Weekend Open Thread
So, the weekend is here and you guys have been chomping at the bit for a few hours. I threw in this picture, but I don’t think this fellow is serious, but he’s good entertainment. So, talk it up, folks.

FIRST……(bitches!)
While Y’all were clawing and scratching to be first, I was enjoying the hot summer sun, doing some mowing than skinny dipping the pool to cool off. I will stick to being first on the Morning Feel Good Stories. Someone has to get outside and do some work.
And thank you for that visual, Frankie Cee. Someone please pass the brain bleach?
Frankie pllleeease no more mental visuals!
First!
Dammit! *kicks rock*
FIRST AGAIN!!
😀
Cheating.
I bet you were pouncing refreshing your screen every 5 seconds.
I’ll be on top again soon too…
Yeah, you wish. Usually, it’s the other way around, isn’t it?
Never !!!!!,
Ain’t always a bad thing 😉
I’m tracking:)
We maybe down in your neck of the desert this weekend
Thanks to the internet, we do in fact have proof towards the point:
“That’s What She Said.”
Ex- PH2 wins this round.
(And the next 11 rounds in this fight too…)
I don’t recall ever seeing Ex-PH2 lose a round
Sideways is good too 🙂
Im in!!!!!
Dang, I only got 3rd place.
I gonna go and hunt a lion to celebrate my 3rd place.
By the way, if anyone ever thought about hitting the “donate” button, this would be the week to do it. Between lawyer and blog expenses, a couple of bucks a piece from you would really help out. You know I never shake the tin cup at you, but some help would be appreciated.
Done !!!!
Snail mail if that ok.
It’s been done we did the button donation this morning hope it helps
Done.
honestly, I never even noticed that button. Here’s my donation so you can keep up the fight against the DRG, aka NAMBLA.
Done thumped the offering plate. Now can we get a Hot Wash/AAR on the DRC? /smile
I quoted you and Jonn below.
I’m sure we’re all anxious to hear of the monumental ass stomping that somebody in a particular Mid Atlantic State took this week but it may be a little time in coming as I’m certain Jonn wants to have a finely penned narrative (cleared by legal of course) of the experience.
/I’m not a TAH contributor but I *DID* stay at a Holiday In Express once. 😀
I’m thinking we need to donate to a Viole[n]t babysitting fund so that TSO can get enough sleep to craft the report as only he can. Expectations are high, there is electricity in the air and you can almost feel it. The troops want fresh meat… and TSO has been taken out of the game by a three week old baby girl. I think a smoking hot nanny is in order.
I’d be more than happy to assist in the interview process, GDC!
Between Viole[n]t and crying in his beer over the Tom Brady suspension I don’t see how he gets any sleep.
$100 now and $100 more when any or all members of the DRC get disbarred, perp-walked or get a judgement against them,
As a matter of fact, that would be a hella good fundraiser for this blog.
I’m jus’ sayin’…
OPEN..better get the $100 ready..8-27 or 28 Bernath loses his license in California and we will be there ?
I would, but I’m expecting a bill from my lawyer based on the non-CPO’s lawsuit that was laughed out of court.
FLAG-WAVER, I have donated $100 half for you so I CAN HONOR YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND DEDICATION TO THE CAUSE.
My “First of the Month” is on Monday, at which time I will hit you with something. July had about 16 days more month than money and I have been “Tap City” for 10 days. But on Monday that big ol’ Social Security Eagle will take a dump and I will get some of what splatters.
Please consider it done. I’m delighted to help you out, since TAH has helped me out more than once by keeping me from being totally in a mind stew of perpetual sewage, piss, vinegar, napalm, and nitroglycerin
True dat. Get down and come to TAH. Someone will bust your balls (in good camaraderie). Someone will punch your TS Card. Someone will make you laugh. And, the entertainment is great seeing what the DRC will try next. Best value for money anywhere.
Jonn – just sent you $100. You and TSO are taking the brunt of the DRG’s crap (along with a few select others).
Understand about keeping the legal eagles fed and the gerbils running the servers happy.
UH-OH, you mentioned gerbils, just wait and see what someone else says about that on his webpage of IQ-depleting blather! I can see it now: “Milblog powered by gerbil slave labor…”
I have to get off my ass and straighten out my paypal account, and then I’ll be able to send some Shekels to the TAH Top Echelon®™!
API, we all know what the DRG does with various little furry critters and bodily orifices…
Re: Gerbils
The last year or so before I retired, discussions of “Gerbiling” took up a lot of overnight while in the field radio watch hours.
Whether at Carson, Pinon Canyon or the NTC, part of the night’s entertainment was baiting the Kangaroo Rats with peanut butter and a tongue depressor. After a rat was captured, a pool/wish list was held on which shitbag in the outfit should be secured and held down with 100 MPH tape and “Gerbiled.”
But I’m guessing those kinds of discussions are not allowed in today’s PC Army, at least not in the C/741st MI Bn at Fort Meade.
