I can almost hear Bob saying this!
Readers will recall that in January, Miss D. and I went up to Colorado for the funeral of a good friend, Bob, who'd been our host at our Blogorado gatherings for more than a decade. He was a no-nonsense, down-to-earth, plain-spoken man, who said what he meant and meant what he said. I couldn't help thinking of Bob when I read this piece of folk wisdom at Ace of Spades on Saturday. I can almost hear his voice in my mind. It's *exactly* the kind of thing he'd have said to the bureaucrats, too! The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the W... read more

The Obama Iconography Tour
The insipidly iconic Mona Lisa sadly will not be embarking on any more world tours to entertain and inspire the teeming desperate masses of our dying planet. For despite the pleas of French officials anxious to prove their diversity cred, her handlers at the Louvre nixed the idea for good and all in 2018. La Giaconda, as she is also known, has become so fragile that every time the art medics remove her from her bulletproof glass-encased frame for her annual airing, a new crack extending from the tips of her fingers to the top of her forehead grows just a wee bit wider.

Navy Pursues Large Undersea Attack Drones*Kris Osborn* *Drones, * Manned submarines can function in more of a command and control capacity to a large extent, operating as motherships able to operate a large fleet of surface and undersea drone boats. The Navy is massively fast-tracking a new fleet of unmanned underwater vehicles to more safely perform a range of submarine-like missions to include reconnaissance, countermine operations, and even undersea attack. Drone submarines provide an unprecedented mix of additional attributes of great relevance to maritime warfare. A principal element of this is endurance. After a... read more

The Gates of the Temple of JanusIn the Roman Republic, the gates of the Temple of Janus, the two-faced Roman God, symbolized wartime and peace. When Rome was at peace, the gates of the temple remained closed. When Rome was at war, the gates would be opened. According to Livy, the Temple of Janus was built by King Numa Pompilius (reigned 715–673 BC). During the 500 year history of the Roman Republic, the gates of the Temple of Janus were closed only twice which means that the Romans were at war almost throughout the Republican age. In the second instance, the gates were closed by Augustus, after the death of Antony... read more

(Iraq News Agency) On July 15, Moqtada al-Sadr announced that his followers would boycott the October 2021 elections.

A month later Sadr’s real motivation was revealed when it was reported that he wanted the balloting to be postponed. Many of the major parties have been pushing this to little effect for months now and Sadr was the latest to try.
