“Fort Cavazos Soldiers Have Been Without Proper Access to Food for Months
One of the Army’s largest bases has been barely able to keep its food services up and running for months, according to soldiers stationed there and dining facility schedules reviewed by Military.com.
The situation at Fort Cavazos, Texas — previously known as Fort Hood — has left some junior enlisted with few options for meals, as top officials on base struggle to juggle logistics while most of its cooks are on deployments, missions or serving field training and other events.
The base had only two of its 10 major dining options open every day for much of the summer, with three others open only during limited times. The closures forced many soldiers to drive long distances across base, sometimes an hour round trip for their meals.
But not all junior soldiers have vehicles, and the base provides only a limited shuttle service, with none dedicated to dining facilities. The service is so limited that some service members interviewed by Military.com didn’t even know it exists.
I can’t even describe to you how unfathomably disgusting this situation is, especially with soldiers in Texas facing 100+ heat as they try to survive their work day on substandard, or nonexistent nutrition.
The cause?
At the heart of the issue is the dining facilities not having enough Army cooks to run them. A rotation to the National Training Center, or NTC, and support for a cadet training exercise at Fort Knox, Kentucky, took many cooks off base.”
"The situation at Fort Cavazos, Texas — previously known as Fort Hood — has left some junior enlisted with few options for meals."
🔥 Let’s check in on the developing Biden Bribery story, which continued slowly dripping this week. The Federalist ran a story yesterday headlined, “Comer Demands National Archives Fork Over Info On Biden’s Business Pseudonyms.”
As early as 2021, reports based on Hunter laptop emails surfaced that Joe Biden had been using a variety of odd pseudonyms in his emails and maybe elsewhere. But, thanks to a coordinated media—deep state effort to discredit the laptop, combined with pandemic confusion, the story never went anywhere.
The story may have been lost, but it looks like it wasn’t forgotten.
On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer formally demanded the National Archives cough up any document or communication containing any of Joe Biden’s several aliases, including “Robert L. Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware.”
The Ware Group was a notorious communist spy ring that infiltrated a bunch of American institutions during the 1930’s, such as labor unions, universities, research institutions, arts and literary circles, media organizations, political groups, and government agencies. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
Comer recently revealed one of Biden’s other pseudonyms, Robert L. Peters, was used in an email referencing an official government call with Ukraine’s president — but Hunter Biden was copied, for some reason. Biden’s pseudonomous email address is (or was) Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov.
It’s sufficiently weird that a government official, never mind the vice-president, would be using a variety of email aliases. At minimum, it evidences a conspiracy to thwart public records laws. But the above email also gave the lie to Joe’s repeated claims that he never mixed Hunter’s business with government business. Never ever. Not one single time.
We’ll see what the Archives delivers, if anything. That’s the same group that was persecuting Trump over classified presidential records, so you can imagine they won’t be falling over themselves to help.
Anyway, if Joe Biden wants us to call him Bob Peters, that’s fine with me. I’m easy that way.
Or we could just call him JoeBob…much more relatable to so many of us lowly serfs….
I have to agree with your opinion of Kristol. He and Kagan headed the Project for the New American Century which pushed for NATO expansion and the Iraqi invasion. I understand both sides disputing NATO expansion but the Iraq invasion was a disaster.
I’ve argued against every American war or support of war since I was old enough to remember and yet I’m in the uncomfortable position where I actually support one side in a war. My right wing friends are in somewhat of a shock as they went from supporting war everywhere to saying not this one (Ukraine) and see me going in the other direction. For me – its European values – liberal and social democracy vs authoritarianism.
Not surprised some of the funding for Kristol’s group comes from the UK which is probably collecting it from other sources including Ukraine and Poland. Money of course is speech no matter the origin of the money. Citizens United among other decisions and rules has allowed American elections to be for sale.
Not sure why anyone would think Duckworth calling for stronger voting rights is funny. Any attempt to strengthen the democratic process is a good thing.
Republican leaders are hedging their bets. They’ve discovered there is room for an anti-Trump position in the Republican. I think they are too late with this position, but it will make the upcoming debate more interesting – look for more than just Christie to come out swinging against Trump. And with him being absent, it might stick. On the other hand, Trump has nothing to gain and everything to lose by showing up at this debate.
It will be interesting to see who draws the most viewers – Tucker or FOX? Will viewers switch from one to the other? Will Trump make comments that will violate his bail conditions? Will there be a train wreck in either show?
I like Goldman and by attending the whole of Archer’s testimony he gained more credibility than the Republicans who left early to tweet. He’s wrong on Shorkin though – Shorkin was dismissed because of pressure from the EU. Appeasing the EU is far more important than appeasing VP Biden. The amount of money the EU hands out will make any European country listen.
The Republicans made far too many errors in the Hunter story. They promised the moon and then failed to deliver. They should’ve kept expectations low and slowly built a case. Some like Comer appear to be using the Hunter story as a means to increase their own national profile. The litany of errors started when Rudy Giuliani who should know better broke the chain of custody with the laptop. And then you have Greene displaying dick pics in the Congress and then sending it to her constituents via email blast (and no knowledge of the age of the recipients). No wonder no one but Republicans party loyalists are taking the story seriously. And they complain the media won’t take the pseudonym story seriously – how do they know Biden’s pseudonyms? If it’s from the laptop – the chain of custody problem invalidates it. And if they have other sources – why not reveal it? Similar to the private hearings for the whistleblowers and Archer; the lack of transparency is a problem.
The cook story at Fort Hood is weird. Obviously a middle management staffing issue – someone didn’t notice that there would be enough cooks when some left for training. Given this is the army, why not assign some regular infantry to the kitchen and have them learn a new skill? And is the base so large that physically fit soldiers can’t walk to a mess? My principal, who I view as incompetent, would do a better job of covering for absent cooks.
The ammo and shell shortage is not unique to the US. And for the most part, it’s a hurry up and catch up as the industry adapts to the demands of the Ukraine war. If it’s any consolation, China has an ammo and shell shortage, too. One of the reasons, they’ve been actively seeking a peace agreement for the war – they were very active at the Saudi peace conference and are pressuring Russia through back channels – is their own lack of war materials. And with the domestic issues they face – for example a real estate bubble ready to break; they want no distractions.
“NEW: CNN host Jake Tapper admits “Trump was right” about Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings and “Biden was wrong.”
You don’t say… Maybe Trump was also right to ask Zelensky about Biden family corruption.
Despite being reluctant to admit Trump was right, Tapper tried suggesting that Biden may not have known his son was making millions of dollars overseas, specifically in China.
“But I mean, Trump was right. He did make a fortune from China, and Joe Biden was wrong.” Tapper said. “I don’t know if he was lying about it. He might not have been told by Hunter.”

