Armored Teslas to State
The press is blowing up over a $400,000,000 contract to provide armored Teslas. Should be an easy win – didn’t Elon swear that the truck’s windows were bullet-proof? Elon Musk was blasted Wednesday following revelations that the Trump administration plans to spend $400 million on “armored” Teslas in what’s reportedly the State Department’s biggest […]
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 […]

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 […]
