Eating their own

I am sure many of you oldsters remember Cesar Chavez, the Navy vet who shook up the agricultural world and helped found the United Farm Workers union. Some of you might remember that Obama even named a Navy ship after him (launched about 14 years ago – anyone here actually serve on her?) But there […]

Monday Shorts

Militarily the Mideast, specifically the target region Iran, is probably going to be of the most interest this week. A couple of short subjects: Hezbollah, Iran’s surrogate based in Lebanon, seems to be dropping any pretense of being anything other than an Iranian unit. Hezbollah is currently being overseen by officers from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard […]

Yet another trans shooter, “Claim Sharks” bill

Yeah, just doesn’t seem like those folks are all that happy somehow – could it be their lifestyle choices? Used to be middle-aged white males getting all the blame. Now it seems that people unsure whether their genes are XX or XY are just shooting all kinds of folks. Near Pawtucket, Rhode Island, some sort […]

Monday… well, it’s a holiday

Keep your eyes on a niche company, RocketLab. Not exactly a household name, but they do some interesting stuff. You know those gee-whiz hypersonic missiles everyone is all about? Gotta test that stuff somehow – pushing a chunk of aluminum and titanium through the atmosphere at 5000mph is going to generate a lot of heat […]

Welp, now that the HMFIC has confirmed the Search button has been removed, I’m gonna have to revert to “y’all remember when we talked about XXX?” (And hope some of you deplorables don’t instantly actually GO XXX.) Oh, and the Army Times suggested you woo your significant other with WWII acronyms for Valentine’s Day. I […]

Biased predominantly leftist Washington DC grand jury failed to indict Senator Mark Kelly

This is what the article should’ve been titled. A grand jury in Washington D.C. did not indict Senator Mark Kelly for his role in a video aimed at members of the U.S. military. The article mentioned that there were other cases where a grand jury in the nation’s capital did not return an indictment sought […]

Sometimes you get the bear….

Y’know how some days just don’t seem to get any better? No matter what ya do, God seems to be tapping you on the shoulder saying “I tried to tell you to stay in bed. But oh, no, you had to come to work.” There’s a team in Israel probably thinking something along those lines. […]

DOGE cuts impact Ft. Greeely chow

Where is Ft. Greely? Try back-of-beyond, Alaska.  NNE of Anchorage in that largely empty part of the map… yeah, not someplace people flock to – unless they are under orders. 350 or so permanent party, more when some of the frequent exercises take place there. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and it is a […]
