Wonder if Dear Leader will get in a round of golf today or will he and Mooch have bonding time?

Sparks

SJ…My money is on, Obama is on the links and Michelle is eating an apple through a picket fence.

Nah, looks like he already has plans. Too bad he couldn’t find time for him or his staff to attend MG Greene’s funeral, but a President has to have priorities! God this man infuriates me.

Sapper3307

Looks like CPO Dipstick needs a gas station. If only they tought honorary cpos that planes need fuel to fly. And you need a license to practice in a court of law.

Bwwwwaaaaaaahahahahahaha!!!

So, Ace has an interesting story about how an American Muslim went on a terror campaign in which he targeted gays for murder because they were among the “most unrighteous”-http://minx.cc:1080/?post=351329

Anyway-anybody heard anything about this in the media? No? I thought not. Never forget what we are up against here. The left and the media (but I repeat myself) are about the narrative, not the facts. The Matthew Shepard murder supported the narrative (oppressor vs oppressed) and was useful to the left and the media (but I repeat myself again).

These murders pit one designated victim class against another, which is not helpful to the narrative, so we get crickets from the national media. Propaganda matters and the left largely controls the means of propaganda. That’s why they hate Fox News so much, because it is a challenge to their monopoly over what gets reported.

FatCircles0311

I saw like 20 second mention of it on Special Report, but other than that nope.

Good article about it and other non reported terrorist attacks in the United States: http://townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/2014/08/22/the-jihadi-serial-killer-no-ones-talking-about-n1881731

The Seattle media has done several stories about this guy. A real scumbag by all reports

Marine_7002

I could look at these all day.

I almost did!

Cheese Eater McBlobfish

I am now the leader of a new state, the Cheese State of Blobfish. See this 7 pound block of cheese in my one hand? Now, do you see this knife in my other hand?

If you TAH Cadre do not stop making fun of me, I will cut the cheese!

Cheese,
Dennis “The Blobfish” Chevalier

I see what you did there.

Cool picture of the experimental corn harvester I have read about. From what I have read, it doesn’t use much gas. Still some tweaking to do, obviously. For example, I read that the iPad app is still indicating forward airspeed. Of well, I hope this project is pursued to its natural end. A high sped low drag zero-fuel-requirement low altitude corn harvester will no doubt reverse climate change and save the planet. The man behind this project is obviously a genius. I hope he is getting the fame and notoriety he deserves.

nbcguy54

I hear he used to fly C-130s before joining the TX State Guard as a PFC….

A Proud Infidel®™

GEE WHIZ, did he like, sue the airplane’s manufacturer and his flight school after he wrecked or something like that? I uhh, just heard rumors…

GDContractor

My sources told me the airship manufacturer sent him a case of creamed corn, a pallet of potting soil, and a 99 cent credit at the iPad app store.

A Proud Infidel®™

I’m surprised he didn’t sue the Farmer for not having a softer cornfield to land in!

Sapper3307

Our man is a very famous sport pilot. their a whole discussion page on him for other pilots to chat about his exploits. Maybe John can put a link for our Interweb. Its really worth reading the fact is that HCPO is highly respected in so many committees military, pilot and lawyer.

Fsckity-Fsck

Took a hefty Giduck this morning. Is there any other kind? John Giduck – the turd with a face!

Joboo needs some cigars and rum. Red Sox bats are afraid of Angels curve balls.

Is very bad to steal Joboo’s rum. Is very bad.

For anyone in or near Indiana, Logan’s Roadhouse in Lafayette is doing a fundraiser for Mission: VALOR on Wed. 3 Sept. from 4pm until closing. Percentage of pre-tax total on each check that presents a free ticket is donated directly to the charity. Details at http://missionvalor.org. Working on updating the site, and continuing to look for volunteers.

Meantime, if weather allows, going to grill some hamburgers in a bit to make bacon cheeseburgers. Enjoying fresh melon from the local farmer’s market too. Not doing any real cooking this weekend…

AW1Ed

Remember the old guy outside of every 3rd world bar anywhere, with the meat-on-a-stick snacks? He’s the guy cooking skewers of highly seasoned mystery meat over an open coal grill of some sort, selling them to half shit-faced Americans at a huge profit, while listening to them make monkey or cat sounds? I think I’ve cracked the code on the marinade; keep the monkey sounds to yourself. You’ll need:
Teriyaki Sauce
Brown Sugar
Ginger
Garlic
Black Pepper
Red Pepper flakes
Lime or pineapple juice
Oil, sesame preferred, but vegetable is fine
Sherry, Beer or white wine (optional)
Slice S/B chicken (breasts or thighs) or pork into mostly equal strips. As for marinade measurements, use enough. Marinate in a zip-lock bag at least for a few hours, overnight is better. Thread onto soaked bamboo skewers and grill over high heat ’till just done through. You can reduce remaining marinade to make a sauce, too. Bring it to a full boil, reduce to a simmer and let it go to desired consistency.

“For you, two dollar GI!”
😉

Smitty

Well if I wasn’t hungry before, I am now

Roger in Republic

So do we drink the beer, wine, sherry or do we put it in the marinade? After I pour two fingers of bourbon into the cook, I always add a little to the marinade. Just to appease the Gods, you know?

