I still remember a skit two guys from my Troop did at Boy Scout camp one summer.
Two surgeons arguing about the patient’s malady, whether it was a tumor or cancer, then a sheet hung to screen the audience from the “surgery”, with a light behind them to cast shadows on the sheet for the comedic effect of the swinging hammers, drilling drills, and sawing saws.
Finally one surgeon emerges, holds up a tin can and says, “I was right! Can, sir!”
Then the other came out, held up two cans and says, “I was right! Two more!”

Siamese, the Majormao and the Minimao. Shortly after our Steve Allenesque meeting, and shortly after the ‘gravy incident’ we were acquired by a b&w Turkish angora who showed up on her kitchen windowsill, some eight feet off of the ground.
When she found a job in NOLA she couldn’t pass up I helped move her to the city. We put the cats in her car and I drove the moving van…everything went fine until Shreveport when all three cats decided to get up into tne box spring in the motel bed. Long story short, somewhere outside of Shreveport there was a motel missing a big chunk of the fabric covering the bottom of the box springs.

Not sure how long Newt and Trump could co-exisist in the same space.
On Newt’s plus column is he will put his children above all things and he seems to be aware that Islamization of America is the goal of one faction and making America ungovernable is the goal of another faction of minions who will then get the dictator they are unknowingly advancing, neither of these scenarios is acceptable to Newt.

Statement from Elizabeth Ailes:
I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning. Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary, and a loyal friend to many. He was also a patriot, profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard, to rise—and to give back. During a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics, and in news affected the lives of many millions. And so even as we mourn his death, we celebrate his life…

How the Military Helmet Evolved From a Hazard to a Bullet Shield
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-military-helmet-evolved-hazard-bullet-shield-180963319/
Still, no area of military personnal technology might be more indicative of how change has come to war than the American military helmet. “In 1917,” Blazich says, “when America entered World War I, we used a variation of the British helmet of the time, called the Brodie Helmet, or Mark 1 helmet.” The American helmet was called the M1917.
Effectively an overturned metal dish weighing about 1.3 pounds, with a basic liner to keep a soldier’s scalp from chafing against the helmet’s manganese-steel alloy shell, plus a solid chinstrap that cinched tight, it was a primitive tool at best. As a protective device, Blazich says, it didn’t do much more than keep explosion-driven rocks off the tops of soldier’s heads while they were in the trenches of France. “Though it could also be protective against shrapnel, which was also a big concern in that war,” Blazich adds.
Yet with no real face and side-skull coverage, it left troops wide open to facial and cranial injury, and lasting disfigurement from shell fragmentation was an enormous problem in World War I…

Artillery is called the Queen of Battle as it accounts for more casuslties than any other instrument in war. The steel helmet came about to protect the soldier’s head from shrapnel, particularly air burst. As little teenynpieces of shrapnel the size of half a grain of rice traveling at thousands of feet a second do damage on impact all out of proportion to their size it was important to keep soldiers hole-free.
Helnets are now rated as protecting from penetration bybsusc-and-such a bullet at so many hundreds of yards but that’s largely as the ballistics of that bullet are known, a standard, and more easily used as a measue of effectiveness than random shrapnel.
Note German WWII stahlhelm and how it was designed to protect the head and neck from shrapnel, a design (though they didn’t want to admit it, the US used in designing its current ‘plastic pot’. Standard 7.63×39 round fired out of an AK-47 can still penetrate a current helmet to around 400 yards.

The Anonymous Sources of Washington Post and CNN Fake News
(by Daniel Greenfield)
http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/266714/anonymous-sources-washington-post-and-cnn-fake-daniel-greenfield
Media fake news is everywhere.
No, the new health care bill does not treat rape as a pre-existing condition and Republicans did not celebrate its passage with beer.
The latest media outrage is driven by a Washington Post story about intelligence disclosures based on claims by anonymous sources. The Post’s big hit pieces are mainly based on anonymous sources.
Its latest hit piece runs a quote from, “a former senior U.S. official who is close to current administration officials.” That’s an anonymous source quoting hearsay from other anonymous sources.
This isn’t journalism. It’s a joke.
Last week, the Washington Post unveiled a story based on “the private accounts of more than 30 officials at the White House.” The fake news story falsely claimed that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threatened to resign.
Rod had a simple answer when asked about that piece of fake news. “No.”
So much for 30 anonymous sources and for the Washington Post’s credibility. But the media keeps shoveling out pieces based on anonymous sources and confirmed by anonymous sources while ignoring the disavowals by those public officials who are willing to go on the record.
The Comey memo story is based on, according to the New York Times, “two people who read the memo.” And then “one of Mr. Comey’s associates read parts of it to a Times reporter.”