Bullshit. No way a Navy guy is going to out donate me. I did $50 earlier and you did $100? Guess I better send my brother Army Platoon Sgt $51 so I can win. Off to Paypal I go….
It’s all to a good cause… the eventual demise of the DRG.
Hitting the button and THANK YOU, JONN and MARK
Jonn, I talked to my crew and each month we will donate half from us and the other for anyone else on this site who isn’t able. We honor and respect every one of you?? from Reb
K jonn mama Bear gave me the green light to hit da button should be done soon thank you for all the great articles and all I the laughter. With the lost souls LMFAO !!!
I’m ten
Hey I’m in the top Ten not bad…
TENTH, Mo-Fo’s!!!
Wait I’m tenth
Well, SHIT!!! That’s what I get for being a slow typer, any more word about the latest stomping given to the mildewy Sparkle Ponies of The Dutch Rudder Gang?
You know if we just count first post and not secondary’s then you are in the top ten make it number 8 I would say ????
Jonn had this quote in the other thread where it was mentioned….
SJ said: “ feverishly refreshing TAH for this epic post. Hope it addresses all of the DRC asshattery including the “lawyer’s” many transgressions and that abortion of a website.”
and Jonn replied….
” It’s going to take a while, probably weeks not hours.”
then he add this tease…..
” Trust me, it will be epic and well worth the wait.”
We all await news with baited breath.
“Baited” breath, Chip? What did you use for bait, live or artificial? If live, did you use worms? Minnows? Something else? heh
Week old, heavily-garliced kimchi and fish heads.
Damn auto correct and me not paying attention….
““Baited” breath, Chip? What did you use for bait, live or artificial? If live, did you use worms? Minnows?”
“Week old, heavily-garliced kimchi and fish heads.”
Damn you guys. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I think I’m going to have to rinse out with a little of Psul W’s Spandex, Chair Cushion, and Flatulence freshener.
Turn off your autocorrect, you sap. Who owns that machine? You? or the word processor?
We aim to please, amigo. (smile)
What the hell are you fishing for? NorK defectors?
Until I hooked up with TAH I always wished I could be one of those dudes who gets off reading certain blogs and enjoys posting on them using my Johnson as the bat to verbally spank the posers and leave some white sauce for them to munch on. Then it moved up to ass-buggery with pine cones, large end first, covered with hot sauce. Now I find myself getting so pissed over the unbelievable gall of these phonies that I am researching medieval torture equipment used to make it hurt. BAD.
Now I is one. Do we dare solicit ideas for the baddest torture device modern man can create? Surely there is someone who can and would form a team to take it to the posers to set an example. Chances are, I’m full of shit hoping we can have a visiting member team showing up at some poser’s house with a special gift from some special folks. An old man can dream can’t he?
Meanwhile, thanks to Jonn I have something to look forward to every day that I enjoy immensely. Thank you Jonn; a Priority Mail envelope will be on the way tomorrow expressing my gratitude for all you do. S/F
Those pictures……I don’t know if I want to puke or go into a rage and punch a kitten. The stupid, it burns!
I was LMFAO ! ! ! ! The reason. Was delayed posting on here today
Every one of those snotnosed candyassed bedwetting booger-eating Sparkle Ponies are walking black holes of STUPID!
Do I see earrings, a trace of lipstick and fairy wings on the beret flash of our little “MP”?
Earrings = legit. The earrings are actually antennas with which the ultra-sekrit squirrel command is alerted by the Grand Poobah of the Great Warrior Group (GWG). GWG members, disguised as mild mannered office workers during the week, fly off on C-130’s on Friday nights, perform ultra eyes only existence denied secret stuff on Saturday, and fly back on Sunday to their loving families. You could ask them about it, but, if they told you anywhere else but the interwebs, they’d have to shoot you.
He’s a Lesbian transgender with a Penis, so he’s authorized to wear earrings to identify as such.
Its in the new AR 670-1….
Dang..he does have on earrings. We kinda blew it up and it’s earrings ?
Maybe he’s a male stripper in Vegas’? Would be nice without the medals and have a uniform made. Give him a chance? NOT
Maj. Bambi: Meet The Marine Who Was Disney’s Famous Fawn (NPR sorry) http://www.npr.org/2015/07/31/427821763/major-bambi-meet-the-marine-who-was-disney-s-famous-fawn
We can be thankful it wasn’t Cecil the lion.
(Another minute and thirty seconds I’ll never get back.)
Well, try this one instead.
Yeah … I heard that on NPR this morning while driving to work . Laughed my butt off — he has the quintessential gravelly voice of a hardened commander. I’ll bet he had a cigar going during the interview.
Kick Butt, Maj. Bambi!
You people are SO shallow! My clothing was getting bigger, jammies hanging on me, jeans practically falling off me, and all I did was cut out a few non-essential food items that use flour. Except for raisin toast, of course.
So I hauled my Rennie stuff out of the closet and tried on one of my lace-up bodices and lo, and behold, it laced up nicely! That means that I can have a last summer weekend at the nearest renaissance festival in style, and I will.
