  • US Army Deserter Found Nearly Two Decades Later in Indiana

    US Army Deserter Found Nearly Two Decades Later in Indiana

    An American man who deserted the U.S. Army nearly two decades ago has turned up working as a dishwasher at an Italian restaurant in Indiana, police say.

    Robert Eugene Brodbeck’s cover was blown late last week after voluntarily walking into the Clinton Police Department and talking to officers due to a scuffle he had with a co-worker the day after Christmas.

    “He worked jobs in things where he was paid in cash,” Larry Keller, dispatcher and records clerk for the Clinton Police Department, told the Indianapolis Star. “Nothing that ever required a Social Security number. He lived in a low-rent apartment. He walked everywhere and never had a driver’s license. He was really no trouble.”

    But during conversations with police, the 46-year-old gave them the name Robert Eugene Bowmen — an alias that returned no matches in their databases.

    Brodbeck eventually gave them his real identity after he learned they were preparing to arrest him for providing false information, the Indianapolis Star reported.

    A search of Brodbeck’s past uncovered that he is wanted in Texas for dodging police and failing to appear in court — and that he deserted the Army in 2000, it added, although details of that alleged action weren’t immediately available.

    Nothing like a career in Low Expectations.  WTF is this clown thinking.  He will get a lawyer now and the VA will be required to provide complete medical coverage and compensation including back pay because of his PTSD.

    Somebody has to do the dishes…we need these people to be left alone.

  • Arthur James Dicken – Dead Phony SEAL

    Arthur James Dicken – Dead Phony SEAL

    Most of you are familiar with AJ Dicken.  He has been posted here at TAH many times.  He assumed room temperature on  December 31.   I guess living with a festering puss filled ego finally rotted him from the inside out.   I get criticism sometimes for speaking ill of the dead … Arthur James Dicken cannot be spoken of in an ill enough manner for my liking.  Dicken did manage to get some classic Shipley attention.

    If anyone wants to write about my life, I will have to be paid more than Dicken was offered for his bullshit story.  Some of my bullshit might actually be true.   At least AJ Dicken had the grace to die before the new year started.   2019 is looking better all the time.

    I visited a lot of gravesites in 2018.  Some I honored … some I pissed on.

    The video below has most of the story.  Don is always at his best when these clowns are at their worst.

  • Ikeishi! Ikeishi buadda, japalai!!!

    This is in regard to Melania Trump’s choice of yellow Timberland boots on her trip with Pres. Trump to visit the troops during the Christmas holidays. The noise that has been generated over them consists of not just gossip, but blatant lies.

    There was something posted on Twitter about racism on her part in this egregious spatter of pejoratives, based on her choosing to wear those boots.

    From Business Insider:  https://www.businessinsider.com/melania-trump-timberland-boots-visit-troops-iraq-2018-12

    That’s on one of those ‘turn off your ad blocker’ deals, so read it if you wish.

    The “racist” nonsense comes from a now-defunct site called Naha Daily, which in 2014 claimed falsely that Timberland’s CEO said he didn’t want blacks or Latinos in his boots. They admitted that it was completely made up out of whole cloth – a lie, in plain English, but people are now digging it up and pointing the finger at it and saying ‘Aha!’ and making themselves far worse than they pretend Mrs. Trump is.

    According to Snopes, the false remarks originated from a December 2014 article from the now defunct site Naha Daily, which cited the shoe company’s CEO saying he did not want to see “Blacks and Latinos” in the boots.

    Snopes reported that a disclaimer on the Naha Daily’s site said that its content was “based off current events [in 2014] in urban culture and entertainment” and was “completely fictional.”

    Got that? Completely fictional.

    It is something that some moron cooked up in 2014, posted on his website, and then added a disclaimer that it was all made up out of dust bunnies and hot air and is completely fictional. Naha Daily is out of business, but this trash still shows up.

    Because there are enough imbeciles on the internet to populate a small planet like Mars, this disclaimer is disregarded by them as an inconvenient fact. They ignore it and subsequently carry the lie forward, using it against someone who had nothing to do with the source of the lie.

