Let’s have a cheerful start to a new administration…and like all good vets, we start with a little schadenfreude. (Taking joy in the misfortunes of someone else, roughly.) You think WE have supply problems? Consider Poland’s\u00a0 former logistics Maj. Gen. Artur K?pczy?ski, who was fired January 9th. Seems he not only misplaced supplies, he lied on inventories and receipts about them. Yeah, stuff goes missing or is mis-shipped sometimes… but six months? Better, the inventory was anti-tank mines? Shipped to the wrong ammo depot? Even better, no – but to an IKEA warehouse.<\/p>\n

\n

In June 2024, a train carrying more than 1,000 tons of explosives was improperly unloaded by Polish troops, the report said, who mistakenly left the anti-tank mines to continue their rail-bound journey around the country until they were eventually offloaded in the furniture behemoth\u2019s warehouse.<\/p>\n

K?pczy?ski, meanwhile, reportedly kept the mishap from his superiors while furnishing subsequent supply reports that featured false numbers.<\/p>\n

That approach appeared to have worked \u2014 at least until an Ikea warehouse representative telephoned military officials and inquired about \u201cwhen they would collect their mines,\u201d according to one report.\u00a0 Military Times<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whether he will face further punishment is not determined. Sure hope someone at NSA is still rolling on the floor after hearing THAT call. Could have been worse…someone could have tried to open those crates with a hammer.<\/p>\n

Hat tip to Jeff LPH for this one!<\/p>\n

Quick update – those Assumption University students who targeted a serviceman in a pseudo “Want to Catch a Predator” trap were arraigned, and unsurprisingly pled Not Guilty to conspiracy and kidnapping charges. It is now known the servicemember is an Army soldier, currently stationed in the Middle East. Seems he was just trying to find some sympathetic company after his grandmother’s funeral, and was sitting on a couch watching TV with the honey trap<\/del> girl involved.<\/p>\n

A “mass” of 25 to 30 people emerged just minutes after the victim met Brainard, calling him a “pedophile” who “liked having sex with 17-year-old girls.” Before he was surrounded, the victim was sitting beside Brainard watching a game in a student lounge, and surveillance footage showed that they had “ample personal space between them,” and Brainard was “laughing and smiling.”<\/p>\n

Surveillance footage showed the group encircling the victim and preventing him from leaving around 10:30 p.m., police wrote. The victim was able to break free, but he was chased by the “crowd that can clearly be seen using their phones to record the pursuit.”\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a perfect world, that would mean loads of photo evidence to expel 25-30 students…but you know that isn’t gonna happen. Kidnapping, however, is serious… and Federal. Hopefully these charges stick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And… just so show Democrats gotta Democrat, at least in Congress:<\/p>\n

\n

More than 140 Democrats voted against a House bill to deport illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The legislation passed along bipartisan lines in a 274 to 145 vote. All present Republicans supported the bill, while the opposition was all made up of Democratic lawmakers.<\/p>\n

In addition to deporting immigrants convicted of sex crimes, the legislation would also deem illegal immigrants who admit to domestic violence or sex-related charges \u2014 or are convicted of them \u2014 to be inadmissible in the U.S.<\/p>\n

However, Democrats argued the bill would harm domestic abuse victims who fight back against their partners and broaden the definition of domestic violence to the detriment of survivors.<\/p>\n

During debate on the bill Thursday morning, progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said the bill “does absolutely nothing to address the needs of the American people” and “widens the highway to Donald Trump\u2019s mass deportation plans.”<\/p>\n

Jayapal said it would “create a chilling effect for reporting future crimes” and “empower abusers to go after immigrant women and children.”<\/p>\n

Mace wrote on X during debate on the bill, “The Left justifying why they are against deporting r*pists, p*deophiles, and m*rderers who are here ILLEGALLY, never ceases to amaze me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How often does a sexual or domestic abuse sufferer get charged as the offender? Versus how many illegals have we seen charged with BEING abusers, kidnappers, rapists, etc? The anecdotal few do not cancel the problems caused by the\u00a0 many…and the many guilty need to go away, rapidly. Good, legal immigrants – doubt there is a reader here who opposes them (disclosure – my mother was a legal immigrant.) But the illegals who commit crimes? If Trump does nothing else, if he fast-tracks send them somewhere else (I still like via plane and a HANO drop) he will go down in history.<\/p>\n
