My Perfect day

January 20, 2017

  1. President Donald trump and Vice Carly Forina are sworn into office.
  1. In a rare event on inauguration day, Congress convenes for an emergency meeting to repeal the illegal and unconstitutional Socialist healthcare farce known as Obama care. The new Director of Health and Social Services Dr. Ben Carson announces that an independent group of healthcare management professionals is hired to handle healthcare services for poor and low-income people. They are also assigned the duty of eliminating Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Government’s costs for public healthcare are reduced by 90%. Healthcare insurance premiums for working Americans are reduced by 50%. The move saves billions of taxpayer paid dollars. Healthcare service in the U.S improves 100%.
  1. Newly appointed department of Homeland Security Chief Joe Arpaio announces the immediate deployment of US troops to the U.S. Mexico border to control illegal immigration and the immediate deportation of illegals with criminal records or links to terrorist groups. New bio-encrypted Social Security IDs are required by every American citizen. Birthright is abolished. All immigration from countries that represent a threat to the safety of American citizens is terminated indefinitely. The move saves American taxpayers billions of dollars. Several prisons are closed.
  1. Newly appointed Secretary of Business and Economic Development Ted Cruz eliminates more than half of the Government agencies operating under the Obama administration saving taxpayers billions of dollars. Stocks rise 100%.
  1. Newly appointed Director of Government Finance Rand Paul announces the abolition of the IRS and displays a copy of the new Federal Tax Return form. It consists of one page. The instructions consist of two pages. The Federal Reserve is audited. The move saves American taxpayers billions of dollars and increases tax revenue.
  1. Hillary Clinton is in jail. Bill bought a the Playboy mansion in Las Vegas. Her cell is directly across from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who are serving time for a lifetime of tax evasions and “hate crimes.” She bitches at them constantly from behind the bars of her cell in what some might call cruel and unusual punishment.
  1. Bernie Sanders is in the nuthouse. His room is directly across from Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chris Matthews, Rachael Maddow, and Al Franken. They meet for tea every day at ten and discuss the success and benefits of Communism and Socialism throughout the world. They also wonder when the “mother ship” is going to pick them up and return them to their home planets.
  1. Windows 12 is released. It is designed for humans, doesn’t try to satisfy the needs of every person on the planet, doesn’t require a degree in nuclear physics to operate and looks just like Windows 7 except it is easier to use.
  1. Barack Obama flees the United States under cover of darkness and returns to his homeland of Kenya before his trial for treason begins. He deplaned on a remote jungle airstrip. It was reported that he was last seen wandering through the jungle singing “Hakuna Matata” with an ugly chimp named Valerie.
  1. Oscar Meyer announces the introduction of a new cholesterol and fat-free pepperoni that tastes just like regular pepperoni.
  1. Not to be outdone, Kraft Foods announces the introduction of several varieties of cholesterol and fat-free cheeses that taste just like regular cheese.
  1. A committee is not established to determine what is causing global cooling. Billions of taxpayer dollars are saved.
  1. Raquel Welch calls me, crying. She tells me it was a big mistake dumping me back in 2000 and begs me to take her back. I decline, explaining that I am happily married. She is devastated and cries for days. Justice is served.
  1. Dead people are no longer allowed to vote in Chicago, a huge blow for the Democrat Party in Illinois.
  1. I receive a call from an attorney in Scotland. He explains that I have inherited a single malt Scotch distillery and a coastal estate in Ireland from a distant relative and that I need to be there as soon as possible to sign the papers. Ten hours later we tour our new vacation home. There is a red Aston-Martin in the garage, also part of the inheritance.

And that, my friends, constitutes MY PERFECT DAY!!!!!!

A Muslim Speaks Out!

WARNING: This video contains some rather strong language, I don’t suspect it will bother any Marine, but others — I don’t know?

Having said that, it is encouraging to see a Muslim finally speak out against the horrible atrocities committed by his fellow Muslims. In fact, if I were him, I’d be careful, he just may find himself as a target of the scumbags to which he speaks.

Homeland

1 Comment

I have never watched this show, but I will certainly start to do so. Maybe I can find it on-demand and pick it up from the beginning. Quinn has it right while the rest of the folks at the table haven’t a clue. Strategy? What strategy? Our president  is nothing more than a Chicago street hustler; he was elected for all the wrong reasons. He came to the job with zero qualifications to lead the largest democracy in the world, nor was he qualified to be our commander-in-chief. I have an idea where his heart is, but it certainly is not in America. We have to put up with this feckless fellow for 14 more months and during that time he will do everything he can to weaken our resolve, and that includes weakening our military to where they will become ineffective. The sad thing is the average American could care less. Watch this clip and you decide for yourself who is right, the idiots sitting around the table who are representative of our elected and appointed leaders, or Quinn.