Pix or it never happened. Oh, and make the quality good enough to enlarge without pixel smear please.
There is just something about sailors wearing lace-up bodices that I find appealing…☺
You made a comment about bodices in a room full of knuckle-draggers?! Gal, for the response you’re about to get, may ye be grateful! 😀
If you need assistance with those laces…
Oh, it was just because they were so busy pawing the ground and snorting, I had to do something to get their tiny minds going in the right direction. Don’t worry. There are plenty of rennie things going one everywhere. I could be anywhere at any one of them.
Yeah, and just because they wear tight little lace-up things doesn’t mean they can’t run you through with a sharp pointy object. Or get the house in the divorce and all your other stuff! But I’m not bitter… (LOL)
Buck up, OldSarge. I’ll buy you a beer when I see you next.
DAMN, YOUR A MA’AM LOL. A absolute honor to know and thank you for your service. You and I could be best buddies. Non Military but have served my country in another system. I would love to say more but Dallas is still on the hunt for my name and location? and he’s blind as a bat ?
ALARACT 122 2015 just came out, so if you are active duty, you can get punished under UCMJ for talking shit about the pResident. So I for one, will shut my trap.
Not Active, not Army and here, let me give you a hand with that Yef
“President” Ballrog, HUSSEIN, Sombrero, Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers, al-Chicago, Chocolate Jesus, B-Rock the Islamic Shock, Barky McTeleprompter, Wizard of Uhhs, BoBo the Clown, Oblahbla, Jug Ears, Little BO Peep, Saunas breach akimbo, Waffles The Clown, Borborygmos Hammerhiem, The Rainbow King, Bukkake O’Bunga, OBIGOT, El Jefe Chocholate, “Jace the Mindsculpter”, Hopey McChangeypants, Oyobi, Bonzo the Time Traveler, La Bamba yo’ Mamma, Samurai Kebab Nachos, Barackabeedoobeedoobeedo, Hussein-In-The-Membrane, Black Thunder, Dr. Utopia, Obamarambo, Fartbongo, II”
😀 😀 😀
You left off two of my favorites:
-The Oba Mau Mau…
-The SCOAMF…
Now THAT will help the Army make their recruiting goals, by golly!
Lets be nice. The prez is coming back from his homeland and ready get down to some serious golf.
My personal favorite is “King Barry”, but to each their own.
When I went through transition, I checked the block on a form that gave me the option to call Barry what I want to.
I have my precious DD-214 woobie.
Fuck you, Barry.
And double fuck you Barry, because apparently, Bergdahl is going to be charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. You traded five major terrorists for that POS.
Sleep well, asshole.
That is nothing new. Making “disparaging” comments about the CINC and other senior leaders while on active duty has always been punishable under the UCMJ in one form or another.
Article 88 only covers comissioned or warrant officers, but I’m sure that even without this reg, if the command wanted to nail you for running your suck about Obama, they could try under Art. 134. Good luck with that, however.
I’m retired since 2012, so I’m free to rest easy under my 214 security blanket and wish that guy in the white house my most sincere, heartfelt, and truly deserved FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON! I can still call Moochelle a horse can’t I?
My Army retired DD214 was banged out on an IBM Selectric III the same year that Barry graduated from law school and before he married Moochelle.
So I’m guessing that would make me pretty safe if I ever wanted to cast any disparaging remarks about our current CINC and his current spousal unit.
Oh, wait, do the Chinese have the ability to access/hack IBM printer balls? If so, I could be in deep shit.
I think you’re insulting the hell out of every horse that ever existed, I prefer “The First Sasquatch” or “The First Wookie”! 😀
Definitely NSFW, children, the clergy or those with virgin ears:
To me she resembles a different animal, but I’d better not go there…
Thank God. I’m out LMFAO….. And my 214 Reactive Body Armor keeps me safe from the.
All New super Sensitive… Army
BHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
What did horses ever do to you, SFC?
Just refer to him as “B. Hussein Obama”, that can’t be described as insulting other than by the leftards that call saying his middle name “racist”, and you still make leftards get their panties in a wad!
Not first, don’t care.
My birthday present to myself–a trip to the orthopedist.
This old shit sucks.
Better than the alternative
Yep. When it’s no longer better . . . it’s probably time.
Yeah, it’s kind of interesting feeling the golf ball behind my knee, aka a Baker Cyst.
I can only hope it’s arthritis and not a torn ligament causing the issue.
Not a big fan of getting cut on, in case you couldn’t tell.
They might be able to drain it. That’s what the doc did with mine and luckily has hasn’t come back (over five years ago now). Good luck.
The alternative is suckier.
Beat me by mere seconds, sj. Shit.
