OK, Florida DRC Members: You Want to See Hondo? Here Ya Go. Directions.
Well, it looks like our “Favorite Florida Friends” (or maybe that should be those “Florida Flying F**ksticks”) have kept running their yaps. So I thought I’d finally tell them where to go. (smile)

Once again, this group of Dufi Royally Clueless have accused someone else of being me. And this time, I’m both honored – and a bit peeved. Again.

Now, I’m supposedly CAPT Larry Bailey, USN, Ret. Yeah, THAT CAPT Larry Bailey.

That would be an honor. Except I’m (a) not a former SEAL, (b) was never in the Navy; (c) have never been to sea, (d) have never been on an active Navy ship (though I have been on more than one Naval base, and I did visit a USCG Museum ship), and (e) left the service almost to 20 years after CAPT Bailey did. So I guess I can’t be CAPT Bailey.

Are you guys for real? So far, this makes 2 former and well-known Navy SEALs, a former Army GO, a serving Army CPT (or maybe by now MAJ), and a retired Special Forces SGM of being me – along with probably some others I don’t remember or missed. And you’ve been wrong every freaking time.

But you know, I’ve about had it with this crap. So here goes.

Listen up, you bunch of dipstick imbeciles who don’t seem to have the common sense to urinate in the bathroom’s toilet instead of the waste basket. You want to see Hondo? Fine. I’ll help you out.

Put away your comic books, and put your crayons back in their box. Close your mouths, and remember breathe thru your noses instead of your mouths for a while. Wipe the drool off your chins. Sit down, and shut yer yaps.

Now, pay close attention. Here are your directions. Follow these without screwing up and they’ll take you right to Hondo.

No, these are not the shortest routes you could take. Instead, I tried to make these directions as simple as possible for each of you to follow. Lord knows you both have enough problems with even relatively simple concepts and actions.

I’ve also depended on each of you to find a major highway reasonably close to each of your current abodes – US Highway 17, to be precise. Hopefully you’re capable of doing that much by yourselves. Even though your addresses are matters of public record by virtue of your own past actions, I decided to respect your privacy (though not the two of you personally) and refrain from giving detailed directions starting at your driveways or mentioning your current towns.

Directions.

For ThE NoRtHeRn FlOrIdA GuY.
1. From your house, go to US Highway 17. It’s generally east of you – that means you need to go towards where the sun rises in the morning.
2. At US Highway 17, turn north. That probably will be a left turn unless you manage to cross over US Highway 17 and have to double back.
3. Follow US Highway 17 north until you reach Interstate Highway 295 south of Jacksonville. The “north” part is important, so don’t screw that up.
4. At Interstate Highway 295, take Interstate Highway 295 north towards Savannah. Do NOT take the on-ramp marked “St. Augustine”.
5. Follow Interstate Highway 295 to Interstate Highway 10.
6. At Interstate Highway 10, take Interstate Highway 10 west. That’s the ramp marked “Lake City”. Do NOT take the ramp marked “Jacksonville”.
7. Follow Interstate Highway 10 west to San Antonio, TX. It’s rather a long drive, so you might want to pack a lunch or two. Given your advanced age and general state of physical and mental decrepitude, you also might want to plan on stopping somewhere overnight. Your call.
8. Where Interstate Highway 10 and US Highway 90 split (that’s in the San Antonio metro area, at the interchange where you also meet Interstate Highway 35), stay on US Highway 90 west. Do NOT stay on Interstate Highway 10 or turn onto Interstate Highway 35.
9. Follow US Highway 90 for roughly another 39 miles.
For our other “FFF” – the one down in SW Florida – here are your directions, in italics.
1. Take local roads from your house to Interstate Highway 75. As was the case with your FFF colleague, it’s generally east of you – e.g., in the direction where the sun rises.
2. Get on Interstate Highway 75 north. That’s the ramp towards Sarasota and Tampa, in case you haven’t figured that out for yourself.
3. Follow Interstate Highway 75 north until you reach US Highway 17.
4. Take the exit for US Highway 17 and go north (the “north” part is important). To go north, I’m guessing you’ll need to turn right at the end of the ramp.
5. Follow US Highway 17 north until you reach Interstate Highway 295 south of Jacksonville.
6. At Interstate Highway 295, take Interstate Highway 295 north towards Savannah. Do NOT take the on-ramp marked “St. Augustine”.
7. Follow Interstate Highway 295 to Interstate Highway 10.
8. At Interstate Highway 10, take Interstate Highway 10 west. That’s the ramp marked “Lake City”. Do NOT take the ramp marked “Jacksonville”.
9. Follow Interstate Highway 10 west to San Antonio, TX. It’s rather a long drive, so you also might want to pack a lunch or two. Given your advanced age and even worse state of physical decrepitude than your north Florida “compadre”, you also might want to plan on stopping somewhere overnight as well. In fact, since your trip is substantially longer than your friend’s, I’d recommend stopping twice. But that’s your call.
10. Where Interstate Highway 10 and US Highway 90 split (that’s in the San Antonio metro area, at the interchange where you also meet Interstate Highway 35), stay on US Highway 90 west. Do NOT stay on Interstate Highway 10 or turn onto Interstate Highway 35.
11. Follow US Highway 90 for roughly another 39 miles.
In your case, there are shorter routes – but I chose this route for you in case you wanted to carpool with the northern FFF. Given my understanding that your past public assertions in court have stated that you are “disabled” and on “pain medication”, IMO that might be a really good idea.

