Category: "The Floggings Will Continue Until Morale Improves", Feel Good Stories
0601 hours (no clue how many bells that is) and this FGS thread as empty as the Navy Scoreboard during a gridiron athletic competition that is held the FIRST Weekend in December.
All that talk of heel position has got our main man all discombobulated.
What ARE we gonna do with him.
I guess dodging a conviction on 3 murder charges is kinda sorta a trifecta? And making sure you are the only witness still alive helps too. Taking out a known Chester the Molester should get one a medal…and some reward money.
Saw that ‘beans,11B, and API was wandering around the other threads FIRST thing this morning. I’ll go see if I can find them, maybe get some cat heads with sausage gravy & grits with eggs.
Did get some feel good news from the chancre mechanic on yesterday pm past. The MRI they did showed no damage to the rotator cuff meaning there is NO surgery required. Thanks for the prayers offered up. Since they are still practicing medicine, doc shot another dose of cortisone, this one into the top of the shoulder. That made for a trifecta of shots, front, rear, and now thru the top of the shoulder.
If that doesn’t fix it, the next step is a laser guided shot into the shoulder channel. Then they’ll look for pinched nerves. I asked that chancre mechanic if all of this is just a sensor/check engine light coming on because of age and high mileage. He failed to see the dark humor in that. Little Miss Thang PA (a fun sized, well constructed ginger) laughed her ass off, so there was that. The main thing all this has accomplished is the relieving of the swelling in my wallet.
Well, I have a Feelz Good Story right here, courtesy of WUWT: IT seems that the Useless Idiots known as Extinction Rebellion are annoying commuters in UKLand more and more by blocking commuter traffic.
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/10/11/climate-protest-fury-they-should-be-doing-is-getting-off-their-a-instead-of-blaming-everybody-else/
I’ve also seen a brief article about some Climate Protesters burying their heads in the sand. The reaction to this is now turning to mockery.
he link to that is here: https://pluralist.com/extinction-rebellion-head-sand/
Also, Little Greta will NOT get a Nobel prize, after all. https://pluralist.com/greta-thunberg-nobel-peace-prize-2/
Those Feelz Good Stories should make all of you a bit happier. I know it warmed the house up a bit when I started giggling, and the outdoor temps here have dropped into the mid-30s, too. 🙂
XR, filled with XIRs, should have had their asses kicked – hard – while they had their heads in the sand.
Don’t forget about Traitor Jane’s stunt in support of Little Greta. She is trying to get in the news by getting arrested.
And yet, she really isn’t important, never was. She had a famous father. Nothing else.
IIRC her Father was a WWII Vet which makes what she did even more disgusting.
He was. A mustang no LT(jg) no less having risen from Quartermaster 3rd Class. He received a bronze star and a presidential unit citation during the war.
Lifelong friends with Air Force legend Brig Gen Jimmy Stewart.
THAT shittyassed commie traitor whore will do anything for publicity, I wonder how many times she gave head to General Giap while she was in Vietnam?
The FIRST Skankapotomus. F’ing scrunt, attention whoring bitch. Rot in hell slut while Satan devours your worthless soul as the spirits of the Warriors piss flaming gasoline down your throat.
Ex wife # 2 didn’t believe me when I told her I’d jump over the wire if she brought that exercise video into my house. Gave her the house and the VCR.
That retweet that Tim Bell shared from Jimmy Rustler telling women to make sure that they have a safe space ready for their conservative men in the inevitable case that Greta Thunberg received a Nobel Peace Prize only for it to be given to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia (who actually is doing something to earn it in the form of taking initiative and cooperating internationally to stop a border conflict with neighboring Eritrea) was rather funny. Especially the reply from Okey saying that the tweet didn’t age well (which it sure didn’t and it didn’t take long at all for it to age).
Nice to know that not every institution in the world has gone off the deep end.
This was a well deserved prize.
I think they learned a lesson when they got so much shit for giving one to oblowme before he even did anything…..
Well deserved lesson there…..
The Nobel Prize has also been awarded to Al Gore Junior and B. Hussein 0bama and I’ve had no respect for it or the Nobel Committee since!
Oh I agree 100% API. I remember Steven Crowder making a pretty funny rap video of Obama getting the prize. At least this Prime Minister is actually doing something (from the looks of it).
