University of Memphis helps families of fallen service members
Excerpt: The University of Memphis now offers free tuition to the families of fallen or disabled service members. Right on the heels of Memorial Day, the University of Memphis has provided some positive news. As a veteran, I understand how difficult the military life is not only for the member, but their family. The military is an inherently dangerous profession and the loss of a military family member can come in an instant. This can cause financial difficulties, especially when surviving family members want to attend college.

Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman’s Lawyer Demands CNN Retract Story Accusing Actor of Sexual Harassment
Read the story and get the details of what a woman claimed was sexual harassment by Morgan Freeman. This is so far out that it should get into record books for blatant idiocy, and they really should sue this woman for malicious damage. Yeah, it's great and long, long over due that Harvey Weinstein and other victimizers are getting their uppance and that kind of behavior is now well known to be utterly unacceptable. But when the search for nasty men gets into levels like this, it's time to dial back the fervor. --Del
Iran
Surprise: Watchdog Group Discovers Secret Iranian Missile Site Hidden in Remote Desert Location
Gee, it seems that the Iranians aren't exactly all the way into the spirit of the deal on nukes and missiles to deliver them. Who could ever have thought such a thing could happen? I mean, how could they possibly betray the trust we put in them? (Alternatively, how could anyone be dense enough to trust them for anything?) --Del
Syria
Itinerants and pawns.An unwanted population trying to survive an unstoppable conflagration, Syrians face forced relocation and deadly dangers
SYRIA: We received new eyewitness reports that Turkish forces who carried out a spring offensive in Afrin, a border enclave inside Syria, forced tens of thousands of Christians and Yazidis to flee, while their homes and other areas have been taken over by members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which includes ex-ISIS militants. This is the latest example of “fighting terrorists” used as a cover for ethnic and religious cleansing. Earlier I reported on the casualties from FSA fighting with Turkish forces in Afrin. The latest report says 3,000 Christians have fled except for two families with sick and wounded who are in hiding. More than 35,000 Yazidis throughout the region have fled. All have had homes looted. One Christian woman reportedly was killed by FSA members.
Below is a photo of a child killed, caught in crossfire between militants. And the Church of the Good Shepherd in Afrin, also below, was burned and graffitied with names of militant groups that now claim it. Globe Trot by Mindy Belz.

Random Thoughts for June
Random Thoughts for June,
2018.
By Robert A. Hall
Feel free to post or forward.
It was a short spring. We went from
coat to light jacket to shirt sleeve in about ten days.
I don’t know if my problems are
being caused by the Illuminati, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Vast
Right-Wing Conspiracy, or the Knights Templar. But surely they can’t be my
fault!
Defeat follows leaders who say,
“Don’t worry about that. It can’t be done,” only to find the opposition has
done it.
Many people seem to need someone or
some circumstance to blame for their misfortunes. And they will find that
person/circumstance regardless of any connection to reality.
Few things are as annoying as
finding a neat new way to do something and discovering everybody else already
knows it.
When someone dies, people say,
“Heaven gained a new angel.” I’m religious, but I have trouble seeing myself as
an angel.
If you don’t want to consider facts
that are contrary to your world view, just label the source as far right or far
left and forget it.
Every nation seems to need a
minority to oppress and revile. In Muslim countries it is Jews, Christians, and
Sunni or Shia Muslims (and other sects), depending who is in the minority. In
much of Asia it is the “Overseas Chinese.” In Africa, the people of the other
tribe. In the US it has been blacks, Indians, Asians, and Hispanics. Currently
it is straight, Christian white males who believe in the family, the work
ethic, limited government, free enterprise, free markets and the constitution
including free speech and the right to protect your family. (And dead
Confederates, though that isn’t as satisfying as they are dead and there aren’t
enough monuments and graveyards to go around.) We just have to wait. It will
eventually be another group. I’m hoping for university professors and
“journalists.”
A weatherman who said something
non-PC on the air would be fired immediately. But I’ve never heard of one being
fired for making a wrong weather report.
I saw a young woman with “wild and
reckless” on her tee shirt. That these are now considered character traits to
brag about says some about our society.
I’m thinking of opening the “Amish
liquor store and bar.” Think that would get any blowback? Polygamy Porter is
still going strong in Utah I believe.
“It is useless for the sheep to
pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism if the wolf remains of a of a
different opinion.” –William Inge.
