Alison Parker’s Dad: ‘They Messed With The Wrong Family’
Father of Virginia reporter shot on air reaffirms push for gun control
Parker hopes for ‘tipping point’ in debate as he calls for background checks
In the end, this Mr. Parker guy will be there(unless he’s executed) to shame the NRA and the GOPer’s scared of the NRA.
FoxNOTnews relentlessly stated…”We cannot talk about this(gun control) so early after someone was killed by a gun.”
The father of the victim(Mr. Parker) disagrees ❗ FoxNOTnews follows the NRA rule: SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN begotten by numerous others from S. Korea’s SAMESUX to 2016 GOP hopeful candidate Chris Christie who repeatedly tells folks to “Sit Down and Shut Up” no matter where he is. 😯
Walmart is smart to quit selling a product that isn’t selling(AR-15s), and their decision ain’t political like FoxNOTnews lies about. Don’t tell me FoxNOTnews is in the Walmart boardroom and knows why decisions are made? FoxNOTnews didn’t report that they were a fly on the Walmart boardroom wall…so how do they know? They don’t ❗ They just report their own created lies as usual.

“I have been in contact with Mark Kelly, who is Gabby Giffords’ husband, who was very gracious to reach out to me,” he said. “And we’re going to get together in Washington. Senator [Mark] Warner has also, you know, told me: ‘Whatever we can do to help and facilitate that, let me know.’ Mayor [Michael] Bloomberg’s people have reached out.”
Parker added: “You always think there’s a tipping point. We always thought that when Gabby was shot, something would happen; with Sandy Hook, something would happen; with Aurora, something would happen, and it never did.”
Parker’s rhetorical approach echoed that of Senator Bernie Sanders, the independent Vermont senator who had appeared on the programme in the preceding interview to repeat his message against the “same old, same old” procession of politics in Washington.

“I was listening to Bernie Sanders … and I like what he said,” Parker said, after promising to “hold the politicians’ feet to the fire”.
“He said, and it applied to another matter, ‘same old, same old’ doesn’t work, and it applies to this issue. The reason he’s doing so well in the polls and Donald Trump is doing so well is that people are tired of the same old, same old.
“The difference in this situation is [such feeling has] got to apply to sensible gun control legislation. Controlling the loopholes in gun shows, doing those kind of things.”

What this man doesn’t realize is that no one is going to make too big of a deal out his daughter’s death. This won’t be the case that makes the gun control cause for a couple of reasons. The main reason being that the shooter was black and killed the victims because they were white.
It was a hate crime by a black man and forcing it on the public too much will get people to go against the other major liberal crusade: special treatment for minorities.
Another issue is that he used a pistol, which is the firearm most used to murder people in the United States. It doesn’t play into the “AR-15’s are evil” narrative. Why aren’t politicians pushing to take away handguns instead of AR-15’s?
Which leads me to a question for you T Bone:
What is the difference between a hunting rifle and an AR-15 style rifle?

“Mark Kelly, who is Gabby Giffords’ husband”
At first, I felt very sorry for Gabby and Mark.
Then, I realized they are just more elitist limousine liberal shytbags pushing for restrictions on others that don’t apply to them.
Then I felt very sorry the shooter didn’t finish the job.
Serves me right for, in a moment of weakness, feeling sorry about misfortune to any politician.
The incident I am referring to is Mark Kelly testifying about how bad guns are… and then buying an AR-15 and a 1911… and then getting caught… and then making up some thin excuse he was trying to demonstrate how easy it was to buy these guns… a non-point with no purpose… especially in the way he bought them. Meanwhile, photos were leaked of Gabby playing soldier to “toughen my image”.
So… guns are a tool to increase political power… and guns are OK for them to buy… and everybody else needs more restrictions. Regardless of ideology, all Americans should recognize and condemn elitist and exceptionalist behavior among those who make/push for rules.
There are some factors in violent crime that are more common than guns… and when politicians are serious about reducing violent crime, they will bring these to pubic attention.
Until then, it is all bullshyt.

Flame war. You in, NRA? http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/editorial-flame-war-nra-article-1.2341123
“Handheld flamethrowers — yes, the weapons of war capable of spraying streams of fire 25 feet long for more than 30 seconds — are commercially available in the United States for the first time, for the low, low price of $900 (no background check required).
Sane public officials — concerned about, oh, maybe, arson attacks on gas stations? — want to ban or at least make it very hard for people to get hold of the devices, as California and Maryland have already done.
Which leads to the obvious question: Where are the NRA Second Amendment absolutists?
America’s gun lobby stands mindlessly with those who make and market military-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and other efficient killing machines, and against attempts to require background checks for all gun purchases…
…Which is why, in the name of consistency, the NRA and its legislator lemmings must rush to the defense of America’s poor, besieged flamethrower manufacturers. Fire away.”

I wish death on all those who strive to push needless controls upon me which they avoid for themselves.
If there was a more humane solution, such as them just going away, that would be fine, too… but these type of people don’t just go away… as they are never happy until they have complete control over everyone… with extra satisfaction if the controls they push for actually increase their lifestyle.
Therefore, death is really a better solution to wish for.

NRA Host Warns Parents Of Slain Virginia Journalists To Not ‘Become So Emotional’
Colion Noir is the NRA’s effort to get a younger demographic. For example, if you’re old enough to have kids. you’re too old to agree with his point that parents shouldn’t be so emotional when their kids are shot to death. http://freakoutnation.com/2015/08/this-is-disgusting-nra-host-warns-parents-of-slain-virginia-journalists-to-not-become-so-emotional/
“And to the parents of Alison Parker and Adam Ward, I have no right to tell any parent how to grieve for the loss of their child,” Noir says, “Grief-inspired advocacy can be extremely effective and powerful and I say run full speed to find a way to end violence like this.”
“However, sometimes in a fight we can become so emotional everyone and thing starts looking like the enemy, even if they’re there to help us. I’m deeply sorry for your loss,” he adds.
At one point, Noir says, “Turning this murder into a gun control dog-and-pony show minutes after the shooting because you can’t make sense of what just happened is ridiculous.”
Nor also pointed to Hillary Clinton and President Obama, saying, “and the rest of the gun control Wu-Tang Clan are so full of it” because “they try to take advantage of people’s ignorance about guns and their emotional response to horrible events to win votes and push an agenda that fosters an unhealthy dependence on the government…”

A gun can’t kill a reporter…
…but a black homosexual can…
…so controls must be put in place on blacks, homosexuals, and black homosexuals… and especially black homosexual former reporters which is the most dangerous of them all.
A good proposal is that all blacks must be registered (assisting in voter ID laws, as well) and there needs to be a waiting period (a.k.a. “cooling off period”) before engaging in any homosexual acts. Former reporters must be kept separately from video cameras and items such as high capacity batteries and large capacity recording media should be banned.
It is time to get serious in stamping out this epidemic of gay black former reporter violence.

While Maxim here in the U.S. has done well to rejuvenate its image, Maxim Korea is headed 100 mph in the wrong direction with this disturbing cover. The cover depicts a man casually enjoying a cigarette while a woman’s dead body is stuffed in the trunk of his car. The image is for Maxim Korea’s September issue, which has a “bad guy” theme, and features an actor notorious for playing villains, Kim Byung-ok. Next to Byung-ok is the copy, “So girls like ‘bad guys’? This is what a bad guy looks like. Dying for him, right?”
Hmm… Are sales lagging? Trying to brush up some business with a “controversial” cover? Is this in the news in Korea, or just a puff-piece by some SJW at Complex?
SEOUL, Sept. 2 (UPI) — South Korea said North Korean drones trespassed into the South’s side of the demilitarized zone several times during the high-level talks in August – but Seoul’s military was unable to shoot them down even after they entered South Korean airspace.
The drones flew across the midpoint Military Demarcation Line inside the DMZ from Aug. 22 to 24, and even flew over General Outposts, where the military keeps a close watch over the border, Yonhap reported Wednesday.
The DPRK flew one (or more) of their hobby shop UAVs over the DMZ during the recent negociations, and the South launched attack helecopters and fighter aircraft to possibly shoot it down.
Really? A multi-million dollar fighter jet to take down a photo recon drone? I have a feeling that in the future, there will be swarms of anti-drone drones stationed in the DMZ area, to create a defense in depth buffer zone.

What about privacy rights protection? Seems to me whether they are legitimate targets or not, the subject of mechanized intrusion (i.e. drones) is an interesting one. If surveillance cannot be accomplished by a person on the ground from property where the surveillor (whether government or private) has a right to be why should they be entitled to hover over the air in that spot?
Reasonable expectation of privacy applies. If one is hovering over an area open enough to the public where privacy would not be expected, it’s one thing. Some drone hovering and taking video footage of a guy’s teenaged daughter sunning herself on a private roof it another. Can the government get a search warrant if they had footage of her smoking a joint in an area that one would assume a reasonable expectation of privacy?
@39- Drones are the wave of he future which laws and government regulators and still trying to catch up to. With major businesses like Amazon pressuring the government to allow them to begin drone delivery services I fully expect this will be worked out over the next five years.

I don’t advocate shooting at something without a backstop, unless it’s necessary to save a life.
Most of the types of drones we have been addressing are (at present) annoying but not lethal. Lethal drones sent across a border are a clear Act of War, just like warplanes, warships, armored vehicles, or commandos.
I suppose a high-powered laser might be a better tool. Even if it didn’t disable the drone, it might disable any optical devices (cameras, etc.). Not sure portable “death Rays” are available yet. And thpse described in Popular Science aren’t on my budget.
Sorry Kim Davis, GoFundMe’s New Policy Prevents Conservatives From Raising Money For You
As we’ve seen a dizzying amount of times, conservatives have used the popular fundraising site GoFundMe to enrich and support people who they believe are on their side of the “culture war” – including officers who have killed unarmed black teenagers, Tea Partiers who got sick after refusing to sign up for Obamacare, and an endless number of bakeries run by Christians who want to discriminate against gay people. Watching these bakers and cops make fortunes (literally) just by “standing up” for conservative values has had the effect that anyone with a conservative point of view and a desire to be flooded with money can milk the conservative GoFundMe cash cow.”

If you take a deeper look into Jamycheal Mitchell, you will find the real story.
He was a career petty thief… going to jail every now and then for exactly the same thing… chronically ripping off the productive class for instant gratification… and that is only for the times he got caught or the victim was willing to press charges.
He was in jail awaiting transfer to a mental health facility, where he had spent time before.
He stopped eating and taking care of himself… so the reality is he committed suicide… which is why it is being treated that way.
He was simply another professional parasite and he killed himself for not getting his way.

Kim Davis is a woman of principles.
She stands with God against those who would destroy the sanctity of marriage.
All you haters who support the perversion of flighty gay marriage over the solid bond that only a man and a woman can share, should look to the leadership of Kim Davis and support the lifelong commitment that only true marriage can offer.
My argument might be a bit stronger if Kim Davis hadn’t been married 4 times… including, for the win, divorcing her first husband because she got pregnant through adultry with the guy who would later become her third husband after having twins out of wedlock and then marrying her second husband.
She might only have a doublewide and a stack of divorce paperwork to her name, but at least she has Jesus to guide her.

“Donald Trump is a leading presidential candidate. How is this possible? Only through the sort of extreme gullibility usually seen only in casinos or fundamentalist religious revival halls. There is no other way. Donald Trump is not a politician. Donald Trump is not a thinker. Donald Trump is not a theorist, or a moral leader, or a man who possesses philosophical convictions other than egoism. Donald Trump is a cartoon clown whose immutable role is “Grossly Exaggerated Rich Guy Stereotype” in the drama of American pop culture. And now, thanks to a high polling number, we are all forced to listen to the media discuss his “policies,” as if he has any. One might as well put a pig in front of a microphone and thoughtfully transcribe his oinks as you interview him about supply-side economics.
“I love the Bible,” says Donald Trump. “Nothing beats the Bible.” Can you conceive of a more blatant piece of hucksterism? Every single syllable drips with the utmost condescension for the intelligence of its listeners. Donald Trump, a born-rich real estate developer with gold faucets in his penthouse, standing on stage in Iowa or Alabama or Michigan, telling you that he loves the Bible. At least corrupt televangelists have the decency to memorize a few Bible passages to bolster their scam. Trump’s crude version of Bible-thumping consists of nothing more than uttering the word “Bible” and watching you, the credulous salt-of-the-earth Christians, clap until your palms are red. It disgusts me to even have to go through the charade of pretending to contemplate whether or not Donald Trump is truly a Good Spiritual Christian. It is time wasted engaging seriously with sheer idiocy. Donald Trump hops from his garish branded helicopter and immediately tells you, the crowd of agog yokels, that he loves nothing more than the Bible, the book of love and humility, and you all accept this at face value, because you too love the Bible, and you think helicopters are really cool. Donald Trump is a third rate carrot peeler salesman at the county fair, and you are the knot of bored marks entranced by his patter, rushing to shell out your dollars for his bauble.”

“The mayor and her staff are trying to do all they can to heal the wounds in the community, and this is a step in the right direction,” said Schmoke, president of the University of Baltimore. “This settlement will give some people in the community at least some sense of justice.”
Under the proposed settlement, the city is accepting all civil liability in the April arrest and death of the 25-year-old Gray, who suffered a spinal injury while in police custody. The city does not acknowledge any wrongdoing by police, according to a statement from Rawlings-Blake.
“The proposed settlement agreement going before the Board of Estimates should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial,” her statement said. “This settlement is being proposed solely because it is in the best interest of the city, and avoids costly and protracted litigation that would only make it more difficult for our city to heal and potentially cost taxpayers many millions more in damages.”

CH, I’m sort of a “Strategic Thinker” along the lines of Curtis LeMay. Must be the time I spent in the Air Force (back when Jimmah was CinC).
1. “We should always avoid armed conflict. But if you get in it, get in with both feet and get out as soon as possible.”
2. “War is never cost-effective. People are killed. To them, the war is total.”
3. “Successful offense brings victory. Successful defense can now only lessen defeat.”
4. “We can haul anything.”
5. “If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting.”
6. “To err is human, to forgive is not SAC policy”
7. “The price of failure might be paid with national survival.”
My best friend had tee-shirts made up for his crew that said “Nuke ’em ’til they glow… Hunt ’em at night…”
Every one of the posturing notables simpering ‘refugees welcome’ should be asked if he or she will take a refugee family into his or her home for an indefinite period, and pay for their food, medical treatment and education.
If so, they mean it. If not, they are merely demanding that others pay and make room so that they can experience a self-righteous glow. No doubt the same people are also sentimental enthusiasts for the ‘living wage’, and ‘social housing’, when in fact open borders are steadily pushing wages down and housing costs up.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (UPI) — The Justice Department has suspended a Korean American importer of North Korean beer – and has banned him from working as a foreign agent representing Pyongyang.
Steve Park, also known as Park Il-woo, is a veteran businessman and president of Korea Pyongyang Trading U.S.A. Radio Free Asia reported in 2011 Park received permission from the U.S. government to import North Korea’s Taedonggang Beer, but Park’s failure to file tax returns starting in 2008 was one of the reasons his agent status was recently terminated.
So, if you’re willing to file the paperwork, AND your taxes, you can take over one of the rarest beer imports there is.
Has anyone ever tried this? I don’t remember it being for sale at the DMZ when I did the tour. They had a very few NorK items for sale, but they did sell NK won and a few handicrafts, I think.

Obama Punk-Slaps the Entire GOP Field!
Folks, I thought First-Term-Obama was special–but this Second-Term-Prez is truly special. Today, at a labor day speech in Boston, he punched republicans in their political faces eight times: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/2015/09/07/obama-says-republicans-hurt-working-people/71838730/
HE SAID:
1. They are trying to “re-brand themselves as the party of the middle class” while opposing efforts to raise the minimum wage and bragging about busting unions.
2. “You can’t say you care about working people and then do things that hurt working people.” Obama said in a Labor Day speech to the Greater Boston Labor Council.
3. Obama signed an executive order requiring federal contractors to offer employees up to seven paid sick days a year.
4. He said: “I say to Congress: find a way to make paid family and medical leave a reality for all Americans,” the president said. “It will be good for business, not bad for business.”
5. “Republicans know that with a quality education, a good job and the freedom to make their own economic choices, there is nothing an American can’t accomplish.”
6. Without naming names he said: “one Republican was “bragging about how he busted unions in his state.” The president was clearly referring to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who became nationally known for restricting the collective bargaining power of state employee unions as part of his efforts to cut the state budget.”
7. He also slammed Christie for saying: “a union deserves a punch in the face.” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said last month that the American Federation of Teachers deserved a punch in the face for endorsing Clinton.”
8. “Quoting Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, Obama said, “What is it about working men and women that they find so offensive?”
This is who we are!
This is what we stand for!
The only way we can win is to be aggressive. We can’t “policy-wonkify” our way through this process, we have to speak with one singular voice as Obama did and punch them in their political faces.
Tell them to their faces to quit lying about supporting the middle-class and back it up with facts. I’ve learned all of their code words now:
1. “small businesses” really mean large corporation
2. “simpler tax” means more tax cuts for the wealthy
3. “secure medicare” means destroy it
4. “repair and replace obamacare” means destroy it
5. “secure the borders first” means treat Hispanics as second-classed citizens
6. “all lives matter” means we need to shut-up and take our murders like men
7. “horrified by planned parenthood” means I really need evangelicals in my camp
8. “take America back” means get them AAs out of our White House!
9. “the economy is in turmoil” means obama saved America from a great depression
10.” I won’t lead from behind” means I’m starting wars with Iran, Syria and maybe Russia too.
Right Wing GOP War Hawks in the Senate are planning to vote on a resolution of disapproval on President Obama’s HISTORIC diplomatic agreement with Iran on Friday, September 11. They are shamelessly using the deaths on that tragic day(9/11) to try and instigate another war of choice.
The good news is that our President Barack Obama has 42 Democratic and Independent senators who support hid diplomatic agreement and are willing to give peace a chance(GOP HATES PEACE like servicethemselfmembers ~ tools of WARHAWKS and…The military–industrial complex/Congressional complex, comprises the policy and monetary relationships which exist between legislators, national armed forces, and the arms industry that supports them.
Our President Barack Obama can secure his deal and prevent another war on FRIDAY if all 42 of these senators stand firm and filibuster the resolution of disapproval. 😎

Medals of Honor awarded since the decorations’s creation in 1861…equates to 3,471 to the nation’s servicethemselfmembers/sailors/airmen/marines/and coast guardsmen
The President of the United States, in the name of the United States Congress, has awarded 3,471 Medals of Honor to the nation’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and coast guardsmen since the decoration’s creation in 1861.
Question ❓ How many of those 3,471 awards went to women ❓

“Question? How many of those 3,471 awards went to women?”
The REAL question is, “How many of those 3,471 awards went to people of Sentinelese descent?”
The United States military has a real problem with Sentinelese being underrepresented in many aspects of military participation, from leadership in combat units to awards of valor. In 2013, not a single person of Sentinelese descent was promoted. Further, while records appear to be intentionally not kept, it appears nobody of Sentinelese descent was admitted to West Point since, at least, 2010.
It is time Congress step up and address this tragic discrimination against the Sentinelese and perhaps establish a quota system or reduced standards to allow them to be more fairly represented.

