    "war of morthern aggression" bwahahahahahahahaha!

    truth:

    "The January 26, 1861 edition of Harper's Weekly featured the following illustration, showing the First Shot of the Civil War.

    The first shot was fired on January 10, 1861. It was fired by the South Carolinians on Morris Island.

    They fired on the Union Ship "Star of the West" as it attempted to reinforce Major Anderson at Fort Sumter.

    The illustration below was an eye-witness drawing of this incredible scene. This newspaper also carried a Description of the Firing on the Star of the West."

    now mr. prairie punidt sir, maybe you were trying to make the pijnt that if roberst was a confederacy-fan he would have used the term " war of northeren aggression."

    if that is so, let my little citation only serve as a reminder to your confederacy'fan readers - if there are any - that they started the war; they seceded from the union, and that IF their secession/rebellion/insurgency and traitorous treachery had been allowed to stand, that the USA would not have been around to defeat nazism or cummunism - or even now jihadofascism.

    the "war between the states" was won by the good guys.

    all the best.

    I used the term War of Northern Aggression to show how silly the WaPo suggestion about the war between the states was. Anyone who is still fighting that war today is wasting a lot of time. The silly fights over the Confederate Battle flag are a perfect example of both sides wasting time over a symbol of a failed rebellion.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
