The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Military Exercises


For John, BLUFTempest in a tea pot.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Just to keep you up to date on Operation JADE HELM 15,

Hat tip to Reporter Carl Prine.

ADDED COMMENTS:

The Governor of Texas, Gregg Abbott, directed the Texas National Guard to monitor Operation JADE HELM 15, as a way of assuring those citizens of Texas concerned about this particular Army Special Operations Command exercise.  Contributing to citizen concerns was an information session in Bastrop, Texas.  A friend of mine, with experience from South America to Africa, says it was very poorly done on the part of the Army.  Meanwhile, others just added to the mess.  From Wikipedia—On May 7, 2015, Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic Governor of Virginia, called Abbott's mobilizing of the Texas State Guard in response to the training exercise "one of the dumbest things I have ever heard".  Apparently Governor McAuliffe has led a very sheltered life.  And doesn't know that US1 in Virginia is name the Jefferson Davis Highway.

The joke is that training ammo, even bombs, are painted blue, to distinguish them from live ammo.
