By David Glenn Cox The NATO meeting went boffo off the rails. Important issues were decided, and positions were strengthened and solidified. For example; it was agreed by all privately that Donald Trump was officially off his rocker and roller skating on one skate. Oh, where to begin? “The Islamic Republic of Japan!” Or my favorite, repeatedly calling President Erdogan of Turkey president Putin…

By David Glenn Cox What is going on? Those crazy Iranians attacked three ships in the Strait of Hormuz. What’s wrong with those people? Are they crazy? Are they insane? Why would they do such crazy, crazy things? Don’t they want peace and good fellowship? Don’t they want to keep their winnings after fleecing President Doofus? Why, oh why, would those crazy Iranians ever do such a thing? This is…

By David Glenn Cox I had a friend who was a truck driver in the army. He said that the way they had the trucks geared, top speed was only around 55 mph. In a convoy, the front truck had its foot to the floor while the truck at the end of the convoy is stuck in third gear and only doing 35mph on the interstate. That is logistics in a snapshot, making everyone go at or near the same speed. All it…

By David Glenn Cox There are news stories, and then there are stories which tell so much more than the facts they reveal. A story out of Ukraine says the Russians are removing official documents and records from occupied Crimea. It says so much more about the situation on the ground than the words do. All bureaucracies work to survive, no matter the situation. If true, it means the Russians are…

By David Glenn Cox I didn’t mean to disparage the heat risk yesterday; I do understand. I once helped a friend build a deck in an Alabama July. It didn’t go well as you couldn’t sweat fast enough or hydrate enough because of the humidity. The sun literally wilted you and sucked out your soul. It was just too damn hot to be outside and function. In all honesty, if the great Spate Fair was giving…

By David Glenn Cox Once upon a time, an evil king foolishly started a war with Iran. Scrambling to escape his error, while scratching his ass and winding his watch, the king agreed to a ceasefire. Then the king agreed to a ridiculously one-sided memo ran dumb of not understanding. “King gets beat over the head by loyalists over his stupid surrender document.” The US violates the ceasefire as the…

By David Glenn Cox In my mind, I can see a snapshot of the Russian soldiers pulling out of Afghanistan on the backs of their personnel carriers crossing that last bridge. I had thought about this for a long-time. My prophecy for the war in Ukraine had misfired and gone askew years ago. I had foolishly and stupidly foreseen the Russian elites removing Mr. Putin before he took them over Niagara…

By David Glenn Cox When I was in elementary school, every year at the end of the term, they held a carnival. Not a big deal. A couple of ladies from the PTA coordinated it. Bake sale in the gym, a tilt-a-whirl, carnival games on the playground, the whole nine yards. My mind wandered back to those soft, halcyon days of elementary school when I saw “America’s State Fair 250.” Or “The Soviet…

By David Glenn Cox In his classic 1953 novel, “Fahrenheit 451,” Ray Bradbury painted a picture of the police chasing and killing the criminal Montag, live on TV. Only the police couldn’t find the real Montag, so they killed someone else who looked enough like Montag to fool the camera and TV audience. Not bad; only the best science fiction captures aspects of the future so correctly. Live-24…

By David Glenn Cox “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” ― Mark Twain, I’ve been enjoying the FIFA game videos while successfully avoiding watching any of the games…

By David Glenn Cox Boom, there it is! And a long time in coming it was, too. Crack! A Senate audience with the king turned into a shouting match over Iran. Dash it all, he doth spoke directly at the king’s head, sir! Republican Senator Bill Cassidy lost his primary to a Trump-backed candidate. So there was no love lost between the two. But inside this mystery is a riddle. How will Trump-backed…

By David Glenn Cox I read the news today, oh boy! Nobody enjoys going to work on Monday. Now, imagine that you’re doing your daily ablutions and getting ready for work. You drive the drive, and park the car and walk into the office dreading the day. “Good morning, Mr. President.” You think your day sucks, there are people out there working for Donald Trump, just as sane as you and me. Under the…

By David Glenn Cox Who are you going to believe? Me? Or your own lying eyes? The President defect now claims vandals cut a 250 – foot gash in the liner of the Reflecting Pool. That’s it! It was vandals with box cutters. Vandals everyone! Invisible vandals! Funny thing, though, this liner wasn’t a pool liner at all. It’s a paint on, pickup truck bed liner. You can’t make this stuff up. Will it…

By David Glenn Cox “All media is propaganda” – George Orwell The only difference is all in the way the message is delivered. Everything I say is just as much propaganda as the other guys’. The only difference is I don’t hide myself in sheep’s clothing of objectivity. Yes, I dislike them logically, morally, and sensibly. I dislike their policies and propose alternatives. Yes, I make fun of them.…

By David Glenn Cox MISSING! Have you seen this man? He goes by the name of Pete. Big mouth, macho guy, greasy hair, probably closeted and overcompensating. He thinks he’s a cross between Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and Rambo. And most importantly, he thinks we believe him. He thinks his patter is ten out of ten. He thinks he could sell cow shit to cowboys. In the run-up to the Trump war in Iran,…

By David Glenn Cox That’s right! It was a “This Carbon-Based Life” media scoop. Who told you yesterday, before the major media, that the paint was peeling in the reflecting pool? Who told you from two thousand miles away from Washington? I did! I guessed it logically out of pure Trump experience. I asked myself, (WWDTD?) What would Donald Trump do? He’d hire some sketchy guys to run down to Home…
