[February 4, 2026] Just a few crazy items I found on X and thought them interesting enough to share in my Clearing the Spindle: Chaya’s Clan @ChayasClan Satire is a form of humor that is used universally, but English-speaking nations seem to have an unusual flair for using it to attack the most outrageous situations. In this satire… Read More »
[June 29, 2025] From his X account, the Vigilant Fox @vigilantfox provides today’s Clearing the Spindle list for us. I also want to highlight his social media because he seems to have excellent political instincts. Please consider joining his paid prescription services to receive the latest and best analysis of what’s happening in America. Here are ten things… Read More »
[February 4, 2025] I’m back with my Clearing the Spindle posts, and this time, I’ll focus on the wacky world of America. It seems that Progressive-Leftists (it’s hard to classify these folks) are off the sanity rails. Sit back, read, think, and enjoy the irony: Salem, ORE. – Mexican nationalists surrounded a Salem Police officer at a protest… Read More »
[August 12, 2023] Wow, my phone has been ringing off the hook. The wild and crazy things going on over the past day or so make it hard to dig into the details, so I am putting out one of my ‘clearing the spindle’ articles. Initially, I would write about lessons from the Hawaii wildfires that killed at… Read More »
[May 10, 2023] These last few weeks have given us plenty of things to laugh about and make fun of, especially for those who enjoy watching hypocrisy in action. Yes, we are all hypocrites, often as children (which may be excused somewhat) but also as adults. Progressive leftists use this as a bludgeon on their political enemies, and… Read More »
[April 4, 2023] I came home on April Fool’s Day from five days in the hospital, limping from pain in my stomach (and my back), dizzy from painkillers, but happy to finally be sleeping in my bed and with my lovely wife, and having my dog sitting next to me. Sometimes I might lose sight of what is… Read More »
[March 11, 2022] “Learn to connect the dots, Satterfield.” My commander was on my case about not properly using our military intelligence to properly position my Infantry Company in an upcoming training battle. I thought I was doing a good job, obviously not. I was not able to make the mental leap from the many intell inputs to… Read More »
[October 4, 2022] The American mid-term election is only a month away, and my cell phone is already filling up with text messages, emails, and phone call messages. But 2024 is not that far away either. Some things are predictable, like Hillary Clinton wants to run again in 2024 for President. So does Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and… Read More »
[June 3, 2022] Want to be the “adult in the room?” Well, that’s darn easy these days. Just speak the truth. Easy, huh? Nope. Our society turns its collective head away from the most commonsensical, essential truths that made us who we are. This is not about the mental sewer you find on Twitter or the fake friendships… Read More »
[January 21, 2022] I’m sick of wokism. Wokism, a pernicious ideology that has wrecked grief and misery upon all of us because it requires, at its very core, a soft tyranny bordering on fascism, destroying the unfaithful and crushing our souls. It is the forced acceptance of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual preference as the fundamental defining characteristic… Read More »
