolution special project.

I say "purchase" because I believe it is important to support authors who do such important work. They deserve to eat, too. [More]
Three veteran city police officers were charged Thursday in Circuit Court with separate crimes ranging from accessory to murder to forgery and official misconduct. [More]Wait a minute--I thought we were told three was a "spate."
As the man was firing shots, another citizen armed with a gun came around the corner and ordered the gunman to put his weapon down.

Memorable occasions for me include one of my first dates with my wife (I don't understand people who tell me their wives don't like guns--establishing compatibility is why we're supposed to get to know each other before getting into committed relationships), watching a visiting Japanese executive grin like a kid in a candy store as he fired off rounds from my .44 Magnum, and ditto for a Santa Monica "liberal" with my M1 Garand. I've had especially great times teaching my kids, but I think I'll leave that for its own resolution.

If there is any doubt about unquestioned preference for and allegiance to the United States, unencumbered by any undue foreign influence, DS must render a determination in favor of the national security and determine that individual ineligible for access. These same adjudicative principles are used in all federal personnel security programs.I submit ample evidence for such doubt exists. After all, we've already seen Arnold break two oaths.
I, ______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California...And before that, this one:
