Friend sent me this video and said he decided to take his family to Wrigley Field to watch his Cubbies play. Just another day on the “L” train. Enjoy the ride-a-long.

Folks, I know it’s Sunday, the Lord’s Day, and I did attend church this morning as my bride and I do every week. But then I come home and while I should have stayed off the computer, it was too cold outside (would you believe it was in the low 30′ last night; had to cover my tomato plants. Yeah I know shame on me talking about such mundane things to you folks up north), but then I digress as usual. Anyway I go online and start eliminating emails that are always filled with the goings on of the day, which usually contain more about the Third World Shithole in which we live. But one email I never delete without reading is from my dear friend and brother, Lobo
He had an attachment written by a Marine retired general for whom I have the utmost regard and respect, albeit I never served under him, and I consider that my loss. We were; however, within shouting distance several times during our careers. His reputation stands for itself.
I strongly recommend you read his letter, and for God’s sake, take heed and let’s continue our mission. Write some damn letters, make some phone calls, and above all else — MAKE SO NOISE!
The best places to start a study of today’s Washington are Congressman Jim Jordan’s highly readable book, “Do What You Said You Would Do” and the much longer, even more staggering, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” authored by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Both provide authoritative confirmation of the news that flies daily on the internet.
Former topflight college wrestler and one of the few members of the current Congress who aggressively supports the desires of his constituency, Jordan exposes such matters as the 6 January 2021 “insurrection” in the capitol and is harshly critical of colleagues, Republican and Democrat, who campaign using promises that are ignored once they take office. He also addresses lies like the “insurrection” of 6 January 2021, recently called, “worse than Pearl Harbor” by a “woke” Democrat politician.
Both books are most instructive. Every American who is concerned about what is happening to our once great country will find cause and confirmation of their concerns in the authors’ works.
Robert Kennedy, a gentleman who had a “… 40 year career as an environmental and public health advocate…” provides a detailed exposition of America’s catastrophic response to the COVID – 19 epidemic. By page xx of the Introduction, the reader learns that the lockdown strategy put 58 million Americans out of work and among other things contributed to, “a run-up in the national deficit … the interest payments alone will cost almost $1 trillion annually.” To add perspective, it takes $1,000 Billion to equal $1 Trillion. Adding insult to stupidity, according to Google, the National Debt is hovering around $29 Trillion.
That’s not all. Among other things, page xxi of the Introduction reveals that, “When Dr. Fauci took office, America was still ranked among the world’s healthiest populations. Not now. An August 2021 study by the Commonwealth Fund ranked America’s health care system,” dead last among industrialized nations, with the highest infant mortality and the lowest life expectancy.” And there’s more. Much more, including the page 29 revelation of published studies based on fictional information provided by an Illinois based “medical education” company. The company had 11 employees, including a “… science fiction writer and a porn star/events hostess.” Yessir, just “follow the science.” Read further and you have to wonder why many people, including Fauci are not in jail.
Both books ought to be on every bookshelf in America. Every day brings corruption on steroids into American life. The books are enough to prove that America is in serious trouble. Much of the mainstream media is useless. It is an ally of the “woke” and a megaphone for the distribution of lies and amazingly stupid and often unpopular policies.
An example of the media lapdog relationship with the Democrats is found in a recent internet video showing a Republican House Member announcing that the much ballyhooed Build Back Better Bill contains a proviso that the Federal Government will pay one half the salary of every print or electronic news reporter THROUGHOUT THE NATION.
Think of it, a back door, government controlled news agency. Whose money will be used? Or even better, think of Dr. Josef Goebbels and the Nazi propaganda machine. It takes a seriously sick group of politicians to come up with that portion of the trillion dollar farce.
The above examples show why the internet is a major source of current news, especially news that most major print and electronic media outlets ignore or even lie about.
More samples of internet content are found in January 19th’s early morning internet intake. It included four articles and a highly informative video, all overlooked by the lapdogs. All spread the stench of official corruption, incompetence, lies and, illegality that abound on a daily basis.
The intake started with a missive entitled, “Bad Border Crisis – Mexico a Larger Crisis.” It included, as an attachment, a copy of a speech delivered by the former Director for Texas Homeland Security from 2007 – 2018. He had much to say about our border with Mexico; however, his starting point was that “… Mexico is on the brink of becoming a failed state.” He went on to note that the cartels currently have influence over the Mexican government and upon failure of the government, they will move in and take full control of Mexico.
