The English army, led by King Henry V, famously achieved victory in spite of the numerical superiority of its opponent. The battle repeated other English successes in the Hundred Years’ War.
It was commemorated in the Shakespeare play Henry V.
There are several movie versions of Henry V, including ones staring Kenneth Branagh, and Laurence Olivier. One of my favorite versions of the Band of Brothers speech is from the 1994 movie Renaissance Man.
What follows is from the Congressional testimony by former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott.
Border Patrol zones across Texas, Arizona, and California had no agent presence for weeks and months at a time. Those who did not want to be caught could simply walk in. We have no idea who and what entered our country over this time.
Police fired tear gas at protesters in Lyon, Lille, Toulouse, Montpellier and Nantes, hours after Interior Minister Laurent Nunez warned: "We will not tolerate any violence or any disturbance of public order."
In Paris, an armoured vehicle was stationed behind the National Assembly, while in Marseille, security forces patrolled the streets alongside armoured vehicles and a water cannon.

The Left and the media (but I repeat myself) always say that a good guy with a gun never does anything. But we have had two very high-profile cases recently, and one was in their part of Oregon.
Hundreds of Deschutes County residents have applied to obtain a concealed handgun license since a Bend resident gunned down a 16-year-old shooter at Silver Rail Elementary School last week.
The Left will be distressed.
Aside from the Oregon school shooting, there has been the In-N-Out Burger shooting.
Some automated assistants appear to be taking actions beyond users' instructions, prompting questions about account security and who bears responsibility when something goes wrong.
You can't have it both ways. You can't let a random AI agent access your financial accounts and then claim you are not responsible if anything goes wrong.
In the JPMorganChase third-quarter earnings transcript, Dimon also raised concerns about liability when customers rely on AI tools that subsequently misuse their information.
Translation: We know the hackers are chomping at the bit to be able to do funds transfer. Oh, you think the hackers won't take over AI? You haven't been paying attention. (Who do you think built the internet? Al Gore?)
Some of the more technical articles on this topic have mentioned that the banks are considering a read-only approach to letting AI have access to bank accounts. That would let the AI summarize the state of finances without risking "rouge actions."
I have trouble seeing why I would want an AI to look at my checking or credit card statements, though I guess you could ask it to forecast your expenses for the coming quarter, based on the prior quarter.
Ayron Jones is a singer-songwriter I stumbled across recently. It is hard to describe his music. I've seen one article say he sounds like a 1970s rocker. And elements of that are true, but he also draws on musical genres like Grunge, which is definitely not '70s.
Being a guitarist from the Pacific Northwest, he does get compared to Hendrix. I haven't heard enough of his music to say, but I think Hendrix was a better guitarist, and Jones is the better songwriter.

Europe has been working for some time on a spacecraft called Space Rider designed to be reused. The European Space Agency (ESA) performed a drop test back on October 6 intended to test out its parachute system, and it failed. Badly.
Three days after the shooting, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said it will not charge the woman who fired the shots, saying there is not enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was not acting in self-defense or in defense of someone else.
That is because it sounds like she was acting in defense of someone else. (Is the DA disappointed he can't prosecute, or is that the Professional Journalist™ who is disappointed?)
Security video released by Dearborn Police shows the chaotic moments inside the store. The footage shows a woman in a pink jacket entering with her 36-year-old boyfriend, who is wearing a gray track suit.
After the boyfriend greets a man who appears to be a shopper, a man in blue attacks the boyfriend. That's when the woman can be seen taking a firearm out of her purse and pulling the trigger.
The guy who got shot is in critical condition.
In the face of video evidence, the DA apparently concluded he could not win. Not that a prosecution would not be justice. DAs, for the most part, care about winning, not Justice.
A 71-year-old man was killed while fishing in Winter Garden after being attacked by a nearly 12-foot alligator, police said.
I'm no expert on alligators, but this strikes me as an unusual attack for October.
The other attack was 28 June of this year when Brittany Clark was killed while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River at Little Big Econ State Forest.
This attack took place in Winter Garden, Florida, which is about 10 miles west of Orlando.
The victim, who was identified by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission as Steven Hamilton from Winter Park, was killed at Dr. Bradford Memorial Park.
He was apparently standing on the bank, fishing when he was attacked, and pulled underwater. He was submerged for about an hour.
The alligator was killed. Another report said the alligator was relocated, but I think that was to soften things for the tourist trade.
If you're in Florida, and there is fresh water, even if it is a puddle, or a car wash, there is a distinct possibility that water contains a gator.
The Legal Aid Agency (LAA), an executive agency of the UK's Ministry of Justice that manages the country's Public Defender Service, says attackers who breached its IT systems in April 2025 stole records dating back to 1978.
The agency employs around 1,250 staff, oversees billions in legal funding, and works with approximately 2,000 providers, including barristers, solicitor firms, and non-profit organizations that deliver civil and criminal legal aid services in England and Wales.
Apparently to billions of pounds of funding doesn't include much for security. It never does.
The hack included payment information for service providers, and a bunch of more generic information on providers are recipients of legal help.
But back the 48 years. How often does case information from 25 years ago, or more, actually NEEDED? Why couldn't it be in an offline system and requested?
I suppose someone thought that they went to all that trouble to computerize the data from 1978, it should all be in one big heap. Makes it "easy to ask questions."
But then I worked on systems that did exactly that, because storage space was expensive, back in the day.‡
And the wheel turns.
This week, the UK Housing Ombudsman Service, a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Ministry of Housing that settles disputes between social housing residents and social landlords in England, disclosed that it is investigating a third-party IT security incident that impacted its case management system.
Someday government and commercial organizations will take security seriously. Until that time we all need to deal with the fact that drivers license info has been hacked, credit cards, emails, etc. It used to be that the company or organization in question would give you one year of credit monitoring, but they don't even do that anymore. Too bad. So sad. Hope you have a lot of luck in the future.

