We vets are hurting, as if we had been punched in the gut. Our disappointment is beyond description. Our brand, the pride, the image and “es-prit de Corps” we had earned on the world stage since 1945 has been shamefully squandered by the deceitful actions taken in Afghanistan by the Biden Administration. Generation after generation serving in our Armed Forces have built on the successes of those before them. So much so, that the image and strength of our military is the sum of the contributions of our active-duty personnel and veterans. So, we have skin in the game.

God bless our veterans!

How far we have fallen!! I joined the Army under the Reagan administration. In basic training and while doing arms training, our rallying cry was "Kill the commie!" When we were in-processing, we sang, "God bless the USA." I don't recognize this country anymore.

Boy am I glad my dad and every other adult from the WWII generation isn't around to see this. A friend of our family( we kids called him uncle) fought in the pacific during WWII. Up until his death, he made a yearly visit to Pearl Harbor. Over forty five years after that attack, he still hated the Japanese. I still see the look on his face when I drove up in a Japanese car.

And once again and again the liberals, democrats and/or commies take a big dump on the military. It's what they do.

First off, thank you for your service. Maj. (Ret) Zeckser, you took the king's shilling voluntarily. From there you do as you're told. You are a professional soldier, whose first duty is to follow orders. Your primary task is to kill people and destroy things in our national interest, not nation build or perform social work. But then, that's not real world these days. The military today is exactly what the "all volunteer army" was supposed to become when proposed post-Vietnam. No more 19-year old cannon fodder draftees. No more complaining about involuntary servitude and interjection into wars. An added attraction for the Left was that there would be families involved, grieving widows surrounded by crying children for the world to see if another war arose like Vietnam. They would make hardhitting propaganda. More tail and less tooth. We have not "built on the successes of those (in the armed forces) before them." The plain truth is we don't fight to victory anymore. We pull our punches. And then we bungle the result. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq (2x), Afghanistan... We fight for democracy, like in Kuwait. Worse, today we have top brass effectively refusing civilian control of our military. We have retired flag officers serving as Secretary of Defense. We have the usual cast of feckless political military leaders, still making careers out of Desert Storm and post-911 heroics, refusing any responsibility for a withdrawal they should have planned and executed. We have whole DOD intel operations working against the people (and even leaders) of the US "for our security". That's today's military.

FTA: "Our brand, the pride, the image and “es-prit de Corps” we had earned on the world stage since 1945 has been shamefully squandered by the deceitful actions taken in Afghanistan by the Biden Administration." It would seem to me that 1945 was the apogee of our military's brand, pride, and esprit de Corps. It has surged up and down since 1945 but has mostly trended downward. Now Biden has it below well below sea level. Our military circa 1945 was certainly in it to win it, and that they did.

Garland on Troubling FBI Announcement

Attorney General Merrick Garland made a stunning announcement about having the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices coordinate with federal, state, and local law enforcement to deal with “threats” of violence against school boards and people working in schools. This immediately prompted cries from critics that Garland was trying to suppress people objecting to pandemic restrictions and CRT — two of the hot button issues that have caused many people to come out and object at school board meetings. While Garland spoke about “threats,” he didn’t identify any threats or concerns which would qualify as federal criminal action requiring such interference in the parents’ rights to express themselves.

Last week, we reported on how the ACLU went full cringe in a tweet they posted where they altered a quote from the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg to eliminate all references to women. To quickly recap, Republicans and even some Democrats ripped the organization to shreds for posting a revised quote from the former Supreme Court associate justice and feminist icon on the one year anniversary of her death, a quote that was specifically about an issue that directly relates to women (abortion). As of this writing, the tweet is still up. Here’s how the ACLU changed a dead woman’s words to make them sound more gender-neutral, erasing women in the process.

But healthcare workers around the state apparently didn’t come up with a similar plan, or if they did, it didn’t work. A similar mandate applying to them is set to go into effect after today and it applies to doctors, nurses, and just about everyone else working at any hospital, nursing home, doctor’s office, or other medical facilities. Given the significant number of frontline healthcare workers who are among the

By an overwhelming majority, the House voted to fund the Israeli Iron Dome today, a defensive system that protects against Palestinian rocket barrages. That vote was necessary as a stand-alone bill because far-left anti-Semites, mostly members of the so-called “squad,” joined forces earlier in the week to strip the funding from the main budget bill. Naturally, those who live to see Israel wiped off the face of the Earth didn’t take it well as scenes of lunacy were presented on the floor. Here’s a taste of that before we get to the weirdest reaction of the day.

