I like the B-36, I just do.
It's true that I wouldn't have liked to have gone to war in one, but there is something to the size that provided a modicum of strategic comfort during the early days of the Cold War.

Twitter vs. Arizona
Twitter just suspended both official Arizona Audit accounts, for reasons I’m sure have nothing to do with the fact they just proved massive, result-overturning election fraud. They don’t even care how guilty this looks anymore, and the news media will carry the water for them.

I was reading LSP's blog about Rock Apes in SE Asia.
A friend of mine ran into them in Laos, not Vietnam, after the "war" was over, but it wasn't over for a very long time after the paperwork had been signed. He was out with guys from Service de documentation extérieure et de contre-espionnage (Now DGSE). It was his first expo...
JASON
In 2019, the Department of Defense ended a decades-long, open-ended agreement with JASON, a legacy science advisory board.
The Jason program dated back the 1950s, when the Pentagon put together a panel of scientific experts to provide outside advice. The group was created in the aftermath of the Sputnik launch as a way to reinvigorate the ...

There is concern, with ample cause for concern, that Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs will be focused on the American domestic population now that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has openly stated that white Americans are the greatest thr...

Today, VM features recipe ideas for chronically underweight people. When other blogs zig, we zag - can't help it. I call it the Arizona Diet.
BBQ Chicken, Chorizo and Queso Dip
Adding the BBQ chicken to the mix makes it the perfect diet snack. Delicious and nutritious. Eat it right out of the pan, hot, while the chee...
The Plague – Continues
I don't find the current plague to be the least bit amusing. The COVID viruses are the flu. The 2019 variant was the result of gain of function (weaponization) research as we now know for sure. Whether it was accidentally released (my personal theory) or it was deliberately released is up for debate.
The reaction to flu has b...

The Lochaber Axe (Gaëlic: tuagh-chatha) is a type of poleaxe that was used almost exclusively in Scotland. It was usually mounted on a stout staff about five feet in length. It was in the same class of weapons as the halberd, v...

The Lion of the Senate
52 years ago this month, the late Senator Edward Kennedy drunk drove off a bridge with a young woman in his car. He swam to safety and left her overnight to drown. No attempt at rescue was made. He went home and called his team to help him get his story straight.
This was publicly known at the time, as he did this on ...

Fast Food
Most places that I've seen are starting at $16/hr, but some places are offering $18/hr. and it begs the question of raising wages across the board if people are paying $18/hr to turn hamburgers and fry potatoes. Fast-food workers claim to deserve the bump. ...

Housekeeping
On Sunday morning, we had a cloudburst at the White Wolf Mine. There is no way to tell for sure, but something around three or four inches of rain in half an hour. It resulted in the gravel from the driveway migrating to the concrete apron, blocking the drainage channels (covered with steel grates), and pushing 2-3" of...