    They do this out of pure hatred toward someone who has done nothing to them but exist.

    Because they are addicted to trash, they got all excited when  Mrs. Obama was recently seen in a yellow split-front drapey dress that would not look good on a bone-thin runway model, wearing thigh-high streetwalker glitter boots with it. If you dare, take a look. And don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/12/leftists-mock-first-lady-melania-for-wearing-timberland-boots-but-they-loved-michelle-obamas-streetwalker-thigh-high-glittery-boots/

    Melania Trump, on the other hand, wore sensible boots on her Christmas trip to visit troops overseas, but people still won’t lay off her.

    Yes, she’s made some faux pas. We all do that, but this obnoxious trash is grasping at straws, acting out their roles as schoolyard bullies because they think it’s okay.  They have the maturity of freshly-laid eggs. And even if the hen sat on them, they’d still turn out to be rotten.

    I have never seen such hatred manifested toward someone simply because she exists and has done nothing to deserve it.

    This poisonous, festering slop has consequences for the people who generate it and perpetuate it. Employers expect their hirees to behave like adults in an adult world. Everything is investigated now.  People who do these things are telling potential employers that they are not reliable, won’t be good workers, and won’t focus on doing their jobs.

    Would you like fries with that?

    Oh, yeah, the title – The first word starts with “F”, and the last word starts with “A”.  And it means the same thing in another language that it means in English.

  • 11-Year-Old ‘Drag Queen’ Dances for Dollar Bills in Gay Bar

    11-Year-Old ‘Drag Queen’ Dances for Dollar Bills in Gay Bar

    There has been a lot of discussion behind the scenes about if we should post this.  It’s not really military in nature but it is an indication of how twisted the Libtarded can become if left unsupervised.  I figured it needs to be out there in Google land what many of us actually think about it.

    An 11-year-old boy known as “Desmond Is Amazing” danced on stage at a New York gay bar while grown men tossed dollar bills at him.

    “The pre-adolescent boy, dressed in drag to imitate singer Gwen Stefani, pranced around the stage at Brooklyn’s 3 Dollar Bill, an LGBT bar described as ‘queer owned & operated,’ and ‘Brooklyn’s Premiere Queer Bar & Performance Venue,’” LifeSiteNews reports.

    For reasons that suddenly make sense, the bar enforces a strict ban on cell phone usage.

    One Yelp reviewer wrote that the bar makes you “put your phone into a locked magnet pouch at the door, so it can’t be used while there. You can slip it into your pocket but can’t get in the pouch.”

    Another explained it this way: “The club put our phones in these locked sleeves, which we could [carry] around the club.”

    The first to report this about the sexual exploitation of this child was a YouTuber named Yosef Ozia, who connected all these dots based on the Yelp reviews:

    WARNING: some may find this very disturbing.

    As you can see in the video, this 11-year-old boy is dressed in drag and prancing around wearing a tank top as grown men cheer and throw money.

    In even creepier news, “Desmond Is Amazing” has been celebrated by the establishment media.

    The Daily Beast and NBC News have both gushed over what can only be described as the sexual exploitation of a child.

    According to LifeSite, “ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ (GMA) recently devoted a segment to the boy during which his cross-dressing was celebrated as an example of individuality, and his parents were praised for their support of his drag hobby.”

    The Daily Wire reports that this exploitation has been going on for years: “When Desmond was just six years old, he was featured in a music video with drag queen and Season Six winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Jinkx Monsoon. As a fourth-grader, the child was used to advance the LGBT agenda, giving a speech at New York City’s Pride in 2017.”

    According to Desmond’s biography, he came out as a homosexual — when he was born:

    Desmond was born in June 2007, during NYC Pride Week, at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Manhattan. As he tells it, this means that he “is a member of the Village People by default”. He has also claimed that he “came out of the closet when he was born”. Desmond has a loving family and lives in New York City with his father, mother, and many pets. He also has an older sister. Desmond’s nickname at home is Desi.

