  • Numbah 10 GI! (Or Maybe 11 or 12 or . . . . )

    Well, that didn’t take too long. Apparently I’ve been “identified” once again by a member or members of a certain Dense, Royally Clueless grupo de cochinos.

    But wonder-of-wonders, behold!  This time around I’m not an ex-Navy SEAL.  In the words of the late Red Foxx character Fred Sanford: “This is the big one, Elizabeth! I’m comin’ to join ya!”

    Well, no – not really.  I’ve seen enough abject idiocy on the part of Dieses Pack von Schwein-Hunde that I don’t think their foolishness could possibly surprise me enough to do more than raise my eyebrows a bit, then laugh.  There’s no way it would shock me enough to cause heart palpitations.

    But this time, they’ve taken a new tack.  Instead of identifying me as being a true BAMF SEAL/SF guy/Diver, this time they say I’m a published author – and a Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn Law School.  On top of that, I was also apparently a very famous individual’s personal lawyer many years ago.

    I’ll spare the guy any further grief by not mentioning his name here.

    I can’t decide whether I should be flattered or annoyed by this newest misidentification, though.  Previously our “friends” apparently sat around fapping and moaning to pictures of bona fide badasses until they picked one to identify as me – call it the “DRC Ouija Board Method”.  This time, they instead chose someone brilliant enough to be both a law professor and the personal lawyer for a renowned celebrity.

    Does the complement regarding intellect make up for the fact that they’ve given up using the DRC Ouija Board Method and didn’t misidentify me as yet another true BAMF?  I’ll have to think about that for a while.  But either way, I guess it’s really kinda flattering.

    Anyway:  you think I’d remember all of that stuff they claim I did.  But for some reason, I . . . don’t.

    Maybe it’s because other than the occasional articles Jonn lets me contribute gratis here TAH, I’m not an author.  I’ve also never set foot in Brooklyn Law School – much less taught there. Further, I’ve also never had the pleasure of meeting the celebrity in question (who is now deceased), so I hardly think I was ever their personal lawyer.

    Finally, this latest DRC mental misfire regarding who I am has me graduating from college and afterwards serving in the Army during the freaking Eisenhower Administration, shortly after the Korean War.  Um, no  – I can assure you I wasn’t.  I’m no longer a youngster – but I’m not in my 80s, either.  And I’m pretty sure I’d remember serving under Eisenhower as CINC if that happened, too.

    It seems to me like I just didn’t do any of that stuff.  And guess what?  That’s because I didn’t.

    In short:  these cork-shucking manure-for-brains jerks are 100% wrong on their latest “identification”.

    Again.

    For at least the tenth damn time.

    Here’s the recap:  according to the DRC, previously I’ve been a multi-star Army GO; a TAH reader using a different screen name; four different former Navy SEALs; a SF SGM; a serving Army officer; and a Navy Diver.  (If you’re curious, see this prior article for more details.)  This time around I’m a vet who served during the Eisenhower Administration – and who was later a law professor, author, and a deceased celebrity’s personal lawyer.  And I’m sure I’ve missed one or two somewhere along the way.

    Yo, DRC:  (flip) here’s a quarter.  Go buy a yourselves clue; you need one badly.  You damn sure don’t have one at present.

     

  • Yer Friday Funny: “Here is a better photo that one is terrible.”

    We all know criminals usually aren’t the proverbial “sharpest knife in the drawer”.  But every once in a while, you see some idiocy involving a criminal that makes you say, “YGBSM!!”

    Take the case of Donald “Chip” Pugh, 45.

    Pugh was facing charges of drunk driving in Lima, OH.  He failed to appear at a scheduled court hearing on 28 December, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

    Apparently the Lima PD also publicized his mugshot online.  And that didn’t sit well with Pugh.

    So he took a selfie – and sent it to the Lima PD for their use as a replacement mugshot – accompanied by a rather narcissistic message.  I quoted his message above in the title of this article.

    Well, as the old saying goes: he “really shouldn’t oughta done that.”  His sending that “replacement mugshot selfie” made the news.

    Apparently social media tips and/or other information generated by his sending that photo to the Lima, Ohio, PD allowed LE to locate him.  Pugh was arrested in Century, Florida earlier this week.

    Sheesh.  What a freaking moron.

  • Another Fine Example of the DRC’s Investigative “Skills”

    Well, a little birdie tells me I’ve finally been outed – in the DRC’s addled minds, of course.  Reportedly they yet again think they’ve “identified Hondo”.

