We had two kinds of colonels, ‘chicken’ colonels and ‘telephone’ colonels. Telrphone colonels were the lieutenant colonels who’d answer the phone ‘colonel Whoever’.
Our unit had 13 full colonels, an 18-wheeler full of lt cols, 13 sergeants major and one command sergeant major. Top heavy, eh?
Thanks for the pat but a good NCO knows that a bad officer can kill or maim his men quicker than a nightbin Olangapo City (don’t ask), it’s in the best interests of the guys at the point of the spear to ensure those who,point that spear correctly.
I was offered the last direct commission in 5th Army many years back and turned it down. A few months prior I was at a CENTCOM meeting where casualty rates were being discussed. Question was at what point after the Russians were engaged were we to start reporting them to thevstaff. A 3-star said that if he were asleep and we started losing companies…don’t wake him. If we started losing battalions we should start making the coffee for him. I figured that I’d rather be out there trying to make sure we didn’t lose battalions than being on a staff taking the reports in.
In retrospec, to be fair, the retirement money would have been a helluva lot better.

My son the other day took a picture of a swift fox. We have a little common sense though and kept our distance. A person without common sense stopped on the road to the lake the other day and thought since the fox was just standing not moving meant it wanted her to pet it. She got bit pretty bad and the fox ran off, so now she’s having to take rabies shots. The game warden was warning people in the newspaper to not approach foxes and if they felt threatened they don’t always run away.

‘Hero’ Who Fought Planned Parenthood Wins ‘Resounding Vindication’ In Court
In what one activist called “a resounding vindication,” charges have been dismissed against two anti-abortion activists whose undercover videos documented the activities of Planned Parenthood officials selling fetal tissue.
A Harris County, Texas, grand jury had indicted David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for misrepresenting themselves when they went undercover to investigate Planned Parenthood. Since then, evidence came to light that showed the District Attorney’s office had acted improperly in the case, although DA Devon Anderson had sought to call the claims insignificant procedural flaws.

Good article Mary, tonight Mike Pence shared this Alexis de Tocqueville quite;
I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors…; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution.
Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.
America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
The safeguard of morality is religion, and morality is the best security of law as well as the surest pledge of freedom.
We are at war.
It is easy to forget such a thing when we are surrounded by so many convinces, pleasures and shiny squirrels, easy to miss it when so many are deluded into believing that “it couldn’t happen here” and so many more believe “I’m not a Christian so even if it does happen here I can just go about playing Pokemon.”
And yet there are those who simply believe that mercy exists in a vacuum void of justice.

Christians in Protestant and Catholic churches who have bought into the political and religious pc “we are the world” stuff will be sitting ducks if the majority of the people in their local church are like them. They’ll be lucky if among their ranks are a few conceal-carry men or women who have quietly and discreetly brought their weapons to church.
I think a lot of it depends on where you live. In some areas of the country, my understanding is that the idea of conceal carry during a church service is very accepted and widely practiced. Even in supposedly “gun-free-zone” churches, some pastors know that members of their congregation are carrying and gladly ignore the official policy.

I’d posted years ago next door that the Egyptian government had what amounted to an official extermination campaign against the Coptic church. The military somehow lost explosives that were later used to blow up Coptic churches during masses, the govt forced chucrh and church school closings, officially discriminated against the Copts and never seriously investigated acts of violence against the Copts or church property.
We also have that i frequently mentioned massacre of the Armenians by the Turks during WW I. One and a half million, at least, Armenian Christians were murdered though the word ‘Christian’ is rarely used so as to make it seem less of a religious targeting as Turkey’s a friend now. It was religious though, as other ethnic Christian groups in the Ottoman Empire were also murdered, just not as many as there were Armenians. It was a religious ethnic cleansing by Moslems.
Now we are notbhearing anything about the Christian or other non-Moslem groups being slaughtered By Moslem ISIS in the Mideast. The MSM’s reporting it as if it were a guerilla group driven by political ideology killing anonymous people of a different political ideology. We are, to my belief, being subject to a wholesale religious cleansing by progressives using third party shills to do their work. Once one group reigns supreme then they can quash it and the Marxist dream of a secular world cones true.

