A really heartrending article in Bloomberg this afternoon caught my attention.My goodness - a cri de coeur of such plaintive appeal and bereavement that I had to think twice about sharing it with you, tender-hearted friends, knowing what it might do to your gentle selves.But here's the headline anyway, as...
I should do a daily column on their lunacy, this is getting to be so ridiculous.It must be delightful to realize that YOU are the burden to your government, and not the other way around.I mean, that has to be so, else why are they constantly on the march to...
ONE PING ONLY, VASILI Our Secretary of Defense popped up on X today and dropped the MOA PINGS on the Gillibrands of the country.For far too long, we have allowed standards to slip.

Hold that thought.We know exactly what's going on in Europe, and lately it's been especially spicey in Amsterdam, capital city of the Netherlands.They have a car problem.Europeans cars drive into crowds, and now they have cars that try to blow themselves up in the middle of public squares packed...
Well, it certainly took long enough, but at the end of April - the 28th to be exact - Canadians are going to the national polls.For the first time in what seems like eons, there won't be a weepy, woke Fidelito Trudeau at the head of the Liberal ticket.Former Canadian...
Back in mid-March, another sort of shadowy operation, something called the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), was targeted for DOGE inspection thanks to their general recalcitrance in complying with Trump admin directives.

This is an odd thing happening in the land of the Green Grift.It seems there have been all these smallish utility companies in the United Kingdom that have, for instance, sold off shares of their windmills or solar to folks - a co-op, if you will - in exchange for...
This is some breaking news, tell you what.*insert eyeroll*But it does make you wonder 'why now' because it's a pretty significant reduction in the category that they've shamelessly used for propaganda purposes this entire time. But that means a holy moly increase in the other, which is basically an acknowledgment that...
Love is in the air,Every time I look around.Love is in the air,Every sight and every sound.~ sung by John Paul YoungSomething's definitely in the air, but it is most assuredly not the chest-thumping, Death to America, sabre-rattling we've been hearing for the past four years out of the querulous clerics...
