“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
More on ‘the balloon’
Well, the country is atwitter over the Chinese “weather” balloon floating over the heartland of the United States. Leaving behind whether it should have been shot down as soon as it crossed the coast – why not? Worrying about a potential crash debris problem must have been an excuse invented by PINO Joe, no […]
A Modest Proposal II
One of the unicorns of the gun-grabbing left is “universal background checks” – they want every gun transaction to have to be pre-approved by the government. They couch their version as a “gun safety” proposal to limit bad folks from getting guns. Sort of like how the Brady bill was supposed to do it, and […]
New Army personnel system working as expected
Let’s be clear about this…”working as expected” if you’ve spent maybe 50 years watching how ‘well’ Army personnel systems work.

Been a good day for political stupid. In the first item, Mr. Gun Expert Joe Biden weighed in on police shootings, questioning why they don’t just shoot for the leg or some such. “Instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg,” […]
Remember the Strategic Petroleum Reserve?
Once upon a time, long, long ago in a country almost forgotten, wise leaders in that oil-using place decided that having some emergency supplies of usable oil was a good idea. Gee, what a good idea! Then, the new leader of that then-oil-independent country decided to turn them oil-import-dependent, so he killed permitting for a […]
Get woke, fly safer, right?
Hopefully none of our DWs and DWettes were flying Wednesday when virtually all continental air traffic was shut down or the first time since 9/11 by “serious FAA system failures”. In December 2021, the FAA, under Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, changed the “Notice to Airman” (NOTAM) to “Notice to Air Missions” — preserving the same […]
