Marines in Flight

9 Comments

Are those Marines in the photo above running to a fight or running away from a fight? Well, Fellow Marines, it appears the current sick societal norms have now finally affected our Corps. Sadly they are running away from a fight — UNBELIEVABLE! I am sickened by the below article, which by the way was sent to me by my bride. 

The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) has a legendary history of bravery and esprit de corps when it comes to defending America’s freedom. From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, the Corps hasn’t shrunk back from meeting any foe of the United States. So it may surprise some to learn that recently the Marines surrendered to a single activist who complained that an instructor at an upcoming seminar on strategy and tactics was a Christian.

The USMC scheduled an annual training for military lawyers earlier this month, at which the Battle of Gettysburg would be discussed. The instructor for one portion of that training was supposed to be Jay Lorenzen, an Air Force veteran who taught for 10 years at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Lorenzen’s biography, provided to the military lawyers in advance of the training, included references to Christianity, including his affiliation with Campus Crusade for Christ, now known as Cru, and a couple of religious-themed courses he teaches in his spare time. Several of those lawyers complained to Mikey Weinstein, who heads up a secular, anti-Christian group called the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, that Lorenzen was going to teach about religion.

That allegation was false. It didn’t matter.

Weinstein, himself an Air Force veteran, is adamantly opposed to any form of Christian expression within the military, and immediately contacted the USMC to voice his displeasure at Lorenzen’s scheduled appearance at the training, calling Lorenzen a “fundamentalist Christian extremist parachurch official.” Within 64 minutes, according to Weinstein, the USMC informed him that the event had been canceled. It was replaced with an instruction regarding systemic racism within the military.

First Liberty Institute, a public interest law firm specializing in religious liberty, represents and has represented military personnel, including chaplains, who have seen their religious freedom rights unfairly and unconstitutionally curtailed by the various military branches. The legal firm is calling a foul.

Jeremy Dys is the Special Counsel for Litigation and Communications for First Liberty. In an op-ed this week, he explained why the USMC is making a big mistake in this case.

“Let us be very clear: the Marine Corps bravely cancelled a speaker chosen to lead a discussion on the battlefield tactics and leadership lessons of Gettysburg based upon his expertise as a retired military officer and academy professor because that retired officer, in his speaker’s bio, confessed to be religious and associated with a religious organization,” Dys said.

“Such open discrimination against people of faith is unbecoming of our beloved Marine Corps. From Article VI of the U.S. Constitution to cases like Trinity Lutheran to numerous Department of Defense (DOD) policies, the law is clear: the government cannot require a religious test for office, nor insist that religious people be excluded from benefits—like teaching to a class of Marine Corps reservists—because they are religious.”

In a statement furnished to Fox News, the USMC confirmed only that the event had been cancelled when scheduled attendees “raised concerns” about Lorenzen.

When the Marines go into full retreat mode over the issue of religious freedom, it’s time for an explanation and some new direction from the Department of Defense. The treatment of this instructor should not be allowed to stand.

Bullshit, it’s time for some serious discourse by we Marines with some of the so-called leaders of our active Corps. I would expect the retired Generals to be rising up in protest, but then maybe not. There are a few I know personally who will certainly come up on line. They were going to discuss the Battle of Gettysburg, not the resurrection of Jesus. I am seriously sickened by this action. Commandant, where are you taking my Corps?

Finley: Godfather is setting rules for radicals

, The Detroit News Published 11:00 p.m. ET Aug. 5, 2020

Saul Alinsky isn’t the one setting the rules for the radicals controlling the streets of some of America’s largest cities. It’s Don Vito Corleone.

Alinski, the late revolutionary whose “Rules for Radicals” inspired a generation of activists, some of who’ve reached the pinnacle of power, advocated a step-by-step erosion of America’s values and institutions.

Corleone, Hollywood’s most famous mob boss, was less patient, sticking the bloody consequences of defying him right in the face of his targets.

The Godfather’s methods are preferred by today’s social justice mobs.

Witness the demands leveled by Black Lives Matter in Louisville, where ongoing and often violent demonstrations have effectively rendered unusable the city’s hip East Market District, or NuLu as it’s popularly known.

In a letter to the NuLu business community, the activists offered peace in exchange for a long list of demands to give African Americans a greater cut of the action in Louisville’s surging downtown.

The list calls for representation of African Americans equal to their piece of the city’s population — 23% — in district jobs, management positions, business ownership, nonprofit boards, etc.

On paper, it’s a worthy goal. I was among those who early on called out the scarcity of Black participation in Detroit’s downtown comeback.

But as hard quotas, with harsh repercussions for not meeting them, they are nothing more than a shakedown. If the 23% target is missed, businesses will be required to make a donation equal to 1.5% of net sales to local Black organizations.

The other demands are straight out of Soviet and Chinese re indoctrination camps.

Business owners must swear the equivalent of a loyalty oath by posting in a prominent place their support of reparations for slavery. They and their staffs must submit to biannual diversity, equity and inclusion training conducted by pre-approved Black female trainers. They then must participate in quarterly community “round tables” where their progress toward compliance will be judged.

The shakedown payment is just the start of the Mob-style coercion.

Businesses that fail to agree to the terms face the outright threat of ruin. BLM promises a campaign of  intense intimidation.

The actions threatened include blasts of the non-compliance on “all social media platforms” and via mail. Public boycotts organized online of “your NuLu establishment AND any other business ventures owned by you.”

Also, “Visible, media-covered demonstration/sit-in outside your establishment.”

And something called “Invasive Reclamation,” which means staffing booths and tables outside a business where competing Black businesses can offer their wares.

The threats seem to meet the legal definition of extortion: “The gaining of property or money by almost any kind of force or threat of violence, property damage, harm to reputation, or unfavorable government action.”

That charge has landed a lot of mob figures in the slammer. But the BLM mobsters fear no such reprisals.

They know they’re free to adopt the tactics of the Godfather because so many American cities are being run by prototypes of his bumbling boy Fredo.

Jimmy “POS” Kimmel Live

Says Kimmel, “Our president is a Hydroxy-moron… It’s hard to process but I guess are we surprised that the guy who thought windmills cause cancer thinks a lupus drug kills coronavirus?”

What a POS. Who watches this fool? I sure as heck do not, but I guess everyone else does. Anyway, here’s a great clip of someone (Marc Little) who took exception to a clip from the POS that included him, and he took Kimmel on. Enjoy!

Black LIES Matter

at least to the liberals they do. Wanted to share with you what I was doing in Montana for two weeks.

Of course I jest, but I thought it was time for some humor with all the stuff going on in our once great nation.

And yes I believe Black Lies do matter to those who are ignorant of the organization itself and where all that money goes to from donations. Stupid is what stupid is. Have a great day; I will!

Biden’s New Commercial

Video 3 Comments

This is the voice of the National Democratic party??? I’m sure he did not make this one on his own. It had to have had the scum Pelosi’s and Schummer’s input. And folks, this says it all. Very telling. Be sure to spread it around and by all means send to your liberal friends, that is if you have any — I do not! It seems obvious to me who this commercial is directed towards, but you decide. Needs to go viral!
