Update
From a political
activist who follows the Old Jarhead Blog
We are amazed at Bob' energy and focus in maintaining his
blog. It is an outstanding project that has made a great contribution to the
tide of opinion that created the great electoral victories of last November. (I
get from 4,000 to 7,000 page views a week, so this is perhaps too much credit.
but we must all do what we can. The Marines taught me that only cowards quit,
no matter how hopeless things look. You can't do everything, but you can do
something. ~Bob)
Hello my name is Jennifer Kenyon and my husband Justin is a
Marine. We had this photo taken with our son when he was only 2 weeks old. I
really wanted to share it with you because it's just a great picture! I was hoping maybe you could share it with
others by putting it in your newsletter or magazine. Thank you and have a great
holiday. --Jen Kenyon (From the great grunt.com e-newsletter. ~Bob)

up what makes Marines different. By Col. Daniel F. Bolger, USA

http://www.usmc81.com/2009/01/an-army-officer-sums-up-what-makes-marines-different/
Excerpt: Asking the question that misses the most
fundamental point about the United States Marine Corps. In the Marines,
everyone–sergeant, mechanic, cannoneer, supply man, clerk, aviator, cook–is a
rifleman first. The entire Corps, all 170,000 or so on the active rolls, plus
the reserves, are all infantry. All speak the language of the rifle and
bayonet, of muddy boots and long, hot marches. It’s never us and them, only us.
That is the secret of the Corps.”

we were looking at the final Q1 GDP print, we discovered something very
surprising: after the BEA had first reported that absent for Obamacare, Q1

have been negative in its first Q1 GDP report, subsequent GDP prints
imploded as a result of what is now believed to be the polar vortex. But the
real surprise was that the Obamacare boost was, in the final print, revised
massively lower to actually reduce GDP!

Worth Reading
Excerpt: In 1972, members of the Nation of Islam mosque led
by Louis Farrakhan ambushed four New
York policemen, badly wounding three officers and
murdering one. ... The officers ran into the building and up the stairs in
search of the injured policeman. Once all four were in the stairwell, the doors
behind them were slammed shut and bolted. At that moment, more than a dozen
black Muslims, shouting “Allahu Akbar!” charged down the stairs. The Muslims
kicked and dragged their trapped quarry to the bottom of the stairs and then
out into the vestibule where they beat, kicked and stomped the policemen to a
gruesome pulp. With all four officers on the ground and the vestibule awash in
blood, the Muslims managed to wrench service revolvers from two of the battered
officers. One of them shot Officer Phil Cardillo in the chest at point-blank
range.

Satire--too funny: ISIS
Having Difficulty Finding American Recruits Physically Fit For Jihad
Excerpt The thing is, we can’t inflict terror into the
hearts of the masses if our fighters are always doubled over red-faced and
winded.” Hamdani added that ISIS’ best course of action was to allow these
overweight, sedentary American operatives to continue burdening the U.S. health
care system in hopes of eventually bankrupting the nation.

VIDEO: Wife Beating
Rules for Muslims… Please Expose This
Excerpt: “If the husband wants to use beatings to treat his
wife, he must never do it in front of the children,” Mahmud said, according to
the translation from the Middle East Media Research Institute. “It must remain
between him and her.” How compassionate. And here I was thinking that Shariah
law was barbaric.
Excerpt: We’re facing the greatest national security threat
we have ever known and there is no coherent plan to battle the enemy. This
nation is so far behind the eight ball, the president and his minions won’t
even name the enemy, no less fight it. Name = Islam Even worse, those
in positions of power and influence misrepresent what the enemy stands for.
Like a pre-recorded announcement that just won’t stop, we are endlessly
subjected to the false refrain: Islam is a religion of peace. By Muslim lights,
we live in the Dar
al Harb, the territory of war, simply because we refuse to accept Islam. We
didn’t declare war, Mohammed did. (This writer has pulled out all the stops,
and while I am quite sure there are many Muslims living in this country who
don't want anything at all to do with what I refer to as fundamentalist Islam,
unfortunately there are those who are "true believers", and who as a
result do despise our entire way of life and are happy to talk a lot about
acting against it. FBI studies showed that the majority of mosques at the very
least distribute jihadist type literature, and that a serious fraction of
Muslim preachers are in sympathy with jihadist thinking, and even more are deep
haters of Israel .
We also know that some of the money that good Muslims contribute to various
special charities end up in the coffers of Al Queda. So while I don't
personally agree with the assumption that the writer makes that all Muslims are
haters of the West and dangerous, it doesn't matter if 40% or 60% or 90% of
Muslims are actually comparatively reasonable and peaceful. A relatively small
fraction of that population becoming fanatics and pushing the Islamist agenda
is as much a danger to this nation as the tiny bunch of Brownshirts was in the
end to Germany .
I do agree with at least some of the steps proposed below, but leave it to
everyone to read and make up their own minds about this. --Del )
A Terror Leader Worth
$3 Million Just Surrendered
Excerpt: The intelligence officer, who insisted on anonymity

Ismail Ahmed Hersi surrendered to Somali police in the Gedo region. The officer

its operatives were responsible for the Dec. 23 attack on a natural gas
pipeline that runs into Jordan .
The organization said the attack was retribution for Jordan 's
"participation in the war on the Islamic State" in Iraq and Syria .

US Islamist Expert:
NYPD Cop Killer Ismaaiyl Brinsley May Have Been Responding to ISIS Fatwa
(Video)
Excerpt: Andrew G. Bostom, professor of medicine at Brown University
“People are reluctant to even acknowledge that the man is a
professed Muslim and comes from a Muslim background… There were four high
profile attacks by Western Muslims against Western societies, specifically
targeting police, since the September 22nd fatwa by an important ISIS ideologue was posted online. And in that fatwa it
calls for attacks on westerners but it specifically targeted police.”
Excerpt: The major threat facing the West, does not lie in
the fact that it is primarily Muslims who are moving into Western countries and
supplanting the host country’s traditions with their own. The major threat
facing Western Europe and the US lies in the fact that Muslims are coming to
their country armed with Sharia
Law and their religious leaders plan to take over according to the
mandates of this governing doctrine.
