DOJ Red Letter Decision
Don’t know if anyone has tried to ship a gun anywhere before – like flying with a gun, it has turned into a Byzantine process of selecting the correct shipper, how fast to ship, and trying not to get sideways with Federal and state laws. Sometimes you pay more for the shipping company’s failures. If […]
Pardon puffery
I read on MS-NOW (formerly MSNBC – wonder how many million $ that one letter change cost? Right now the current high is DoD to DoW at an estimate $125,000,000. In fairness, though, Defense is six letters and War is three, so it is a 9 letter change. But by the same standard, it’s now […]
A New Name You Should know
Well, I got sandbagged twice while waiting for the wife to get home from church. I like to think I am fairly savvy on Holocaust stuff, and I despise Fakebook, yet I read a post there that made me go “whoa” and start looking to see if there was any historical truth – and there […]

Veteran prosecutor Joseph Thompson, who was previously appointed by Donald Trump to […]

The massive remotely piloted jet carries up to 100 drones, which it can launch while airborne to reach faraway targets. Able to […]
Operation Cowboy
Military.com did a pretty interesting article on the real story of Operation Cowboy. Doesn’t sound familiar? To many of a certain age, “The Miracle of the White Stallions” was an entertaining Disney movie – like anything they did then, a but sanitized, but for Disney, not far from the real story. Let’s open with […]
The Christmas Truce
We’ve all heard of it, the Christmas miracle in 1914. On a cold clear Christmas Eve, German and British troops laid down their arms, sang “Silent Night” and “Kumbaya” together (I know, I know… just setting the mood) and peace reigned across the battle fields. Well, sort of. I had planned a somewhat saccharin retelling […]
Search for missing Air Force plane to reopen after 75 years
January 16, 1950. Almost 76 years ago. A Douglas C-54 Skymaster departed Elmendorf AFB with 44 people aboard. 42 service members, and a pregnant dependent, Joyce Espes, and her infant son, catching a hop to go get medical treatment. The plane never arrived, and was never found. A new search is going to start – […]
