What says our resident squirrel whisperer?

Hanta virus is a notable exception about mice and disease, especially so in New Mexico.

Regarding the A-10; before it could operate over the Straits (strafes) of Hormose the USAF and USN had to eliminate Iranian air defenses and fighters. The US Marines fly Sea Cobra attack kelicopters which can deal with Iranian speed boats as can US Army Apache AH-64s.

From the videos I’ve watched, like “Squirrels at the Window,” (https://www.youtube.com/@Squirrels_at_the_window) it’s a long, slow process of feeding squirrels, letting them get a bit closer, being safe … lather, rinse, repeat. It takes months, even years.

Squirrels, like mice, are almost never disease carriers. If they get into a house, they can chew stuff up. They have to. Their teeth never stop growing!

Max Afterburner, a mil blogger, is bullish on the entry of Warthogs into the Iran War. I’m not conversant on the Warthog’s virtues, so I looked into it. Here’s an excellent YouTube for those interested in the details:
________________________________

The US Navy destroyed 120 Iranian warships — and Hormuz is still closed. Two carrier strike groups, eight Aegis destroyers, and $40 billion in naval firepower couldn’t reopen a six-mile shipping lane clogged with 1,500 fast boats. The answer wasn’t a newer ship or a bigger missile. It was a 50-year-old Air Force jet the Pentagon wanted to throw away.

________________________________

So the Warthog is a Goldilocks solution to the Strait of Hormuz — not too fast, not too slow, not too expensive. A slow, maneuverable, well-armored aircraft built for taking out slow-moving targets, such as Iranian speedboats, cheaply.

The right tool for the right job.

You gotta love the name!

Good catch.

This is one of the reasons, beyond Superman’s motto, “Truth, justice and the American Way,” that I’m optimistic about the 2026 midterms.

Trump/DOGE haven’t cut off all the government money grifted back to Democrat campaigns, but they have swung the axe and taken out some of it.

When Gerard lived in Paradise, his neighbor on the backyard side seemed to have tamed a squirrel. It would climb onto his shoulder and stay there. And yet it was a wild squirrel that lived in the yard. Not sure how he accomplished this feat. Not even sure it was a good idea either for the man or the squirrel. But it was quite a sight.

John Solomon speaking at CPAC shares news of China and Ukraine laundering 200 million into Joe Biden’s re-election campaign in late 2022. Tulsi Gabbard has declassified NSA phone call intercepts. The investigation into these events and who conducted them is ongoing.

“The United States government, the National Security Agency, intercepted conversations of President Zelensky’s government in Ukraine in 2022…conspiring with federal workers at the USAID to come up with a plan to take $200 million dollars of USAID money, that is your money folks, taxpayer money, route it through a series of transactions, move it into the United States, and launder it into Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign and the Democratic National Committee.”
