Bellavia & WLF under assault by opponent
I got a call from our buddy, David Bellavia, this morning who told me about the problems he’s having in his campaign for New York’s 27th Congressional District. The bad stuff we talked about is better explained at Blackfive. Bellavia’s Republican opponent is trying to drag the Warrior Legacy Foundation into the campaign accusing them […]
David “Hollywood” Bellavia
I’m sure you’ve read the book House to House written by our buddy David Bellavia, who is also running for Congress in Upstate New York. Well, according to Buffalo News, he’s also going Hollywood on us, too. The Republican congressional candidate from Batavia has just signed a film deal with an Oscar-winning director to tell […]
VOTE E-9
I know, I know, there are those among you veterans who can’t find it in your hearts to feel any love for senior NCO’s, especially first sergeants and sergeant majors.

Is this really stolen valor?
I wrote about David Oh and Mike McCalister a few weeks ago. They’re both Republicans and they both made comments that were a little “iffy” about their military careers. They had both served with Special Forces units, but they weren’t school trained special forces officers. David Oh was an 11-series infantry officer serving in an […]
West vs. Wassermann
I know you’ve all read about the email that Allen West sent to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz after Wasserman or Schultz or whatever personally attacked West on the floor of the House of Representatives and mischaracterized his stance on his elderly constituents. In response, West sent this email (from The Hill); “Let me make myself perfectly clear, […]
