Saturday Security
First up: Mexican President Maduro Obrador has made some unusual demands on us lately. I’m sure you are aware he is suing gun companies (claiming that PLCAA does not cover foreign governments so they can sue us for their gun violence – despite there only being ONE government controlled gun store in the whole country.)

Drone incursions from Mexico into the US reached alarming levels
Cartel groups in Mexico are no strangers to the use of drones, including weaponized drones. Ukraine has shown how a weaker nation, or groups within a weaker nation, could wreak havoc on a more powerful military. Two military generals testified at a Senate hearing related to the border. One of the issues reported to the […]
Senate approves bill that provides military aid to foreign countries, but falls short on US border security

That we have record numbers of aliens crossing, attempting to cross, or waiting to attempt to cross, is […]
The irony. Or the hypocrisy, your choice.
Joe Biden said Tuesday that “border walls don’t work”…and at the same time his administration is waiving 26 laws – count ’em, 26 – to build – guess what? Right in one…a border wall. According to a notice posted to the Federal Register Wednesday, construction of the wall will be paid for using already appropriated […]
Texas falls short
It’s Memorial Day. Like many, I spent it with family – local members being my daughter, her Uncle Sam’s Misguided Child husband, and a couple of my favorite grandchildren. OK, they’re all favorites, but these two are the youngest and localest. After dinner and a swim, on to vege out a bit. Just finished “Mister […]
