Too Dumb to Be a Senior Leader

By | July 13, 2024

[July 13, 2024]  After watching President Joe Biden give a press conference last night and him taking “pre-approved” questions from “pre-selected” journalists, I’m reminded of several times in my military career when I worked for people too dumb to be a senior leader.  I’ve written about them before, so I won’t open that can of worms.  But I… Read More »

A Kid and his Pets

By | July 12, 2024

[July 12, 2024] A pet is one of the most beautiful things a kid can have.  Pets return the affection you give them, provide company when you are lonely and are loyal.  They also never complain, betray you, call you names – they are always there for you.

By | July 11, 2024

[July 11, 2024]  Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivered a dissenting opinion on the majority opinion that presidents are immune from prosecution for actions related to their core duties.  Her hysterics show that she is nothing but a political hack and seriously uneducated on U.S. law, the military, and American culture, or, more likely, she wants to be… Read More »

Letters to My Granddaughter, No. 83

[July 8, 2024]  Good teeth, good health.  My first dentist appointment was when I was 14.  I was lucky; many kids I’d grown up with were adults before they had their first dentist checkup.  My dentist was as old as the dinosaurs and kinda weird in his own way.  Dad called him a “guild barber,” whatever that meant… Read More »

A Lying Dog-Faced Pony Media

[July 6, 2024]  I want to thank Joe Biden for the moniker Lying Dog-Faced Pony Soldier, and today I’m using it as a descriptor for America’s left-wing media that has known about Biden’s mental decline for years but has failed to clue us in on the “secret.”  Carl Bernstein, the fabled Watergate reporter and anti-Trump cheerleader, just said… Read More »

[July 5, 2024]  A couple of days ago, Scott Johnson at PowerLineBlog posted an amusing post about the Presidential “campaign songs.”  This article is devoted to figuring out what the Biden-Harris theme song will be.  And Scott goes back a few years to give us examples from Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. … Read More »