Not a single award for brain surgery was given to a woman prior to 1950 even though not a single patient died on any female brain surgeon’s table. A 100 percent success rate!
The man was abandoned at age 2 in Pusan, with his sister who was about three years older. He has been looking for her for a long long time. “My name is Jason Chandler Cushman and I was born in Pusan, South Korea in 1981. I have a sister who is a few years older me. I believe she is probably 37 now and her name is “probably” Ahn Jong He. Our mother left us on a street when we were young. I was 2 years old and my sister was 5 or 6 I believe. We were taken to an orphanage and my mother later returned for only my sister. That was the last time I saw her. I found this out when I returned to Korea in 2000 during a Holt International Motherland tour. I was 18 years old at the time. (snip)

I’d be a lot more interested in Paintchip’s view of US Military Awards for Valor if he had a DD-214 of his own. Or if he could refer to a member of his immediate family that served honorably in the US Military. Otherwise, it just sounds like a badly-transcribed bowel movement…

Random Thought:
Yahoo wants to spin off its stake in Alibaba. Of course, it wishes to do this with the least tax liability possible. The IRS refuses to give any guidance… preferring to keep their random method of interpreting tax rules a secret until after the fact.
This is what America has become… a nation of flexible rules rather than a nation of clear laws… wielded selectively by a vindictive government and wrapped in secrecy until used to punish those not on the favored list.
The government is no longer working for the people… and generally not for America… and sometimes not even for big business… and frequently against its own long-term best interest.
Alison Parker’s Dad: ‘They Messed With The Wrong Family’
Father of Virginia reporter shot on air reaffirms push for gun control
Parker hopes for ‘tipping point’ in debate as he calls for background checks
In the end, this Mr. Parker guy will be there(unless he’s executed) to shame the NRA and the GOPer’s scared of the NRA.
FoxNOTnews relentlessly stated…”We cannot talk about this(gun control) so early after someone was killed by a gun.”
The father of the victim(Mr. Parker) disagrees ❗ FoxNOTnews follows the NRA rule: SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN begotten by numerous others from S. Korea’s SAMESUX to 2016 GOP hopeful candidate Chris Christie who repeatedly tells folks to “Sit Down and Shut Up” no matter where he is. 😯
Walmart is smart to quit selling a product that isn’t selling(AR-15s), and their decision ain’t political like FoxNOTnews lies about. Don’t tell me FoxNOTnews is in the Walmart boardroom and knows why decisions are made? FoxNOTnews didn’t report that they were a fly on the Walmart boardroom wall…so how do they know? They don’t ❗ They just report their own created lies as usual.

“I have been in contact with Mark Kelly, who is Gabby Giffords’ husband, who was very gracious to reach out to me,” he said. “And we’re going to get together in Washington. Senator [Mark] Warner has also, you know, told me: ‘Whatever we can do to help and facilitate that, let me know.’ Mayor [Michael] Bloomberg’s people have reached out.”
Parker added: “You always think there’s a tipping point. We always thought that when Gabby was shot, something would happen; with Sandy Hook, something would happen; with Aurora, something would happen, and it never did.”
Parker’s rhetorical approach echoed that of Senator Bernie Sanders, the independent Vermont senator who had appeared on the programme in the preceding interview to repeat his message against the “same old, same old” procession of politics in Washington.
Advertisement
“I was listening to Bernie Sanders … and I like what he said,” Parker said, after promising to “hold the politicians’ feet to the fire”.
“He said, and it applied to another matter, ‘same old, same old’ doesn’t work, and it applies to this issue. The reason he’s doing so well in the polls and Donald Trump is doing so well is that people are tired of the same old, same old.
“The difference in this situation is [such feeling has] got to apply to sensible gun control legislation. Controlling the loopholes in gun shows, doing those kind of things.”
What this man doesn’t realize is that no one is going to make too big of a deal out his daughter’s death. This won’t be the case that makes the gun control cause for a couple of reasons. The main reason being that the shooter was black and killed the victims because they were white.
It was a hate crime by a black man and forcing it on the public too much will get people to go against the other major liberal crusade: special treatment for minorities.
Another issue is that he used a pistol, which is the firearm most used to murder people in the United States. It doesn’t play into the “AR-15’s are evil” narrative. Why aren’t politicians pushing to take away handguns instead of AR-15’s?
Which leads me to a question for you T Bone:
What is the difference between a hunting rifle and an AR-15 style rifle?
What is the big deal? Disarm Democrats and the killings will stop. 😛
“Mark Kelly, who is Gabby Giffords’ husband”
At first, I felt very sorry for Gabby and Mark.
Then, I realized they are just more elitist limousine liberal shytbags pushing for restrictions on others that don’t apply to them.
Then I felt very sorry the shooter didn’t finish the job.
Serves me right for, in a moment of weakness, feeling sorry about misfortune to any politician.
The incident I am referring to is Mark Kelly testifying about how bad guns are… and then buying an AR-15 and a 1911… and then getting caught… and then making up some thin excuse he was trying to demonstrate how easy it was to buy these guns… a non-point with no purpose… especially in the way he bought them. Meanwhile, photos were leaked of Gabby playing soldier to “toughen my image”.
So… guns are a tool to increase political power… and guns are OK for them to buy… and everybody else needs more restrictions. Regardless of ideology, all Americans should recognize and condemn elitist and exceptionalist behavior among those who make/push for rules.
There are some factors in violent crime that are more common than guns… and when politicians are serious about reducing violent crime, they will bring these to pubic attention.
Until then, it is all bullshyt.
“Then I felt very sorry the shooter didn’t finish the job.”
Wishing death on other innocent person(s). Classic EGGHEAD 🙄

