Happy 238th Birthday, Marines. And on Veterans Day, thanks
to all who served. The association I am retiring from presented me with the
President's Award Saturday, in absentia, as my health doesn't permit travel. In
addition to a taped acceptance from me, they had photos and info my USMC
service and a Marine color guard on stage. They sent me pictures--very moving.
Guess I did okay there. ~Bob
Ender's Game correction
In my movie review, I just noticed I referred to Robert A.
Heinlein's classic Starship Troopers
as Star Wars. Apparently, I had
a "senior moment"--which started about seven years ago. Tom Kratman,
the excellent writer of military science fiction and a blog reader tells me
there was a sequel to Ender's Game which
could account for the PC ending. ~Bob
No
One Joins the U. S.
Excerpt:
You join book clubs and garden clubs and bridge clubs and chess clubs and
cooking clubs and scrapbooking clubs and Boosters clubs and so on. But no one
joins the U. S. Marine Corps. It's just not that simple.

Walk-in Tricare help
centers may be cut in US, but would continue overseas
Excerpt: The Defense Department is weighing an option to
save money by closing Tricare customer service centers at stateside military
treatment facilities, where contractors provide face-to-face help with
questions on topics such as enrollment and claims processing, but stressed that
no changes are in the works at Tricare Service Centers overseas. The potential
closure of the centers, which serve hundreds of thousands of troops and their
families throughout the United
States , is part of a reorganization of DOD
health care administration into the new Defense Health Agency, intended to save
billions of dollars by increasing efficiency and reducing duplication of
services. But there’s been no final decision to close the U.S. help
centers, a defense official said Friday in an email.
Navy suspends
admirals' classified access amid 'Fat Leonard' bribery probe
excerpt: Two Navy admirals have
been put on leave and their access to classified material suspended while they
are investigated as part of a bribery case involving services
provided to U.S. ships in ports in the Asia-Pacific region, the Navy
announced Friday. Five people have already been charged: two Navy
commanders, a Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent and two foreign
businessmen. Vice Adm. Ted Branch,
director of Naval intelligence, and Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless, director of
intelligence operations, have been put on leave and their access to classified
material suspended, Navy spokesman Rear Adm. John F. Kirby announced in Washington .
Navy moles aided huge
fraud, officials say
Now, federal prosecutors say they finally figured out how
Leonard Glenn Francis — known in Navy circles as "Fat Leonard" for
his imposing girth — was able to dodge scrutiny for so long. They have accused
the Malaysian businessman of recruiting several high-placed moles in the Navy.
The informants allegedly leaked sensitive information about contracts as well
as closely guarded details about law-enforcement probes targeting Glenn Defense
Marine, enabling the company to bilk the U.S. government out of more
and more money as it fended off the investigations.
ANALYSIS: We’re going
backwards
Excerpt: From renewable energy mandates to anti-genetically
modified crop campaigns, extreme environmentalism and federal overreach
threaten to undo progress and turn the lights out for good…. Earlier this
year, Europe ’s top energy companies warned that European Union policies
favoring renewable energy production over fossil fuels
' border=0 v:shapes="_x0000_i1025">
could lead to blackouts across the
continent. … “The mandate on corn-based ethanol in particular has had
a devastating effect on the entire food economy from livestock and poultry
producers facing record feed costs, to food retailers facing record food costs,
to consumers here and abroad struggling to balance food budgets in tough
economic times,” reads a letter to Congress
from anti-hunger and environmental groups opposing the mandate. (All part of
the plan. Fewer people, fewer costs; hey, no ovens! --Barb)

IRS issued $4 billion
in fraudulent tax refunds, some going to addresses overseas
The Internal Revenue Service issued $4 billion in fraudulent
tax refunds last year to people using stolen identities, with some of the money
going to addresses in Bulgaria , Lithuania and Ireland ,
according to a Treasury report released Thursday. The IRS sent a total of
655 tax refunds to a single address in Lithuania ,
and 343 refunds went to a lone address in Shanghai . In the U.S. , more fraudulent returns went to Miami than any other
city. (Expect more of this with Obamacare fraud. --Barb. Sometimes you
wonder if those of us who don't cheat on our taxes are just stupi. ~Bob)

pursuit. Now the Comstock family is furious — and demanding answers. (Good quit

This is why Obama
gets away with what he does. By Sylvia Thompson
Excerpt: As a conservative black American who ignores the
concept of "self-muzzling" (translated "political
correctness"), I have been asked several times why it is that Barack Obama
and Eric Holder can do the unlawful, unjust things that they are doing. People
who ask me this are Caucasian Americans. I reply in all instances that these
men are lawless because white people allow them to be lawless. There are not
enough conservative blacks who oppose the Obama regime to make much of a
difference. In fact, there are not enough blacks in America (if we all opposed them) to
stop these men.
Barack Obama:
"We are Remaking the Courts"
http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/11/barack-obama-remaking-courts/
http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/11/barack-obama-remaking-courts/
Excerpt: What exactly does Obama mean about remaking the
courts? According to his own statements he is telling us how it is being
accomplished. It's been through nomination and confirmation. Seems legitimate,
right? The question is, what kind of judges is he nominating and why?
Red Alert! The Moral

