Veterans Day 2013 - Thank You!

Dear Readers,

The above picture of Old Glory was taken when I visited the USS Arizona Memorial.


Today is the day when our nation as a whole says "Veterans, thank you for my freedom."

Men and women, who once wore the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, gave something of themselves to our nation - and today we say thanks.

Believe it or not, about 90% of all enlistees go into our nation's military without thinking "What's in it for me?"

Most, if not all, who have served, went into the military with the idea of just wanting to serve our country - this land of our birth, this land that has given us freedoms and liberties unimagined in most parts of the world.

While in the military, many of us worked for hardly no pay at all in comparison to civilians in comparable jobs.

Among the 100s of jobs in the military, we drove tanks, steered aircraft carriers, refueled aircraft, fed thousands three times a day, washed tons of laundry, moved more mail and packages than most small cities, administered medical services, arranged communications, and made sure nuclear generators worked properly.

To give you an example of all 0f the jobs in the military, take for example a modern Aircraft Carrier.

Just one modern Aircraft Carrier needs 5,500 sailors doing a whole assortment of tasks just to get that huge beast of a ship from one point to another. And no, contrary to modern myth, not all aboard are Navy SEALS dressed in cammo and armed to the teeth.

Of the crew, their are electricians, engineers, store keepers, supply personnel, cooks, riggers, clerks, security guards, and just about every other vocation known. All to get the Mission Accomplished.

While all are not Navy SEALS, their individual duties are no less important to accomplishing the mission of making that warship ready for duty.

The same goes for the Army, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, or the Coast Guard. Not everyone is a Sniper. Not everyone is a Tank Commander. Not everyone is a Fighter Pilot.

While those jobs are essential, our military doesn't need everyone to be SEALs, or Snipers, or Fighter Pilots.

We do need those folks in payroll who will make sure our allotment is sent home to our wives and families on time. We need that load master who will ensure that the cargo going aboard that C-5 is secure and gets to others waiting for their gear so that they in turn can do their duty.

There are no menial jobs in the military, because the truth be known - nothing happens without the support personnel who make sure that everyone is ready to do their job.

When I was in the Marine Corps, I was a Grunt, an 0311. But as a Sergeant, I was told that it took 9 Marines to support one Infantryman (Grunt) in the field.

Today, because of computers and so on, I've heard that we can do more with less in the field - but the number of people who make sure that that infantryman has the support he needs to do his job is 21.

As of September 2009, the number of Veterans is put at approximately 23 Million of

According to statistics, between 529,000 and 840,000 Veterans are homeless at some time during the year.

On any given night, it is estimated that 300,000 Veterans are living on the streets or in shelters in the U.S.

Approximately 33% of homeless males in the U.S. are Veterans.

While Veterans represent 11% of the adult civilian population in the U.S., they represent 26% of the homeless population.

Why is this the case?

Well, the primary causes of homelessness among Veterans are:

A lack of income due to limited education and transferable skills from the military to the civilian world - and this is especially true about younger Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; Service-connected physical health and disability issues; Substance abuse problems; a lack of a social network due to adjust to civilian life; and a lack of available services to help Veterans.

Since today is Veterans Day, today is the day that we thank all Veterans.

Remember, whether he worked in an office and had the tough job of contacting loved ones after their son, or daughter, or wife or husband has been killed, or if he or she works in the mess decks of a carrier making sure that all are fed good healthy nutritious meals, or was a truck mechanic, today we take a minute and say thanks.

All of those who served, served preserving our freedom. All gave of themselves so that we can be a free people.



A simple "Thank You" means a lot.

Don't miss the chance to feel good and do the right thing, a simple "Thank You" means a lot.

To you my brother and sister Veterans out there, I want to take this time to say "Thank you. Your service to our nation is appreciated."

May God Always Bless You!

Story by Tom Correa

Mutilated Cows And UFOs?

Dear Readers,

I love stories like this for so many reasons that they're just too many to list.

A reader sent me this story from this last July 30th. He wanted to know my take on this - asking me if I "suspect spacemen"?