I’m sure you can find out where the northern FFF lives if you try; in fact, I’m reasonably certain you two have probably corresponded with one another in the past. And if you two carpool, you’ll also have someone to keep each other company – even during any overnight stays. Perhaps you’ll both enjoy that aspect of carpooling. (smile)

At Your Destination.

Once you’ve completed the last step in your directions above, just find a convenient place to park. From there, unless you’re blind or you’ve screwed up, by following the above directions you should easily be able to see Hondo.

If you can’t, just ask anyone you see, “Excuse me, sir (or ma’am), where can I find Hondo?” If they appear Hispanic – and there’s a good chance they might – you might want to say, “Disculpe, señor, ¿dónde puedo encontrar Hondo?” instead. (If the individual is both Hispanic and female, say “Perdone, señora, , ¿dónde puedo encontrar Hondo?” instead.)

I’m sure anyone you ask will be quite eager to tell either or both of you exactly where you should go. Each of you IMO has such a “winning personality” that that’s virtually guaranteed. (smile)

Strip Maps.

I’ve tried to make the directions above as simple as possible. But just in case the above directions are too complicated for you – and you can’t find someone to explain them to you in terms you can understand – here are some pictures.

First, the “big picture”. For ease of viewing, I’ve broken it into eastern and western parts. I’ve also cropped the eastern part so that it doesn’t show the specific part of Florida where either of you live. As I noted above, you’ve both made your current addresses easy to find on the internet; in fact, it’s public record information in both cases. But as I alluded to earlier, I have no real reason to be an a-hole and post your addresses here – even if those addresses are already listed in Internet-accessible public records.

Here’s the eastern part of the “big picture”:

And here’s the western part of the “big picture”:

Finally, here’s a picture showing more details about the western end of those directions:

So, you fellas still want to see Hondo? Well, now you know how to get to Hondo. You even have detailed driving directions and strip maps.

Whether you choose to make a “road trip” or not is up to you. I don’t much give a sh!t either way.

Regardless, I don’t plan on holding my breath waiting. But if you do choose to use those directions, I also predict you won’t much like the results.

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.

Naughty, naughty!

A trans “female” customer with a baritone voice threw a tantrum in a Gamestop store at an employee for enforcing the store’s policy of ‘Store credit only – No refunds’.

https://www.christiandailyreporter.com/trans-gamestop-rage.html

Some enlightened soul got the video of the tantrum, including this jerkwad cursing in the presence of a juvenile, despite a female customer asking him to tone it down. S/He also cursed her.

12/29/2018 Albuquerque, New Mexico — A transgender GameStop customer who is a biological male but identifies as female flew into a minutes-long rage after being called “sir” by another customer who was politely asking him to stop cussing at the employee behind the counter because children were present in the store. – Article

When someone throws a screaming public tantrum like this, cursing at people who ask [h/im/er/it] to tone it down around kids, and all the other things that accompany this kind of uncalled-for rage, there is something wrong, and it is not with the onlookers or the recipients of that anger.

Tantrums thrown by toddlers are cute and funny. Tantrums thrown by people who are physically adults are not. Drill Instructors do a lot of yelling, but as long as they don’t have halitosis, s’okay. They aren’t throwing tantrums. (Where is SGT Hulka when you need him?)

Remember the bearded sales tramp in the vape shop throwing a screaming tantrum at a customer who wore a t-shirt with Trump printed on it? Same “generation”? There seems to be a lot of unreleased anger in these people. Perhaps sitting the zazen would help them.

In this case, since the “customer” was threatening the employee and damaged a display on h/is/er way out, the employee would be justified in asking h/im/er “Shall I call the police?”

After all, it’s not quite the same thing as being held up at gunpoint and loudly facing down the guy with the gun, is it? Especially if the guy with the gun runs away from you.

The video is embedded in the article. There is a ‘freeze Alaska’ ad, but you can click it off. Obviously, the – uh, customer has issues.

I could not tell whether or not Gamestop has a notice posted ‘No refunds – Store credit only’, but it would probably be a good idea to do that.

Viking Statue Toppled – Again

Photo from PhillyMag.

