Divine Wind on this day…
Kamikaze, or officially Shinpu Tokubetsu Kogekitai, “Divine Wind Special Attack Unit” was named after the typhoon that destroyed a Mongol fleet in the thirteenth century, saving Japan from invasion. The Special Attack Forces were suicide units formed in the last year of World War II as a last-ditch effort to defend Japan. These units used […]
Cheaters 3-fer
. Starting Thursday off right, some clowns in a fishing tournament in New York were busted when the weighing official was surprised to find their catch weighing about double what he anticipated. Chase Cominsky and Jake Runyan were caught stuffing their fish at the Lake Erie Walleye Trail in Ohio on Friday with lead weights, […]
DeSantis getting sued by group financed by…yep, you guessed it
Alianza Americas says they are a “network of migrant-led organizations supporting immigrants across the United States.” They filed suit against Gov.

Permanent time change hits “brick wall” in the House
Okay, I’ll admit it: I NEVER thought I would thank the House for saving us from the Senate’s stupidity.

The vote was very iffy: the bill was introduced, unanimous consent was moved (and not one Senator […]
Soros puts down $1,000,000 payment on Beto
Well, they say an honest politician is one who stays bought. In that sense, and, probably ONLY that sense, billionaire George Soros is likely to be well-pleased with his purchase of Beta Beto O’Rourke. To be fair, he is neither the only buyer nor the only big-payment buyer – a couple formerly from California who […]
A military staple is coming to an end
Back in the ancient days, when dinosaurs stalked the Earth, daily orders were posted on stone tablets, and the Russians acted like they wanted to conquer Europe (waitaholdit…) probably one of the most common sights around any military installation was the hordes of junior enlisted folks toting SLRs. No, not the legendary Self-Loading Rifle […]
1969 Moon landing anniversary
July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man from Earth to walk on the moon. This is one of those of-course-I-remember dates to people of a certain age. Ask an old fart where they were November 22 1963, or when we landed on the moon, it’s like “where were you on 9/11?” Some […]