A man who was being held on suspicion of murder after a shooting that fatally wounded his brother was acting in self-defense and is being released from custody on an investigative hold, Benton County Prosecutor’s Office officials said.
Prosser, Washington, is approximately 100 miles east-northeast of Portland, Oregon.
The bad news is that the guy they initially arrested, was held in jail. The good news is that they only held him for 2 or 3 days (I can't tell from the article), before a review of the evidence said it was probably self-defense.
Benton County Prosecutor's Office investigators said further review and follow-up by law enforcement and prosecutors suggests Escobar acted in self-defense when he shot Salazar. Deputies said Salazar had engaged in threatening behavior before the fight, had continued threatening behavior after returning from a mental health crisis at a hospital, and approached Escobar in a threatening manner before the shooting.
Self-defense is a human right, and it might even be your legal right in a blue state.

The state of California and the City of Los Angeles have tried to work around the margins, but the film industry in California isn't hurting because of the margins. Production levels in LA dropped 3.7% in the third quarter, despite the efforts.
California’s $750 million bet on Hollywood has not reversed the overall decline in production, according to data released Wednesday by FilmLA.
Instead, production levels fell 3.7% in the third quarter — even as the share of projects receiving state subsidies continued to rise. Location shoots remain well below the five-year average.

Sheriff Jayson Parker of Webster Parish, had some strong words on self-defense.
Our citizens have a right to defend themselves in their own home.
It started when the guy who got shot attacked a woman, who was driving, causing her to crash. He then went to trailer park and broke into a home. It was described as starting as a domestic incident.
According to Parker, McFarland went to a nearby mobile home and began banging on the door. When no one answered, he went around to the back of the home, stood on an air-conditioning unit and cut through a window screen to get inside.
He smashed 2 car windows on his trip around the home.
The homeowner was armed and waiting for him when he entered through the window. The homeowner fired multiple times. The injuries were fatal.
An investigation is ongoing, but no charges are expected to be filed against the homeowner.
That is because this didn't happen in New Jersey.
Minden, Louisiana, is about 25 miles east of Shreveport, or about 195 miles east of Dallas, Texas.

When Papa Roach released their breakout single, "Last Resort," in 2000, they were on the radio constantly. Then I sort of lost track of them, and then I stopped relying on the radio for my music, and I really lost track of them. It turns out they are still making music, and some of it is good.
Today's song is nothing like "Last Resort," however. (I'm not sure if I don't like "Last Resort," or I'm still sick of how much it was on the radio.)
A state investigation into the misuse of Flock Safety license plate reader cameras"uncovered text messages in which Charlotte police officers competed to pull over the most Black drivers, WBTV reported.
At least six officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were recommended to be fired or to resign after the messages were discovered, according to the CBS affiliate in Charlotte. In a statement to the station, the department neither confirmed nor denied the details.
This state of affairs was discovered when another officer, or one of these, was investigated for using Flock to help a friend who ended up on the wrong side of a drug investigation.
The details can be found in the video below. One of the details is that the racist (allegedly) behavior of the cops involved goes back a decade.
Channel 9 first reported on the controversial messages last week, and CMPD Chief Estella Patterson said in a news conference that several of the officers had already resigned. She said all of the officers involved were cited for termination, and she was working to revoke their police licenses in the state.
And as bigots are almost never limited in their views...
CMPD Chief Estella Patterson revealed in last week’s news conference that the text messages dated back several years, and they included racist, sexist, and religiously biased messages.

