“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
Wednesday shorts – Brandon act, A-anniversary, Kim spying, Fusion test
Seems I see lots of partial articles this week – ah well, that’s the way it goes. First up – Air/Space Force folks can now self-submit and get a mental health evaluation within a day, under the provisions of the Brandon Act. “Service members may request a referral for any reason, including, but not limited […]
Tuesday quickies: JR-15, E-car fire, vaccination reinstatement
Illinois legislators want to ban gun advertising for “assault weapons” and to kids, citing as an example the ads for JR-15 youth rifles (it’s a lookalike AR-15 chambered in .22 LR. What we would have formerly called a training rifle.) “Some of the ads I’ve seen are just stomach-turning,” Don Harmon, of Oak Park, who […]
Atlanta, Chicago South?
Seems a slew of articles, all taking place in Atlanta, keep hitting the FGS and the news. Guess it is not surprising – traditionally the actual city of Atlanta seems to be a typical American big city with all the attendant leadership problems. Matter of fact, it’s worth commenting in passing that yet another […]
Government follies – ship refurb, Bergdahl retrial, illicit software purchase.

We Love Admin Fatwas
Well, the Feds are at it again. In 2022, Congress passed, and President Biden signed, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act… The law incentivizes states to pass extreme risk protection laws, also called “red flag” laws, that allow members of the public and law enforcement to petition courts for a civil order to temporarily suspend a […]
Convert to electric they say, it’ll be easy they say….
As you contemplate the ugliness of buying an internal combustion car with its attendant woes of relatively cheap fuel, convenient refilling, easy repair availability, and light weight compared to its competitors – take heart. Those hard to charge cars? Cheap solar roofs? Blips on the radar screen, my son. A recent report from UBS estimates […]
Kerry in the News
Seems erstwhile medal-pitching, former Presidential candidate and Save the Planet czar John Kerry has been sparring with the Congress Thursday in his usual open, aboveboard, transparent manner. “I just don’t agree with your facts, which began with the presentation of one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this private […]