    Apparently that group of Dumb, Royally Clueless tools thinks I am yet another ex-Navy SEAL.  This time, I’m supposedly someone named “Hershel Bento Davis”.

    They appear to mean MCPO Hershel Bento Davis, USN (Ret).  What I’ve been able to find indicates that while serving in the Navy MCPO Davis was Command Master Chief of Underwater Demolition Team 11, Underwater Demolition Team 12, SEAL Team 5, Naval Special Warfare Group 1, and Naval Special Warfare Unit 8.  He reputedly served in Vietnam.  Sounds like one helluva guy.

    Hmm.  I think I’ve finally figured out their method.  Looks to me like the DRC gathers together and sits around in their skivvies, looking at pictures of true BAMFs (and in this context that acronym does not stand for “Bold, Adventurous Males and Females”), getting seriously “excited” and fapping furiously, until one picture really catches their collective fancy.  Then they apparently decide, “That must be Hondo,” and PRESTO! – another bogus identification is born.

    Must be the DRC version of a Ouija board.  Hey, whatever “floats their boat”.

    This is at least the fifth Navy vet and 4th ex-SEAL (first SCPO Don Shipley, then CAPT Larry Baily, followed by a guy I’m intentionally not naming  and now MCPO Hershel Davis) they’ve erroneously identified as me. They’ve also erroneously identified a multi-star Army GO, a retired SF SGM, another longtime commenter here at TAH, a retired Navy diver (last month – I was kinda busy and didn’t write about that one), and a serving Army officer as me.

    Now, I guess I should be flattered once again by this DRC asininity.  Most if not all of the group of guys the DRC has misidentified as being me certainly qualify in my book as veritable BAMFs.  (All of them could well be true BAMFs, but I don’t know enough about a couple of them to say one way or another.)

    That makes at least 9 people to date they’ve claimed were me – all erroneously.  Yo, DRC:  get your feces consolidated, will ya?

    None of the DRC IDs have been correct, of course; those imbecile dipsticks don’t have a clue.  I keep telling them I’m not a former Navy SEAL and never served in the Navy.  Yet they keep ignoring that and misidentifying former Navy personnel as being me.

    I’ve previously publicly wondered whether these fools have the common sense to urinate in the commode vice the trash can when they go to the head.  I’m beginning now to believe they’re simply not smart enough to comprehend the difference between the two.  Based on what I’ve seen from them I’d be surprised if they could find their own butts using both hands and a mirror – even with detailed instructions and on-site coaching.

    Still, I’ll try once more to get through to these DRC bozos.

    Hey, DRC.  Listen up, you bunch of moronic cork-shuckers:  you’re wrong yet again.  As I’ve told you many times before, I’m not a former SEAL or ex-Navy.  This is at least the 9th time you’ve been spectacularly wrong regarding who I am – and probably the 10th or 11th, since I’m reasonably certain I’ve missed one or two other bogus “identifications”.

    All you’re doing here is showing your collective asses to the world.  Please cover them – they’re ugly, and offend damn near everyone.

    Just do everyone a favor and STFU.  Permanently.

  • So . . . We’re Screening Refugees “Thoroughly”, Eh?

    So the       gang of feckless fools and clueless tools running the show in DC today      current Administration tells us. Well, then, “Riddle me this, Batman – how did this happen””?

    Yep, you guessed it:  both of those “fine fellows” were reportedly admitted to the US as “refugees” from the Middle East.  In fact, one of them came via Syria – in 2012.  Hell, one of the two reportedly went back to the ME and fought for ISIS after coming to the US as a “refugee” – then freaking returned to the US after doing so.

    Both are now currently facing Federal charges related to supporting terrorism.

    But don’t worry.  We’re screening those Syrian refugees coming here today “thoroughly”.   According to the      mouthpiece for the clown krewe in charge      current Administration’s spokesman, Josh Earnest, “No one’s allowed to short-circuit this system.”

    Yeah, right.  You believe that BS, and I’ll make you a great deal on a bridge.

  • More Idiocy from the Pinheads at PETA

    Well the fools at PETA have been at it again, clogging up the courts with idiocy. And this latest one is a real winner.

    They went to US court over the copyright rights for a photograph.  The international copyright was owned by a British photographer.  He’d left his camera unattended while visiting Indonesia’s Sulawesi Island, and some monkey managed to take a “selfie” with it.  The photo is now quite famous.

