America’s Autopsy (Part Two)

Posted on November 15, 2012 by Mike

(I originally titled this essay “America’s Antidote: High Value Targeting” but decided the odds of garnering the support for types of efforts (non-lethal) required by a majority of the population to take back America are extremely slim) The day after … Continue reading →

Posted on November 11, 2012 by Mike

Three months after the 2008 Obama victory I was driving to work at Ft. Huachuca, AZ.  I was driving down Brainard Drive alongside the runway enjoying the crisp, winter morning sunrise when I felt this almost overwhelming nausea in my stomach.  … Continue reading →

Benghazi NEO, Military….Quo Vadis?

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Mike

Just as the pentagon has contingency operations plans (COPs) for invading every country in the world (announced publicly by SecDef Rumsfeld), every State Department residence abroad is required to complete a Non-Combatant Evacuation  Operation (NEO) packet for situations exactly like … Continue reading →

Posted on October 30, 2012 by Mike

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with two notable Sierra Vista residents.  I looked them up in the phone book after reading one of their articles in the local paper.  Bill and Nancy Goldcamp are both retired from the … Continue reading →

Cochise County Sheriff – The Big Difference

Posted on October 28, 2012 by Mike

I’ve met both candidates for Sheriff.  In my opinion one is much more personable than the other. I couldn’t put my finger on it until I read one’s  bio.  He was a military policeman. It’s an axiom among municipal LE … Continue reading →

Glenn, Rush, Original Sources and the GOP

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Mike

I’ve noticed a pattern between the two iconic, conservative political commentators.  Neither have the life experience to make them experts in politics – or life- or to convince me they earned their conservative credentials by character-building.  However, I am grateful they have … Continue reading →

“Radios…….” my ASS!

Posted on October 21, 2012 by Mike

Folks, please forgive my vocabulary.  I have two excuses for using profanity: 1. In my background, profanity was often the most articulate, efficient method of communicating an idea to an often concept- challenged listener; 2. Long ago in days of old when knights … Continue reading →

A “Senior” Moment

Posted on October 20, 2012 by Mike

I’ve often bemoaned the fact that my children were not brought up viewing the same movies I was.  This may seem a trivial complaint  but further introspection makes me believe there was more lost than simple entertainment.  I’m 61 years … Continue reading →

Border Patrol “Friendly Fire” RUMINT

Posted on October 18, 2012 by Mike

I’m still bothered by the “Friendly Fire” death of BPA Ivie.  It’s gnawing on my brain.  I wrote my armchair analysis of the incident in a previous blog characterized as “…more Benghazi BS”.   In the fascinating world of intelligence (I’m serious!) there are … Continue reading →

“Friendly Fire” Agent’s Death is More Benghazi BS

Posted on October 15, 2012 by Mike

The FBI’s historically high reputation for impeccable integrity has been repeatedly besmirched in the last few decades.  Since the death of J. Edgar Hoover the Bureau has never regained that level of public trust.  First it was the FBI cover-up … Continue reading →

Self Defense

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Mike

I just read an article reporting the liberal bastards trying to socialize our country have been clued in on the fact our military personnel are being trained in self-defense.  OMG! They are “clamoring” for it to be abolished – obviously … Continue reading →

America’s King George, III

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Mike

I was “pearl diving”  the sale rack at Hastings for cheap, good books a week ago and found another treasure: “Best Little Stories From the American Revolution” by C. Brian Kelly and Ingrid Smyer.  I’m always a little leery dealing with … Continue reading →

Arrows For Your Quiver

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Mike

I don’t subscribe to the local paper.  I quit getting it when I noticed a “progressive” bent to the publication.  Instead, about once a week I go to the  Ft. Huachuca library to say hello to my good friends working there … Continue reading →

Islamic Symbolism

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Mike

I ran across a quote by Winston Churchill regarding Islam: “Islam is as deadly to man as rabies is to a dog”. One of my favorite anecdotal quotes from Churchill was allegedly uttered to a young socialite beauty at dinner … Continue reading →

The Most Important Unread Book In America

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Mike

The TV program “Law & Order” (which I used to watch constantly) and other TV media portray the “anti-war” demonstrators of the ’60s as conscientious objectors to an “immoral war”; concerned for the “murder” of thousands of U.S. servicemen and “millions” … Continue reading →

“Occupied America” – A Gringo’s Analysis of Chicano “Studies”

Posted on August 17, 2012 by Mike

Believe it or not “Occupied America: A History of Chicanos” is the title of the “mostly widely used Chicano studies textbook in America”.  God help us if it is.  I bought the book from the discount rack at Hastings book … Continue reading →

Obama: The First Illegal President

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Mike

Fifty years from now, or whenever “Barry’s” college transcripts are finally released and he is discovered to officially be the dope-smoking, ignorant, Leftist politically annointed, U.S. citizen poser he really is attending college as a foreign student, there will be … Continue reading →

Obama: Ceasar’s Narcissism

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Mike

It is a rare person who does not become proud and haughty when assuming high office, positions of popularity or authority.  I remember reading an LA Times article back in the late ’70s comparing the narcissm of politicians and movie … Continue reading →

Obama: American Arafat

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Mike

President Obama and the deceased (it took long enough!) former leader of the Palestinean Liberation Organization (PLO) Yassar Arafat share eerily similar political personnas. Prior to the United Nations legitimizing Arafat and the PLO they were responsible for many of the … Continue reading →
