Bernath plane crash

I’m sitting here waiting for some word out of a courtroom across the country in Multnoma County, Oregon, something besides MCPO’s message “OMG” I just got. So here, play with yourselves.

OAE CPO USN Ret

I’m wearing out the refresh button looking for word from the West Coast.

ChipNASA

I hope the next words are “Taser”, “groin” and “handcuffs”.

OAE CPO USN Ret

Kinky!

Virtual Insanity

*ow*

Diet Coke in the sinuses!

AW1 Tim

Not near enough, in my book, but it’d be a start. Not knowing who is being discussed, I can’t really make a definitive suggestion, but regardless of who it might be, I’m certain that that isn’t enough.

🙂

Ex-PH2

Taser? You want taser? Your wish is my command.

Ex-PH2

Sitting on tenterhooks is not my idea of a good time.

SJ

Please Jonn, cane we have new thread on happenings from the Left Coast? This sorta new format buries shit.

Danke.

David

“Isn’t someone supposed to cut the grass on this airstrip occasionally?”

ArmyATC

Only if the pilot keeps fuel in the aircraft.

OIF '06-'07-'08

But, isn’t that what the prop is for?

AW1Ed

Most useless things in aviation-

Altitude above you.

Runway behind you.

AND GAS LEFT IN THE FUEL TRUCK!!!

Idiot. You never have too much fuel onboard unless you are actually on fire.

AW1 Tim

True dat. Like Lex used to say, you can never exceed the low altitude record. You can only tie it.

With airspeed & altitude most all things are possible. Even gliding. More or less.

A Proud Infidel®™

I remember reading “Every flight ever taken is a battle with gravity, which always wins in one way or another.” As I see it, letting your plane run out of gas is surrendering ASAP!!

Gravel

I miss Lex.

It’s been my great honor to share a few beers with him at Mil-Blog conferences.

Roger in Republic

The propeller is to keep the pilot cool. If it stops watch him sweat!

Richard

“Aren’t the little wheely things supposed to come down?”

“Where’s the Starbucks?”

“Being on the ground alive in a corn field beats the crap out of being up in the sky and out of gas!”

“Is there someplace around here I can change my pants?”

“Honey, do we need a REAL lawyer?”

NHSparky

OMG? That’s it?

That’s either really good, or really bad.

OIF '06-'07-'08

Good for TAH, bad for the fake Honorary CPO.

AW1 Tim

Yeah. That’s what I’m thinking too.

Sapper3307

Look its naught his fault nobody tells you that an internal combustion engine needs fuel anymore. But a $10.000.000 lawsuit helps you feel better. IMO

A Proud Infidel®™

He not only sued the airplane’s manufacturer, didn’t he sue his flight school as well? Oh, and HE LOST both cases, didn’t he?

C2Show

Its like a twisted riddle, when does birdbrain win? Answer: does he ever?

Just An Old Dog

If I recall correctly birdbath was going to sue the airport he took off from and the oe he was supposed to land at also.

HS Junior

How come? They do a switcheroo on him as a practical joke?

NHSparky

In other news, Happy Birthday, Dad.

Would have been 70 today.

Zero Ponsdorf

I do that every April 25th. KIA Korea 1951.

Please forgive for kinda stealing your comment. Dad has been on my mind more than usual lately. BTW, I was 5.

NHSparky

You stole nothing, good sir. It is good we remember such men have lived.

Will a certain phony CPO be as well remembered or praised? I think not.

Matter of fact, I’m sure of it.

A Proud Infidel®™

I’m certain that said phony CPO will be the butt of many jokes among real Lawyers for years to come!

Mustang1LT

Yeah, I can see it now:
Lawyer: What do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
Everyone Else: Daniel Bernath

Or this:

How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?
If it’s Daniel Bernath, if his lips are moving!

Rimshot, all week, veal, waitresses

A Proud Infidel®™

More like “YEAH, but let me tell you about this joker who called himself a Navy CPO, tried to sue everybody all at once…” Has he ever left a courthouse without making himself the laughing stock of it?

AW1Ed

What’s the difference between Bernath and a catfish?

