May 24, 2024 – Things are quickly reaching a boiling point in the European ruling Left versus rising right-wing political wars as the angst about upcoming European Union elections reaches a fever pitch.German Greens especially, but progressives across the EU have been throwing shade at populist parties for months now, as regional after regional...

May 27, 2024 – Memorial Day weekends are especially hard at our house. As a military family with someone in uniform for every conflict this great nation has faced going back to the Revolutionary War, we have a reverence for this land, what it takes to defend it, and those who do. We cherish...

May 31, 2024 – Until I hit a Marine Corps flightline, I had no idea what "chocks" were unless connected in a phrase to "Full O' Nuts."What can I say? I was a veritable babe in the north Jersey woods.For those who haven't been introduced to "chocks," this is what they are (watch what...

May 31, 2024 – One week ago I wrote a post about how "right wing" AfD (Alternative for Germany) party representatives in the European Parliament (called MEPs for Members of the European Parliament) had been booted from their EU coalition by Marine LePen's group. Whatever the alleged catalyst - a brouhaha over "unacceptable" remarks...

May 29, 2024 – (With apologies to Albert Hammond)Anyone with half a brain saw this coming from at least a mile away and was told either 1) they were crazy that would never happen or 2) shut up, infidel.Bad enough that the Golden State has sold everyone a bill of goods on their solar...

May 29, 2024 – Well...okay.Maybe the man didn't EXACTLY say that. I might have employed a little poetic license, but come on now - the effect is the same.He said "no" to politely worded requests for recusal in a couple kind of important cases coming up that Dems would dearly love to puncture the conservative...

May 30, 2024 – Crooked POTATUS better pray a jury convicts Trump today because the results his terrific #Bidenomics keep producing are fixin' to put paid to his wife's continued occupation of her imperial throne.Wall Street's already in a swoon this morning - 9:30 CST and the Dow's been banging around the -400 points...

May 30, 2024 – In the wake of Biden's epically disastrous Afghanistan retreat - you remember. That's the one where desperate Afghans fell to the tarmac after clinging to airplanes in bids to escape, and 13 precious American service members perished in a suicide bombing at the gates of the Kabul Airport.Biden couldn't wait...

May 30, 2024 – For all the money the Biden administration has been frantically shoveling into the wind sector - I'm praying this is a last-minute, panicked gambit on their part because November looks dicey - it's all coming to late to help out some of the biggest names in wind turbine development.Siemens Gamesa,...

May 31, 2024 – For an "international" judicial body to which the countries and individuals upon which they're rendering judgment aren't even signatories authorizing the power they believe they have the almighty authority to wield, the clowns on the International Criminal Court (ICC) sure have an outsized opinion of themselves.In the first place, who...

May 15, 2024 – There's been a Mercedes Benz factory outside of Tuscaloosa, Alabama for almost 30 years, and, for the company, it's been a pretty big deal.

May 15, 2024 – Big discussion on X yesterday gave us a window into the WEF's absolute consternation with we of the knuckle-dragging crowd's obstinance when it comes to meekly following their dictates.Just as POTATUS has a blindspot and is uber defensive...okay, about most everything, but this in particular...the benefits of #Bidenomics, which we...

May 17, 2024 – Back in November, a seismic shock was running through the dark underbelly of the Netherlands and European Union ruling elite. "Far-right" politician Geert Wilders was on the cusp, according to exit polls, of winning enough seats to be the guy who would form the next Dutch government.It looks like populist...

May 17, 2024 – Who knew they were flying that gaudy, obnoxious alphabet-sex soup flag over the animal kingdom?More importantly...who cared?You won't be surprised to find that NBC cared and that they've done a special documentary celebrating gay and transgender animals just in time for Pride Month.Take a worldwide journey exploring the rich diversity of...

May 17, 2024 – Didn't I just say the other day that everything Green touches soon turns to something brown?This is another incredible example.Australia's been going gangbusters on the solar power, even to the point of losing what little arable land they have to dump millions of solar panels on top.Massive farms, which, in...

May 29, 2024 – Maybe because I've only eaten in a Cracker Barrel once since 1993 have I really paid attention to them in any fashion other than, "DAMN! That parking lot is always packed!"Our 1993 visit was a really good dinner for Ebola* and me on a cross-country leg, moving from SoCal to...

May 23, 2024 – This is another of those "Oh, Coulda Told Ya" stories that you find just grab your attention when you're reading up on other related things.

May 10, 2024 – Would someone please point me in the direction of the last san...never mind. After what they've willingly done to their economies and their fellow citizens, there obviously isn't one unaltered, functioning brain cell between them.But I sure am dying to know WHY IN THE SAM HELL these eco-terrorist Malthusian cult members...

May 13, 2024 – There have been some spectacular flameouts in the land of solar cells lately.Actually, there was one today.

May 16, 2024 – We've long known Mexico is not our friend.

May 16, 2024 – Have you seen all those news reports lately about how expensive fast food has gotten?
