Sec. of the Army Dickless John McHugh

From the WashTimes:

A group of House lawmakers is moving to strip the armed services’ civilian leaders of the power to revoke combat valor awards in response to Army Secretary John McHugh unilaterally canceling the Silver Star, one of the military’s highest honors, for a former Green Beret officer.

Mr. McHugh took the action against Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, who braved repeated enemy fire in Afghanistan, even though he has not been charged with any offenses. The Army now is seeking to release him with a less-than-honorable discharge. The officer plans to fight the move, his attorney says.

The secretary acted after the CIA informed the Army that Maj. Golsteyn, during a polygraph exam for a job application, told of killing a terrorist who was making improvised explosive devices (IEDs), the weapon that has killed more Americans in Afghanistan than any other. The Army also removed Maj. Golsteyn from the elite ranks of the Green Berets.

You may very well guess what my reaction to this is:

Dickless John McHugh

Every morning at the Pentagon you’ll see him arrive

He stands five foot six and weighs one ninety-five.

Kinda narrow at the shoulder and broad at the hip

And everybody with a medal knows it’ll soon be stripped

By Dickless John

Nobody seemed to know where his dick had gone

But it’s said he lost it when his momma yawned

Her jaws slammed shut like a stainless steel trap

And now he carries his dick in a brown paper sack

Dickless John

Then came the day Maj. Golsteyn won a star

Saved a bunch of soldiers in a battlefield afar

There was a lot of shootin’ and hearts beat fast

Major Golsteyn showed bravery that was unsurpassed

‘Cept to John

Dickless John

Ya see, Major Golsteyn killed a terrorist

But didn’t read him his rights or some other shit

So Dickless John had to make his move

He yanked that medal ’cause he had to prove

He’s Dickless John

If you visit the Pentagon in a year or two

You may hear Dickless John try to misconstrue

Why he yanked that Silver Star from Maj. Golsteyn’s chest

It was because of honor and Dickless John knows best

But if you ask any soldier from Fort Bragg to Seoul

It’s because Dickless John ....... is a fucking asshole.

Dickless John
His dick is gooooone
Dickless John.

There's A Table In Hell Reserved For The Clintons

Remember the good old days?

Remember when the Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile program was measured in the length of a football field instead of leagues?

Remember when we all assumed that the highest political positions in this country would not sell out our national interests to the highest bidder?

I remember. So does the Washington Examiner.

Foreign donors are refusing to say why they sent millions of dollars in 2014 to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

Of 38 donors listed on the foundation's website who were contacted by the Washington Examiner,18 declined to answer at all, and the other 18 either responded suspiciously or stuck to generalities and refused to address follow-up questions.

Why are we surprised? The shock value of the Clinton Foundation's mendacity/perfidy (running out of descriptive nouns here - someone give me a hand) should have been anticipated given the massive transfer of missile/nuclear weapons technology that occurred during Billy Jeff's administration.

Clinton was in office three years when the crash of a People's Republic of China Hughes/Loran satellite launch (February 1996) alerted American officials that the PRC had obtained sensitive missile technology and encryption techniques from US corporations.

This investigation lead to other startling revelations. The Chinese had gained access to US neutron bomb technology as well as the W-88 warhead. The Hughes and Loral Corporations had assisted the PRC in developing the capabilities of their missiles.

Still, the Clinton administration stymied investigative efforts to uncover the theft of nuclear secrets and refused to initiate recommendations for background checks of foreign visitors to the nation's nuclear laboratories for 17  months.

Much of this is documented in the Cox Report, otherwise known as the Report of the Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China.

And what did Clinton do after the uproar of the Cox Report? He approved the transfer of even more technology to China.

WASHINGTON, May 10— The Clinton Administration notified Congress today that it had approved the export of technology to China to permit the launching of a communications satellite aboard a Chinese rocket next month.

President Clinton said in a letter to Congress that the transfer would not harm national security or significantly improve China's military capability in space. The President was required under a 1998 law to certify that all such technology exports are in the national interest.

The certification was the first such notice to Congress under the law, which was passed in the aftermath of a Congressional uproar last year over the transfer of sensitive missile technology to China.

Mr. Clinton's notification also follows by less than a week the release of a report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which concluded that lax monitoring of the launching of American-made satellites aboard Chinese rockets had enhanced the accuracy of China's ballistic missile arsenal.

There's more here and here.