Another presidential election must be approaching… these federal judges are leftists who are subverting the US Constitution, fair and honest elections, and the will of the people in both Texas and Georgia.
“Federal judges in Georgia and Texas have struck down key provisions of elections laws passed two years ago as Republicans sought to bolster election integrity as allegations of fraud and other irregularities during the hotly contested 2020 presidential election fueled calls for elections to be made more secure.
In Texas, U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez nixed a provision in state law that required officials to reject mail-in ballots with ID numbers that don’t match the ones on voter registration forms, according to a summary judgment issued on Aug. 17 (pdf).
The now-abolished provision required that mail-in ballots be rejected if they bear a different Texas driver’s license number or ID number of the voter than what was on their original application for voter registration.
Another provision in Texas law that Judge Rodriguez struck down was a requirement that a mail-in ballot can only be accepted if the ID number on the carrier envelope or signature sheet matches the number on the voter registration application.
The court ruled that the provisions, which were adopted in September 2021 as part of Texas Senate Bill 1, violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Justice Department characterized the restrictions contained in the now-voided provisions as “errors or omissions that are not material in determining whether voters are qualified” to vote or cast a mail ballot.
“The District Court’s decision affirms what the Justice Department has argued for nearly two years: these provisions of Texas Senate Bill 1 unlawfully restrict the ability of eligible Texas voters to vote by mail and to have that vote counted,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
The ruling originates from a lawsuit filed in 2021 by La Union Del Pueblo Entero against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that challenges multiple provisions of Senate Bill 1, including the two that required voter ID numbers to match.
When Mr. Abbott signed the bill on Sept. 7, 2021, he hailed the measure as bolstering vote integrity amid persistent doubts about election security in the wake of the 2020 election.
The bill created uniform statewide voting hours, maintained and expanded voting access for registered voters in need of assistance, prohibited drive-through voting, and authorized poll watchers to observe more aspects of the election process.
“Senate Bill 1 ensures trust and confidence in our elections system—and most importantly, it makes it easier to vote and harder to cheat,” Mr. Abbott said in a statement at the time. “Safe and secure elections are critical to the foundation of our state.”
The bill also banned the distribution of unsolicited mail-in ballot applications and gave voters with defective mail-in ballots the opportunity to correct the defect.”
Porn Literacy is an ambiguous term. Even my province’s so-called controversial health curriculum doesn’t include porn literacy. However, perhaps it should – students watch porn and have no tools to judge it. They need to be told it’s not real, its fiction, etc. There’s a whole sub genre of “reluctant” porn where a woman initially says no but after a while enjoys it – this is obviously misleading and gives young men wrong ideas. There are times I’d love to simply say – porn’s not real, its like watching Fast and Furious for driver’s ed yet I know, HR will come calling.
Define porn literacy and set up boundaries but it needs to be taught.
I have gender fluid novels available in my gr 7/8 classroom but I would not make them available in a gr 5 classroom. There’s a difference between gr 6 and 7. They are available for group literature circles but I make kids aware of the content if they choose it. To ignore or deny existence the gender fluidity and sexual orientation is impossible at this grade as many students will be aware of a fellow student who is gender fluid or has a different sexual orientation. The internet for better or worse has made students more aware at an earlier age.
There’s a whole lot of instant legal experts since the RICO charges dropped. I’m interested to see how the trial develops but not interested enough to actually read the actual indictment. There seems to be events at the core of the conspiracy – Trump’s call to find votes and the examination of voting machines in a rural Georgia county by Republican officials and Trump staff. RICO basically allows a prosecutor to charge everyone with a felony if one person commits the felony (personally I think the law is overreach). All the prosecutor has to prove is personal connection to the illegal activity. I do wish they would hurry up and have the trial – I go back to work soon and won’t be able to watch if it happens in the winter.
oops I forgot to also mention the meetings held to create fake electors and calls made to Republican governors to overturn results
Islam like Christianity has different interpretations and practises. My school board trustee is a young hijab wearing woman who ran a joint campaign with my LGBQT activist city councillor. A second generation Muslim young man could view increasing homophobia at the mosque as a result of domestic politics as opposed to Islam itself – personally he’s naive yet its a possible viewpoint.
The Koran condemns homosexuality but so does the OT yet that doesn’t stop the diversity of viewpoints you find in churches and mosque. The Koran forbids alcohol yet Bosnian and Albanian Muslim will argue he meant alcohol addiction not responsible use and besides this was a cultural rule and doesn’t apply to Europeans.

