Bullet Points:
** Politics as Usual - A top aide of New York City mayor Eric Adams has been accused of promising a job to a campaign volunteer in exchange for renovating her kitchen - in a new blow for the Democrat as the FBI probes his campaign fundraising.

Lest We Forget
Sacrifice and Ritual
I don't know whether or not you're following Dr. Jordan Peterson's Series on the Book of Exodus. This is the latest entry. Make of it what you will. To me, it's a study aid.

This is episode one. Right Reason is humble, and rightly so. Idolatry seeks to dethron...
The Thursday Thrill
Where do YOU get your kicks?
It's a post card, Jules...
Bullet Points:
** I'll admit that I like the idea of drafting Leftists into the military. Despite concerns that they'd have no value in some quarters, I disagree. The Navy desperately needs rust chippers for its ships, and Army infantrymen can be issued a Leftist to carry ...
Midweek Review
Bullet Points:
** Is the UK circling the drain? CDR SAL weighs in on the subject.
"I don’t care how much science fiction you get nakid and roll in; wars are won by steel, ungodly amounts of steel." - CDR SAL
"Hope is not a military strategy." - LL (and maybe others)
** Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. I don't know ...
Tuesday
Tarawa Boom Deay on Oahu, 1945
Bullet Points:
** The Woke - I am correct, and you are wrong because I have critical consciousness and you have false consciousness. Because this childlike assertion is nowhere acceptable for modern discourse, an entire list is constructed to prop it up, and mantras are repeated ad nauseam to est...
After Veteran’s Day

Identify the Armor Wheels
Meme of the Day
Bullet Points:
** A portent of global cooling? A coming ice age. Sabertooth Tigers and giant mastodons to follow. We're all going to die. Blame electric cars.
** The Big Three - The financial re...

Consider This
Two million blood cells are born and die with each heartbeat. With roughly 40 trillion cells in the body, there are at least a sextillion chemical reactions occurring every second.
Some things are a lot bigger than us and some things are a...
Random Thoughts
Caption: A Great Shark (was Great White Shark - but that term has been determined to be racist)
From the Mail Bag:
Q - Has a US Navy SEAL, UDT Operator, or Diver ever been eaten by an alligator, crocodile, or shark?
A - I had to look this one up. A crocodile, alligator, or shark has never eaten a Navy SEAL on a mission. The...
Checking in
It's true. The fat kid knows too much.
Bullet Points:
** After Jonny Quest ended, many bad guys became shooting instructors, particularly for the Imperial Storm Troopers.
** Look what happens when you follow the money. Iran’s ruling clergy has increasingly turned to China for economic, political, and technologic...
The Winds of November
'The Little Corporal'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkfebcus_yQ
Bullet Points:
** A-10 Warthog vs. F-35 Fly-Off - redacted information, but at least information. There is no information about downtime between sorties or about cost per sortie. We're $33 trillion in debt, we don't care about cost, do we?
** Let's go Brandon!

The Cornish Goblin Ship
Since the 17th century, the waters off the coast of Cornwall have been visited by a unique type of vessel, the likes of which have never been seen anywhere else in the world. She has been dubbed the goblin ship, and not onyl sails th...
Update
Advances
The IDF has Gaza City off completely. Note the dates on the maps. I don't know if the Palestinians anticipated this reaction. The leadership won't care because the money that sustains them keeps coming in.
Notes:
** And now a brief word from America's premier Grifting Doosh-Rocket, Hunter Biden...

Freaky Friday
Stirring the Cauldron
Frankenstein Day passed on Monday without incident. All Hallows Eve came Tuesday. The official "Days of the Dead" on Wednesday and Thursday. So, where do we go from here? We need a draw Mohammed contest or something in Texas to bring balance to the force. LSP, can you step up and organize it for us? It's been done...
Marching Through Thursday
el Día de los Muertos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOuq6q7p8_s
Happy dead day. It's a two-day holiday that ends today, so if you planned on celebrating and missed yesterday - you can still participate. It is celebrated partially in the USA, but they make a fiesta in Mexico. It's big in Vietnam during the Lunar New Year (Tet) with sim...

Pedo Joe Biden
"I don't work for you."
No of course you don't. But we know who you do work for.
Get Well Soon, General
Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Eric M. Smith experienced a medical emergency on the evening of Oct. 29, 2023, and has been hospitalized. My best wishes for a prompt recovery. No matter what kind of sh...
Happy Halloween
Bullet Points:
** October 31 is a holiday in Nevada (State Day).
** I’m tall when I’m young, I’m short when I’m old, and once a year, I make heavy pumpkins light. What am I? (answer at the bottom of the blog)
** WASHINGTON — The U.S. Defense Department on Friday announced the government is moving forward with developing...
Halloween is Coming
Frankenstein Day
While I think that every day should be Frankenstein Day - it just can't be. There also has to be Taco Tuesday and other key days. Tomorrow Halloween doesn't necessarily preempt Taco Tuesday. You just have to make pumpkin tortillas or something along that line.
Halloween is Coming
I'm not doing anything ...
Sticky Bombs, etc.
Bullet Points:
** The Telegraph reported Israel will use novel sponge bombs as it fights through the network of tunnels under Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces has been testing the chemical bombs, which contain no explosives but are used to seal off gaps or tunnel entrances from which fighters may emerge.
These "sticky spon...
Wingdings
Halloween is Coming
Bullet Points:
** Ship Transfer - (h/t Claudio) This transfer must take into account the fact that the PPAs class are not ASW focused, while FREMMs are. The ItN needs more ASW ships, and selling off PPAs allows to replace them with FREMMs. PPAs are perfect for antipiracy patrol missions, and would work well aga...

Bf 109 - modified
Adolf Galland's Bf 109 is serviced by his crew chief Unteroffizier Meyer, in the photo below. Note the unusual "telescopic" sight fitted to his machine. That was not a telescopic sight projecting through the windscreen but a straightforward telescope that enabled Galland to identify friends from foes at a greater rang...