If it doesn’t smell bad, it doesn’t
matter what the sell-by date says.
I suppose it’s good they banned
napalm. Now more of the enemy will survive to kill America’s sons and
daughters. But it won’t be the kids of the elites demanding it be banned; those
folks never serve. Not Trump, not Obama, Not Clinton. Or their kids.
If the world wasn’t full of
disorganized procrastinators, I wouldn’t have made such a good living.
Be thankful for thrift stores like
Goodwill. Otherwise I’d be running around naked, and nobody wants to see that!
The price of people feeling good
about themselves is always paid by others. They wouldn’t pay it. When I was a
state senator in the 1970s, I blocked divestment of the Commonwealth’s pension
funds from companies doing business with South Africa. Not because I had any
brief for South Africa or apartheid, but because of the cost to taxpayers. It
passed after I left. My floor leader called me to tell me I was right. The
Commonwealth took something like a $20m hit (a lot in 1983), but the taxpayers
never knew who to blame as it was spread around.
You say “fat shaming” is bad? I do
it every day! I get on the scale and it says 170. I say, “You fat,
undisciplined pig, it should be under 160.”
When we moved to Madison, WI the
city was populated by dozens of fiberglass cows, all painted by local
“artists.” Some were nice, but many were hideous. Now we have about 80
fiberglass Bucky Badgers, the UW mascot, spread around town, all painted by
local artists…
If kids get a cookie, or a
different meal or a toy every time they want one, they will grow up to be
entitled jerks, who get petulant and nasty anytime the world doesn’t give them
what they want. And the parents will wonder why they turned out that way.
Funny how Michele Obama was off
limits to media criticism and mockery but Melania Trump is fair game almost
every day.
One of the pernicious effects of
gargantuan government and limitless budgets that few talk about is that it
leaves Washington afloat in easy money, thus government corrupts almost
everyone who touches it.
Today
is Edna Frankel day. We celebrate because she is the only person ever to have
read the terms and conditions on a website before clicking yes.
We all
suffer from the pernicious effect of ego and ambition on government, the
military and civilian organizations.
Because something sounds profound doesn't suggest that it
means anything.
Young
people talk about sex, cars and things from pop culture. Old people talk about
their health.
I have
to use eye drops because I have high pressure in my eyes. I don’t know if this
is from the drugs I’m on for my lung transplant. Or just one of those gifts God
gives you to make old age interesting.
I said, “God, I think I’m getting
senile.” God said, “Getting?”
My friend Marty taught me never to
disparage a compliment. Someone says, “Good job,” and you say, “Well, I got
lucky.” It disparages the person giving the compliment as well. The proper
response to a compliment is, “Thank you.”
It’s easier for many people just to
accept a religious or political belief as true than to do any critical
thinking.
Saw a tee shirt at the VA: “I’m
emotionally constipated. I haven’t given a shit in years.”
I wonder if Canadians would feel
differently about Israel if the US was lobbing rockets across the border every
day. Or sending in suicide squads to murder Canadians.
I read that Iran is threatening to
expose western officials who took bribes to support the Iran nuke deal. I
double-dog dare them. Bring it on.
The media feeds off school
shooting, because they increase sales and ad revenues. And the wall to wall
coverage encourage more shootings, so the cycle continues. The worst school
disaster in US history was the “Bath Massacre” in 1927 Michigan. Thirty-eight
kids and six adults were killed. 58 others were injured. By bombs, not guns.
But we didn’t have TV, the Internet and 24-hour news.
Back when I lived in NJ, my
step-daughter was over. I was chastising her, probably over not finishing
college or having a FT job. She said, “Bob, I’m only 26. What were you doing at
26?” I replied, “I had served four years in the Marines including Vietnam,
earned AA & BA degrees and been elected to the Massachusetts Senate.” End
of conversation.
I wonder if the Asian-Americans who
poured hate on Keziah Daum, who is not Chinese, for
wearing a cheongsam to her prom, eat with chopsticks every meal or have they
“culturally-appropriated” forks and knives from those with European heritage?
Isn’t
a black cast performing “Hamilton” cultural appropriation from Europeans?
“There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual
could believe them.” ― George Orwell.
If you believe, “Different strokes
for different folks,” maybe you shouldn’t try out for a rowing team.
"The idea of conquest was central to the Sultanate,
intricately interwoven with its holder's position as leader of the Muslim
world. ... Only spectacular conquests could legitimize a sultan." Roger
Crowley, Empires of the Sea.
