The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Quote of the day
From The Diplomad, referring to the Trump indictment:
We have become a banana republic with nuclear weapons. My apology to banana republics; they, at least, provide us bananas.
“Donald Trump arrested: Special counsel Jack Smith confronts former president in courtroom” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/courts/donald-trump-arrested-jack-smith-confronts-former-president-miami-courtroom
We are now a banana republic. I weep for the old republic.
I forgot the nuclear weapon thing. Of course, I expect Biden to through all of our nuclear weapons in the bottom of the sea before he crumbles into dust.
As long as the puppeteers don't decide to use them so that they can declare martial law, suspend elections and officially declare the Constitution dead. John in Indy
We made the original "Banana Republics", too. The U.S. military, mainly the Marines, made incursions on behalf of the United Fruit Company into Guatemala and Honduras. It made the fruit company the primary power in the region. Hence the name.
I posted this yesterday at my favorite place.
