Pennsylvania sold 630,000 deer hunting licenses for the 2024 modern firearms season. A WW2 US infantry division in 1945 had 14,000 troops in it. In 2024, the “rifle strength” of deer hunters was equal to 45 divisions, or about half of the “90 division” US Army in WW2, albeit without the logistics and specialist units.
Pennsylvania offered 1.3 million licenses for sale in 2025, twice the number sold in 2025.
The Amish live peaceful lives because their “English” neighbors are armed to the teeth.
Gettysburg wasn’t a fluke. Google “John L. Burns”, and then imagine a million or so clones of him reporting for muster after the Pennsylvania Game Commission gives their licensing data to the military.
A “Greater Pennsylvania”? Hmmm … interesting idea.
Well, We The People are still greatly outmatched in one category. The U.S. military fought World War II on two different fronts with five (5) four-star generals. Today there are 37. đ
Note there are also 20,000,000 Americans with concealed carry licenses. Add that to the 29 states where a license isn’t necessary.
“albeit without the logistics”
Well, yes. But we are the logistics for the U.S. military.
One more. Why would We The People fight the military when they aren’t the problem?
The Amish and Mennonites I know (some quite well) are as enthusiastic hunters as anyone. Their meat markets regularly feature deer and antelope meat along with wild hunted birds.
Regarding the police and military:
as mentioned above,
Now that computers run everything,
it`s sort of like ‘In the kingdom of the
blind a one-eyed man is King’.
The comparison is no matter how
big or effective your police or military
is, the best hacker can possibly control
everything.
A guy with a laptop has already
demonstrated controlling an electric
car`s brakes, steering, etc.
Before we ditched our crap landline service out here 12 years ago, we used to keep a period-appropriate phone (a Bell Princess dial phone) in our retro Air-BNB. Even back then we had honeymooners and even older couples who had no idea how to use it, SO glad they all have their own phones now!
Too Tall had a great commentary I would love to repost, but the links included totally fucked up my comment function. I have tried to separate his text out to post-but the embedded link overrides & kills everything.
Too tall, maybe rewrite it sans link and repost? That file is like kryptonite to the load site.
Thanks, Chris. Here we go, late at night and from memory:

Jennica Pounds is a world-class data scientist who posts on Substack and X as âData Republican.â The New York Post did a story about her on May 9, 2025 about her work in support of Elon Musk and DOGE.
On Mach 8, she published her âData Analysis of the State of the Iranian Conflict on March 8, 2026,â on Substack and subtitled it: âAn attempt to OSINT the current state of affairs. (OSINT is the acronym for Open Source Intelligence.)
I cannot comment on her analysis and conclusions.
I will however, make three observations:
1. Jennica is her harshest and most demanding critic. She endlessly seeks input from a wide variety of experts, and continuously challenges and tests her own assumptions, analysis, and conclusions. To paraphrase Inspector Callahan (Dirty Harry): âJennica knows her limitations.â
2. âAinât nobody anybodyâs bitch!â Since 1979 the political and military leaders of Israel and the United States, regardless as to which parties were in power in which nation, have been paying attention to the problem of Iran. Operation Midnight Hammer sharpened the focus and increased the attention to detail. The threats and strengths of Iran, along with its vulnerabilities came together recently and each nation decided on its own, that now was the time to act. Each also decided on that coordinating their actions was much more powerful and likely to bring success, than acting unilaterally. Much like General Eisenhower on June 6, 1944, you have to go to war with the weather (situation) you have, not the ideal you want.
3. War is hard and Joint and Allied Operations are a whole new level of degree of difficulty. As a British Army Major wryly remarked during the First Gulf War: âWatching you Yanks work on Jointness make me wonder if Britain shouldnât have another go at the Colonies.â This time, the planning and execution of Operation Epic Fury at all levels of the political and military leadership of both nations has been superb.

The hereditary patricians and the nouveau riche on the left would like you to believe the “Amish” run everything.
They’d rather you resented the “Amish” as much as they do. While they import more Janissaries from Africa and points east to maintain the terror.

Nice try.

When Bill Clinton was first inaugurated as President in 1993, during the ceremony the Navy Blue Angels did their traditional overflight.
Rahm Emanuel, looking up, had his immediate visceral hatred-of-the-military reaction.
Then, according to him, he thought, “Oh yeah- they’re ours now“.
The police and military are an instrument. You need to concern yourself with who is conducting the orchestra.

Hah, indeed. LOL.

More accurately, it is the ayatollahâs, IRCG and all terrorist clients that âdrewâ us into war.
The 30,000+ dead protestors demanding an end to the theocracy, couldnât be reached for commentâŚ
Not really.

Well done Too Tall.
