    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      I dont know why I remember this (or even learned it the first time), but a friend told me that Ted Williams is the only person in the Baseball hall of fame and also in the Fishing Hall of Fame.

        I often think of him as I sit in a traffic jam in that bloody tunnel in Boston as I try to get home from the airport. I'm afraid they're typically not kind thoughts.

        I was only joking

          I saw Ted Williams play at Fenway Park, over 60 years ago.

          The story mentions that he was in the same outfit as John Glenn in Korea. I believe he was John Glenn's wingman.

          Those are two Marine aviators you wouldn't want to see coming at you if you were the enemy.

          He died 20 years ago, but he was frozen and awaits his rebirth.
