Sad news, friends. CDR Richard Gragg, USN-Ret., ended his gallant fight against cancer yesterday. His battle was tough and long. His was the second name posted on the Naval Intelligence Professionals Binnacle list in 2016. Rich was a shipmate from USS Midway days. A bit more about that shortly. He had a successful career in […]

Yeah, I know. It is all getting hard to take. I intend to vote next week and get that irritating issue off the table. The rumble of the daily outrage will continue, of course, in a manner someone has orchestrated for timing. It is fun to deconstruct the various narratives. There will be the colossal […]

I got up this morning, a little before sunrise. It was like that, I recalled. A little cloudier this morning, that other morning it was clear as a bell, “ceiling and visibility unlimited.” CAVU was the aviation term, and the stars were bright in the still-dark heavens. I needed something from my locker at the […]

We emerged from the alleged Labor Day holiday weekend with a lot of people not working. Well, it was a holiday, but you know how things go these days. We have touched before on the curious state of play in the information operations campaign. Normally, these things are conducted sub rosa and rarely talked about […]

(Registrar Jim Clements processing my 2018 application for absentee in-person early voting in Culpeper). I am one of those irreconcilable voters. Speaker Pelosi termed us “enemies of the state” in one of her recent public declarations about the state of things. Apparently it was in between trips to the beauty salon prohibited to the rest […]

You probably saw it- the elected bureaucrats in your Nation’s Capital have produced a list of things we should be looking to change. It is a virtuous list. You know, that irritating statue of Mr. Jefferson in his oppressive marble dome down by the water, the ever-unsettling variety of things tabbed with the name or […]

Everyone in our personal movie knew this was not going to be a great day. This was one that happened in the first year of the administration before this one. Times were interesting, what with the economic collapse of the housing market, and challenges confronting me on the fancy car I drove to enhance my […]

The election is bearing down, and today’s media is leading us into it. Cleaning out old files, I found something long forgotten about how it worked. It was a sheaf of notes nineteen years old. It was stunning, reading about how this current reality was formed. The wounds of 9/11 were still raw and everyone […]

Marlow’s Note: Whenever America’s leaders point to what it values or way of life as being be threatened or directly attached, we can count on our working white Americans to go off in a homicidal swarm to “defend our way of life.” This is not just for cases of kinetic warfare. It’s a proven theorem […]

Editor’s Note: Want the cartoon version? Several pals have been batting that around. It goes something like this for likelihood. Mr. Biden will do the best his handlers can manage. I have tried to mange the affairs of people who had varieties of progressive cognitive decline. This campaign incorporates many aspects of it. So, first […]
