“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
Someone to watch?
I haven’t been following an Air Force reserves vet name of Anna Paulina Luna, but she has been a Congresswoman from Florida (on the R side of the aisle, thank you) who is making some interesting noises lately. Notably about Gannon Ken Van Dyke, the Master Sergeant who made (and presumably now lost) over […]
“Seeking” – at DHS?
Well, yesterday’s column was a little puzzling – how does someone go about getting clemency from the President, then turn around a few years later, get sentenced again for the same kind of crime, and get a full Presidential pardon? Thought that might inspire some salacious comments from some of you (“it ain’t who ya […]
Disenfranchised? You betcha.
Seems Virginia’s governor and legislature are really concerned with voter disenfranchisement. Unfortunately, they want to perpetuate it. Virginia will join an interstate compact aimed at awarding the presidency to the winner of the national popular vote after Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed House Bill 965 into law. HB 965, titled Agreement Among the States to Elect […]
Wednesday Tax Day Potpourri
The Bint Jbail hospital in Gaza is symbolic to Hezbollah – it’s where then-secretary general Hassan Nasrallah described Israel as “weaker than a spider web.” Since September 2024, courtesy of those web-spinners, he has not been around to confirm that. They tagged him in an airstrike on Beirut. Seems Israeli troops in the vicinity of the […]
Never-ending repairs… ended

While COVID no doubt played a role, it seems that simple lack of shipyards and capacity are more to blame. (I suspect changing specs plays a role too, knowing how government works. “What, we are replacing […]
The Right to Repair
Anyone follow the recent John Deere controversy, in which Big Green/Yellow is supposed to allow folks to fix their own equipment? Buy a Deere, have a problem – and find out it is a factory-only repair, regardless of whether you could make said repair blindfolded and suspended upside down. This one seems to be […]
Hardware Monday
The A-10 just keeps getting better than ever. Seems they are testing refueling A-10s with aerial refueling probes (as opposed to the traditional high-altitude booms.) (First off – there are those of you who really know this topic – and I don’t – so if I make a stupid error, call me on it. My […]
Tuesday tidbits
Seems the DOJ just threw ICE under the bus. We’ve all seen the stories in which someone is arrested at the courthouse where they are attending a government mandated appointment with the judge. Instead of taking a step forward in the process, they find themselves on a plane to elsewhere – like an ICE facility […]
