A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month. Today is Armistice Day, Veterans Day, and Remembrance Day. Almost 100 million dead in the Wars of the 20th and 21st centuries-an astounding number. “Either war is finished-or we are.“ I do understand the difference between Veteran’s Day and

I’ll have several posts up this week commenting on the election and its implications. Celebrating this weekend was awesome – I can’t tell you how much of a weight has been lifted by knowing that the Orange Monster lost the election. (Despite his protestations, this is not 2000, and Trump

The mission of this Allied Force was accomplished at 11:25 EST, 07 November 2020. It’s been four LONG years. Years of misery and anger. Years of astonishment watching the norms of American society attacked again and again. Watching worthless slime, like Adolf Eichmann Stephen Miller, commit atrocities and crimes against

So. It’s 2020 and another election cycle. That means it’s time once again to comment on yet another Nancy Mace political campaign. It’s now been ten years that she has been either running for office or scheming to run for office, and she still has placed herself on the side

A worthless man, you know very little about, achieved his long-stated goal of destroying the United States tonight. That man is Leonard Leo, former head of the Federalist Society: Leonard Leo is on the brink of achieving the goal he has been working toward for decades: a lasting conservative supermajority on the

As was my early custom, I am reposting this post that I first wrote in 2005. Given the current state of events in both the US and the current administration’s stated willingness to sacrifice American lives for their own vanity – it’s a very appropriate commentary on 2020. Background: “The

A follow up to my post from yesterday on the Navy’s incredibly hellish OPTEMPO. An article appeared on the US Naval Institute Web site by a LTJG who is currently “living the dream” that is the Navy’s nightmare deployment schedule. I know a person who knows him and describes him
