Finally some good news. Not that the stories of courageous volunteers coming out of Houston weren't already good news, but the equipment and training the military can bring to bear, such as helicopters, water purification systems and high water vehicles, will be especially beneficial going forward. Begrudgingly I'm going to give this one to #DonaldTrump. He is, by nature, a delegater, and we all know of his love affair with the military (I'm surprised he hasn't demanded military parades in his honor yet). There's a very good chance he said, "Get the military in there to help." Or Pence did.

I can’t remember how I became infatuated with “gun” channels on YouTube, but I think it may have started about two months ago when a friend sent me a link to a free Conceal-Carry Permit class. While I already own a handful of guns I think I started watching them when trying to decide if I wanted to try and pick up another pistol specifically designed for conceal-carry or just use one of my existing pistols. Regardless of how I started watching them, I’ve been semi-addicted ever since. Not out of some desire to become a gun-nut, but rather because I realized just how much I didn’t know about the subject and like many things in life, I don’t like not knowing. Sadly, I had to watch countless videos from countless channels of self-described “gun” and “tactical” experts to find some really good information and that includes reading the comments. Yes, the YouTube comments. I realize most people stay clear of the comments section, especially on YouTube, but if you’re willing to wade thro

The good news is, with all the flooding in the area, the fire is not likely to spread, but I think the takeaway here is Texas' "anti-regulation" climate isn't very good for business. Yes, not many people could have foreseen this level of flooding, but some sort of emergency action plan should have been in play, especially after Katrina and Sandy. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/hurricane-harvey/harvey-danger-major-chemical-plant-near-houston-likely-explode-facility-n797581

Was #DonaldTrump's pardoning of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio unconstitutional? Legal experts believe so. _As with any other presidential power, the power to pardon is constrained by the ordinary requirements of federal law applicable to all public officials. For example, if representatives of a pardon-seeker arrived in the Oval Office with a bundle of cash that the president accepted in return for a pardon, there is little doubt that the president would be guilty of the crime of bribery. . . .  If Trump were to pardon any of the figures in the current Russia investigation, his action would certainly impede or obstruct the due administration of justice, as the courts have broadly construed that standard. It would not be difficult to imagine Mueller making the case that the motive behind such interference was “corrupt.” As the Founding Fathers made plain, the purpose behind the pardon power is to extend mercy to those who have offended and have demonstrated remorse. Using the pardon pow

Consider this for a moment: in the midst of record flooding in one of America's largest cities (and it's not like Houston is as close to the ocean as, let's say, Miami, New Orleans, San Diego or New York) #DonaldTrump signs an executive order rolling back Obama-era rules requiring infrastructure to be built with flooding in mind. Let that sink in for a moment. #TrumpNation Originally shared by Betsy McCall Because, of course, you should do that in the middle of a historic flood where large sections of infrastructure are currently under water.

Was out walking Rufus when I struck up a conversation with a guy fishing with his son. After a while he asks, "Do you want a beer?" I can't really see what he's offering, but he was offering so I decided to take him up on his offer. He hands me a Natural Light. "Natty Light," he says, "I've been drinking it since I was a teenager. I opened the can ( can ? What adult drinks canned beer? But, I digress) and take a sniff: it smelled like the barracks. Cheap beer on a Saturday night. I do not miss those days. So, I'm home and washing my mouth out with a fairly decent bourbon and watching Archer.

Is #DonaldTrump concerned with your cybersecurity? Is he not concerned with a cyber-nuke that could cripple the USA and therefore the global economy?

I don't really use Facebook although I do keep my account open due to the simple fact that most of my friends and family use it - daily.

"_Chickenhawk_" is the appropriate word, I believe. After #DonaldTrump had been elected and began noting who he wanted in his cabinet I commented on a post by Marla Caldwell (whom I haven't seen in a while - is she okay?) that he was choosing so many military leaders for those seats because he wanted to project the image of strength and capability. Turns out, I'm not the only one who noticed his habit of surrounding himself with symbols of power and strength. You know, much like third world despots who dress in military attire and wear awards they didn't win or who give themselves titles of "General" or "Commander" without ever setting a boot in the service.

Olav Folland, About a week ago I received the postcards in the mail and failed to send you a note thanking you for two very real reasons: [1] I've been lazy and [2] when I wasn't being lazy I was busy away from the computer. Sorry about that. I do thank you. So, imagine my surprise when yesterday I get another envelope with five postcards in it. What , I thought. Just before tossing the envelope in the recycling bin I notice the postmark: May 8, 2017 . May 8! I checked the other envelope, the one I received last week, and it had a post mark of July 27. I can only conclude, the original batch that you sent me, around May 8th, somehow was shipped out on a tour of the world while the replacement shipment, sent about July 27, came straight here. On a side note, we did notice that something ordered back in December that just arrived with these "old" postcards. Funny story.

I once had a friend who kept Ranger memorabilia around his house so he could "prove" he served in the Rangers. He didn't. He admitted as such when I started asking him questions about units, missions and people he served with. It baffles me when people exaggerate their accomplishments.

Do you believe #DonaldTrump is willing to quit? Even if it's in exchange for immunity from the Mueller investigation into his dealings with Russia? Personally, I don't think he will. He ran on a platform of "winning" and being "the best" at everything. His ego won't allow him to quit because no matter what deal he negotiates he'll be forever viewed as the shortest term presidency ever with the lowest approval ratings and the most controversy.

Five year old neighbor-girl caught me outside and after some discussion about my favorite foods, she told me goblins were nearby. I asked, "How big are they?" She spread her hands about a foot and a half apart. "Oh, that's good," I said. "How big are their teeth?" She put her fingers about two inches apart. "Whoa, those are big teeth. I bet they hurt." She nodded. "You know, I was attacked my a goblin once." Her eyes went wide. "I was slightly older than you and I went to get out of bed and it grabbed my leg." Her eyes went wider. "Yeah, you can feel my scar from where it bit me," I said and pointed at a scar on my leg. Fear was evident on her face. "Is that a true story," she asked me quietly. "True enough," I replied.