    In this same write up, though, Desmond’s parents claim they are just letting him do what he wants — that a therapist told them this is healthy. In other words, if he enjoys dressing like a girl, being an LGBT icon, and performing in drag, let him.

    But it also says this [emphasis added]:

    Although he wants everyone to express themselves as genuinely as possible, he is concerned about the growing trend of young teen and child drag performers to dress or act overly sexy or provocatively, much like their adult counterparts. He feels that it sends the wrong message about all young drag performers and results in added aggression, bullying, and hatred, not only from society, but from within the LGBTQ community itself. Although an often controversial topic, he would personally like to see more young people discovering a drag style that speaks to their personal truth, but is at the same time, more age appropriate.

    So, in public, Desmond is presented as a child just doing what he loves but in a healthy way that is not “overly sexual” or “provocative,”  in a manner that is “age appropriate.”

    But at gay bars where your phone’s recording devices are disabled upon entry, 11-year-old Desmond’s parents have him dancing around on stage in a tank top while grown men hoot, holler, and throw money.

    According to my watch, the Second Coming is already ten minutes late.

    Somebody try to explain why this kind of thing should not be treated as child abuse, grooming a victim, sexual exploitation of a child and some form of child pornography.

  • Navy Veteran Commits $830,000 in Disability Fraud

    John Cicero Hughes inflated his disability in order to maximize what he received from the VA and Social Security.

    From the Army Times:

    HELENA, Mont. — A 46-year-old Columbia Falls man has admitted overstating his disabilities to receive government payments for nine years.

    The U.S. Attorney’s Office says it will seek $830,000 in restitution from John Cicero Hughes, a Navy veteran who pleaded guilty Dec. 12 to theft of government money and Social Security disability fraud. Sentencing is set for April 12.

    Prosecutors say the VA found Hughes was 100 percent disabled in 2009 after confirming his multiple sclerosis diagnosis. He said he could walk only a few steps, had no feeling in his left arm and leg and couldn’t care for himself. He received about $8,400 in benefits each month.

    Investigators discovered Hughes drove himself to the VA in Helena in January 2018, walked around a grocery store using a cane and used both hands while gambling at a Helena casino.

  • 2 Florida women arrested after stealing service dog from Vietnam vet with PTSD

    Monique Cosser, 51, and Jennifer Gotschall, 53

    Police have identified two Florida women accused of nabbing a service dog from a Vietnam veteran last month.

    The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call on Oct. 28 that a Pomeranian service dog had disappeared without a trace. Its owner: a 67-year-old Vietnam veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Surveillance video shows one woman starting an altercation with the victim, while the other comes from behind, unleashes the dog, named Kira, and walks off with her, according to a press release from the sheriff’s office.

    Jennifer Gotschall, 53, and Monique Cosser, 51, were identified Wednesday after a tip to police from a “concerned citizen” led them to the pair. Kira was also recovered “in good health,” police say.

    The victim, who has not been identified, was in Old Town with his two Pomeranian service dogs at the time of the incident.

    Gotschall and Cosser have been charged with grand theft, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years’ incarceration. Officials said they are thought to have been released on bond.

    Book ’em Danno. Scum like this needs to be put under the jail.

  • Meantime, for you gun nutz:

    I am not hoplophobic!

    This one is for you gun nutz, happening in New York (probably NYC) now.

    https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/11/daniel-zimmerman/coming-to-an-anti-gun-state-near-you-ny-pols-want-social-media-checks-before-buying-guns/

    From the article:

    “Two New York lawmakers are working to draft a bill that would propose a social media check before a gun purchase.

    But it’s OK. They only want to look at the last three years of your online activity.

    Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and state Sen. Kevin Palmer’s proposal would allow authorities to review three years of social media history and one year of internet search history of any person seeking to purchase a firearm.” – Article

    And don’t think it will stop there, either, because it won’t. Note the use of the word ‘hoplophobic’. You could have a T-shirt printed with “I am not hoplophobic” printed on it, just to confuse people. When asked about it, you could either answer it truthfully (not afraid of guns) or just say you had the vaccination for it.

