Frau Merkel Has Destroyed Her Own Party
Don’t look now, but Germany’s “ruling” Christian Democratic Union party has not only lost another state election, but lost it so badly they didn’t even win a single seat.

Oopsie! Democrat Convicted Felon Drops Bid
One of the more difficult (and underappreciated) tasks in politics is recruiting candidates, especially in down-ballot races. Lots of people can be convinced to run for President, but recruiting for county-level races is a much tougher ask. State Representative races fall in-between: Pretty important, but not so high profile that recruiting solid candidates is a… Continue reading Oopsie! Democrat Convicted Felon Drops Bid

The F-15 has been around so long that I built plastic models of it in my youth. But with the F-15EX IIs, Boeing (which merged with original manufacturer McDonnell Douglas in 1997) has updated the old dog to teach it some very new tricks. “There’s still some people out there who don’t fully understand just… Continue reading F-15EX IIs: Not Your Father’s F-15
LinkSwarm For September 18, 2026
Lots of Democrat/Blue State fraud of varying types (campaign financing, voting, welfare state), hot marine-drone-on-marine-drone action, one of Maduro’s scumbags pleads guilty, the feds investigate Governor Hairgel and his henchmen, corrupt or power-hungry police get slapped down in two different Texas locales, a breakdown of just who is funding the “AI will kill us all”… Continue reading LinkSwarm For September 18, 2026
Murder Charges Dropped Because Travis County Missed Deadlines
In Travis County, the land of bonded-out murder suspects, a case recently resurfaced that had previously evaded my eye, one where a suspect managed to avoid murder charges through sheer sloth and incompetence from the Travis County DA’s office. AUSTIN MAN beat a woman to death, left her body under a tarp in his yard… Continue reading Murder Charges Dropped Because Travis County Missed Deadlines
Soros-Backed DA Larry Krasner Going Down?
The love of Soros-backed DAs for repeat offenders and other criminal scum is well-documented.
