  • Air Force colonel orders Marine General to confinement

    Air Force colonel orders Marine General to confinement

    MCPO sends us a link to the Miami Herald which reports that Air Force Judge Colonel Vance Spath sentenced Marine Brigadier General John Baker to 21 days confinement and to pay a $1,000 fine for refusing the judge’s decision rescinding the general’s decision to release civilian lawyers, Rick Kammen, Rosa Eliades and Mary Spears from their obligation to defend Abd al Rahim al Nashiri in the USS Cole bombing case.

    The judge ordered Baker confined to his trailer quarters on Guantanamo Bay Navy Base and he ordered the lawyers to litigate the terrorists defense by telecommuting from New York City.

    Spath, who has declared they had no good cause to quit, had ordered Kammen, Eliades and Spears to come to Guantánamo on Sunday with other war court staff for a pretrial hearing. They refused. Kammen, a veteran capital defense attorney who had represented Nashiri for a decade, said Spath’s order to travel was an “illegal” effort to have three U.S. citizens “provide unethical legal services to keep the façade of justice that is the military commissions running.”

    Nashiri is accused of orchestrating al Qaida’s Oct. 12, 2000 suicide bombing of the U.S. warship off Yemen. Seventeen sailors died, and dozens more were injured. He has been in U.S. custody for 15 years, and was arraigned in 2011.

    Baker has been a critic of the hybrid-military/civilian court system in Guantanamo, according to Russia Today;

    “Put simply, the military commissions in their current state are a farce,” Baker said at a talk last year.

    As of Monday, Nashiri had just one attorney to represent him in the trial, and it is a US Navy lieutenant with no death penalty experience. The man could face military execution if he is convicted.

    I wonder if they’ve given that lieutenant a compass and a map – that would ensure that his client will die, one way or the other.

  • Bergdahl sentencing delayed

    Bergdahl sentencing delayed

    According to CNN, justice is delayed yet again. Bergdahl’s sentencing, which was supposed to happen today, has been rescheduled until Wednesday because of a lawyer’s family emergency.

  • Justice Department sides with baker

    The Washington Post reports that the Department of Justice filed a brief with the Supreme Court in support of baker Jack Phillips who was found guilty of violating the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act by refusing on religious grounds to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

    The government agreed with Phillips that his cakes are a form of expression, and he cannot be compelled to use his talents for something in which he does not believe.

    “Forcing Phillips to create expression for and participate in a ceremony that violates his sincerely held religious beliefs invades his First Amendment rights,” Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey B. Wall wrote in the brief.

    The DOJ’s decision to support Phillips is the latest in a series of steps the Trump administration has taken to rescind Obama administration positions favorable to gay rights and to advance new policies on the issue.

    The ACLU’s Louise Melling who is representing the aggrieved gay couple in the case says that she was surprised by the government’s filing;

    “Even in an administration that has already made its hostility” toward the gay community clear, Melling said, “I find this nothing short of shocking.”

    For those of you who are in love with the ACLU and constantly remind us that they supported the Nazis in Skokie, don’t you find it a little odd that they would force a baker to service a couple, a couple that could probably find a baker in Colorado that would happily provide the same service if they weren’t so lazy as to search for one more accommodating?

    This has nothing to do with the administration’s “hostility towards the gay community” and everything to do with freedom. This case only serves to force acceptance of the gay lifestyle down the collective throat of the American public, while violating the rights of free association, and forcing people to violate their personal religious beliefs.

    Yeah, the ACLU is great!

  • Guest post: Restraining and Peace Orders for Dummies

    Last night, Don Shipley asked us if we could spread the word on how to apply for a restraining or peace order.

    So here’s his advice;

    In some States they’re called Restraining Orders, in others Peace Orders and they range for 6 months to several years in length. Most are given out for acts of violence or potential acts of violence, (the X Husband who threatens.) But more and more, with the age of the Internet, are given out for cyberstalking and cyber harassment.

    If you’re being harassed with email and Internet postings the FIRST thing to do is ask “those” clowns to STOP.

    Write “Please don’t send me anymore emails or make anymore Internet Postings about me/us.”

    ***You may be asked in Court if you asked for the harassment to stop***

    Second is to NEVER delete any emails sent to you. Save or print them and highlight the parts where they say they’ll drown your wife in a river, parachute at night on to your property and kill everyone, or them having dreams of shooting you and your wife. Look carefully for threats and subtle hints that are threats as they add up.

    Look carefully at pictures they attach in email and post on Facebook, Google+ and Icelandic and Webapps websites that are easily proven to be theirs. Sending you pictures of men with AR-15 rifles shoved in their rectums is a threat and so is a depiction of you in a coffin and so is snipped scenes from the Walking Dead cannibal throat cutting scenes sent to you, your children and your better half.

    My wife and I share email accounts and she has access to all of them. When it’s sent to me she also sees it and that’s a bad thing for the despicably disgusting degenerates who scare our women and children sending terrifying images and pornography over email that’s easily accessible to our families.

    When they say they’ll “Commeth” that is a direct threat. Save it.

