Feb 16, 2026 – I won't tell you what we called the river between the base at Subic Bay and the city of Olongapo just across from it.But it did have its own distinctive l'odeur nauséabonde reminiscent of the outhouses at Girl Scout camp if you mixed it with dead chickens, monkeys, and soy...

Feb 23, 2026 – I waffle back and forth.I know that's probably something you wouldn't normally associate with me, but it's true.What I can't settle on is if we're being royally played, like a supersized joke or something. Or if this current crop of Democratic Party luminaries, across the length and breadth of the entire...

Feb 24, 2026 – The last time I wrote anything at length about the Panama Canal specifically was last April, so almost a year ago.The new Trump administration had moved swiftly to reassert American influence in the region and engineered a pretty impressive about-face as far as the Panamanian government went, which had been in...

Feb 26, 2026 – There are so many loons wandering the streets of the Big Apple, shoving people onto subway tracks from platforms, setting snoozing passengers on fire, and harassing people walking to work or just trying to get home.It's an urban zooscape filled with every type and stripe of animal, from the chirpy,...

Feb 26, 2026 – Now, very odd things can happen in the wintry cold and dark up along our northern border, and often do. The stuff of local legends, in fact. It's the nature of the deep woods and the sometimes peculiar people it takes to survive in that environment.But what's happened in the...

Feb 26, 2026 – We had a bit of a local dust-up a couple of weeks ago.

Feb 27, 2026 – OneIf it seems like I'm having a 'crack on feckless, mewling, treacherous Sir Keir Starmer Day,' why, yes - yes, I am.DIS GUYI think the inventory of what's left of the empire has to be so small now, with basically worthless dribs and drabs that he shouldn't be able to...

Feb 24, 2026 – This is your weekly reminder that just because the Europeans do wounded vanity, umbrage, and virtue-signaling lectures so much better than we do doesn't necessarily mean that what is issuing forth from their sanctimonious streusel holes matches what their barely restrained authoritarian instincts are doing in actuality.One of the best...

Feb 24, 2026 – The US men's hockey team - yeah, that one - got home safely yesterday afternoon to a well-deserved heroes' welcome, only in Miami instead of New York thanks to the recent unpleasant but very hockey-ish weather.🏒🇺🇸 Team USA’s men’s hockey heroes just arrived in Miami and received a water-salute welcome after...
