Happy Fourth!

And a shout-out to my Navy-boat hitch-hiking bothers out there.



Since Souza was a Jarhead and all....

I'm going to be spending the day smoking a brisket and hanging out with friends.  I suggest you do something similar if you can.

And if you can't because Uncle Sam has you in some guard-shack in some dank hole of a country, well, thank you, and I owe you a beer.

I wanted to go running today

Had on my shoes, dogs in tow, ready to go.

Stepped outside into some of the nastiest smog I'd seen here.  I tried to go, I really did, but I was a quarter-mile in and my chest was getting tight, I was coughing, and I could taste the metallic tang of smog in the back of my throat.

I hate this place.  I hate this disgusting, polluted, nasty shithole that I'm forced to live in.  I hate the fact that I have to hide indoors because the air is so dirty that normal human activity causes me to break out into a coughing fit.  Hell, I've had a cough for the past two months, and I'm not sick, I'm just sucking this foul, nasty, polluted Los Angeles air into my lungs.  I cannot wait until I can escape from this third-world shithole masquerading as an American city.  Los Angeles needs to fall off into the ocean and drown, for the good of the rest of the country.

How would you like to take a bus ride

...and end up with scabies?  And lice?

The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes. 

“That’s what alerted me,” she said. “Oh, my God. They’re flying these kids around. Nobody knows that these children have scabies and lice. To tell you the truth, there’s no way to control it.”

Welcome once again to Obama's America.  The best part?  The healthcare workers are being threatened with arrest and confinement if they tell people just how bad the situation is.  So they're bringing in thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens, and just dumping them into America without any regard to the consequences.

Yep.  Obama's America.

I say dump them all in Washington D.C.  If they're going to be used as political props, keep them close to the politicians.  In fact, give them access to the Senate and the White House.  Let them crawl all over the chairs, and the floor, and run down the halls.  Make sure Harry Reid's seat is given special attention by the little scabies-crusted, border-hopping disease factories.

Does that sound mean?  Yeah, it does.  But we cannot fix the problems in Guatemala, or Nicaragua, or El Salvador, or Mexico.  Hell, the politicians in this country can't even man up and demand the same level of security on our Southern border as Mexico has on their Southern border.  Nope, that would be meeeeeeeean!  And raciss!  So we continue to allow anybody who can run, jump or swim access into this country via our Southern border, no matter who they are!

That's not just stupid, that's criminally insane.

We cannot help the entire population of Guatemala, or Nicaragua, or El Salvador, or Mexico.  We don't have the space, the money, the facilities, or the patience.  There will never be enough supply of aid to cover the demand coming from the third-world shitholes in Central and South America.  Until those countries drop their Socialist governments and improve themselves, there's nothing anybody can do, short of invading, toppling the government there and annexing it as another state of the United States.

I don't see a whole lot of enthusiasm for that.  I certainly don't have it.

So all we can do is seal the border, tell people to get their shit straight before they try to come here, and demand the same respect for our borders that all those other countries demand for theirs.

Roundabout

Way, way back.....

OK, in 1999....

I scored tickets to a concert at Sandstone Amphitheater when I was stationed at Ft. Riley in Kansas, to go see two bands that just absolutely rocked:  Kansas, and Yes.





They might not have had all the screaming fans of some other bands, but this was undoubtedly the beset concert I have ever been to in my entire life.  These two bands just blew people flat with their music, and all they had for a set was large, white sheets with a few colored lights behind them for effect.  The entire show was all about the music.

I really wish that "bands" today were half as talented.  Or at least, the bands that get record deals.  I've seen plenty of talented bands playing away in some club, never even getting a sniff from the big labels.

The Left's demands about birth control

summed up in one tweet:

"Get your politics out of my bedroom!" "Not a problem. I'm just going to grab my wallet before I leave." "The wallet stays, bigot."
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) June 30, 2014

And isn't that just the perfect summation?  Hell, isn't that just the perfect summation for 80% of the ProgLeft's arguments?  They want what they want, and they want everyone else to pay for it.

Aaaaaand, here we go

Every Caliphate needs it's leadership. and every leadership needs a communications network.  So we listen in on what they're saying, where they're going, and instead of sending a couple of divisions over, we just send bombers.  High altitude bombers, with GPS-guided JDAMS.

Boom.  The more leaders they move up, the more JDAMS we drop.  Don't just level the house.  Don't send in snipers.  Level the entire friggin' village.

I'm done being nice.  And we all know that Obama the petulant bitch doesn't have what it takes to win a war in Iraq.  Hell, he was handed a safe, stable country and fucked that up.  He certainly wouldn't be able to fix the mess he created now.  So I don't want to see any more US lives lost in Iraq until we have leadership that actually A) wants America to win as Obama doesn't and B) has the guts it takes to make the proper decisions, as Obama doesn't.
