“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
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 […]
Saturday New Tech

We mentioned the dual-band radar on the Gerald Ford yesterday – today we turn our attention to non-floaty toys. First up – the Marines are looking for a few good choppers hybrid planes Osprey replacements. A newly released U.S. Marine Aviation Plan shows the service is now looking at a successor to its MV-22 Osprey […]
Tanker Love Friday

It would be nice if it was a bellwether for similar cases, but the ruling is pretty narrow. Lara was pulled over for driving under the limit (!) and following a semi too […]
Tuesday follies

Let’s have a cheerful start to a new administration…and like all good vets, we start with a little schadenfreude. (Taking joy in the misfortunes of someone else, roughly.) You think WE have supply problems? Consider Poland’s former logistics Maj. Gen. Artur K?pczy?ski, who was fired January 9th. Seems he not only misplaced supplies, he lied […]
Bin Biden’s bin busy

You should be reading this right before the end of Joe Biden’s term – I know there are those on the left desperately praying for some wild-ass last minute maneuver to have the election nullified, Trump not elected, and all the progressive policies set in stone – sorry, folks, from here it looks like the […]
Saturday Smoke

Or not, if Biden has his way. The Biden administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took a significant new step on Wednesday that would effectively ban cigarettes currently on the market in favor of those with lower levels of nicotine. Kiss those traditional Marlboros and Winstons good bye… the he-man’s cigarette of choice is gonna […]