One’s a cold blooded, slimy, bottom feeder.

The other is a fish.

Virtual Insanity

Does anyone have a docket number, name, or anything for the case in Oregon?

I checked Multnomah County cases for today and didn’t see any names I recognized.

I know, curiosity killed the cat…meow, dammit.

Mustang1LT 's Dog

Where’s that damn cat!?
WOOF!
OVER!

JAGC

My father-in-law, a Navy veteran, passed away this week. He had cancer that was attributed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. He was a Swift Boat sailor and, according to his records, received a bronze star w/ valor and two purple hearts. Great guy and role model who will be missed.

rb325th

Sorry for your loss. May he Rest in Peace. He did his time in Hell for us, and may that never be forgotten.

Sparks

JAGC…Sir I am so sorry for your lose. God bless you and your family. I pray for His peace and comfort during this sad time.

Hondo

My condolences also, JAGC. I’ll raise a glass to the man’s memory tonight.

Different service, but an elder brother-in-arms nonetheless.

SJ

Condolences to you and your bride. Would imagine the gent had some choice words about Kerry over the years?

Zero Ponsdorf

Condolences! I’m a TGYC sailor, with time ashore in Danang. Mentioned for two reasons – The only ‘Nam mud I stepped in was on the way to a bar, and Danang was/is still dealing with AO.

Fair winds and following seas for yet another victim.

A Proud Infidel®™

My condolences JAGC.

OWB

Additional condolences from here, JAGC. May he now be at peace.

Commissioner Wretched

My sincerest condolences on your loss, sir.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Sorry for your loss …

It is said that Brown Water Sailors patrol the boundries of heaven searching for lost souls having trouble finding the shores …

JAGC

Thanks for all the kind words… Hondo, I plan on raising quite a few glasses this weekend in his honor! MCPO, thank you for that. I’ve never heard that one before.

SJ mentioned Kerry. During the election, the Swift Boat group asked my father-in-law to appear in one of their commercials (he attended reunions, kept in touch with other swiftys, etc), but he declined. I don’t think he wanted to turn on a fellow swifty, even John Kerry.

Al T.

My condolences JAGC.

Toasty Coastie

Deepest condolences JAGC…

HS Junior

Sorry about that, sir. God bless him and keep him. Definitely a true hero.

UpNorth

Condolences, JAGC.

AW1Ed

Fair winds and following seas to your Father-In-Law, JAGC.

valerie

Condolences to you and yours. And my thanks.

Ex-PH2

My sympathies to you and your family, JAGC.

Maddie

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand

God Bless you are yours
Maddie

MGySgtRet.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you, your wife and family.

Marine_7002

Here’s to your father-in-law, JACG:

“For the truth is that I already know as much about my fate as I need to know.

The day will come when I will die.

So the only matter of consequence before me is what I will do with my allotted time.

I can remain on shore, paralyzed with fear,
or I can raise my sails and dip and soar in the breeze.” (Richard Bode)

He’s undoubtedly hoisted his sails now, dipping and soaring on heaven’s waves. Peace to you and your family.

Old Trooper

Well, I called and left a vm on TSO’s work phone talking smack about this weekend’s NFL game and his mancrush, Tom Brady. It had to be done, cuz this is Vikings Country!!!!

AW1 Tim
AW1 Tim

Oh, forgot to add:

GO PATS!!!!!!! 🙂

Old Trooper

That’s ok. We have other running backs and Cordarelle Patterson, so I’m not worried.

AW1 Tim

Hold that thought. 🙂

UpNorth

I wonder, where does child abuse fall in the pantheon of things that could blow up in face of the NFL? Do they suspend now, or wait til Peterson gets sent to Diversion?

B Woodman

I caught the barest reportage on this, and I’m wondering if AP really hurt his own child (i.e., left marks and/or injuries), or if this is just another marker down the PC trail? Did he merely dicipline his own child with a swat on the behind? No marks, bruises, or injuries, but a kid squalling enough that AP got busted for “abuse of a child”.

TSO

OT- Was out preparing mentally for the court case today.

Old Trooper

No problem, brother, just wanted to give you the business, before the game. 🙂

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

NE sux!

