I delayed posting on this subject until the storm and rage from my Marine and Navy friends on the internet and in phone calls died down. Actually, they haven’t stopped, but at least it’s only a dribble now. I’ll not belabor the point because my stand on the subject closely resembles what my friends are saying, and perhaps you will agree as well. So, I’ll be brief and wait to see your thoughts.
This was number 60, and I remember number one and every one after that, especially when my favorite team of the time, the Baltimore Colts, played in numbers 3 and 5. This game is highlighted as the greatest sporting event of the year in America. And for that POS Goodell to have booked a halftime show featuring some singer I don’t know who sang in a foreign language is the most egregious thing I have ever experienced in my lifetime.
I spent nearly 36 years of my adult life serving this once-wonderful country, giving much of my blood, sweat, and tears, and to see such a slap in the face of true Americans was totally unacceptable to me. I did watch a minute or two to see what all the huppla was about. Once I saw it, I changed to the alternate half-time show with Kid Rock, as did millions of Americans.
So, here is my stand. My TVs will never be tuned to any NFL game until the team owners speak out as true Americans and shit can that POS Goodell. I’ll watch NCAA football. In fact, I’ll watch girls’ flag football before I allow that SOB Goodell to embarrass my country again.
But then again, of course you will because anything that POS president does is no surprise anymore. We LOVE our Gov!
DeSantis On Biden Flying Illegal Aliens Into Florida: ‘I Will Send Them To Delaware On Buses.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) unloaded on Democrat President Joe Biden during a press conference on Thursday over reports that the Biden administration has used contractors to fly dozens of planes into the state of Florida carrying illegal aliens.
DeSantis’ remarks come after an illegal alien who posed as a minor, but was really in his early twenties, illegally entered the U.S. at the southern border. It’s not clear how he arrived in Florida, but once there, he allegedly murdered a father-of-four.
“There’s no notification to the state of Florida,” DeSantis said as he described the process of how the Biden administration sends illegal aliens into his state. “These are done mostly in the middle of the night. And it’s clandestine. And we really have no say into it. … I know when we initially got wind of this, it wasn’t through normal channels, it’s people in the federal government who are effectively leaking this to us so that we have a heads up on it.”
DeSantis lambasted Biden over separate reports that the administration was preparing to pay illegal aliens potentially up to hundreds of thousands of dollars each if they were separated at the border from their families under the previous administration.
“The President has said that basically, they want to even pay reparations to people who came illegally, just think about that,” DeSantis said. “You as an American, you get higher gas prices, you get higher grocery bills, you get told basically, to just grin and bear it, someone breaks the law, comes illegally, and they’re going to cut him a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is just unbelievable. But that’s what we’re dealing with.”
DeSantis said that the flights started back in May and that Florida law enforcement agencies are engaged on the matter. DeSantis said that he would like to put the illegal aliens that Biden drops into Florida on buses and ship them to Biden’s home state of Delaware.
“You know, my view would be, why don’t we, if they’re going to come here, you know, we’ll provide buses,” DeSantis said, “I will send them to Delaware and do that. I mean, if he’s not going to support the border being secured, then he should be able to have everyone there. So, we will do whatever we can in that regard. And we are absolutely going to do everything we can.”
DeSantis said that Florida was looking at ways of going after the contractors that the Biden administration was using to fly the illegal aliens into the state, saying, “we should be able to have consequences for those contractors and your ability to do business in Florida I should absolutely be curtailed based on whether or not you’re bringing problems or not bringing problems.”
DeSantis further noted that even though Florida is suing the Biden administration in court, that doesn’t mean that the administration will listen to the courts.
“But even then, you saw what happened with the OSHA decision,” DeSantis said. “It was stayed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, meaning not in effect, and what did the Biden administration say to businesses? Ignore the court and follow our rule anyways. And so, I think that they basically said, ‘No, to hell with these court decisions,’ they’re going to do whatever they feel like doing. And so that’s something that’s problematic, because we can even win in court, and they may disregard guard that.”

What the hell happened to States Rights? Who does this POS think he is? This is a Republic, States have rights, but this imbecile doesn;t know it, mor if he does, he really doesn’t care. He’s simply a puppet.
Yes, parents of all color wake the hell up and get active. Actually, you do not need to be a parent in a particular school to be on the district school board. All you need in most cases is to live in the district! I totally agree with Greg about making school the Numero Uno issue for all elections, local, state, and federal. That is exactly why Virginia turned blue, it had everything to do with educating their youth and the parents were pissed! Wake up, you need to speak up and take action.
Education’s woke up call
By: G. Maresca
Former U.S. House Speaker Tip O’Neill notably said, “all politics is local” and at its most fundamental is your school board. It is the only political office that a Pennsylvania state employee can actively seek. It is also the most crucial when you consider who and what the politicking directly impacts and influences – children.
Throughout our fruited plain once routine school board meetings have devolved into a 21st century “Gong Show” thanks to the COVID shutdown last year.