To the guy talking about Bo Gritz in the Facebook comments above: anyone who would run on the same ticket as David Duke IMO is an ass. Further, he’s also apparently not even competent enough to shoot himself and achieve the desired effect:
http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/peace_freedom/patriots_and_protesters/news.php?q=1261082019
A fair number of people consider Gritz little more than a blowhard and a self-serving clown. This link gives some additional background on Gritz, his awards, and his claims:
http://www.miafacts.org/bopics.htm
Let’s just say the author – who worked in senior positions in the US Intel Community and DoD for close to a decade on POW/MIA issues – doesn’t exactly seem to be a fan. YMMV.
The Wikipedia page leads down the path that shows he didn’t earn the medals he’s wearing. Interesting he would post that and ask TAH to do THEIR homework.
Seems the other (multi) poster made that point as well. I vote his pic goes back up, but I’m sure the team can ferret out the details for a special edition on ol’ Gritz.
I have a 7SFG (A), retired WO-4 friend here in the area, as well as many currently active 7SFG (A) types, because it is right up the road from me. I will ask around.
IYIYIYIYIYI. I could have gone the rest of my life without Bo Gritz’s name coming up somewhere, again. Had a run-in with him and couple of his merry band of misfits in Casper. Dude was talking smack, I wasn’t in the mood to be taking any smack and let him know I wasn’t. Two of his merry band took up positions on each side of me to try and help him sway my “opinion” of the beloved, legendary in his own mind “Colonel”. Thank you Lord, the bar owner was present and been paying attention to the little MP that wasn’t backing down. You are a lieing, conniving mother f’ng jerkwad, piece of shit, Gritz and always will be, sir. Oh, I did render “Colonel” a proper salute as Gritz and his ontourage departed the AO, too. *spit* There’s one other that has had his share of capers, too. I may get around to him some day.
I don’t understand why Bo Gritz is the object of discussion at the very beginning of this WEEKEND OPEN THREAD.
That is not Bo Gritz in that photograph.
The name tag says, “PATRISSI”.
Bo Gritz’s picture was up when the blog first started, but has been taken down, too many members heaving cookies into their keyboards, or something.
If you’re active duty Army, remember to keep your posts ALARACT 122/2015 compliant. Make those internet watchdogs WORK for their next ARCOM.
Use code words people!!!
King three putt, That Iranian guy and my favorite, The Anti Christ.
Now, now… I see the anti-Christ as being more competent at his job.
Yeah, the anti-Christ thing never seemed to fit. Three putt is waaay too incompetent.
Can’t make a free-throw, so ‘shoots like a girl’ or ‘can’t hit the mark’ or even ‘no balls in the basket’.
You guys have such limited scope with this! Try harder.
B. Hussein Obama, and my opinion is that Moerk still looks like Gollum in ACU’s with a cheap wig and makeup!
I’m sticking with my own invention: bodaprez. Works for me.
Guess some of us are now required to speak for those who have been silenced in the Army.
Then again, it does rather seem, for some of us oldsters, that not speaking ill of your chain of command was always the rule. When did it become fashionable to do otherwise?
As for the other stuff, yeah, ya can count on the rest of us steppin up to express enough outrage for everyone.
I am sorry, but as an infantryman I have the G-d given right of talking shit about everybody, including my CoC.
Now, I ain’t gonna talk shit about my chain of command with Private snufy, but I will certainly do so in private with my battlebuddies, my fellow squad leaders to my left and right.
Don’t worry, the NCO corp still keeps it professional. We will acomplish the mission and get shit done, no matter who happens to be the OIC.
During the planning part, I let my officers know when they are planning something stupid, but during the execution part, I get it done no matter how stupid and badly planned, because the only thing worst than a bad plan, is not following that bad plan. My squad will be in position, no matter what.
You said “battlebuddies”. -10 cool points.
If you say “Hooah” you’re outtahere!
“HOO HAA”
*runs* 😀
Airborne!
Yes sergeant!
HOOOOOOOOOAHHHHHHH……..
HOOAH.
Back in the ole white name tape (and yellow/black US Army) days, you could not come on Post in a POV that had any kind of a political sticker on it.
Thinking was that soldiers did not have a preference for CINC….but we had to facilitate absentee balloting etc.
If our culture keeps declining at the rapid pace it seems to be, the day is coming when military personnel will be REQUIRED to have political/bumper sticker on their POV before entering a post.
But it will have to be a politically correct sentiment like “Diversity is our strength,” or “COEXIST,” or some such nonsense
Or how about ‘FY and the dog you rode in on’?
…
OK… now I found the link..

I spent all morning in the conference room waiting for Elaine Ricci to give us our annual ethics training. She was a no-show. So the CEO and Acting VP of sales gave the seminar. Longest thirty seconds of my life.
#FreeElaineRicci
You were awake for the seminar?
Sounded like a good chance to do the “just checking my eyelids for pinholes” routine.
Hack, I was beginning to think that you had been captured by the DRG while beating the brush in search of the elusive Elaine. It seems like a very long time since we got an Elaine Ricci update. Have you tried filing a missing persons report with the cops? I guess you actually have had to seen a person before you can report them as missing.
