Courtesy of Martin van Creveld’s blog, I discovered an article with that title published in 2000. It made me laugh out loud, both for the incongruity of its title (after all, the Marines are known for breaking things and killing people, neither of which requires exceptional sensitivity!) and for its humor. Here’s an excerpt.… Continue reading “Confessions of a Marine Corps sensitivity trainer”

Pre-electoral fraud rears its ugly head in Los Angeles
I read this report with unalloyed skepticism. Los Angeles County reported Monday that over 27% of the signatures submitted on petitions to recall District Attorney George Gascón were invalid — after reporting that less than 1% of mail-in ballots were invalid in the 2020 election. The county reported that it rejected 195,783 of the… Continue reading Pre-electoral fraud rears its ugly head in Los Angeles
Whackadoodle, much? Florida Man strikes again!
I had to laugh at this report. A Florida man has been arrested after he was accused of stealing a pickup truck and driving to a Space Force base to warn the government about extraterrestrial and mythical creatures. Corey Johnson, 29, was arrested Friday at Patrick Space Force Base by local deputies after he… Continue reading Whackadoodle, much? Florida Man strikes again!
The anti-meat propaganda war is dialing up
We’ve discussed on several occasions how the World Economic Forum’s “Build Back Better” initiative includes discouraging the use of meat, instead encouraging us to eat insects and their byproducts. It’s noteworthy that many W.E.F. advocates (take a bow, Bill Gates) are investing in insect processing plants to produce such food . . . and… Continue reading The anti-meat propaganda war is dialing up
I know how he feels!
Another good one from Stephan Pastis. Click the image to be taken to a larger version at the “Pearls Before Swine” Web page. I wonder if it’s related to an ice cream headache? Peter
Heh
I wouldn’t put this past the CDC at all! The CDC and Anthony Fauci have a major new concern. No it is not a Zombie Apocalypse. It is that Americans might no longer be afraid of COVID-19/Coronavirus. As a result something new had to happen. So together using the partnership with CNN and the… Continue reading Heh
If you choose to sow bad seed, don’t complain about the harvest
Oregon is finding that out the hard way. Overdose rates in the state of Oregon rose by 700% after voters in the state approved a ballot measure to decriminalize all hard drugs. Voters in the state of Oregon voted to decriminalize all hard drugs in the pursuit of encouraging those struggling with drug addiction… Continue reading If you choose to sow bad seed, don’t complain about the harvest
So that’s how they do it!
Courtesy of The Silicon Graybeard, we learn where the almond milk we see in the supermarket comes from. Click over to SG’s place for an historic photograph of the first wild almond to be milked, way back in the days of the Wild, Wild West. Savage-lookin’ critter, ain’t it? Peter
What a great idea! Let’s all re-identify our finances!
I had to laugh while reading Howie Carr‘s latest suggestion. I know a guy in Billerica who, like most people, has grown weary of making the monthly mortgage payments on his house for decades. But last week he emailed me some very good news, which may make his life a lot easier. “My home… Continue reading What a great idea! Let’s all re-identify our finances!
A slight miscalculation…
Found on MeWe this morning (I can’t link directly to the post – MeWe doesn’t allow that): Lt. Colonel Robert Maclaren retired from the British Army in 2001 after a long fulfilling career. On the day that he retired he received a letter from the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Defence setting out… Continue reading A slight miscalculation…
