Imported Valor Thieves
Sources show some 700,000 foreign-born veterans- many of whom have become naturalized citizens- live in the U.S. today. Around 45,000 immigrants are currently serving. Over the last century, military service has provided a pathway to American citizenship for nearly a million immigrants. Call me biased; anyone who raises their right hand in defense of this […]
Random Saturday stuff
The Air Force, the Air Force… honestly, I’m not trying to pick on them but they just keep doing things. The latest is that they leaked confidential records of Republican politicians who are former service members: Much of the records appear to have been requested by and turned over to an opposition research firm that […]
Valor Friday
With this week’s announcement that Colonel Paris Davis will receive America’s highest award, the Medal of Honor, for actions almost 60 years ago, I want to take a look at another overlooked man. The US isn’t the only country that denies proper recognition for acts of valor. Canadian veterans have for quite a while now […]
So you like socialized medicine?
Canada has socialized medicine, right? I know we have some here (in the US, not necessarily on this forum) who think it should be mandatory here. But, like communism, the theory seems to be far divorced from the reality, and it’s coming to a head in Ontario, where the Health Ministry is asking doctors […]
Formerly Free Canada hits new low
For those who say “all we want to do with guns is X” you can just point north. Regulations prohibiting the sale, purchase or transfer of handguns within Canada took effect on Friday, as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the measure builds on earlier efforts banning handgun imports. But Tyler Shandro, Alberta’s Minister of […]
PTSD and TBI from your service? The Canadian VA says, “We’d like to help you kill yourself”
Canada has a reputation for being a place with nice scenery, nice fishing, and, above all, nice people. Apparently those that are part of the Veterans Affairs Canada bureaucracy are heartless fucks who would rather see struggling veterans get access to Canada’s relatively new doctor assisted suicide (called Medical Assistance in Dying, MAiD). Intended to […]
Regarding Those Idiot-Stick Mandates….
This should really piss off the mumblegum birdbrains in the general area of The Swamp: https://www.route-fifty.com/public-safety/2022/02/dem-mask-mandate/361730/ As the omicron variant of Covid-19 fades, at least five states with Democratic governors this week moved to roll back mask mandates. It’s a sign that even states that took a more cautious approach to battling the virus are looking […]
The Truckers Are Coming! The Truckers Are Coming!
Canadian truckers protesting Covid restrictions are being joined by some sympathetic US truckers, under the disapproving eyes of the Ottawa police. While the Ottawa police view this with annoyance, there is as yet no violence involved. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/02/freedom-convoy-alberta-blockade-vaccine-mandate-protests/ TORONTO — Ottawa police said Wednesday that a “significant element” from the United States has been involved in […]
