Age before Beauty

  Today is the first game of the World Series. I like major league baseball and enjoyed watching the Arizona Diamondbacks with the National League Pennant. Now, we will see how they do against the Texas Rangers. The Philadelphia Phillies and the LA Dodgers, before them, underestimated Arizona.   Bullet Points: ** BREAKING: All...

So Much For Subtlety

         Bullet Points: ** 60 may be the new 40, but the $100 bill is the new $20. ** The only people who become politicians are those who are least suited to the job.

Fever Dream

54
  Not quite a Sermonette. Just because humans discovered something, like math, doesn't mean they invented its objective reality. Belief in such an objective existence independent of the minds of men leads one to be able to "feel that they are merely explorers in a world that lies far beyond themselves--a world which possesses an objectiv...

The Chinese Fire Drill…

32
    No Longer Politically Incorrect! Chinese medical professionals are conducting a fire drill (above), so yes, it is done. I don't know if this was in concert with one of Mike_C's clinical trials, but apparently, they are referenced by PhDs all the time.   https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/17154654108568416...

Go for Broke

  PaulM's Stern Warning   In Gaza I have tuned into Fox News from time to time and I'm afraid that I like I sound like the old man shouting for the kids to get off his lawn as I scold the television before turning it off. At least 50% of what they put out is complete propaganda bullshit. You can sift the other 50% to g...

A Few Thoughts

36
  Quite A Change in the Pacific (American Thinker) You wouldn't want to be a leftist, waking up to the morning's election results in either Australia or New Zealand. Both countries' voters repudiated them and their agendas with pounding mercilessness. CNN used the word 'punish' in its headline: New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkin...

Sunday’s Lesson

    US Congress, Unmasked (h/t Frank)   Did the Los Angeles Dodgers' act of honoring Satanic Drag Nuns lead to their defeat at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks? I'm only asking the question. It's the Sunday Sermonette if you want it to be. My daughters and their husbands (3 of 4 sets - one set is a Red...

I'm just touching base... Are you ready for the weekend? It doesn't matter.     Bullet Points: ** A note to Pedo Joe's Regime - You don't get to sink the ship and then brag about how many lifeboats you filled. ** The P-47 - Republic used turbochargers to give the P-47 extra boost at higher altitudes, above 20,000 ft, where...

The Hammer

    This Day in History (Mark Tapson) By 732, the fallen Roman empire had devolved into a patchwork of warring barbarian tribes across what is now continental Europe. When Abd-al-Rahman al-Ghafiki, the governor of al-Andalus, crossed the Pyrenees with the world’s most successful fighting force and began pillaging through the sout...

Pushing Forward

23
  The New War Just about the same as the old war... Everyone is throwing their cracker in the soup where the new conflict between Israel and Hamas is concerned. They're all smarter than I am. Given that, I will point out a few things and move on. First, the funding situation changed when Saudi Arabia recognized Israel. In a larger...

  Happy 248th Birthday, US Navy Obviously (or maybe not so obvious), I wasn't there at the Navy's founding...that's for my kids, who think I might have been. I enjoyed my service in a time quite unlike the present one. People have asked if I would do it again. Again, then, but not today. The same is true for much of what I've done for...