Hey Little Greta, your private jet aircraft is awaiting to take you and your stank ass hippie parents back to Sweden. Close the door on the way out.
Brother sent me an article from Dakota on her big rally going to be held there. They barely got it done before the big snow storm hit. His grandkids (some Greta’s age bracket) and their school buddies was all giddy about it. He snorted as he checked out the snow-blower. Rapid City just beefed up the city ordinance to include all sidewalks in the residential areas are the responsibility of the home owners.
There was a very, very brief bit of news about her “visit” there. No pan shots around the room to show a crowd. Just closeups. Must have been a chilly reception….
Rapid City homeowners will have to clean their own sidewalks???? Da Horrorr! I have to clean mine, and sometimes my neighbors and I get out and form a group shoveling activity. Last winter, one of the families on my street piled up the snow, made an igloo and told their kids to play in that if they wanted to stay outside. Kids lasted about five minutes and wanted back into the house. Winter is hard.
Fuzzy on the details for the snow removal. Seems the city is now blowing the snow onto the sidewalk into the yards and the cleaning of the sidewalk by the homeowner can’t go back into the street? Brother is in Black Hawk and was taking his machine to a buddy in RC. None of the kids attending the Greta rally was interested in turning off their electronics and marching to the site v taking individual rides. And most of them wouldn’t know a snow shovel if it hit them upside the head.
Those snowflakes claim that they’re going to start a revolution while none of them can even start a lawnmower or figure out which bathroom to use!
Her 15 minutes are up.
How do you get THREE charges of Capital Murder from ONE shooting? Ahhhh, the oddities of the legal system.
I’m just as glad that “boy” beat the system, but really, he shouldn’t have stolen the deceased perp’s car.
OK Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, the post is fixed back into something resembling my usual format, with some additional commentary on the events of the morning. Not those, you scraggly old bastard, you know who you are. Additionally, I know how some here will get without the usual three daily FGS posts, so I’ll go ahead and find two more. Just because.

The First 48
The Long-Running, Top-Rated Crime Series
Looks like our friends at A&E are doing my work for me over at a
A&E First 48
Thanks Blaster- I can retire from FGS now!
“…on the events of the morning.” Not to worry bro, Alexa keeps me informed. I wasn’t too concerned, knew you would wander thru, eventually if not sooner. ‘beans was getting bored, API was antsy, 11B started polishing his mail box keys, and Commissar was blaming Trump. Was kinda funny FIRST thing when all we had was the Header and part of the linkie. Clicking on the “continue reading” block left a space as vacant as Navy’s playbook. Didn’t know my Dawgs was gonna use that same playbook today. Kinda glad I couldn’t watch it on TV.
Gubmint can’t keep weapons out of prisons, gunz free zones or the mail system, but the expect us to believe that they can protect us when they disarm us. Wonder how many of those pieces and parts were going to criminal elements as v private citizens? Oh wait… guess the private citizens getting gun parts in the mail are now considered the criminal element.
To figure out why some areas have the level of crime they have, look to the demographics AND which political party has been “in control.” When some of us were detail for emergency repairs in B’ham we would ask for combat zone pay differential. The company’s answer was to tell us to carry an old wallet with fake cards and a buck or two in it to give the muggers.
And no, you can’t retire from FGS now.
Show me a crime-infested urban hellhole someplace that HASN’T been lorded over by D-rats!
“ Still 1 / 0 / 0, I had no idea Birmingham had such a huge crime rate.”
My wife likes to watch The First 48, half of the stories seem to be from B’ham. We live about 1.5 hours from there, and try to only pass through when needed.
Birmingham, Louisville KY, and Harris County TX make up 75% of that show*.
Side note: a lot of funny business seems to be goings on there in ‘Bama.
*fact unverified
Yes! A lot of weirdness. It seems that the outrageous is embraced and normal is looked down on
This probably belongs in the WOT but here we go:
Apparently GA is suffering some of the same ills. Students at GSU took offense over claims/accusations of ‘white privilege’ and in a controlled burn, torched their own property. Some genius conflated this act of protest with the beloved trope of ‘der Natsees’. The Dean had to come out saying the students’ actions were protected under ‘free speech’. I’m no weatherman but this psyop seems to be metastasizing.
https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/10/11/us/georgia-southern-university-book-burning/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F
Waitaminnit, those snowflakes torched THEIR OWN property in protest of “white privilege”? IMHO that’s like cutting your nuts off because your neighbor has eight kids, liberalism is truly a mental disorder!
