Four US Troops lost
Four US troops went missing during training at the General Silvestras Žukauskas Training Area near Pabrade, north of the capital Vilnius, Lithuania. The soldiers, all from 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry division, were sent to recover another Army vehicle early Tuesday.

DEI purge and AI

Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and […]
Thursday notes- pollution, Teslas, and oopsie

Weekend updates – Texas

Leavenworth, stopping at the Negro Leagues Museum and American Jazz museum and hitting the Harry Truman Library in Independence, MO. This may take a little longer…it’s Texas, y’all. Things are further apart. Here’s a few ideas: It’s official – […]