Man is the only animal that picks up after itself. Well,
some of them do.
Both the right and the left have facts that are allowed, and
facts that are not allowed.
Civilization has been described as “a thin crust over a
volcano.” Progressives are determined to peel away that crust in the name of “social
justice.” They, too, will be engulfed by the eruption.
“Most people with low self-esteem have earned it.” -George
Carlin
The constitution and those who defend it is all that is keeping
our people from a Stalinist hell imposed by the Progressive nomenklatura. All for our own good, of
course.
Just because a banana has bad spots doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy
the good parts. Just because your life has bad spots doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy
the good parts.

Walls for me, but not for thee
COMMENTARY: On Democrats, walls and voter ID
Excerpt: Liberal Democrats are hypocrites. Guess who lives inside the protected walls of Anthem Country Club? Harry Reid. You know, your former U.S. senator. The former chief water carrier for President Barack Obama, who spent his entire Senate career fighting viciously against a wall. Harry argued walls were terrible and unnecessary. Harry could have retired anywhere in Vegas — or anywhere in America, for that matter. But he chose to live behind the walls … and gates … and armed guards of Anthem Country Club. Harry is my neighbor. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Rules for a Happy Life
The Rules for a
Long and Happy Life
Robert
A. Hall
The
most important ingredient of a long, happy and successful life is
self-discipline.
You
also need to develop resilience and tenacity. Without these three things, your
life will likely be poor, short, and unhappy. I received them in Marine Corps
Boot Camp, Parris Island, in 1964. If you lack the fortitude or foresight to
serve in the military, you need to get them someplace else.
Discipline yourself to maintain a normal weight. Obesity is the
second largest cause of premature death.
Discipline yourself to get regular exercise. You’ll feel better
and live longer.
The
most valuable thing you can own is a good reputation.
Take
responsibility for your actions.
Stop
whining, complaining and criticizing. No one will want to be around you.
Stop
blaming others. The person who is responsible for over 90% of your problems you
see in the mirror every morning.
Always
give more than expected. Always do more than your share.
If
you once tell a major lie, no one will fully trust you again. If you regularly
tell lies, no one will believe you even when you tell the truth. The same thing
if you steal.
Don’t use recreational drugs. And use alcohol in moderation or
not at all. Addiction always leads to poverty, broken families, ruined lives
and often to an early grave.
Don’t smoke or use tobacco. On average smokers die ten years before
non-smokers. It is the largest cause of premature death.
Get enough sleep. Most people need eight to nine hours. But
don’t waste the whole day in bed.
Be slow to take offense, and never on little things, especially
those involving taste.
Be slow to anger and quick to forgive.
Everyone has bad days, but don’t inflict them on others. Greet
everyone you meet with a cheery hello. Even if they don’t return the greeting, you’ll feel better.
Don’t walk around studying your smart phone (or at mealtimes if
you are with other people). You’ll miss communicating with the real people you
meet, you’ll miss seeing the world around you, and you might become a statistic—pedestrian
deaths have tripled, due mostly to inattention.
Be very careful in choosing the person you marry. It can bring
you many years of happiness or many years of misery.
Get
your hands dirty. Many worthwhile things—Fixing a car, gardening, cleaning a
weapon, baking—require it.
Do
the disagreeable tasks first. Procrastinators suffer twice. Once in the agony
of anticipating the task, and again when they are forced to do it.
Here’s
your all-purpose job description or school, for work and for life. “Whatever
needs to be done.”
Be
the most reliable person you know. Under-promise and over-perform.
Be
kind. It makes the world a better place and makes you happier.
Be
punctual. If you’re not 15 minutes early, you’re late. People who are
chronically late are saying, “My time is valuable, yours is not.”
Banish
“It’s not my job” and “We’ve always done it that way” from your lips.
If you behave in a meretricious manner do not complain if people
treat you as a meretricious person.
Every day, life presents us with choices between what we should
do and what we want to do. Do the “Should Dos” first 90% of the time. People
who always do what they want first have sad, poor and unhappy lives.
Don’t always live in the “Now.” You may not believe it,
but tomorrow always comes.
Plan for the future. Yes, people, circumstances and plans
change, but at least you will have thought about it.
People change as much between 18 and 28 as they do between eight
and 18. But few 18-year-olds realize this. Which leads them to make bad
decisions.