Flame war. You in, NRA?
http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/editorial-flame-war-nra-article-1.2341123
“Handheld flamethrowers — yes, the weapons of war capable of spraying streams of fire 25 feet long for more than 30 seconds — are commercially available in the United States for the first time, for the low, low price of $900 (no background check required).
Sane public officials — concerned about, oh, maybe, arson attacks on gas stations? — want to ban or at least make it very hard for people to get hold of the devices, as California and Maryland have already done.
Which leads to the obvious question: Where are the NRA Second Amendment absolutists?
America’s gun lobby stands mindlessly with those who make and market military-style assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and other efficient killing machines, and against attempts to require background checks for all gun purchases…
…Which is why, in the name of consistency, the NRA and its legislator lemmings must rush to the defense of America’s poor, besieged flamethrower manufacturers. Fire away.”
“Wishing death on other innocent person(s). Classic EGGHEAD”
I wish death on all those who strive to push needless controls upon me which they avoid for themselves.
If there was a more humane solution, such as them just going away, that would be fine, too… but these type of people don’t just go away… as they are never happy until they have complete control over everyone… with extra satisfaction if the controls they push for actually increase their lifestyle.
Therefore, death is really a better solution to wish for.
Tbone, how do you feel when someone pushes you down to build themselves up? Do you lick their boots?
I’m thinking a switch from paint chips to bacon bits on someone’s salad when they were younger might have saved us all a lot of trouble…

NRA Host Warns Parents Of Slain Virginia Journalists To Not ‘Become So Emotional’
Colion Noir is the NRA’s effort to get a younger demographic. For example, if you’re old enough to have kids. you’re too old to agree with his point that parents shouldn’t be so emotional when their kids are shot to death.
http://freakoutnation.com/2015/08/this-is-disgusting-nra-host-warns-parents-of-slain-virginia-journalists-to-not-become-so-emotional/
“And to the parents of Alison Parker and Adam Ward, I have no right to tell any parent how to grieve for the loss of their child,” Noir says, “Grief-inspired advocacy can be extremely effective and powerful and I say run full speed to find a way to end violence like this.”
“However, sometimes in a fight we can become so emotional everyone and thing starts looking like the enemy, even if they’re there to help us. I’m deeply sorry for your loss,” he adds.
At one point, Noir says, “Turning this murder into a gun control dog-and-pony show minutes after the shooting because you can’t make sense of what just happened is ridiculous.”
Nor also pointed to Hillary Clinton and President Obama, saying, “and the rest of the gun control Wu-Tang Clan are so full of it” because “they try to take advantage of people’s ignorance about guns and their emotional response to horrible events to win votes and push an agenda that fosters an unhealthy dependence on the government…”
Is Mr. Noir a heartless blob of unconscionable goo ❓
A gun can’t kill a reporter…
…but a black homosexual can…
…so controls must be put in place on blacks, homosexuals, and black homosexuals… and especially black homosexual former reporters which is the most dangerous of them all.
A good proposal is that all blacks must be registered (assisting in voter ID laws, as well) and there needs to be a waiting period (a.k.a. “cooling off period”) before engaging in any homosexual acts. Former reporters must be kept separately from video cameras and items such as high capacity batteries and large capacity recording media should be banned.
It is time to get serious in stamping out this epidemic of gay black former reporter violence.
Shhhhhh!
Don’t tell those fanatics over that rock in the Sea of Japan, but the U.S. President just changed the name of an entire mountain by executive order and the National Parks Service is already printing new maps. 😮

Better grab your copy of Maxim Korea before they are all sold out, or recalled:
http://news.yahoo.com/thousands-called-maxim-korea-pull-132914298.html
While Maxim here in the U.S. has done well to rejuvenate its image, Maxim Korea is headed 100 mph in the wrong direction with this disturbing cover. The cover depicts a man casually enjoying a cigarette while a woman’s dead body is stuffed in the trunk of his car. The image is for Maxim Korea’s September issue, which has a “bad guy” theme, and features an actor notorious for playing villains, Kim Byung-ok. Next to Byung-ok is the copy, “So girls like ‘bad guys’? This is what a bad guy looks like. Dying for him, right?”
Hmm… Are sales lagging? Trying to brush up some business with a “controversial” cover? Is this in the news in Korea, or just a puff-piece by some SJW at Complex?

http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2015/09/02/North-Korean-drones-trespassed-into-Souths-airspace-Seoul-says/7131441214441/
SEOUL, Sept. 2 (UPI) — South Korea said North Korean drones trespassed into the South’s side of the demilitarized zone several times during the high-level talks in August – but Seoul’s military was unable to shoot them down even after they entered South Korean airspace.
The drones flew across the midpoint Military Demarcation Line inside the DMZ from Aug. 22 to 24, and even flew over General Outposts, where the military keeps a close watch over the border, Yonhap reported Wednesday.
The DPRK flew one (or more) of their hobby shop UAVs over the DMZ during the recent negociations, and the South launched attack helecopters and fighter aircraft to possibly shoot it down.
Really? A multi-million dollar fighter jet to take down a photo recon drone? I have a feeling that in the future, there will be swarms of anti-drone drones stationed in the DMZ area, to create a defense in depth buffer zone.
If the VC and NVA were able to down choppers and low-flying aircraft with essentially medieval spear and stone throwing gear, it would amuse me to watch the DPRK reaction to ROK anti-drone spears and slingshots… Much better if in fact the weapons were designed to be ineffective against actual aircraft and mass-produced and deployed

15 years. I don’t recall many criminals getting that much time, but I didn’t see that many criminals in the news in Korea that weren’t drunk soldiers, or drunk and drugged “Englishee” teachers.
For longer term residents, and Korean speakers who watch the news, is this a common sentence for a knife attack, or is Kim, Ki-Jong getting Bonus Time based on who he attacked?
Those of you who talk of shooting down drones with slingshots have never shot at drones with real guns.
Protip: good luck with either
I don’t think they could hit a “real” drome with a slongshot’ but the Norks are flying stuff from Walmart… 😀

That’s the point… little fixed-wing drone are really, really, really difficult to hit.

…and when you hit them, they don’t crash unless the motor or elecronics are hit.
Whatever the case, don’t be coming near my drone with your schlongshot. Im not really into that…
…unless you are a 6 foot German woman in a latex catsuit.
Two people were flying drones over our home recently.
Apparently it was a really expensive one with a “30 pound payload” according to the retired policeman who came to our home to warn us about some middle eastern looking guys flying a drone over our home.
Weird stuff.
But, as I mentioned we are prepared (slingshots, and other stuff).
Flying a drone, should’ve said. There was only one.
The cop chatted them up and they bragged about the “payload” and so forth. It’s unusual here. We live on an Island, very small community and everyone knows each other.

