Kerry's Own Diary: Still Had Not Been Shot At Nine Days After Receiving Purple Heart From "Hostile Enemy Fire"

Full article is linked here.

Awesome.

Now that Kerry's own contemporaneous diary contradicts his later claims and his self-nominated first Purple Heart, you think there's a slender chance that someone in the liberal media might bother himself to ask a question?

And don't forget about the SwiftVets, if you've got some spare change jangling in your couch.

Update: A blog called Public Enquiry Project reports that even Joshua Micah Bucephalus Hezekiah Boutros-Boutros Mellencamp Marshall is fretting that the SwiftVets' allegations and ads are cutting into Kerry's support:

Before the ad, 41.94% of Independents intending to vote for Kerry felt that they would “definitely” vote for him; 37.10% felt “most likely” to vote for him; 20.97% were “leaning” towards him; and none were “not sure.”

These levels of commitment changed markedly after viewing the Swift Boat ad. Independents “definitely” voting for Kerry dropped to 29.03%. Those “most likely” to vote for him were relatively unchanged at 33.87%. Those “leaning” towards Kerry dropped to 9.68%. Finally, Independents “not sure” of their initial choice of Kerry increased substantially to 27.42%. This substantial change attests to the effectiveness of the Swift Boat ad’s attacks.

Thanks to FreeRepublic for posting both items.

Small Update: Bill From INDC has a short post linking articles found here. The really cool thing is his version of the Drudge Siren.

I wish I'd thought of that.

Update: Wizbang is blogging the living hell out of this issue today. Just keep scrolling, as they say.

Let me just say:

I am the textbook example of an infuriating "moderate Republican," wishy-washy on red-meat conservative issues like gay-marriage or other social questions, willing to reflexively engage in omphaloskeptic self-criticism, always attacking the rhetoric of my more partisan brethren...the aggravating Chuck Hagel of the Republican foot-soldiery rather than the gung-ho Tom Delay type.

And yet my one reaction to this is:

YEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW!!!!

I'm happier than a Vietnamese Catholic celebrating Christmas '68.

You know what the perverse thing is, Ace? (And my father, an ex-intelligence officer, holds the same opinion on this score as I do.) It's not so much that I want Bush to win as I want this motherfucker Kerry to lose.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.
Also: Ukranian drones have destroyed damaged [CBD] over 147 Russian warships and shadow fleet oil tankers in the Black Sea over the past ten days.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.
