Clinton’s campaign arranges ‘Veterans Against Trump’
According to the Daily Beast there was a protest outside Trump Tower yesterday. I watched some of it on a live feed, but it triggered my bad memories of the old IVAW days so I had to turn it off. Anyway, the protesters were angry because Trump hadn’t really raised $6 million for veterans, according […]
Mike Webb for Congress
There’s this guy in Virginia’s 8th Congressional District who is running for that seat by the name of Michael Webb. He was running as a Republican, but he was defeated in the primary, so he’s running as an Independent now. He came to our attention a few months ago because he was touting his career […]

Walsh and his political future
The other day, Hondo posted some links to news sources in Montana in regards to John Welsh, the Senate appointee seeking to be elected to that office in November. TSO sends us a link from Politico which reports that Welsh is contemplating stepping away from the ballot. Fueling speculation that he might quit the race, […]
So, What Are They Saying in Montana?
Wonder what they’re saying in Montana about Senator Walsh and his “unintentional mistake” of copying virtually verbatim around 25% of his War College final paper – including his conclusions – from other sources?