NHSparky

Not as bad as the Giants.

And before you go defending the Jets, two words–butt fumble.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Got my there … They suck too.

Nucsnipe

Got me a fun weekend of putting the truck back together. People weren’t liking the smoke screen I was deploying behind it for some strange reason

Hondo

Bet it kept most of ’em from tailgating you, though. (smile)

Ex-PH2

Waiting makes my back hurt.

Sapper3307

FIRE MISSION OVER!
How long till we get our first stolen valor Ranger tab rocker warring females?
Is gonna be fun were talking Lightfoot on Meth.

MrBill

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a camo cap to court definitely tells the judge that Bernath respects the dignity of the court and takes the proceedings seriously.

HS Junior

Nah, wearing ratty gym shorts and a tshirt is the way to go. Trust me on this one.

valerie

What it tells the judge is that he has someone who is nucking cuts in the courtroom. Judges handle crazy people (who are acting pro se) with lots of tender, loving care.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Correction:

Appeared to be cheap sports jacket, a white polo shirt and jeans. Everyone else was wearing appropriate suit and tie and equivalent for FEMALE LAWYERS. Yes he tried to provoke me, it did not work, he is much shorter than he makes himself out to be. Some say he walks using a cane … He does not, he walks with a cane.

In summary, not imppressed with him (neither was IMO anyone else who witnessed his legul geeneanus) and I won’t dicuss the case because the judge will rule on a few issues.

Ta Ta …

Mr. Blue

Dressing nice is hard- it is much easier to Photoshop your head onto a better dressed body.
Sadly, he’s not able to do that in real life.

Sapper3307

Danial A Bernath is not gay for pay. But he does need the money.
imho

NHSparky

As they used to say down south, “Well bless his heart.”

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Update from Portland:

OMG … LOL … OMG …

Enigma4you

Master Chief

You Sir are an Evil Evil Man…

Richard

A man of few words. I have to say, the LOL is encouraging.

HS Junior

Tenterhooks can be very sharp and painful, you know.

Ex-PH2

Sitting on them? They’re worse than waiting for Godot.

HS Junior

I think maybe I’ll sue the manufacturer of the tenterhooks, the steel mill that created their material, and the guy that installed them. Sound good?

Ex-PH2

Peachy!

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Bernath is not, never was nor will he ever be a Genuine or Honorary CPO. PERIOD!

This has been established and no court action will ever change that!

A Proud Infidel®™

I think it’s a safe assumption that he never has been and never will be an Attorney at Law in the State of Oregon, his denial of admission to the Oregon Bar Association cinched that!

Hack Stone

But he is an honorary glider pilot.

A Proud Infidel®™

You’re absolutely right, +15 COOL POINTS FOR HACK STONE!!

Ex-PH2

Eeeewwwww! NO! NO! NO!

He cannot come within a nautical mile of being a glider pilot.

A Proud Infidel®™

Ex-PH2, he said “HONORARY” Glider Pilot, didn’t he? *HINT*

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

So if he crashes a glider …

The law suit may go like this:

The aircraft manufacturer failed to provide adequate air speed and lift … Resulting in … Et al … As to … To wit …

Ex-PH2

Proud, you cannot have honorary where there is no honor.

A Proud Infidel®™

OK Ma’am, you’ve pooped my party!!

ArmyATC

Doesn’t that assume the aircraft can be used again? Perhaps an honorary Darwin Award winner? His stupidity hasn’t managed to kill him yet, but there’s always hope.

A Proud Infidel®™

Bernath is the kind of person that you’d wish his horn gets stuck on while he’s driving behind a group of the meanest Outlaw “1 Percenter” Bikers that ever lived.

Aysel

they call those honorable mentions 😉

AW1Ed

Hack Stone wins the Interwebs for today!

HS Junior

Welp, to make this conversation all about me once again…the pills for Lyme are kicking my ass, a couple of cyberbullies are doing their best to force me to stop commenting in some Facebook groups with threats and obscenities, my dog wouldn’t shut up and howled nonstop on the way to school for no particular reason, I slept really badly last night and am really tired but can’t fall asleep on the damn couch. Oh, and my sister is watching Tangled on the couch behind me. This has not been a good day in the history of HS Junior.

valerie

When the pills get to you, whine to your doctor: a change of medicine can be a very good thing. You might even be able to do it by email.