No, the students were protesting an author who was paid to speak at the school. She’s a leftist bint who wrote a book on “diversity.” But rather than talk about her book she lectured the majority white students on their “white privilege.” After a rather tumultuous Q&A, the students burned the author’s book. It would appear that the younger generation is getting damned sick and tired of being told that everything in the world is their fault because they were born white. They’re sick of being called ‘ists’ because they have a different viewpoint than the leftists. I’ve read that ‘Generation Z’ will be the most conservative that we’ve seen in generations. This would seem to be a bit of proof of that.
The Gen Z’er (zoomers) are learning a valuable lesson, after Horace’s Great Lie the second most important rule of Humanity: all power is by it’s Nature, corrupt.
“I’ve read that ‘Generation Z’ will be the most conservative that we’ve seen in generations.”
IMHO it would be VERY NICE to see that happen!
That’s interesting: Capo-Crucet is paler than I am, thanks to her Anglo ancestors – probably Castilians, from northern Spain, but she’s claiming the students were racists when she herself was the author of those books? She’s more prejudiced than they are.
Does anyone ever tell these self-important twits that they should look in the mirror occasionally?
I’m going to go with a big fat NO!
They don’t have time for self-reflection. It would take too much time away from telling everyone else how and where THEY’RE wrong and what THEY need to change.
I work in management and have been assisting with insurance open-enrollment this past week. After explaining some basic economics to the younger employees, I think that I may have converted some to the conservative side. They figured out that nothing is really for free, someone has to pay for it. This time it’s them, and they didn’t like it.
Commoditization of Victimhood and the enlightened narcissistic lackeies of cultural Marxism.
I bite my thumb at them.
Why, you pretty piece of flesh! 😉
The Lady gets it.
The Bard is a timeless light shining of the folly of our now.
*on the folly of our now.
Damn iPhone just likes to pick words for me.
Curséd beast.
Just don’t carry coals to Newcastle over it!
Do those two need to get a room or a curtain call?
When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate….
Bravo…Bravo!!! Here forth art am I my fair Juliette. Take a bow as ye trod the boards lightly.
YOU TWO go get a room, willya?
The newer shows focus a lot on Mobile, Al, Atlanta, Ga and Tulsa, Ok, along with Harris Co.
There’s been a trend among the larger cities, mostly run by dems, to end their contract with the First 48, because the show, in their tiny, tiny minds, casts their cities in “a bad light”.
Mr Stepp took the wrong stepp and got his ass killed
You will never guess who is toot-posting in last Saturday’s FGS….
Yep, I saw that much earlier. Another waste of oxygen and keyboard ribbon ink. He may have had the ban hammer dropped on him for future threads, or he bookmarked that one and can’t figure out how to see the new stuff.
Aggravating POSes like that don’t realize how much their pathetic azzes are laughed at. I generally just consider the source and ignore them.
Turds like him/her/it aren’t worth even a squirt of a wino’s piss.
That dunce just doesn’t know when to quit does he?
He/she/it talks trash like a washout from the first week of Boot Camp.
His comments have been tagged.
Spraypainted with graffiti? Cooooool
[…] This ain’t Hell… has your feel good stories, and more during the week. […]
Turks are executing captured Kurds.
YAPYAPYAPYAPYAP, look at me, I’m Lars and I’m yapping for attention like a retarded Chihuahua, yapyapyapyapyapyapyapyap…
And the Turks are using H&I fires against our SF, what’s you’re point?
This ain’t our fight, time to unass the AO, post haste.
Take it easy on throwing facts at him, you might make his widdwe head explode while he’s going yapyapyap, Orange Man Bad, yapyapyap, Orange man Bad,…
You posted that in a FGS thread?
Either you are one sick turd, or too lazy to go over to the Open thread.
Or both.
One more example of why you couldn’t persuade a stoner to eat Doritos.
