… but we may be about to find out. For days, news has been going around the alt-right that revelations are about to come out about the Clintons that are so far out there that every other Clinton scandal pales beside them. The accusations have been very specific and involved (among other things) child sex abuse on a large scale. But all this “news” had its origins in one unreliably sourced story on one website that nobody ever heard of before. So like a lot of people, I’ve been watching but skeptically. Now Anonymous and WikiLeaks appear to be about…
FYI, over at TZP, everything in the store (except memberships) is 20% off between now and December 31. This includes those amazing roof-prism binoculars that were already a bargain at $29. Only 19 of those left as I write this. Also includes the super-sharp custom Kershaw folding knives, of which just 21 remain. And Zippo lighters, TZP yarmulkes, ear plugs with carrying cases, targets, genuine Victorinox Swiss Army knives, morale patches, and more. Good Hannukah or Christmas presents. For somebody else or for yourself. Several items are definitely “get ’em while you can,” as they will most likely not be…
As I dumpster dive through the post office recycling box this election season, I note a curious thing. Although the glossy political flyers have been sliding in fast and thick, I haven’t seen a single one sent by a candidate him- or herself or by a “Committee to Elect …” a candidate.

But oddly, in one state-house brawl that I’d have considered quite obscure, the flyers have been … well, flying. On many…
Remember those Amazon “Native Ads” we talked about last week? I ran the first of them today at the bottom of the interview for Lies of Omission. Take a look. Do you see it? If not, would you very kindly turn off your ad blocker for this site? (Instructions below.) For the month of November, Amazon is paying a 12% commission for purchases made through those ads. That’s huge; Amazon commissions usually range from 2% to 7.5%. The 12% applies only to the items listed in and purchased through the native ads. I believe it may also apply to items…
Recently I was interviewed for the documentary-to-be, Lies of Omission. There’s now an Indiegogo fundraiser with a three-minute teaser trailer. More footage will be shot and more interviews done if the filmmakers, T.L. Davis and his daughter Sammi Lee Davis, get the support they need from the pro-gun and freedom community. I recently talked with both T.L. and Sammi by email to find out how their project came to be and what their plans are for it. —– 1. What gave you the idea for “Lies of Omission”? TLD: Well, for me it was a frustration in watching lefty documentaries…