As I said before, I love off the wall stories where someone actually has the cojones to say "Aliens did it!"

The news story:

Mutilated Cows Found at Missouri Farm, Police Not Ruling Out the Possibility of Aliens

HENRY COUNTY, Mo. (KMOX) – Who would cut the tongues and take the reproductive organs from several cows?

That’s the mystery police in a small town 90 miles away from Kansas City are dealing with.

Robert Hills, Henry County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy, says the first cow was discovered in December of 2011, the second and third this summer. All were female cows and were owned by rancher Lyn Mitchell.

“We couldn’t see any signs of trauma, and it doesn’t appear that there was any type of wild animal, such as coyotes, that were involved,” Hills told KMOX.

The first cow discovered on Mitchell’s ranch had her tongue and ear removed. Mitchell told KSHB-TV she assumed the mutilation was part of a sacrificial ritual or just teenagers, so she didn’t report it.

The next two discovered on July 9th and 19th of this year had their tongues removed along with their udders, anus, reproductive organs, and ears. A veterinarian wasn’t called to examine the first two cows.

But one did examine the third one.

Mitchell said the veterinarian told her the cuts to the cow were precise and surgical. Also what seems to be the common denominator of all these incidents is the lack of blood and other bodily fluids surrounding the area and inside the animal.

Mitchell told the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) that the third cow’s heart was removed and exposed, but was not taken. She believes that maybe whoever did this was interrupted and she does not rule out the possibility of aliens.

Deputy Hills says decomposition of animals in the summer can cause a certain type of bloating.

“In some cases its apparent that theses are tears, and in other cases they may look like an incision and that’s what they're described as.”

A veterinarian’s report on the third cow is not yet complete. Until then, Hills says this remains an open investigation.

“We’re having to look at this from two sides,” says Hills. “Some people believe that there are aliens that are involved in this or the possibility of the occult going to the other end of the spectrum, we’ve talked to other people that say that just when cows die that’s what happens to their bodies.”

“We know that there have been quite a few deaths of cattle this year in Missouri due to the ergot fungus that may have lead to these animals deaths. We’re just not able to determine what the cause of death is at this point,” Hills says.

-- end newspaper article.

So now where do we start?

How about we first acknowledge that the title of the news story is misleading. No where in the article does it say that the police are not ruling out the possibility of UFOs or Aliens from outer space.

Deputy Hill only acknowledged what others are saying.

As for who did this? Well, let's get rid of the absurd first.

First we have to ask ourselves, does anyone really think that little green men from outer space traveled a billion light years to visit a few cows in Missouri - and only at Lyn Mitchell's place - twice?

Imagine this for a moment?

Imagine that there is a species, Aliens, from outer space far beyond our own solar system, who of course have superior technology to sustain life for the 700 million to a billion light years trip to earth, yet need to come to Missouri for their beef.

They have figured out a fuel system that is inexhaustible. They have figured out how to make a craft that can withstand the riggers of travel for that long of an extending period.

They have figured out how to manufacture steel and metals, and make nuts, bolts, washers, insulation, computers, metal sheeting, propellant, wiring, crafts, cables, and so on, all that it takes to build a spacecraft.

They have done all of this, and, since most of these spacecrafts have FAA compliant lights, the Aliens have also figured out a way to create light bulbs that do not burn out - and can be used when they need it after their 700 million light years trip. 

Supposedly, Aliens have done all of this - yet they don't have the technology to create a cow of their own.

Forget that it takes thousands of parts contractors to build our Space Shuttle. Forget that it takes thousands of workers - everyone from engineers and assembly crews, truck drivers and management, as well as janitors and security guards - to build one of our Space Shuttles.

And yes, we have all of our fingers!

Where do Spacemen get their materials to build such a craft to get to Missouri?

Are there steel mills and iron shops where they come from? Do they drill for oil and fabricate the parts of their craft which are made out of petroleum - such as their computers and the parts it takes to make a computer?

Almost all of the components used to assemble and manufacture a computer is made from oil and petroleum by products. In our society, over 6,000 commonly used products that we use every day are made from oil.

