I was acquainted with the family of the late David Dolby, who won the CMOH in Vietnam. He told me that he’d go to the MoH Banquet every year in DC, where he’d be seated next to Roger Donlon and Jimmy Doolittle.
I didn't vote from 1996 to 2015. Then I registered so I could vote for the God-Emperor, and I've been voting for him ever since. When his adopted son Julius Domitius Vancius runs in 2028, I'll vote for him.
Letting things get bad, in hopes a choice, not an echo, will emerge and be successful with both party and mushy middle, is a viable option in a democracy, but it stuck in my craw.
Top ten worst along with Biden and Carter. Throw in Johnson and Nixon. Buchanan. Pierce. Maybe Obama. How do you grade William Henry Harrison? He had the decency to die a month into his presidency. And Zack Taylor? His presidency is most famous for the way he died after eating a bowl of cherries on a hot afternoon.
It’s been fascinating to watch the the rehabilitation of Dubya by Democrats who now lionize him as compassionate because he paints water color and more importantly wants to give citizenship to the 30+ illegals in this country.
He was one of the worst presidents and looking back now, with strong woke tendencies. IMO, all presidents post-Clinton have been awful. Trump 2.0 had better ideas but terrible execution.
Your UPI column was ill-timed to get noticed. I believe someone brought it up months or years later, or I may have noticed Bush's pandering at the time, when I had a longer attention span.
We keep hearing about mass killers being on the FBI's radar, but never why they do nothing. As with the ticket guy, PC seems to be a likely answer, or bureaucratic inertia.
My constitutional law professor at Princeton was Walter Murphy, who also won a Distinguished Service Cross and a Purple Heart as a Marine during the Korean War (yes, academics no longer serve in the military), and retired as a colonel. When attempting to board a flight in 2007 (at the age of 78), he was informed that he was on the 'no-fly' list because of comments that he had made that were critical of the Bush Administration, but at least the Adminstration wasn't being mean to Arabs.
I believe every American who has to travel for business should get one free kick on the shoe bomber's 'nads. If everyone has a go, we should start the rotation again.
There's a new Medal of Honor Museum in Texas:

I wonder if this story will be included.
I was thinking the same thing.

George W. Bush was one of our worst Presidents.
There are too many to choose from. But at the time and since, would Gore or Kerry or McCain have been a better President?

I guess we have to concede that this stupidity occurred before the mass infusion of Black! TSA workers?
Why hasn’t Elon and his DOGE team attacked the questionable added-value of the TSA?
Over 65,000 employees, plus some dogs.
Let’s keep the dogs and offer the rest a buyout package. Everybody gets a butt-sniff before boarding.
Foss was one helluva good man. A hero.