AW1Ed

RiR,
A good cook always personally checks his or her ingredients!

So to answer your question, yes.

Farflung Wanderer

Tomorrow is orientation…

I can’t believe it. I’m going to college! Not just college, but Hillsdale!

This is crazy.

HS Sophomore

I hope it goes well. Can’t wait to follow you out of HS 🙂

Smitty

Isn’t that the crappy subdivision in Back to the Future?

Old Trooper

No, that was Hilldale. No “s” in the name.

ifcsguy

Good for you. I love Hillsdale. They send me a great newsletter every month. If I had it to do over, I’d chose that college. Best to you.

A Proud Infidel®™

ROCK ON, FW!

Farflung………Enjoy the experience, forty some years ago I remember going away to college. Some of the best memories of my life! Enjoy!

GDcontractor

Never ever ever date a liberal. I wish someone had given me that advice at your age.

Farflung Wanderer

I wish I could have heard that advice at the start of summer… Not a fun bit of time in my life.

Lucky me. I’m surrounded by some of the best Conservative teachers in the country, and the students are just about on their level.

Farflung Wanderer

First day of Orientation is over.

We had Commencement not too long ago.

Wow.

That was an experience to remember.

HS Sophomore

Hey, I have a question for TAH—how did Dennis’s cheese addiction become a meme? I pretty much stayed out of that particular discussion; little too much of teh stoopid there for me.

MrBill

One of his ex-wives related a story of how he polished off a seven-pound block of cheese in one night. That was just too funny/weird to ignore, so the thing just took on a life of its own.

HS Sophomore

Ah. Thanks, that would explain it.

For anyone interested in Iceland and volcanoes, it appears Bardabunga (pronounced bartharboomger) is about to take a big burp.

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/iceland-volcano-may-erupt-caus/32503707

However, the current burping is subglacial, which will produce extreme flooding and may wash out roads, but if you’re wondering what effect an above-surface eruption may cause, the video shows the extent of Eyafjallajokul’s ash cloud in 2010, how much it spread out downwind, and how much money the airlines lost per airline per day. (Pity poo.)

It’s raining. Trying to read. Tropical humidity. Will live through it.

AW1Ed

Ever been to Iceland? A pretty girl behind every tree.

Of course there are few…well, you know. There’s a reason the Apollo astronauts trained there for the Lunar landings.

CLAW131

Nope,never been there.Only seen pictures. Always was kind of strange though. Iceland is mostly green while Greenland is mostly ice.

Twist

I’m sitting in Fred Meyer while my 12 year old is trying on school clothes. I have seen 3 men and 2 women walk by open carrying and there is no fuss going on. I’m so glad that I live in Alaska instead of New York.

Roger in Republic

Funny that you should mention that. Yesterday I saw a pretty young lady walk into our local grocery store packing a Glock on her very shapely hip. I talked to her later and found that she prefers the .357 Sig to the 9 MM. Of course this is rural eastern Washington state so open carry here doesn’t bring a SWAT response with an M-RAP and a helicopter like it would over in the peoples republic of Seattle.

Twist

My wife carries a .357.

Phildo carries his Famciclovir in his pocket.

HS Sophomore

Well, this is pretty disappointing. A comedian offered to fly the Westboro Baptist Church first class to Iraq to protest IS, but after they accepted, he backed out and donated the money to charity. Sheesh, some people just HAVE to take the moral high road.

A Proud Infidel®™

I also read the those inbreds have promised to “protest” at Brown’s funeral in MO. Wouldn’t it be a pity if some of the locals there decided to issue them some “‘hood justice” for screeching around there? The Police can’t be everywhere at once, you know!!

HS Sophomore

Yes, that would indeed be a real shame.

Roger in Republic

The real shame would be if any of them survive the encounter with all of the pissed off mourners.

nbcguy54

Speaking of justice (ha) and the unarmed, defenseless poor mr brown, I read where a MO senator stated that if the cop wasn’t convicted, she promised there would be more rioting and looting. She also told the governor “fuck you”. If it matters, this senator is a black female. And we wonder why we have problems in black communities…Sounds to me as if she just gave permission to the masses keep pilaging and plundering. If that cop goes to trial he’ll have to go to North Dakota to get a fair one.

nbcguy54

Maria Chappelle-Nadal is her name.

Roger in Republic

Someone needs to swear out a warrant charging her with Incitement to Riot. Sounds like she is not a lot smarter than the folks that voted for her.

HS Sophomore

Yeesh. And here the gubermint’s campaign laws say I’m not mature enough to run for office…

NHSparky

Okay, flame suit on…

There’s a new drink called the Michael Brown…

Six shots and flames on top.

Oh, I’m so going to hell..

HS Sophomore

Well, you’ll be so busy greeting old friends like me that I doubt you’ll notice the heat.

NHSparky

Yeah, if that’s the worst thing I’ve ever done…

Time to read some rebuttal paperwork this morning. I could use the laugh.