And where do they get their computers from? Do they get their computers from IBM, Apple, Texas Instrument, or maybe pirated copy-cats in China? I don't think so.

Take all of this into consideration.

Now, throw in the fact that these little green men have figured out how to remain off of our radar and evade detection from multiple resources in multiple nations all over the world - yet they show up every once in a while to pluck some drunk from his pickup truck on a Friday night, and "probe" him?

I realize that they can't make too many appearances, so maybe that's why they chose Mitchell's cows on their return trip.

Good breeding stock, good cattle management, excellent feed quality, means quality beef.

Is that the reason that Space Aliens choose only Lyn Mitchell's cows? Does she have such superior beef that those little green guys had to have one or two cows for a late night snack?

And by the way, why is it that they always do these things in the dead of the night?

Whether it's grabbing some drunk from his truck to probe him or to mutilating cows, these things always seem to take place in the middle of the night. Why is that?

And how about who makes their lights? You know, tho ones that are always shining down on folks on deserted roads in the middle of the night.

Do they have manufacturers like GE to make their bulbs?

And really,if they are so advanced, why would they need lights?

If it is to be assumed that they are such superior intelligence and subsequently have all of this far superior technology - yes, even I get tired of the word "superior" when their followers refer to them as such - then why don't they have better technology than that which is used by our average soldier in Afghanistan?

Yes, our average soldier in the field has Night Vision that does not need lights to see, so why do all of the reports from "witnesses" say that they were hovered over by bright lights from a UFO when they were "probed"?

Take these facts, and the fact that these spacemen evade contact because they don't want to be disturbed when they have a yearning for Mitchell's beef tongue - and friends, the story don't wash!
I'm sorry folks, but I simply don't believe in little green men from outer space!

I don't believe it because the logistics to get all of the components and materials of such a craft fabricated, then have the spacecraft built, fueled, with a crew and sustain them for such a trip takes a civilization with industry and manufacturing capabilities to make it happen.

And no, spacecrafts, whether it's our Space Shuttle, the Lab. or some flying saucer, can just appear out of thin air. It has to be built and maintained.

It would be impossible to assume that there are Space Aliens who have that sort of technology, yet have come all the way here to this tiny planet just to dissect a few cows.

If they are that advanced, they certainly wouldn't need to dissect a cow - like I said before, if they are that advanced, they can create their own cows and leave Lyn Mitchell's cows alone.

So really? Aliens from outer space? No!

Now let's get serious, I'll be real frank and say that I can attribute these mutilations to a cult of crazies, a sick individual, or even a few youngsters wanting to spook the locals.

fact is, it wasn't that many years ago that there was someone, and the law suspects maybe more than just one individual was involved, in the San Francisco Bay Area who showed up at ranches late at night to mutilate horses in the Livermore area.

Those individuals would go to ranches where horses were being kept in pens or pastures close to the road. The assailants would park, get out and then lure the horse with treats to them.

Once there, one of two of the assailants would use knives to slash and puncture the horses in the neck. Some of the wounds were said to be done with surgical precession, so some believe that these criminals were using surgical instruments in their morally corrupt acts.

These were not Space Aliens who were doing that. They were people. Sick, depraved, demented, wicked criminal type people, who should have been found and dealt with.

As for a UFO cutting up Mitchell's cows in Missouri?

Well, if you believe that UFOs are really responsible for what took place, I have a picture of Big Foot on Mars for you.

Here you go! Yes, some crazy Alien believing nutcase out there really thinks that the picture below is proof that Big Foot is on Mars!

Probably the same folks who believe that Obama was born and raised in Hawaii.

Imagine that!



Have a good day!

RANDOM SHOTS - CMA Awards Rip ObamaCare, Tea Party Compared To Talban, God Created Man, and More!

FIRST SHOT!

CMA Awards 2013 Rips ObamaCare 

The Liberals at the major networks are plenty mad at the Country Music stars for making fun of ObamaCare at CMA awards.

Today, the day after the broadcast, Liberals from everywhere are calling ALL of the people there at the CMAs "racists" akin to the Ku Klux Klan!

