Aloha Snackbar: When Honolulu Hears "Nah" But Does the Opposite Anyway Folks, buckle up for a story about democracy, island style. Apparently, in the paradise of Hawaii, the will of the people goes about as far as a mai tai on a hot day – it evaporates quickly and leaves you feeling a bit parched. Let's talk about Senate Bill 3196, a little ditty relating to firearms. Now, according to reports, the good people of Hawaii weren't exactly chomping at the bit for this bill. In fact, testimony against it ran 5 to 1, which, in most places, would be a pretty darn clear message. But hey, who needs pub ..read more

U.S. Drone Warfare: All the Fun of the Fair Until the Neighbors Get Toys Okay folks, let's get real. Remember those good ol' days when the U.S. was basically the kid with the sweet Nerf gun collection, raining foam darts of "democracy" down on unsuspecting countries? Yeah, turns out other nations took notes. Now, everyone's getting their hands on drones, and suddenly, it's a whole different ballgame. Let's be honest, the U.S. has been the reigning champ of remote-controlled mayhem for a hot minute. We've buzzed weddings, funerals, you name it – under the noble guise of fighting terrorism, of ..read more

I don’t talk about it outside a tight circle of people, but recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury is a difficult and emotional journey. As a person that could remember 10 digit grids on-the-run, not being able to remember the six digit security code between apps on the phone was scary. After a few years of diagnosis and unsuccessful conventional treatment, Heroic Hearts Project offered me an alternative treatment in Costa Rica. It changed my life and created a path to recovery. Five years later, I’d confidently say that my memory is 95% recovered, I’m happier, and just about everything in lif ..read more

致: PRC 尊敬的员工 Although most won’t recognize your historic effort, I wanted to be one of the first to do so publicly.  You executed one of the best military campaigns in history.  This will likely be written as one of the most pivotal moments in human history.   A tale as large as Alexander the Great, executed with the brutality of Genghis Kahn, and more sinister than Hitler.   In less than two weeks, you leveraged a proxy force to defeat a standing army funded and trained by the “greatest” Western powers in the world.  The planet stared in shock and awe of the hum ..read more

Asbestos is just one of the numerous toxic agents that veterans came in contact with while they were on active duty. Other harmful substances that are responsible today fo ..read more

Veteran’s Day is emotional for a lot of us.  Old profile images on social, loving texts from friends and family, and memories refreshed of the times that made you the person you are.   When you sit and listen to Veterans, you can to learn a lot.  The best lesson learned from a fellow veterans was the power of saying, “I love you.” No Shit, There I Was… It was about midnight in Salt Lake City.   A group of five or six veterans and a handful of athletes were in town for the Outdoor Retailer Show.  The group was departing the bar for the evening in a mixture of hands ..read more

Hi Everybody,    It's Monday and time for your update on the Afghan Peace talks.  We're in week two of the talks and things seem to be moving at the pace you would expect to reconcile a two-decade long war with key international players involved. This is going to take a while...    While the talks are going through their political processes, the Taliban is continuing to strengthen their positions around the nation with lots of money, drugs, and violence.  They've been pretty successful with it to date, the roadblocks are minimal, and it's a proven recipe for succ ..read more
