Let me just warn you now. If you are drinking or eating anything as you read this, you might want to stop. This article is disturbing on so many levels, but even more, it is infuriating at the way in which it paints Major Hasan, the alleged mass murderer. This is way [...]

We have been hearing a lot about Afghanistan of late, most of it bad. Finally, a story that will lift your spirits, a tall “tail” that is true. This one is about Sabi, who has been MIA in Afghanistan. She is MIA no longer as this article details, “Digger Dog Found After [...]

The current issue of Time Magazine has Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the cover, and an article by Joe Klein entitled, “The State of Hillary: A Mixed Record On The Job.” On Joe Scarborough the other morning, they discussed this article (major H/T to Bronwyn’s Harbor for the video):

Today is a day of remembrance, a day to lift up those who have served, a day to thank them, and their families, for their service, their sacrifice, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice. To those who have worn the uniform, I am indebted, I am grateful, and I am humbled by your [...]

On the eve of Veteran’s Day, 500 service people have been discharged from the military under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” A policy Campaigner in Chief, Barack Obama, claimed he would end once he became Waffler In Chief. In the first actual interview with the GLBT media The Advocate during the campaign, he said:
I reasonably [...]

We are learning more and more as the days pass since the horrific terrorist attack on Fort Hood this past week- yes, I said it - that’s what it is. What else do you call it when someone plots, plans, and carries out an attack on our soil but terrorism? Was not the [...]

More and more has come out about Nidal Malik Hasan and what appears to be a cold-blooded assassination of 13 people at Fort Hood, 12 military, one civilian, and 28 wounded. The biggest piece of news for me this morning was finding out that Hasan was still alive, and one of the wounded. [...]

That’s the headline I saw Monday morning at AOL . Of course my response was, “Whaaa” For real?? How fortuitous since General McChrystal is saying we need more troops in Afghanistan! Is this true??” And then I read the article. The short answer is, “No.”
Here is the [...]

I know, I’m a little late to the party writing about Rio winning the 2016 Olympics, but it isn’t for lack of interest. Not at all - rather, I have been amused by some stories I have seen on the IOC decision. To say it took some people by surprise (that is, the [...]

The past few weeks, okay, MONTHS, have been fairly contentious: fights on Capitol Hill about Health Care Reform; the race card being played again, by a former president, no less; heightened concerns by those in the know about Afghanistan; our children being indoctrinated; and Hollywood Elite calling for the freedom of a convicted rapist and [...]

That would be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaking out about violence against girls and women at the U.N. After the ad nauseum speeches of President Obama, this is an incredibly refreshing change, even though the subject is intense, to say the least. Still, this one has substance, and isn’t “just words.” [...]

Yes, it is a Numbers Game today. My blogging buddy, Diamond Tiger at Logistics Monster had this video at her blog today, which I am shamelessly stealing (hey - she’s on HI time - she is up when we East Coasters are dead asleep, even though she is at the March on Washington. [...]

I know, not the kind of headline one might expect from me, to put it mildly. This is a quote from the following article, What women’s lib? 70 Percent Of Americans Think Women Should Take Spouse’s Name After Marriage. Say whaaa??
The results of this article came out the other day, though one [...]

I just happened to catch this Tuesday morning, and thought it raised some interesting questions on the issue of health care reform:
So, why isn’t this man helping to shape policy? He sounds pretty smart to me.

I got an email recently from an organization that has impressed me, VoteVets.org. As their name implies, they work hard on behalf of our veterans. They work not just on behalf of our veterans, but all those currently serving in the military. The email was on the issue of “Don’t Ask, Don’t [...]

Though you are not going to believe where else it is happening - not grave robbing this time, but general disrespect, and callous disregard. Ready? Arlington Cemetery. Yep, sad to say, but true. Thanks to CG, a faithful No Quarter reader, for this article, “Grave Offenses At Arlington National Cemetery.” [...]

Are extremists infiltrating our own military to the point of inadvertently training terrorists who will attack us in the future? It turns out that at least 40 persons who list their occupation as “military” are profiled on the Internet forum New Saxon, a Facebook-like site operated by the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement.
Is this a [...]

“This Guy” being President Obama, and the ones making excuses for him are people in the LGBT community. In this particular instance, I mean over “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Yes, the Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to “DADT” in the case of Infantryman, and JAG officer, James Pietrangelo II (H/T to Soldier4Hillary [...]
