Never Forget !
I watched a program last night about the 9-11-01 tragedy showing excerpts and pictures together with interviews with some of the survivors. I didn't want to watch; I've seen it before, but I felt it was my duty to keep the memory alive of the innocent people who died.
The saving grace for the lives of potentially thousands more victims was that the attacks began before 9am and most workers were still en route to work.
I was compelled to watch the planes crash into the buildings again and the fear and chaos on the faces of people in the streets who were slowly beginning to realize what was happening.
I watched people on the higher floors who were trapped and had to make the difficult decision of whether to die in the smoke and blazing fire or to jump to their deaths. I watched both buildings crumble and fall.
Firefighters, police and other rescue people who helped during the tragedy still suffer from breathing the toxic fumes during the tragedy and some are just beginning to be afflicted with sicknesses caused by the same toxic fumes.
We know who the perpetrators were! The same people continue to spread terror through out the world and especially Europe. The same people who cry out "Death To America" daily.
I predict there will come a day where innocent people will stand and cry out "enough" and major cities will be wiped off the map to show we mean business.
Still, there will always be a place in my heart for the victims and the fire fighters, police and other rescuer who ran towards the fallen buildings to aid in the rescue of fellow Americans.
It is this date in history, now 17 years ago, that we remember and pray for the victims, rescuers and their families.
God Bless America!

Pearl Harbor 75 Years Ago
Seventy-five years ago, the Japanese attacked on our fleet in Pearl Harbor destroying nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships and more than 300 airplanes. More than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors died in the attack and another 1,000 were wounded.
We didn't start it, but we damned well finished it. Remember our veterans and remember Pearl Harbor.
That's it for now. More soon !

Al Frankenstein
Leeann Tweeden, a radio news anchor accused Senator Al Franken, D-Minn., of forcibly kissing and groping her a decade ago when they were overseas entertaining U.S. troops.
When she left the USO show and looked over photographs given to her by a photographer that she found one that showed Franked grabbing her breasts while she was sleeping in the plane and wearing an army-issued protective vest.
Franken, a former Saturday Night Live pseudo comedian, went on to reinforce the validity of the Peter Principal when he was elected to the U.S. Senate.
Uh, not so much, Al.....

God Bless Those That Served !
Since the American Independence, America has occasionally had to go to war. Throughout history, men and women, without hesitation, took up arms when asked to defend this land. Some came back injured and some never returned. God Bless America!

Trump Wins Presidency !
The people have spoken and Donald J. Trump will be the 45th president of the United States, confirming my belief that Americans have no use for selfish liars. The elections also left Republicans with a majority in the Senate and the House.
For those who are dissatisfied with the results (including Republicans), if Trump can't do the job. then we will fire his ass in four years, as well, and get another candidate who wants to "drain the swamp" of crooked politicians.
As far as the future of FBI director James Comey, I think I would be filling out my resume for a new job, because he will be out as soon as Trump is sworn in.
For those lying liberal assholes, including Al Sharpton, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher, George Lopez, et al, who said they would leave America and move to Canada if Trump won, buses are now loading at gate three.
And finally, a notice to all liberals, Lefties and other assorted public toe-jamb: We survived 8 years of your anointed savior,

Happy Father's Day Guys !
I would like to honor my father and all the other fathers who faithfully do what is expected of them each and every day without much fanfare. A real father knows that this is just the way it is and accepts it. Today is a day to take the time to appreciate them.
So my hat's off to all the guys out there who do exactly that. Happy Father's Day!
That's it for now. More soon !

Remember Our Soldiers
Today we honor the men and women of America's Armed Forces, past and present, for this wonderful weekend and the freedom to enjoy it. My father, my brother, my nephew, many friends and myself served our country when called.
When Dad was alive, he and Mother always made this very special day memorable because they always attended Memorial Day services. Dad served during World War II and on this special day, I thought I show you a picture that was taken of him by the Miami Herald.
My Army years were a mix the seriousness of the Vietnam War and serving as a combat medic. The war took the lives of many young men my age and injured even more. The true severity of the war is still being revealed as the veterans age and their injuries take their toll.
Looking back, I am proud of all the members of my family who served. My prayers are with the men and women of the armed forces.
This weekend, take the time to say a prayer for these valiant warriors. It is because of their efforts that we are able to safely enjoy this weekend.
That's it for now. More soon !

White House Censors French President François Hollande For Saying "Islamist terrorism"
Obama is so paranoid about linking terrorists to the Muslim faith that when French President François Hollande used the phrase "Islamist terrorism" at a meeting in Washington, White House officials posted their official press video with audio of the words cut out completely.
The 8-minute clip was posted on the White House Web site and showed Hollande discussing the global terror threat at a Nuclear Security Summit meeting with Obama and advisers on Thursday.
The White House’s transcript of the event shows the French leader declared at the 4:49 minute mark that "the roots of terrorism, Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq."
But rather than include Hollande’s remark in its entirety, the Obama administration posted footage in which his interpreter’s English translation of the words "Islamist terrorism" was missing.
The audio gap was first reported by the Media Research Center, a media watchdog. After initially posting the video without the edits, the White House took it down and uploaded it again with the interpreter’s voice muted, the MRC reported.
The nonprofit group reported that the White House’s official MP3 recording of the meeting was also censored, but that the transcript was not.
A user wrote in a comment on the White House’s YouTube page,"Thanks, of course, Ministry of Propaganda offices at WH for going ahead and simply posting the proof!" Another wrote: "Nice backtracking, White House. You tried to censor Hollande and you know it."
Obama, who has come under fire for refusing to say "radical Islam" or "Islamic terrorist", made three mentions of terrorism throughout Thursday’s meeting, uttering the phrases "hands of terrorism," "scourge of terrorism" and "counterterrorism."
A White House official said the audio gap was the result of a technical error that (just) happened to come as Hollande was uttering the controversial words (Nice try, no cigar).
The official told The Post, "Nothing was edited out. A technical issue with the audio during the recording of President Hollande’s remarks led to a brief drop in the audio recording of the English interpretation. As soon as this was brought to our attention, we posted an updated video online with the complete audio, which is consistent with the written transcript."
As of 6 p.m. Friday, the White House had posted footage with the words "Islamic terrorism" included.