SFC D

I just received a rather disturbing offer from the VFW. It’s apparently open season to enroll in the TRICARE and CHAMPVA supplemental insurance plan. Sounds very nice, until I read the entire offer. There’s a friendly letter stating how much it will help me, how it fills in the gaps, etc. There’s a lovely table showing my monthly premiums based on age, current TRICARE coverage and duty status. Multiple payment options ranging from monthly billing to automatic bank withdrawal. But there’s something missing. Nothing in the flyer actually spells out what I get through enrollment. It does say I will receive more information after enrollment…

I think we’ve heard that before. Apparently you have to buy it to find out what’s in it. Anyone else get this in the mail?

CLAW131

Yes,I just got one of those in todays mail. Didn’t even open it up.Ripped it into quarters and tossed it into the trash. Not paying any monthly premiums to TRICARE now,so why should I start? More unsolicited bulk mail.(Can’t say junk mail as my wife is a retired USPS Postmaster)

HS Sophomore

Well, I haven’t been on the blog long enough to see a Stolen Valor Tourney, so could somebody do me the courtesy of filling me in? How does it work, when does it start, etc.?

John "Faker 6" Giduck

Mr Sophomore

There is only one thing that needs to be known about the Stolen Valor Tourney: I WON! (in the toughest field ever at that)

I finally won something that I deserved. Queue the “I’d like to thank the Academy” speech. Normally, I’d have to buy my way into famedom.

none of the current Stolen Valor bums can hold a candle to my transgressions

Mr 3307

Phildo is real mad about the Stolen Valor results. He’s fight dancing all over this motherfucker right now. Phildo has worse flow than Hugh Hefner’s penis.

People may under-estimate me simply because my most secret of weapons are my marble sharp wit and, instead of being steely-eyed and barrel chested, I remain bleary-eyed and barrel bellied.

New talent can wipe all they want. They’ll see an image of John Giduck on the toilet paper that is clearer than those made famous by the Virgin Mary herself. They can also go straight to hell with gasoline drawers. No one else holds a donut to me.

HS Sophomore

No, Mr. Giduck. In all this site’s years of exposing the scum of the Earth, never has it encountered a creature of such lecherous disposition as you. Truly, even in the face of lesser glory from minor deities such as Phildo Monkress and Dullas Whipitnflogit, you took your rightful crown as the high king, indeed the Zeus, of posers by exposing a legitimate SF operator and placing him and his entire family at risk in an attempt to preserve your radiant phoniness as the truth. Truly, oh Almighty gooey dick, no one will ever top that.

John "Faker 6" Giduck

Finally someone who gets it. Welcome to Team Giduck.

You did beat Commander Phil Monkress at All-points Logistics.

That was tough.

But as pointed out, new talent is emerging every day.

HS Sophomore

Aye, so they do. And in the same way we give shoutouts to all the men and women who work in the shadows for no credit to keep us safe, a shoutout to those on this blog who devote so much time and money to dealing with them. Thanks guys.

I see that DullASS Whipandflopit and whatshisname are still accusing THE WRONG MAN of being me. Those two still have not found me, and *YAWN* they bore the hell out of me every time they say either the *SLUUURP*man cometh or the papers will be served any day now.

Dullass can pay Capital One credit card to bulk mail everybody in Merica for him. I bet you will be found about ten times a month.

Someone decided to go flying this weekend, and forgot to fill up the gas tank. Guess it didn’t go as well for them, either:

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

SITREP:

Returned from FOB PR and now back at FB NYC. TD’s and TS’s did not trouble our mission.

This week PNW is on radar along with annual trip to water park!

Oh: Is not, never was nor will he ever be a Genuine or Honorary CPO. PERIOD!

Yeah, had a “fun” weekend someplace “out west” but looking forward to trip home for the long weekend.

The latest on All-Points Logistics and their Felonious CEO, Commander Phil Monkress.

My buddy contacted some offices and personnel over the weekend inquiring as to Commander Monkress’ Native American, SEAL and LEO claims.

Senior staff, when called, (to included Birdwoman, the Bottomfeeder and the “less than honorable” COL W.) claim they do not know him and have never heard of him. Yep. You heard that right. And they have never heard from my buddy before. He (Phildo) is the CEO and they have no idea who he is. Great integrity and honesty. Now you can see what the purpose of APL has become: An ATM for senior personnel and Phildo. Screw the product and employees, lets just get paid before we split in the middle of the night before the audit comes (and I believe it may be in the works.)

Several rank and file employees (they are available in the weekend timeframe if you know where to look) refer you to Phony Phil (who’s AA just hangs up on you). However, many laugh and make remarks about the situation. Loosely translated, they know that Phil and his senior staff are collusive and operate with nefarious intent (and are phony, fraudulent shitbags).

Additionally, they (lower tier folks) are not happy at some new personnel decisions. It would appear that there is another purge in the midst.

Also, the Houston office is cool. They really do not like Phony Phil or Smith.

Check out APL’s new website and give them a buzz. Be polite, be professional and above all, tell them what you think.

John "Faker 6" Giduck

Obviously a very different experience from Archangel Group where the person answering might be my alternative personality

I like my fake online personality that answers phones at Archangel Group better than APL’s real people that answer the phone.
