    (CNSNews.com) – The Internal Revenue Service had in its weapons inventory 4,487 guns and 5,062,006 rounds of ammunition as of late 2017, according to a report published this month by the Government Accountability Office.

    Included in this arsenal, according to the GAO, were 15 “fully automatic firearms” and 56,000 rounds of ammunition for those fully automatic firearms.

    The same report–“Federal Law Enforcement: Purchases and Inventory Controls of Firearms, Ammuntion, and Tactical Equipment”–says that the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services had 194 fully automatic firearms and 386,952 rounds of ammunition for those fully automatic firearms.

    “The term ‘fully automatic’ used in this report,” says a footnote in the report, “encompasses a range of firearms classified as machine guns, including submachine guns, three round burst guns, and guns with a selector switch that can enable continuous fire.”

    The guns in the IRS inventory also included 3,302 pistols, 623 shotguns, 543 rifles, and 4 revolvers.

    The ammunition stockpiled by the IRS—in addition to the 56,000 rounds for its fully automatic firearms–included 3,156,046 pistol and revolver rounds, 368,592 shotgun rounds and 1,481,368 rifle rounds.

    The IRS’s firearms and ammunition are used primarily by its Criminal Investigation (CI) unit, which is manned by 2,148 federal law enforcement officers. But some of it is also used by the IRS’s Police Officer Section, which includes only 9 federal law enforcement officers.

    “IRS’ Criminal Investigation serves the American public by investigating potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code and related financial crimes in compliance with the law,” the GAO explained in the report it published this month.

    “IRS’ Police Officer Section,” said the report, “provides protection for the people, property and processes of its Enterprise Computing Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia, which houses 10 of IRS’ 19 critical tax processing functions.”

  • 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.

  • I Object to PERVs

    Vegetable have feelings, too!

    I vehemently object to the existence of PERVs, people eating raw vegetables. This abomination and utter cruelty in the form of peeling, slicing, dicing, shredding and in some cases, puréeing raw vegetables without their knowledge or consent must stop! Their smugness when they declare their vegetariansim and genuflect to carrots and cucumbers in the produce aisles is an affront to all that is good and tasty and makes a nice salade verte with Roquefort cheese crumbles.

    Chomping on a helpless radish, tail and all, after dipping it in salt or ranch dressing, is an obscenity, never mind what happens to celery! Think of the poor celery stalk, unable to release itself from its roots, forced to wait until the Kitchen Aid slicer/dicer thingy has a go at it, and all for the sake of a pathetically selfish dish called Waldorf salad. Pity the poor raisins and nuts stuck in that mess with celery, grapes and diced apples, too, awash in mayonnaise, unable to even take a faint breath! These raw fruits and vegetables are condemned to wait for the final solution – mastication at the dinner table by uncaring, self-involved PERVs.

    The horror!

    A little sympathy is due the humble potato, too. Forced to await its doom in a bag with other potatoes, all sizes and all colors, with no sympathy or understanding for those root shoots starting to grow through the airholes in the bags! Skinned, quartered and dumped into boiling salted water, only to be turned into mashed potatoes, and drowned in thick, creamy gravy that accompanies a beef or pork roast, the humble potato awaits it fate at the hands of PERVs. But not to worry: potatoes are frequently thrust into a hot oven, removed, sliced open and squeezed while cheese, chives, and bacon crumbles are dumped on them! They are also subjected to being sliced, diced, shredded, and turned into long sticks, plunged into a vat of boiling fat from which they can only escape when the fry basket is pulled. Then the fried potatoes must endure being inspected for doneness, and if done to a turn and as crisp as an October morning, turfed out onto a cold plate to accompany a double cheeseburger with everything, extra pickles, onions, and ketchup on the side. And this grisly, greasy abomination is all for the sake of filling the stomachs of PERVs!

    Did no one ever think to ask the potato “What would you like to do today”? A little sympathy is in order, isn’t it?

    Be aware that the humble tomato, ripped untimely from its leafy vine, sent directly to a cold shower on a conveyor belt, with no choice in its destination, faces an even more uncertain fate. The tomato, being the flexible vegetable that it is, may be stewed and canned, cooked down into pasta sauce with basil, garlic, olive oil and salt, sliced into layers to fill the void in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich with even more mayonnaise, or simply sliced or diced for a green salad with cucumbers, baby zucchini, green onions, radishes, and bell peppers, all of which are likewise given no choice in the matter of dressing, whether it is a stylish ranch dressing or a lemon juice and olive oil dressing, and must await their fate on a salad plate.