Doing things for others is more rewarding than doing things for
yourself.
Happy people always care about something larger than themselves.
It might be family, job, church, community, country or the US Marines. Often it
is several things.
Pick up after yourself daily. You will live in cleaner, neater
surroundings and if you leave it for later, it will become an overwhelming job.
If you were born in the United States, or in fact in any of the
capitalist democracies in the west, you won the lottery. The free market system
has given the mass of people here by far the highest standard of living in
history and in the world today. Of course, many people don’t take advantage of
it. But if you want something besides capitalism, throw away all those consumer
goods—smart phones, computers, cars and so on—that were inventions and produced
under capitalism, and move to a country where socialism has given people a good
life.
Be
slow to borrow and quick to repay.
Be slow to lend. You will find there are people who will
convince themselves that they deserved the money and will become sullen and
hostile if asked to pay it back. You expect gratitude and you get attitude.
Be
slow to take offense. Those people who are “perpetually offended” are a trial
to everyone around them and are usually deeply unhappy.
If a couple is having problems, having a baby will not make
those problems vanish and bring them closer together. Usually it will make them
worse.
Large tattoos and face piercings do not make a person more
attractive.
I can’t tell you what to believe, but according to many studies,
people who believe in God are happier, because it gives their life meaning.
Studies also show that people in small towns are happier than
people in cities.
Everything
needs maintenance, cars, homes, people. Maintenance is time consuming and
costly. But if you don’t do it, it will be more time consuming and costly in
the future. Tomorrow always comes.
Ranting
and raving rarely changes the person’s behavior or the situation for the
better.
Make
your bed every day. It instills discipline and you’ll feel better about your surroundings.
“Thank
you” and “Please” are not old fashioned, out of date, or constructs of the
patriarchy. They are the essential grease that reduces friction and makes
civilization work.
Learn
to say, “I’m sorry. It was my fault.”
If
you punish people for giving you their honest opinions, you will be surrounded
by “yes-men” and will have no warning of approaching disasters.
“Needs”
and “Wants” are not the same things.
Read
at least two books a month (I read three to five). Reading well and widely is
highly correlated with success.
You
are not entitled to anything paid for by money other people earned working. Be
grateful for anything you get.
Respect
must be earned. It cannot be given.
Some
people are poor because of circumstances, like illness or accident. But in
America most people are poor because they made bad decisions. There are four
rules if you don’t want to be poor: 1. Don’t marry until you have the education
or training for a career. 2. Don’t have babies before you are married, in a
stable, financially-secure relationship. 3. Get a job, even a bad one, and work
full-time until you get a better one. 4. Don’t get addicted to drugs or
alcohol.
Every
time you get in a car, you are at risk of dying. But if you follow four rules,
you can reduce your chance of being killed in an accident by about 90%. 1.
Always wear your seat belt. 2. Don’t speed. 3. Don’t drive if you’re are
impaired by alcohol, drugs or fatigue. 4. Don’t drive distracted by a phone or
other device. (And don’t ride with a driver who violates these rules.) One or
more of these factors are involved in almost every fatal crash.
That’s
it. Having a happy life is really simple, but it’s hard to discipline yourself
to follow these rules. Look at the many unhappy people you know and see if you
think they did.

It’s Time to Impeach the President
It’s Time to Impeach the President
Excerpt: However, it’s not President Trump I’m talking about. It’s time to impeach former President Barack Obama. And of course, prosecute him too. Many are starting to come to this conclusion. Tom Fitton, the legal genius behind Judicial Watch (the number one government watchdog in America), has come to the same conclusion. Fitton said this week that amidst a climate of impeachment fervor, the actual evidence points to Obama’s actions warranting impeachment far more than Trump. Fitton reports that ordering surveillance and sending spies into the Trump presidential campaign are all grounds for post-Presidency impeachment and more importantly, prosecution. None other than greatly respected former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said this week, “I guarantee the answer is yes” as to whether Obama knew the FBI had planted spies into the Trump campaign. He says no FBI Director would dare infiltrate a presidential campaign without the direct approval and authorization of the sitting president.

