Monday Morning Collusion et al

Here's our latest bit of Kremlin Collusion in which we converge Trump, Tom Brady, Bruce Springsteen and the reprobates in the GOP-E. Not everyone  can work the Super Bowl into a Soviet...sorry, Russian news article. We are very good at what we do:  'Last Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV (55). This was the 7th Super Bowl victory for the Buc’s starting quarterback Tom Brady (the guy who takes the ball and throws it). Without a doubt, Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time and one of the greatest athletes in American history. Brady is also a friend of Donald Trump’s. Some in the increasingly Woke sports world have criticized Brady for not disavowing the former president and remaining his friend. Everything in America today is political, even the television commercials.' Click it.

Yesterday we and Mrs. Stroock shopped for dishwashers and other kitchen appliances. Our main concern was making sure nothing was made in China. Otherwise we stood back and let the woman decide what she wants while we nodded in agreement. That's Superior grade husbanding right there, young fellas.

Back at the gym. We did the rope pully, stair master, and rowing machine. Muscles tired sore and flexed and we hobbled around the house for a bit. It felt great. We're taking today off. We feel better physically and mentally than we have....well since the Wuhan Virus from Wuhan China hit and we couldn't go to the gym. That's four gym days in a week. Just perfect. We're hoping to get that up to five or even six. Feet feel fine. 

So far the Substack thing is going, ok. The text from Word goes on the page exactly as shown. We got those maps from reprints of US military monographs written in the 1970s. Getting similar maps going forward will take some planning. Our latest piece on Nixon's war in Cambodia is up:  'On 29 April 1970, over 50,000 American and South Vietnamese troops invaded Cambodia. The Cambodian Incursion, as President Nixon preferred to call the invasion, marked a new phase in the Vietnam War and the beginning of the war for Cambodia. That war would end five years later with the triumph of the communist Khmer Rouge.'

All this Cambodian reading is kinda sorta putting us in mind to open a Vietnam War reading project. We've never read much about it, so why not? A book on Tet, a book on Abrams, a book on Westmoreland, the Easter Offensive, and finally the fall of South Vietnam. We have titles in mind already. Reader(s) know how we like a good reading project. Remember the Russia thing and the War Between the States last summer? Both were very profitable, personally.

We've asked for further Substack subject ideas and the South Africa bush war came up. Which is fine because we can pull and publish two Bush War articles here. We have a tight 3,000 word overview and a longer piece about the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale. So that's probably where will go next. We've got tons of 1,000 FYI articles we wrote for those cheap bastards at Strategy & Tactics. We'll just throw one out there now and again regardless of subject matter.
