Hey, kids, why should L.A. have all the fun?
If your idea of “fun” is having Cadet Bonespurs go all Rolling Thunder on you for having an overly noisy barbecue, that is.(Sorry, Waymo.)
“Let a hundred Stooges bloom!” as our Dear Wiseguy, Chairman Moe, has taught us. While that fat toddler plays with his (our!) Army men in DeeCee this Saturday, there will be a No Kings rally in The Duck! City. And judging by the map of scheduled events there is probably one in your neck of the peckerwoods, too.
No torches, no pitchforks — just a nationwide woo woo woo woo woo. A virtual finger-poke in that toddler’s piggy little eyes.
If he tries to get tough we’ll break out the big guns: The Groucho Marxists.
And remember, kids — when you’re smashing the State, keep a smile on your lips and a song in your heart:
Hello … you must be going. You cannot stay, I came to say, you must be going. It was a shame you ever came, you best be going. …

We have one here too.
One in Fanta Se, of course. I’ll report back. Meanwhile, President Bonespurs is turning the military leadership into farce. For a serious review, see Tom Nichols piece in The Atlantic. Or this.
Tom throws the raw meat on the floor, as per usual. The careerists at the top of the armed-forces ladder seem to have forgotten their basic training.
And another sixties icon checks out.
Jaysis wept. Leave it to Your Humble Narrator to be cracking surf/serf jokes while Brian Wilson sails west. For some reason I’ve had his music in my head for days.
Hmmm…I fear a Kent State is brewing. Given some of the miscreants the US Military is signing up these days one has to worry. And let’s not forget Kyle Rittenhouse types either. So tRump wants to be king eh? There is room for him in the swanky Valley of the Kings tomb in Egypt and it’s climate controlled too. He could work his grift on King Tut and get his grubby hands on the loot. The treasures in King Tut’s tomb are estimated to be worth $750 million to $1 billion. Right up his alley.
Every corporal in every branch knows that if he lets loose a few stray rounds, Napoleon Bone-Aspur is going to pardon him before the MPs can find their cuffs.
I worry most about the bubble-off-plumb types who want to “help” the cops or start the Revolution without delay. A stray round from some Keyboard Kommando and/or a Molotov cocktail from a Black Bloc-head and we’re dancing to a whole new tune.
I’m waiting/hoping for a bit of Tiananmen Square type action at the “Birthday Parade”. I suspect since I’ve seen reports of the whole route being fenced, they are trying to stop something like that.
Right, should look very Red Squareish. Nothing says “freedom” like miles of fencing and tanks and citizens wearing zip-tie bracelets.
We’re in for the York Pee-Ay event. I have a sign that I repaint with the new slogans each time. Two sided. This time it’s “No Kings!” and “8647”. Deep Red PA-10 had 500 people last time. Hoping to up the numbers a lot this time. Also breaking out the big guns in Davenport in the shape of my mother. 94 and quit using her filter years ago.
We had an excellent turnout for the Hands Off! rally here. I was pleasantly surprised. And good on your mom! I couldn’t get mine to turn out for a rally or march even when Tricky Dicky wanted to send me to the jungle. Maybe she wasn’t opposed to the idea. …
This cracked me up …
President Donald Trump appeared to get a little confused on Tuesday as he attempted to lob an insult at his predecessor during a speech at Fort Bragg.
“I’ve known this guy for a long time,” Trump said of former President Joe Biden. “He was never the sharpest bulb.”
And no one ever accused Groper Cleveland of being the sharpest sandwich in the bell tower.
Speaking of Bragg … … named after a WWII vet whose highest award was the Silver Star … meaning there are about 10,000 more deserving soldiers in the history books, but none who happened to be named Bragg
In other news, Fort Lee now has a plaque at the front gate saying it was named after Lee Majors, famed astronaut and husband of one of Charlie’s Angels. Other accomplishments include being the inspiration for Midnight Train To Georgia.
Cue “And the Pips.”
This was a great podcast, but at some point they swapped servers and the files in the iTunes library went pear-shaped. Many of the episodes are still on the FT.com website, but I think it’s hit or miss if you’re looking for a particular one.

And now for a word from someone else.
