Walter Mondale, former Vice President and US Army veteran, dies age 93
We have to be the bearer of the bad news that former Vice President Walter Mondale has passed at age 93. In addition to being the 42nd Vice President under Jimmy Carter, Mondale was Attorney General of the State of Minnesota, Minnesota’s Senator for two terms, and US Ambassador to Japan. Before that lengthy career […]
Of the Tab and the Scroll
As you’ve surmised by the photo, the title of the post is not George R.R. Martin’s latest book. We’ve discussed this topic before, because it appears to come up every election cycle.

Washington Post highlights the real heroes of 6 Jan in DC; Democrat politicians.
The Washington Post takes a fresh look at the issues in DC this week. Democrat veteran politicians apparently took over when the police failed to protect and lead our nation’s leaders.

Alek Skarlatos narrows the gap in his race for the US House in Oregon
Alek Skarlatos, Republican candidate for US House Oregon District 4, will probably look and sound familiar. He was one of the three heroes of the 2015 Thalys train terrorist attack. He later played himself in the Clint Eastwood movie The 15:17 to Paris which recounted the events of that afternoon. He received the Soldier’s Medal […]
More on LTC Jody
The Curious Case of Cal Cunningham continues. First, he didn’t know what “BBQ” meant in his home state of North Carolina. Then his Senate campaign has admitted that the tawdry text messages of a sexual nature sent to a woman married to a US Army officer (and wounded warrior), he’s also been accused of having another woman […]
In other news, water is wet
Milking his 15 minutes of fame for a few more seconds, Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman says he’s “absolutely” become a “never-Trumper” after coming under relentless attack from President Donald Trump, telling NBC News’ Lester Holt that the White House leaked a classified memo about him to congressional Republicans in a bid to smear him.
