Newt’s Reformation
By Phil Brennan on Friday, December 16th, 2011
In 1945 I was a member of the Marine guard company assigned to the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. where the triggering devices for the Atom bomb were manufactured and the residence of the Chief of Naval Operation who at that time was the naval hero of the Pacific war Adm. Chester W. Nimitz.was located. The civilian in charge of the Naval Observatory was a man named Gingrich and I’ve often wondered if he ...
Another Birthday
By Phil Brennan on Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
July 8, 2011, I celebrated my 85th birthday and commenced my journey through year 86 which hopefully will be my last in this vale of tears. I never expected to be around for so long a time – a fact for which I can take no credit. I have long abused this body and as a result should have kicked the bucket years ago. Instead I remain alive and kicking everything but the bucket. Considering ...
Ann Coulter Strikes Again
By Phil Brennan on Friday, June 17th, 2011
It’s that time of the year – and a brand new book designed to drive the nation’s liberal nut cases to a state of distraction. A year is incomplete without a new Ann Coulter book showing up on the bookstands. If Liberals were capable of recognizing themselves as the targets of “Demonic” they’d either reform or commit mass suicide. Ann’s target is “the mob” and she provides a ghastly vision of a mob in action; ...
A Modest Proposal
By Phil Brennan on Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
It’s early to be picking sides in the 2012 GOP presidential race and ordinarily I’d be scoffing at those rash enough to choose sides months before the primaries. Not now, however. Given the miserable state of my health and the inescapable fact that I am approaching my 85th birthday, there is ample reason to doubt that I’ll be around to make a choice in a year the Mayans are said to have predicted will see ...
Is There a Birthplace Question?
By Phil Brennan on Thursday, April 21st, 2011
Thanks in a large part to author and gumshoe Jerome Corsi the question about Barack Hussein Obama’s birthplace continues to be a hot topic. Corsi and others, derisively dubbed “birthers” by the mainstream media – which once employed “McCarthyism” a derisive term coined in the basement of the KGB’s Moscow headquarters at 3 Dzerzinski Square and fed to a willing U.S media  – insist that the President’s true birthplace is not Hawaii, but Kenya, where his ...
In Memoriam
By Phil Brennan on Saturday, February 19th, 2011
Sixty Six years ago, on February 19th, 1945, three Marine Divisions landed on a barren, rock strewn, volcanic island, barely two and a half miles at its widest point and about five miles from one end to another. The island was well named – Iwo Jima, Japanese for Sulphur Island. In a matter of minutes the Marines huddled in the open on the volcanic sand under intense enemy fire had another name for this evil ...
When Push Comes to Shove
By Phil Brennan on Friday, February 18th, 2011
Uncle Sam is broke. So are a lot of the states. Unlike those of us locked in a state of penury thanks to a drunken sailor policy of spending money we don’t have, a lot of politicians and labor unions insist on continuing to spend the public’s money as if there was an endless supply of it.There isn’t. For the most part, in many places it’s almost all gone.When the average American family finds their ...
A Nation of Wimps
By Phil Brennan on Tuesday, February 1st, 2011
What a bunch of wimps we are. We sit idly by, emptying our wallets to pay for costly foreign oil ““ a commodity always subject to potential disruption thanks to the ongoing and never ending political instability of the Middle East.We wouldn’t need even a teaspoonful of foreign oil if we would take advantage of the proven crude oil reserves in the continental U.S. And Alaska ““ America is sitting on billions of gallons of ...
There’s Always Hope
By Phil Brennan on Monday, January 10th, 2011
In the early fall of 1944 when  I was in Pearl Harbor, en route back to the States to attend the Naval Academy Prep School a front page story in a Honolulu newspaper caught my eye.It was about one of the heirs to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune who had shot himself in his head in an apparent suicide attempt. While I did not know him, I was slightly acquainted with his daughter who would ...
You Can’t Say I Didn’t Warn You
By Phil Brennan on Tuesday, December 28th, 2010
Piers Corbyn is one smart cookie. The British meteorologist, astrophysicist and owner of Weather Action makes forecasts most weather experts deride but also invariably turn out to be uncomfortably accurate.We have just witnessed an event he warned against on December 13th – the massive blizzard that at this moment has crippled much of the Eastern seaboard of the US.Here’s what he predicted then:”The midwest has already had tremendous snow deluges around 10-12 December., But you ...