The cartels already have operatives in the United States to keep an eye on police activity and run the deadly drug distribution network (they must have celebrated the Defund the Police insanity as a true gift). A Mexico under full control of cartels, some of which are already smuggling lethal Chinese drugs into the US via our southern border, is a potential national security threat of the highest order. The cartels will expand the number of US based drug and human smuggling operations. To do so, they will add the necessary violent criminal manpower.
Our current Secretary of Homeland Security has said, “The Border is Closed.” That is a blatant lie. Border officials have repeatedly stated that, “we have lost control of the border.” The US Government has done nothing to close the border. The number of illegals and flow of lethal drugs continue to increase. China’s involvement continues to increase. Who are the illegals? What are they? Why doesn’t Washington care about the drugs and associated deaths? Border patrol officers are shot at from Mexico. Washington does nothing. Why? The Southern Border. Is clearly in a catastrophic state. Why does the Federal Government not do its DUTY and actually close the border?? A nation without a border is no longer a nation.
And why, in the name of God, are Illegal immigrants allowed to use arrest warrants as ID alternatives in order to board aircraft? That gem was initially announced by the Transportation Security Administration on 21 January. According to a 22 January internet report, it was confirmed by the Western Journal the same day. Whose aircraft? Where do they go? Why? Who pays for the flights?
The second internet offering was an edition of “Fred on Everything.” The subject was the crumbling American educational system. One of the more maddening facts surfaced when our educational system was compared to those of other countries. It was reported that, “America’s mathematics teachings are being dumbed down because math is racist.” How insane! Where is the nation’s Department of Education as parents fight Board of Education introduction of pornography in grade school curricula and libraries? Where is the Department of Education while math is being “dumbed down” or porn is being taught in grade schools? Get rid of it.
Next comes the internet report that the Department of Defense is “… quietly looking into how nonbinary troops can serve openly.” This, and the DOD effort to identify racists and right wing extremists in the services, is occurring just as Russia masses infantry, artillery, armor and combat support commands on the Ukrainian border. Shades of 1939 Europe and the Nazi force buildup on the Polish border.
If Russia invades Ukraine, Europe either goes to war or faces the prospect of possible further Russian ambitions to recreate the Soviet Empire. If Europe prefers freedom to possible subservient domination, highly possible NATO commitments will force American participation.
Of much greater importance, just as Russia threatens to invade the Ukraine, Communist China is drooling at the prospect of occupying Taiwan According to internet reports, DOD has openly stated that wargames against China have repeatedly resulted in America’s defeat.
Unfortunately, even cursory discussion of DOD and the services requires a separate paper. However, it is worth noting that DOD is now slow rolling a congressional demand for a report concerning the gift of roughly $80 Billion worth of military equipment to Afghanistan’s Taliban. The report was due two months ago. There’s trouble in the wind. Real trouble.
One military related matter that was not mentioned in the 19 January string of early emails is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) unbelievable phone call to his Chinese counterpart. He told the Chinese general that, should America decide to activate the nuclear launch system with China as the target, he would give the Chinaman a warning phone call. Reports of that phone conversation were received with amazement by government officials and the public. Nothing has since been said or apparently, done about that call.
It is reasonable to assume that China’s decision making chain of command for launching nuclear strikes is shorter than ours. The Chinese could launch a first strike nuclear attack and then claim, for public benefit, that their attack was prompted by a warning phone call. Or the call could actually be made as the activation system is working its way through the chain only to be stopped for some reason. At that point, China would have every reason to launch its nukes. Much talking about nukes. Little thinking.
The final example of one morning’s internet intake is a Lawrence Sellin article discussing the amount of taxpayer money Fauci has spread around to support questionable biowarfare research. Fauci is no friend of America.
Washington is not a swamp. It is a malfunctioning open air sewage treatment plant. The lies, corruption and power grabbing must be stopped. America is not just going in the wrong direction; it is sliding rapidly downhill toward the loss of freedom and the tyranny of communism. Look at the 6 January protestors who are still confined in a DC jail. What happened to “a speedy trial?” What is being done about reports of prisoner abuse? Why are they jailed when real rioters and insurrectionists burned down government buildings and attacked policemen during the 2021 riots run free?
