  Gonna leave the Israel situation to the serious folks, only noting in passing that given the Muslim tendency to stage attacks on significant anniversaries, perhaps the Israelis should have been on higher alert on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur attacks? Also worth noting that this probably will kill the proposed Saudi Arabia-US-Israel […]

The irony. Or the hypocrisy, your choice.

Joe Biden said Tuesday that “border walls don’t work”…and at the same time his administration is waiving 26 laws – count ’em, 26 – to build – guess what? Right in one…a border wall. According to a notice posted to the Federal Register Wednesday, construction of the wall will be paid for using already appropriated […]

Have to tip my hat to Gavin Newsom – he’s in a dead heat with Joe Biden for giving us more material to work with than anyone else. Domestically, the NORK’s Fatty da Kim walks away with the international honors, I think. But in his newest – he signed off on legislation which will mandate […]

  Our gentler, more aware and inclusive military… we all know it and love its gentle ways, especially the one GEN Milley denies existing – it’s “wokeness”.

Senate Democrats blink

Senator Coach Tuberville (R-AL) has famously been holding up senior DoD appointment confirmations over the DoD’s support of using taxpayer funds for abortions. He’s been clear that he’s not holding up confirmation votes, but he is holding up blanket rubber stamping of confirmations by quick, procedural voice cote. If Democrats want to proceed on confirmations, […]

Marine aviator updates – F-35, Ospreys

  Did see an interesting factoid about the Marine F-35 which went down over South Carolina. Everyone has been wondering why the pilot punched out of an airplane which went on to fly 60 miles further before it crashed, especially with a known airfield only a mile away. The Marine Corps’ variant of the F-35 […]

Outbreak – of common sense, disingenuous mussels

California is in the spotlight first. Given the headline…who’da thunk it. UC California – Berkeley (why does this sound so familiar…ah, yes, we have a special commenter who went there) conducted a study to find out what the average California voter thinks of paying out cash reparations to ‘victims of systemic prejudice’. The UC Berkeley […]

Inside story of the Navy Littoral Combat Ship

I will freely admit, after years of denigrating what I thought of as a bloated ineffective program, that the parent article took me by surprise. Bluntly, I thought the LCS was a POS. Turns out I was wrong… it’s far worse.  I only have space for a few quotes from a lengthy article, so I […]
