Nine years of This Ain’t Hell
Nine years ago this day, I was put in a time out at the Conservative forum, Right Nation, and I got tired of being muted, so I started this blog. I knocked around the internet trying to find my niche and started out by exposing the anti-war protesters, mainly the military folks who lied about their service to get media attention.
I met TSO at the Iraq Veterans Against the War Winter Soldiers performance art series where we chuckled through the testimony. I brought him to the blog soon after. IVAW kind of petered out after we shined the light of Truth on the organization and it’s membership, so then we kind of switched over to finding general phonies as a sideline to commentary on military matters.
These days we spend more time talking with lawyers than we spend writing stuff, but the fun never ends. Last year we had over 3.8 million unique visitors my first year as a full-time blogger. There are now countless folks who do what we used to do by ourselves in regards to Stolen Valor. However, I don’t see the phonies going the way of the communists at IVAW, though. More phonies are ending up in court because of their bad behavior, so that’s always good.
Folks are always asking me about my health, so I’ll tell you that things are the same now as they were last year – you know, the year that I beat the DRC’s death clock. Unfortunately for them, I’m probably going to outlast all of them, despite their predictions. The quality of my life will be a lot better, too, mostly thanks to the VA coming through for me in most instances.
My birthday gift will come out of the California Bar Association, though.

Congratulations on the blog. Too bad that the events in Los Angeles won’t be live streamed.
Here’s to nine more years, and beyond.
Congrats Jonn, and thanks for dealing with all the nonsense and putting on such a great blog.
Happy anniversary, and many, many, many more to come!
I second this emotion.
Congratulations on a successful pursuit of your vision. It’s always gratifying to start a project and have it find success.
In addition to the congratulations, I would also add a heart felt thank you Jonn.
I’m an opinionated, cranky old fart as I’m certain my words have shown, but thanks to you I feel comfortable running my mouth here in a way that I never feel comfortable in my day to day life. So thank you and congratulations Jonn, and I’m glad your health is remaining consistent for you.
May you get many, many more years (think decades) out of this project.
Semper Fi brother. What you did with this blog has made a world of difference to me.
Bravo Zulu!
Congrats on 9 years! LLAP
Thank you for helping curb the out of control virus of stolen valor, and for me, a place to feel like I’m surrounded by peers and comfortable sharing my opinion, generally about the pervasive stupidity amongst the unwashed masses.
Now look at what you’ve done! I hope you’re proud of yourself, young man.
(You should be)
Thanks Jonn for all you’ve done to shine light on the cockroaches hiding under the refrigerator of honorable service.
Will the 166 page comic book loaded with perjured statements be a part of the case against said wannabe lawyer?
I followed COB6 over here when he shut down his blog, and have enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks for providing a place I can run my yap on occasion, Jonn – and thanks for letting me.
But more importantly, thanks for exposing some of the low-life bastards out there claiming honors they never received, and claiming to have done stuff they never did. Good men died doing the things many of them falsely claim. Honoring the memory of those good men demands exposure of those false claims.
I’ll just drop this silliness right here.
Happy Birthday TAH and all you freaks especially Jonn.
You’re good people.
Except you dickheads and you know who you are.
😀 😀 😀
Congratulations Jonn
Happy Birthday TAH!
Happy cake and Candle/Anniversary Day Jonn….
😀
Happy Anniversary and may there be many, many more!!
Many more, Jonn, many more. And thanks for providing this cranky old soldier a soapbox.
BREAKING NEWS:
Pope Francis to canonize Jonn today at secret ceremony deep in the hills of West Virginia at TAH Worldwide HQ!
That is all!
PS: BZ Jonn!
IF ONLY
I have not been on the TAH for the but I found a home. I am here for the info and exchange of opinions of regulars. Exopsing the POSers is just icing. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTE to this blog. Live Long and PROSPER . Joe
Hooah! Congratulations Jonn – here’s to many more!

