Even the most green recruits get drilled on the first general order of the US Army: I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved. And in case that doesn’t get followed, the Army has a third general order: I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and […]
Joe Biden’s campaign stop in Charleston, South Carolina didn’t go entirely according to plan. While Uncle Joe showed up prepared to lecture people about the evil mega MAGA Republicans and the threat that the Bad Orange Man poses to democracy, many in the audience had other ideas. No sooner had the President been introduced and […]
Philadelphia’s “Welcome Park” sits on the location of William Penn’s home in that city – known as the Slate Roof House. The park is literally named for the vessel that brought the colonial Quaker to the site of what became Philadelphia, the good ship Welcome. Penn, as hopefully most people know, would go on to […]
You may have already seen this video clip of a defendant in Las Vegas leaping over a bench to attack the judge who had just denied him probation. The entire video is about 5 minutes long and there’s a high-pitched alarm going off for most of it. I found the whole video of the guy […]

Yesterday, we discussed the launch of the United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket to the moon and the objections raised by the Navajo Nation to putting human remains on the lunar surface. Based on the first reports coming back from space, the indigenous people’s concerns may have been for naught because it sounds like the Vulcan’s […]
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) delivered some campaign advice to Joe Biden – stop campaigning on Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021. Move on, Joe.