He sure is one attention-seeking mouth breather!
Fuck you Infidel. I am drawing attention to an issue complicit shits like you want to ignore or justify.
Riddle me this, Asshat. How much time do you have in Kurdistan?
Ballpark.
Your feel good stories are all about “bad guys” getting shot.
Two days ago some of you assholes were claiming that the Kurds being attacked were not the ones allied with the US but rather “terrorists” and “communists”.
Are you willing to admit that excuse for defending Trump was bullshit?
The deafening silence you partisan cowards over your shitbag abandoning the Kurds makes the Trump cult complicit.
If Kurdish allies being executed by Turkey doesn’t make you “feel good” then maybe you complicit fucks should be as angry about Trump abandoning them as I am.
Maybe this blog should be discussing it rather than ignoring it, flaming me when I try to discuss it, and making up excuses in order to defend Trump’s decision.
It has been a week and this forum chooses to ignore the issue ENTIRELY because it was “your guy” that made the decision.
I really hate being called a ‘coward’. Believe you me, not a soul on this planet has more hate for my life than me, hell, I’m living it.
To suggest I wouldn’t GLADLY give it up for a more-worthy cause is just stupid.
So, I respectfully request you go f*ck yourself.
Lars has to stay on the offensive because in the past week most of the Democrats said essentially “fuck the first amendment” in pandering to the alphabet people and he knows if he has to go on the defense regarding their lunacy he will never climb out of that hole. His insane prog cult is self-destructing and he is afraid it will drag him down with it-forget him.
?
What is the first amendment issue I am ignoring?
Here ya go dickweed
https://reason.com/2019/10/11/democratic-candidates-promise-lgbt-voters-theyll-punish-all-the-right-people/
That is what you came up with? An OpEd on a right wing blog?
I am talking about our allies being abandoned and dying. An indisputable fact that will effect us for decades
And you spin it as I am just trying ignore this bullshit “1st Amendmenr” issue?
Nobody is paying attention to this because you and the OpEd writer of full of shit.
Worse case? You are absolutely right, this is a first amendment issue, and the current SCOTUS which is the most right wing court in 100 years, strikes any action on this issue down.
So knock off the bullshit.
Oh please Lars-the issue is that I am opposed to the Democrats because they are a threat to our Constitution. And the piece on Reason quotes them directly in how they intend to make good that threat, but, as expected you hand wave all of that. You can’t defend what your side is pushing, so you come over here and go on the offense against Trump. Well I’ll tell you Lars, right now it looks like he is all that is standing between us and all that crazy (and don’t think that we don’t notice that there are those on your side who threaten to pack to court so that they can get their way). If I have to choose between supporting the Kurds and those who are a direct threat to our most precious and deeply held beliefs that’s no choice at all. Go piss up a rope.
I’d rather he go piss on an electric fence!
One can only hope it does just that, JL.
Fair enough Roh.
My reference to cowards are those that would make up excuses to justify and support turning their back on an ally.
That’s all I’ll tolerate on my post, Lars.
Hey Lars I tell you what, get barefooted and go Riverdance on a floor full of LEGOs!
Hey, Squidward, why don’t go get your AR out of storage out of state and go to Syria and put your ass where your mouth is? I am sure the Kurds would welcome you into the fight. You wouldn’t be the first ex-American former soldier to go fight with them.
It is on my bucket list.
My current medical status requires more than 40 doctor administered (due to complication risks) injections over the next 7 months. Then monthly for the rest of my life.
But defending the Kurds would be a worthy way to go out.
Much better than the justifications I have come up with so far
No B.S., I hope you find good health.
Sorry to hear about the medical issues Lars. Disagreements aside, I hate to see anyone go through shit like that.
Well, I’ve had just about enough of that lamebrain telling us what we are supposed to do or not do in a blog over which he has ZERO control – which is The Real Issue for him – and it’s about time he took his anger-driven ass elsewhere. How’s that grab you guys?
What we discuss or don’t discuss here on TAH is OUR business, nothing else. WE decide what subjects we’re going to address. Anyone who doesn’t like our choices is welcome to F.O.A.D. right now.
It is not about control.
I am directly calling you out for being a hypocrite.
Most of the contributors to this site ripped Obama apart, sometimes deservedly, for every real and perceived slight or mistake.