    All cyber degenerates are prolific writers, lurkers and stalkers and they forget where they write things. They make your business their business. Learn to use Google to find where they lurk and “Snip” their postings and rants. Also “Snip” what they are doing to others as it’s important to show a Judge that you are not ALONE. That dozens, perhaps hundreds are also their victims. Get and save the postings of children, parents, widows and any other innocent ones they attack.

    Watching Judge Judy reruns helps much. The best, most organized case always prevails. Simple, plain facts or what YOU perceive. Looking GOOD and professional in Court is always the way to win. Suit and tie…

    Judges judge. That’s what they do. They will judge your case against the defendant/s (clown/s) you seek a RO/PO against. They can claim all day long that “I never sent that Email, somebody hacked my account” and it won’t work with a well put together brief. That package doesn’t need to be a college thesis either. Judges are very used to nervousness from good people who have never had any trouble with the law and you’ll be afforded time to “spit it out.” Relax…

    NEXT… Is a trip to the Magistrate in your town in wherever USA or the Clerk’s Office with your package. You’ll need the defendant/s name, address, and date of birth which are very easy to find. And I’ll be very happy to help you with that information quickly.

    NEXT… You’ll fill out a simple paper stating what has happened. STICK TO THE FACTS and make it STRONG and compelling that you need help. You are a tax payer and you are asking for some very simple help. Have dates and have the proof. Show what has happened in the past 30-days and the past. Highlight “threats.”

    If your wife is also on the “deranged hit list” include her in a separate RO/PO. Judges frown on disgusting old men attacking women. BIG TIME. It’s also a BAD MOVE when your children have access to your computer and can stumble upon the degenerates’ depiction of “Daddy in a Coffin.” Traumatizing children ain’t good for degenerates in the Courts eyes.

    NEXT… You’ll raise your right hand and swear what you’ve written is the truth. In some states, you’ll see a Judge immediately who’ll look over everything and ask questions. In others, the Magistrate makes the decision and a “summons to appear” are sent to the police in that clown’s town to be served to him.

    The great part of a RO/PO is they normally must show up in “Your State” within seven to ten days for court. If they don’t show you are granted a RO/PO for a period of time that means “NO CONTACT” with you of any kind. The Judge will also ask who and where else you’d like the RO/PO to cover? Put down your children’s school, your place of employment, spouse employment and anyone else they’ve attacked close to you. HAMMER THEM and protect yourself, family and friends.

    When they do show you’ll just simply show and tell the Judge “What happened and What’s Occurred.” You’ve lived the nightmare, just tell the story. If the defendant/s (clowns) have restraining orders already in Virginia and Maryland tell the Judge that. It they have a Domestic Violence trial in Missouri tell the Judge that. Warrants and Bench Warrants in other States show the Judge. Explain you are not alone in these despicable attacks.
    Show him a pattern of disgusting insanity.

    NEXT… The defendant will speak to the Judge or his attorney will. Hopefully the defendant will speak as it doesn’t take the stuttering and weak-minded Jeffrey Dahmer side of them to come out. Stay quiet, don’t interrupt, take notes as you’ll speak again.

    You should have no trouble securing a RO/PO. All you’re asking for is for them to stop and leave you alone anyhow.

    The beauty of a RO/PO are the restrictions that go along with it. They can’t buy or possess any weapons and ones they have can be confiscated. And there is a very real stigma associated with anyone who has a RO/PO against them. It says loud and clear that somebody got tired of your bullshit and went the extra mile to get you to stop; that a Judge heard both sides and found the defendant guilty. It quickly makes them an outcast in the legal system and shows them as somebody that has REAL problems controlling themselves in Society.

    In the mind of the deranged they should be able to do and say whatever they want whenever they want and you should just sit there and take it. In the mind of a sociopath you are somehow cheating when you ask for help. A sociopath makes all the rules after all.
    But a RO/PO costs them much in travel to your State from Florida and attorney’s fees and standings in their communities and community legal system.

    They become known to Police quickly as they spend much time serving them and they’ve all had trouble with the law before.

    If they violate the RO/PO (and they will as they can’t control themselves) you just file more charges with the Magistrate. It all adds up.

    Sooner or later they’ll be talking to their neighbor using tin cup tap signals and seeing the world through a small mirror extended through gray bars.

    The final beauty is after they’re found guilty of violating the RO/PO and sentenced to prison, are the laws concerning them doing it again within two years of being found guilty. The penalties stiffen significantly to felonies. After that comes doing anything else to you within 20 years and it ain’t good. Bad Stuff… Alcatraz stuff…

    As with my case, having three RO/POs in two States hasn’t convinced the guilty that they’ve done anything wrong because that’s what being insane does to a person. Both have been thrown in jail with bonds in the thousands and pending two-year sentences in the Thunder Dome but it’s adding up quickly. And both face trial in Missouri for doing it to another person as they did to my wife and I.

    Sitting on the sidelines doesn’t work when phonies group together like seed ticks and latch on.

    If you are a victim then STAND UP NOW and face these cowardly clowns in Court.

