No, this isn’t about height-challenged Brits. Sorry, just had to throw that out there.<\/p>\n

New “lawful orders” wrinkle – new billboard financed by Defiance.org and Whistleblower Aid, urge troops to “Only Obey Lawful Orders”.<\/p>\n

Public-facing campaign materials describe the effort as a joint initiative combining billboards with posters and digital outreach and pointing servicemembers to a web portal for guidance and referrals.<\/p>\n

A separate report describing the Florida rollout states the billboards were placed near MacDill Air Force Base and near installations in\/near Doral.\u00a0Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The campaign says service members should consult legal guidance if they feel orders cross the line of legality (which is a right they already have anyway.) In and of itself, this just repeats the Code of Conduct and UCMJ. I do, however, expect that at least a few Snuffies may decide on their own to disobey uncomfortable<\/em> orders because they think<\/em> they can, rather than should. Might prove to be a poor decision. The article has more info on the folks behind the campaign.<\/p>\n

More Minnesota daycare news. One of the day-cares was broken into, vandalized,\u00a0 and its records stolen.<\/p>\n

\n

A Somali-run daycare in Minneapolis was broken into and vandalized, with “important documentation,” including records related to employees and children at the daycare, being reported missing.<\/p>\n

The break-in occurred as a national spotlight continues to shine on Minneapolis and daycare facilities run by Somali immigrants in the wake of massive fraud allegations.<\/p>\n

Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nokomis Day Care Center, told reporters Tuesday that the facility was broken into overnight Wednesday. He believes the incident occurred between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.\u00a0\u00a0Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

‘Cuz there is NOTHING on the stolen-goods market paying any higher\u00a0 than hot day-care records.<\/p>\n

Yet another underseas cable has damaged by a “neutral” vessel dragging its anchor off Finland. This time, though, authorities were johnny-on-the-spot.<\/p>\n

\n

Finnish police said in a statement that the vessel suspected of causing the damage was found with its anchor chain lowered into the sea in Finland\u2019s waters, while the damage site itself was in Estonia\u2019s waters. The police later named the vessel as the Fitburg, a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines flagged cargo ship.<\/p>\n

The Finnish National Police Commissioner Ilkka Koskim\u00e4ki said at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon that all 14 members of the ship\u2019s crew have been detained, adding that the crew are citizens of Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The damaged cable runs between Helsinki and Talinn, Estonia. The ship had just sailed from St. Petersburg, Russia. Authorities boarded with<\/p>\n

Finnish media reported that the ship was seized by special forces police and the coast guard from helicopters.\u00a0\u00a0CNN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s close on a high note, so to speak.<\/p>\n

Dominic Critelli says he feels like playing his sax is like a fountain of youth. Me, I wouldn’t argue with a\u00a0 WWII veteran who has the chops to perform the Star Spangled Banner at an NHL hockey game – at the age of 104.<\/p>\n

Decked out in a custom-made blue and orange Islanders jersey with No. 104 sewn on the sleeves and back, Critelli took a seat near the boards, with a stand and sheet music in front of him. Proudly wearing a World War II Veteran baseball cap, Critelli wet his lips and began playing the National Anthem on his beloved sax. As he approached the end and the \u201chome of the brave\u201d portion of the song, Critelli hit a long, drawn-out high note, proving those 104-year-old lungs are still strong and healthy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, over 17,000 fans gave him a standing ovation. And his Islanders won, beating the Rangers 2-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