Elon Musk mocked President Joe Biden to explain why the president never acknowledged the completion of a historic SpaceX mission over the weekend. “He’s still sleeping,” Musk tweeted regarding Biden’s silence Sunday. On Saturday, SpaceX completed the first-ever civilian mission into outer space, the company announced. The four-person civilian crew orbited Earth on the Dragon spaceship for three days before returning and splashing down safely off the coast of Florida. The Dragon and its crew orbited at a distance of 575 km from Earth, which is more than 150 km further into space than the International Space Station (ISS), SpaceX said.

According to the Associated Press: North Korea says it successfully test fired what it described as newly developed long-range cruise missiles over the weekend, its first known testing activity in months that underscored how it continues to expand its military capabilities amid a stalemate in nuclear negotiations with the United States.

Sometimes you see something related to politics that is just so perfect it has to be shared. A USA Today fact-check that dropped yesterday is one of those things, and keep reading because it’ll become very obvious why in a moment. Daniel Funke, who describes himself as “checking facts + covering misinfo” on Twitter decided to take on those who said that Joe Biden checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the 13 US servicemembers last week. That tragedy occurred at the hands of an ISIS suicide bomber after the Biden administration outsourced security to the Taliban.

While President Joe Biden’s scripted speech on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan left people wondering just who exactly is in charge of things, one thing also made crystal clear today is that the Biden State Department doesn’t have their act together, either. During their daily press briefing, State Dept. spokesman Ned Price, who is already on record as not being the sharpest tool in the shed, proceeded to confirm that the United States was in agreement with the United Nations Security Council’s official statement on Afghanistan which, in part, called on

How much do Americans hate the defund the police movement? Well, you knew it had to be a lot when Democrats like Joe Biden and Jen Psaki tried to claim that the move to defund police was really a Republican thing, despite the evidence of our own eyes and the facts over the past year. But now the Harvard CAPS-Harris poll has put a number on it and it’s pretty big. Let’s just say it’s hard to get a number like this on anything, that’s how much people hate it. Now we can see why the Democrats were so desperate to run away from it, but it’s too late.

Divorce usually isn’t a good idea, and that’s especially true of a nearly 250-year-old continental nation. The notion of a national breakup has long simmered as a fringe argument, but it is increasingly popular in certain precincts of the political right and has gained at least some traction with partisans of both sides. A recent survey by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia found that about 50 percent of Donald Trump voters and 40 percent of Joe Biden voters agreed to some extent with the proposition that the country should split up, with either red or blue states seceding.

New York City officials are phasing out the controversial “Gifted and Talented” program for elementary school students, a massive change aimed at addressing racial disparities in the biggest school system in the country. The entry exam identifying students as “gifted” will be eliminated, officials said Friday. Under the old status quo, about 2,500 incoming kindergarteners per year passed the optional exam, going on to spend their elementary school years in separate classrooms and schools.(Snip)The overhaul of the gifted program comes after years of debate and criticism—much of it focused on the fact that white and Asian students made up around 80% of gifted classes despite representing

President Biden admitted that he personally called a hospital desk on Wednesday night to see what was going on when a friend's wife could not bee seen at a Pennsylvania hospital overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients. Biden said his friend's 'significant other' had fallen ill, with difficulty breathing and a high fever. Biden said his friend called him after he'd rushed her to the hospital, where the emergency room told her she couldn't be seen because 'things were so crowded, so backed up.'

It’s becoming abundantly clear that the events leading up to the insurrection are all part of a cohesive attempt by Donald Trump with assistance from his man at DOJ with outside lawyers like John Eastman, who crafted the memo, to overturn the results of the election.

One of the more bizarre twists in the saga of the COVID pandemic has been doctors growing increasingly frustrated and even angry with patients asking for medical treatment rather than wholesale vaccination. (snip) Some patients take exception to this approach and ask for ivermectin, which is being used outside of the United States to treat early COVID. There is a significantly lower incidence of serious cases of COVID in countries that use ivermectin for early exposures.

Yesterday, there was a school shooting in Texas. Around 9:15 a.m., police in Arlington, TX, got the first call of shots fired at Timberview High School. When officers responded, they found three people wounded and one injured. A 25-year old victim, identified in various reports as a teacher, was hospitalized in “good” condition. A pregnant teacher twisted her ankle trying to get the hell out of Dodge; she was treated at the scene and released. Another victim (whose age I have not been able to determine) was hospitalized and then released. Finally, a 15-year-old is still in the hospital in critical condition.
