Chuckie Pinocchio

Well, we always knew we could trust Chuck Schumer, right?  Sorta reminds me of a book I once saw when I was younger, an anti-Communism screed named “You Can Trust the Russians” (whose subtitle was something like “to do what they always do whether you like it or not!”  Have never seen another copy since.)

Russia getting froggie outside the war zone?

No doubt you’ve seen the stories that Russia wished Ukraine a Merry Christmas by trying to take down Ukraine’s power grid. Well, the two of them are fighting, so one could say that this is a semi-legitimate target in time of war, right? But there are also indications that Russia is expanding its operations to […]

Navy Vet Earl Holliman, 96, dead

AI General Love Scam

The latest ‘thing’ is to AI-generate a military general (or colonel… ah, what’s the diff?) and troll the internet for ladies (or guys) looking for love in all the wrong places.

Fired FEMA employee says FEMA’s story wrong

Ah, yes, the FEMA supervisor who told employees in Florida to skip Trump-signaged yards.