No kidding! They do not like that fact that "ObamaCare by Morning" brought down the house at the CMAs.

Viewers who tuned in to watch the 47th Annual Country Music Association Awards, held Wednesday night in Nashville, might have confused the show with a roast of ObamaCare.

Country music’s hottest stars had a bone to pick with the faulty Healthcare.gov website, and using our right to Free Speech to address a grievence with the government.

Short and to the point, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood gave it to the Obama Administration with both barrels.

CMA Awards host Brad Paisley jokingly told his co-host Carrie Underwood that his back hurt and he needed to see a doctor.

Underwood asked the singer if he had signed up for ObamaCare.

“ObamaCare, what’s that?” Paisley asked Underwood.

“Oh, it’s great!” Underwood quipped. “I started signing up last Thursday and I’m almost done!”

The “Blown Away” singer proceeded to help her co-host sign up for ObamaCare and “join the six other people” who have reportedly signed up successfully for the healthcare service.

The routine had the Nashville audience clapping their hands, and us at home laughing, while the tune of newly crowned entertainer of the year George Strait’s "Amarillo by Morning," but with the words changed to "ObamaCare by morning - Why’s this taking so long? - I’m going to end up with hemorrhoids - If I sit here ’til dawn."

It was great because ObamaCare was being looked at for what it is - A JOKE!

Problem is that the penalties will start rolling in on all of those young people out their who supported Obama and thought that they would get something for FREE!

Now they are going to pay big time, and I can't help but think that that's just a little bit of Karma coming around to bite them in the ass for voting for Obama!

SECOND SHOT!

Police Shoot Teen For Not Turning Off Engine

Out of Ames, Iowa, it was reported today that a father’s attempt to teach his teenage son the penalty of stealing turned tragic on Monday when a local police officer shot the boy dead.
James Comstock called the police on his son Tyler after the boy took his father’s work truck without his permission when James refused to buy him cigarettes.

Ames Police Officer Adam McPherson spotted the lawn care company truck and followed it onto the Iowa State University campus.

During the traffic stop, Tyler refused McPherson's orders to turn off the truck engine.

Instead of ordering Tyler out of the vehicle, McPherson fired six shots into the truck at the boy.

Two rounds struck the boy and he was later pronounced dead.

Now here comes the lie to CYA!

Believe it or not, the official police report claims Officer McPherson’s actions were "necessary in order to stop the ongoing threat to the public and the officers.”

The boy was unarmed at the time? What threat was there?

““So he didn’t shut the damn truck off, so let’s fire six rounds at him?” Gary Shepley, Tyler’s step-grandfather, told the Des Moines Register.

““We’re confused and we don’t understand,” he added.

James told the paper that while his son did have a few minor run-ins with the law in the past, he was adamant about turning his life around and was working on obtaining his GED at Des Moines Area Community College.

““He was a smart kid. He made his own computers. He was interested in IT,” James said.

The family grew even angrier when it was revealed that a member of the police department suggested twice that McPherson abort the chase.

““He took off with my truck. I call the police, and they kill him,” James said. “It was over a damn pack of cigarettes.”

McPherson is currently on paid leave and may be punished more severely following an investigation.

Yes, this really did happen. So where is the Justice Department when they are truly needed!

Folks going in and out of Ames should be WARNED:

If you are in Ames Iowa, make sure you turn off your engine if you're stopped! If not, the Officers there just might shoot you dead!

THIRD SHOT!

Democratic Senate candidate likens Tea Party folks to the Taliban

There are some states like New York, Illinois, and California which I just expect this sort of crap from - but certainly not Montana.

Then I remembered that Montana has a Judge who was so Liberal that he gave a teacher only 30 days in Jail for raping a student - who later committed suicide.

So no, maybe Montana is becoming more like California that I thought,

Another example of this is the Democrat who announced his bid for the Senate on Wednesday.

His first action was to take a swipe at the Tea Party, believe it or not, the jerkweed compared it to "the Taliban."

But the fool wasn't done yet, he then likened the government shutdown to the bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II.

