Army Recruiting – again

Seems like just last month Christine Wormouth, the Secretary of the Army, said the Army might be a few thousand short of its new recruiting goals.

More Californee

Have to tip my hat to Gavin Newsom – he’s in a dead heat with Joe Biden for giving us more material to work with than anyone else. Domestically, the NORK’s Fatty da Kim walks away with the international honors, I think. But in his newest – he signed off on legislation which will mandate […]

Well, dropping yet another shoe the Biden administration […]

Notting Hill shows UK intent

There is an annual Caribbean street festival in the Notting Hill area of London (yes, the same “Notting Hill” as the Julia Roberts/Hugh Grant/Rhys Ifans  romcom) which just concluded – with everyone reportedly having a great time. 8 stabbings were reported, 275 arrests,  75 police officers were attacked, six bitten, one sexually attacked, and there […]

US Gov finding new ways to f-ck veterans
