Concealed Carry

MACDONALD: When Someone (Maybe) Needs To Get Shot

Pennsylvania allows open carry without a permit and concealed carry with one. While York, PA, prohibits discharge within its boundaries except for target practice and self-defense, the city faces a growing problem for which the law already provides a remedy. Mobs of young people are becoming more than just a nuisance. Witnesses told WGAL that … Read more

MACDONALD: Same Thing Here, If We Allow It

TL; DR: Much yet to be done about the whole right-left business, not the least of which is how a tyrannical, government-controlled, militant, socialist system remains pegged to the political right. National Socialism is left-wing, and barely to the right of Communism, which is how the Marxists managed it. March through the institutions, shouting about … Read more

MACDONALD: All of the Above?

Everything a society does is its construct. Religion, law- it is all conceived and adopted by a group of people and becomes their worldview. Their culture. Their “law.” Don Ewing recently wrote an article in which he reminds readers that Iran has promised to destroy us. By any means, and that includes long-range missiles with … Read more

MACDONALD: Gordon MacDonald, Lessons, and Elections

There’s a line from the original DIE HARD movie- lots of them, truly- but this one popped into my head when I heard the news that the New Hampshire State Supreme Court Chief Justice resigned (after a fake medical leave). “We’re gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.” New Hampshire’s judicial system could use … Read more

MACDONALD: The Left’s Growing Culture of Death

The Marxist and National Socialists throughout history killed easily because they created a culture that allowed it, and America, you are looking that culture in the eye. Democrats are the party of Darkness with all the connotations you can imagine. Their energy policy plans will likely leave us in darkness, which, I suppose, makes it … Read more

Vote, ballot, ballot box

MACDONALD: “To My Fellow Out-of-State Students…”

Letting transient voters have a say in matters with long-term consequences is an injustice. The Democratic Party wouldn’t let 500 republicans in to vote at their annual convention and then just live with the results. No organization would. They could replace officers, alter the charter or bylaws, and, in the case of a contested matter … Read more

MACDONALD: The 5K Bait

Watching the left lose its hive mind over Trump’s $5000.00 midterm convention “election bribe” is not just predictable but hilarious. We have no idea what he means, where it might come from, how it might manifest, or whether he’s serious. A check, a tax rebate or credit, an in-pocket real-world benefit courtesy of the invisible … Read more

MACDONALD: Guess Who Just Rejected Assisted Suicide?

In May of 2025, I dropped my first piece on the rising tide of assisted suicide in the United Kingdom. A bill had been proposed to legalize the practice of physician-assisted death (or variations of the same) with the appropriate amount of government “oversight.” Appropriate here means the health system is run by the government, … Read more

MACDONALD: What’s So Funny?

Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one. Statistically, the majority of those who died on 9/11 in New York City were probably Democrats. Some of them were rich Democrats. Maybe even old-school Democrats, the sort who would have objected to the brash, youthful, and open embrace of Socialism and anti-Americanism that dominates the young … Read more

MACDONALD: The Greatest Threat In 2026 Is …?

I was pondering what to write about when it occurred to me that we had not yet had our annual fearmongering over Triple E: Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Unless I missed it and I’ve been Johnny-on-the-spot all year with the latest thing. We had the not-so-catastrophic rise in tick bites, Hantavirus, Ebola, Tick bites again (Lone … Read more

MACDONALD: Like A Bag Full of Cats

Michael Shellenberger has some great content on his Substack; you should check it out, especially if you are still confused about why liberals are so confused about why more and more voters don’t trust them. Progressive politics took a beating in South America, a trend that has spread to Europe, where the dirty peasants have … Read more

MACDONALD: Partisan Prosecutions

When a parody video of Becca Balint hit the internet, the libs were triggered. The Congresswoman got all huffy, and the Progressive AG Charity Clark sent a threatening letter to the video’s creator.  [Henry L.] Poitras has said he uses artificial intelligence (A.I.) in his work that “mocks and exaggerates the conduct and statements of … Read more

MACDONALD: I Told You So…

I think I mentioned that violence on the left at scale was inevitable. Not the parade, protest, riot sort, something much more intentional and aggressive. Yes, you’d have the other stuff we’ve seen, but it would be the widespread insurrection we’ve long expected. And when the DSA started putting “points on the board,” as Democrat … Read more
