Quote Of The Day
“Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel has come up with a great way to save lives — he just announced he won’t seek re-election. ” — Mark Simone
It says something that I, an admitted lover of Chicago, have had several second thoughts about visiting the place during the Emanuel Years because of safety concerns.
Shooting Party
Reader Brad sent me this link about bird-hunting in Britishland, with the result that I immediately emailed Mr. Free Market and told him to book me a spot in his hunting party for next year. I don’t care where the shooting takes place; I just want to be there. In fact, as I told Mr. FM, I’ll even schedule Kim’s European Vacation 2019 around those dates.

History Lesson
Not a bad little pocket history course on South Africa over at Ammo.com.
Telling the Afrikaners to “go home” is a nonsensical statement. They are not Dutch. They do not hold Dutch passports, nor would they at any point have been welcomed back by the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In many regions of South Africa, the Afrikaners have been around longer than the Bantus and have a stronger claim on the land, having purchased it from Khoisans. On the other hand, traditionally Bantu land was conquered from other Bantu tribes or taken by the Bantus from the Khoisans.
Go ahead and read it all — it’s a short piece — and you’ll be well informed on the topic in future.