As for the cyberbullies, If they don’t know you physically, ignore them (this can be difficult, but it is doable. Sort of a “scroll the troll” thing.) If you DO know them, and they are in school, report them. Bullying is a BIG THING among among school administrators, right now. You can make picking on you more trouble than it’s worth.

When my oldest son was in high school, they were forced to sit at assigned tables in the lunchroom, and his was by the line of people waiting for their food. There were these jerks that would steal his french fries off his plate. He told me about it, and I asked him if he had told whoever was watching them, and he said that he did, but got no action: they wouldn’t move him, and would not stop the french fry stealing.

I told him that, the next time it happened, he should stand up, use his momentum behind his fist, and hit whoever was behind him. He should do it hard as he could, and then move away as fast as he could. I said if the school called me, I would tell them that he had done as I told him.

I never heard anything about it until much later.

He went to school, and told everybody that he had his momma’s permission to hit anybody who stole his french fries. And that put a stop to the french fry stealing.

HS Junior

Aye, I do my best. I blocked ’em, but I’m still trying to convince the mods of the Facebook groups they smearing me in to block them (they don’t want any part of this). The pills—well, just like cancer, there really isn’t a gentle way to handle Lyme. I already talked to my doctor; I see what she says. Thanks for the input.

UpNorth

Can’t you just block them on FB? Don’t know what to tell you about the dog. And, it’s sometimes hard to get your doc to change meds. My niece takes an anti-seizure med for her epilepsy, but one of the side effects of the medicine is pancreatitis. And, she can’t get the doctor to change the medicine.

HS Junior

Yeah, I unfriended said cyber bullies and blocked them, but they’re trying hard to smear me in a couple of Facebook groups we post in. It’s being handled. I complained to my doc about the meds, but there really isn’t a gentle way to handle Lyme (when I was younger, I had to use a different drug cocktail because my body wasn’t advanced enough to handle the thing I’m taking now that was even worse). We’re working on it.

The bullies—I blocked ’em and unfriended them, but they’re still trying to smear me on a couple of Facebook groups. I’m handling it the best I can.

HS Junior

I also feel after that like it would be a good time to just thank TAH for the being my outlet. This place is great, and it’s a great joy to comment here. I don’t have too many active friends outside of cyberspace at the moment because I’m too tired to hang with anyone, and this place fills the gap very, very well. Thanks for tolerating me and educating me on the military. And thanks for all the good work you do protecting the honor of veterans everywhere.

OldSargeUSAR

You are fighting the good fight, Junior. Chin up, you will win.

A Proud Infidel®™

Just remember this: “A WINNER NEVER QUITS AND A QUITTER NEVER WINS!”

HS Junior

Thanks guys. I try to remember that.

MGySgtRet.

You are a good, smart, respectful young man and it is a pleasure to read your posts. Sounds like you are dealing with the cards you have been dealt in a positive way. Hang in there kid. It will get better. As long as you open your eyes every day, it will get better!!

AW1 Tim

What these other guys said. We were all young and immortal once too. 🙂

FWIW, my youngest is a HS Junior this year too. She’s dealing with similar issues to you, so I have some inkling what you’re having to deal with.

Don’t hesitate to ask for advice.

I love watching competent and amazing attorney’s do their thing.

Oh, and a great quote from the horses… um… mouth:

“Mr. Boutin is a great lawyer, but he isn’t the only lawyer.”

Just thought I’d share that with y’all. I’ll share more when I am given the order for Weapons Free from my attorney.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Great quote from today and allow me to reverse it:

“Mr. Bernath is basically an ineffective pro se litigant, no one is worse.”

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

The judge read him the riot act about how he had treated a very experienced and respected attorney. She happend to be female. In his emails to her, he referred to her as “hun” and made very offensive comments regarding her gender.

