A meeting got cancelled, so I took a few minutes to fiddle with my Starlink ROAM. It took all of 10 minutes to set the dish on the roof, run the cable through the laundry room door and into my office, and plug in the router. Done.
The internet connection is excellent. I made a video conference call that worked great. Then I called Rick Travis at home using the Starlink WIFI and Voice of IP. Perfect. Now I'm streaming a movie. Outstanding!
This is going to be great on our off-grid place in Arizona. Plus, it's a terrific back-up in case of earthquake or other disaster at our home in California. I'm glad we did it. If there's ever a deal on the Mini, I'll probably do that as well.
In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.

Apparently, the shooter randomly shot nine people before a police officer gave him a much-needed lead injection. According to the news story, the suspect, who survived being shot by police (at least so far) has “a prior conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”
Three questions:
1. This joker has a violent criminal history. Why was he in possession of a firearm?
2. Why isn't Tucson Mayor Regina Romero (D) concerned about the answer to Question 1?
3. When will anti-gun politicians stop using tragedies like this to push for more gun control, which she did?
Actually, that last question answers itself.
At Lucille’s Bar & Grill, an armed citizen stopped a man who was allegedly threatening people with a knife. The attacker was shot and killed; no other injuries reported.
What I find most interest is the presence of an off-duty police officer who apparently did nothing. Thank God for the armed citizen.
"Skippy, you're not afraid of the outsider. You're afraid to hope. Giving in to fear is easy. You just accept there's nothing you can do, doom is inevitable, and there's no point in making any effort. If you dare to hope, then you risk your hopes getting crushed."