What about privacy rights protection? Seems to me whether they are legitimate targets or not, the subject of mechanized intrusion (i.e. drones) is an interesting one. If surveillance cannot be accomplished by a person on the ground from property where the surveillor (whether government or private) has a right to be why should they be entitled to hover over the air in that spot?
Reasonable expectation of privacy applies. If one is hovering over an area open enough to the public where privacy would not be expected, it’s one thing. Some drone hovering and taking video footage of a guy’s teenaged daughter sunning herself on a private roof it another. Can the government get a search warrant if they had footage of her smoking a joint in an area that one would assume a reasonable expectation of privacy?
@39- Drones are the wave of he future which laws and government regulators and still trying to catch up to. With major businesses like Amazon pressuring the government to allow them to begin drone delivery services I fully expect this will be worked out over the next five years. Think how many jobs will be replaced by drones such as the pizza deliveryman?
I think the FAA is a big hurdle for drone delivery services. The biggest one.
I have no doubt it will happen, but air traffick issues are a real potential concern.
I have friends (drone operators) who have started their own business, own the drones, and have lots of business contacts just waiting…and the above is what they have told me.
And the debate drones on and on… 😉

Most of the types of drones we have been addressing are (at present) annoying but not lethal. Lethal drones sent across a border are a clear Act of War, just like warplanes, warships, armored vehicles, or commandos.
I suppose a high-powered laser might be a better tool. Even if it didn’t disable the drone, it might disable any optical devices (cameras, etc.). Not sure portable “death Rays” are available yet. And thpse described in Popular Science aren’t on my budget.

Sorry Kim Davis, GoFundMe’s New Policy Prevents Conservatives From Raising Money For You
As we’ve seen a dizzying amount of times, conservatives have used the popular fundraising site GoFundMe to enrich and support people who they believe are on their side of the “culture war” – including officers who have killed unarmed black teenagers, Tea Partiers who got sick after refusing to sign up for Obamacare, and an endless number of bakeries run by Christians who want to discriminate against gay people. Watching these bakers and cops make fortunes (literally) just by “standing up” for conservative values has had the effect that anyone with a conservative point of view and a desire to be flooded with money can milk the conservative GoFundMe cash cow.”
Young black man jailed since April for alleged $5 theft found dead in cell
Jamycheal Mitchell, 24, had been held in Virginia jail without bail for nearly four months, accused of stealing a Mountain Dew, Snickers bar and a Zebra Cake
BUT HE WAS INNOCENT ❗ Show me a young white man jailed for four months on an alleged 5 dollar theft ❓
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/28/jamycheal-mitchell-virginia-jail-found-dead
If you take a deeper look into Jamycheal Mitchell, you will find the real story.
He was a career petty thief… going to jail every now and then for exactly the same thing… chronically ripping off the productive class for instant gratification… and that is only for the times he got caught or the victim was willing to press charges.
He was in jail awaiting transfer to a mental health facility, where he had spent time before.
He stopped eating and taking care of himself… so the reality is he committed suicide… which is why it is being treated that way.
He was simply another professional parasite and he killed himself for not getting his way.
Black, white, or anything in between, good fukking riddance.
So is tbone against elected Democrats? Kim Davies is one. Or does he just go after the white wimmin?
Just more libtard on libtard violence. Nothing to see. Move On.
BTW, constant quotes from dailykos and the guardian mark paintchip as a possible contender for the next $5 cell…
Mentally weak and obsessed with other folks’ stuff..
Best to get out and get a job. I hear they need computer repair in Madison, WI…
In fact, indeed.com is a healthy site for underemployed folks looking to better their situation.
Less fluff than LinkedIn and less politics, too.
I think DAC wouls approve of me altering this little ditty ever so slightly…

Kim Davis is a woman of principles.
She stands with God against those who would destroy the sanctity of marriage.
All you haters who support the perversion of flighty gay marriage over the solid bond that only a man and a woman can share, should look to the leadership of Kim Davis and support the lifelong commitment that only true marriage can offer.
My argument might be a bit stronger if Kim Davis hadn’t been married 4 times… including, for the win, divorcing her first husband because she got pregnant through adultry with the guy who would later become her third husband after having twins out of wedlock and then marrying her second husband.
She might only have a doublewide and a stack of divorce paperwork to her name, but at least she has Jesus to guide her.
Yep, Kim Davis is a hypocrite.
That’s like a person who has had 4 abortions taking a job at a public health clinic and refusing to prescribe oral contraceptives as soon as she’s too long in the tooth to get pregnant.
She kind of reminds me of Cindy Sheehan.
If I were the gay lobby, I would pick exactly this sort of person to “make a stand”.
Maybe we’re being played.
@51- Chickenhead, great update on who she is. 😈
@53- Liz, it seems like it is all a publicity stunt on her part to draw attention to herself. 😕
@41- Liz, you are right that the FAA is the biggest hurdle. However, Jeff Bezos is leading a charge to get laws updated to allow his drone delivery service to move forward. With his money pushing this I think in five years the laws will be worked out to determine the size, where, and how high drones can fly for commercial purposes.
Davies is a Democrat sacrificing herself for the time, just like Zimmerman shooting Obama’s imaginary son.
Kim Davis is an illegal citizen right Gi Korea? She’s also a dumb hating racist & homophobic who can’t find anyone to support her but GOPer’s and GOP presidential WACKO candidates i.e. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee 😳
Police LIE of course DUH ❗ ❗ ❗ Officer shot his own patrol car, Massachusetts police say
I’ll report on other BAD COPS being BAD LIARS soon…
http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/03/us/massachusetts-police-cruiser-shot/
(CNN)A part-time Massachusetts police officer lied when he said somebody shot at his patrol car, causing it to crash and catch fire, a police sergeant said Thursday.
“We have determined that the officer’s story was fabricated,” said Mills, Massachusetts, police Sgt. William Dwyer. “Specifically that he fired shots at his own cruiser as part of a plan to concoct a story that he was fired upon.”
The officer in question is 24-year-old Bryan Johnson. He is facing charges of misleading a criminal investigation, communicating false information to emergency services, malicious destruction of property over $250 and unlawful discharge of a firearm, according to Mills police.”

Read this Book written by Premilla Nadasen
Bookworm: ‘Household Workers Unite’ powerful and inspiring but the voices and their memories are what matters. ~ The untold story of African American Women who built a movement
http://savannahnow.com/accent/2015-09-06/bookworm-household-workers-unite-powerful-and-inspiring
“Edith Barksdale Sloan pushed the movement along when she became head of the National Committee on Household Employment. Other influential women bore their share of the movement, just as today’s activists help protect the workplace rights of caregivers, personal helpers, and domestic workers of all races.
Imagine seeing a federally funded monument to the “black mammy,” standing in our nation’s capital. Yep, in 1924, the United Daughters of the Confederacy tried to build exactly that, and it was “furiously opposed.”
That’s just one of the stories you’ll read inside “Household Workers Unite.”
This isn’t your curl-up-in-front-of-a-fireplace kind of read but it is a pleasure, especially if you’re a historian, feminist, or domestic worker yourself. “Household Workers Unite” will make you think as it eats up every speck of your time.”

