There was a time in American history when this was the goal of a “Man Cave” for middle-class men. Living like the aristocracy was a goal. Today, it’s TVs, gaming, not books. (Blah, blah, I know, “Well, not for me and I read on a tablet”…Ok, congrats. No need to reply).

Watching Terminal List with the wife. A scene reminded me when I had to run up a mountain carrying about 80lbs in my pack while rounds snapped over head and kicked up rocks at my feet. I was hoping one would hit me because I was so tired. They missed, made it to the top.

Unpopular take: mass immigration could save this country. These are hard-working, mostly Christian/Catholic people coming in. The Democrats want to immediately hook them on welfare and turn them into a permanent underclass voting bloc. We could prevent that by assimilating them.
