Scum Bowl

12 Comments

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.

If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE IN ALL UPCOMING ELECTIONS. MOST OF THE IDIOTS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY SAY ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE KNOWING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THEM IN DO NOT PAY ATTENTION

LET’S SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT!!!

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER

A Poem

2 Comments

From my best friend, fellow “Swinger of Birches, (which I  doubt anyone knows what that term means today), brother, and life-long editor, a piece of prose for the day. Thanks you Dennis, God bless you sir!

Memorial Day Celebrations, 2017, at Cemeteries Across the Land

A million American flags, and more, will be unfurled,

And invited dignitaries will righteously attest,

In our many scattered consecrated parks

Where our true American heroes rest.

 

Some will issue a lofty proclamation

To confirm our most robust determination,

And voice why this day is deemed solemn,

Why we today remember our many, many fallen.

 

When their spirited dialogs fade,

The forlorn bugles sound,

As the eerie strain of Taps

Echoes o’er those hallowed grounds.

 

All across our indebted nation, wherever stone statues stand—

From Arlington National, in all directions—proudly, American flags, way upon way.

Will we then take one moment to stroll these sacred lands,

Noting names etched in granite whose uncommon valor won the day.

 

Will we express our gratitude to those who gave their all,

Honoring their selflessness while fulfilling duty’s call,

And pay full measure to their sacrifice so gallant, so brave,

As we silently nod our head towards each and every grave?

 

When the sun is setting, and we all are roving home,

Will we pause with pride and honor, and marvel at that we have seen?

And promise to ourselves, and those who silently repose,

To return more often conferring on all who rest there our utmost esteem?

 

Amen

What a Dirt Bag!

What a dirt bag, and his Dad wanted to be my VP so he could tell be a role model and tell us all how to raise children who have respect for the law and those who enforce it?

Linwood Michael Kaine, a son of former 2016 Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, faces criminal charges for allegedly joining in an anti-Trump riot to attack supporters of President Donald Trump in March in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Authorities charged the 24-year-old Kaine with “fleeing police on foot, concealing his identity in a public place, and obstructing legal process,” according to a detailed Twin Cities Pioneer Press report. “When people seek to prevent others who are peacefully assembled from making their voices heard, it threatens the very foundation of our democracy,” a local attorney said Friday after the charges against Kaine and seven others were announced.

Police said Kaine was allegedly part of a violent, masked group:

Security officers saw five people dressed in black leaving the Capitol, including one who threw a smoke bomb inside, according to complaints filed by the city attorney’s office. They went to a nearby spot and “tried to change their appearance by doing things like taking off their black clothing, putting on different jackets or hats, and turning their clothing inside out,” the complaints said.

When police approached, they scattered and ran. Steve Frazer, who was then a St. Paul police senior commander, chased a man who was later identified as Woody Kaine.

A Mar. 7 Twin Cities Pioneer Press report states that Kaine allegedly fought with police after being part of a group that threw a smoke bomb in a government building during a rally for President Trump:

Clad in black and wearing a mask, the youngest son of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine wrested himself from the cop and then “squared off” with him.

Woody Kaine, 24, was among five masked, black-garbed people suspected of lobbing a smoke bomb minutes earlier inside the Minnesota Capitol rotunda Saturday afternoon.

Officers had chased him down, but Kaine wasn’t about to submit, according to a more detailed account provided Wednesday by St. Paul police.

In the end, it took three officers, a “knee strike” and a chemical spray to subdue Kaine after he was identified as one of the counterprotesters [sic] who allegedly used fireworks or a smoke bomb to disrupt a rally in support of President Donald Trump at the Minnesota State Capitol, according to police spokesman Steve Linders.

Less than two months before his son was arrested after the anti-Trump and anti-free speech riot, Kaine said on MSNBC that progressives must “fight in the streets” after Trump’s election.

“What we’ve got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box, and now there’s the momentum to be able to do this,” Kaine told MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski on Jan. 31.

After his son’s arrest, Kaine issued a statement that did not appear to condemn his son’s alleged actions. Of course not, that not a Democratic trait. They have to spin it and the takes time to figure out how to do it.

“We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues. They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully,” Kaine said, as reported by Breitbart News.  Oh, really? The apple does not fall far from…..well you know the rest.

On Friday, a Kaine spokeswoman doubled down, ignoring allegations that Kaine had taken part in smoke-bombing the Minnesota State Capitol and attempting to dismiss the severity of fighting police officers.

“Today’s announcement of misdemeanor charges against Sen. Kaine’s son contains no suggestion that he engaged in disruptive behavior while at the rally,  (really? Wonder what the charges would be if it were a son from a poor neighborhood?) but are instead focused on his actions as he was arrested after he left. Tim and Anne support their son and hope the matter is resolved soon,” she said to the Twin Cities Pioneer Press.

Kaine was charged the same day the New York Post revealed that police arrested a prominent Democratic leader, Jacob Schwartz, with ties to Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook, for child pornography charges, for allegedly having thousands of photos and videos of showing “young nude females between the approximate ages of 6 months and 16, engaging in sexual conduct… on an adult male” on his laptop.

Read some of the comments, they are better than the article. LOL

When will this ever end?

As “Cryin Chuckie” Schummer” would say: We are a country of immigrants. Yep he’s right, but that was long ago Chuckie, too bad you weren’t in that car!

By Cheryl K. Chumley – The Washington Times – Thursday, May 11, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

The DUI suspect who plowed his car into a family driving home from Disneyland, leaving a 6-year-old with serious head injuries, was an illegal immigrant who’s been deported 15 times in the last 15 years.

Yet another instance of an accident that never should have happened. Go sanctuary cities, right Democrats?

The crash occurred in San Diego’s San Ysidro district, about a block from the family’s home.

“We heard the tires screeching, but it wasn’t like the screeching of stopping, it was like the screeching of accelerating into the turn,” said Benjamin Lake, the father, who said his son, Lennox, was strapped into a car seat in the back of their vehicle at the time of collision, NBC 7 reported. “I saw bright lights and the next thing I know, I woke up with airbags deployed.”

Emergency responders found the mother unconscious and Lennox with various head and body injuries, including a fractured skull and bleeding from the nose and ears.

The suspect, meanwhile?

Well, he fled the scene, along with his passenger. Investigators found them about a half hour later, several miles from the scene, in a truck that matched the description of the involved vehicle.

Constantino Banda-Acosta, 38, now faces charges of driving under the influence, driving without a license and felony hit and run. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said he was a Mexican national and has been deported 15 times in 15 years. His passenger, unnamed, was also an illegal who’s been previously deported.

To Democrats, these two are victims, though — worthy of protection from the deportation storm.

The boy, meanwhile?

“Right now, he has a lot of swelling and can’t open either of his eyes so he’s scared about why he can’t see,” his father told KSWB.

What a tragedy — and the fact that Democrats, with all their open borders messaging and pro-sanctuary city policies, would side with the illegals over the innocent boy in terms of legal representation and constitutional protection is just despicable.