    Aside from the ‘invasion of privacy’ part, it’s also a violation of the 1st Amendment’s ‘right of free speech’ phrase to be that invasive. If you act like an ass on social media, well, you are definitely an ass but that does not mean you should be denied your rights over it.  Nor does posting stupid remarks, such as ‘he ought to be shot/boiled in oil/made to do something idiotic’ make you a threat to society. There is a wide difference between venting your anger about some injustice, and making real threats of violence.

    While I’d like to see some dimwitted not-funny comedienne who likes to frighten small children with severed heads spend some time in the cooler, it’s better to ostracize someone like that than it is to deny basic rights that we all take for granted to someone, even if that someone is a colossal social moron.

    “Don’t think this will stop in New York, even if these two can’t manage to get their little brainstorm signed into law. How long will it take Daddy Bloombucks and his hoplophobic harridans to get signature collectors out on the streets and fund the initiative campaigns to get something like this on the 2020 ballot in California or Washington State?” – Article

    Read the rest of the article. It is both a hoot and a ‘yank your chain to wake you’ effort. You cannot afford to take anything for granted any more. This news shows just how desperate this bunch of control freaks are to deprive you of your basic Constitutional rights.

    I’ll stick to my guns (snort!) on this and say that while my state may have the most mingy, cringingly stringent laws on gun ownership, the reason the Deerfield, IL, mayor was defeated in her attempt to illegally seize personally-owned guns from residents was that they had universally obeyed state laws, were well within their rights in owning them, and she violated both state law and the federal law – 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution – when she did that without warning.

    That whole business about sanctuary counties for gun owners doesn’t look quite so ridiculous now, does it? How about sanctuary states?

    If you missed my advice yesterday, I said “GO VOTE!!” Then you can go to your local gun shop and stock up on ammo and hold the Lapua briefly in your arms.

  • Chutzpah? Yep. PTSD? Not So Much.

    Yeah, PTSD is real. And some people really are screwed up bigtime from it.

    But I have my doubts whether all PTSD claims are on the up-an-up. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out a large fraction are BS, either totally or in part.

    Why? Well, if the multiple doubtful cases previously presented here at TAH weren’t enough – here’s yet another reason.

    Short version: a guy named Michael Pecka from Fairport, NY, claimed to suffer from “PTSD”. He claimed it was due to “witnessing” and “helping investigate” two suicides while serving in Kuwait during 2004-2005. The experience supposedly left Pecka “traumatized,” and he filed disability claims with the VA twice on that basis, in 2011 and 2014.

    The VA granted Pecka compensation for his “PTSD” – to the tune of $3,000+ monthly. He eventually collected about $92,000 in tax-free VA disability compensation.

    Yeah, the words in quotes above are in quotes for a reason. When the VA OIG investigated Pecka’s case in detail, they found he didn’t witness either suicide or help with any investigations. Hell, he wasn’t even in the same country at the time one of the suicides occurred (the suicide in question occurred IVO Fort Drum while Pecka was deployed to Kuwait).

    Oh, and did I mention that Pecka had the gall to file the first of his claims with the VA while in prison on unrelated bank fraud charges? Color me “shocked, shocked” to find out that a convicted fraudster would attempt yet another fraud.

    Pecka recently pleaded guilty to making a false claim in connection with his VA disability application. He’s now facing a maximum possible sentence of 5 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. He’s to be sentenced in Jan 2019.

    You can read more about the case in this article. Personally, I hope the judge gives this lying a-hole the absolute max sentence (and fine) allowed. I also hope the judge orders Pecka to pay restitution.

    We give the VA grief when they screw up. But here, the VA figured out that they were dealing with a Pecka-head sh!tbag – and nailed him to the wall.

    Kudos, VA OIG. Hopefully, this is just a start. Perhaps perusing this site’s archives would be helpful in the way of leads.
