“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
Saturday Shorts
Apparently some form of sanity is infecting the International Olympic Committee. Its President, two-time swimming gold medalist Kirsty Coventry said: “At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat,” Coventry, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, said in a statement. “So, it is absolutely clear that it […]
As long as we’re there…
Okay, yesterday was about gun stuff. Still a few stories out there to take note of. Anyone remember the National Firearms Act of 1934? That’s the first big Federal gun control bill, which made automatic weapons, silencers, short barreled rifles, etc. unlawful to buy without paying an exorbitant tax ($200 then, worth around $4600 […]
A gun topic or two
The ATF is still trying to say that arm braces on things like rifle caliber pistols makes them short barreled rifles. Guess they can also say why a rifle which reduces muzzle velocity and accuracy makes the rifle more dangerous? Ah, wait, it’s more concealable… which actually accomplishes what?

Money, Honey
I see an old-time government practice is hitting the news. Not that it is unusual, of course, but because this time a Republican did it, and we all know that is just wrong. It does have a somewhat outrageous aspect to it, though. I refer, of course, to “use it or lose it.” Congress mandates […]
ICE Needs Cars. Not really…

We’ve all seen the accusations and insinuations about Corey Lewandowski, whether she and he are doing the horizontal hora – me, I don’t really care, other than as an indicator that if they treat their wedding vows that lightly, what about […]
Friday politics
Starting off, everyone remembers the notorious auto-pen, right? Republicans were outraged that the Biden White House supposedly used the auto-pen to affix Biden’s signature onto anything printed. I didn’t hear an accusation of having forged his Secret Decoder Ring application, but did hear everything but. Federal prosecutors in U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office are dropping […]

Militarily the Mideast, specifically the target region Iran, is probably going to be of the most interest this week. A couple of short subjects: Hezbollah, Iran’s surrogate based in Lebanon, seems to be dropping any pretense of being anything other than an Iranian unit. Hezbollah is currently being overseen by officers from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard […]
Legal Thursday
Seems a teacher in Nebraska is in hot water for student canoodling – with a girl who had already graduated. Nebraska schoolteacher Cody Pester, 26, and an 18-year-old female allegedly entered an intimate relationship two months after she graduated from high school. The met while she was in school, but didn’t start communicating/texting until she […]
