Now, the Rest of the Story

With apologies to the late Paul Harvey. Never did 4 posts in one day. Maybe it’s like the condemned enjoying a last meal. Maybe it’s to see if shorter posts will encourage more traffic. Doubt if it will make much difference soon anyway.

Obama Tells Gold Star Mother: Controversy Over Saying ‘Islamic Terror’ is Manufactured
I’M SO SICK OF THIS PRICK I JUST WANT HIM TO GO AWAY.
After thanking her son for his ultimate sacrifice and expressing his condolences for her loss, Obama proceed to lecture her about his refusal to use the term, saying that the issue has been “manufactured.”
“The truth of the matter is that this is an issue that has been sort of manufactured because there is no doubt and I’ve said repeatedly, that where we see terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda or ISIL they have perverted and distorted and tried to claim the mantle of Islam for an excuse, for basically barbarism and death.
SO, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT…. YOU’RE SAYING DON’T CONDEMN A GROUP FOR THE ACTIONS OF A FEW.
LIKE POLICEMEN, GUN OWNERS, CHRISTIANS? LIKE THAT?

Obama to Gold Star Mom: Saying Radical Islam Lumps “These Murderers” In With a Billion Muslims

THIS JERKOFF DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HER
And that’s a slippery slope. And — and — and the way we’re going to win this battle is not by betraying our ideals, it’s by making sure that we hold true to our ideals and one of our core ideals is — is that, you know, if you’re an American and you are, you know, subscribing to the ideals and the creed and the values that we believe in as a country, you know, then we don’t have a religious test in this country.
TAPPER: Just to interject…
OBAMA: Yes?
TAPPER: — you were clearly talking about the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, just then. You think his…
OBAMA: No, I wasn’t. But…
TAPPER: You weren’t?
OBAMA: — I — because — no, I — I…
TAPPER: Well, you just said…
OBAMA: — I would just say this, Jake, because…
TAPPER: — aspiring to this office…
OBAMA: — no, but it’s not — it’s not — it’s not unique to the Republican nominee. And — and, again, I’m I’m trying to be careful. We’re on a military base. I don’t want to — I don’t want to insert partisan politics into this.

The problem with Hillary’s appeal: It’s all ‘me, me, me’
“Her campaign is all about her, and there is nothing about what she has done in her years in politics that has any concrete value for me,” the 33-year-old says. He’s voting for Donald Trump.
Nemick’s viewpoint is shared by many Democrats outside the big cities. And it’s confounded not only the political class inside those cities but Clinton herself.

Egomaniac President Thinks Americans Are “Not Inspired” To Vote This Year Because “Barack and Michelle Are Not On The Ballot This Time”
OLD PURPLE LIPS IS CAMPAIGNING FULL TIME TO TRY TO CARRY HILLARY’S DEAD ASS OVER THE LINE
“If you don’t vote, that’s a vote for Trump,” Obama said during an interview on “The Steve Harvey Morning Show” broadcast Wednesday. “If you vote for a third-party candidate who’s got no chance to win, that’s a vote for Trump. So the notion somehow that, ‘Well, you know, I’m not as inspired because Barack and Michelle, they’re not on the ballot this time, and, you know, maybe we kinda take it easy’ — my legacy’s on the ballot. You know, all the work we’ve done over the last eight years is on the ballot.”

California Governor Signs Bill Giving Felons Right to Vote
THAT’S RIGHT… THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR FELONS NO LONGER IN PRISON. THEY’LL SOON CHANGE THAT TO ALLOW THOSE “DISENFRANCHISED” FOLKS STILL VICTIMIZED BY THE RACIST PENAL SYSTEM
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BLACK AND HISPANIC DEMOCRAT VOTERS
DON’T BE SURPRISED IF HILLARY PUSHES FOR THIS ON A NATIONAL BASIS AFTER SHE GETS INTO OFFICE

Trayvon Martin’s Parents Sign Book Deal To Write ‘Rest In Power’
I’M BETTING NEITHER ONE OF THESE MEDIA PARASITES EVEN FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL.
EVERY DAMN WORD OF THIS FANTASY WILL BE WRITTEN BY SOMEBODY ELSE… COUNT ON IT.
LOOKS LIKE HE JUST REMEMBERED HE FORGOT TO PUT ON UNDERWEAR
“It first brings Trayvon back to life as the full, three-dimensional, complex kid he was, through his parents’ eyes,” Jackson said. “And then to the dark and confusing days following his death, which slowly transform into the blossoming of a powerful, historic movement for change and healing that we’re still watching unfold five years later. Everyone who’s been reading the manuscript is in tears by the second chapter.”

