Amazon sells Dummkopf Trumpf voodoo dolls:

That's exactly right. Congressmen and Senators enjoy a platinum healthcare plan and their attending physician is a USN admiral. Mitch McConnell's obituary won't read very well.

Good luck to the challenger and screw the GOP.

Most welcome, Doc Sarvis.

The 1970s saw some pretty good made-for-TV movies, like that one and The Execution of Private Eddie Slovik amongst others.

I may write a non-political historic OP about the US Army, but the last non-political OP I wrote was not-- sniff-sniff-- well received.

"I work my fingers to the bone for you people and this is the thanks I get!"

Hi Zed:

Thanks for the clarification. I had read many years ago the Gatling gun was retired after the last battle against the indigenous warriors circa 1892-- either Wounded Knee or something with the Ghost Dancers warriors-- meaning their mass killing function came to an end.

When I went to Wikipedia I was surprised to read that the Gatling gun was used during labor unrest in 1921 West Virginia.

Last week I learned that Mount Rushmore is a testament to America's ethnic cleansers, when for years I thought it was a monument to four of our great POTUS.

Thanks again, Zed.

This senior DIA intelligence officer was "DOGEd."

When you look at Dr Gustav Otto's experience and education, what were Felon Musk's goons looking to do by firing him and other qualified leaders across the USG?

Weakening and destruction of America is all I can gather.

These are the same Sheeple that are anti-vax and pro-gun.

Republican voters are a death cult that wants Amerikka to be as dystopian as possible and the oligarchs are laughing their way to the Swiss banks.

You said it.

Graham Platner (D-ME) has a slight lead over Susan Collins (R-ME) in their US Senate race.

Ken 'Pedophile-Protector' Paxton (R-TX) has a slight lead over James Talarico (D-TX).

AIPAC, the GOP, and the status quo oligarchs are flooding Maine and Texas with ad money to defeat these two insurgencies.

*** Hakeem Jeffries Unsettled About Progressive Democrats Winning ***

The cadre of Democratic congressional candidates that won their primaries on Tuesday are against AIPAC and funding Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. "The Squad 2.0" also rightfully calls for abolishing ICE and DHS.

These two positions unsettle Hakeem Jeffries. He was not primaried this year, but probably will be challenged by a Zohran Mamdani-backed candidate in 2028.

Morning Doc Sarvis.

Thanks for posting.

Less than 1,000 US Army soldiers were killed during the 19th-century pacification process of the native Americans, including the casualties of Battle of Little Bighorn. And after the last military engagement against the indigenous people in the early 1890s, the Gatling gun was formally retired.

@2 Many decades ago my father told me that he worked for a small company in Brooklyn that supported the war effort-- meaning the Korean War or the Cold War. He said the family-owned company where he worked for ten years suddenly declared bankruptcy and everybody was out of a job and on the street.

He was reminiscing and he showed me some old photographs.

A few weeks later I took my retired parents on a picnic to New Jersey-- directly across Manhattan-- and after a half-hour's drive or so, I pulled up to this rustic, old brick factory with a dozen cars in its parking lot.

"Dad, do you recognize the sign?"

He was flabbergasted.

"But, but how could that be?"

This was the same company that declared bankruptcy in Brooklyn, now operating in NJ.

We ventured in and an old foreman was still there who remembered my father and they enjoyed a remarkable reunion. One of the family member owners was there as well.

After all the huckle-yuckle-chuckle, I finally cleared my throat and asked: "So, your company declared bankruptcy in 1960, huh?"

Embarrassed by my sudden question, the scion replied humble-mumble-chumble.

I stared at him, gave him a break and smiled, then took my parents to one of the parks near the Palisades for our delicious picnic that I had prepared.

During the repast and on the drive home, I had to explain to my parents the ruthless concept of bankruptcy to escape liabilities and paying pension checks.

"I did that!"
