Jun 20, 2023 – It turns out we are so wedded to the Chinese, that our own defense sector, while they may be able to “de-risk” – the “it” word of the moment – absolutely find it well-nigh impossible to “de-couple,” in the Gwyneth Paltrow sense. So we are being told as of...

Jun 20, 2023 – And all that whining about “woke” is messing up her schweet, SCHWEET recruiting numbers, doncha know? So she’s come up with a snappy new saying… READY, NOT WOKE …and, now, GOP – please ZIP IT. …Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said on Tuesday that she is concerned...

Jun 20, 2023 – Call me CRAZY, but at $250K a tourist toodle in this thing, I’d want to see Coast Guard and deep water submersible safety certificates and all the nit picky details about crush pressures, etc.. Especially since my odds of surviving even a teensy mishap at THIRTEENTHOUSANDSFEETBENEATHTHESURFACE would be miniscule....

Jul 7, 2023 – Okay. I’ve about had it with this nonsense. Trans women are NOT women – not even remotely. They are men. I do not care how many hormones they pump into their sad, befuddled little bodies, how much silicone they plump their chests up with – or...

Jul 7, 2023 – Well, hey – this news is fun. Just In: The Biden Administration is expected to announce that they’ll be sending more weapons to Ukraine, including a cluster bomb that explodes and shoots clusters everywhere. Just last year the admin said that use of this weapon would...

Jul 7, 2023 – Just ask New York state right about now. Oh, wait – we don’t have to. The Wall Street Journal ran the numbers. New York spent nearly $1 billion over the past decade on Elon Musk’s ambitious plan for what was supposed to be the largest solar-panel factory in...

Jul 6, 2023 – I started looking around a little harder yesterday after doing my post on Fourth of July cook-out costs in the era of Bidenomics. The conflicting numbers and media massaging of the same for the rosiest take on bad news had me wondering if there were some hard calculations already being...

Jul 6, 2023 – Holy smokes, were they hyperventilating about this yesterday on the evening news and they weren’t talking about gun fights at summer block parties in Democratically controlled hellholes. Nope. Weather. I notice CNBC jumped on the “We’re all going to die” bandwagon this morning. SUSTAINABLE FUTURE World registers hottest...

Jul 6, 2023 – This White House must get down on their knees and thank whatever Babylonian gods they worship when a weekend holiday rolls around. They can slide the shiv in just that quick and hope no one notices in all the hubbub of fireworks or finding a cubby full of blow in...

Jul 5, 2023 – Should this be surprising to anyone? I think not, but the city and residents sure seem to act as if it came out of left field. Cathryn Blum has lived in her San Francisco home in Potrero Hill for nearly three decades. For the last 13 years, she...

Jul 5, 2023 – Well, it certainly depends on who you ask and how friendly they are with the current administration. I hadn’t realized there was such a disparity in the figures and reporting until Monday night. We watched, as always, the CBS Evening News (know your enemy) and there was the traditional...

Jul 5, 2023 – There is so much to speculate on here about “what stunt is the stunt too far” for these self-centered lunatics to pull. Being prone to reacting with a prompt “I have had enough of your Schlitz/Oh, NO, you don’t,” I find the British reticence to beat the crap out...

Jul 4, 2023 – There are things you miss when you’re on active duty and deployed. Shoot, you can NOT be deployed and still miss birthdays, holidays, that kid walking for the first time because of duty or operations, whatever – but at least you’re still HOME. But when you’re out on a...

Jul 3, 2023 – This is quite a story on its face. Botswana will increase its take of the diamonds De Beers mines there from 25% to 50% in 10 years’ time, part of a deal that extends the company’s relationship with the country while loosening its hold on its output there....

Jul 3, 2023 – Ukraine grows enough grain to feed 400 million people, and the shock of the Russian invasion – with the threat of that food source being suddenly cut-off – was enough to send global food prices skyrocketing. It also engendered a food shortage panic that hasn’t quite subsided to this day,...

Jul 3, 2023 – If the only reason you’re thinking about buying that snazzy, expensive, battery-operated vehicle to show-off in your driveway is because you believe you’re doing the right thing for the planet, fuggedaboudit. The clean and green news just keeps getting worse for these electric money pits, no matter how desperate...

Jun 30, 2023 – Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, has a problem. It’s his opinion of himself. It’s really quite high and, frankly, he’s overrated. He’s also a prickly, racist ass when his “tool cool for school” mask slips. One thing he can’t handle, which he shares with...

Jun 30, 2023 – Four long years of abuse and litigation have come to a just end for Maya Forstater this afternoon. Congratulations to @MForstater, who receives over £100k in compensation from @cgdev, who were found to have discriminated against her due to her gender critical beliefs, which, as her case established, are worthy...

Jun 30, 2023 – And I said “France,” not “Paris” because why? Carbeque fever is spreading like crazy. With the start of the violent protests Tuesday, they’d mostly been confined to the “blue collar, immigrant majority” suburb where the young man lived whose death sparked it all. By last night, even...

Jul 19, 2023 – Yesterday, the Illinois State Supreme Court drove what might be the last nail in Chicago’s coffin, if not eventually the entire state’s. After halting the measure at the last moment before it came into effect on January 1 of this year, they have issued a decision that the...

Jul 19, 2023 – [Cue: sad trombone[ Oh, man. That hound-dog horse-face. All that carbon emitting, globe-trotting effort? After decades of climate policy flops, Kerry’s effort to secure a climate deal with China falls short yet again pic.twitter.com/4UL8m5V201 — Net Zero Watch (@NetZeroWatch) July 19, 2023 For naught....

Jul 19, 2023 – Now, I AM blonde and well known to be a tad on the daffy side, but this “announcement” was truly confusing, because… The funding that was previously denied to have existed has now been stopped. Nothing to see here, move on. Biden cuts off funding to Wuhan Institute...

Jul 18, 2023 – This was bound to happen sooner or later, and to my jaundiced eye it seems much later than I’d anticipated. The revolting situation is almost as I’d envisioned. An 18-year-old military recruit forced to shower with biological males as part of the Biden administration’s transgender policies is complaining about...

Jul 18, 2023 – Mass Transit Authority – has a real official ring to it doesn’t it? Like someone who knew something took charge and made something happen to officially fill a community need. That might be true somewhere else, but in New York City? Pfft. What a disaster. (And if...

Jul 18, 2023 – Just a couple months ago, I wrote a post about New York State’s collision course with dark and cold. The fact that their powers-that-be were busy mandating all sorts of Draconian new regulations, mandates, and shutdowns, all in the name of saving the planet from the miserable cretins who inhabit...
