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

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

Burn it to the ground
At this point, putting your kids in public school will only have negative consequences. In short, there are 53 schools in Illinois where none of the kids, ZERO PERCENT, can do math at grade level. Those of you who remember me from my previous blog might recall my hatred of the publik skool sistim. At …

Oh to dream
This isn’t a long post. It’s late, I’ve been doing schoolwork, and I found something that made me nod and think “Yes, that is what the world needs.” But it’s still a true statement that every politician, either federal, state or local, who locked down their population because of something with a 99.97% survival rate, …

Phooey on your modern made up holidays
I like ground hog! I’d even try groundhog if I could, but they’re a bit further East than I am.

It’s amazing what happens when you enforce the law
Texas shows how it’s done .It shouldn’t be a shock that when you enforce the laws and shut down the border, illegal criminals stop coming through. And we all know this, even the National Socialist Democrat Worker’s Party, who is now being stymied in their goal of flooding the country through mass illegal entry. Of …

If you’ve ever wondered
“Hey, maybe the reason these politicians vote this way is because they’re all a bunch of corrupt perverts who are being blackmailed.” The answer is yes. No matter how corrupt and disgusting you think D.C. is, it’s far far worse than that. Titus Warren: Yeah. It’s like an in-house thing. If you know, you know, and …

Under the knife
So, yesterday I went to the eye doc and had a cataract removed. I’ll be undergoing the same procedure on my other eye in two weeks. Reading and typing aren’t the easiest things to do right now, but at least I can see clearly out of my right eye again. I have a follow-up appointment …

It’s not ignorance, it’s malice
The lying liars who talk about climate change know that they’re spouting bullshit. More than 90 percent of NOAA’s temperature monitoring stations have a heat bias, according to Anthony Watts, a meteorologist, senior fellow for environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, author of climate website Watts Up With That, and director of a study …

She can’t be a traitor. She was never an American
Ilhan “Bro-Fo” Omar, the representative of Somalia, says it out loud. During a recent speech, of which clips are now going viral, Omar left nothing to the imagination. She proclaimed to the crowd that Somalis control the U.S. government and that it exists to “safeguard the interests of Somalia.” She also stated that she is …

How about a new plan?
Drooling Joe Biden and his puppet masters admit that what they’re doing isn’t working, but they’re going to continue doing it anyway. Joe Biden admitted the US’s strikes on Houthi forces in the Red Sea are “not working” but will continue. The US President has authorised five rounds of attacks on the Houthi movement’s infrastructure since last Thursday. Here’s my idea, and …

We all knew it
It didn’t matter how much Little Fascist Fauci tried to deny it, it doesn’t matter how much Francis Collins lied about it until he was put under oath, we all knew that Covid 19 came from a lab. And here’s your confirmation, just in case you still weren’t convinced. It’s a Chinese-made virus. Paid for …

Sports Illustrated is done
The entire staff is getting laid off. I used to read SI on a regular basis, both in print and online. But way back in the first Bush administration I noticed the Leftism creeping in. Reporters are notoriously Leftist, and sports reporters are the worst of the lot. There’s a reason that ESPN is so …

This is being done on purpose
Denver’s hospital system my collapse. Key note: 8,000 illegal aliens counted for over 20,000 hospital visits. TWENTY. THOUSAND. HOSPITAL. VISITS. WITHOUT A SINGLE DIME BEING PAYED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. This is being done on purpose. The people running the Biden administration want the system to collapse. It’s part of their …

And I want to open up a deli
Saw this today as I was scrolling through random things. You can hop on over and watch it, it’s about a minute long, and it explains why your sandwich costs close to $20 these days. The more and more I look at opening my own restaurant, the more I’m convinced that I need to be …

Ow.
I went back to the gym on Monday. I’ve been away from the gym for several months, although I can’t say that I haven’t been working out. Anyone who processes trees into firewood knows that it’s a full-body workout. After all, he who heats his house with wood is warmed twice, right? Once when you …

Crap, he’s still alive
You might think me harsh and wrong for wanting Lloyd Austin to shuffle off this mortal coil, but keep in mind that I truly believe that for his crimes he should be publicly hung, and his body left to feed the crows. That’s if the crows would even touch his rancid carcass. But instead, he …

Busy Weekend
I know that I haven’t been posting as much as I should. My apologies. Tomorrow (or today for those on the East Coast) I’ll be driving my mom to my uncle’s funeral. I’ll be back on Monday. I’ve been to far too many funerals this year, or last year, however you want to calculate it. …

Relating to the Narrative Engineering
That our Humble Host mentioned yesterday, I add this report regarding the recruitment woes of the US military. The mention of “partisan scrutiny of the service” is closer to the mark, but that framing blames the response and not the actual problems that exist. It’s the military equivalent of “Republicans pounce.” Why are white people …

Why would Biden talk to anyone?
He isn’t in charge of his own bowel movements, much less anything that’s happening on the world stage. Let’s think about this for a minute. Joe Biden, who is supposed to be the commander in chief, didn’t know for four days that his own defense secretary, a member of his cabinet, was in the hospital. …

SecDef hospitalized for days?
Apparently from a complication after a “minor elective surgery”. I’d like to know what the surgery was. Was he trying to get a spine implanted? Or a set of balls to cover his lack thereof? Or maybe he was getting some liposuction. Who knows? Nobody’s talking, which means that whatever we might think, it’s probably …