Before the judge ruled on her motion to dismiss her client who has no idea who Bernath is or what is going on to his small and twisted mind. The judge said, “and let me warn you, don’t ever speak about a female lawyer the way you treated …”. Or words to that effect. Of course Bernath’s response was, “but I don’t like female lawyers”. Or words to that effect. The judge replied, “I have warned you once”.

This lawyer schooled Bernath better than anyone on Friday. She lit his ass up.

Bernath is a Class A, Type I, Mod Zero Jackass …

His 45 minutes of perjury in response to several like motions will be great reading and quick reference for any court proceeding for ANYONE who needs it in the future.

The court allowed Bernath and gave him much latitude during his perjurous performance.

Yes Bernath, when you tell lies to the entire court and everyone knows the truth and you tell a lie purposefully and knowingly … That is perjury.

Ta Ta …

OWB

Looking forward to the inevitable criminal cases filed against him which will be heard before female judges. You just know it’s gonna happen. Teehee.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Court transcripts are a beautiful tool …

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

CCTV and sound recordings of his school house attempt to provoke me in court will be very helpful to anyone … He responded to me standing my ground with dignity … like a little boy who had Lego creation crushed by a fellow kindergardener.

Ex-PH2

Will any recordings be available for later viewing after all is concluded?

A Proud Infidel®™

It just keeps getting better and better. I wonder how deep Bernath will have buried himself when it’s all over with?

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Pretty much completely …

A Proud Infidel®™

I figured that Bernath has dug himself so deeply he’s now about three feet underground from Moo Poop Ding Dong, CHINA!!

Toasty Coastie

That Unfortunate Phallic-Shaped Hedged Santorum Stained Birdbrain Bernath does not like ladies who use big words containing more than 3 letters or refuses to use Hooked On Phonics to help him understand what is being said….He needs more tutoring from DiMwItDuLlAsS and Psul Psalmer Wickre, the Carnival of Stupidity Cadre.

A Proud Infidel®™

SHEEEEE’S BAAAACK! Howya doing, TC?

Toasty Coastie

Doing ok for right now Proud, thanks…good days and bad as they say…but I’m a tough old bird so I’ll get through it.

I left you a message down thread, but will say it again up here…good luck on your surgery, will be sending lots of light and love to you for a quick and easy recovery 🙂

Flagwaver

You’re still in our prayers for healing, my friend.

Kinda old ET1

From the snippets that I’ve read, Bernutless quite likely will be paying that female attorneys salary.
Bet that burns his ass.

does Friday count as the weekend? I haven’t peculated a fat Giduck yet. More coffee? More meatloaf?

John Giduck – the turd with a face.

Duckwalk, people!

HS Junior

Extra spicy tacos and craft beer, friend. That there’s the stuff.

Hondo

Plus frijoles refritos. Do not forget or omit the frijoles.

Azygos

Maybe just a snack of kim Chee and pickled eggs.

And MCPO you forgot to say

OVER…

Seadog

Funny you should mention that. I bought the ingredients to make one of my semi-annual batches of kimchee.

I’d make it more often, but the rest of the household gets pissy…

HS Junior

Have you considered the ramifications international regulations on the manufacture and possession of chemical weapons could have on your project?

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

It ain’t OVER ’till the fat lady sings … However, if you listen closely, in the distance you can hear her warming up …

Short weekend at home before heading “out west” again.

Picking up bits and pieces here and there, but it sounds like the fake CPO is down big on all the judges cards, and the chances of him scoring a 15th round knockout aren’t exactly within the realm of possibility.

I’m sleeping nice and sound tonight.

“The Obama administration’s decision to enlist the Defense Department in responding to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is raising concerns that the task is pulling the already-stretched military away from other missions, including vital counterterrorism operations.”

No shit, Sherlock.

The Hilton in Portland is very nice.

John Robert Mallernee

Before I went into the Army, I used to work there as a houseman.

One time, when on leave from Viet Nam, I splurged and got me a room at the Portland Hilton AND ate supper in that rooftop restaurant.

Is the YMCA and the AFEES still directly across the street from the Portland Hilton?

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

John,

I don’t think so. I am watching the Balor v. Buffalo game, drinking martinis and eating oysters. The Hilton bartenders are easy on the eyes … If you know what I mean.