    Bottom Line: Don’t cancel your trip to the Netherlands because you think all Dutch people belong to groups of masturbators. Go see your Magistrate.

    There is plenty of room in already overcrowded prisons for other victims of the degenerates…

  • Clockboy’s latest case dismissed

    Clockboy’s latest case dismissed

    You probably remember Ahmed Mohammed known as “Clock Boy” around these parts, and you probably remember that his father Mohammed Mohammed was laughed out of court earlier this year in his suit against the Center for Security Policy. Well, he was laughed out of Federal Court again on May 18th when he tried to sue the city of Irving, Texas and the school district for embarrassing their son by not recognizing his clock-building skills. According to DFW ABC local news, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit;

    Mohamed’s attorney, Susan Hutchison, said Mayor Beth Van Duyne in her capacity as a public official was afforded immunity in the matter.

    The original suit claimed Van Duyne and others were libelous in their statements about Ahmed Mohamed after he brought the clock to school in 2015.

    […]

    While many people on social media were quick to show support for Mohamed, the high school freshman and his family also received several violent threats. That forced the family to move overseas so that the teen could study in Qatar. “I get a lot of hate,” Mohamed stated in August. “I got a lot of support in the beginning, but it’s the hate that sticks.”

    According to court records, the family has until June 1st to file an amended complaint. The case was dismissed on May 18.

    I’m betting that they will refile on June 1st because that’s how Mohammed Mohammed plans to feed his family, on sympathy and the kindness of folks who think that they can tell the difference between a bomb and clock – until that one time….

  • Former Congresswoman Corrine Brown Doubles Down on “Teh Stoopid”

    Remember former Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL)?  You know, the “fine lady” who ran for re-election to Congress from a district in the Jacksonville, FL, area last year while under Federal indictment for fraud and other charges (20+ total counts)?

    You should – she’s been featured in multiple articles here at TAH.  But if you need a memory assist, I’ve written about her here; that article links to numerous others about the “fine lady” written by Jonn and TSO.

    Well, it seems Ms. Brown is in the news again. And as before, not in a good way.

    It appears that well after she lost her try at re-election (she was defeated in the Democratic Primary in late August, 2016), she decided she’d tap campaign funds again – to the tune of more than $13,000 – to pay for things that on the surface certainly appear to be highly questionable if not outright illicit campaign expenses.  This Washington Free Beacon article has details.

    Frankly, I don’t see any issue.  That $11,000+ in “lodging expenses” at a DC-area Marriott in late September seems to be a totally legitimate expense to pay from re-election campaign funds.  So what if it was weeks after she lost her bid for reelection – and occurred nowhere near her former Congressional district?  Ditto that $2,000+ in “petty cash” withdrawn from those same campaign funds during a period of roughly 2 1/2 weeks starting in mid-October.  What’s the problem?  (I do hope the sarcasm in this paragraph is obvious.)

    Criminy.  She was already under indictment, and it certainly looks like she went out and did more of the same.  Is she really that freaking stupid?

    Don’t bother answering.  I think we already know the answer.

    To repeat a question I asked in a previous article:  I wonder how she looks in an orange jumpsuit?

  • “No ‘Wiretapping’ ”, Eh?

    Well, then it will certainly be interesting to hear what the former Occupant, 1600 Penn Avenue, Wash DC, and his defenders have to say when Representative Devin Nunes goes public later this week.

    Rep. Nunes is Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.  And reportedly he has information showing that yes, in fact some of the Trump Campaign’s post-election communications were “incidentally” intercepted – and that those intercepts were provided to the White House.

    The information was provided to Rep. Nunes by personnel within the US Intelligence Community.  It reportedly corroborates information Rep. Nunes had already obtained from other sources.

    Oh, and did I mention that the CIA Director is also reportedly interested in determining the extent of any monitoring of President-Elect Trump’s communications by the former     gang of incompetent fools running DC prior to 20 January 2017     Administration?

    Stay tuned.  This one could get interesting.

  • Itai Ozderman; Washington Post employee played phony ICE agent

    Itai Ozderman; Washington Post employee played phony ICE agent

    The Washington Post reports that Itai Ozderman, an IT employee of theirs was suspended on Monday after he was spotted in Falls Church, Virginia wearing a ballistic vest emblazoned with “ICE” (Immigration and Customs Enforcement);

    As part of the investigation into Ozderman, a Montgomery County SWAT team and FBI agents searched his home two weeks ago just before 6 a.m. They found a cache of guns, including two M4 assault rifles, court records show. Officers also searched a Volkswagen Jetta used by Ozderman and found a loaded Sig Sauer semiautomatic handgun, as well as a Baltimore County police badge, a police radio and tactical vests, court records show.

    Those alleged discoveries led to two charges against him: transporting a loaded handgun and possession of the police badge while not being a Baltimore County officer, the court files state.

    I’m sure he was just exercising his freedom of speech.

    An “investigation determined that Itai Ozderman was impersonating a federal law enforcement officer and a local law enforcement [officer] in the Falls Church, Va., area,” Montgomery police wrote in court papers…“It was also reported that Ozderman was enforcing or attempting to enforce criminal laws.”

    Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.