Colin Powell chooses peace over war this time(video) ~
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/iran-nuclear-talks/colin-powell-iran-deal-pretty-good-deal-n422551
“It’s a pretty good deal,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Critics concerned that the deal will expedite Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon, Powell added, are “forgetting the reality that [Iranian leaders] have been on a superhighway, for the last 10 years, to create a nuclear weapon or a nuclear weapons program, with no speed limit.”
He said the reduction in centrifuges, Iran’s uranium stockpile and their agreement to shut down their plutonium reactor were all “remarkable.”
“These are remarkable changes, and so we have stopped this highway race that they were going down — and I think that’s very, very important,” Powell said. “
Black Couple Sues White Neighbor After Years Of Racial Abuse, sounds like the white boy and the city will have to pay the black couple. 😎
http://www.drudge.com/news/191197/black-couple-sue-after-years-racist-abuse
The couple says they were targeted for years by their neighbor in Gainesville, GA.
A black couple who moved with their kids to a house in Gainesville, Georgia, is filing a lawsuit under fair housing law against the white neighbor who targeted them for years with racist abuse — and the city that employed him for not doing anything to stop it. Gregory and Sophia Bonds say the abuse by Roy Turner Jr. began the day they moved in and sometimes occurred when he was working as a city garbage collector. Once he pointed a gun at Gregory Bonds, leading to a police standoff. Turner admitted calling them a slur to an AP reporter. “I said ‘porch monkey,’” he said, laughing. “That’s just a joking-around term.”
I think I might like the new neurosurgeon Republican candidate.

CH, you often provide information that is, shall we say, both suspect and in greater quantities than desired. Have you not learned that you cannot shoot first and ask questions later? 😯
“Have you not learned that you cannot shoot first and ask questions later?”
If you feel under some obligation to ask questions, you didn’t do enough shooting.
Rumps Believers are Morons and Rump Himself Thinks so. You Suckers ❗
http://gawker.com/donald-trump-believes-his-supporters-are-morons-hes-ri-1729279807
“Donald Trump is a leading presidential candidate. How is this possible? Only through the sort of extreme gullibility usually seen only in casinos or fundamentalist religious revival halls. There is no other way. Donald Trump is not a politician. Donald Trump is not a thinker. Donald Trump is not a theorist, or a moral leader, or a man who possesses philosophical convictions other than egoism. Donald Trump is a cartoon clown whose immutable role is “Grossly Exaggerated Rich Guy Stereotype” in the drama of American pop culture. And now, thanks to a high polling number, we are all forced to listen to the media discuss his “policies,” as if he has any. One might as well put a pig in front of a microphone and thoughtfully transcribe his oinks as you interview him about supply-side economics.
“I love the Bible,” says Donald Trump. “Nothing beats the Bible.” Can you conceive of a more blatant piece of hucksterism? Every single syllable drips with the utmost condescension for the intelligence of its listeners. Donald Trump, a born-rich real estate developer with gold faucets in his penthouse, standing on stage in Iowa or Alabama or Michigan, telling you that he loves the Bible. At least corrupt televangelists have the decency to memorize a few Bible passages to bolster their scam. Trump’s crude version of Bible-thumping consists of nothing more than uttering the word “Bible” and watching you, the credulous salt-of-the-earth Christians, clap until your palms are red. It disgusts me to even have to go through the charade of pretending to contemplate whether or not Donald Trump is truly a Good Spiritual Christian. It is time wasted engaging seriously with sheer idiocy. Donald Trump hops from his garish branded helicopter and immediately tells you, the crowd of agog yokels, that he loves nothing more than the Bible, the book of love and humility, and you all accept this at face value, because you too love the Bible, and you think helicopters are really cool. Donald Trump is a third rate carrot peeler salesman at the county fair, and you are the knot of bored marks entranced by his patter, rushing to shell out your dollars for his bauble.”
Freddie Grays Family Gets $6.4 million in settlement and the police union ain’t happy 😆 Now the criminal trial for 6 cops that murdered him will begin. Freddie Gray was worth more than 6.4 million dollars. 🙁
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/freddie-gray/bs-md-ci-boe-20150908-story.html
“Former Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke said the settlement — expected to be approved Wednesday by the city’s spending panel — was a “very positive development for the city.”
“The mayor and her staff are trying to do all they can to heal the wounds in the community, and this is a step in the right direction,” said Schmoke, president of the University of Baltimore. “This settlement will give some people in the community at least some sense of justice.”
Under the proposed settlement, the city is accepting all civil liability in the April arrest and death of the 25-year-old Gray, who suffered a spinal injury while in police custody. The city does not acknowledge any wrongdoing by police, according to a statement from Rawlings-Blake.
“The proposed settlement agreement going before the Board of Estimates should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial,” her statement said. “This settlement is being proposed solely because it is in the best interest of the city, and avoids costly and protracted litigation that would only make it more difficult for our city to heal and potentially cost taxpayers many millions more in damages.”
CH, I’m sort of a “Strategic Thinker” along the lines of Curtis LeMay. Must be the time I spent in the Air Force (back when Jimmah was CinC).
1. “We should always avoid armed conflict. But if you get in it, get in with both feet and get out as soon as possible.”
2. “War is never cost-effective. People are killed. To them, the war is total.”
3. “Successful offense brings victory. Successful defense can now only lessen defeat.”
4. “We can haul anything.”
5. “If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting.”
6. “To err is human, to forgive is not SAC policy”
7. “The price of failure might be paid with national survival.”
My best friend had tee-shirts made up for his crew that said “Nuke ’em ’til they glow… Hunt ’em at night…”
Peter Hitchens is very eloquent: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-3223828/PETER-HITCHENS-won-t-save-refugees-destroying-country.html
Every one of the posturing notables simpering ‘refugees welcome’ should be asked if he or she will take a refugee family into his or her home for an indefinite period, and pay for their food, medical treatment and education.
If so, they mean it. If not, they are merely demanding that others pay and make room so that they can experience a self-righteous glow. No doubt the same people are also sentimental enthusiasts for the ‘living wage’, and ‘social housing’, when in fact open borders are steadily pushing wages down and housing costs up.
I guess you can’t buy North Korean beer any more:
http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2015/09/09/US-suspends-importer-of-North-Korean-beer/3631441822248/
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (UPI) — The Justice Department has suspended a Korean American importer of North Korean beer – and has banned him from working as a foreign agent representing Pyongyang.
Steve Park, also known as Park Il-woo, is a veteran businessman and president of Korea Pyongyang Trading U.S.A. Radio Free Asia reported in 2011 Park received permission from the U.S. government to import North Korea’s Taedonggang Beer, but Park’s failure to file tax returns starting in 2008 was one of the reasons his agent status was recently terminated.
So, if you’re willing to file the paperwork, AND your taxes, you can take over one of the rarest beer imports there is.
Has anyone ever tried this? I don’t remember it being for sale at the DMZ when I did the tour. They had a very few NorK items for sale, but they did sell NK won and a few handicrafts, I think.
@48 Dupe setnaffa says…”BTW, constant quotes from dailykos”

