Morton: Don’t Make it Easy for Agents Provocateurs to Justify Limiting Your Gun Rights

The Biden regime is not a sustainable political entity. It cannot continue to exist in its present state because it will collapse under the weight of its own spectacle.

ATF Death Watch 76: Brian Terry, Eric Holder and The Starr Chamber

In a perfect world, everybody takes their oaths of office seriously, tends to their knitting, and works hard as servants of We the People.

When generating sequels, authors develop a recognizable template for stamping out their stories. The public demands it. Publishers require it. The ribbons around the literary tent pole must be familiar. Predictable. Safe. But I don’t like reading form letters. Give me variety. Be original. Take a risk. So I was pleased to discover that Daniel Silva’s The Rembrandt Affair—the tenth novel by the author featuring legendary Israeli assassin Gabriel Allon—satisfied both my craving for something fresh and this die hard fan’s desire to hang out with old friends.
