Okay, here comes the line up for today. I hope you enjoy it and find it food for thought … or if not, maybe a little smile to your face, or a frown as the case may be. As always, you are welcome to skewer my commentary to each link with your comments either here or on my Facebook Page or if you rather, you could say something nice. Either way, I leave it up to you.
Note: Each block of text actually is a link to a story or a web page that I am commenting on. Click on that text and it will take to the page being referred to.
This is awesome ... you just have to watch this seagull.
A testament to those who served and paid a price ... as well as their families, who also served and paid a price.
I am with Bob Dole (who I really like and respect - unlike his wife, but that is another story) and I hope he can help push forward the memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower, who is a towering figure in American history and only now is getting more respect as a president.
It looks like the Obama Administration is upping the ante in the war on ISIS ... not sure where this is headed ... but I hope the left is on board.
Interesting "Rogues Gallery" of key Iranian figures ... now free to fund their nefarious activities again.
This story is a sad commentary on how the current administration has undermined too many people's faith in the rule of law and respect of individual rights. It distresses me no end.
This diner flap (pun intended) has gotten out of hand, but the etiquette experts in this story are totally correct.
New Army night sight - will wonders never cease to happen ... while the soldier of the future rapidly fills with concepts from science fiction ... I still wonder what happens when the batteries go flat or the CPU gets hit ... nothing really replaces knowing how to shoot with iron sights.
The sad thing is that the Air Force has never liked the A-10, even though it probably is the best at what it does. It is interesting that it would rather junk the plane than sell it second-hand to allied air forces ... I mean, is that holding a grudge, or what.
If I were the Saudis, I wouldn't trust any promise coming out of the US these days ... because I don't think there is the will to back any of them up.
Unmanned aerial vehicles are added to the asymmetrical threat of hybrid warfare ... folks, this is getting serious and we ignore it at our own peril.
Excellent article on humanitarian interventions ... and a cautionary one ... one hopes the military leadership continues to play devil's advocate on such ideas.
Obviously, this case will not accept the scientific evidence ... because it is convenient to continue the campaign to tear down the authority of law enforcement.
This may be one of the most significant steps in recent history, especially if the vaccine can see wide spread use in South America, Africa and other Third World countries where malaria is by far the largest health threat to people.
Boy, the US Army seems to be needing to learn the words to Happy Wanderer as it keeps sending it Stryker units on road trips around Europe.
This is an object lesson on handling loaded (and unloaded) firearms ... this guy was lucky as were those around him
Not really news, but still ... the Army Chemical Warfare people need to get a handle on this and make sure it doesn't happen again.
It is statistics like these about illegal immigrants (or whatever term you wish to use to call them) that make Donald Trump's rhetoric resonate with many people.
More bad news for Hillary Clinton ... not that anyone seems to be paying attention. This is another example of how the rule of law is being chipped away at by actions of leaders who chose to ignore the law.
This commentary actually illustrates the increasing Balkanization of the American society. That folks is a real problem, that our leadership seems to be encouraging - and that is disheartening. Rather than cater to the special interest group of the moment, we really need to be focusing on the commonalities we all share.
This commentary is a rather stinging indictment of the coverage of the Planned Parenthood problems and of Planned Parenthood itself. It just makes one wonder what it takes to get those in favor of abortion on demand to see the damage it is causing ... in so many ways.
Mr. Rachel's politically incorrect rhetoric takes on Bruce Jenner
Another secular-humanist assault on Christianity ... which is fine ... but it just shows to me, the hubris of secular-humanists ... but then they don't believe in the literal inerrancy of the Christian Bible (to wit I ask, Which Bible? Which translation are you using? And which translation is using which translation ... you get the drift).
Sometimes I think John Kerry exists is some delusional alternate reality universe ... but who knows what he and the president mean these days
What was it TR said about walking softly but carrying a big stick ... well, obviously, the Iranians are not buying John Kerry's talking loudly outside both sides of his mouth ... and basically disavowing the big stick
Lighter-Than-Air aircraft are just absolutely cool.
Spate of mass violence ... I am telling you it keeps reminding me of the world portrayed in Clockwork Orange.
Leave to NBC to be out front with the Clinton spin ... is there nothing that will garner their condemnation of America's Royal Power Couple.
Another story on crime and illegal immigrants ... folks, we really do have a problem here ... how we solve it is up to you, because I can't do anything
Another example of the White House venerating flouting the law ... they just don't get it about the damage they are doing to the rule of law ... which seems to be rapidly imploding in the United States.
If this is true, then why have inspections? How stupid is this.
Assuming this commentary is correct ... then just another example of the current onslaught against the rule of law in the US. And we just let this happen? Where did we go wrong? Granted, I'll grant people their right to protest, but at least be civil about it ... and that seems long gone.