There are signs that the American people are catching on. Great! But not enough. The lies, insanities and illegalities continue unabated. Military veterans who have gone many places and seen so many things in peace, or often in war, have a broader background than others. They should be prominent in the defense of America. Washington should be barraged with letters by the thousands. Numbers count to politicians. Veterans should identify themselves. They are citizens who contributed to America’s defense. As a group, they have clout. And they should encourage friends and relatives to join in the effort. It’s their country, too. They must be heard.
Please start the hobby of tormenting DC with letters. We have a huge, target rich environment. Expand upon subjects in this paper. Go after others … crime; inflation; the failure to investigate $1.5 Billion the Chinese gave Hunter Biden; the police who beat a defenseless woman’s head with nightsticks during the 6 January demonstration; and empty grocery store shelves. Given what goes on in the sewage treatment plant, the possibilities are virtually endless.

OMG, here it comes folks. All of you in Illinois grab your socks! Remember you voted these fools into office so it appears to me you have two choices, suck it up and live with it, or vote with your feet. I did that two years ago. Who’s next? It’s a short report you won’t have to listen to the entire news program. BTW, a very dear friend of ours emailed this to me and added, “BTW, it’s already been implemented in my children’s school district.” WOW Remember folks, knowing the new administration’s feelings on this, it could go nationwide, but you can bet your sweet bippy, our Governor will say Not only no, but, HELL NO!. Will be interesting to see if the Illinois legislature passes this; my bet knowing their progressive stanch, it will pass. Stay Tuned! I realize this is, by far, “un-funny,” but can’t help laughing at these fools!
Can’t wait to hear your comments, especially if there any teachers out there.

The below email was forwarded to me by a best friend, fellow Marine, and brother with whom I served several times, but first aboard the “Mighty Chi,” the USS Chicago CG-11. I was the MarDet XO and he, then Capt. Charlie Tyrian, the CO. One of my worst tours of duty, I was to spend the first year as XO, then when he departed I was to fleet up to be the CO. However, I pulled some strings for the first and only time in my career and to get the hell off after the first year. I tired of watching Naval Officers shit on enlisted men (it’s all in the book).
Anyway, I do not know the Colonel who actually wrote the below piece, but he definitely has command of the English language and makes his point loud, clear, and concise that any idiot “should” be able to understand, but they won’t. And as for the scum who started this whole thing (my Senator, and I use that term loosely, Durbin, he surely falls into the category described below.
And the Marine Colonel has the final word!!!
Don’t know about you, but I have been somewhat amazed & amused by the outpouring of distress regarding the use of the vulgar word “shithole.”
Now, as an Officer of Marines, I worked very hard at avoiding obscene verbiage, although admittedly some times without success. The avoidance of profane language was, in truth, a much greater challenge. With regard to vulgar terminology… well let’s say I learned at the feet of the most talented and original users and creators of vulgar terminology: Marine Staff Non-Commissioned Officers!
The essential element in the deciphering of any language, be it orthodox or non-orthodox, is identifying to what does the word infer or refer. In the case of the word in question, “shithole” refers to a PLACE and not a person or a people. For one to refer in a vulgar manner to a person or a people, the appropriate term would be “shithead” or“dickhead” or better yet, the more popular “asshole.”
Typically, the word “shithole” would be used in two consecutive and highly dependent sentences: “Jeez, what a shithole!” followed immediately by “Clean this shithole up!!!” In neither sentence does the word “shithole” refer to its inhabitants, although there may be an asshole or two in the group.
No doubt Marines and our brethren Soldiers clearly comprehend this distinction. Air Force officers surely would not use such language, and besides, they have contract laborers to clean things up. Similarly, the use of the word would be beneath the dignity of a Navy officer; that’s why they have Chiefs and “Swabbies.”
Like many of you to whom this email is addressed, I have been to a “shithole” or two in my time. I believe I know of which I speak. Certainly, we have seen our share in Southeast Asia, but until you have stood in some wadi shithole in the Sudan or Somalia or Oman… well, you haven’t lived!
So, in the interest of enlightening the over-educated, yet blithely ignorant masses, you have my permission to disseminate the important distinction in the use of vulgar terminology that I have attempted to illuminate.
Peace be with you. Semper Fidelis!