    Even the humble rutabaga may fear the stew pot, after it is peeled, chopped and plunged into the gravy of the stew. The PERVs show no mercy in this regard.

    And this is all for the sake of filling the fancies and stomachs of PERVs.

    May PERVs rot from the root!

  • Monday Musings Open Thread

    Chicago CBS Local-Olimpia Warsaw has Diabetes and Parkinson’s.

    Since this is the beginning of the work week for many, here’s a musing regarding a porter’s abandoning a disabled woman… When his shift ended.

    A disabled 67-year-old woman was left at the Chicago O’Hare overnight this past weekend. One of her family brought her up to the gate. He checked that the flight was going to go as scheduled, and that his mother would be helped.

    Then, the flight was canceled. They sent her to where alternative arrangements could be made for her. The plan was to put her up in a hotel. But, nobody wanted to take her to her assigned hotel.

    Additionally, the porter that was assigned to assist her stopped helping her when his shift ended. He “didn’t know how”, so, he called it quits for the night. Ask for help from airline/airport employees maybe?

    From CBS Chicago:

    They said in addition to losing her bags on the way in, the airline had lost track of her on the way out.

    Eventually, security helped family find her hours after. Images shortly after she was discovered show her still in a wheelchair, dressed for her ex-husband’s funeral.

    Claude Coltea said his mother was let down by both the airline and the porter.

    “All we wanted was someone to pause and say ‘you know what, can we just make sure this human being is safe and then we can all go home,” Coltea said. “Not one person did that.”

    For those who know someone in the family with similar ailments as the abandoned woman, this would be a jaw dropper. It’d raise emotions, not good ones either.

    Normally, individuals in this situation stand a good chance of being eligible for home therapy to include nurse visits, would require independent living supports, etc.

    In my area, there’s the equivalent to the Child Protective Services for adults in her situation… Adult Protective Services.

    This woman was left “stranded”; until her family’s efforts to locate her paid off.

  • Army Officer Insults Air Force Officer-Gets Banned From Twitter-Guest Post by JAGC

    Guest post by JAGC follows.

    F&$cknuckles. That “word” is the source for the latest controversy in military-oriented social media circles. Apparently, a company commander at Fort Benning got into a Twitter tiff with an Air Force officer. One thing led to another and “f$&knuckles” happened. The Army captain ultimately got banned from Twitter. Online mourning ensued.

    Now, I’m not a social media guy. But I recently completed two books and a literary agent advised me to start using Twitter. Soon, I was introduced to a world of anonymous military members–mostly staff officers–who apparently post on Twitter All. The. Time. It’s amazing anything gets done.

    To be fair, their snark is well placed. It’s a good mix of male and female Soldiers with a wide array of experience and knowledge. There’s everything from military historians to PAOs. And of course the Fort Benning company commander of f$&knuckles fame. Their pointed (and numerous) observations of military life is mostly spot on. I’ve even learned some things about military history. They’re also kind of funny.

    Which brings me back to CPT f$&knuckles. I believe the online argument started over another officer’s vaguely controversial critique of an unnamed NCO. Soon, the venerable Army WTF! Moments picked up on things. And since this is Twitter and the military, you know there’s a barracks lawyer somewhere in this story. Well, the barracks lawyer shows up and issues a strongly worded (and super wrong) assessment about a UCMJ violation. That only escalated the online tension, such as it was.

    With digital blood pressure boiling, the Air Force guy ranted about something. The Army Captain retorted in kind. The Air Force guy got even angrier. So the Army Captain called the Air Force guy “f$&knuckles.” Air Force guy reported him to the Twitter police. Bam! Banned from Twitter. An anonymous LTC even broke the news.

    Why should any of us care about this? We shouldn’t. It’s stupid.

    But on Twitter, this is thing. The mildly-offended military Twitter masses argue that Twitter is being extremely hypocritical and wrong. Indeed, Nazis and all sorts of shady creatures’ inflammatory remarks are allowed to troll around on Twitter. There’s even apparently several guys with variations of the “f$&knuckle” moniker. Yet CPT f$&knuckles got banned. In that sense, their complaints have merit.

