The time is long past when the mere presence of American troops was a robust deterrent against incursions from bad actors. That deterrence ended on January 20th, 2021, when President Donald Trump left office. It is laughable and naive in the extreme to assume that any agreement made by the current administration (junta) would be…

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and a quick survey of the links fills me with both a sense of dread and believe it or not, one of hope. For sure we are heading at “warp speed” (pun intended) for catastrophe. At this point, with the Afghanistan bug-out disaster disappearing from the headlines (undeservedly…

Good morning, kids. Thursday and the law of totalitarian physics is certainly in evidence. To wit, the more ruin the Left inflicts and the more it is rejected, the louder and more vituperative the vitriol hurled back at us, and the tighter the screws are turned. At the risk of mixing metaphors, only two things…

Good morning, kids. Yesterday, while riding a bus out in the hinterlands of Staten Island, feeling a bit disconnected from the current multiple insanities engulfing the world, I clicked over to the HQ and was stunned by the news of Angelo Codevilla being struck and killed in some sort of traffic accident. It’s even more…
The Morning Rant
The United States Constitution is clear. The President is the commander in chief of the armed forces. The framers of the Constitution knew what they were doing…ensuring civilian control of our military, which meant ultimately that the people controlled the military. Article II, Section 2, Clause 1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of…

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and first up, a clarification. The headline for yesterday’s post, “#HaitiHasNoHomeHere” came from the fertile mind of commenter “Joe Biden,” not me. Apologies for not giving proper credit with the post. Now on to the meshugas and dissolution at hand. Well, our borders have been erased and we’re being flooded with…

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week and the autumnal equinox. As usual, there are a number of things popping all at once, each in its own right that under normal circumstances would be major news, so it’s difficult to try to zero in on just one thing. That said, the catastrophe at our…
France’s Hissy-Fit, Australia’s Duplicitousness, And Biden’s Drooling…A Pox On All Their Houses!
America and The United Kingdom (and its convicts) have been military and social allies since before World War I. Although we are separated by oceans and a common language, the relationship has been a powerful one. While our relationship with France has been benign for far longer…since the Revolutionary War!, France has occasionally acted at…

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and the virtually constant conflagrations from multiple crises since demented Siren Head Joey Bivalve was installed in the Oval Office continue to rage out of control. Most notably, the southern border is out of control, Vanilli Milley struts, preens and gloats instead of begs and pleads for his miserable life,…

Good morning, kids. Today is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Wishing an easy fast for my fellow Tribesman. So, in the face of our top military leader admitting to treason on top of aiding and abetting a criminal and now clearly mentally impaired commander-in-chief commit the greatest strategic blunder (arguably intentionally) in history, the…
