() The Air Force, under fire for throwing down $1,280 apiece to replace in-flight reheating cups after their handles break, is pledging to use 3-D printing to get that replacement cost down to 50 cents.

But Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is still wondering why these pricey water heaters are necessary in the first place, and plans to keep pushing the Air Force to find cheaper waysto warm up their coffee.

My Commentary: When tax time arrives, consider making a modest donation to the IRS. Every petro-dollar counts! The “Great Work” of our wise and noble elect never ends, and it ain’t cheap!

The Danger of Engaging in Perpetual War

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following link, which I originally posted to my own wall in August of 2016, and decidedly re-shared it, while adding a commentary…

Our Greatest National Security Threat? Perpetual War:
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/08/12/our-greatest-national-security-threat-perpetual-war

(William Astore) The United States is now engaged in perpetual war with victory nowhere in sight.  Iraq is chaotic and scarred. So, too, is Libya. Syria barely exists. After 15 years, “progress” in Afghanistan has proven eminently reversible as efforts to rollback recent Taliban gainscontinue to falter. The Islamic State may be fracturing, but its various franchises are finding new and horrifying ways to replicate themselves and lash out. Having spent trillions of dollars on war with such sorry results, it’s a wonder that key figures in the U.S. military or officials in any other part of America’s colossal national security state and the military-industrial complex (“the Complex” for short) haven’t spoken out forcefully and critically about the disasters on their watch.

My Commentary: Not exactly rocket science, and yet, it still remains an ever-elusive concept to most, somehow…

Show Your Dedicated Support for Your Favorite War-Mongering Presidential Candidate by Enlisting in the Military, Now!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared in the comments section of this post, by the page, “Being Libertarian,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"From the polling lines to the front lines. Women are standing up to Russia. Pre-register for the draft today. https://www.sss.gov/Home/Registration. I ❤ H (HillaryClinton.com)"

“From the polling lines to the front lines. Women are standing up to Russia. Pre-register for the draft today. https://www.sss.gov/Home/Registration. I ❤ H (HillaryClinton.com)”

My Commentary: If only this meme wasn’t a joke…*sigh* Then again, it could possibly qualify as prophetic…

But, seriously, though…

You’re with her? Sounds like you have some signing up to do!

What’s that you say? You’re “too old”? Well, actually… not if you’re under 40! The Air Force, the Navy Reserve, the Air National Guard, and Coast Guard Reserve, are ALL still looking for a few good women! And, if you’re between 34-35, you even have up to five more options than these! So, I suggest you get moving, and dutifully prove your commitment to your favorite candidate! You’ll probably beat the lines, if you head out today! Your local recruiting station eagerly awaits your enlistment!

Wait… You’re actually looking to “Make America Great Again,” you say? Sweet! Sounds like you have some signing up to do, too!

That’s right! Both major candidates are pro-war! And, in case you haven’t noticed, America’s endless wars aren’t just going to fight themselves!
