As an antidote to the rather doomladen content I’ve been posting, and in the spirit of BW being a community, I thought I’d share one of my favourite recipes. It is a Tudor recipe, and I won’t be giving scientifically exact details. It’s quite an unusual flavour for modern palates, feel free to vary the […]
Report from the Federalist Society: “On May 20, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling in the case of Herrera v. Wyoming. In Herrera, the Court encountered the question of whether a portion of an 1868 treaty between the Crow, a Native American tribe which today resides on Montana reservation land, and the […]
For those of you who may have missed the email sent out to BillWhittle.com members, here is the link to “The Best of Afterburner” the E-Book PDF. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive this in my inbox today, and I immediately read “The True Story of the Atomic Bombs” over lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed […]
This time in India, where the incumbent party not only won, but won a crushing landslide. Btw, I don’t know if the BJP or INC are good or bad for running India. I’m just pointing out what is a very strong global trend of election polling not measuring up to results. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/india-election-results-modi-remains-favored-to-win-as-counting-starts/2019/05/22/830b9f60-7cb4-11e9-b1f3-b233fe5811ef_story.html
Forgive me if this has already been posted, but us Straoloungers saw the note Bill left last night. It’s always risky to speak for others, but I think it’s safe to say that the TSL crowd all wish her the speediest and least painful recovery. Also, Bill, don’t sweat it if we can’t do TSL […]
Daytime tv constantly probes new depths in the downfall of our culture. Today’s new low: Paternity Court. Where adulterous women attempt to prove that their children are their husband’s despite their numerous affairs. The various adulterers are displayed alongside the respective children to gauge their resemblance. At some point what I presume is the husdand’s […]
I recently posted an Answer on Quora regarding a Tweet by British police, showing a lot of ordinary, kitchen implements, turned over to police to be “disposed of correctly & safely”, wondering what that said about such a society. This led to a vigorous defense of British culture by a stalwart, English gentleman. Of course, […]
The green new deal is retardation at its finest, even talking about anything of it being good shows a lack of intelligence to see that the whole thing is a political stunt written by people who don’t understand even the most basic of things. We are worried so much about pollution here in the […]
Good reporters get interesting tips. John Solomon has been on spygate the longest with the best sources. A meeting in his driveway started that. The objective of the whittle blowers was to protect FISA or the equivalent capacity because without it we are blind to terrorist and other threats but political abuse puts the tools […]

My dad was my hero. He served in the Marine Corp for the majority of his adult life, entering the service when he was 16 and retiring almost 28 years later, but went on to work in civil service at the exact same job he held while he was on active duty. He was involved […]
A story from my Wednesday evening in the pub with my mates. While we discussed how Moslem lasses didn’t used to wear niqabs when we were younger, (it says a huge amount that this by no means an unusual conversation in pub these days). A friend who is a recently retired Met police Sgt told […]
I sat on my bed last night watching a YouTube Interview with actor Richard Dean Anderson (RDA) filmed at a science fiction convention held in Canada recently. The end of this interview can be found at the following link: Now while I am somewhat ambivalent about the TV show MacGyver, I did find the interview […]