Labor Secretary: Scalia’s Death Makes it Easier to Unionize
WAIT UNTIL SHE GETS THAT FIFTH JUSTICE. THEN IT’S ALL OVER.
At The Atlantic’s Washington Ideas Forum on Thursday, Labor Secretary Tom Perez casually noted that Scalia’s death helped pave the way for union membership across the country.

“Well, I think you have all these — there’s an unmitigated assault on labor unions across a number of states and there was a case that went before the Supreme Court recently, and frankly if Justice Scalia had not passed away it would have really made it very difficult for public sector labor unions to organize,” Perez told Rattner.

Broken Promises Abound At State Dept.-Funded Nonprofit Run By John Kerry’s Daughter
Dr. Vanessa Kerry’s nonprofit – called Seed Global Health – pledged to send 90 volunteer doctors and nurses to between 10 and 14 Third World countries in 2016, documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show. Instead, just over 70 volunteers were sent to only five countries.
The Department of State has given Seed a total of more than $9 million since 2012, which was funneled through the Peace Corps, as TheDCNF previously reported. Kerry’s nonprofit began missing contractually-required targets almost from its outset.
But instead of penalizing Seed for failing to fulfill its contractual obligations, the Peace Corps lowered Seed’s requirements and extended its contract with more non-competitively awarded funds provided by the State Department, documents obtained by TheDCNF show.
BEING THE OFFSPRING OF A POWERFUL DEMOCRAT GASBAG DOES HAVE ITS REWARDS

Fed Chair Does Not Believe Fed Official in Negotiations With Clinton Campaign Is Conflict of Interest

HEY,IT’S NOT LIKE ANYBODY’S GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER FOR IT.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen does not believe that a sitting Fed governor who votes on monetary policy that is negotiating with the Hillary Clinton campaign for a future job is a conflict of interest.
In a House Financial Services committee hearing Wednesday, Rep. Scott Garrett (R., N.J.) questioned Yellen about Fed governor Lael Brainard, who has donated to the Hillary Clinton campaign while serving as a sitting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, the policy arm of the Federal Reserve that meets eight times a year to vote on monetary policies such as interest rates. The Fed consistently maintains that it is an independent, non-partisan institution.

The Day That Changed The World

Seventy-two years ago today the battle to free an oppressed Europe that had been subjugated to five years of unspeakable terror began. The combined forces of the free world began to wrest a continent from Nazi aggression. Fortunately we were educated at a time when it was accepted that the people who gave all in the cause of liberty were heroes. We were taught there is a right and wrong, good and bad, and black and white. Nowadays there is no black and white, everything is pastel, and children are told that we were the aggressor. The re-writing of history began after the union took hold of the teachers and the focus shifted from fact to political ideology.
The nation was fortunate to be led by men of honor and principle back then. There is no circumstance under which we could be united as one, making the sacrifices that had to be made to survive as a free people. There are too many lazy, willfully ignorant people who whine to be protected and have their lives planned for them by an over-arching government. It appears Almighty God granted us a few more decades back then until the Sodomites began the decay of what was built on a faith in Christian ideals. These are the people who paid for the freedom we had at one time.

THIS IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY FROM ALLIED SUPREME COMMANDER, DWIGHT DAVID EISENHOWER. IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL, ANY DEMOCRAT WHO COULD ISSUE THESE ORDERS WITH CREDIBILITY.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Order of the Day

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces:

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.

Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

***********************************************

We made these warriors and those who came after them a promise to care for them in exchange for what they secured for us. Sadly, we have reneged on those promises in the most shameful ways imaginable. Many of those who served with honor are pushed aside in favor of people who invaded our country illegally and take what should be given to those who truly are deserving. Gomorrah is in sight and we are rushing toward it unabated. At least these brave heroes bought us a little more time. I fear that soon it will all be for naught.

Military Mom is NOT happy!

2016_05 03 Trump war crimes

UCMJ, Section 16c(1)(c):

Lawfulness. A general order or regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States, or lawful superior orders or for some other reason is beyond the authority of the official issuing it.

UCMJ, Section 14c(2)(a)(i):

Inference of lawfulness. A order requiring the performance of a military duty or act may be inferred to be lawful and it is disobeyed at the peril of the subordinate. This inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime.

