A few more Biden actions

It’s been a busy week for Biden-admin-watchers… here are a few of the more egregious items: First up, a Federal Judge in Texas rejected Governor Abbott’s claim that the infamous orange river balls are needed to stop an “invasion”, essentially saying that describing the immigration influx as an invasion is “politics”. “This is a United […]

Polling places looking for a few good men

Military Times writes about the push to fill the ranks of poll workers this voting season with veterans. I guess with the hyperpolarization of our times, it seems the usual suspects of poll volunteers (elderly pensioners looking to do something other than play bridge) have resigned en masse. Those volunteers need to be replaced, said […]

Beating the lying (dead) horse

Remember when Harry Truman famously said about Richard Nixon that he lied so much, if he caught himself telling the truth he’s have to tell a lie real fast just to get back in step? We have a few folks today in the same club. First up, Kamala Harris.  I know, what a shock. “I […]

Tuesday threefer: More Boxer, Military.com recipes, Russian weaseling

Remember a few weeks back, on August 5, when I mentioned that after $200,000,000 in refitting, the USS Boxer was still unable to sail? Well, they tried again (less than 2 weeks later,  those clever Navy devils) on the 17th: The Navy denied any issue with the amphibious assault ship, but video posted online by […]

“Oh, My Stars, My Linda’s Gone to Mars” – David Grusch again

We talked ad nauseum about that ‘whistleblower’ who accused the US government of hiding concrete evidence of UFOs and alien artifacts recently.  Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency David Grusch testified as such to the House Oversight Committee. “It has come to my attention that The Intercept intends to publish […]

PACT deadline extended after bottleneck mess

So many vets waited until the last minute to file for retroactive benefits under the PACT Act that they essentially crashed the site (VA.Gov/PACT Act website). This  caused about 18% to receive error messages, wait times on the phone  to rise from about 30 seconds to 10-15 minutes, and the deadline to apply be extended […]

Ft. Cavazos (Hood) mess hall woes

Military.com reports that soldiers on Ft. Hood Cavazos are having a tough time getting fed. Yeah, fed. The situation at Fort Cavazos, Texas — previously known as Fort Hood — has left some junior enlisted with few options for meals, as top officials on base struggle to juggle logistics while most of its cooks are […]
