There was a bit too much of this going on this morning not to comment on it. Browsing some of the cable news outlets, I saw several White House officials and guest commentators expressing concerns over the activities of the weekend. Some, including John Kirby, were warning against the possibility that a strong response by […]
Short answer: sort of. Earlier today, I wrote my analysis of Iran’s attack on Israel, suggesting that it was all Kabuki theater, allowing Iran to save face after Israel’s attack on Iran in Damascus. Barring an Israeli strike of some significance against Iran, I stand by that analysis. Allowing a fake attack on Israel was […]
In Tehran, it would seem that the saber-rattling is done and the sabers have been drawn. Iran launched as many as 100 drones and missiles against Israel from multiple points of origin across the region. The good news is that Israel, with the help of U.S. forces and resources, destroyed nearly all of them using […]
I like a good disaster movie. A lot of the science fiction movies I loved as a kid (and still do) were really just disaster movies with aliens in them. Earth vs. the Flying Saucers has some fantastic scenes of Washington, DC being destroyed by the titular flying saucers. This was essentially remade in […]
China has been walking a fine line. On one hand it has been presenting itself publicly as a peacemaker that wants to bring and end to the war in Ukraine. On the other hand it is Russia’s biggest trading partner and is helping Russia evade the consequences of western sanctions. Today we’re learning that, according […]
THERE is a long history of senior officers leaving the armed forces and only then going on the record to state that all is far from well. They seldom explain why they didn’t fix it while they were serving; the few who do generally blame a lack of money – which is to say a lack […]
At least he didn’t drool. Drooling is so undignified, and Joe Biden is all about dignity. BIDEN: “I hope the legacy is that I kept my word that I said the reason I was running was to … reduce the prospect of war because of Vietnam” 😬 pic.twitter.com/sJgIiodtN2 — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 10, 2024 […]
ON THE evening of June 16 1858 at the Republican State Convention in Springfield, Illinois, Abraham Lincoln, having been chosen earlier that day by his fellow Republicans to run for the US Senate against pro-slavery Democrat Stephen A Douglas, delivered what has become known as the ‘House Divided Speech’.

So who won the Reedy Creek War? We can expect all sides to remain cagey about the details while declaring wins, but only one side truly needed this to get set aside in the short run. And that side doesn’t work in Jacksonville. The Associated Press calls this a “settlement” between Disney and Gov. Ron […]
