My better angels are asking for crew-served weapons.

Interested in USMC 1866-1917, War of 1812 on Niagara River & Great Lakes.

And cats. Talking cats.

Never forget Bill Kristol and friends talking about invading Iraq as the next challenge, as if it were a contender we couldn't avoid for a heavyweight boxing title we needed in order to secure peace and happiness for all.
Bill Kristol certainly knows how easy it is to recover and support robust democracy "once people get over the shock [and awe]."

If you wonder whether this protracted bedwetting over whether Biden should stay in or not is largely to Republicans' advantage, take note of how contentedly they're just sitting aside and letting Democrats fight it out in the open.

Democrats in the U.S.? Take note…
When you find common ground with people with whom you agree some of the time but not all of the time, you can prevent people with whom you agree none of the time from taking power. The left and the center have far more in common than either wants to admit.

Love a streaming radio service that cannot tell you the name of the song currently playing. And has an app page looking like it was designed in 2014. #WBFO #NPR

I understand right-wing French justices have begun flying the French tricolor, upside-down in protest of the election results.

Military images of Harry Truman post-WWI are few. This one shows him as commander of 379th Field Artillery Regiment in the mid-30’s. Truman’s performance in WWI had garnered him an offer of a regular commission, which he turned down because Bess didn’t want to be an army wife.

it's worth noting, perhaps, that a lot of the "french elections defy predictions!" coverage is written by people/outlets who made the predictions
this is true of many things, not just politics, but often people in this position are better at writing/talking about a thing than they are actually understanding it. your halftime analysis is designed to keep the audience, not necessarily inform them

Dinner was potatoes, onions, and kielbasa on the griddle. Served with stone ground mustard and a side of sauerkraut.

My lovely husband made French 75’s for our evening cocktail. Can’t imagine why. Anyway, they were refreshing & empowering, and certainly packed a wallop. (He mentioned something about fashy tears as the secret ingredient.)

I can't be the only person who is massively confused by commentary on the RN in France. Keep wondering what the feck the Royal Navy think they're playing at.
