Apparently, federal employees object to sending DOGE an email with a bullet point list of 5 things they accomplished at work last week. That's probably because they didn't accomplish five things.
In the interest of helping them understand how real life works, I'll list the following. So, here it goes. The following is what I accomplished at work over the last week. Remember, I'm 66 years old and "retired".
Practical Defense Systems:
- Meeting with web designers re: website updates (1 hr).
- Conference call with SEO company re: search listings (1/2 hr).
- Conference call with LMS vendor re: planned improvements (3/4 hr)
- Conference call with BMS vendor re: changes (1/2 hr).
- Meeting with accountant and CFO (2 hrs).
- Held range qualifications for security students (4.5 hrs)
- Completed production of Taser ECD course (9 hrs).
- Launched online Taser ECD course (3 hrs).

- Produced, edited, and posted two videos for GGTV Crew (8.5 hrs).

That was a normal week for me. I generally work between 60 and 75 hours each week. So, government employees, where are your bullet point lists of accomplishments for the week?
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.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
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."
— Craig Alanson’s fictional character, Major General Joe Bishop (Expeditionary Force)
