Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve been in continuous domestic goddess mode since 6:30 a.m. That’s a ten-hour day of domestic goddess-hood. My house sparkles, my refrigerator is full, my closets bulge with clean laundry, my bills are paid, my correspondence (most of it) put in the “done” file and, except for the fact that
Continue readingA friend emailed me a comment: Bill Clinton just said in an interview that America has proven we can’t win a land war in Iraq. Too bad he omitted: “Because we won’t let our military win it.” I agree with my friend, and I want to examine a little further what
Continue readingConservatives have noticed that the Pentagon is firing officers left and right, with many leaving under an embarrassing cloud. The question they ask — and I don’t know that anyone has an answer — is whether these firings are the legitimate and appropriate housecleaning that a sclerotic bureaucracy needs or
Continue readingDavid Burge (aka Iowahawk) reduces the insanity at Fort Hood to a mere 22 perfect and pithy words. (Hat tip: Caped Crusader.) Imagine, if you will, that what happens at one of these bases isn’t one crazed gunman or disaffected Islamist but is, instead, a sustained, surprise paramilitary attack. Will
Continue readingWhew! I was quite productive today. I think those iron pills I’ve been taking because of mild anemia have helped. I felt much less sluggish. I still have a lot of stuff in my inbox, but these articles are a good start: The always-astute Lee Smith has a surprising take
Continue readingIn America, it used to be that boys were boys and girls were girls, except for a handful of boys and girls who didn’t conform to the norm. Boys were at the top of the heap; girls had a carefully carved out, limited sphere of influence and opportunities; and sexually
Continue readingI cannot vouch for the following email’s veracity. That is, I do not know whether it’s true that there’s rising distress in the military about the Obama administration or whether it’s true that troops and veterans are beginning to share political information amongst themselves directed at clipping Obama’s wings in
Continue readingA friend tipped me off to a Facebook post that’s gone viral. Practically within minutes of learning that, while Congress was doing nothing to stem the millions of dollars heading to illegal aliens, it would cut veterans’ benefits, Chuck Wooten, Chief Master Sargeant, USAF (ret.), got a fundraising letter from
Continue readingWe’ve become a profoundly un-serious nation. It’s one thing to be lighthearted; it’s another thing to be lacking in any ballast. The world burns around us, and we pander to GLAAD’s manufactured outrage.
Continue readingI appreciate that the Marines are saying that a uniform look works better with uniform hair. I do not understand, though, why women are still allowed to have long hair — at least women who serve anywhere near front lines: AmericaNowNews.com
Continue readingAs far as the Left is concerned, Pajama Boy — the ultimate androgynous metrosexual — represents a significant majority of young people. Certainly that’s where the White House is betting its money. As Rush Limbaugh said, they wouldn’t have put together an ad campaign aimed at 1,00o or 2,000 people.
Continue readingThe new budget cuts pensions for vets, including those who were wounded while serving this country, while continuing unchecked the flow of money to illegal aliens. We’re not shocked, because we’ve learned that, no matter how low our government goes, give it a day and it can go even lower.
Continue readingDo you remember how, during the Bush years, Democrats and Progressives wept every night for those poor American troops being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan? Those tears are dried now that Obama is in the White House, but the troops are still dying — and worse, they are dying in
Continue readingToday actually is Veteran’s Day, which was cemented on the calendar to commemorate the end of World War I in 1918: The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. With our reverence for three-day weekends, we too often forget that holidays used to be celebrated on a
Continue readingSadie sent me a link to an article that’s been discussed in a couple of email groups to which I belong. It’s entitled “Obama’s curious purge of the military continues.” She wondered if I’d heard any military feedback on this noticeable trend. One of my email groups includes two retired