So glad you started this even though I spend way too much time here…even more than Bernasty.
On this joyful occasion, would suggest folks thump the offering plate by hitting the “donate” button at the top if they haven’t recently. Jonn needs ammo, cigars, and Class VI.
Did my donation last week. $100 a month and we call it CHUMP CHANGE. Not as TAH are chumps. It means “no biggie, so we serve a extra set of legal papers’. BERNATH, I’M STILL WAITING TO BE SERVED..PEEK A BOO, I SEE YOU ? ? ? ??
Happy B-day This Ain’t Hell! This year, on Yom Kippur no less …
Yep, I think you just might have found your calling…success for many years to come ye hoser.
Congrats John keep up the Great Work.
Good Luck to the CA Bar today.
Phonies should burn.
Joining the group to chant Happy Anniversary and many more!
Add a cluster of ribbons to your blogger shadow box, youve earned them!
Thanks Jonn and keep up the good work. Fuck you, Bernath.
CLIMB..Don’t say that! BERNATH WILL THINK YOUR ASKING HIM FOR A DATE OF DINNER, WINE AND ?
Congratulations on the anniversary milestone, keep up the good work!
My days start off a little brighter when I get to read the feel good stories and even used them to convince my wife that having a gun, knowing how to use it, and not being afraid to use it at the right time are all good things.
Happy Birthday to TAH and the founder of the feast !!!
An anniversary certain to bring a giant case of the ass to posers and DRC sailors all over the land !!!
Keep it up Jonn, we love you. Glad to know that you have outlived the Doctors bad day news.
I have also achieved that milestone after being told I would probably not live more than 6 months.
It’s fun to watch them be amazed at our longevity.
Nine years of TAH despite HOW MANY odiferous disheveled imbecilic slovenly sniveling Swamp Donkeys that have said they’d sue and shut it down? TAH ROCKS!
Happy Birthday TAH! You’ve done amazing things here Jonn! Hell, you were doing amazing things long before you started this site.
Congrats, Brah.
Sometimes this place is the only sanity for the day.
Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary, Jonn.
Lisa’s loss is our gain. Keep up the incredible work you, TSO, and all the others around here do.
Happy Anniversary, Jonn! And Many, Many more!
You certainly picked a growth industry, never going to run out of posers to expose and Stolen Valor cages to rattle.
Congrats, Jonn for nine years of service to those in uniform, those that have served and those that are supporters. I hope that the Lord allows us to be blessed with your presence online (and in person) for many, many more years to come.
Thanks for being here Jonn. Qapla’!
Been a faithful, daily follower for close to that nine year mark. Stumbled across the site while stationed at Fort Knox years ago. Thanks for the daily laughs and news.
I haven’t counted the phonies on our Stolen Valor page, but Dave Hardin tells me there are more than 600. I only know that I had to go to 2 Terabite external drive to keep the files backed up, you know, if we have to go to court with any of them.
First..Congratulations and thanks for starting the site. I predict that your not going anywhere in the near future. As a person who has served his country with pride and honor, outing Stolen valor perpetrators, you’ve done more good things then the average person.
Buddha will bless you with long life and hopefully some nerd will find a cure for your condition.
As far California, the decision will be made on Friday and Buddha has no use for liars, thefts’, harassers’, loud mouth, chicken ? crybabies. I pray he reincarnates them as sheep in a sheep fucking country.
Extra trips to the Temple to ask for forgiveness for the hatred in my heart for Not CPO and that verdict is your birthday gift.? ??? DISBARRED
I stumbled across TAH about six months ago, linked from another blog if I recall. I’m now hooked and generally check in at least a couple of times each day.
Happy Anniversary. Many, many returns of the day!
Happy Anniversary and thank you for one of the best, must read blogs out there.
Happy Birthday/Anniversary TAH!
Jonn,
I think we both know that we’re on the same page, guess the work you and I did a couple of years ago proves one thing, Two heads are better then one.
Happy Birthday Jonn, and keep up the good work.

In this insane world, I’m glad Jonn is here to help decipher the insanity for us…
TAH has been a blessing of sorts for me. I don’t remember when, or how, I first stumbled across Jonn and this place.
However there IS one element that all the well deserved congratulations thus far has ignored so it falls to me to point it out:
Jonn is a CUTIE!
Just checked the calendar and it continues into October 2nd. I can’t believe it’s still going on. The Prosecutor did his part, so that means BERNATHS MOUTH WON’T STOP TALKING or he’s waiting to see if Bruce can serve me. Oh, my bad, Bruce isn’t serving crap. Look for another process server. WAIT! WE CAN SERVE THE SUBPOENA! Call us..?
