Civil War II

16 Comments

I do not consider myself a conspiracy nut like some folks e.g., the white supremacists and the doomsday theorists. however, I have long had a belief we were slowly moving towards a showdown between to two sides of the aisle. In fact, there are even some on my side of the aisle who are sitting on the wrong side. I cannot remember in my lifetime (and I just turned 79 last week) where our elected officials have come under such scrutiny for unheard of wrong doings, yet nothing happens to them, not even a slap on the hand. They have all become millionaires at our expense. Tell me how an elected official can accumulate so much wealth on $174,000 a year salary? They are all lying crooks, thieves, outright robbers who are not serving the people, but stealing from them, and laughing all the way to the bank.

I also assumed the start of the conflict between the states would stem from the Second Amendment rights, and here it is. You need to read this article carefully, and you need to decide now on which side are you on. And regardless on your decision, you should be preparing yourself for the inevitable. It’s going to happen; we the people are getting fed up, disgusted with the very institutions designed to protect us from tyranny. The FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, etc. have always been our saviors, our safeguards against corruption and tyranny, yet today, they are being used against us.

We were saved by the last national election, and I believe he will prevail again come next year, but it will certainly get very, very ugly. Like the old infantry warning, keep you canteens filled and your powder dry.

I await your reaction and comments please.

God help this nation because it can’t help itself anymore.

Drunk, Drugs, or What?

1 Comment

Hi Gang, I received the below You Tube video of our new Speaker of the House. Amazing, it needs to go viral. Can anyone believe this lady. The sender asked whether she was on drugs or drunk, my guess is neither, she has simply aged to the point where she is experiencing something we will all experience someday, some more than others. To think this person is the third in line to sit in the Oval Office should something drastic happen to Trump and Pence scares the hell out of me. You watch and you decide.

DC or Bust

Hi Folks, been a long time since I posted anything. My only excuse is I have been working incessantly trying to put together all the logistics for this DC trip for my Young Marines. There have been times when I have asked myself if I may have bit off more than I can chew. But hey, as Marines, don’t we always do that? LOL

We are up to twenty-four now, boys and girls, ages 8-18, average age is still 12 1/2. Have you ever tried teaching map & compass navigation to that wide of an age span? Whew! By the way, at our first boot camp in August 2016 one of our eight-year-old recruits brought a Teddy Bear with her, another girl, age 16 drove herself there. Things do get interesting. I have often wondered why the Young Marines went so far down to age 8; their attention span for anything is one Nano-second or shorter. LOL But they are a barrel of fun, and once you get their attention they are like sponges, they can’t absorb enough.

The D.C. trip is slowly coming together. There are some challenges we’re working on overcoming. One of which I thought would be easy, but has proven most difficult i.e., the Friday night parade at The Barracks. Realizing their reservation system does not open till 15 March, I was hoping I could somehow develop a contact so I could get some idea as to which Friday could I be guaranteed reservations. Simply put, that Friday would drive everything logistic wise. No dice. I even sent the CO a copy of my book with a letter asking for a POC; that was early December, so far, no response. So, I had to simply pick a date suitable for me and the kids so I could start working on everything else. The problem is I have been retired since October 1993, that was 25 years ago, the company grade officers with whom I served at SOI are colonels and retired. I know no one in the Corps anymore. Sad what happens to you when you get old and gray. LOL No one cares about your requests anymore.

But I have to tell you, if I were in that CO’s shoes and rec’d a request such as mine, I would have immediately scribbled the sender a quick note of acknowledgement and gave the request to my OPSO, or better yet, my Protocol Officer and told him to make it happen. I don’t care how busy I was, it’s called taking care of your own. Oh well, so be it. I had to pick dates in the dark, so the plan is to arrive Tuesday 25 June and depart Sunday 30 June.

My real challenge is still financially. We have raised a little over $11,000, but with twenty-four kids now and several pending, we have a ratio requirement of 10-1 for supervisory personnel on such ventures. So, I am looking at about 30 for the trip. Of course, I will pay my own way, but some of my adult volunteers are from very low-income families and are many of my kids. I have decided once I have all the logistics worked out and am able to place some sort of a dollar figure on the full cost, and there is not enough for everyone to go, we are not going. I won’t be selective with the kids.
Anyway, I am sending out another SOS to everyone I can and am urging our parents to do the same. The unit has several fundraisers set up for the spring e.g., pizza night, spaghetti dinner, bingo, car washes, and of course many fundraisers in front of stores as we always do. So, the kids are really working hard for this; they are PUMPED!

Once again, the GoFundMe account is still alive should you desire to donate, or you can send a donation to me at 4303 East Drive, Crystal Lake, IL 60012 should you want to make it directly thus saving the small fee they charge. Our account is at: https://www.gofundme.com/manage/fox-valley-young-marines

Thanks everyone, and may God Bless you.

Semper Fi,
Jim

“Linked In” a Voter Fraud

Yes, he was “linked in” a scam designed to illegally influence an election.

 

Are you a fellow LinkedIn? I am (or was).  I have been a member of that site far more years than I can count. I have reunited with many lost Marine Brothers, and made so many new friends that I feel blessed. Never a day goes by without my getting a friend request from someone, or sending one out.

As an author, I have sold many books. Although that was never the intent of belonging to LinkedIn, it has served me well. But now I must say goodbye. Most of you know my story, I served this country for 36 years, I love this country, I was (and am) prepared to die for this country. I am appalled at what is happening to something I love more than anything else. I am a staunch conservative, not a Republican mind you; I do not donate to the RNC simply because there are elected GOP types who are not conservatives, scum McCain was the leaders of that group. Things are going on in my country that I never thought I would witness, but then I must always consider the source of those goings on.

Because of recent reports concerning the co-founder of LinkedIn, (Reid Hoffman), I must say goodbye to that site. If you want to know more about what he did, go to: https://lnkd.in/e5yj5DG

Who does this scumbag think he is? He’s like many of the folks who run these hot social sites e.g., Twitter, Face Book, etc. screaming liberals who want nothing more than to turn my country into a socialist global society. Why? They know their money will make them part of the elite, while us hard working souls wash their feet. Sorry, but color me gone. After many years of foolishly supporting your illegal activities I will do so no more!
