Are FBI stats misleading?

The Biden folks are touting huge decreases in crime since Joe took office, saying crime rates have dropped dramatically and of course Joe and his confused lot are responsible. An independent group of law enforcement officials and analysts claim violent crime rates are much higher than figures reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in […]

Ain’t buyin’ that evil oil

Well, it’s eclipse day. As this is written, I am squarely in the zone of the total eclipse…with overcast skies forecast. By Monday? Who knows. Top of the stack: We have written multiple times previously of the administration’s gutting withdrawals from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Thursday thoughts – Biden, RNC, SF Patch, Abortion travel

USS Boxer still working up to deploy three years on

  The Boxer is an amphibious assault craft, which essentially makes it a “small” aircraft carrier (843 feet long!) which not only can carry the usual Harriers, F-35s, and choppers, but good-sized  air-cushion landing craft to rapidly deploy Marines as well. These are the odd-looking Wasp-class ships with the lower landing wells, effectively giving them […]

Tuesday short takes

I’ll let others debate Trump’s desire for blanket Presidential immunity – have to ask, though, if the President is shielded from culpability, why does the Constitution include impeachment?
