Dec 2, 2024 – Over the weekend some amazing things happened under the radar in Syria.Turkish-backed Islamic rebels, who have been causing the Assad regime no end of heartburn for years now (since freedom protests in 2011, basically), decided to goose their game and went rolling through the countryside. Bashar al-Assad's forces - with...

Dec 5, 2024 – Taylor Lorenz, former Washington Post employee and resident hysteric of indeterminate years, has managed - through means fair or foul - to live the mean girl dream life of every 12-year-old pre-teen with a cranky streak and head full of overwrought revenge fantasies.This adolescent trapped in a woman's frame has...

Nov 25, 2024 – Another sign o' the times a' changin' is happening. As technology rockets into the 'gulping electricity stage' and away from the 'touchy-feely Gaia friendly' pose they used to be able to pull off (until their power needs overcame their #feelz), we are seeing more and more couplings that, once upon...

Nov 25, 2024 – McColl, South Carolina, is one of those tiny Southern towns that has a history of being something at their founding. Situated just about eight miles from the North Carolina border, in 1874, McColl had been lucky enough to be the spot chosen for a depot to be built on a...

Dec 2, 2024 – The 'Sick Man' of Europe marches steadily along.Underrated that Germany has gotten, essentially, every major decision of the 21st century wrong.Reliance on Russian energy. Significant underinvestment in infrastructure. Refusal to deficit spend. Belief that China wouldn't leverage their "partnership" to develop its own… pic.twitter.com/j1kMTX6Syi— Hunter📈🌈📊 (@StatisticUrban) November 28, 2024And...

Nov 28, 2024 – We are lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Pensacola has been blessed with so much, from the stunning turquoise and teals in those warm Gulf of Mexico waters lapping (usually) on our squeaky-under-your-feet sugar sand beaches to the inland waterways with the abundance of...

Dec 3, 2024 – The headline is SO refreshing, and I can't say it enough - it's about damned time someone started talking like this who wasn't one of us screaming it from the peanut gallery.Of course, you all knew who it was.And President-elect Donald Trump let rip even as POTATUS mumble-mouthed through an announcement...

Dec 3, 2024 – The latest complaint, among the deluge coming from Democratic mouths and hardcore Swamp RINOS, is that none of the Trump nominees are being 'vetted' by the unbiased investigative professionals at the *checks notes*...*spits* Federal Bureau of Investigation.Not just no, but hay-yull, no.Any self-styled expert who can even suggest it with...

Nov 26, 2024 – Oh, my gosh.We've got another one of those mayors on our hands, and is he ever the poster child for progressive politicians.Hizzoner's name is Michael O'Connor, and he's the mayor of Crazytow...wait. Check that.Frederick, Maryland - a town of about 80K people, with a median household income of almost $90K....

Nov 27, 2024 – In the annals of the well-traveled and exceptionally privileged global elite, few have been more obnoxiously pedantic, pestiferous, and pretentious than horse-faced patrician John Kerry.What a risible boob.From the time the world first heard the sonorous intonations of the self-aggrandizing Forbes family socialite from Massachusetts, he has managed to irritate...

Nov 26, 2024 – It's always something with the Green Grifters.The latest out of the once bustling metropolis of Detroit is the mayor's plan to continue his battle against urban blight and resident flight by, oh...not refurbishing houses or building new ones on the vacant sites littering the city.Well, shoot - some aren't even...

Nov 26, 2024 – I am sure this will be a precedent-setting ruling, whatever the outcome. I mean, how can it not be, considering that even reportedly brilliant legal minds raised to the heights of our own SCOTUS find themselves completely flummoxed when confronted by that very same thorny question?WHAT IS A WOMAN?During her...

Nov 26, 2024 – The unfortunate 'indigents' we're talking about, of course, are the Democratic National Committee staff members laid off last week with 'no notice.''What is this, Beege?' you cry. 'How can this be?! Kamala had, like, a billion dollars or something didn't she?'Why, yes. Yes, she did.The problem is - as I noted...

Nov 27, 2024 – With all that's wrong with the military in the reign of POTATUS the First under his Secretary of Defense, doofus Lloyd Austin, the one thing the military needs above all else has been the one thing consistently jacked up almost from Day 1, particularly on the Army side of the...

Nov 27, 2024 – In the United Kingdom, the ruling Labour party is in a bit of a pickle.A petition demanding the reviled Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had 2.7M signatures and counting (2,824,368 right now) after less than three days of being active.It is abundantly clear that British voters should have the right...

Nov 27, 2024 – Yeah.Pretty much.MSNBC is facing a staggering ratings collapse in the wake of the 2024 election, with the network’s audience shrinking by nearly half as Fox News became the only cable news outlet to show post-election growth.According to Nielsen data, MSNBC’s total viewership has dropped by 47 percent post-election, and its critical...

Nov 25, 2024 – As if Germans didn't have enough on their plates...or maybe too little is the problem.In any event, how they've gotten on since she left them has been a massive disappointment to their loving Mutti Merkel, former forever Chancellor, Angela Merkel.She sounds a little Eeyore-ish these days and, much like another...

Dec 5, 2024 – If there has been one thing I've truly enjoyed besides the unbearable lightness of being that came with the November 6 election results, it's the unending parade of absurdities spewing from the panicked creatures of the Left ever since.My goodness gracious.With all the hysteria they worked so diligently and earnestly...

Dec 5, 2024 – The Biden administration is doing its dangedest to Trump-proof as many of their climate cult partners in crime as they can. Or at least ensure they have healthy parting gifts before the money spigot is shut off for good by the incoming president and his new EPA head.There are billions...

Dec 5, 2024 – It doesn't matter if you're talking New York City or the European Union. So many formerly accepted social norms, what were once recognized as civilized behaviors or anticipated and correct outcomes, have been turned on their head by progressive, Woke ideology that it's hard to know which end is up.Can...

Dec 6, 2024 – There's a certain brand of Republican who ticks all the right boxes and then gets to, say, the Senate, and the magic of the Special Boys Club goes to their heads, be they male or female.A little more of that campaign fire in the belly seems to be extinguished every...

Dec 6, 2024 – I heard this on the radio this morning when I was out and about for a few minutes, and I was really taken aback.I know San Diego has moved to the blue side consistently since we left California decades ago, but I hadn't realized, environmental whackos aside, that they have...

Oct 23, 2024 – There's nothing like dishing a little dirt, especially if it's campaign leaks. For all the incendiary, mendacious, defamatory garbage the Democrats are throwing against Trump, hoping against hope some slur or outright disgusting fabrication sticks in time to save their asterisks, it's fascinating watching the Democratic candidates and spouses, in...

Oct 23, 2024 – Once upon a time - which seems very, very long ago, but actually wasn't in the significance of the passage of time - there were great and thoughtful liberal magazines. Printed and bound monthlies where ardent, well-thought-out articles presented opinions and arguments that were cogent, rational, and sometimes even persuasive...

Oct 23, 2024 – No, I'm not talking about millennials and their problems with communicating and forming relationships with other human beings.I am talking about the clouds of insects peculiar to north Florida and the Panhandle in the summertime.When we first got down here from Norf Cacklelackey in July of '99, my aunt was...
