A common trope of military movies is ‘holding fire’ – sometimes phrased as ‘Wait until you see the whites of their eyes’. The time to hold may now be past. assuming that Sean Miller is reading the DoD Directive correctly. I’m not as sure – go here to read the Directive in full. From what …

Same Old, Same Old. Did you know that Kamala is a gun owner? Just a regular person like all the other gun owners in this country! It’s TRUE! She said so. She owns a Glock – just a normal gun for a Real True American! Unfortunately, there are several things WRONG with that story – …

     We’re deep into territory where parody is no longer required – or possible.

Hurricane Sandy, in 2012, killed 106 people in the United States, total. News coverage was 24/7 for weeks. The Federal government rushed in, as did politicians and celebrities. Hurricane Helene has already hit over 120 people, and more to come. Other than SHORT updates, pretty much Bupkis. Appalachia has always lagged behind the rest of …

But, that was then, this is now. I don’t remember that; as that was the year I was pregnant with, and delivered my first child, a lot of events were ignored. My focus was on managing the sudden chaos in my own life. During that year, we moved – twice, once just days after I …

You know it. I know it. All sentient beings know it. Assuming that Trump takes office, expect MASSIVE economic downturns! In the stock market In banks/investment banks In pension funds In the value of housing In employment (The only positive side is that, should jobs not be available, many immigrants will self-deport. It happened in …

When I saw this, I immediately thought of putting it out on Facebook. But, you know how that goes: I’d be reported for “Fake News” Immediately, the Die-Hard, Rabid Liberals/Progressives* would get in my face, telling me I HAD to show them my sources It would all deteriorate into a He Said/She Said hot mess …

But, due to laryngitis. In my previous experiences, it can take a couple of WEEKS to come back. I’m managing. I learned to use my iPad to have it speak my typed messages. I can use Alexa to alert my husband, who might be in another room. I can type a message in the app …

The reports of the gangs took months to make news. But once they are there, our heroes make an issue of not fully vetted rumors of cat eating. I have to question the motives of those who brought the latter to the attention of JD Vance and subsequently Donald Trump. The open borders casually malfeasant …

Don’t wanna watch TV – it’s nothing but crappy shows, and political ads so dumb I can feel my brain cells dying off. I have a nasty respiratory infection. What they used to call a cold. Not Covid, just something that filled my lungs with crud, and is now being coughed out. I really don’t …

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. …

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 …

When a lifelong Democrat, from an iconic Democrat family, who tried to run as a Democrat, and who’s running mate was a Democrat, warns you about the dangers of voting for the Democrat in this election, you should probably listen. — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) August 23, 2024

Yet another non -joyful Walz (doesn’t he look a lot like Ed Asner?) I could not find an angry looking Hillary Clinton photo. Since it’s very rare for her to look happy, not irritated, or with a fixed smile that tries to hide a seething interior, I’m gonna guess that she is either on some …

…to pick the DUMBEST INDIAN on the planet. I mean, think of it. People from the Indian subcontinent are generally thought of as leaning towards the intelligent side of the Bell Curve. Not every one is a genius (although many are, including some that are math stars), but the average Indian possesses sufficient brain power …

It started on Friday afternoon with an odd phenomenon: Flashing lights in the perimeter of my vision. Not constant, but intermittent. At first, I thought it might be reflections off the lenses of my trifocal lenses. I took them off, but the problem persisted. After an hour or so, they were not going away. I …

Should a man so tightly connected to a foreign government, who may have participated in activities at least partially subsidized by the authoritarian Chinese government (CCP) – the extent of Chinese money Walz may have accepted in the late 1990s through 2003 is not known, as it is kept from public scrutiny – be elected …