How would you respond to a person breaking into your home at 4 o'clock in the morning on a Saturday?
Mesquite Police responded to a report of a shooting around 4:15 a.m. Saturday in the 2600 block of Brushwood Lane. Upon arrival, officers found a man outside the home with a gunshot wound and rendered first aid.
According to investigators, residents inside the house woke up to the sound of loud banging. When one resident went to investigate, they saw an individual breaking into the home and fired a weapon, striking the suspect.
The guy who got shot, was arrested by the cops, and taken to a local hospital by EMTs.
Mesquite, Texas, is about a 5 or 10 mile drive east of downtown Dallas.
Very little information, has been released about this incident, but I have a few of basic questions. The first being why on earth would anyone break into a home in Texas? This guy got shot. He could have been killed. What was he expecting to happen in Texas when he was banging on a door or window at 4 in the morning? What did he expect to get away with?
For all of this I want to believe that drugs must have been involved, but the truth is that people are just that stupid.

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has compiled a new fact sheet refuting 85 documented claims from anti-gun groups, advocates and public officials who stated pro-Second Amendment court rulings and reforms would produce more shootings, more deaths and immediate surges in violence.
From the Bruen Supreme Court decision, to permitless carry across many states, the anti-gun crowd is always screaming about how blood will be running in the street. (If you go back far enough, that is exactly what they said about the change from "may issue" to "shall issue" concealed carry permit laws.)

Lex Legion is a super group. It consists of vocalist Nils K. Rue, with Andy LaRocque and Pete Blakk playing guitar, bassist Hal Patino, and Mikkey Dee on drums. Mikkey Dee (born Micael Delaoglou) played for the English, Heavy Metal band Motörhead from 1992 until 2015, and then he moved to the German band Scorpions. LaRocque, Blakk, Patino, and Dee were all part of the late 1980s lineup for King Diamond. Rue is one of the founders of the Progressive Metal band Pagan's Mind, which he started in 2000.
This is "Dreams of Darkness" by Lex Legion from their self-titled, debut album, which was released on 12 June of this year.
A 77-year-old Baker County woman shot and killed a man who attacked her early Monday morning in the parking lot of Macclenny Veterinary Hospital, according to the Baker County Sheriff’s Office.
This took place at 4:30 a.m., so I assume that she worked at the veterinary hospital, though they say almost nothing about her because she was the victim of a crime.
Without the means to defend themselves, the old and the infirm would be at the mercy of the young and the violent, the small could be preyed on by the large, and anyone could be overwhelmed by a number of attackers. I would really like someone from the gun-hating part of the Left to explain to me, how the world would be better, if that 77-year-old woman was disarmed. I'm not expecting an explanation. Or if an explanation is offered, I don't expect it to make sense.
A 77-year-old woman should not have to depend on winning a physical fight to survive a violent encounter. Carrying a firearm gives someone who may be smaller, older, or less physically capable a means of resisting an attacker who would otherwise hold the advantage.
That is a central purpose of the right to keep and bear arms. Constitutional protection does not expire with age, and it does not belong exclusively to people strong enough to defend themselves with their hands.

Greta Gerwig is the director behind the recent Barbie movie, in case you forgot.
She has at least destroyed (is destroying?) the Netflix adaptation of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew. This is a prequel, that was written by C.S. Lewis, to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
There are apparently numerous problems with the movie, from the pace of storytelling, to the use of Classic Rock, like Led Zeppelin, in the soundtrack. This is probably the deal breaker for me:
Meanwhile, the casting of Meryl Streep as the voice of Aslan has generated criticism among fans who consider the character's masculine identity and Christian symbolism fundamental to Lewis's original conception.
I will never understand why a Hollywood studio would pay millions of dollars for an established IP, with an established fan base, and then change it in ways - not just adapt it for the screen, big or small - that disrespect the material to which you just purchased the rights, and in doing so alienate the people who made that IP valuable in the first place, the existing fan base.
If you want to do a fantasy with a gender-bent talking lion, make something new; don't piss all over something beloved for generations.

