“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
Swalwell in the news
Let’s turn to Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-CA (where else?) today. I’m sure we all know Swallowswell from past gaffes – from threatening the use of nuclear weapons against US citizens: Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who is running for president, criticized people making threats against him over his stance on gun control — despite Swalwell’s previous […]
Monday Minutiae
Only a few little ones today. First up, the holiday Boxes to Boots orders. Seems the problem is that as of September, USPS is requiring harmonizing numbers on the customs declarations labels. Generic phrases like “Deodorant” won’t cut it any more. The trigger appears to be a September 1, 2025 rule change requiring all international […]
More Democrats
Seems like such a short time since: Crockett recently raised eyebrows over her Federal Election Commission filings that showed she spent nearly $75,000 of donor money on luxury hotels, transportation and security this year in cities across the U.S. Crockett’s filings show luxury hotel and transportation expenses in Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, New York City, Las […]
What’s in a name? $$
Plenty. Especially if the name is “Department of War”. Depending on whose expert you choose to believe, the cost to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War varies only by how ridiculous a claim they make.

Hypocrisy? Or idiocy? So hard to tell…
Got a few headshakers today. Kind of a Chesty Puller day, so many targets we’re surrounded. Got ’em right where we want ’em. Let’s open up with one of our favorites, Jasmine Crockett. Ms. Crockett likes to talk of her ‘street’ cred, which given her high-dollar upbringing in posh St. Louis schools is a bit […]
Acquisition news
Some stories on military acquisitions struck me. Not surprisingly, at the top of the heap are drones – lots and lots of drones. The Pentagon has created a new program to spend $1 billion over the next two years to buy hundreds of thousands of one-way attack drones for the military. Dubbed the Drone […]
Tuesday Follow-ups
Zachary Young, the Navy vet who took CNN to the woodpile over their reporting of his actions during the botched Afghan withdrawal, is back in the news. He sued, but had his suit dismissed, against AP for saying he “smuggled” people out of Afghanistan, as “smuggling people” is a highly pejorative term nowadays. That […]