Thanks Stella, great piece. I also liked this part:
The Washington Post’s “Trump fired Comey because he’s taller” could easily have come from Saturday Night Live, The Onion or the Daily Show.
The truly damning epitaph of American journalism is that there isn’t much of a difference. Saturday Night Live isn’t doing comedy and the Washington Post isn’t doing journalism. They’re both manufacturing viral Trump attacks.
Getting your news from the Washington Post is as worthless as getting it from Saturday Night Live.
While more respectable papers like the Post and the Times occupy the top rung of the fake news ladder, CNN has become the National Enquirer of Trump bashing. No story is too petty or fake to get airtime or site space. Recent examples that have gone viral include, “Is the President Afraid of Stairs” and “President Gets 2 Scoops of Ice Cream, Everyone Else 1.”

I need to stay off Twitter today. Got in a argument about Roger Ailes. People ragging calling him a sexual predator. I’m sorry, but when two women wait years to lodge a complaint and the accused was not given a chance to tell his side, I have a problem with that. I spent my whole life in jobs considered “men’s jobs” I have fought more sexual harassment than most women will ever see. When it happens, you nip it in the bud! I found that pointing and laughing went a long way! A quick punch to the solar plex seemed to be quite effective too. No man will say a word when a woman takes the air out of their lungs and puts them on their knees. I am tired of the crap coming from some of the feminists in this world right now that wait years to say “he said something bad to me” Suck it up cupcakes if you want equality.
Sorry, rant over.

Whittaker Chambers’ book, “Witness” came out in the early 50’s, in which he stated that the Soviets had begun targeting media, education, and unelected government positions for infiltration in the 20’s. They were wildly successful and to date have not been routed out, to my knowledge.
I don’t know whether or not Senator McCarthy had read the book and knew why the press was smearing him.
It would be ironic if the left would now acknowledge McCarthy was right, and therefore Trump’s accusers must be right. Insert facebreaking eyeroll here.

My niece immigrated to Poland and married a citizen there, has a family. They seem to be a fierce and independent people, and not at all willing to go along with the EU mandates, if what I read from him and his friends are indicative of the population.
Incidentally, when he visited a year ago he fell totally in love with our guns, especially the ARs, and the fact that we could go out into the back pasture (at another neice’s house) and shoot them for hours. When he got back to Poland he proclaimed himself in love with Tennessee and his Facebook profile pic for a long time was a Confederate flag. I’m not really sure why he chose that, we aren’t that big a redneck family. Okay, I guess we are, now that I think about it. Not every family takes their beer, guns, and ammo into the back pasture and shoots for hours, then packs it in so the kids can have donkey rides.

– “both sides should sit down at the same table with no preconditions, and talk.”
– “The US will not dictate how you need to live together here. That’s something that only you will decide”.
– “Trump didn’t say settlements are an obstacle to peace. He didn’t say he wants a freeze. He said he wants to come to an understanding with the Israeli government on how the issue will be dealt with.”
– “In 2009, Hillary Clinton insisted on a complete freeze of all building in Judea and Samaria, but Abbas still refused to come to the negotiating table. Now, we don’t have any demands that Israel freeze building, and Abbas is interested in meeting Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu without any preconditions.”
– “I don’t know if Israel will ever have to make concessions. It’s hard to answer that question right now.”
Candidate Trump said many of these things during the campaign. Ambassador Friedman is now repeating them on his behalf.
One must conclude that in foreign policy itself, Trump meant what he said and said what he meant.

Exactly. Israel is not our 51st state. And Trump recognizes what I was talking about yesterday — every nation — Japan, Israel, Zimbabwe, Norway — has the right of self-determination. That’s what makes them nations and not vassals of the World Government that still hasn’t fully popped out of the putrescent womb wherein it gestates. (Sorry for the analogy, I’ve had a couple, and that’s the best way I could put it.)
