On the day of the Baltimore bridge collision and collapse, I posted about the similarities with my novel ENEMY AT THE HELM. I asked if they were treating it as a crime scene. They weren't then--they are now. What changed?

Choke Point Much? Different mechanism, but same idea as in the best seller ENEMY AT THE HELM! The FBI says there is no indication of terrorism “at this time”. There never is--until there is. Are they treating it as a crime scene? The involved agencies should be investigating in excruciating detail the background of the crew and operator of the vessel. What are the FBI and Coast Guard changing as a result of this? Supply chains will be affected--for how long? #BaltimoreBridge #enemyatthehelm #conspiracythriller #terrorismthriller #supplychainchallenges #danbongino

The older and slower and fatter you get, the more you become a target for the bad guys. It's been a fact of life as long as there has been life on earth. Most interpersonal attacks are ambush-style, close-in attacks. I don't want to be a victim, so one way I train is in empty-hands combatives, including sparring with younger, faster, stronger, more experienced guys. There is nothing like a regular, proper ass-kicking to keep you humble! Here we are all carrying our firearms (cleared and safe), while simulating a street fight. Then the lights go out. Now we are fighting by feel more than with our eyes. Weapon retention is paramount. So is keeping the other guy from using his on you. Lots to think about--it's best to think about it, and train, before you need the skills in a fight. I include some of these concepts and scenarios in my bestseller ENEMY AT THE HELM, available in most online retailers.

Have you thought about what to do if you're attacked in your vehicle? You may have to fight off carjackers, road rage idiots or maybe even a mob. Just because you can't imagine that happening doesn't mean it won't happen. I did this drill a few years ago and I cringe now at the things I could have done better. But that's why we train, right? Watch to the end for key points.

We take global shipping for granted. But what if it stopped? The Panama Canal has handled a large part of global trade for over a hundred years and was a dream for two hundred years before that. What would it mean if it was closed? Would supply shortages be permanent? Would prices rise further? With less revenue, would the Panamanian government fall? Would the Great Powers once again find another area to fight over? What would that mean for the rest of the world? In the bestselling novel ENEMY AT THE HELM, a shadowy group shuts down global trade using all-too-plausible methods. Come join the ordinary family caught up in the extraordinary events that could happen tomorrow!

Are you ready to throw a knife if necessary in self-defense? Key things to remember--1. Know your range with each weapon 2. Practice, Practice, Practice! 3. Even if you stick your target, it likely won't disable him, it will only buy you time to get you to your next move, either run or attack further 4. Never throw your last knife. 5. Any knife you throw could be used against you, so have another move already planned, such as draw your firearm, use another weapon of opportunity to eliminate the threat, or escape. 6. Think about scenarios you might encounter that would necessitate throwing a knife. For me, it would be an encounter where the attacker is too close for me to draw my firearm, but I can push him away. Hitting him with a thrown knife will interrupt his OODA loop for a few seconds, allowing you that precious time to survive. Make it count.