And who was the President's National Security Advisor during this period? The person assisting the President in developing a rational response to this incursion into America's most sensitive military technology? Why none other than Mr. Sandy "Hot Pockets" Berger, who was caught stealing and destroying classified documents from the National Archives.

According to reports from the Inspector General of the National Archives and the staff of the House of Representatives' Government Operations Committee, Mr. Berger, while acting as former President Clinton's designated representative to the commission investigating the attacks of September 11, 2001, illegally took confidential documents from the Archives on more than one occasion. He folded documents in his clothes, snuck them out of the Archives building, and stashed them under a construction trailer nearby until he could return, retrieve them, and later cut them up. After he was caught, he lied to the investigators and tried to shift blame to Archive employees.

Now let's return to another transfer, this time of cash from the Chinese to the Clinton's; back to the Washington Examiner article.

The importance of who gave to the foundation and why was highlighted this week when CBS News revealed that one donor in 2013 was Rilin Enterprises. Rilin is headed by Wang Wienlang, a Chinese businessman who was invited to join the National Peoples' Congress as a delegate in the same year as he made the donation.

Rilin is close to China's national security and intelligence agencies. Besides the $2 million given to the Clintons' foundation, Rilin also spent at least another $1.4 million in 2012 lobbying Congress and the U.S. State Department, of which Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.

And that's just one. single. donor.

Here's another; Bernard Schwartz, of Loral Space and Communications Corporation - the guy whose satellite crash opened up this can of worms. He's a big time donor for Clinton and the dems:

In June 1994, Bernard L. Schwartz, the chairman of Loral Corp., wrote his first six-figure check to the Democratic Party, donating $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

Around the same time, Schwartz asked to be included on a trade mission being organized by then-Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown to China, where his company hoped to win a piece of the growing telecommunications market. On the trip, Brown arranged a meeting for Schwartz and a rival industry executive with the Chinese communications minister – a session that, as Schwartz recalled it yesterday, "helped open doors that were not open before."

The Clinton administration has been good to Bernard Schwartz, and he to it. Schwartz, a lifelong Democrat and longtime political donor, dramatically ratcheted up his giving after President Clinton took office, contributing a total of more than $1 million to Democratic party committees since then.

More on Schwartz' political donations here. It's amazing how those donations decreased once Billy Jeff left the Oval Office and Loral Space was no longer under government scrutiny.

The Clintons are rolling in cash. The Chinese gained billions and billions of dollars in American military technology created through the largesse of American taxpayers and we didn't even get a fucking eggroll out of it.

They Should Have Sent The Dog

Clad in the latest Marriott Residency Inn Sleep-O-Rama pattern (Room 626 Edition), Princess Michele performs the Bataan Death Curtsy for the Emperor of Japan.

From the Daily Mail:

Michelle Obama has had an awkward start to her visit to Japan as she was pictured towering over Emperor Akihito and stumbling as she tried to bow, shake his hand and curtsy at once. 

But all was well after the Emperor gave her a treat.

The First Lady, dressed in a florid combination of a blazer and skirt, dwarfed the Emperor in her silver stilettos, while he maintained his composure and smiled politely. 

She then squatted slightly while shaking his hand, seemingly trying to disguise the difference of height between them.

She really, really liked the treat but the Emperor brought only the one.

Mrs Obama, who is 5ft 9in tall, also caused embarrassment earlier in the day when she grabbed Akie Abe, wife of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in a hug-and-handshake combination while the Japanese First Lady was trying to bow.

The last incident was explained as a simple mistake; the First Lady thought Mrs. Abe was dressed like a french fry.

Fortunately the Air Force jet carrying her condiments and chili dogs was refueling in Guam so Mrs. Abe was in no danger.

And It's Bibi For Six

We need someone like this.

But, instead, we got this clown.

Obama brought his Dooms Day Defense into the game. They sucked like everything else he does.

Bibi wins re-election.

When it comes to elections, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu is the political equivalent of a scrambling quarterback. During the three-month election campaign that ended Tuesday night, the prime minister fell 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage before evading a savage blitz, escaped a catastrophic sack, then, at the last moment, turned upfield, crossed the line of scrimmage and galloped ahead for a huge gain.

Although Netanyahu’s Likud Party only won about half the number of seats needed to secure a majority in Israel’s parliament, it did so much better than anyone (including Bibi) expected that he seems to have triumphed in the goal he had set for himself last December when he broke up the government he had formed in 2013 and called new elections.

And They Wonder Why We Want To Forget.

