The Greatest Piece of Military Equipment Was a Tiny Bottle of Tabasco

Every veteran remembers that tiny glass bottle of Tabasco tucked inside an MRE. Most of us assumed it had always been there—or heard ridiculous barracks rumors that it was issued to keep you awake on guard duty. The truth is even better. It wasn’t the product of a Pentagon study or a billion-dollar procurement program. It was the idea of a Marine who understood that morale sometimes comes in a one-eighth-ounce bottle. This is the story of how one of the most beloved pieces of military “equipment” earned its place in America’s rucksacks—one spicy meal at a time.

Dictators, Democrats, and Iran – Is There a Difference: Perfect is the enemy of good.

I have always favored the 85% solution over the perfect solution, as perfect is never achieved, but with an 85% solution one can look to improve it if the situation allows. The fourteen point Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Trump administration and Iran is just that a memo. The objectives President Trump laid out has achieved 99% of what he set out to do – stop Iran from making a nuclear weapon and destroy their ability to do so.

Where’s the regime change? It is in Iran because killing the ayatollah created a power vacuum.

The Clara Peller Company of the RINO Regiment of the Dividers Division is chirping, “Where’s the regime change?”

You remember Clara. She was the 66-year-old manicurist hired to ask, “Where’s the beef?” 42 years ago in a memorable Wendy’s commercial.

She had a legitimate, um, beef. Many a fast food hamburger in 1984 was all bun and little burger.

Today, those who oppose Making America Great Again—both foreign and domestic—are demanding regime change. Where’s the regime change they demand.

OFF THE TABLE: Iran reveals what ‘will NEVER be’ included in US deal as Trump drops new warning

President Donald Trump warned that he would take whatever action he deems necessary if Iran fails to uphold its commitments during a new 60-day roadmap agreement after talks in Switzerland.

Gen. Jack Keane: We CANNOT let Iran drive wedge between US and Israel

Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane (ret.) joins ‘Varney & Co.’ to discuss Vice President JD Vance postponing a planned Switzerland trip, Iran’s refusal to engage in talks and the ongoing missile threat facing Israel and Gulf allies.

Bending America Until it Breaks

Bend a piece of metal; no matter how strong it is, keep bending it, and it will break. That is our current political system. And it is worldwide.

Europe is on some kind of autopilot. The people have literally no input into where they are going; it has become a very weird place. Victims of crime are being arrested while the perps are being let go. 90% of all new jobs are going to foreigners. Europe is getting closer every day to revolution.

Trump Criticizes Israel Over Lebanon at G7 Summit in France

President Donald J. Trump criticizes Israel for taking too long and killing too many people in the country’s attack on Lebanon. He recommended to Israeli Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, that Syria be given the task of eliminating Hezbollah. Israel’s actions against Hezbollah have not been targeted, have eliminated non-Hezbollah people and have taken the momentum away from the more pressing negotiations in Iran.

Consequences

Trump has successfully demonstrated the tactic of threatening dire consequences to bring latent matters to the forefront, to wit: Greenland – the intended consequence was not “taking” this island but forcing Denmark to send arms to protect against China/Russia closing the new sea-lanes. The intended consequences of saying he was going to withdraw from NATO suddenly inspired the members to start paying up; and pressuring Cuba to change regimes by controlling Venezuelan oil….

Victory in Iran: Trump did it with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman AND Israel on our side.

Move over, Marilyn Monroe. Your happy birthday to President Kennedy is nothing compared to Trump ringing in his 80th with a UFC bout, the Marine Corps Band and a flyover by the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels over the mall with its restored reflecting pool that no longer suffers the aftermath of the Kenyan Klown’s benighted presidency.

Also on Sunday, Iran’s third-string regime waved the white flag and gave up.
