A quick commentary on the Afghan debacle, might have made it up before Kabul falls.
A lot of people who counted on us are going to be slaughtered thanks to Biden and his “expert” military leaders who say folks like me are the real threat.
The only enemy this Biden Administration and their woke Military leaders are prepared and anxious to fight are us.

As a bonus here are the standings of our face to face draft league which first began playing in 1987 in Fitchburg Massachusetts. We have two divisions with 4 teams each playing a 60 game season every other Saturday at Zeda’s Pizza in Fitchburg MA. The individual leagues are named for deceased members of the league. Five teams make the playoffs, the best record gets home field throughout and 2nd best record of the division leaders gets a home series against the best non-division winner while the final two teams play a one game playin for the right to face the best division winner in the playoffs.
New players are always welcome

If you want to sum up Demo cats these days you can’t do better than this tweet and my response.
Anyone who knows the history of Democrats in the Jim Crow Era talking about how Black Republicans were a danger to their women would recognize @AOC's "fears" for the grift that it was and still is.
A century has passed but the Democrat playbook hasn't changed one bit.
This was the tactic used against Herman Cain as well in 2012 when he was getting too close to the nomination with a populist message.
But what really gets me about this story is how AOC reminds me of Turk from the old Daredevil comic book, particularly this sequence when he steals the Stilt man’s equipment and approaches the Kingpin for a job.
That is AOC to a T. Of course while the Democrats are as corrupt as the Kingpin or even more, they are not as careful when it comes to employing idiots or not.
