Wednesday shorts – Michigan, Marine thief, Lucky Marine
Seems Michigan is offering $500 monthly subsidies to migrant renters’ landlords. Michigan GOP lawmakers are raising the alarm over certain provisions in the state’s “newcomer rental subsidy” program that gives up to $500 to landlords who rent to migrants. To be eligible, migrants must be refugees, asylees, special immigration visa holders, victims of human […]
Marines at Trump resort did not violate military rules
Photos of Marines at Mar-a-Lago circulated on the internet. Concerns were raised that these Marines were at a political event, a violation of Military regulations against politicking in uniform. However, the Marines clarified that the presence of service members at this estate was for an approved event supporting a fundraiser that was open to the […]
General Al Gray Passes Away
The 29th Commandant of the Marine Corps – Al Gray – passed away this morning at 0057. Many people have fond memories of General Gray. He was an advocate for “every Marine a rifleman.” He remains the only Commandant that took his official photo in his cammies. Al Gray, beloved former Marine Corps commandant, dies […]

Congrats to the Corps!
From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli We will fight our country’s auditors And will emerge victory Or something like that. Yes, boys and girls, an armed service has finally passed an audit! Plaudits to all of our crayon eaters, the Brotherhood of Leather Neck Guards, the few, the proud, the Marines […]
Valor Friday
I already had this week’s post locked and loaded when the death of Chuck Mawhinney was publicized last night. Instead, let’s take a brief look at him. He died just a few months after the Marine Corps shuttered the Scout Sniper School. I can’t help but feel that’s symbolic. From Military.com; It wasn’t until 1991 […]
