    Things that annoy me

    The prime minister of Greenland (who even knew they had one?) calling a proposed visit by VD Vance's wife "highly aggressive." These are supposed to be our allies - right?

    Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame is coming to Gettysburg. What could possibly go wrong? LOL. I thought he was still in prison but he will be signing autographs at "Creature Feature." A fun horror themed weekend at the Wyndham in Gettysburg over the March 28th weekend...

    UConn women's basketball team winning a game today by the score of 103-34. I didn't actually see that game but there is no cause to run up the score and humiliate someone in the tournament. I'm sure they put in their scrubs at some point but maybe the coaches should show a bit of sportsmanship...

    "Quisling - The Final Days" - an excellent movie about the arrest, trial and execution of Vidkun Quisling the Nazi collaborator who headed the Norweigan government during WWII. The movie is not for a mass audience but those with some historical background in the subject matter.

    John A. Hemingway, Last Survivor of the Battle of Britain, Dies at 105

    Of course the Germans were the aggressor but it's a myth that the RAF was vastly outnumbered. When you factor in all the tactical advantages of the RAF it was a battle that the Germans had almost no chance to win. The Luftwaffe was not designed to be a strategic air force like that of the US...

    Things that annoy me

    Opening up my homepage every day and seeing a story about Bronny James. I'm assuming this is due to some AI algorithm that knows I'm a Lakers fan but erroneously assumes that I'm fascinated by all things BJ. And by that I mean Bronny James to avoid confusing the AI.

    John A. Hemingway, Last Survivor of the Battle of Britain, Dies at 105

    Those guys were undoubtedly heroes but the myth that they were vastly outnumbered is not accurate. The Luftwaffe was a tactical arm of the Wehrmacht. It was not designed for a strategic bombing campaign and all of the tactical advantages were on the side of the Brits. There was no chance of...

    And they thought there was a lot of bad blood when we played Canada: President Donald Trump supported President Vladimir Putin's idea to organize hockey games between the U.S. and Russia during their phone call on Tuesday, according to a summary released by the Kremlin. According to the...

    The Dodgers are now only 161 wins away from a perfect season! It's great to see such enthusiasm for baseball over in Japan.

    Things that annoy me

    I agree that it is not worth the time and effort to revisit those pardoned. However, I'm still astounded that official government documents that only the president has the authority to act upon are being signed by autopen without even knowing who is affixing the signatures or being able to...

    Things that annoy me

    I made the mistake of listening to the Irish music all day on satellite radio. Granted, a lot is catchy as in "what do you do with a drunken sailor" and the Pogues but man is it depressing. When they talk about the luck of the Irish what they don't tell you is that all their luck is bad luck.

    "The Righteous Gemstones." This show is absolutely hilarious. They could have taken the low woke road and mocked religion, but the show is more about laughing with rather than at organized religion. Walton Goggins steals the show with his over-the-top riffs. I laugh my arse off every time he...

    The outlandish overhype of St. Pat's day. I enjoy drinking beer and watching Leprechaun movies but I don't need a contrived excuse to do that. My wife is in London and I asked her if anyone was celebrating St. Pat's day. She said are you kidding. Americans seem to be the only people to hype...

    It's truly bizarre if the reports of Biden using an autopen to sign official government documents including pardons turns out to be true. Did he even have a clue that someone was affixing his name to all these documents? Maybe so, but maybe not. If the documents were not signed, it does seem...

    You don't want to be put in jail in El Salvador. They chained and frog marched the criminals that we sent down that like they meant business.

    New release: Hitlers berghof!

    Did anyone purchase this? After a recent visit to the actual site, I'm considering it. The CS Reich Chancellery/Hitler's office is fantastic. One of my favorites. I think KC did a similar version. Any opinions on which is better?

    Settling long overdue scores with the Houthis who fired on US warships a number of times. In the good old days, that would have been considered an act of war. At least now they are being held accountable. I'm against endless foreign wars but there are times to use force. And this is...

    GLADIATOR II

    I tried to watch it but haven't made it through the entire movie. I like the action and scenery but there is something off about the plot. The plot reminds me very much of that TV series "Spartacus" including some of the same actors. Felt like a rip off.

    Almost every country in the world imposes tariffs on US goods or places other conditions that make it almost impossible to sell American made goods in those countries. In the meantime, the economies of these countries are largely dependent on selling us their own goods. In addition, the US...
