Arguing with a leftist

Sadly typical of leftists stalking conservative sites looking for an argument. A commenter calling himself 'Biden_Derangement_Syndrome' started out accusing me based on nothing. Then he started making threats that had no substance. Lots of lies, of course. Not the first time I have had words with leftists. The original link to an Instapundit page is …

Stupid Nuclear Negotiation Proposals

I have been reading a lot about 'nuclear sharing', the US provision of nuclear weapons to some NATO allies. The allies train to use the weapons, and could be ordered by NATO to use them in a war if the US President allowed it. Until then, the weapons are at bases in Europe, under US …

When the Assassins came to School

This is a story about a hockey game. The setting is a college in Michigan, where an international exhibition game took place in the 1980s. I'll get back to hockey later, though. First some background. An officer defected from the Soviet Army. He had served in military intelligence, and was an expert on all aspects …

Me and COVID-19 and vaccine

Here is a collection of my posts on Gab from my very mild bout with COVID-19 (but see the last post). Saved here for convenience, with the replies. Edited to add my wife's vaccine story. March 25, 2021, 20:14. My COVID saga so far: wife started showing symptoms March 12. We have made no effort …

Sharing and Proliferation

Picture a future period where the Russian threat and the threats of terrorism and rogue states have all receded, due to the skillful strategic maneuvering of a US president. Like Eisenhower, this president's maneuvers are far enough from the eyes of the media that he gets little credit for his wise and bold actions. Thus, …

Calexit: Under Consideration

I sketched an outline of the coming California secession and followed up with a look at the forces involved.  It was all just some ranting from some crazed, conservative, diminutive carnivore.  A right-wing, paranoid weasel who claims he can predict the future. Sure, that's all it was.  So don't worry about a group of Democrat …

Advice for Women in Management

Update below Why am I, a weasel, and a male one at that, giving advice to women in management roles?  Because I have something to say. I have had good managers and bad ones, but the ones who struck me as the worst were female.  It doesn't have to be that way.  Ladies, if you …

Nuclear Drama

There is nuclear drama.  Not the kind of drama where weapons are seconds from being launched.  Nothing quite that dramatic.  But there is political drama in the world of nuclear weapons. First up, W93.  Very dramatic.  What's a W93, you ask?  Nothing yet, but when the design is done, it will be a 'new' submarine-launched …

Dating and Stupidity

I am going to talk in broad terms about men and women.  What I am saying here does not apply perfectly to every man or every woman.  That's not the point.  It applies well enough, to enough men and enough women, that it's useful for analysis.  Now that I have stated this, I'm not going …

Space Force, Part 11: It begins

It took a holiday to give me the time I needed to catch up on Space Force news.  I have had browser tabs sitting open for months, waiting for me to write something about the articles. [EDIT: added] Opinion on why we need a Space Force, from way back in June 2018, by Doug Loverro, …
