Grumpy retired Army guy. I was grumpy before I retired, I just am old enough now for it to be in character.

Yes, I’m still alive
Speaking of trials…. I had the joy of my wife passing on an upper respiratory virus some weeks ago. As I was recovering from that, I damaged the tendons in my right foot. Specifically the ones that run down the back of the calf through the ankle, and control the stabilizing elements of my foot. …

Another wind-up toy hits close to home
Aloha Snackbar! CNN reported Tuesday that Mercurio “planned to attack churches in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on Sunday ‘using weapons, including knives, firearms, and fire,’ according to court documents cited by the Justice Department.” He is accused of writing out his plan: “Stop close by the church, equip the weapon(s) and storm the temple, kill as many people as possible …

Even a flatworm turns away from pain
And even Oregon can regain a modicum of sanity. On Monday, Oregon’s Democratic Governor Tina Kotek signed into law House Bill 4002, reverting the possession of small amounts of drugs back into a criminal offense and marking the end of a pioneering decriminalization experiment plagued by implementation challenges. To the surprise of absolutely nobody with two functioning …

When someone tells you who they are,
Believe them. If you thought March 31 was Easter Sunday, think again, heretic. And no, I’m not referring to the fact that for, Orthodox Christians, Easter falls this year on May 5. Those who celebrate Easter on March 31 are heretics from the standpoint of the Biden regime’s favored religion, which is worlds away from …

Is it just me
Or is there anyone else out there who reads an article like this and thinks “Nothing I can do about it. I hope they hit D.C.” So what is to be done? Well, we can vote the bums out, but even if we do, all too many Republicans are just as squeamish as Democrats about …

Technology, or the lack thereof, is not the problem
There’s a link from Instapundit to an essay that states technology will be the way to reverse the birth decline. Or how about this: What if tech-driven economic growth makes us so much richer that we simply choose to work less? Maybe a lot less. With all that extra time and all those extra resources, …

The Diversity Hire strikes again
She’s either dumber than a wet sack of hammers, or she’s evil. There are no other options. In Monday’s oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri, Jackson appeared to be skeptical that the government could not censor social media posts in “the most important time periods.”“ My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment …

Just remember, this is being done on purpose
Hezbollah member caught entering USA, claims he wants to build a bomb. A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal. Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by border patrol on March …

The state of the union
Yeah, I didn’t watch the speech. I didn’t need to listen to Drooling Joe the Chinese Hand Puppet slur/shout for an hour. The clips of it that I did see were just as bad as I expected him to be – lying, mean-spirited, demented. Mush-brained. And doped up to his bulging eyeballs on so many …

A cult, you say? Of Death?
Why, I wonder what actions a satanic death cult would take to show that it’s a satanic death cult. I mean, they don’t often parade around in pentagrams and occult clothing, although that’s certainly happening in Hollywood. Still, if one were a member of a satanic death cult, how would we know? New documents obtained …

They want you weak and dependent
The World Economic Forum is telling governments to stop people from growing their own food because of Climate Change. Yeah. Of course they are. The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling on governments to ban the general public from growing their own food at home by arguing that they are causing “climate change.” According to …

We were right, they were wrong
And there’s still not even a hint of an apology coming our way, so they can fuck right off and die screaming. Ironically, the CDC’s new guidance from March 1 not only recommends good hygiene and vaccination (despite evidence of the COVID vaccine’s serious risks), it recommends “cleaner air” and “gathering outdoors.” Do you remember how many people obediently stayed locked …

Twelve Minutes
Take twelve minutes out of your life and go watch this short interview on Twitter./X/Twix. Folks, the reason Russia invaded Ukraine is because of the Deep State here in the USA. The State Department, the CIA, all of those corrupt pieces of garbage, fomented a coup in 2014 under the “leadership” of Barry Obumblefuck the …

Yes, they really are that stupid and evil.
The government thinks that ARs can shoot 600 rounds a second. And one of the Democrat idiotic trained barking seals on the court thinks that’s totally wrong. It’s 800 rounds a second, according to that diversity hire who can’t define a woman. Well, no wonder people are so afraid of the AR platform! That wimpy …

True dat
I found that on this post on Twitter. Or X. Twix? Whatever you want to call it now, but someone has a video that was taken in Sweden where a blonde liberal female reporter tried to show just how wonderful all that vibrancy and diversity was. And, well…. it didn’t turn out well for them. …

How to lose the support of the average Joe Sixpack.
So, when an Amazon driver has to defend himself from one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens who was also masturbating in public, you would expect the cops to grab the guy who was pulling his pud on the sidewalk. Yeah, not so much. Police arrested Abu and charged him with third-degree assault after Sanchez claimed that Abu …

Sometimes, you are only limited by yourself
Many years ago, when I was still a teen, my brother was auditioning to be accepted into a musical school. He played bass. I say “played”, but in reality he made that instrument sing in ways that most people won’t understand, and I’m not about to try to explain it. My brother has more musical …

And now I can see
Had the surgery on my other eye yesterday. After a lifetime of bad vision, the fact that I can wake up, open my eyes and actually SEE is somewhat awe-inspiring. What a fascinating modern age we live in. Although the eye drops aren’t much fun, but they’re only temporary.

They say that innocence is bliss
It’s not Lent yet. But still, in my life I find myself recognizing that I’m not the person that God wants me to be. Some of the most beautiful music is when we fallen sinners acknowledge that we are imperfect, and we ask God for forgiveness. I guess I’m not as ignorant as I want …

Seems appropriate
Since Pascal Fervor sent me this a while ago, and Mr. Porretto put up the post directly underneath this one….