Obama Punk-Slaps the Entire GOP Field!
Folks, I thought First-Term-Obama was special–but this Second-Term-Prez is truly special. Today, at a labor day speech in Boston, he punched republicans in their political faces eight times:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/2015/09/07/obama-says-republicans-hurt-working-people/71838730/
HE SAID:
1. They are trying to “re-brand themselves as the party of the middle class” while opposing efforts to raise the minimum wage and bragging about busting unions.
2. “You can’t say you care about working people and then do things that hurt working people.” Obama said in a Labor Day speech to the Greater Boston Labor Council.
3. Obama signed an executive order requiring federal contractors to offer employees up to seven paid sick days a year.
4. He said: “I say to Congress: find a way to make paid family and medical leave a reality for all Americans,” the president said. “It will be good for business, not bad for business.”
5. “Republicans know that with a quality education, a good job and the freedom to make their own economic choices, there is nothing an American can’t accomplish.”
6. Without naming names he said: “one Republican was “bragging about how he busted unions in his state.” The president was clearly referring to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who became nationally known for restricting the collective bargaining power of state employee unions as part of his efforts to cut the state budget.”
7. He also slammed Christie for saying: “a union deserves a punch in the face.” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said last month that the American Federation of Teachers deserved a punch in the face for endorsing Clinton.”
8. “Quoting Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, Obama said, “What is it about working men and women that they find so offensive?”
This is who we are!
This is what we stand for!
The only way we can win is to be aggressive. We can’t “policy-wonkify” our way through this process, we have to speak with one singular voice as Obama did and punch them in their political faces.
Tell them to their faces to quit lying about supporting the middle-class and back it up with facts. I’ve learned all of their code words now:
1. “small businesses” really mean large corporation
2. “simpler tax” means more tax cuts for the wealthy
3. “secure medicare” means destroy it
4. “repair and replace obamacare” means destroy it
5. “secure the borders first” means treat Hispanics as second-classed citizens
6. “all lives matter” means we need to shut-up and take our murders like men
7. “horrified by planned parenthood” means I really need evangelicals in my camp
8. “take America back” means get them AAs out of our White House!
9. “the economy is in turmoil” means obama saved America from a great depression
10.” I won’t lead from behind” means I’m starting wars with Iran, Syria and maybe Russia too.
That my friends is their story and we need to make them choke on their own words.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/07/1419199/-Obama-Punk-Slaps-the-Entire-GOP-Field?detail=email#
Right Wing GOP War Hawks in the Senate are planning to vote on a resolution of disapproval on President Obama’s HISTORIC diplomatic agreement with Iran on Friday, September 11. They are shamelessly using the deaths on that tragic day(9/11) to try and instigate another war of choice.
The good news is that our President Barack Obama has 42 Democratic and Independent senators who support hid diplomatic agreement and are willing to give peace a chance(GOP HATES PEACE like servicethemselfmembers ~ tools of WARHAWKS and…The military–industrial complex/Congressional complex, comprises the policy and monetary relationships which exist between legislators, national armed forces, and the arms industry that supports them.
Our President Barack Obama can secure his deal and prevent another war on FRIDAY if all 42 of these senators stand firm and filibuster the resolution of disapproval. 😎
Medals of Honor awarded since the decorations’s creation in 1861…equates to 3,471 to the nation’s servicethemselfmembers/sailors/airmen/marines/and coast guardsmen
The President of the United States, in the name of the United States Congress, has awarded 3,471 Medals of Honor to the nation’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and coast guardsmen since the decoration’s creation in 1861.
Question ❓ How many of those 3,471 awards went to women ❓
“Question? How many of those 3,471 awards went to women?”
The REAL question is, “How many of those 3,471 awards went to people of Sentinelese descent?”
The United States military has a real problem with Sentinelese being underrepresented in many aspects of military participation, from leadership in combat units to awards of valor. In 2013, not a single person of Sentinelese descent was promoted. Further, while records appear to be intentionally not kept, it appears nobody of Sentinelese descent was admitted to West Point since, at least, 2010.
It is time Congress step up and address this tragic discrimination against the Sentinelese and perhaps establish a quota system or reduced standards to allow them to be more fairly represented.
Not a single award for brain surgery was given to a woman prior to 1950 even though not a single patient died on any female brain surgeon’s table. A 100 percent success rate!

“My name is Jason Chandler Cushman and I was born in Pusan, South Korea in 1981. I have a sister who is a few years older me. I believe she is probably 37 now and her name is “probably” Ahn Jong He. Our mother left us on a street when we were young. I was 2 years old and my sister was 5 or 6 I believe. We were taken to an orphanage and my mother later returned for only my sister. That was the last time I saw her. I found this out when I returned to Korea in 2000 during a Holt International Motherland tour. I was 18 years old at the time. (snip)

I’d be a lot more interested in Paintchip’s view of US Military Awards for Valor if he had a DD-214 of his own. Or if he could refer to a member of his immediate family that served honorably in the US Military. Otherwise, it just sounds like a badly-transcribed bowel movement…

Random Thought:
Yahoo wants to spin off its stake in Alibaba. Of course, it wishes to do this with the least tax liability possible. The IRS refuses to give any guidance… preferring to keep their random method of interpreting tax rules a secret until after the fact.
This is what America has become… a nation of flexible rules rather than a nation of clear laws… wielded selectively by a vindictive government and wrapped in secrecy until used to punish those not on the favored list.
The government is no longer working for the people… and generally not for America… and sometimes not even for big business… and frequently against its own long-term best interest.
