Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns child.You gotta love the Marines!
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
The King wanted to go fishing, so he called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours.From my email.
The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days, So the King went fishing with his wife, the Queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey.
Upon seeing the King the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area".
The King was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him."
So the King continued on his way. However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition
Furious, the King returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster.
The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain."
So the King hired the donkey.
And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions.
The practice is unbroken to this date and, thus, the Democrat symbol was born!
While Congress talks, President Trump has laid the groundwork for parental leave, infertility coverage, a dependent care flexible spending account match, bereavement leave, a vacation purchase program, adoption assistance, domestic partner health coverage, health care continuation for work-related fatalities, and gender reassignment procedure coverage -- without enacting a single law, regulation, or mandate.Here's how.
[W]e have the grand game of make-believe and moral dress-up, in which Field Marshal Sandy (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) rallies her troops on Twitter in the service of a half-organized bouquet of slogans and prejudices that no mentally normal adult — and there are still a few of those around — takes quite seriously. The purported goal of the great national deployment isn’t the point — the deployment itself is. It is an excuse for a great deal of noise and running in circles and excitation and displays of Very High Moral Seriousness that is its own reason for being. Sandy’s war is not a struggle over the future of Earth — it is only a struggle over the future of Sandy....Read it all.
In the age of the Kardashians, O’Rourke may be the perfect candidate. He is in because he is in. He should lead because he likes to lead. We should applaud and watch in awe because that is our role.Bingo!
Hey Dick, let's get a few things straight!To be fair, while the lady is quite correct in excoriating Sen. Schumer and his co-conspirators in Congress, she is wrong on one fact: Social Security was a Ponzi scheme from the outset. There was never a time when money was put away in an interest-bearing account for the benefit of the taxpayer; every nickel that went in on Monday was paid out (less an 'incompetence skim' called overhead) to a Social Security recipient on Tuesday. On the rare occasions where there was a nickel left over at the end of the year, it was deposited in the Treasury general fund and an IOU placed in a cabinet labeled 'Social Security'. Now that it's payback time where recipients outnumber taxpayers, either recipients will be cut or taxes hiked.
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FORTY YEARS.To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence.
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).
3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.
5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from Medicare to pay the bills.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.
Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 40+ year political career?It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.
2. At what age will you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much will you receive in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?
And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed leech.
That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.
And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.
P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT AN INSULT!
I have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years. "It's my money"- give it back to me the way the system was designed and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out these monthly checks .
Despite how persuasive the words of John Rawls and other ‘social justice’ advocates may be in the world of words, demonstrated facts in the world of reality raise the crucial question as to whether the redistribution of income or wealth can actually be done, in any comprehensive and sustainable sense. Where, instead, there is simply a humanitarian desire to see the less fortunate have better prospects for a better life, the ‘social justice’ argument is both unnecessary and an impediment to joining forces toward that end with others who do not happen to share the implicit assumption of that particular social vision.Buy his book. Read it.
Beto gets away with drunken car accidents like a Kennedy, he appropriates other cultures like Elizabeth Warren, and he marries into wealth like John Kerry. He’s the total package!And he steals from Al Gore.
1. End private airplane flight.How 'bout them apples, Alexandria?
No problem. I gave up years ago when I found I couldn't afford a family and flying at the same time.2. Dam every waterway to create hydroelectric power.
I've already got a dam; just need Alexandria and her minions to install the turbine to run the generator. Of course she has to pay for it.3. Adopt a law requiring that thermostats not be able to be set higher than 65 degrees when heating or below 77 degrees when cooling.
Sorry, but the limits have to be 70/72 for me to accept.4. Free electric cars.
I can probably make room for one car, provided she pays for installation of the charging station. But I'm not giving up my other two.5. Solar panels and windmills on every home.
I've got plenty of south-facing roof for Alexandria and her minions to put solar panels on. Her nickel, of course. Windmills are a bit touchy in my neck of the woods unless she wants to take out several hundred trees.6. No smart phones.
No problem; I hate them.7. Nuclear power for all.
Yes, agreed. One in the center of every city having a population greater than 100,000 to minimize the transmission lines.
Governor Cuomo put the ban in place in 2016 in response to the Tar Heel State’s efforts to stop men from using the women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and showers and it’s not yet been repealed. It was initially described as a ban on “official travel” for state employees, but the rule affected more people than state government workers. The ban also applied to travel by anyone using state funds.Since the team has raised its own funds, it should tell Cuomo to get screwed, go, compete and dare him to do anything about it.
Until now I have never figured out Crazy Bernie’s appeal, but I now think I have the answer. The people who like Bernie never took high school physics and are innumerate.More specifically, they're called "Democratic Socialists."
"Acknowleding biological sex is not inhumane. It’s actually inhumane to force women to share intimate spaces with male people who call themselves women. ... So I don’t see any problem with calling someone male or female, man or woman, beause these are words that refer to biological reality. ... We need to acknowledge biological sex. Doing so is not inhumane."I was right; "It" is a proper personal pronoun....
The lesbian [Julia Beck] was testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). She testified that the gender identity protections in the law undermine the central goal of keeping women safe from "male violence."
She also strongly objected to the idea that if a biological male identifies as a woman, everyone else has to refer to that person as female and use female pronouns.
A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new 2018 BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man named Cliff in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?”That, folks, is what the problem is and they are sitting on both sides of the aisle.
Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, “Sure, why not?”
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Apple iPhone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ..
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Apple iPad® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Galaxy S5® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.”
“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?”
“You’re a [freshman] Congressman for the U.S. Government”, says Bud.
“Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”
“No guessing required.” answered the cowboy. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know shit about how working people make a living – or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.”
“Now give me back my dog.”
You can't shine a turd.It's time to return to the Good Old Days and kick the social justice warriors out of polite society....
Nonsense. Use Turdle Wax.

Trump does not exist in a vacuum. In 2016 he was the Never Hillary candidate for millions, and in 2020 he may be seen by even independents and former Never Trumpers as the only thing between them and socialism.Read it all.
Carlson notes that job opportunities in traditionally male jobs are shrinking in rural America, while jobs in traditionally female jobs are holding steady. But is that the entire story? Men are not barred from jobs in schools and hospitals. Nor are they barred from learning skills that will help them land jobs in other flourishing sectors (italics added).The italicized part is exactly the problem. Remember Hillary's admonishment that out-of-work coal miners could 'learn to code'? Progressive dogma to the contrary, coal miners can 'learn to code', but there are few such jobs requiring those skills in coal country - and the people who live there don't want to leave. Kevin Williamson of National Review had a similar lament about problems in his childhood home of Odessa, Texas a few years back. Traditionally male jobs in the oil fields were drying up (pun unintended) and the men, and their families, didn't want to leave.
Conservative: I think, therefore I am.Ask a question. Any question. If the response begins with "I think ..." the respondent is a conservative; "I feel ... ", well, you know not to pay any further attention to the respondent.
Progressive: I feel, therefore I am.

Living in the world as it is isn’t an argument against working towards a better future.

Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a famous children's novel by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), similar to his novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
"Thank you for this. I watched it and love it. He was a great guy who loved our soldiers in wars, he made them laugh and for few hours forget where they were. There will never be another Bob Hope. The Hollywood group is really so bad, they don't love our country. I shared this video on my facebook page, so the rest of my friends enjoy it as much as I did."A sentiment I share. Watch. You'll laugh and you'll wonder what has happened to the country we love....