    PETA went to court and requested the copyright rights be reassigned.  They wanted the copyright rights reassigned to the monkey.  And they wanted PETA to be allowed to administer those copyrights “on behalf of the monkey”.

    Yep, you read that right.  They wanted the legal copyright rights – and thus any income derived from same – to be assigned to a freaking monkey.  And they actually went to court to try and make that happen.

    In a refreshing display of common sense, the judge essentially – in polite, legal language – told PETA to go pound sand.

    Sheesh.  These imbeciles should be required to have an escort any time they’re walking around in public, for their own protection and that of others.

  • Deserea Hopkins; How the Grinch stole Valor

    Deserea Hopkins; How the Grinch stole Valor

    Deserea Hopkins with SSG rank

    During the holidays people in general like to read heartwarming stories about people overcoming hardships and tragedies. The same goes for reporters and writers when there is a chance to capture one on paper. So when a Soldier, Staff Sergeant Deserea Hopkins, was willing to talk about being home for Christmas for the first time in three years due to deployments, it did not take much for this story to go viral in the internet age.

    “I’ve been on two deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. We actually had to go and kick down doors do all the dirty work. Go make arrests. I really just missed my family, mainly,” Hopkins said.

    “The military was my life; that’s all I know, but I’m more than happy to be a single mom to my kids,” she added.

    Hopkins’ kids stayed with her grandparents while she was away. This will be her first Christmas with her three-year-old son, Paiden. But, her six-year-old daughter Precious remembers the Christmases without her mom.

    Except that the story was not exactly true as the good people at Guardians of Valor are happy to show. Lots of good things in there; entry level separation,arrest records and the standard abuse of AR-670-1 seen by most posers.

    According to our friends at GoV;

    Official US Army Response:

    Rank: Private.

    Home of Record: Mount Pleasant, Texas.

    Service: October-December 2011.

    Entry level discharge at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

    No MOS and no awards.

    But the real victim here is her six year old child who was quoted in the story.

    Hopkins’ kids stayed with her grandparents while she was away. This will be her first Christmas with her three-year-old son, Paiden. But, her six-year-old daughter Precious remembers the Christmases without her mom.
    “It’s sad ’cause I love my mom so much,” she said.
    “She’s excited; she’s like ‘Mom are you gonna go?’ and I’m like ‘No, I’m here,’” Hopkins said.
    But Precious knew what her mom was doing.
    “She told me when she was a soldier and would protect everybody,” Precious said.

    I mean, having to explain to your kid that you are a fraud and a liar is going to be fun. But what will be worse is having to hear it as a kid from your mother. But stolen valor is just a victimless crime, right?

    This sounds like a promising candidate for the new stolen valor act that Texas has recently approved this year.

    UPDATE: December 29th 2015

    KLTV has updated their story to reflect with what information we already know.

  • Laissez le bon temps économique à rouler. Par la suite. Peut-être.

    Well, we have some more economic “good news”, courtesy of those       feckless fools and naive tools calling the shots in DC these days       savants managing the US government and economy.  We have a revision to last quarter’s GDP growth figures.

    A downward revision.

    Federal economists now estimate that the US economy grew at an annual growth rate of 2% during the period July through September 2015.  Since the current quarter is looking about the same, we’re looking at an average growth for the US economy of around 2.2% for the year.

    Moreover, this will be the 10th straight year that US economic growth has been below 3% for the year.  That means it will be the longest period of sustained slow growth since World War II.

    I don’t think I really need to tell anyone who’s been running the show in DC for the last 7 of those years – or which party had the majority in both houses of Congress in 2007 and 2008.

    But wait, there’s more!

    The US labor participation rate last month was 62.5% .  That’s lower than all but two months since October 1977 – which was back during Jimmy “Clueless” Carter’s “wonderful stewardship” of the US economy.  And those two months that had a lower US labor participation rate?  Those would be September and October of this year, where the labor participation rate clocked in at 62.4%.

    We’ve now seen the US labor participation rate at below 63% for 20 consecutive months.  You have to go back to the Ford Administration and the post-Vietnam/post-Watergate economic slowdown to see that.

    But we must be on the verge of something.  The current Administration has raised taxes, and is raising interest rates – things known to retard economic growth.  That should certainly keep things from overheating, economically-speaking.  Gotta make sure that growth doesn’t spiral out of control!

    Yeah, as a nation we’re just doing “oh so well” economically.  Thanks for “letting the good times roll”, Mr. President.
