From “The Gunny”

Gunny’s Rule. Gunny’s tell it like it is. Gunny’s never lie. When Gunny’s talk, everyone listens> read what the Gunny says about Colin Kaeperpoop. Did I spell that correctly Gunny?

 

GunnyMost of my friends know I am totally not into sports. I mean I am not impressed by these sports so-called super stars who make millions for playing games and too often make the worst choices in their daily lives because they cannot handle the fame and their own finances.   I mean really, if you are making millions a year and still beating up your girlfriend, getting DUI’s, dog fighting, drunk in public, illegal firearms….I mean grow up already.  If you’re making that kind if money, you are no longer in the frat house or back on the block.  It is now your time to be a responsible adult or learn how to be one.  If you want all these endorsements and to have your wealthy asses on the Cheerios box for young kids to emulate, then pull up your pants, get a haircut, learn how to speak,  buy yourself an education and get your act together!

I feel the same way most Veterans do about this idiot football player (notice I did not defile this commentary by using his name) refusing to stand for the National Anthem. Part of me realizes that is his right as an American, but most of me also realizes if he is that passionate about his cause, he should be taking the millions he is making and putting his money where his mouth…or in his case his butt…is.  What have you done, Mr. Football player, to help the “oppressed people” in this country you obviously hold in contempt?

Now the football fans in videos all over Facebook and the internet that are standing in salute playing the National Anthem while they burn his jersey hit a home run, in my eyes, right out of the ball park. So I join these fans in a  salute to you, you moron.  Of all the things you could protest or show youngsters in America as a role model, you had to show how to be “un-American.”

Just Sayin’,
The Gunny

Colin Kaepernick

ColinOne of my frequent readers queried me asking if I was going to sit out the news of this scumbag’s actions? I thought about it and decided this piece of garbage does not deserve any more news coverage than he is getting. So, having said that I will only add, look at what team he is playing for, a sanctuary city that hosts some of the craziest politicians known to the country. I never left my heart in there, so I have no reason to return. Oh, and BTW scratch the 49=ers from my TV listings. Nuff said!

Still Alive

Hi Gang,

I know it’s been quite some time ago that I posted on my blog. Have no excuse except to blame it on age. Having just hit the 85 mark two weeks ago, I’ve been busy responding to 100’s of emails, messages, and phone calls from, literally, all over the globe.  What impressed me so much was how some remembered my birthday after all these years. Seriously, some of the brothers and sisters I received well-wishes from I have not heard from since five years ago, when I turned 80. What an absolute joy it is to realize the closeness we share as Marines. It is a bond that never goes away.

Anyway, I digress. My real purpose in coming onto the site this morning is to extend a very sincere Happy New Year to everyone. Can you believe it is 2026? Where did 2025 go? It seemed to simply zoom by.  I was actually awake and watched the ball drop in Times Square on the TV. I can’t remember the last time I did that. It has to be well over 10, maybe even 15 years ago. And when they played Olde Lang Syne, my eyes watered as they always have. And I said a prayer to my Lord, thanking him for allowing me to meet another year on the green side of the grass.

So, HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS, RELATIVES, AND BROTHER AND SISTER MARINES. May God bless you and keep you safe. I love all of you!!

Semper Fi,

Jim
