Ted Cruz standing room only crowd in Knoxville
The Take Off with Ted Tour started today at Farragut High School. WBIR reported over 1500 people in attendance. I think they estimated low.
Here is a long line waiting outside Farragut High School.
Here is a panoramic view of the crowd awaiting Ted.
Here is a shot of Ted shortly after he arrived at FHS.
Here is Cruz's speech, beginning to end, uncut. You won't find this in the soundbites from the media.
Ted is a Constitutional Conservative, and is gaining in the polls. I think he has a good chance of winning.
He is worth your support.

The Triad and the Donald
I spent many hours riding around from one missile site to another back in the seventies. I was in the USAF, stationed at F. E. Warren AFB, WY. Our goal was to keep as many missiles in the green, or ready to launch, as possible.
We were part of the triad, a three pronged nuclear spear:

Presidential election, 2016
I have stayed mostly silent, because this far out, it's anybody's guess.
I definitely plan to vote for Cruz if he is still in the race during the primary.
In the general election, I don't see how I could vote for any of the socialist/statist candidates on the Democratic side.
That leaves me with the Republican candidate.
I hope it will not be another of those "hold your nose and vote" situations.
Never forget, Clinton likes the Australian method of gun control.
Simply put, its

Economic systems
There are three economic systems* in the world:
Socialism - Fascism - Capitalism
On the left, we have socialism, which means the State owns and controls the means of production.
The extreme form of socialism is communism, socialists who force compliance at the point of a gun.
On the right is capitalism, in which the private sector owns and controls the means of production.
In the middle is fascism, where the private sector owns and the State controls the means of production.
----
The United States is usually thought of as a capitalist nation. Yet, since the 1930's we have had fascism on the farm.

Harbor Freight vs Ruby Tuesday
Last Week, Ruby Tuesday's CEO J. J. Buettgen , in a report to shareholders, said, "We're trying to find the most effective and efficient ways to get out and re-attract the families-with-kids segment, which was by far the single largest segment that we lost guest counts with when we repositioned the brand to be more upscale."
The Knoxville News-Sentinel carried the report.
On the other hand -------
I went to Harbor Freight today to buy a few things. Business was booming.
Mr. Buettgen, methinks that providing quality product at a reasonable price would have people waiting in line at Ruby's.
Lots of folks haven't gotten over your upscale repositioning some years ago. Memories run long.
I hope you are successful and turn thing around.

Planned Parenthood on fetal tissue
"The allegation that Planned Parenthood profits from fetal tissue is not true!" she says at about two minutes in.
I guess that's so, since PP is a non-profit organization.
Profit or not, the Nazi holocaust pales in comparison to the number of lives lost in the US since abortion was legalized.

Grants
Today, the local newspaper mentions a grant the Tennessee governor is giving away.
Does anyone ask, "Where did the money come from?"
There is no free stuff. Somebody has to pay. Us and/or our children.

A preview of the rapture of the Church
Many Christians (including myself) believe that the rapture* of the Church will usher in a period of unprecedented lawlessness.
Recent murders in Baltimore give, perhaps, a hint of what that will be like. The Holy Spirit of God dwells in His people specifically and in world generally. In somewhat of a parallel, the police are among us, restraining, by their very presence, many evil actions.
In Baltimore, we hear the police have effectively withdrawn from the scene. Good citizens have been disarmed by decades of Democratic politicians. The result: a current state of general lawlessness.
When the Holy Spirit withdraws concurrent with the rapture of the Church, those left behind can expect to see Baltimore cubed.
Will you be among those that leave, or among those that live in that utter chaos?
*The sudden taking of all living Christians from earth.

Old Glory flies again in View Harbor Subdivision
Tomorrow, April 19, we celebrate Patriots' Day the beginning of the American Revolution. Redcoats marched on Lexington and Concord, Massachusettes, commencing hostilities that ended in the foundation of the United States. Project Appleseed has a tremendous combination of related history telling and markmanship training. Check it out.
It is fitting that today, April 18, on the eve of Patriots' day, Veteran Delia Foster raised the flag again in her front yard. I was there when she was taken down. I wish I had been there today.
Congratulations Delia!

Tennessee Parking lot law improved
WBIR reports that the Governor Haslam has signed the bill to improve the parking lot law, better stated as the
This law partially fixes the previous law, which (mostly) removed criminal liability for having a gun locked in a vehicle in an employer's parking lot. Now, the law provides some legal remedy for employees fired for this act.
Really, why would these bigwigs want their employees working second shift to be disarmed on that midnight commute home?
Now, hear this:
If an employer really wants to fire you, he can build a dossier of your mistakes (you're only human), and out you go.

Basic Christianity, For People Who Don’t Like Christians
From The Virtual Militia:
Good morning to people who do not like Christians:
Today is Easter Sunday. As Muslims conduct search-and-destroy operations against Christians, and as progressive Americans ramp up anti-Christian rage, I am going to do something different with this blog post. This post is written specifically to those who harbor either whether rabid hatred or smoldering dislike against people who call themselves Christians. This post is not written to convince anyone of anything. It is written to state exactly what the Christian faith is. So, if you think the notion of some sort of Christian God is ridiculous superstition, then this post is for you. You may read here and see exactly what it is you think is so absurd. Here is a concise, informational description of what Christians actually believe: CONTINUE TO READ @ VIRTUAL MILITIA HERE.