This is not exactly correct. The communists and socialists had their own club houses in many cities well before the civil war, and the trade unions well before that.

There are a lot of things that are glossed over, misrepresented, or just missing over time. Look at the administrations we’ve had since 1980. All the interference, power grabs, personal enrichment. It all happened back then too. Even before declaring independence, the first time they all met, they all were looking at each other sideways. Samuel Adams personal writings talk about who he liked and who he thought was just there for power. But Samuel Adams himself used manipulation in the OPED section of the newspapers he wrote for. He would write letters to the editor as different people, then answer them. Today on the Internet in blogs it’s called having a “sock puppet”.

Jefferson was always against spending public monies, for the benefit of a few, now two of the biggest public works projects were started under his administration: The National Road, and Canal (currently the B&O railroad) along side of the Potomac.

Good morning! Is everyone ready for the political onslaught today? I’m getting overload from all of the live stream events this week, and here is what we can expect today:
Trump has two events in Iowa today; the first is a rally in Davenport at 4:00 pm, and the second is a rally in Cedar Rapids at 8:00 pm (not sure if those times are CT or ET; I’ll check).
Mike Pence also has two events today, in Michigan; the first is a Town Hall in Grand Rapids at 3:00 pm, and the second is a rally in Novi at 7:00 pm.
The lore about the name of “NOVI” is that it was the Number VI carriage stop from Detroit, but others say that isn’t true. The latest story is that NOVI comes from Croatia, and that it means “new”. Apparently, many towns in Croatia start with the word NOVI, although why a small Michigan town in 1830 would name their town after a town or towns in Croatia is a mystery. Anyway, Novi is now a town in the north-western suburbs of Detroit.
Of course, tonight is the last of the Democratic National Convention, and Hillary will be accepting her nomination as the party candidate for President. Wear your ear plugs if you plan to listen.
The DNC events start at 4:30 pm. The main speakers, highlighting women’s issues, are:
Henrietta Ivey, Home care worker
Beth Mathias, Formerly homeless
Chelsea Clinton, Daughter
Hillary Clinton, Candidate

The Coming (And Hilarious) Democrat Implosion
http://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2015/07/27/the-coming-and-hilarious-democrat-implosion-n2029695
But Democrats should fear the far more likely repeat of 1968.
Ah, the 1968 convention … just thinking of it brings a smile to the face of every normal American. Let’s start with hordes of Chicago cops kicking the psychedelia out of dirty hippies. Footage of all-American flatfoots clocking VC-flag waving pinkos with nightsticks is more erotic than a hundred “Fifty Shades” books. Just thinking about it makes me want to light up a Marlboro and cuddle.
Back in 1968, the Democrat Party was divided between liberals who loved America and liberals who hated everything about it. The situation is a little different now, with today’s Democrat Party divided between liberals who hate everything about America and liberals who really, really hate everything about it.
Hillary doesn’t need this. Her poll numbers are plummeting – gee, who would have thought that a corrupt, condescending, commie shrew might be unpopular? Hillary is America’s First Wife, a sour, sexless, disapproving presence eager to spend the next eight years telling us all how we are failing to measure up to her exacting standards. …
Poor Hillary – she wanted to talk about glass ceilings and spend her Goldman Sachs cash right up until she moved back into the White house and suddenly she’s faced with a much more boring, 2016 version of the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
Read the whole thing. I swear, this could have been written yesterday.

I actually think we would be worse off because too many Republicans would not have had their eyes open. Too many would still think there were two parties and the Republican leaders are the guys in the white hats and the Dems wear the black hats. This way, all was exposed. Sure, may hit crisis point sooner but with McCain it would have just given the usurpers (of which he is part of) more time to lock things down as we were still busy thinking sending mass faxes and emails to our senators and congressmen was making a difference and being involved.
