Firings

Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement that George “will be retiring from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army effective immediately. The Department of […]
Sneaky b*stards
Didn’t start the week intending to concentrate on dogs, but here we are. Although this also speaks to gun control. The Farm Bill: Big piece of legislation awaiting Congress when they return from their well-deserved taxpayer-funded vacation. (Side note – anyone see where Trump told a farmer’s group that: “We love the American farmer,” the […]
Eating their own
I am sure many of you oldsters remember Cesar Chavez, the Navy vet who shook up the agricultural world and helped found the United Farm Workers union.

I didn’t hear an accusation of having forged his Secret Decoder Ring application, but did hear everything but. Federal prosecutors in U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office are dropping […]

There appears to be a bipartisan push in Congress to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to use military force in the Middle East. Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat from Virginia, has a track record of pushing resolutions to limit Trump’s ability to deploy the military for combat purposes.