    But in the grander scheme, CPT f$&knuckles will probably just do what others do and start a new account. But is there a military bias with the people running Twitter? After all, the Captain got suspended for calling a guy “f$&knuckles” while there are stories abound of others purportedly wanting to “kill the Jews” getting to keep their accounts. Or perhaps the real question is, why do people keep using Twitter? Like quicksand, it looks innocuous enough. But once you step right into it, you’re stuck. And it makes people really angry. Why keep going back?

  • SEAL Murders ISIS fighter, Holds Ceremony on Scene

    In the PSYOP community, a joke goes around about how a PSYOP team could “Go rogue”. Psychological Operations teams are attached to units to provide PSYOP support to the unit’s commander. Not permanently assigned, they could fall though the cracks if they don’t keep engaged. Of course, this doesn’t involve violations of war crimes, laws, or regulations. The team just “does its own thing”. Not encouraged.

    What’s definitely frowned upon is going rogue with regards to violating the rules of land warfare. In this situation, we have a Navy SEAL who murdered an ISIS combatant, then conducted an enlistment ceremony in the area.

    Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher would’ve been eligible to retire, from active duty, next year. Instead, he’s looking at another future. From NBC San Diego:

    U.S. Navy prosecutors accuse Gallagher of premeditated murder for the stabbing death of an injured ISIS fighter who they estimate was about 15 years old.

    And

    On Wednesday, the Navy outlined its evidence including cell phone photos that show Gallagher holding the severed head of the fighter during a reenlistment ceremony.

    According to the article, Gallagher was ranked as number one SEAL chief, his platoon was also ranked as number one. He once had the option to either retire proudly, or continue his service facing better opportunities than others.

    Underneath the high praises; however, those who served with him associated him with poor judgement. This includes shooting into Iraqi civilians.

    The New York Times was graphic with its description:

    But now, less than a year later, Special Operations Chief Gallagher, 39, is locked in the brig, facing charges that during that same deployment — his eighth — he shot indiscriminately at civilians, killed a teenage Islamic State fighter with a handmade custom blade, and then performed his re-enlistment ceremony posing with the teenager’s bloody corpse in front of an American flag.

    Navy SEALs who were with him reported the things that he did, to include:

    * Being reckless
    * Being bloodthirsty
    * Firing into crowds of noncombatants
    * Shooting a walking girl
    * Shooting an old man
    * Threatening to kill those that intended to report these events

    It got to the point that his own team members messed with his weapon’s accuracy. They also benefited civilians with warning shoots to give them a chance to escape. His actions took away from efforts needed to engage the enemy.

  • Parris Island first sergeant to face hearing over $1.5 million razor theft

    Parris Island first sergeant to face hearing over $1.5 million razor theft

    A Marine first sergeant previously stationed at the Corps’ recruit depot aboard Parris Island, South Carolina, will face a preliminary military hearing over his alleged involvement in a razor blade theft ring.

    The first sergeant was named by his initials in an Oct. 10 indictment that purported the Marine noncommissioned officer conspired with three Defense Department civilian employees, working at the recruit store and warehouse at the depot, to steal nearly $1.5 million in Gillette razors.

    I had no idea there was that kind of money in the Gillette business.  Maybe all of this could be avoided if they just have recruits join the Dollar Shave Club. 

    Parris Island has a store that sells razor blades at a discount price to recruits aboard the depot.

    The Parris Island razor blade racket was detailed in a federal indictment:

    Chambers allegedly had approached Brutus “and asked her to steal boxes of high-end Gillette razors, razor blades and other items” from the recruit store, according to the indictment.

    Brutus then allegedly introduced two other employees, Harrison and Byson, to Chambers to help steal the razors.

    Harrison and Byson allegedly were able to steal boxes of the razors from the warehouse on a weekly basis and avoided detection by evading or disabling the security cameras, according to the indictment.

    The stolen merchandise allegedly was delivered in person to Chambers until he was transferred in March 2018 to Florida. The razor blades were then transported via U.S. Postal Service.

    Chambers allegedly would sell the blades and split up the proceeds through wire transfer from his Navy Federal Credit Union account.

    The Post and Courier reported that the use of the postal service may have caused the scheme to come apart when Chambers called about the status of boxes containing 720 packages of Gillette blades that were sent to New York.

    Federal Investigators then found wire transfers to one of the DoD civilian employees, according to The Post and Courier.
