"SPEECE FERCE"

Image
If I facepalmed any harder, my hand would slap the wall behind me... Trump announces plans for Pentagon to create 'Space Force' If you do not understand why I would have this reaction, then you may not be up to speed on the United States Air Force.  I'm beginning to think Trump played Traveller 2300 in the 1980s. As I am member of the USAF auxiliary, and part of a group that teaches STEM (particularly aerospace education) to youth, I feel Trump's uninformed decision is unnecessary and a waste of money.  We do not need a new "branch". We have a branch that covers this field.  What part of "aerospace" is misunderstood?  Per a partially tongue-in-cheek article on Vox , "If it’s officially created, the Air Force would likely give up all of its space duties to the space force, including preparing for war in space and protecting US satellites from harm."  Sounds legit. Look, Trump, just change the USAF name. Stop wasting tax do...

Nathan Larson: Halfwit Malefactor

The malefactors are scrabbling out of the woodwork as we move closer towards November.  The populace must determine what is best for our nation. Sadly, most just vote a party line.  That's how we end up with people like Nathan Larson on a ballot. Never heard of him?  His " manifesto " seems a friendly read.  He states, "I, Nathan Larson, hereby announce my candidacy as a quasi-neoreactionary libertarian in Virginia's 10th congressional district election, 2018. As Representative, my main agenda will be (1) stopping the war on drugs, (2) protecting gun ownership rights, and (3) putting an end to U.S. involvement in foreign wars arising from our country's alliance with Israel. I will also restore (4) benevolent white supremacy, (5) private borders, (6) patriarchy, (7) freedom of speech, (8) freedom from age restrictions, (9) suicide rights, (10) jury trial rights, (11) discrimination rights, and (12) free trade." People like this should be mandat...

 The term "snowflake" did not originate with the Right.  Coined originally by Chuck Palahniuk in his novel, Fight Club, it gained momentum among the Left, a way of criticizing its own for being too sensitive, too easily outraged and too entitled. 1 There is no realm quite as surreal as the Internet. Rife with safe spaces, trigger warnings, and political correctness, it's any wonder that anyone can express a viewpoint contrary to popular opinion. Expressing oneself plainly often leads to argument-shutdown labels: racist; white supremacist; misogynist; homophobe; Trumpeter; Christian fanatic.... sinner; heathen; bigot; misandrist ; Demoncrap; atheist scum; hater. You will find some of my viewpoints contrary to popular opinion. I do use labels to point out poor behavior . I make no apology for offending you. I express my thoughts freely, attacking the idea or concept behind it. Do not confuse that with attacking the person themselves. I have protested...