The resulting lockdowns galvanized parents to get more involved with their children’s education like never before. Virginia’s Democrat candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe, iced the cake saying, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”
Perhaps McAuliffe had in mind what Vladimir Lenin infamously said, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”
School boards are accountable to parents, and the community who elect and support them through taxation. You pay your taxes to get your children educated – not programmed. Public schools are the vanguard for leftism where parents are “domestic terrorists” if they disagree with Critical Race Theory, genderless bathrooms, libraries supporting pedophilia, mask mandates, and racial preferences for admissions.
The National School Board Association declared these boisterous encounters as “heinous actions” that rival “domestic terrorism.” Rather, it is partisan politics that are overtly hypocritical. Black Lives Matter rioters could burn buildings, loot, and harass and are labeled peaceful protests.
With schools compelling partisan political propaganda on unsuspecting children, parents are finally pushing back. School boards are not beholden to any educational associations, teachers’ unions, or even a U.S. president. Such unwary hubris of the education bureaucracy must hear from not just parents, but every American.
Economist Thomas Sowell summarized the situation as only he can: “Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.”
No parent wants to be censured about their child’s education that in many instances is the indoctrination to wokesim. Leftists pontificate how history, math, English are racist, and any parent who challenges that narrative must be silenced through fear of reprisal as the left has weaponized agencies like the IRS and now, the FBI.
The leftist trinity of diversity, equity and inclusion have replaced critical thinking, logic and debate. This trendy catchphrase may sound enticing, but the results are tragically incompatible with our longstanding constitutional republic.
Much of public education in our country leaves kids far behind in reading, math and science. Moreover, some school districts are doing away with gifted programs because of race quotas. Such policies only accelerate America’s dumbing down by eliminating merit that results in children failing to achieve their full potential.
Admitting the most qualified applicants benefits a student body. Racial makeup should be irrelevant to qualifications and ability. Preferences are established when race is the priority rather than the qualification.
These policies result in qualified applicants being denied admission for diversity’s sake that benefits no one across the educational spectrum. The only color that should matter is the applicants’ grey matter.
Excellence rather than mediocrity should be paramount.
As Martin Luther King suggested, when do we start treating people based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin? Rather than handing out a passing grade, why not challenge and strive toward excellence? Telling minorities, they can’t make it without special quotas only handicaps them further.
Equality under the law by allowing school choice without having to pay twice – once for public and a second time for private education – is the solution. The government monopoly of public schools must end. Republicans need to make education the issue leading up to the November 2022 midterm election. This would help push the pendulum back and jump start many in breaking the cycle of dependency.
In defense of freedom, education plays a critical role in maintaining liberty. At the core of every school board meeting should always be what is best for our children.
What is best for them is best for America’s future.
Oh, and by the way, Happy Veterans’ Day my brothers and sisters.Semper Fi, Jim, USMC (Ret)
Marines, beware, you are not going to like this story — trust me. We are more worried about wokeness and evicting extremists from our ranks. And we got our asses handed to us because we no longer train to fight and win. I find myself speechless. I have no idea what I will say tomorrow night in Phoenix. Help me Lord
Trounced on home turf: British Royal Marine commandos force US Marines into humiliating surrender halfway through five-day war training exercise in Mojave desert
British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps’ Twenty nine Palms base in California
Combatants used training ammunition along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery
Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be ‘reset’ halfway through
Royal Marines commandos ‘dominated’ US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today.
British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps’ Twenty Nine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.
The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.
Combatants used paintball-style training ammunition, which fires with reduced pressure and velocity, along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery, and live ammo on expansive ranges.
Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be ‘reset’ halfway through the five-day exercise, having taken significant casualties from British commandos.
Troops from 3 Commando Brigade and Taunton-based 40 Commando had spent the last two months in the Mojave Desert preparing for deployments next year.
Their time in the US culminated with the five-day simulated conflict Green Dagger, which is designed to test the US Marine Corps prior to units deploying overseas.
The mock battlefield covers more than 3,500 square kilometers of mountainous and desert terrain, including urban settings where actors, who are not following a script, play civilians who can choose to help or hinder the military forces.
The Royal Marines trained with counterparts from the US, Canada, UAE and the Netherlands in the weeks before the main exercise.
The British forces achieved their victory by targeting the American headquarters and equipment, severely hampering the ability of US combatants to launch counter-attacks.
Artillery units also concentrated on eliminating vehicles and opposing artillery.
A long-range commando assault with fighter jet support eventually defeated the American forces, who had launched a last-minute attack but were repelled.
British forces were trailing the new Littoral Response Group (LRG) structure, which will be the new template for commandos – who are to become more flexible and mobile under reforms directed by First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin.
LRGs are Royal Navy task groups centered around commando forces and set up to respond to world events.
Following the restructuring of the Marines, NATO’s northern and Baltic flanks will be covered by the UK-based LRG (North).
LRG (South), built around Taunton-based 40 Commando, will be based around Oman’s port of Duqm, operating with a focus on British military activity in the Indo-Pacific.
Each LRG will be capable of working with the carrier strike group to assemble an expeditionary strike force which can operate anywhere in the world.
The exercise focused around three urban sprawls which were defended by allied forces, the largest of which consisting of 1,200 buildings purpose built for military testing.