This is not some know nothing liberal jerkweed high on drugs, this clown is former Lt. Gov. John Bohlinger.

He said these very ignorant things when he announced that he would run for the Senate seat being vacated by Montana Democratic Sen. Max Baucus.

“We need to challenge the tea party representatives who, like the Taliban, shut our country down,” Bohlinger told reporters, the Billings Gazette reported.

According to the paper, he then continued, likening the actions taken by the Tea Party leading up to the government shutdown in October "“to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and the terrorists’ actions on Sept. 11, 2001."

There is already one Democrat in the Senate race: Lt. Gov. John Walsh — who has been endorsed by Montana Democratic Sen. John Tester.

On the other side of the aisle, Republican Rep. Steve Daines also formally announced his bid for the seat on Wednesday.

This race is going to be interesting to watch to see if the voters back fools like this jerk Bohlinger who ignorantly compares the death of thousands on 9-11 and during the bombing of Pearl Harbor to fellow Americans wanting responsible government spending - which of course is the Tea Party's main issue.

If Bohlinger were high on drugs when he said such a thing, then maybe he'd be forgiven for being so damn stupid.

But he wasn't, so in that case, I can only wonder what possessed him to say something so dumb?

LAST SHOT!

Study Says Life Began With Clay - Echoes Bible Creation Story

A new study came out on November 6th, suggesting clay may have been the birthplace of life on Earth.

As incredible as it might sound to atheists out there, Cornell University researchers found that clay may have served as the first breeding ground for the complex biochemicals that make life possible.

Yes, unlike atheist who think they know it all, these findings may reverberate with anyone familiar with the Biblical creation story.

"We propose that in early geological history, clay hydrogel provided a confinement function for biomolecules and biochemical reactions,” said Dan Luo, professor of biological and environmental engineering and a member of the Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science, according to Science Daily.

The clay absorbs liquids like a sponge and acts as the perfect place for chemicals to react with one another to form proteins, DNA and eventually living cells.

According to the Old Testament, God made the first man Adam from earth or clay.

Adam comes from the Hebrew word adamah, which means earth. And yes, even Greek mythology and other creation stories also say God molded man from clay.

Scientists found that the clay hydrogel could have protected the chemical processes until the membrane that surrounds living cells fully developed.

The study cites further evidence, nothing that geological history shows the first appearance of clay to be at the same time biomolecules began to form into cell-like structures.

How the biological machines evolved remains to be explained, Luo said.

Luo and his fellow researchers are still trying to figure out why clay hydrogel is such a successful material in cell-free protein production.

Maybe they will now take the Bible a little more serious, but I don't really think so - it's too hard to fix those who do not want to believe.

ObamaCare: America's Greatest Catastrophe

Dear Readers,

Famed Western Author Louis L'Amour once wrote, "Everything a man does is an indication of his character, whether he cheats at cards or takes an unfair advantage because it is legal."

  

Looking at his character, we all now know for certain that President Obama is a liar!

Right now, at least 3.5 Million Americans have already received notices that their health insurance policies have been cancelled.

And no, they cannot keep their health care if they want to because the ObamaCare law's regulations and mandates make it impossible for Insurers to keep those folks.

It is a flaw in the law, it's a flaw that the Obama administration knew damn well about,

Yes friends, it doesn't stop with these 3.5 Million Americans. Records now show that the Obama administration and the Democrats who voted for ObamaCare knew that over 100 Million Americans can possibly lose their Health Care coverage once ObamaCare goes into effect.
For over 5 years, a lot of us on the Conservative side have stated our objections to Obama's policies.

For this, we have been called everything in the book - including being accused of being "racists" because Obama is our nation's first black president. 

The left has made it their mission to attack us because we have seen where his policies are not good for Americans, our economy, our military, our society in general, and yes, even our standing in the world.  

We have been vilified and ruthlessly attacked with some of the worse hatred that can be launched against citizens who have decided to get involved in our political system.

For years, for years, I have heard our politicians say that Americans need to get involved. They need to attend Town Hall meetings, attend rallies, write letters, volunteer as pol workers and help to get out the vote.