The ruling originates from a lawsuit filed in 2021 by La Union Del Pueblo Entero against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that challenges multiple provisions of Senate Bill 1, including the two that required voter ID numbers to match.
When Mr. Abbott signed the bill on Sept. 7, 2021, he hailed the measure as bolstering vote integrity amid persistent doubts about election security in the wake of the 2020 election.
The bill created uniform statewide voting hours, maintained and expanded voting access for registered voters in need of assistance, prohibited drive-through voting, and authorized poll watchers to observe more aspects of the election process.
“Senate Bill 1 ensures trust and confidence in our elections system—and most importantly, it makes it easier to vote and harder to cheat,” Mr. Abbott said in a statement at the time. “Safe and secure elections are critical to the foundation of our state.”
The bill also banned the distribution of unsolicited mail-in ballot applications and gave voters with defective mail-in ballots the opportunity to correct the defect.”

Porn Literacy is an ambiguous term. Even my province’s so-called controversial health curriculum doesn’t include porn literacy. However, perhaps it should – students watch porn and have no tools to judge it. They need to be told it’s not real, its fiction, etc. There’s a whole sub genre of “reluctant” porn where a woman initially says no but after a while enjoys it – this is obviously misleading and gives young men wrong ideas. There are times I’d love to simply say – porn’s not real, its like watching Fast and Furious for driver’s ed yet I know, HR will come calling.
Define porn literacy and set up boundaries but it needs to be taught.
I have gender fluid novels available in my gr 7/8 classroom but I would not make them available in a gr 5 classroom. There’s a difference between gr 6 and 7. They are available for group literature circles but I make kids aware of the content if they choose it. To ignore or deny existence the gender fluidity and sexual orientation is impossible at this grade as many students will be aware of a fellow student who is gender fluid or has a different sexual orientation. The internet for better or worse has made students more aware at an earlier age.

There’s a whole lot of instant legal experts since the RICO charges dropped. I’m interested to see how the trial develops but not interested enough to actually read the actual indictment. There seems to be events at the core of the conspiracy – Trump’s call to find votes and the examination of voting machines in a rural Georgia county by Republican officials and Trump staff. RICO basically allows a prosecutor to charge everyone with a felony if one person commits the felony (personally I think the law is overreach). All the prosecutor has to prove is personal connection to the illegal activity. I do wish they would hurry up and have the trial – I go back to work soon and won’t be able to watch if it happens in the winter.

oops I forgot to also mention the meetings held to create fake electors and calls made to Republican governors to overturn results
Islam like Christianity has different interpretations and practises. My school board trustee is a young hijab wearing woman who ran a joint campaign with my LGBQT activist city councillor. A second generation Muslim young man could view increasing homophobia at the mosque as a result of domestic politics as opposed to Islam itself – personally he’s naive yet its a possible viewpoint.
The Koran condemns homosexuality but so does the OT yet that doesn’t stop the diversity of viewpoints you find in churches and mosque. The Koran forbids alcohol yet Bosnian and Albanian Muslim will argue he meant alcohol addiction not responsible use and besides this was a cultural rule and doesn’t apply to Europeans.