I was waiting for her this afternoon at the Hilton, in the bar, overlooking Macho Grande… I’ll never get over Macho Grande!

What a day, I think I’ll take a dose of Fukitol®™ and wash it down with a beer or three!
I had an interesting converstation with what was a Total Stranger yesterday.
I an on Ancestry dot Com and had a DNA test done. The site allows you to connect woth and message people who may be related to you. I got a message and phone number from a gentleman in Mississippi who wanted to see if he could figure out how we werre related.
He had traced his family back through Alabama and Va ( Where my paternal side had a lot of roots).
Since he is black, the chances are one of his ancestors was a slave of our family and they made a baby. Of course this would never be in the records, but we figured that must be what happened.
There was no animosity about it, we were just two people who were happy to find a distant relative.
It turns out we had a LOT in Common. We both are easy going and have the same sense of humor, a passion for civil War history and he was retired Military as Well ( Army 1978-2011)
Very nice, OD.
Have been contemplating doing the same thing, but to prove or disprove an actual relationship to a very nice young man who swears, confirmed by his mother, that I could be a much younger twin of a grandparent.
It’s good stuff that they are doing with DNA these days.
Go for it OWB. the DNA option helped me with some confirmation on things. I did find quite a few people get linked to me in ancestry as well.
It also showed me that I have a small percentage of DNA from the middle east. Since I’m part Raghead, I can use Raghead and no one can be offended by it. Because I’m part Raghead. mwahahahahaha.
Ancestry was good because it helped me link a few things that I didn’t know about before and find family links which were great. I still have a couple that are tough to track down though.
Just be careful, you don’t know what you may learn.
Nice…
Well as long as she didn’t have any slave owners in her past its alright….
Your family’s history and my wife’s family history are pretty similar. I’ll be waiting for the message from you on Ancestry.
My oldest daughter is getting married in a couple of hours. Ughhh, I’m going to have to put on a suit and tie and it isn’t even Sunday. Why can’t she be like my oldest son and ask everyone to wear Colts jerseys to the wedding.
In all seriousness, the passing of her child destroyed her last marriage. I’m just glad that she has found happiness again.
I got married on a Friday evening. Just me, the bride, a priest, best man, and maid of honor. Oh, and no lights. The power died and so we were married by candlelight. After we announced our marriage, family and friends threw us a big party. A gazillion Fridays later, we still love one another at least as much as the day we married. Of all the stupid things I have done in my life, that wasn’t one of them. Best of luck to the newest member of the Twist family.
My bride and lived on a boat for 7 years so we got married on it in the Potomac/Occoquan River. I was is Dress Whites and my bride in a beautiful dress. The other 50 folks were on a raft of their boats and all in bathing attire. What a great time. Lasted for 30 years until she went Home in her sleep.
My bride and I were married in the old hospital chapel on Fort Carson in mid-March.
Then drove up to her brother’s place outside of Edgemont, SD for our honeymoon.
Was jerked out of our wedding night bed about 0230 to help her brother pull a calf.
Good times.
Sounds like the plot to a Julia Roberts – Hugh Grant romantic comedy.
Still married to the same gal after 36 years.
It’s been a trip being married to a blonde retired postal service employee.
We’ve never had a cross word or raised our voices to each other, although at times I have gotten that “Don’t make me go postal on your ass” look.
That look is to be avoided at all costs.
I’m happy for you, Twist, and for you daughter, and I hope that she has a long, and very prosperous marriage.
Congrats on your daughter getting married. And I agree I would have been happy in blue jeans but my wife said NO ! ! ! Lol….
Good for her. Enjoy.
Congratulations to all who married or gave a daughter to the groom.
May the happy couple be, well, happy. For decades.
Congrats to all.
Finally!
I got it!
I am 103!
Master Chief, I think that makes you the oldest member of the TAH clan.
I wish I could share more of my resources for TAH, Jonn, and other worthy siblings in arms. Legal stuff is pricey, and I suppose this blog costs some dollars too. However, I hope TAH will reap lots of money from those who choose to be defamatory slimy unorganized grabasstic pieces of lizard shit staining the underpants of Vladimir Putin and Medvedyev.
“defamatory slimy unorganized grabasstic pieces of lizard shit staining the underpants of Vladimir Putin and Medvedye”
Not bad. Shows promise. Is “A Proud Infidel” your mentor?
Yea, lets keep this FNG around. He’s groomable.
Been around for a bit. Not too much of a FNG. I used to be DataDawgWP, but I had to change that since I decided to be less Warrior Pointe. And before that I posted in my own name. The name Data Dawg was a gift from a friend. I had to add the initials because there’s an actual Data Dawg, and I don’t like stealing stuff.
Nope. But I’m sure he could teach me some stuff if he wanted to.
Looks legit.
This is Obama’s military after all.
He looks like Spec8 Moerk’s cloned twin brother.
If King Barry and PV8 Moerk had a child….
