Just some random thoughts from the day.
The borderline imbecile mayor of Chicago has announced that anyone from Wisconsin that comes to Chicago or anyone from Chicago that visits Wisconsin must be self-quarantined for 14 days. How this dimwit plans to enforce this is totally unstated, but is basically impossible. All it does is reinforce the view that there is nothing between her ears but vacuum.
I see that the baseball players are now kneeling and in other ways showing disrespect to th

The Babylon Bee has a post today on people fleeing Chicago for safer places like the Middle East. The satire is in fleeing to the Middle East, the fleeing Chicago is not satire. Actually, fleeing Illinois is not satire, but a straightforward fact. Illinois, and Chicago, are loosing people in droves, in greater numbers than any other state in the country. I will concede that some of it is retirees heading south to warmer winter weather, as the winters can be nasty. A lot more is simply peop

Battle Hymn of the Republic

I just watched the U.S. Army Field Band play and sing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". and yes it brought tears to my eyes. It always does that, just like watching the Victory at Sea episode covering Pearl Harbor, where I finally have been. Julia Howe wrote the lyrics after seeing a review of the Army of the Potomac in November of 1861. Not all of the verses are sung nowadays, but all are worth reading. George McClellan was a great organizer, I will concede that, but a failure as a battle

Well, I must admit I would be interested in knowing what the moderators reactions would be to my posting all of the details on setting up a chemical weapons service can be found at the Combined Arms Research Library Digital Library. Between the stuff from World War One which you can find in the General Military History section, 1900 to 1939, and the World War 2 Operational Documents, there is everything that you need. That just from US documents. When you add in the enemy stuff, you really h

Still Here So Far

Well, I will have to see how much longer I am permitted to be here. Disagreeing with a moderator normally results in banning, justly or unjustly. So just waiting.
Still here, but it appears that I definitely got under the skins of a couple of our moderators. Always nice to know that all Marc does is write checks for the site payments, while the others do what they wish.

Again a lot to think about, aside from the idiocy being blathered about by the so-called "main stream media" or more properly called, the marketing arm of the Democratic Extremists. Illinois junior senator managed to embarrass herself and the state by complaining about Mt. Rushmore being "stolen" from the Sioux, who had stolen it from someone else. Some one needs to educate her that by her standards, all of Illinois was "stolen" from the Sauk, Fox, and Potowatomi tribes, so is she interested

There is a lot going on there days. Between anarchists and other insane people puling down statues, and even burning one of an ELK in Portland, it is hard to follow all of the insanity. I guess the ones that burned the Elk down had a strong dislike towards herbivores competing with them for greenery. Then there was the one to Albert Pike, who commanded a force of Indians from the then Indian Territory who were fighting for the Confederates. It would be interesting to bring up the fact that

Statue Insanity and Projects

Well, in some areas, 1984 is rapidly approaching, with the systematic attack on any and all historical statues which do not meet the standards of the "extremely politically correct" among the near-anarchists currently claiming to be on the forefront of history. I suspect that very few have ever read Orwell, but they certainly are following his sketch for "Big Brother". I fear that when you start tearing down statues of Columbus, Washington, and Jefferson, you have crossed the bar for any symp

The latest battle-cry, or insane scream to be more accurate, from the far-left is to "defund the police", with Minneapolis actually trying to do so. This should be an extremely interesting experiment, best viewed as a distance, preferably from another state not adjacent to Minnesota. The biggest question I have is how long it will take businesses, and residents, to leave the city, never to return. At least on company has already announced it was leaving, but there are likely those who will si

I had hoped to get away from commenting on current events, but they do have a way of intruding on my best intentions. I have been working on Space: 1889 and thinking about having some sort of rift between the Cepheus Engine sector I am working on and the Solar System of Space: 1889. However, back to my not-politically correct views.
Well, the Minneapolis City Council has decided, in its "collective wisdom", to disband the police department and replace it with something else, to be determin