Book Recommendation: Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Sowell
Another
must-read book from Thomas Sowell. This short (126 page) volume should be
required reading to run for office, any office, and for government policy
makers. Alas, those who need it most probably won’t read it. And, as Sowell
points out, humans have a great ability to ignore facts to preserve their
preferred visions. Sowell grew up in a poor black family in NC, was supporting himself
by the age of 17, and worked his way to a PhD in economics. Thus, he is unafraid
to research and write about racial issues that would get a white academics
drummed off campus and is unafraid to discuss uncomfortable facts. He has dozens
of books in print. His “Basic Economics” is used as a text book around the world,
having been translated into several languages. In this book, he destroys both
the hard left’s view that disparities in outcomes are always caused by
discrimination and the alt-right’s view that they are caused by a lack of capability
in minority populations. He reports, for example, that the same black students
who are failing in regular public schools are excelling in many charter
schools. His discussion of the “income gap” between the top 20% and the lowest
20% is particularly interesting. The media acts as if people stayed in the same
quintile all their lives. He reports that 95% of the people who were at one time
in the bottom group rise out of it, while a great many people are in the top
20% only a few years. I started out in the bottom, making $38 a week when I was
elected to the Massachusetts Senate, and $12k there the first year. For the
last ten years of my 31-year career as an association executive, I was in the
top 20%. But when I retired due to pulmonary fibrosis to have a lung
transplant, we fell out of it. I now make $24,000 a year working PT. If you
read only one book this year, this should be it.

New FBI Data on Active Shooters Shows the Importance of Armed Citizens
New FBI Data on Active Shooters Shows the Importance of Armed Citizens
Excerpt: As I wrote right after the Santa Fe school massacre, the best explanation for the rise in active shooters is the least comforting. That explanation comes from Malcolm Gladwell in a seminal 2015 essay for the New Yorker. In essence, we are in the midst of a slow-motion “riot” of mass shootings, with each shooting lowering the threshold for the next. Any sophisticated approach to a problem involves discussing potential solutions both left of boom (before the shooting) and right of boom (after the shooting starts). Gun control is a classic left-of-boom approach, designed to prevent attacks before they can happen. Even Gladwell is skeptical of its effectiveness. While he’s said that gun control “has its place,” he also says, “Let’s not kid ourselves that if we passed the strictest gun control in the world that we would end this particular kind of behavior.” In fact, as the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler found in a now-famous fact check, no recent mass shooting would have been prevented by any of the conventional gun restrictions progressives often propose. ... How do shootings end? The most common ways are exactly what you’d expect: The shooters kill themselves or flee, or the police exchange gunfire with the shooter and/or apprehend him. But a surprising amount of the time, citizens stop the killer, and an increasing percentage of those citizens are armed. From 2000 to 2013, only five times did an armed citizen (who was not a police officer) exchange fire with the shooter. Three times the citizen killed the shooter, once the shooter committed suicide, and once the shooter was wounded. Fast forward to 2016–2017. In that time period, six armed citizens confronted active shooters. They stopped the shooting four times (in one case, the shooter fled to a different site and continued shooting, and in the other the armed citizen was wounded before he could stop the shooting). The lesson? Armed citizens can make a difference, and as more Americans obtain carry permits, more Americans will be on-scene and able to react. Moreover, what’s missing from the data is any indication that armed citizens make the crisis worse. The stereotype of carry-permit holders spraying panicked gunfire is simply wrong.

Another Gun Control Debate
Would You Ever Agree to Be a Teenager Again? By Jim Geraghty
Excerpt: We’re going to do this again, huh? Another debate about gun control after a mass shooting? We still have to debate gun control, even after the shooter built functioning bombs? After he used weapons that no federal official, including Dianne Feinstein, wants to prohibit? I notice that school shooters rarely have lived lives of terrible abuse and deprivation, the sort of experiences that make you think, “oh, good heavens, well, no wonder that person finally snapped.” When their tales are told, the portraits of their life reveal mundane problems — loneliness, bullying, social isolation and alienation; an attraction to a girl that isn’t reciprocated. Those are all deeply unpleasant experiences, but they’re also extremely common among teenagers. Raise your hand if you were never bullied. Raise your hand if you never felt like an outsider or a loser. Raise your hand if you’ve never been rejected or turned down by someone you liked. Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Historic Ahmadi mosque demolished by mob in Pakistan
Excerpt: A mob in Pakistan tore down a historic mosque belonging to the country's Ahmadi community on Thursday, in the latest act of violence against the minority Muslim sect. The attack took place in the eastern Pakistani city of Sialkot, with videos showing Sunni extremists tearing down the place of worship. No worshippers are believed to have been in the mosque at the time of the attack.
