“Your Tax Dollars At Work”
Thursday shorts
Trump to do list item number 3 – replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Biden looted it in a bid to minimally lower gas prices and has yet to replenish it because the replacement didn’t meet test standards (which the original wasn’t tested for) and generated insufficient profit. They could buy it cheaper than it cost […]
Friday quickies
Well, we have seen repeatedly that crime doesn’t pay . There are penalties! Like how Jussie Smollett walks on a DA’s blunder, or the Navy guy who has to serve 19 months instead of 125 years, Alec Baldwin’s case – okay, maybe crime only goes with punishment in book titles. Remember in May, the two […]
Saturday Shorts – Iran, Zephyr, Gaetz, DEA
A few quickies for the day: Seems Iran is hiding chunks of its missile programs as civilian companies to evade sanctions.

The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, was fired by FEMA after outrage […]
Tuesday shorts
OK, folks. Holiday’s over, those of you who glom onto freebies should be well stuffed – back to the grind. In a big, and welcome, win, Judge Stephen McGlynn, a Federal District Court a lower court and declared the Illinois “assault weapons” ban unconstitutional. He banned enforcement of the law as well, but allowed 30 […]

New toys
MBDA, the European defense contractor (part of their MIC, in other words) just announced a new variant on the venerable Exocet anti-ship missile. Sounds like a winner on paper. “It features a doubled range in the class of 120km with a new turbojet engine, to regain the stand-off distance in anti-submarine warfare,” Pierre-Marie Bealleau, head […]