For as long as I can remember, Americans have been encouraged to get involved and voice their concerns on the issues of the day.

Back in the 1960s and 70s, we were called the "Silent Majority" because we kept quiet while working hard and bringing up our families.

During the last 5 or 6 years, we have done just what we were asked to do. We rose up and join hands and became the Tea Party and other mostly Conservative groups - not surprising since the majority of Americans are Conservatives - but the liberal left hasn't like it.  

Because Obama has now been exposed for the liar he is, even by the Liberal Media who now sees what he has done, Liberals are having to eat crow and admit that our concerns were not unfounded - that we have been right about this and other things.

We have been right about the criminal acts of the Obama administration running guns into Mexico in Operation Fast & Furious; right about the IRS illegally targeting Conservative groups; right about the EPA giving private information about farmers and ranchers to environmental extremist groups; right about the needless death of Brian Terry or the needless deaths of those Americans in Libya; right about the vindictive nature of President Obama who like Nixon has an "Enemies List" - and who went out of his way to order the closing of open-air War Memorials just to be mean-spirited and inflict pain and discomfort upon the American people. 

Now, now the Left has to admit that we were right about ObamaCare - and more importantly, that we were right in that President Barack Hussein Obama is in fact a Liar. 

That he did in fact lie to the American people on this and other issues.    

Fact is with millions of Americans losing their Health Care as a result of the ObamaCare law's regulations and mandates, even the ultra-Left, the extreme-Liberals, like those folks over at MSNBC, who would lie and cheat and steal for Obama, now have to admit that America's First Black President is a Liar and a Con Artist.

And if you've asked yourself if it can get any worse?

Well now President Obama is lying about his lies

Here is Obama trying to get the American to NOW believe that it is the Insurance Company's fault and that we simply didn't understand what he was saying.

He is now saying, "what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed."

No! None of that is true! Obama is still being dishonest!

Yes, Obama the Con Artist is still working his con trying to get over on the American people and make us all think that this catastrophe is not his fault.

While Obama doesn't want to admit that this is a catastrophe - friends, 130,000,000 Americans, yes 130 Million Americans are projected to lose their Health Insurance because of the federal laws under ObamaCare

This is the greatest catastrophe to ever befall our nation.

By their own projections, the Obama White House knew that a FULL ONE THIRD of our nation's entire population may be out of Health Care coverage by January 1st, 2014, when the rest of the ObamaCare Insurance Mandates go into effect.

Since these are regulations and legal mandates that the Democrats who voted for this knew that Insurance Providers could not meet and would have to opt out of - the question should be asked, who is holding Democrats responsible for this?

Where their initial goal was to get coverage of the 3 to 7 Million Americans that didn't have coverage, now their Socialist work of art is about to have tremendous negative ramifications - the likes of which has never been seen on such a scale in all of American History.

Socialism on a scale unimagined in America is the Obama dream, and our nightmare.

The president is trying to rewrite the history of his "you can keep it" promise on health care.

For me, I don't care about Obama's credibility and the public’s faith in government simply because it is at the lowest in my lifetime - and yes, I was in the Marine Corps when President Nixon was in the White House.

Yes, I remember those times and the feeling of having a President who was crooked, a liar, a cheat, and power hungry.

The shame is that Americans are again able to say the same thing - that they too lived in an era when a power hungry man in the White House was crooked and a liar.

Right now, the president of the United States is busy trying to lie to the public about the lies he is on record telling.

In a speech last night to his political team, Obama said, "what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed."

But no, that’s not what Obama said.

Obama said, "No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health-care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health-care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."

That is exactly what President Obama said in a speech to the American Medical Association on June 15th, 2009, during the debate over health insurance reform.

So yes, the President just keep lying - and in the meanwhile more than One Hundred Million Americans are getting screwed by the Democrats who passed this law.

So now, if the Democrats thought they could fix 3 to 7 Million Americans not having Health care coverage - and their fix will result in over 100 Million Americans losing theirs - wouldn't you say that ObamaCare qualifies as the America's Greatest Catastrophe.

I certainly would.