Something that chaps my ass: Ms Hillary says she sent no classified. Any travel related to senior govt officials is classified. Period. Especially a Cabinet Secretary. Damn near anything that a Cabinet member says internally is probably classified.
If any of us had installed a server and conducted official business on it, we would have been Thor’s girlfriend at the Leavenworth Long Course.
Reports also state she had a bunch of classified info on thumb drives too…
Where the hell was the State Department cyber security team? No one seemed to notice all of this emails going to a non-State Department email account? I can’t hold Hillary responsible, since their is no documentation of her completely any mandatory training regarding safeguarding classified material, Internet usage and document retention.
Yes, you can. I’m pretty sure that the training she “missed” was mandatory Federal government-wide. Plus, gross negligence in the performance of duty (avoiding mandatory training) doesn’t excuse malfeasance in office.
But since she never completed the training, she did not know that she was violating policies and breaking laws. It is known as “The Private Doesn’t Know” defense.
How could this witch say with a straight face, or as straight faced as that Botox saturated mug could be, that as Secretary of State, she never sent or received classified information?
For deniability to work it must be plausible. Her careful avoidance of the rules isn’t.
She’s the leader of the state department during this timeframe.
I’ll take a stab that the cyber teams made it known what the requirements were. I would go a step further that they were told “thank you, now don’t bring it up again” and they didn’t because they wanted to keep their jobs.
The IG investigating the email traffic already identified multiple emails from her “private server” which included classified information. The fact that she said “I never used it for classified information!” is another throw down that she’s lying and been lying all along.
I believe I read that newer email traffic released included a missing couple of months during which Benghazi happened. More lies and obstruction of justice.
Lastly, if a Private doesn’t know about waking up at 0600 and gets caught for not being where he’s supposed to be, that’s his chain’s fault for not ensuring he was aware. In this case, she was the TOP of the chain and has no excuse about “not knowing”. She’s all too intelligent of a woman and she knows and knew exactly what she is and was doing.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
How many State Department emotes were kicked to the curb for data spills or mishandling classified material during her tenure? If she did not complete the required training, who else did not complete their training but maintained their access? What about portion marking of emails? I can’t send an email on JWICS without classifying it first. What was the policy during Queen Hillary’s reign of terror?
Sitting on the back deck of Stately Stone Manor, in an undisclosed location, looking up at the stars, enjoying a craft ale and listening to some quality music. Anyone want to join me?
BEER? DUDE, buy me a six pack and I’ll split it with you!! 😀
What’s you flavor. I’ll buy you any beer or ale, as long as it is not Coors Lite. How can they call that beer with a straight face?
That sounds a wee bit ghey, I will be right over!
I wish I lived in Philadelphia. Some folks have all the luck.
Back in early June, there was a guy that appeared on Judge Judy suing a neighbor in his Florida trailer park for cutting down his flagpole. Why would the neighbor cut down his flagpole, you ask? Well, the Plaintiff lived in his trailer park with his partner, and the partner was (allegedly) run over by a trailer park resident with a golf cart. It turns out, according to the plaintiff, that the police, District Attorney, Homeowners Association nor the media have no interest in giving this man and his partner relief. As a result of that non-reappnse, he started flying the American flag upside, as a sign of distress. A retired Air Force resident of the trailer park (allegedly) took offense at the perceived sign of disrespect, and plaintiff claims that retired Air Force veteran cut his flag pole. What to do? Go on Judge Judy, of course. He lost. Big time. So, he went on the Judge Judy discussion board to plea his case to the masses. And wouldn’t you know it, he served as a sniper with the 101st in Grenada and was shot in the head with a .22 caliber round, and received no medical attention for three days, because, as we all know, there were no doctors in Grenada, excluding US military, local physicians, instructors at the college, and the hundreds of medical students.

So, after getting his ass handed to him on IMDB, he went over to Radar to plead his case. He is still not feeling the love.

Judge Judy can smell a liar and/or a non-compensatory complaint a mile away. Never go to Judge Judy and whine.
Did you have the opportunity to read his comments at IMDB? I have a feeling that a thread on him will be showing up here shortly.
I think he’s a vainglorious toad with delusions of self-aggrandizement.
And anyway, I spent my evening usefully bu fleshing out the end to the Snake Wars. Time travel is a mind-twisting thing, because you have to keep your stuff straight and remember that time loops back on itself like a Mobius strip.
Headache maker.
Well, if someone can get and send me that tool’s info (firstname/middlename/lastname, place of birth, date of birth), we’ll just see about his military claims. We already know the service and approx dates he claims.
Hack – Old David doesn’t like you much does he. And I agree that he might get a little more famous from his “there I was” statement.
Damn Hack… been reading your comments over at Radar Online. Tearing the clown a new asshole every chance you had…love the comment about getting some Judge Judy swag!
Well, the mailbox with no door routine is starting to get stale. I think David must have gone to the same school as a software vendor that we all know, since there spelling, grammar and punctuation seem to follow the same high standards.

