IVAW’s Executive Director on burning the flag
The IVAW’s Executive Director, Jose Vasquez, has issued a statement in regards to Matthis Chiroux’s flag burning antics last Saturday in Lafayette Park. Apparently it has become a bone of contention among the remaining members of the organization and once again, Vasquez punts the issue rather than make an actual decision. (I know you can’t […]
I guess we all have PTSD, then
IVAW member, Jeremy Bergren, has a blog post up on the IVAW website in which he defends his bout with PTSD. Like most of the IVAW members, Bergren never deployed. His unit deployed, but he was legally absent – and that, apparently is the source of his PTSD; I will not get too much into […]

Kokesh won’t quit (Updated)
As I predicted, Adam Kokesh, IVAW diva, announced that, although he could only attract 16% of the delegates in new Mexico’s 3rd District GOP pre-primary race, he won’t quit; “Our campaign is energized, and we’re committed to winning the primary election,” Kokesh said in a news release. “We are a grassroots campaign, and over the […]
ANSWER’s March 20th Rally
I know Gathering of Eagles and some other groups are planning counter-actions to the annual ANSWER rally on March 20th in DC. How many of our readers are planning on being there? I’ll be driving down from my mountain retreat early in morning, so if anyone wants to meet up before hand, let me know. […]