3/17 Air Cav

MCPO……your within a couple of blocks of Jakes. Great sea food. Before you leave town you should try it.

Since your staying at the Hilton, you might want try Pendleton. Ita a blend. Comes down from Canada. Blended in Hood River Oregon. Mighty tasty!

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Rog all!

Master Chief,

There is this guy that lives out there, in Tigard I think that gives Tours, He used to be alot of things but a CPO honorary or otherwise was not one of them. But anyway I hear give gives one hell of a tour. Look him up if you have time.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

I think I know who you are talking about and if he was last tour guide on earth leading people to the last known source of potable water … I would die of thirst!

Kinda old ET1

Nah… You would use the skills of reasoning that your long Navy career instilled in you, you would find water and survive.

The lame tour guide? He would lead his hapless followers around in circles until they met their doom.

Hmmmm…

Sounds kinda like real life huh?

Well, poo. I was hoping or a ruling today for a myriad of reasons – one being so TSO could sleep

DuLLaSs has already offered up a double or nothing. Also someone requested that he pay up by making a donation to this site. (smile)

MGySgtRet.

I love a happy ending….yeah, that kind too…..

AW1 Tim

Well now, THAT is the sort of news to brighten up my morning. 🙂

Tom Huxton

How long must we wait for the *rest* of the story?

I would bet that the plane had gas after landing in the corn. 79 degrees on the ground, Dim one would not think to add carb heat while descending at idle. Running rough….. declare emergency. Once the engine chokes to a stop carb heat will not help much. Oh, yeah…. turn gas flow to “BOTH”.

Delilah T.

Is that the equivalent of vapor lock in a 1980 Chevy Citation?

Tom Huxton

Actually, about the opposite. Vapor lock is warm fuel turning to vapor and blocking fuel flow. Carb ice forms from humid air passing through a narrowing carb throat (venturi) The narrow throat is necessary for proper carb function, but increased internal air speed causes a low pressure point which alters the dew point and lowers temp to the point of ice formation in the narrow throat. Thus, ice forms in the narrowest point, restricting air flow and altering fuel flow. Heaters are built in to let the ice fall through. Carb heat will lower performance slightly, and ice crunching through sounds horrid. Ice can form well above 60 degrees outside temp.

Delilah T.

Thank you! That was a helpful bit of info I did not know about.

Delilah T.

Have any of you wondered, even a little bit, how much $$$ bubblebrain promised him for participation in this event?

Kinda old ET1

I’d say none, the lame lawyer seems like he would be a cheap bastard. And since DuLLaSs has his own axe to grind, he’d follow along for free.

A Proud Infidel®™

I’m convinced that DullASS would follow anyone that gives him even a drop of attention like some pesky stray dog!

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Update Portland:

I did not stay at the Hilton. It was my standard rouse. I always stay under an assumed name and I had a detail with me anyway.

I hope Bernath drove himself crazy looking for me last night, although I can not imagine how much more crazy any man can get. He was desparate yesterday.

Without discussing details of case, I can say this, I have never seen a more ill-prepared, disrespectful, uninformed, serial liar and unimpressive self-believing bully … in my life.

I summary, he is not a bully he is a coward, he is not a skilled lawyer, he is liar and abuser and finally he is NOT a Genuine or Hornary CPO, he is pussy!

The judge ruled that he will not permit, allow or accept any more motions and or pleadings in this case!

The judge no doubt will be thoughtful and rule on all the information provided by competant lawyers and review the volumes of lies and garbage that Bernath has flooded the courts with.

BLUF: sue me again … I am onboard for the long haul.

I have a meeting this morning to discuss the way way way forward as we were ten steps infront earlier in this case but now we own the battle space.

For Bernath, I don’t pity you … I will use the justice system for the sake of protecting Mr. Sheppard’s valor and honor. That is what I promised him, that is what I will do.

You have lost and you need a team of lawyers now … For Oregon, Florida and any other place you wish to drag me into you miserable existance.

Nothing further!

SJ

If you can…could you summarize “the case”. It is probably buried in earlier threads but who knows where. Understand if you don’t want to go there.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Won’t discuss case … Judge is ruling on it.

