From The Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Files

the era of Über political correctness has struck the a brigade in Army’s 4th Infantry division.  Before I get to commenting too much about the major douchegasm that a full bird Colonel just had, I’ll let you read what he wrote.     Done reading?  Are the NCOs in the audience turning red?  that’s right […]

Not a good week to be the President

Well it isn’t even Wednesday yet and already President Obama is having some serious migraines.  First there were the Benghazi whistle blowers (and apparently there are even more waiting in the wings) whose testimony is both scathing and damning.  Then there was the IRS scandal, in which the IRS targeted both conservative (specifically but not […]

A message from one of our Gold Star Moms

I apologize to everyone, I’d fully intended to post this article yesterday by one of our resident Gold Star Mothers, Denise Williams who publishes at the Plainfield Patch.

“The Food is Safe, Your Excellency”

Apparently the POTUS recently attended lunch with Senate Republicans.  However, he passed on eating lunch himself. The reason?  According to Senator Susan Collins of Maine, the President couldn’t eat because his “taster” was not there. I’m not joking. “He looked longingly at it,” Collins continued. “He honestly did look longingly at it, but apparently he […]

Reality Check?

The elephant in the room is making enough noise to be heard, but nobody seems to be listening. As Jonn noted here one Senator is convinced that PTS(D) should preclude many vets from owning guns, but we may have a sitting senator who, in every way, could be pictured along side the very definition of […]
