Marine veteran gets 5 years in prison for injuring Capitol police officer
John George Todd III, Marine veteran, was at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. During the riot, he struggled with a police officer. He pushed against officers inside the Rotunda, ignored police orders, and screamed profanities at them. A police officer attempted to take his flag away from him by reaching for the pole. […]
Joe and Hunter’s protests wear thin
Next up in the ever-fascinating (in the morbid sense of “what will these folks be stupid enough to do NEXT?” sense) saga of Joe and Hunter-boi, Business Insider reports on the identities of some of the recipients of Hunter’s “artwork”. On the campaign trail, President Joe Biden pledged that there would be an “absolute wall” […]

DIRCIA nomination blocked by senator

Trump military/MOH news
A group of four-stars sent an op-ed letter to the New York Times Friday excoriating Trump for ‘dereliction of duty’ on January 6. Brief checking shows that some of the same names have showed up in the past, such as on the letter in which 200+ senior officers endorsed Biden over Trump in the 2020 […]
What The Actual – Wait!! Is That Pancakes I Hear?
Anyone besides me remember those days in grade school when you were kids, and the teacher said something like “we’re having our atomic bomb drill today”, so you were supposed to hide under your desk, get next to the nearest windows and squat down on the floor, or all go down to the school’s basement […]
Capitol Cop on January 6
LC and I went a couple rounds last night over this one. Neither changed the other’s mind, but that’s not the point. We remained cordial, and expressed our views without rancor. You know, like adults. I originally was not going to post this, but a couple things changed my mind. LC’s views are just as […]
