Left HS before report cards came out. Enlisted in the Marines for four years. By the time those years were over, I was hooked - they had me for life. Spent nearly ten years as enlisted. Received a Silver Star, Bronze Star w/V, Purple Heart as a Sgt during first RVN tour. Upon returning to the State's received a combat commission to 2Lt. Retired after 36 total years as a Colonel. Book follows my career, but is more about the heroes with whom I served, the great mentors I had, and the leadership principles they instilled in me.

Wow, wow, wow! I have heard many discussions on abortion, but I have never ever heard it explained in these terms. Do you wonder of which party he speaks, care to guess? This is a must hear before you pull any lever come Tuesday,  and it doesn’t matter if you believe in God or not. Listen to him and you tell me of whom he speaks, if you dare!

This post is so disgusting, I am afraid to even comment about it. We gave them $150 billion and what are they doing with it. Then we gave them another $400 million, and NOW we are lifting sanctions against them. unbelievable! Way to go Kerry.  What’s next? You have to watch this to even believe it. Lord help us as we know not what we are doing.

You Decide!

Hmm, interesting copy of an email, if it is an actual copy of an email, and I kind of think it is. I know one thing for sure, it “ain’t” about going to some concert. You decide.

This is going to be an election for the history books. The first Banana Republic-style election in American history.

Hello Pence, are you there, hello?

penceJeez, some people are not even followers, let alone leaders. Some  one grab this fellow by the stacking swivel (if you do know where that is, ask a Marine), and let him in on a secret, he’s the freaking VP, wake up son! Your Marine brother and son are probably wondering where you are?

kasichAnd that POS Kasich, it doesn’t surprise me, he was too much of a smooth talker, another politician who only lies when his lips are moving. Can’t say that about Trump, he says the same thing regardless of the audience.

Hmm, lips moving? He’s lying

RESIGNATION LETTERS PILING UP AT FBI

You know what? I would like to believe this story, but this election has made me so cynical I have my doubts. I wonder if this is smoke to draw attention away from all the other baggage the bag lady has in her grocery cart, of course you know of whom I speak. Does anyone have a clue as to how corrupt this election is going to be? I mean “her” talking behind closed doors with the head election official of Broward County, Fl is a what, a happenstance? OMG. The war clouds are growing folks. Stay tuned.

The decision by FBI Director James Comey to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server and her mishandling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by FBI agents described as “mutinous.”

In an article for Britain’s Daily Mail, bestselling author Ed Klein reports some of Comey’s top deputies were in on the mutiny, according to a source close to the director.

“The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn’t recommend an indictment against Hillary,” said the source, who Klein says has known Comey for nearly 20 years and spends family outings together.

“Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,” said the source. “They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.”

The source says Comey agonized over the issue for months and even talked about it with his wife, Patrice.

Comey told Patrice the stack of resignation letters from livid agents was making him depressed, as they reminded him that morale at the bureau had hit rock bottom.

“He’s been ignoring the resignation letters in the hope that he could find a way of remedying the situation,’” said the source, according to Klein.

“When new emails that appeared to be related to Hillary’s personal email server turned up in a computer used by [her close aide] Huma Abedin and [Abedin’s disgraced husband,] Anthony Weiner, Comey jumped at the excuse to reopen the investigation.

“The people he trusts the most have been the angriest at him. And that includes his wife, Pat. She kept urging him to admit that he had been wrong when he refused to press charges against the former secretary of state.”

“He talks about the damage that he’s done to himself and the institution [of the FBI], and how he’s been shunned by the men and women who he admires and work for him. It’s taken a tremendous toll on him. It shattered his ego. He looks like he’s aged 10 years in the past four months.”

Klein says Comey’s decision to reopen the case “was more than an effort to heal the wound he inflicted on the FBI.”

“He was also worried that after the presidential election, Republicans in Congress would mount a probe of how he had granted Hillary political favoritism,” Klein wrote.

The new look at Hillary’s emails, coming just 11 days before Election Day, is said to have shocked U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and prosecutors at the Justice Department.

“Jim told me that Lynch and Obama are furious with him,” the source said.

Klein notes that President Obama indicated his choice of Comey as FBI director was “my worst mistake as president.”

“Lynch and Obama haven’t contacted Jim directly,” said the source, “but they’ve made it crystal clear through third parties that they disapprove of his effort to save face.”