Here’s something I just now learned of at the FREE NORTH CAROLINA web site, which came from the WARBIRD INFORMATION EXCHANGE web site.
During the Second World War, in preparation for the invasion of Japan, the largest naval armada in history, even larger than the famed D-Day fleet which invaded Normandy, was assembled at Ulithi Atoll in the Caroline Islands of the Pacific Ocean, and all knowledge of its existence was classified.
None of us ever heard of it because it was never employed.
But, just LOOK at all these impressive historic photographs!

Awesome, that is fascinating stuff to read. I never heard of that before. Thanks for posting.
Here is a collection of photographs from North Korea, published on the web site of the Saturday 01 August 2015 edition of the WASHINGTON POST newspaper:

Here’s the URL of my own collection of photographs of North Korea, which I gathered from various web sites on the Internet:

For your further elucidation, here is the URL of the official government web site of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea:

Ever looked at nK with google maps? Much more telling and truth from satellite view than in most pics taken in nK that are allowed to leave the peninsula.
You should see what North Korea looks like at night from a satellite:

Forty-two (42) Maximum Security inmates are participating in a HUNGER STRIKE at the Utah State Prison, where a long time ago, I was employed as a Correctional Supervisor.
Here is the URL for a news report about the incident:

In preparation for the “Hunger Strike”, the inmates stockpiled food inside of their cells.

From my perspective, that’s 42 less people we’ll have to house, feed, clothe, etc., within a month…

Look at all the plastic on that ladies face….
Thanks to everyone who has donated. I tried to thank you all in email, but some of you used faulty email addresses and I got mine returned. So here you go!
Oops.. I “fat fingered” mine, Jonn.
Anything to help you guys out…
Anything we can do, we just used the button so much easier then the snail mail. Thank you for all the great 411 and humor on the page. 🙂
Today, depending on the time of day and time zone, I guess, is the anniversary of a legend. I do not see it mentioned on the online news sites. Anyone?
The debut of MTV? runs for the hills
The American schooner USS Enterprise captured the Tripolitan polacca Tripoli in a single-ship action off the coast of modern-day Libya?
Well, today is the 108th anniversary of the establishment of the aeronautical division of the US Army Signal Corps. That organization later became the US Army Air Corps – and later, the US Air Force.
Oh, and it’s also MTV’s 34th birthday.
Actually, I thought Hondo would write it up. The answer is…well, here’s clue: The legend is fact based and involved the only US president to receive a Purple Heart. That should do it.
Holy crap, how could I forget about JFK and PT 109.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
Who ??????
Crap…my son decided to go through all my emails from the three stooges. He left on his Harley pissed. I went through the sent emails and he wrote a sweetheart letter to Dallas. He’s so funny and not taking my phone calls. My guess, he’s going to kick it with his friends, play pool, talk and have a great day.
Yeah, well, we are definitely into low key around here. Just consumed some meatloaf and roasted potato wedges, with brownies cooling for desert.
Beautiful day. Neighbor brought one of his grandchildren for a visit. Got to mow a bit. Trimmed some brush. Ahhh, life is good.
It seems to be about time to sit in the shade with a glass of lemonade. Yes. That’s next.
Ex-Ph2 – I was thinking about you last night while watching the blue moon. Did you get any pictures of it? Gimme a call when you can I’d like to catch up with you.
A body was found dumped in the woods by my Mom’s. Here’s to hoping everyone has a better weekend then that person is.
No, I didn’t shoot it, but I did read a newspaper by it. 🙂
Dingbats are everywhere. Be sure you carry a tennis racket for self-defense.
The Duffel Blog really got people with this one.
Army’s new policy is forcing troops to get divorced to “improve readiness” for deployment. Haha!
BREAKING NEWS!
The FREE NORTH CAROLINA web site has reported that the Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy who returned fire when the Chattanooga Recruiting Center was under attack is now facing court martial by the United States Navy for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property.
Here is the URL where you can read that news report:
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/08/report-navy-officer-who-fired-on-islamist-during-chattanooga-terror-attack-will-be-charged/
Pure BULLSHIT ! ! ! !
ORIGINAL NEWS SOURCE:
http://allenbwest.com/2015/08/whats-happening-to-this-heroic-navy-officer-from-the-chattanooga-shooting-will-make-your-blood-boil/
That is pure, unadulterated BS from Allen West. He has NO inside information and is lying in his teeth.
WHY would Allan West make up a story like that?
Has he made other similar false statements in the past?
Since it’s now a weekend, I reckon we’ll have to wait until sometime on Monday or Tuesday to learn the truth of it, one way or the other.
I don’t understand why Bo Gritz is the object of discussion at the very beginning of this WEEKEND OPEN THREAD.
That is not Bo Gritz in that photograph.
The name tag says, “PATRISSI”.
I’m not a big fan of eating Gritz… LMFAO ! ! !
Bo Gritz was pictured with the other turd when the post first launched, but was quickly removed when the first FB posted claimed Bo was legit.