I have respect for the legal system and the judge.

You Rock, MCPO!! I looked at his webpage of drivel, an I’m apparently still living rent-free in his head as well as many others, I still can’t believe he’s also screwing with SCPO Shipley!

Master Chief…You have as always, all my respect and admiration as a man of honor and integrity. I am glad this matter is going the right way. Thank you and the many others for all you have endured in seeing justice done.

Correction:

The judge ruled that he will not permit, allow or accept any more motions and or pleadings with respects to issues addressed in court on 12 Sep.

Oh, and for the record, Daniel A. Bernath is still accusing THE WRONG MAN of being me.

Ex-PH2

Does that idiot still think I’m someone I’m not?

If he’s still pretending she’s me, he’s wasting a LOT of brain cells on more than one ID error.

Ex-PH2

Wow. What a lot of trouble to go through to make yourelf look incredibly stupid.

For the masses:

A – I don’t llive in Buffalo Grove, IL. In fact, I live NOWHERE near Buffalo Grove, IL. (Had to look that one up on the map) And that is definitely NOT my house.

B – That is NOT a photo of me.

C – I am NOT in a wheelchair.

D – Ferrell cats are not a CFA, TICA, or ACA recognized breed.

E – That is not my phone number, although I do pity the poor soul who has it.

F – I don’t have, and never have had, a TV show.

G – Both dullass whipitnflogit and bubblbrain of the left coast have FAR too much time on their hands, time that could be put to better use on snipe hunts at Camp Wobegon.

Mustang1LT

Man, that site is painful. My ears started bleeding and my head was pounding from trying to process that much concentrated stupid!

MrBill

Ferrell cats are so named because their curly coats resemble the hair of actor Will Ferrell.

Sorry, best I could come up with on the spur of the moment.

HS Junior

Being stupid is evidently a full-time job.

A Proud Infidel®™

What the *BLEEP* is a “Ferell Cat”, is that some new exotic breed? Apparently both Bernath and Witlessfart are still shitting flaming squirrels!

Ex-PH2

I think it’s something like this:

Ex-PH2

Well, if you do, and we find out about it…. 😉

That would be an interesting feel good story. Because, unless the person really has all the training they claim, I don’t think they have a snowflake’s chance in a volcano.

HS Junior

Yeah, he’s also suing some random person at my old school he thinks is me. Long story short, it most definitely isn’t. He also seems to think I have ALS. I don’t.

MGySgtRet.

Tell me you are shitting me!! That would be hilarious if it wasn’t so bizarre and sad. Jesus H. Christ, what a toolbag!!!

HS Junior

It gets worse. At one point, he and Witlessone seriously believed one of the TAH ladies (I think it might have been Valkyrie) was Michelle Malkin.

Mustang1LT

Michelle Malkin? I’d love to see them try to serve her with papers. Their asses would end up in a sling in front of a judge and they’d both spend the rest of their days living in a refrigerator box down by the railroad tracks!

A Proud Infidel®™

It looks like they’re headed that way as it is!!!!

Mustang1LT

He sends our comments to SecDef? Really? I knew this guy was weapons grade stupid, but this is on a whole other level!

HS Junior

Whaaaat! Are you…are you suggesting that…maybe the Secretary of Defense and the Congresscritters he sends transcripts of TAH comments to don’t read them or take them seriously?! Aaah, my universe!

Ex-PH2

Oh, I do hope he remembers to include the part about snipe hunts at Camp Wobegon.

It’s nice today, up here where I live on the open prarie. A bit chilly, but the wind is low right now. I didn’t get to see the aurora last night because the sky was overcast, so I have no photos to share, but on the other hand, there are people who couldn’t find their way up here because they’d get lost in a paper bag.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Jonn,

I just left the meeting with the SREYWAL Team.

The Pain Train has left the station!

Note: No actual trains, model trains, trains used for Christmas decorations, locomotives, early 1800 century steam driven vehicles or trains depicted in children’s coloring books were actually harmed in the crafting of the above message.

Ta Ta!

