Dominican Republic 1965
JeffLPH sends – this was the USS Okinawa ‘Family Newsletter’ from 15 May 1965. May not ring bells with many of you, but we got ourselves briefly involved in another hot spot then, half-way around the world from Vietnam. He notes that the deployment went so rapidly that they had trucks piling up on the […]
Hegseth’s body man’s qualifications questioned
SECDEF Hegseth’s office is in the midst of a couple of scandals. We talked recently about his troubles with using the app Signal for potentially sensitive information, but there’s also an IG investigation in leaks to the media.

Wednesday Weirdness
Never thought I would ever say this – but I found myself agreeing with the Squad briefly. Damn, feel like I should wash my mouth out after saying that. AOC is up first on the list. Yeah, little donkey-toothed Sandy managed to slip a decent statement between those tombstone teeth of hers. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez […]
Updates, Tax Day style
Have a few updates for the TAH world. Remember Zachary Young? He is the Navy vet who was excoriated on CNN for ‘running a black-market smuggling operation and gouging poor Afghan refugees’. That little bit of journalistic, shall we say impromptuism (okay, they bent the truth far past its breaking point), caused them to settle […]
House passes bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship
