Interests include history, esp. the Great War and the years surrounding it. War games of many types. An endless list of things fascinate me, but I have to work for a living, making my daily bread.
So, last night after 9pm the door bell rings.
That's very late for someone who wakes up at 2:30am on most days.
Turned out to be a very confused Amazon contractor trying to deliver somebody's wine.
But you know where my mind went?

Now that the Dark Months are here, I commit to addressing my
Shelf of Shame!!!
I realized I have 4 different Great Battles of History games by GMT that I have yet to master.
Just sitting there, gathering dust,
mocking me...

Listening to the Heritage Foundation defending insufferable Tucker's interview of the slimy weasel Nicky Fuentes. Rarely have I wanted to scream aloud in my bedroom. But to listen to the man claim his Christianity as a defense of racism, hatred and bigotry was beyond my ability to cringe.
omdfgjhc!

Well, it's no Komsomolets armored tractor, but it does look pretty cool!

So, Dick Cheney is finally dead. Why did it take so long?
I guess we just take the wins we get, when we get them.
In other news, I understand the Kirk Memorial is going to be christened soon:

Anybody else think Glengarry GlenRoss is the best depiction of capitalism ever made?
October 29, 2025 at 2:07 AM
Did I hear that right?
Antifa recruiting?
$5000 signing bonus?
$200 per protest?

Somebody owes me a bunch of money!

I'm no snitch, but the folks over at Kill James Bond podcast (Abi, Nova and Dev) have been covering (in great detail) heist movies this season...
Curious, non?
November?
Abigail?
Devon?
Your silence has been deafening.

I had so much fun today at No Kings in Bothell, WA! Everybody I met was happy and positive. I recharged my Optimism Tank.

Now we need to organize locally: friends, family, work. There's a ton of work yet to do before MAGA is just a foul memory.

Let's get to work!

About to head out to the local No Kings demo.
And very grateful I live in the great state of Washington, where I don't have to be afraid of getting gassed or beaten by Gestapo stormtroopers.
Be safe, comrades, and give 'em hell, wherever you protest today!

I hate being unoriginal.
Some folks thought this long before I did. But you have to admit, the similarities are a bit chilling.
We called Reagan Grandpa Caligula, too. (Much more fitting than Ronny RayGun)

In 2025, in the United States, in this timeline, an inflatable Froggy is my hero.

So...
FDA inspectors, air traffic controllers, other REAL, useful government employees will NOT get paid?

while
Brownshirts, Amerikkkan Gestapo stormtroopers who kidnap people, rip apart families and make the country hell...
Do get paid?
Do I have that right?

He was once a little green slab of clay.
But you should see what Gumby can do today:
He can walk into any book
(With his pony pal Pokey, too).
If you have a heart, then Gumby's a part of you.

So...
it seems to me the military Kegbreath wants is a cross between video game COD:SpecOps Tom Clancy Super Operators and the current Russian military.
The first are cartoons and the second are terrible.
Who confirmed him as SecDef? How many Dems?

This is why you CANNOT appease MAGA.

Can you imagine waking up each day to an agenda of bootlicking, ass kissing, excuse making and self-justification? I mean, all day, every day?
He may be the most craven, vapid, self-righteous pol since Vidkun Quisling and Hermann Goring.

Much speculation on Lil' Stevie Miller's influence on #PedoDon
I think we can agree that #PedoDon is not the sharpest crayon in the box. But are we talking "Weekend at Bernie's" ? Or "Ratatouille"?

Can someone please tell me why US troops are marching into Portland?
And can somebody check if POTUS is under the influence of : a) hallucinogens or
b) a gas leak
c) syphilitic dementia
d) Alzheimers

Anybody else expecting this of Petey Hogsbreath's "Gathering of the Generals" (and admirals)?

I can just see him telling them they will need to swear eternal loyalty to Trump. And I bet that oath will have been written by Stevie "Lil' Nosferatu" Miller.

So among the dozens of wars ended by Glorious Leader, he finally brought peace in the Azerbaijan-Albania Conflict...

Not sure how that would work, exactly. Where would the combat occur?

Well, the facts don't matter as long as Baku and Tirana are friends again.

And Glorious Leader gets his Prize.
