Once again, here are a couple of links if you're wanting to make a monetary donation to help out with Hurricane Katrina aid: The American Red Cross. Soldiers' Angels. The American Kennel Club's Canine Relief Fund. Here's a mailing address...

WorldNetDaily is reporting that Air America is also spreading the far-left propaganda (surprised?):Do President Bush and so-called global warming have anything to do with the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Katrina? Yes, according to some politicians and public figures, who...

Buffalo roams the battlefield to protect soldiers from mines

...what has been referred to as a "Humvee on steroids," the Buffalo is a 24-ton mine-protective, countermine/IED vehicle with a long grappling arm that faces down bombs, removes them and withstands terrific blasts without harm to its passengers.

Now THAT'S a REAL S.U.V.! Hoooo-rah!

Yankee ingenuity at work again! (Or should I say Confederate ingenuity, since the manufacturer is in SC?) These new vehicles are capable of coping with mines, and with roadside IED's. Like in any other war that lasts long enough, changed enemy tactics lead to technological innovation and/or changed equipment and weapoons.

By-laws changed proposed for upcoming meeting

THe Chief has recently learned of some proposed by-laws changes for the SD GOP that would have the immediate effect of greatly reducing the possible participation in the state conventions.

This would be a HUGE bad move, unless what is desired is to freeze out grass-roots participation, and keep things neatly bundled up to be run by a would-be elite group. NOT the way to go!

If this were implemented, the Chief would seriously think about affiliating with the Whigs instead of the GOP, to get away from the RINOs once and for all!

H/T to Dakota War College for this one - he has a really great post that spells out the gory details at greater length, so if this catches your attention, go check it out....nothing to disagree with there as far as the Chief is concerned.

Disclosure Notice: The Chief is currently a precinct committeeman, and just completed two terms as GOP County Chair, and has been involved in GOP activity since Youth for Goldwater days. (Sheesh - thinking about THAT could start to make a guy feel a bit of the mileage!)

In a previous post I pointed out how government dependency that is being promoted by the socialists are creating problems of poverty and results in the lost of our freedoms. I also made the point that the MSM is promoting...

Greyhawk's must-read post on the "Kodee Kennings" fake-o-rama that plagued the SIU-Carbondale school newspaper: There are two types of Iraq war veterans that have a tremendous appeal to the anti-war crowd - the fictional and the dead. Both types have...

[This post has been bumped to appear on the top of the page, all day today. Scroll down for new posts.] Time for a Hurricane Katrina blogburst. Instapundit wants a post recommending relief efforts to donate to, and here are...

New Orleans has entered one of those "worst case" scenarios: The City of New Orleans Is Devastated. Those were the words of Mayor C. Ray Nagin and based upon a major breach of a levee system, water is flowing into...