Love, love love the earrings on the ass hat in the photo! And for all those who are not sure he is an Instructor, he has an extra name badge to be sure you don’t miss it. SHITBAG!
Okay folks, I’ve been out of play for a few days. The reason? Well after a long time of saving, I finally got the custom built laptop I have been dreaming of for years. An MSI with 18.4″ display, 32 GB of RAM (Only because I sometimes have to boot two OSes at once, as well as doing live and saved video editing and some less demanding Adobe Photoshop work.) The C: drive is 3 X 128GB (384GB) solid state drives in RAID 0 and then, two 1 TB solid state file cabinets for D and E drive storage. All steel and aluminum case and a true mechanical, backlit keyboard. It is the MSI GT-80 platform and customized from there to the way I wanted it. Runs fast as hell too! I mean a do something worthwhile screen in 3 seconds from hitting power on! I took time to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 initially then the upgrade to Windows 10, which I am surprised I like better than 8.1. Then getting my MS Office reloaded and Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Audition for music and Adobe Premiere Pro for video work. All in all it has been a blast. I remember when I got the tracking number. I thought I had lost that “kid waiting for Christmas morning” anticipation but it was alive and well as I watched it make it’s way from Nevada to here. When the doorbell rang because I finally saw it was “Out For Delivery”, I could not get there fast enough and sign the driver’s touch device. Unlike a kid at Christmas though who tore through mom’s beautifully wrapped gifts like a Tasmanian devil to get to the goodies, I opened this like a skilled surgeon. Read every pamphlet and brochure and really took my time setting it up. It came with a “No Bloatware” clean boot 8.1 USB drive which made for a clean install. Well I am going on too long. I hope I don’t sound like I am bragging either. If I do, I apologize. just excited still and think I… Read more »
Not much of a computer pro. But it sounds like you have a F-1 computer on roids
It’s an A-10 Warthog Skippy, not an F-35! 😀
With all that speed and horsepower, surely you will be back to posting FIRST on weekend open threads again! Congrats Sparks 🙂
GDContractor…Unfortunately all the speed in the world does not give me a jump on the WOT. Maybe if I bribed Jonn into giving me a heads up I could make Numero Uno once in a while.
I don’t even know when I’m doing a weekend open thread. I just get to a point where I proclaim “F*** this” and throw one up.
It’s all good Jonn. Whenever you need a break do what you need to do. I ain’t complaining.
No bloatware. That’s a keeper. Hey Sparks, what’s that baby get the 1/4 in?
2/17 Air Cav…Power On button to full screen display with the full load of all icon tray items is 3.1 seconds.
It’s just shy of Monday morning, so – LAST!!!
All right, it’s 0530. Let’s get em outside and formed up for morning PT.
Report:
USMCE8Ret-Check
Frankie C-Check
2/17 Air Cav-Check
API-? API-? Where the hell is he? Oh, there he is. Soldier, I’ve noticed that you’re always last. Why is that? And don’t give me some lame-ass excuse about pacing yourself.
Anyway, today is regular PT. No organized grab ass until tomorrow. Look sharp out there as the ARCOM Queen is rumored to actually make an appearance at first formation.
Extend to the left —MOVE !!
*BUUUUUURRRP!* Do I hafta? I DO have a DD214, you know!
Cooooffeeee…
Oh, Shit, it is Monday after all. Those Monday morning first formations were really a laugh riot at times.
But you’re right. We don’t have to do PT any more, especially for those of us who have retired status DD214’s, but we do it anyway cause it’s the right thing to do even if nobody is watching.
Hell, I don’t even know if the Army still does any formations before reveille anymore or whether reveille is even sounded.
But I do remember one of the ARCOM Queen’s troopies saying (before they were gagged) that when she held formation, she wouldn’t speak a word until after reveille had sounded, even though they had been formed up for quite a few minutes. “Very awkward” was the term used to describe those formations.
I woke up in the middle of the night this morning, because I had a sneaky suspicion that a disbarred attorney from the Pacific Northwest was rustling the bushes at Stately Stone Manor. Much like Elaine Ricci, it was just my imagination, once again. Anyway, I checked in with the usual suspects here at TAH, and I saw a few people discussing a Jonn Lilyea/TAH Appreciation Beer Summit. I can’t seem to find it at the moment. Regardless, when (not if, but when) we all get together, I have appointed myself as the Entertainment Director. So, part of that entertainment will be Stolen Valor Jeopardy. Same premise as Jeopardy, but all of the categories revolve around people, places and events discussed on TAH, so take this opportunity to study up. Of course Jonn and Seavey will be judges, and maybe Ex PH2 as the third judge. Of course, I will be your host. Be sure to respond in the form of veteran question (What the fuck is…, Who the fuck is…., Where the fuck is….). And yes, there will be fabulous prizes. Does anyone on the board have a Jeapordy playing board program that could assist me? I have all of the categories ready, researching the “answers” now. If you would like to assist me, message me on FaceBook.
