    Posse Chicagotatus?
    2025/08/25
    Today on Dave Does History, Dave is out, but the show rolls on with Lena Marlowe and Graham Calder in the host chairs. Together, they tackle one of the thorniest questions in American public life: should the National Guard be used to police our cities? Chicago often takes center stage in this debate, with violent crime making national headlines and sparking calls for action beyond what local law enforcement can manage. But bringing in the Guard isn’t as simple as it sounds. From the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 to the Insurrection Act and beyond, the legal and historical backdrop is a minefield. Lena and Graham weigh the potential benefits of increased manpower and order against the dangers of militarizing our neighborhoods and blurring the lines between soldier and police officer. Stay tuned, because this is one conversation that reaches far beyond Chicago.

  • The Routine of Torpedo Offloads and Berth Shifts in San Diego

    The Routine of Torpedo Offloads and Berth Shifts in San Diego
    2025/08/25
    In August 1958, USS Queenfish (SS-393) was back in San Diego after her WestPac deployment and quickly moved into a maintenance phase. The deck log shows that beginning on August 21 she entered an availability period, and over the following days the crew oversaw the offloading of her torpedoes. This was standard practice before any yard period, both for safety reasons and to allow overhaul work in the torpedo rooms. The log notes entries where torpedoes were struck below, removed, and transferred off the submarine, marking the transition from an operational posture to one focused on repair and upkeep .

  • The Battle fo the Eastern Solomons

    The Battle fo the Eastern Solomons
    2025/08/25
    The summer of 1942 in the Pacific was not so much a season as it was a meat grinder. The United States had been reeling since Pearl Harbor, lurching from one setback to another, and only just beginning to claw its way back. Coral Sea in May had been a draw that felt like a moral win. Midway in June was a spectacular success, the sort of thing that Hollywood scripts itself around, where four Japanese carriers ended up at the bottom of the ocean. But the war was nowhere close to finished, and Japan was far from beaten.

  • Over a Cracker Barrel

    Over a Cracker Barrel
    2025/08/24
    In this episode of What the Frock, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod belly up to the breakfast table to dish out a hearty helping of truth behind the Cracker Barrel controversy sweeping social media. Did the CEO really say, “MAGA doesn’t have to eat here”? Spoiler alert—she didn’t. But that didn’t stop the viral outrage machine from firing up the griddle. The hosts unravel how a fake quote, amplified by conservative influencers and fed by clickbait culture, plays right into the hands of a shadowy steakhouse overlord: Sardar Biglari, the largest shareholder in both Cracker Barrel and its rival, Steak 'n Shake. Then it’s back to 1678, as Rabbi Dave draws a shocking comparison to the Popish Plot and the deadly power of unverified hysteria. It’s all biscuits, pamphlets, and manipulation this week—served hot, with a side of hard truth. Pass the scones and settle in. This one’s for your brain, not your belly.

  • USS Ronquil’s First War Patrol

    USS Ronquil’s First War Patrol
    2025/08/24
    The USS Ronquil (SS-396) was a Balao-class submarine, one of the many steel predators the U.S. Navy sent into the Pacific during World War II. She carried the name of a humble spiny-finned fish from the waters of the Pacific Northwest, but her business was far from small. Commissioned on April 22, 1944, under the command of Lieutenant Commander H. S. Monroe, Ronquil’s steel frame stretched over 311 feet, her two propellers driven by the throb of Fairbanks-Morse diesels and Elliott electric motors. She carried ten torpedo tubes and a 5-inch deck gun, but what mattered most was the crew of eighty-one who would have to take her into combat and bring her back again.

  • The Kweilin Incident

    The Kweilin Incident
    2025/08/24
    On August 24, 1938, the world crossed a terrible new threshold. A China National Aviation Corporation Douglas DC-2 named Kweilin lifted off from Hong Kong with eighteen people aboard. It was clearly marked as a civilian aircraft, painted with mail insignia and the letters CNAC across its wings. But that did not matter to the Japanese fighters that intercepted it over the Pearl River. The pilot, an American named Hugh Woods, managed a brilliant emergency landing on the water, saving everyone from the initial attack. Then came the unthinkable. The fighters circled back and strafed the helpless airliner and its passengers until fifteen were dead. This was the first time in history a civilian airliner had been deliberately shot down. In today’s episode of Dave Does History, we revisit the Kweilin Incident, the survivors, the victims, and the way this single act of brutality changed the history of aviation.