Sparks

Master Chief…Thank you for the relief Sir. I love trains and I was getting worried there for a minute. But your caveat put me at ease.

Ex-PH2

Oh, crap! Hot tea w/milk almost choked me to death!

Are you f@#$cking kidding me? He sent something off to SecDef? To Hagel?

Oh, dear God, someone stop him before he tries to find out which part of the Pentagon Jonn Lilyea lives in!!!!

On another note, I’m making chocolate chip cookies today, from scratch.

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Jonn,

Based on his behaviour in court yesterday … He probably won’t qualify for that job at Walmart. This so person won’t (did not) even stand for the presiding judge throughout the proceedings.

He offered an excuse that was “noted” by all in the courtroom.

However, since he can’t stand … There is a job that he may qualify for:

Every six months the sewer line mesh baskets on the outlet side of the soiled water system need to be cleaned … He might be able to do that kneeling and stooped over!

Just a thought!

Flagwaver

Remember, if he stands up, he has a tendency to fall over. At least, when he is behind a desk. When he walks down a long hall to the latrine (head) and back, or when he strikes up conversations in the court room, he must have better control over his balance.

A Proud Infidel®™

Ho-lee sheepshit, the SecDef? I’m sure they’ve had the FBI open up a file on him for that. Hey Bernath, don’t forget this one, you were denied admission to the Oregon Bar Association, but yet you still call yourself an Attorney? BTW, you re still accusing THE WRONG MAN of being me!!

Ex-PH2

And he’s accusing the wrong woman of being me!

What a world of fantasy he lives in!

Why do I have a gut feeling that this is the future home of a Non Honorary CPO that resides in the great NW and is having his ass handed to him in a court of law.

I hope so. My wife works there and she would love to interact with the poser.

there is nothing wrong with a bb gun.

I was like the little kid on a Christmas story the first time I got one. Shot the angel on top of the Christmas tree.

I will never forger taking a mouth full of bbs and spitting them into the gun. Was the accepted way of speed loading a 500 shot Daisy lever action.

ROGER WILCO, OVER & OUT!!

I was wondering if Bernath was trying to make people address him as “Chief” in the courtroom or wanting them to say “OVER” at the end of their statements??

Wesley Wilson AKA Enigma4you

I dont give a rats ass what he wants to be called.

I believe the amount of respect due a person is directly proportional to how much respect they give. It will be a cold day in hell with the devil driving the ice cream truck before I call him Chief.

One of my favorite quotes is “Respect and loyalty are both two way streets.” – Richard Marcinco, CPT, USN (Ret.), from his “Rogue Warrior” books. That’s something that needs to be on the classroom wall in every Military Leadership school!

What is there to protest?

You’re right. He’s wrong.

Living in a world of fantasy does not count as a defense, does it?

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

No one spoke to him. The judge limited his input. Bernath was frequent out of order.

Well, the end to my pain is coming soon, the Doctor found out what’s wrong and I go in for surgery Monday morning. It’s outpatient surgery,but I HATE being zombied out on pain meds while I’m recovering. Wish me luck, I should be back up and running in about a week. I sure hope so, the damned pain has been driving me half past berserk this past week!!

HS Junior

Good luck, PI. That pain sucks, but you’re tough and you’ll get through it. You’re great to talk to on these threads; I’ll pray you’re back at 100%!

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Good luck … I had the knife last Tues … And recovered in Portland.

PI, OWB: didn’t see this until now. Best wishes to you both.

And for you, PI: if they give you the “good stuff” post surgery, maybe have someone do a sanity check on any comments you make here while taking same. My very limited experience (also after past surgery) has been that some of that stuff can have . . . interesting effects. (smile)

Ex-PH2

It’s outpatient surgery? I hope they give you enough local.

I wish you well. Please let us know you’re still alive by PM Monday.

Today is the 200th anniversary of the writing of the Star Spangled Banner, originally titled “Defense of fort M’Henery”

O say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation.
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave![

Just got back from a dinner cruise on Baltimore Hoarbor and hotel night out with the other half. The boat skipper got a good spot near the Ft. and while the fireworks were awesome, I actually spent most of the show just watching Old Glory flying over the Ft.
