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

Not a shock
The various weight loss drugs that people are using to drop pounds also shows a decrease in the severity of the Kung Flu. Honestly, this shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. One of the leading co-morbidities that lead to death from the Beijing Barf was obesity. When you’re obese, and I do mean obese, …

Back home
Mentally and emotionally exhausted. No, I wasn’t close to my father-in-law. Hell, his own kids weren’t close to him. It was the wife and her family that drained me and made me rethink every marital decision I’ve made over the past two decades. Needless to say, I’ve already bowed out of the next family reunion. …

Travels
If you’ve been reading me for a while on the old blog, you know that my father in law died some time ago. He was a retired Army guy, and he did quite a bit during Korea and Viet Nam. He was cremated upon his death, and this week he will be interred at Arlington …

Gee, I wonder why the Catholic Church is having a hard time keeping people?
I mean, with leaders like this, I would think virtuous Christians would be just breaking down the doors, right? Cardinal Blase Cupich, the progressive Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, offered the invocation for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Monday without ever mentioning Jesus Christ. The DNC with it’s mobile abortion vans. The DNC with it’s proud …

That Lucky Old Sun
Way back when I had long hair and things didn’t hurt, I was actually a pretty good musician. I played drums and saxophone, and I sang. That fell by the wayside as my military career started taking bigger and bigger chunks out of my life. There were other considerations as well, some valid and some …

Commie-la’s price controls
After I enlisted and left the area, Dad finally told his old job, with it’s toxic boss who slept her way to the top, to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut and went out to find a new job. Dad was a computer and math whiz. He put his resume out there, and …

Evil does exist. Satan never stops.
That’s what went through my head when I read this news report. A 25-year-old mother in Michigan and her 32-year-old boyfriend have been arrested and accused of torturing and killing her 6-year-old son, who was kept in a pen, stapled to the wall, and repeatedly shot with a BB gun, among other things. I won’t go into everything that poor boy …

The Death Cult
So, nine years ago, then California AG Kamala Harris prosecuted a reporter in California for the heinous crime of exposing that Planned Parenthood was selling off the parts of the babies they had murdered in the womb. Thanks to the years of prosecution, those videos haven’t been allowed out. Until today. In the first conversation, the undercover …

Tim Walz? Seriously?
The dude who let Minneapolis burn to the ground after George Floyd did his drug overdose on camera? The dude who has successfully turned Minnesota into Somalia? This is where my brain kicks into hyperdrive? Tim Walz is such a failure that without the outright voter fraud (and the votes of the Somalis who want …

Well well, look who finally showed up
Jorge Bergoglio the anti-Pope finally had someone issue a statement regarding the blasphemous opening of the Paris Olympics. “The Holy See was saddened by certain scenes at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games and cannot but join the voices raised in recent days to deplore the offense done to many Christians and believers …

The cheating has already begun
No, I’m not talking about the DNC crowning the Cackling Whore of Scat Fransicko as their nominee despite the fact that she has never won a single primary. I’m talking about the DNC’s plan to get her more votes. What do you do when people don’t want to vote for a completely fake politician who …

How much are you willing to do?
So, does anyone know what the term “scraping” is in the context of physical therapy? It’s when they take a metal “scraper”, a metal tool, and literally scrap the tissue that they’re trying to work on. With me, it’s my Achilles tendon. Also, a cortisone shot into the ankle is not something that I recommend. …

Falling on his sword
The head of CENTCOM, General Kurilla, is doing what good leaders do, and telling the truth to the Perfumed Princes of the Puzzle Palace. However, given that Lloyd “Fuck the troops” Austin and his hand-picked coterie of jockstrap-sniffing DEI cockgoblins don’t want to hear the truth since the truth interrupts the narrative, I fear the …

We all know the answer to this question
“Would they’ve dared to mock Islam in a similar way?” No, Bishop, they would not. You know it, I know it, hell, everyone knows it. Because Christian men are soft. Christian men are afraid to give offence by speaking plainly, that Islam is a satanic religion founded by a pedophile who’s only contribution to the …

I’ve had two tabs open for a while
I didn’t quite know how to comment on them, because the topic generally makes me devolve into a seething lump of rage that does nothing but utter expletives. First up, here’s a report about how the Biden administration has been trafficking children. The Biden administration is facing serious allegations of mishandling human trafficking issues after …

The Democrat-Media Complex is hard at work
Now that Drooling Joe is not running, and Heels-Up Harris is crowned as the new American Communist Party savior, the media is hard at work trying to wash her clean, and gaslighting the American people. Luckily for us, the internet is forever. For example, even though we all heard it with our own ears and …

So the Prime Minister of Israel is visiting the USA
And neither the pResident nor the VP can take time to meet him? I’d say the Democrats are fully in the thrall of their jihadi element. But we knew this from the protests all over college campuses this summer. Hell, the Left has been all in for the terrorists for decades. It was only the …

Sheila Jackson Lee is dead
CNN writes her hagiography. Unlike 99% of the congress critters out there, SJL is one of the congress critters I have actually met in person. She was as racist and stupid as she seemed. It wasn’t a matter of the cameras making her appear that dumb, She really was that dumb. I hate to say …

OK, it’s been a while
I think I can talk about the Trump assassination attempt now. Number one – if the Secret Service actually was trying to get Trump killed, rather than just total and complete incompetency, exactly what would they have done differently? Number two – we all know the diversity hire in charge of the Secret Service isn’t …

And now for something completely non-political
Teoscar Hernandez, who played for the Mariners last year was let go in the off season and signed with the Dodgers. Apparently he struck out too much. Tonight he just won the home-run derby at the All Star game. This is about as Mariners as you can get. Would you like to guess how many …