Men are forgetful. It's a self defense mechanism that we developed over the ages.

It's official, say scientists, men really do have worse memories than women.

A new US study shows memory loss is a natural part of ageing which doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll succumb to Alzheimer’s.

Declining memory is common to everyone, but it affects men earlier in life – most notably from their 40s.

Dr Clifford Jack Jr. of the Mayo Clinic and Foundation in Minnesota said the findings should reassure people that some level of memory loss is a natural feature of getting older.

[...]Dr Jack said it was unclear why men’s brains tend to decline more rapidly, but supplies of the female hormone oestrogen may help women’s brains stave off neuron damage until midlife.

It's like an estrogen crazed neuron fires off somewhere in their frontal lobe and the next thing you know it's, like, how come you don't wear that shirt I bought you, why did your mother say this, how come you always fart so loud at my sister's house...

More Creepy Sex

Even Robot Sex Has It's Down Side

I was yanked out of patrol and worked street prostitution details for a little while back in the 80's. The PD needed "fresh blood" every few months or so to go after the hookers who were at times out of control downtown. They stopped cars and propositioned male drivers even if their wives were in the front seat with them.

The girls were mostly pitiful and not too bright, some were vicious; one in particular was psychotic, bonkers - a screaming loony named Carmen. Of course that was the one I had a run in with on a busy Friday night in the middle of traffic - no gun, no badge (the whores would check you for them), the walkie-talkie left in the car, a half naked crazy whore and a carload of football players ... story some other time maybe.

But technology changes things. And of course it now seems on the brink of changing the way men rent a woman for pleasure.

It’s 2020, and Roger, a recent divorcé from New York, decides to pay for some female company. So he turns on his computer, connects a robotic vagina to it and starts having sex with Cinnamon, a college student in Sydney with a computer and a remotely controlled robotic penis.

Creeped out yet? Welcome to the future of prostitution.

If you're a guy, the way it works is like this.

1. You rent/buy a USB device that slips over your male member and then plug it into your computer/tablet/smart phone while working behind the counter at McDonald's, driving a school bus or babysitting your grandchildren. 
2. You contact a virtual prostitute over the interwet tubes.
3. It could be a real woman - or guy -  or neither - you won't know, even with a webcam.
4. The prostitute/program is interfaced with a device that reproduces the action of a vagina, mouth, chicken or lawn mower when a penis is inserted into it.
5. Enter your credit card number and prepare to have your greased-up, latex world rocked.

In a completely immersive virtual reality environment you could pay to find yourself in an airplane over the Pacific doing Amelia Earhart, under the desk of the Oval Office channeling Monica or mid-field of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Stadium wearing a tutu and sniffing Jesse Owens' track shoes.


Your dollar, your fantasy.

To be sure, technology alone is not going to remove crime or exploitation from the sex work equation. So while technology can make a difference, some experts say, it depends on the position of the sex worker to begin with. “The Internet is still out of reach for the most vulnerable, those who work on the streets,” says Samantha Majic, an assistant political science professor at the City University of New York who specializes in the politics of sex work. So, less than a democratizing tool, virtual sex may just evolve as the guilty pleasure of lonely, wealthy, sci-fi lovers. Working online also has its own risks. It can make it harder to detect abusive clients or undercover cops and isolate workers who would otherwise naturally share tips and advice.

Every twisted desire that the human mind can dredge up will be available in the comfort of your livingroom with a WiFi whore.

At least you won't find out that crazy Carmen is double jointed as she slams her knee into your balls.

Fair And Balanced

Fair and Balanced and Heavily Medicated. That's me.
Not all Muslims are haters.
It's just so hard to develop munitions that only kill the maniacs.

Given the radical Islamic insurgence in their country, it would seem that the Iraqi Muslims in this video are literally taking their lives into their hands by speaking out about the plight of Christians in Iraq.




My Army daughter had an Iraqi Christian friend while she was studying in Cairo. We never met Susan (that's what she wanted to be called) but from my daughter's stories, she is a very sweet young woman.

Her friend's parents packed up the family and left Iraq after Saddam Hussein's regime fell due to fear of radical Islam. Many, many Christians have left Iraq. Susan's family now lives in Chicago, they are still friends. It is for these Christians that the TV personalities weep.

