Far East Cynic

There is a difference between support and enabling reckless, lawless behavior.

Why colluding with Israeli aggression is a bad idea. Many years ago, I participated in a wargame whose primary thesis was – what happens if Israel acts unilaterally and drags us into a war not of our own choosing. Turns out it was prophetic. The premise of the game was

Wag the Dog

For the learning impaired in the back: 1) The US and Israel are the bad guys here. This is not self-defense; this is unwarranted aggression. It is a war of choice, a discretionary war. An unnecessary war started by a deranged idiot at Netanyahu’s bidding to keep Netanyahu in power.

These worthless souls are killing our future.

Thanks to Trump, life will be nasty, brutish, and short. The K-shaped economy is a real thing, and despite what your deranged Trump-humping friends may say, Biden did not create it. Rich Oligarchs did. Consider: a. The majority of share gains on the stock market came from households making more

Good people are many times, anything but.

One story of a man who did terrible emotional damage to someone and never suffered for it. A story of how someone else’s squadron mate was really a terrible person.

Their view of immigration is not what they say it is.

If ICE were really concerned about so-called “illegal” immigration, they would be doing things far differently than they are.

It has been 5 years today since thugs committed treason against the United States of America. Sadly, there were Citadel graduates among those worthless thugs – a betrayal of everything that they supposedly believe about the ideals of the college. All of those people who invaded the Capitol were fucking

Pass the word.

It is wrong to pretend that things are “normal” to normalize the evil actions Kristi Noem oversees. Recently, The Citadel hosted Kristi Noem. They should not have done this. The university should not give any recognition to someone who runs an organization of thugs who violate rights, beat people, and

The Old Corps is not coming back.

No matter what Hegseth says or wants — it’s the 21st Century now and the world he longs for no longer exists. From 1975 to 1979, I attended The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. At the time, the college was all-male; women were not admitted, and this did

Enough is enough.

Charlie Kirk was no saint, and the overtime effort to beatify him is nothing short of apostasy. There’s a line in the movie, Absence of Malice, “ a lot of news is bad news for somebody and pretty soon those somebodies start adding up”. That’s Charlie Kirk’s epitaph. He took
