“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
Confused? You Should Be.
Doubling down on re-naming US. Army posts BACK to the names we are familiar with, SecDef Hegseth has re-named Ft. Moore to Ft. Benning. “The Army awarded CPL Benning the Distinguished Service Cross for his extraordinary heroism in action south of Exermont, France, on October 9, 1918,” read a memo signed by Hegseth directing the […]
Dems oppose Fentanyl restrictions
Loopholes in US law which enable fentanyl smuggling should be closed, right? With 74,000 people killed by fentanyl last year, seems like a no-brainer. Unless you have a D after your name, apparently. Democrats in Congress are facing backlash for their opposition to bipartisan legislation aimed at closing loopholes in U.S. drug laws taken advantage […]
Political Friday
Opening with some good news – our favorite Chicago-area mayor, Tiffany Henyard, is gonna be gone. The incumbent and embattled Henyard lost Tuesday’s Democratic primary to Trustee Jason House by a landslide, with House winning nearly 90% of the vote.

Armored Teslas to State
The press is blowing up over a $400,000,000 contract to provide armored Teslas. Should be an easy win – didn’t Elon swear that the truck’s windows were bullet-proof? Elon Musk was blasted Wednesday following revelations that the Trump administration plans to spend $400 million on “armored” Teslas in what’s reportedly the State Department’s biggest […]
Wednesday redux… USAID report
Here’s a radical thought – entitle a column Wednesday and actually publish it Wednesday. The really sad part – when we write a column, we fill in what date and time for it to publish (see below), and as you can see in the above: I keep a calendar a whole 3″ from the keyboard […]
Wednesday legalities
Let’s open on a positive note. We should remember the recent Zachary Young trial – CNN lost five million buckadingdongs for slandering Mr. Young with a story about Afghan refugees – Young was portrayed as money-grubbing etc. jerk and CNN got busted for painting a false image of him. Well, maybe his lawyers should have […]