Israel
Excerpt: Is Secretary of State John Kerry using the threat
of tougher European Union sanctions on Israel to press Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu into land concessions with the Palestinians? Kerry is in the
Israel
in an effort to advance negotiations between the Jewish state and the
Palestinian Authority. Last August, KleinOnline was first to report the Obama
administration is working behind the scenes in tandem with the EU’s boycott of
Israeli settlements, tying the seriousness of the EU’s future ban to Israel ’s
actions during current U.S.-brokered talks with the Palestinians, according to
a senior Palestinian negotiator.
Bus attacker in Norway
Excerpt: A man suspected of stabbing three people to death

seekers in the nearby town of Aardal .
(Norway

UC Berkeley Student
Government Bans Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’
Excerpt: The UC Berkeley student government has banned the
term “illegal immigrant” from its discourse, deeming the phrase racist,
offensive, unfair and derogatory. In an unanimous vote, student senators passed
a resolution that stated the word “illegal” is “racially charged,”
“dehumanizes” people, and contributes to “punitive and discriminatory actions
aimed primarily at immigrants (primarily at illegal immigrant. --JB) and
communities( No, just illegal immigrants. --JB) of color.”

A man’s home is his castle, except in Maryland. Man shoots intruder at 2am, gets
charged with murder
Excerpt: US Air Force Tech Sgt. Matt Pinkerton shot an
intruder in his home on September 13th just before 2am. That is not in
question. Yet somehow, in Maryland ,
where Castle Doctrine does not exist by statute but rather only by case law,
Sgt. Pinkerton is being charged with 2nd degree murder.
Move over Jimmy
Carter, Obama has my vote for worst president -- ever. By Michael Goodwin
Excerpt: America
has had some great presidents, many mediocre ones and a few bad ones. But we’ve
never had one like Barack Obama. He’s the first who thinks the job is beneath
him.
He’s the first who turns political give-and-take into a
crisis by refusing to negotiate with Congress. He’s the first who thinks the
way to more power is to inflict pain on ordinary people. (Nice summary of
things. And to really put the icing on the cake, Jimmy Carter recently
criticized Mr. Obama. Now THAT is something! --Del )
Muslims Pitch A Fit

Excerpt: A controversy has broken out at Washington
University in St. Louis over a Facebook photo apparently showing five students

Insurance
Regarding the alleged market filled with "bad
apple" insurance policies. Someone should point out to Dear Leader that
insurance is a heavily regulated industry. Indeed, every state has its own
regulatory scheme. Secretary Sebelius might have mentioned this to her boss, as
she was once Insurance Commissioner of Kansas .

VA sued for harassing
Christian chaplains: Military pastors ordered to stop quoting Bible, leave
Jesus at home
Excerpt: Two military chaplains are suing Eric Shinseki,
secretary of the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, or VA, for allegedly being
harassed and drummed out of a training and placement program because of their
Christian faith. (The behavior described is so far out there that it
beggars the imagination. Telling Christian preachers to never quote the Bible
and never mention their Savior is a kind of insanity. Where do they get these
secular fanatics from, and why in the world put one in charge of training
chaplains? I hope the lawsuit gets the VA bent way out of shape and this woman
becomes an unemployment statistic. --Del )
Excerpt: As Americans fighting open borders and globalism in
our own country, it can be instructive to see how people are doing it in other
Western countries. The New York Times just ran a piece entitled Right Wing's Surge in Europe Has The Establishment Rattled [By
Andrew Higgins, November 8, 2013]. The article, surprisingly evenhanded,
focuses on Denmark and
describes the growth of right wing parties in various countries of Europe .
Excerpt: I grew up in California
and the political landscape of the state was pretty well set back then. Most of
Southern California was solidly Republican, with the conservative Chandler family running
the Los Angeles Times and served as the mouthpiece for conservative thought. Northern
California was largely Democratic, driven by unionized dock workers in San Francisco . I lived in Central California , made up largely of farming
communities that leaned largely toward the conservative. Now, since the massive
illegal invasion into California ,
that state is wildly liberal Democratic with very small pockets of Republican
districts, most probably on their way to extinction within the next decade. I
now live in Arizona
and have become fascinated by the diverse polyglot of political preferences,
seemingly driven not by geographic area, nor even totally by demographics...at
least the way we have always looked at them.