A Must Read Part II

1 Comment

Dennis has now published Part II of his article on terrorism VS immigration. It is another great read and one I consider a must for anyone wondering what is going on in our once great country. Might I even suggest you send the  links or a copies of both articles to your elected officials. I already have, especially to our infamous scumbag Durbin the Socialist Friend. Go to:

Secretary without honor: Voices

6 Comments

6/16/2023 UPDATE: I posted this in 2016, and based on what is going on today with Trump, I decided to repost it bc I believe it is pertinent.  A lot has happened since the original post regarding folks in various positions disregarding the procedures for handling classified documents, some of whom are in jail while others are not. I am not condemning Trump bc I strictly believe in innocent until proven guilty, albeit the media doesn’t adhere to that dictum.

All I am asking is why isn’t this bitch in jail? Well, that’s an easy one to answer. Because she is a democrat. Over the years we have developed two sets of standards, one for  them and one for republicans. I liked what Pence recently said when he threw his hat in the ring for this next election. He committed himself to cleaning up the entire Dept. of Justice. The entire system is wrought with injustice; lady justice is not blind anymore.

Anyway, I reposted this one just to get into the fray. This thing with Trump will last a long time and will certainly not play out before the primaries. It will be interesting.

It is an interesting story line. BTW, when this was posted several ask what happened to Capt Chapman. He did, in fact, die from a scuba accident while stationed in Okinawa in 1979.

Stay Tuned.

This is a must read for anyone even considering voting for this person in the upcoming election. As one who grew up in the Marine Corps and imbued with the Honor, Courage, and Commitment with which the Corps adheres, I must vehemently agree with every word this author has written. Every politician, or anyone running for a political office needs to read this article. In fact, I will even go a step further and state that every so-called “citizen” of this once great nation should read this and do some soul-searching to see what their decision would have been in this captain’s situation. This officer’s father was one of the finest officers and Commandant of the Marine Corps under which I served. He did not attempt to save his son!

Hillary againWhen I hear people say Clinton emails don’t matter, I remember a young Marine captain who owned up to his career-ruining mistake.

Apologists for Hillary Clinton’s alleged criminal mishandling of classified documents say that it doesn’t matter, that she really did nothing wrong, or nothing significant. But the real question is not so much what she did as how she has responded to being found out.

Once during the mid-1960s when I was on active duty in the Marine Corps, I was the air liaison officer for a battalion of Marines aboard 11 ships in the Mediterranean. As the air officer and a senior captain, I had a rotating responsibility for the nuclear code book, kept in the safe in the operations room of the lead amphibious squadron command ship. I shared that duty with another captain, a squared away young man, liked by all he commanded and the son of a very high-ranking Marine.

On the day our ships were leaving the Mediterranean, we met the new amphibious squadron near Gibraltar and made preparations to transfer security codes and other sensitive material to the incoming Marine battalion. The young captain was on duty and went to the operations office to pick up the code book. He was alone in the office. He removed the code book and placed it on the desk while closing the safe. In a rushed moment, he stepped across the passageway to retrieve something he needed from his quarters. Seconds later, he stepped back into the operations office and found the operations sergeant having just entered, looking down at the code book.

Against all regulations, the code book had been out of the safe and unattended. It mattered not that it was unattended for only seconds, that the ship was 5 miles at sea, or that it was certain no one unauthorized had seen the code. The captain could have explained this to the operations sergeant. He could have told the sergeant that he “would take care of it.” He could have hinted that his high-ranking dad could smooth it over.

But the Marine Corps’ values are honor, courage and commitment. Honor is the bedrock of our character. The young captain could not ask the sergeant to betray his duty to report the infraction, no matter how small. Instead, the captain simply said, “Let’s go see the colonel.”

That captain had wanted to be a Marine officer all of his life. It was the only career he ever wanted. When he reported the incident to the colonel, he knew he was jeopardizing his life’s dream. But he did it.

The results went by the book. The amphibious squadron stood down. Military couriers flew in from NATO. The codes were changed all over Europe. The battalion was a day late in leaving the Mediterranean. The captain, Leonard F. Chapman III, received a letter of reprimand, damaging his career. He stayed in the corps and died in a tragic accident aboard another ship.

I saw some heroic acts in combat in Vietnam, things that made me proud to be an American and a Marine. But that young captain stood for what makes our Corps and our country great.

Clinton is the antithesis of that young captain, someone with no honor, little courage and commitment only to her endless ambition. This has nothing to do with gender, party affiliation, ideology or policy. It is a question of character — not just hers, but ours. Electing Clinton would mean abandoning holding people accountable for grievous errors of integrity and responsibility. What we already know about her security infractions should disqualify her for any government position that deals in information critical to mission success, domestic or foreign. But beyond that, her responses to being found out — dismissing its importance, claiming ignorance,blaming others — indict her beyond anything the investigation can reveal. Those elements reveal her character. And the saddest thing is that so many in America seem not to care.