The Marines won decisive battles early on and gained ground from their enemy, but amid a US Marines counter-attack, commandos carried out raids behind enemy lines.
The exercise concluded with a last-minute assault by US forces, which was repelled.
‘Our success has proved the new commando force concept is more lethal and sophisticated than ever before and I am immensely proud of every member of the LRG and their vital contributions,’ said Lieutenant Colonel Andy Dow, Commanding Officer of 40 Commando.
‘Operating alongside our partners from the USA, Netherlands, Canada and the UAE gives us a fantastic opportunity to test, integrate and continue to push our capabilities in new and innovative directions.
‘Throughout this deployment our focus has been on integrating game-changing capabilities from across the commando force to deliver disproportional effect in the face of a free-thinking peer adversary.’
There is so much more to this story should you want to peruse it along with lots of photos taken during the exercise. Of course this article was obviously written by a Brit (spelling), and he made some errors e.g. we were born in 1884. The Corps has come out and rebuffed this article, but one would expect that. Please go to::
It’s hilarious what you will find in the comments if you go to the story. Marines trying to justify this disgrace with historical quotes that don’t mean squat in this day and age. Get real Marines, we are losing our edge, or perhaps we have already lost it?
Another good one from my good friend Greg, thanks Greg, this one is very fitting and timely BUT, I have one that will follow along on this one and be a barn burner for many, especially we Marines. Be sure to read when I post it tomorrow. Trust me, you will be sick Marines. .

Not knowing why Veteran’s Day was on a Thursday and not part of a three-day weekend was somewhat perplexing to a recently minted government employee. There is a historic tradition why some holidays like Christmas, New Year’s Day and the 4th of July are standalone celebrations.
Veteran’s Day is one of them.
Given its history and place on the Gregorian calendar, why couldn’t the Great War have ended in June, July, or August? It just so happens that World War I, the war to end all wars, ceased on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918. For some it must be frustrating having a holiday in early November when the days are short, the skies overcast and the mercury doing a daily descent.
To take a society’s emotional temperature, listen to what folks complain about. As we approach this Veteran’s Day many who served in the nation’s armed forces are concerned about the trajectory of where our military, and thus the nation, is headed.
As the Chinese fly dozens of sorties into Taiwanese airspace probing their defenses, the Biden administration counters by naming Rachel Levine an honorary four-star admiral of the U.S. Public Health Services Commissioned Corps, the first “woman” to reach that rank. “Rachel” is Richard, a biological male and father, who never served in any branch of the military.
Where is that army of ardent feminists as a male living under the aberration of being a female is bestowed such a title?
Do you believe the Russians and Chinese play pretend like we do?
Hoist that rainbow flag to let the enemy know we mean business as soon as they pick the right dress for war.
Such a dubious sideshow draws attention away from the folly of the Biden administration that recognizes global warming and COVID as more tactical enemies than communism and the piecemeal dismantling of the Constitution by American Marxists.
Besides developing viruses, the Chinese are working diligently on weapons’ systems that include their recent launch of a hypersonic nuclear missile which flies below radar, expanding their navy from a green water fleet to a blue water one, while enlarging their nuclear arsenal and learning to fight the next generation of war: cyberspace.
Provided our armed forces continue to serve more as a social experiment than a fighting force, it is guaranteed we will pay an immense price in blood and treasure on a future battlefield.
Rather we counter with “Rachel” Levine, Critical Race Theory, a bungled Afghanistan defeat and forced vaccinations.
If Afghanistan was a “logistical success,” as Gen. Milley defined it, then what retreat wasn’t? The top brass are a bunch of trick or treaters with more ribbons than brains. What would have been the result had the U.S. squared off against the Axis powers in World War II with a woke president and military joint chiefs where social justice is priority one?
The only thing our military is working at hypersonic speed is the implementation of wokeism.
Recently, the navy failed to execute basic shipboard firefighting aboard USS Bonhomme Richard and lost a ship with 15 years of service left. However, they did plant some trees as carbon offsets, so award those humanitarian service medals.
Navy SEALs seeking a vaccine religious exemption are being coerced into compliance. Not only does such harassment intrude upon their First Amendment rights that they swore to uphold, but it is detrimental to our national security.
Global warming and social change are not the military’s mission.
Our military superiority will cease provided we continue to politicize the armed forces, while discharging those who do not adhere to the woke policies of the Biden administration.
There are about two billion people residing in freedom thanks to the sacrifice of the U.S. military over the last 241 years. That is as noble an achievement as any in history and November 11 has been set aside to honor those who have made and continue to make that sacrifice.
Those who have honorably served make up only seven percent of the population.
For them, take a few minutes to right our ship by contacting your Congressional representatives and urging them to act and what better time than Veteran’s Day.
I fly out tomorrow to be the guest speaker for a group of Marines in Mesa, AZ for their Birthday Ball. I have been perplexed now for weeks trying to come up with something to talk about, and am stymied. Now today, I read an article that saddens me to no end about my beloved Corps. Now I am really baffled as to what to say to the Marines Saturday night. Lord, I need your help. I will post the article tomorrow a.m. before I depart for the airport. STANDBY MARINES!!!!
