North Korea has sent some athletes to participate with South Korean athletes in a combined team.

This shameful proposal should have been rejected by the South Koreans, and should not be celebrated by anybody, least of all Americans.

Do you know the horrors of the North Korean slave state? The torture and frankly, genocide? Kim Jong Un, his foul family, and his political cronies may all be North Korean, but genocide it is — like the Khmer Rouge.

I do not want to be friends with Kim Jong Un, neither with a successor state, nor with anybody who will become friends with the unspeakable horror from beyond the 38th parallel.

I want Kim Jong Un dead, killed before, during, or after regime change. The exact sequence is a … Continue reading →

I won’t make the call this Wednesday evening.  I’m working my butt off, loving the new job, busy as all heck.  At the edge of failure comes great exhilaration.  Except I got this.  I just can’t lose.  But time is short for the next couple of weeks.

I am graduating to full admin weenie.  It doesn’t get much better than a challenging, interesting job that matters, with good and intelligent people, where the pay is not bad and the commute is short.

But it will cost me a phone call or two.  I’ll sneak in if I can.  But don’t hold your breath.

And let me know if you all change the schedule :-)

I’m all for the shutdown. Yes, it messes things up. My next two weeks just got a whole lot busier. But the shutdown fights are the only tool to get an increasingly treacherous foreign-owned Democrat party on the record. They will fund nothing if they do not get their DACA money for illegals.  And it’s not the money that hurts, but the principle.  If we cannot undo the divisive Alinskyite progressive executive orders from the Obama administration under a Trump administration, with both houses in support (“support”), then why do we bother?  So money for illegals it is then! Fine — shut it down.
McConnell should have been up there hellfire and brimstone on the fact that the United States Government has no mandate to provide for … Continue reading →

Who’s to say Immigration is bad?  I certainly approve of immigration.  My paternal grandfather immigrated from (ahem) Norway in 1929, legally.  He most certainly assimilated.  He married an earlier immigrant, a woman of English and Algonquin descent.  He insisted that his children speak flawless English, and would clout my father on the head if his surreptitiously studied Norwegian crept into his native English.  This drove a love of precision in the use of our magnificent language through the generations right down to this day.  My two sisters and I enjoy sharpening up on each other whenever we get together.  My maternal great-great-grandfather immigrated … Continue reading →

Had a great phone call!  Thanks for those who keep the flame burning as BDB collapses in a gout of cinders.

Here is one of several promised links, and this will likely be the most enjoyable.  No wait, that didn’t sound right at all.

More to follow.  posting this from work, since I’m listening to it anyway.  but that’s about all the de minimus use I should squeak out of the session.  See you soon!  More links…

Here is another that I mentioned. One of my favorite thoughtful kooks is Rob Ager.   His film analyses are always interesting.  He’s brilliant, but he’s a nut. Here is some enjoyable nuttiness.

MLH commented on MJBubba‘s excellent post about the UN and Israel that there was a great treatment of the news over on the American Spectator, and boy was she right!  This is a great read; a welcome approach to a gulp of fresh air — at last! — from an American government committed first and finally to the American people.

Trump and Haley warned the anti-American crowd that we would not be lectured to on morality by the likes of Bolivia and Belarus, and that some of those countries are the recipients of American foreign aid — a spigot he would happily cut off if they followed through on their threats of condemnation.

“They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and … Continue reading →

Dime has a new site up.  Not sure how much I’m supposed to say about it, ahem, but it looks like it will be a lot of fun.  If you miss the forum we had here for a while, www.ratburger.org may be exactly what you’re looking for.  In fact, their systemization of posts as longer, shorter, and snippets is one of the things I tried to get done with a forum, but, well… issues.

I’m proud to be on the rolls over there, and I’ll contribute when I can!  Meanwhile, we’ll keep on keepin’ on right here.

Not much to add to this.  The whole case is laid out as a “Gosh, think how it must have looked to Trump when we all shat on him and endorsed his opponent.”  Reasonable enough, if understated.

From the Daily Caller:  He concluded: “So, I think there was a significant downside to those of us who became political in that moment. So, if I could have thought of that, would I have ended up in a different place? I don’t know. But it’s something I didn’t think about.”

I’m grateful to this guy for stating the obvious, as the obvious does not constitute a useful fact — only statements on the record are facts where it really counts.  This is an admission against interest if … Continue reading →

An embarrassing view of the harbor outside Seventh Fleet HQ.

China has a “new” missile boat.  Eighty of them.

Guam still uses the old (and great) Civil Defense logo.