The DOJ also sent a letter to Philadelphia, and acutally sued San Jose, California, over similar issues.
As Pat in the embedded video below mentions, parking new cars close together should not be a big deal; they are new cars. When a fire does break out (problems or arson) that fire can spread quickly, especially if an EV battery goes into thermal runaway.
A Saturday evening fire at a local dealership near North Elm Place and Highway 51 spread to 14 electric vehicles, according to the Broken Arrow Fire Department.
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, is a suburb of Tulsa, being about 10 or 15 miles southeast of downtown Tulsa.
Pat in the video takes the time to emphasize how toxic the smoke from an EV fire is. People have serious, permanent lung damage from breathing that smoke, and it can kill. Stay out of the smoke.
People don't realize how critical this really is. I did a story on the Sacramento firefighters who have permanent injuries because of being exposed to this smoke. It's a whitish gray vapor cloud. It contains fine metal particulate, aluminum, cobalt, manganese, copper. It's acidic, high levels of carbon monoxide. It's just a lot of stuff that you don't want to be breathing in.
The held him in Genesee County Jail, which is in Flint, Michigan, for three months on a Federal Hold. The only problem is that there was no such hold.
According to court documents, George E. Boyd was arrested on state charges in April 2022 and released on a $40,000 bond. But when a bail bondsman tried to post his bond on April 9, 2022, a jail deputy told the bondsman that Boyd had a federal hold and asked if he wanted to proceed, according to court documents. The bondsman retrieved the paperwork and Boyd remained in jail.
Documents add that there was no federal hold ever placed on Boyd. A U.S. Marshal Service representative later confirmed Boyd was not a federal prisoner and the agency had no hold on him.
Qualified Immunity is a legal construct invented by the courts that grants government officials immunity from prosecution or lawsuits for stuff they do on the job, unless the prosecutor or plaintiff shows that the official violated civil or constitutional rights, or went outside the bounds of their responsibilities. So when the SWAT team tears up your house looking for someone not there, you cannot sue.
So was this incompetence or malice? Could be both I guess. I honestly don't know, so I've labeled it as cops behaving both badly (malice) and stupidly (incompetence).
The jailers claimed Qualified Immunity. "You can't sue me; I was only doing my job." The court threw that out. So he can now sue them. Whether he wins is another question.

Police said the shooter was a woman who was detained on scene, however, she was later released following consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor's Office because the man allegedly hit her with a car before she shot him.
The guy who got shot was arrested and is charged with aggravated assault and domestic battery, though the DA may amend those charges later.
I'm shocked that there is a woman who didn't think she would be held accountable for her actions. Well, and crazy people are dangerous.
She hit her ex-boyfriend in the side of the head with her purse. While some purses are lethal weapons, this one didn't rise to that level. The nurses in a pediatrician's office called 911, because that is where the incident was witnessed.
As they note in the video, in a domestic violence case, most people assume the guy is the one doing the abusing. I'm not sure that it was ever only the men, but in 2026, it certainly is more evenly divided between the sexes.
Cops determined that based on witness testimony there was enough evidence to take her in and charge her. Cops don't determine if you're guilty or not; that is for the courts to decide. If she had gone like an intelligent, adult person, she might have spent a few nights in jail.
Instead she decided to throw a tantrum like a two-year-old, spoiled brat. (I leave it to you decide if she is actually a spoiled brat.) Details are in the video. The ex-boyfriend mentioned "psych meds," though I don't know of any official statement on that.
As a result of all of that, she was charged with 10 felony counts of assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a police officer, and 1 count of domestic violence.
90% of the charges resulted from her actions after the arrest.
She ended up taking a plea deal that ended with her spending 60 days in jail. The plea included 3 of the felony charges, and the domestic violence, so the consequences are long term.
Watch the part of the video where the cops have to restrain her, after multiple warnings, and ask yourself if she has ever been held accountable for any of her actions, or if she ever thought that she would be held accountable.
I haven't had enough Frank Zappa in my life, and I'm guessing you haven't either. So lets fix that.
This song is "Uncle Remus (Mix Outtake)" by Frank Zappa. A shorter version was originally on the 1974 album Apostrophe ('). Today's version is a different take from the 2016 compilation album The Crux of the Biscuit.
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do)
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It ain't bad in the day
If they squirt it your way
'Cept in the winter, when it's froze
An' it's hard if it hits
On yer nose
Yes, the lyrics are a bit odd. This is Frank Zappa, but this song is less odd than just about anything else on Apostrophe ('). This version of the song is 4 minutes.

As for the way the protester is being assaulted, they should be celebrated that she is being treated the same way any male would have been treated. And they followed the guidance of Antifa rules and shut her down because that is the way things are supposed to be done, right?
Our side is finally understanding that being polite is a losing proposition
I had thought that DoorDash would fire this guy, but their policy on being armed recognizes that it is a dangerous job.
A man shot three times outside a busy Washington Road shopping center Thursday is expected to face a charge once he is released from the hospital, while investigators say the DoorDash driver who shot him acted in self-defense.
Columbia County, Georgia, is in the area of Augusta. The county line is about 3 miles northwest of downtown Augusta.
[The guy who got shot] remains in the ICU after suffering three gunshot wounds – one to his left arm, one to his lower abdomen and another to his upper abdomen.
He is expected to survive to face charges, barring any complications like infections.
While DoorDash’s policy does not explicitly prohibit all drivers from carrying a firearm, it emphasizes responsible firearm handling and compliance with all applicable laws. DoorDash explicitly states that drivers must adhere to all federal, state, and local laws regarding firearm ownership, possession, and use.
Specifically, drivers are responsible for knowing and following all laws in the areas they are operating.
This policy is better than what Uber or Lyft requires.
Whatever DoorDash, Uber, or Lyft decide, self-defense is a human right. Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0. (Hat tip to USA Carry)
