  • John Wesley Byer; phony SEAL

    John Wesley Byer; phony SEAL

    One of our ninjas shared his work on this John Byers fellow who claims to be a Navy SEAL and he claims that he was wounded twice in Desert Storm, according to his forged DD214;

    He also awarded himself a Bronze Star Medal.

    The National Personnel Records Center doesn’t remember it like that, though. They remember Byer being in the Coast Guard for less than two years;

    He has other service that the NPRC can’t see;

    He appealed his conviction, but the courts didn’t give him a break. This is from the appeal;

    Defendant testified that at the time the search warrant was executed, he was living with his mother and stepfather at their home. His grandmother was also living there at the time. Defendant testified that while looking at legal pornography sites on the internet, pop-up images of child pornography appeared on the screen. On one occasion, he tried to click the “X” in the corner to close the pop-up but accidentally hit the “print” button, which was right next to the “X.” When he realized that he accidentally printed the page, he grabbed it, tore it into pieces, threw it to the side and forgot about it. He never looked at the page and did not know what was on it. He said he did not throw it in the garbage because it was late at night and he was not wearing any pants. He also did not want his mom to find it in the garbage can.

    In Fort Dodge, Iowa;

    Fifty-one-year-old Richard Remme, of Fort Dodge, told police he was playing with his dog, Balew, on the couch and tossed the dog off his lap. He says when the pit bull-Labrador mix bounded back up, he must have disabled the safety on the gun in his belly band and stepped on the trigger.

    The gun fired, striking one of Remme’s legs. He was treated at a hospital and released later that day.

    Remme told The Messenger newspaper that Balew is a “big wuss” and lay down beside him and cried because he thought he had done something wrong.

  • North Korea plans nuke dismantling event

    North Korea plans nuke dismantling event

    The Associated Press reports that North Korea plans to ceremoniously dismantle their nuclear weapons later this month;

    Kim had revealed plans to shut down the country’s northeastern testing ground by the end of May during his summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in last month. Analysts say the closure of the site is mostly symbolic and doesn’t represent a material step toward denuclearization.

    In a statement carried by state media, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said that all of the tunnels at the site will be destroyed by explosion, and that observation and research facilities and ground-based guard units also will be removed.

    The North plans to invite journalists from the U.S., South Korea, China, Russia and Britain to inspect the process, the statement said.

    More than two decades ago, Jimmy Carter went to Korea and enabled the hermit regime to continue their nuclear program in secret while we paid them. Just last year, Carter wrote in the Washington Post;

    Until now, severe economic sanctions have not prevented North Korea from developing a formidable and dedicated military force, including long-range nuclear missiles, utilizing a surprising level of scientific and technological capability. There is no remaining chance that it will agree to a total denuclearization, as it has seen what happened in a denuclearized Libya and assessed the doubtful status of U.S. adherence to the Iran nuclear agreement.

    Wrong again, Peanut Boy.

    Just a few weeks ago the media and Democrats in congress were wringing their hands worried over a nuclear war with North Korea.

    Fingers crossed for success this time around.

  • Dick’s cut off

    Dick’s cut off

    According to KUTV, Dick’s Sporting Goods is being treated as a pariah in the gun industry with gun manufacturers, Mossberg, Springfield Armory and MKS Supply refusing to deliver their wares to the retailer.

    “It has come to our attention that Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control,” said Iver Mossberg, Chief Executive Officer of the gun company.

    “Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ recent anti-Second Amendment actions,” Iver Mossberg concluded.

    […]

    MKS Supply said it “values the customers that it proudly serves and the God-given freedoms that they enjoy,” and that it believes it is “equally important to show our commitment to our customers by standing behind their Second Amendment rights.”

    […]

    Springfield continued:

    It is clear where Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, stand on the Second Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the rights and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick’s Sporting Goods’ continued attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans.

    The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) says that they will discontinue Dick’s membership.

    Lorena Bobbet is reportedly jealous.

  • Kent Brown; phony veteran

    Kent Brown; phony veteran

    Our partners at Military Phonies shared their work on this Kent Brown fellow who claims to be a military veteran in his videos and on social media;


    The National Personnel Records Center responds “Who?”

    Kent Steven Brown’s military records were requested. The National Personnel Records Center, which would hold Brown’s records, could find no records indicating that Brown served in the Armed Forces. It is possible that he could have served in a state level guard, but active duty would have shown up if he went to boot camp and certainly any specialized Army training.