Year, you have been supportive, complicit, and silent with respect to Trump.
Trump has been a dumpster fire who has undermined our alliances, abandoned allies, acted like a cuck with every despot and authoritarian in the world -especially Putin-, put his self interest over the interests of the country or the responsibilities of his office, and when he was no focused on his self interest he has actively pursued Russian interests even when in direct conflict with US interests and the interests of our allies.
It is your blog, you can cover whatever issue you choose, but every week you ignore this clusterfuck of a presidency undermines that credibility this blog once had.
I have no desire to control this blog. You all have dropped more than 3,000,0000 ranks globally since Trump was elected.
You are losing your audience because you chose silence instead of defending the values this blog once claimed to defend.
I have no desire to control this blog. – Commissar
Liar, liar, pants on fire. Point the finger at yourself.
We can support whoever or whatever we wish, whether you like it or not.
If you had not pissed away your credibility with your antics, you might be in a position to discuss or even criticize. You have demonstrated your worth as a forum participant. Don’t gripe because you get paid in the coin you mint.
I’m getting the vapors because you naysayers are not agreeing with me and my mounds of empiric data concerning this and other subjects that I am all knowing and knowledgeable about!
My talisman (The FLACCID MICROMINI PENIS OF TRUTH) that I hold between the index and middle fingers of my left hand are all that I need to prove to you that ORANGE. MAN. BAD.
You’re starting to hyperventilate, Lars.
It needs to breathe into the bag, or else it gets the hose again…
I have always been pro Kurdish.
And I have no doubt they are executing the PKK. Which, by the way, I have a major issue with. The Turks suck. Always have. Dishonest and self-interested.
But the PKK left “Kurdistan” years past and did/do their own thing. Not that the PUK and KDP do not. I get this.
But I have never seen CNN call the Kurds “Allies”. Any faction Kurdish for that matter. Under any administration, Democrat or Republican.
So clown, get lost. Unless you have fought with or beside them, then go away.
Armchair White Privilege Loser.
I spent a lot of time in Kurdistan and have a fondness for the people. With that being said , I don’t have much respect for the PKK. They didn’t do anything to help “us” in northern Iraq, the PDK and KDP did, so pay very close attention to who you are crying about!
The “be careful “ comment was meant in general., and not directed at you GT!
I think I can speak for most of America when I ask, “Who are the Kurds and why should I give a shit?”
I know the history over there as much as any “GWOT-times” veteran. Still don’t care. To say that turning our backs on an allied tribe over there is going to “effect us for decades” is a bit overly dramatic, even for you. For fucks sake, we were in a 40+ year cold war with a country we’d just fought side by side with (and supplied with much war materiel).
Trump is doing what he said he was going to do. Pull us out of endless wars that few in the US give a shit about. Allegiances over there change with regularity. They all hate each other and they all hate us, some just hate us a bit less than they hate the others over there. We’ve got one true ally in the region and that’s Israel. We’re treaty-obligated to work with Turkey.
The POTUS has said, repeatedly, that he’s going to put American interests first. We’ve got enough shit going on here that we don’t need to be throwing money and blood into that shithole in the Middle East.
ISIS sleeper cells, – pockets of former ISIS fighters in territories under S.D.F control that cached their weapons and managed to blend back into the population – have reactivated.
So you’d like us to keep sending troops, supplies, and money over there? To what end? Have you learned NOTHING from Afghanistan? We’ll never get out of the quagmire. Sometimes you just gotta cut the line and call it a day.
If the people that live there don’t want to fight and die for it, then why should we?
Unless we conquer the country and make it the 51st state, it’s always going to be a source of pain and misery for us. Nobody in the US has the stomach or desire to be an actual imperialistic force, which is what it would take to conquer, annex, and then administer the place to our standards. Instead, it would have to be turned over to local leadership, which, because they all hate us, turns anti-American alarmingly quickly.
There is another option: “Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Turn it all into a glass parking lot. No worries after that.
Picking friends in the Middle East is like picking which part of the soggy turd to pick up. There’s no “good” side, period.
Larsie no doubt was pissing and moaning about getting involved there, now he’s pissing and moaning about getting out.
Faqheem.