I don’t know what the vandals who do these things have against the Philadelphia statue of Thorfinn Karlsefni, a Viking who followed Leif Erickson’s trail into North America in AD 1004, but it seems as though every year in the fall, for about six years now, someone decides to pull down the bronze statue of him and throw it into the Schuykill River.

https://6abc.com/fate-of-viking-statue-uncertain-after-schuylkill-river-recovery/4389901/

Last year, the statue’s face was spray painted red and then it was dragged into the river. Since it’s a 1920 bronze casting, it isn’t a lightweight object. This time it was decorated with anti-Nazi language and the anarchy symbol.

https://www.phillymag.com/news/2018/10/02/viking-statue-boathouse-row/

Per the Philly Mag article, since this episode of vandalism preceded a Vikings/Eagles game, that may have had something to do with it this time. However, that connection was deemed slim by Philly police.

It’s also notable that a skinhead group meets nearby for their annual Leif Erickson celebration, and that they’ve clashed frequently with the Philly Antifas.

Remember those two Marines who were beaten by Antifas a couple of weeks ago? This vandalism took place around the same time as the vandalism event.

https://www.azuse.cloud/?p=83541&cpage=2

Probably the same bunch of useless schmucks, because frankly, people we used to call useless troublemakers have nothing else to do.

The response I have to these acts, since they take place under the cover of darkness and also seem to have a common theme, is that if these dweebs were faced with real Vikings, they’d wet themselves… copiously.

Anyone want to tangle with this skjaldmær? They were also called Valmeyjar, or battle maidens. It was not unusual for Viking women to choose to be shield maidens (skjaldmær).

In Old Norse, valkyrja, as well as Old English wælcyrge means literally, “chooser of the slain”. And the fighting was usually over waelstow reáfung (battle plunder) and breeding rights. But that’s a different part of Norse history and legend.

And then there were the Celts. You do know that some Celtic women trained the boys and men for battle and participated in fighting themselves, don’t you? You didn’t know that? Ah! Well, then….

Report: NJ Residents Are Not Surrendering ‘High Capacity’ Magazines to State Police

Standard Capacity Magazine
AWR Harkins

A report from Reason reveals not a single New Jersey resident has surrendered their “high capacity” magazines to state police since the implementation of the magazine ban.

Breitbart News reported that New Jersey’s “high capacity” magazine ban took effect December 11, 2018, making the mere possession of such a magazine a fourth degree felony.

At first, the New Jersey State Police refused to rule out door-to-door enforcement of the ban, then made clear that they had no plans to go house-to-house.

Don’ NEED no steeken magazine.

On December 15, 2018, former NYC police commissioner Bernard Kerik blasted the magazine ban because it also applies to off-duty police officers, too. In other words, off-duty officers cannot legally use magazines holding more than 10 rounds while off the clock.

Like New York, Maryland, and others, people are ignoring these unconstitutional, unenforceable laws.Read the rest of the article at: Breitbart News

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.

Blast From the Past: Gregory Charles Banks, the phony just passing through

This week’s BFTP spotlight goes to Gregory Charles Banks aka “Egregious Greg”. The original post is located here: Gregory Charles Banks, the phony just passing through which amassed over 829 comments, and a cool “Wanted” poster was also made for Gregory here: Wanted: Gregory Banks. Greg also made it to the Shitbag Sixteen during the 2014 Blue Falcon Stolen Valor Tournament. Just another phony with the response of “Who dat?” from the NPRC.

Jonn’s original post:

So one of our readers is a Mason up in Connecticut and this dude passes through his lodge on the way back from his combat assignments. Sometimes he’s in ACUs, other times he’s wearing his blues, like in the picture above. Of course, he’s Special Forces (isn’t everyone, these days) and in addition to his duties as an Army officer, he’s also a counselor with two offices. The man is a freakin’ machine.

Well, he didn’t turn up in any of my databases, but, you know, he’s probably so secret squirrel that he wouldn’t, but CID can’t find him either. Nor can NPRC;

We’re told that his lodge just threw him a big celebration for his recent award of the Bronze Star Medal so obviously, he loves attention – so here is all of the attention you could ever want, Greg-baby. It looks to me like he stole a midget’s jacket.

Added; more pics;

I emailed these pictures to our counselor friend, Greg Charles Banks and asked if these are not him in the photos, and he hasn’t answered back. I guess he’s going with “identity theft” as an explanation.

OK, I just got an email from him and he admits that this is him in this picture taken at the lodge not wearing the uniform;

I don’t know, you judge.

Rocket launcher returned as part of Baltimore gun buyback

By Tal Axelrod

A rocket launcher was one of over a thousand weapons that have been collected as part of Baltimore’s gun buyback program.

Three buyback events have been held thus far, with the first two yielding 1,089 firearms. The weapons include 509 handguns, 273 rifles, 245 shotguns and a rocket launcher, for which the city paid $500, according to The Baltimore Sun.

This way to the egress.
This started out as an FGS for Thursday, but I just couldn’t stop snickering and here it is. The rest of this, ahh, article may be scoffed at here: The Hill.