The Crusades Are Not Jihad

For an excellent summary of the confusing, dualistic, homicidal mishmash of religo-politial bullshit that is Islamic doctrine (I have a copy of the Koran and it is psychotic gibberish to me) go here.  But, like in most of life, not all Muslims subscribe to violent jihad. Many Muslims are like Christians in that they pick and choose what doctrine they believe. More on that later.

More on the creator of the video, Bill Warner.

Bill Warner holds a PhD in physics and math, NC State University, 1968. He has been a university professor, businessman, and applied physicist.

Dr. Warner has had a life-long interest in religion and its effects on history. He has studied the source texts of the major religions for decades. Even before the destruction of the World Trade Center he had predicted the war between Islam and America.

Dr. Warner’s training in scientific theory and mathematics shaped how he analyzed Islamic doctrine.

Statistical methods applied to the Islamic texts showed that:
· Islam is far more of a political system than a religion.
· There is no unmitigated good in Islam for the Kafir (non-Muslim).
· Islam’s ethical system is dualistic and is not based on the Golden Rule.
· Islamic doctrine cannot be reconciled with our concepts of human rights and our Constitution.
· The great majority, 96%, of all Islamic doctrine about women subjugates them.
· The Sunna (what Mohammed did and said) is more important than the Koran in a Muslim’s daily life.

Chinese Take Out ... Taiwan?

Why China Will Lose the War It is Planning
By David Archibald
How do we know the war is coming in the first place? Because the advertising for it is out. Amongst plenty of other evidence, one Chinese front organisation conducted a poll on Australian attitudes to the ANZUS treaty and a Chinese attack on Japan. Why would they conduct such a poll unless they are going to attack Japan? Not that they were interested in the results as such. They just wanted to be able to publicize the poll in order to try to keep Australia on the sidelines of their war.

The war will have two functions for China. Firstly, it will provide legitimacy for the regime as economic growth stalls. Secondly, the Chinese will have pride in humiliating their neighbouring countries, and the United States, by defeating them in battle and creating no-go zones in the oceans which other countries won’t be able to enter without Chinese permission. The war will have nothing to do with oil and gas resources under the seabed and securing sea-lanes. The Chinese have never offered those excuses for their behavior themselves. The excuses are the creation of Western pundits for something that otherwise is stupid, destructive, and primitive.

Some have seen this war coming well in advance. In 2005, Robert Kaplan wrote an article entitled How We Would Fight China. In it he notes that China will approach the war “asymmetrically, as terrorists do. In Iraq the insurgents have shown us the low end of asymmetry, with car bombs. But the Chinese are poised to show us the high end of the art.”

The rest of the story is here.
Good luck with not buying goods manufactured in China.

How To Get Crushed By A 57 Story Buiding

Don't bother leaping over this building in a single bound.

It'll come down all on its own soon enough.

A developer in China has built an entire 57-story building in just 19 days.

And as this time-lapse video shows, the Mini Sky City building was put up brick by brick at a rate of three full storeys a day in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province in south-central China.

The building has 800 apartments and enough office space for 4,000 people. It was originally planned to be built up to a height of 220 storys, but it was cut down because of concern it was too close to a nearby airport.

I'm surprised more people in Colorado aren't seeing stuff like this all day, every day.

Coloradans who were up before the sun on Wednesday morning saw a "bright green" fireball soar across the sky before it burned out over the mountains.

More than 60 eyewitnesses filed sightings on the American Meteor Society's website.

Didn't See This In The News, Didja?

An off duy police officer was robbed and shot seven times. The three pices of s**t that did this are black. Deputy Scott Wood of the Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office is expected to survive.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Wyandotte County prosecutors brought charges against three men on Friday accused of carrying out an armed robbery at a Family Dollar store at 13th and Quindaro on March 3.

Charles Bowser, Dyron King and Cecil Meggerson have all been charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery and one count of criminal possession of a firearm related to the incident. All are being held in jail on $1 million bonds.

ATF Backs Off

From Fox News:

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is shelving a proposal to ban a popular but highly lethal type of bullet, amid opposition from gun-rights advocates and hundreds of members of Congress.

The agency said in a statement on Tuesday it would not seek to issue the final guidelines "at this time." The proposal pertained to M855 "green tip" ammunition, used in the AR-15 rifle, which regulators looked at banning because it can pierce police body armor.

The ATF said it would instead wait until Americans have finished commenting on the federal regulations and evaluate their comments and suggestions before "proceeding with any framework."

Still, Fox News made an idiot comment.
Basically all bullets are "highly lethal."
That's why they make bullets instead of marshmallows dummy.
