News Weakly - 10/25/2025

What Could Go Wrong?
In California, the U.S. Marine Corps put on a demonstration during a celebration and fired live rounds near Interstate 5 to detonate in Camp Pendleton. I mean ... what could go wrong? Well ... one round exploded early and sent shrapnel into a CHP patrol car. That's what could go wrong. Nice job, guys.

No Kings Stupidity
Another "No King" protest this week. They're angry about the democracy that elected the man they love to hate and to attack everything he does because he does it (because all their own people have done the same sorts of things). Ignoring the facts (like the checks and balances provided by the legislative and judicial branches), they intend to overthrow the democratically-elected government in favor of the government of their choice ... not because they represent a majority, but because they want it. They are an existential threat to democracy.

PC Gone Crazy
The San Jose Sharks apologized for an offensive message displayed on the arena's scoreboard. What was this horrible message? "SJ Sharks fans love ice!! Get 'em boyz!" Because, they ... you know ... play on ice and are an ice hockey team and ... clearly are supporting ICE -- Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Come on. This is a case of people unable to think looking for an offense. It demonstrates the impossibility of communication with people bent on prejudice rather than dialog. (Like the whole Platner tattoo kerfuffle.)

Your Best Source for Fake News
I liked the story about the Blue Jays starting the World Series with a 7-run deficit because Trump imposes a tariff on foreign teams. There were a lot about Trump's plan to remodel the White House. In one, Trump is on his 73rd trip to Home Depot since the start of the renovation. I'd say that number is low. Then, combining the "No Kings" protests with the renovation story, they write about his renovations to the White House Throne Room. My favorite story, of course, was about how successful the "No Kings" protests were. America will now still not have any kings.

Must be true; I read it on the internet.

With California's fear of guns and the Left's hatred of the military right now, I'm amazed they even okayed it. And the military's overconfidence in it's munitions is a bit high. I half expected it to come out that someone deliberately sabotaged the round in an effort to disgrace the Corp. That's where we've gotten today.

No Kings Stupidity
I'm glad we can all agree that we don't want any kings. The stupid thing is that there were some associated protests in other countries that do have kings, so it just tells you they simply don't know what they want. They should have just been honest and made it a "No Trump" protest, you know, so they could be more inclusive. Think of all the kings that don't like Trump that couldn't protest with them.

I could see the confusion if like in most sign boards it was in all caps. In context, it really could have gone either way. As for the tattoo, I could see not knowing what that symbol meant. I didn't until it came up. But for him to go 20 years without anyone saying anything? The problem I have is the Left's double standard. If he'd been a Republican they'd want him drawn and quartered. But since he's a Democrat, it was youthful indiscretion, he's a good man now, let's ignore it.