The Good News and the Bad News

The good news is that my cataract surgery yesterday was a success. According to my checkup today my vision is now 20/20.
Shockingly, the nurses all remembered me from my first procedure 4 weeks ago. DW says sometimes I’m like a bloody wreck with multiple fatalities that you witness. You never quite forget the trauma. When the anesthesiologist came by to meet me, I said: Pump a gallon in me, Allen, then slip the juice to me, Bruce. He asked me what I was talking about, so I started singing the 1956 psycho-billy classic, Transfusion, by Nervous Norvus. This will mess with your head.

TODAY’S FEEL-GOOD MOMENT:
Sniper Decapitates ISIS Leader Teaching Beheading Class

One minute he was standing there and the next his head had exploded. The commander remained standing upright for a couple of seconds before collapsing and that’s when panic set in. We later heard most of the recruits deserted.
The Dan .338 bolt-action rifle features a .338 LAPUA Magnum bullet which tumbles end-over-end once it hits flesh, displacing the liquid within a body in a process called “hydrostatic shock.” Once the bullet hits a body it creates a large cavity within the target, leaving a massive wound as it exits. To see an example of how this process works, watch the video below.

SO MUCH FOR THE GOOD NEWS
Just as predicted, the democrats are whining about GOP “obstructionism” for planning to block Barry’s judicial nomination. They sang a different tune when George W. was in office. After all the uproar, nobody doubts he’ll get what he wants one way or the other. The end justifies the means. That’s how they roll.
In other news, the reply section has:
Hillary barking like a dog (I wish I were kidding)
A former victim telling how Bent Penis used to put on her frillies and play his saxophone
Donald Trump again threatening to go third party
Gary Sinise giving a shoutout to the troops
The White house giving a shoutout to worthless punk, Kanye West (but has no time for dead policemen)
A few other things.

As for me and my house

Dear Lord, Please place a hedge of protection around all our law enforcement and military members that no harm may come to them. Grant them wisdom as they determine which leads are worth following, that they may be successful in averting disaster. Amen.

To Be Called a Veteran

A veteran I know emailed me the link to the article below.  It made me tear up with pride in and love for our veterans, so I just had to share it here in its entirety.  The original source is linked at the bottom.

Soldier with angel shadow

I have a friend named Cal. He is quick to smile, and quite dashing, even at 80. He’s one of those people that even after just one conversation you think, what an amazing person – I am so glad I met him! He just retired from his third career. He loves his God, he loves his wife and he loves his country – and all of this is evident in all that he does.

The funny thing about a lot of older veterans is that despite their fierce pride in the military and the men and women they served with, you might never know they are veterans. A very humble group of people – not quick to toot their own horn.

Cal’s first retirement was from the Army as a Chief Warrant Officer 3, after serving multiple tours in Vietnam.

One night, after eating dinner, my husband and I got to share our own deployment stories with him and his wife. As it turned out, a lot of the things we remembered about our own deployments were pretty much the same, whether fighting in Vietnam or Iraq. Cal’s only response was “Sometimes, it’s good to talk to Army folk.”

And he is right. It is good to talk to Army folk. It’s good to talk to people who have gone through something that no one really gets unless they have done it themselves – it’s what truly makes us brothers and sisters in arms.

My Uncle Terry is also a Vietnam veteran, he was a platoon leader and after only a few months in country, he was shot. Apparently, he almost died leading from the front and protecting his men. The doctors said that there was no logical explanation for him surviving- a real miracle.  The Marines awarded him the Silver Star. But all Uncle Terry ever told me was that being a Platoon Leader was the best job he ever had.

Then there is our friend Jack and his buddy Ed. I ate dinner with Jack and Ed the day Jack’s son, my husband’s best friend, was posthumously presented with the Distinguished Service Cross for tackling a suicide bomber and saving the lives of all of his Soldiers.

I had the greatest time talking to Ed. He kept asking me questions about my time in the Army, and it never occurred to me to ask him much about himself. I found out later, Ed Freeman was a Medal of Honor recipient made famous in the movie “We Were Soldiers.”

Ed and Jack flew together in Vietnam. On the same day that Ed disobeyed a direct order and flew into the battle of Ia Drang Valley, saving the lives of many Soldiers, Jack was on a mission elsewhere in the country.

Not a word about this from either of them – both so humble.

People like Cal, Uncle Terry, Jack and Ed are who I think of when I think of Veterans. These are some of the best men I have ever known. They served their God, their family and their country with love in their hearts and no complaints. And when they think back on their military service – they remember fondly the phenomenal men and women they served alongside.

I’m not sure I will ever deserve to be lumped into the same category as them when my military career winds down, but I hope that our next generation of veterans will be able to look at me and say I lived up to this standard. If they do, then maybe I will have earned the title veteran.
