Yea...I can totally see that investigation going some place. They'd have to deal with pissed of Navy Seals or a pissed off Mad Dog. Have fun

There really should be appropriate disciplinary action. "Hey, you shouldn't have done that. Okay, now that that is taken care of, let's go to the O Club. I need to buy you a beer."

In your wildest jack and Jim induced imaginings try with all your own force of will, try to imagine back in the dustbin of history, say in October of 2016, imagine such an outcry for a sailor waving an obumble banner off the fantail of the uss harvey milk. Go ahead, I dare you. I'll wait................................................................that's what I thought.

In 2009, Barack Obama became POTUS and immediately flushed one trillion taxpayers dollars down the toilet, with no positive effect on our economy.

Before he even assumed office this year, Donald Trump was saving jobs in this nation, creating jobs in this nation, and bringing back jobs to this nation.
In stark contrast to the wholly unquaified incompetent radical America-hater, President Trump- on his very first day in office- saved the US $181 billion dollars.

And now, this:

To those people in this nation too stupid or blinded with hate to see what's happening, I feel sorry for you, because you are utterly clueless. Completely clueless.

Barack Obama never did anything even approaching this for the American people. He wouldn't do it, even if he had known how (which he most certainly does not), because he hates us.

And now, Barry, your "legacy" has been rejected and the new POTUS- our first actual president in 8 years- is undoing as much of your incompetent, America-hating shit as he can, as quickly as he can.

Just watching Tillerson's speech I didn't realize the State department had so many employees, the room was packed. Then he mentioned there were 75,000 of them, holy shit!

Foxnews this morning reported that in his last year, Obama dropped $9.2 BILLIONS on the UN, including hundreds of millions for anti-Israel groups with terrorist ties.

He needs to cut that shit out.

I saw it and I don't think it was inapprorpriate at all. He had just been introduced by Mark Burnett and was giving his good friend (and producer of Celebrity Apprentice) a gentle ribbing. Of course, that's not how the media is reporting it.

I just heard the snippet on the radio. Appropriate or not, it adds fuel to people's arguements that he's not a serious president.

If the news media want to run a clip out of context and portray him as unserious, screw them. I'm not going to play along. I don't remember the media characterizing Obama as unserious after he spent half his term on late night comedy shows or being interviewed by GloZell or hamming it up on Zach Galifianakis' show or giving 10 minutes of "shout outs" at all of his speeches. The rules have changed. The media just hasn't accepted it yet.

Consider the staff numbers at various embassies,consulate outposts, and passport offices around the world.....then add in the bloated chair bound bureaucracy (who thinks they know more than the people at the scene) in the main offices at Foggy Bottom.

I've been rereading a book I have read at least once a year for the last 35 years, Musahi's classic Go Rin No Sho. Somehow I suspect President Trump has read it a few times too.

just so we keep track of the enemy:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-h...e-forum-white-house/

Disney CEO Bob Iger , one of the few entertainment industry executives asked to attend President Donald Trump’s policy forum at the White House this week, has refused the invitation.

In December, President Trump described the policy forum being held at the White House as a meeting of “CEOs and business leaders who know what it takes to create jobs and drive economic growth.”

Bob Iger has been a long time Hillary Clinton supporter and contributed $400,000 to Clinton and other Democrats

****************
Remember Disney was one of the companies to fire hundreds of IT people and replace w foreign labor

not hard to identify the problem people
rioters stop Milo from talking
DEM senators don't attend committee hearings to vote on nominees
Schumer refused to meet w Gorsuch
Iger doesn't want to talk about creating jobs and economic growth

************************

some more enemies:

NBC’s corporate parent, Comcast, is joining the corporate backlash against President Donald Trump’s popular immigration reform, partly prodded by the company’s Indian-born Chief Technology Officer, Sree Kotay.

The company provided employers at its Philadelphia headquarters time off on Thursday to protest Trump’s popular policy, which is designed to reduce the inflow of costly refugees and to exclude migrants carrying “hostile attitudes.” Company protests were also expected in Washington D.C., New York and California.

Trump’s new policy seeks to exclude people who:

do not support the Constitution, or
those who would place violent ideologies over American law …
those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including “honor” killings, other forms of violence against women, or
the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or
those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Ignore completely, or bitch slap (metaphorically speaking) those who try and get traction with this crap everytime they open their yaps.

It always bothered me when the media turned a blind eye to anything that O-zero did or said that was anti-American and they fully accepted his socialist values. Why did the media refuse to report on O-zeros inadequacies? Why didn't the media give O-zero more scrutiny? What did the media have to gain by protecting O-zero, what do they have to gain by constantly reporting less than truthful stories about Trump? Where are their loyalties for a vibrant and strong United States?

Who are those who own the various media outlets? Will they ever accept a Trump Presidency?

Thank goodness the United States of America now has a real leader in the White house, President Trump.

Wow......A GS-12, Retired O5, walked into one of the Helicopter Wings here on base and ripped down a photo of the President off the Chain of Command Board.

A Chief Petty Officer saw him do it and said WTF are you doing. The GS-12 ran out the door and jumped in his car, The Chief followed him and chased him at a high rate of speed. Base Security saw them and pulled them over.

I'm thinking that there's a GS-12 position opening at NAS North Island soon

What is the race of this person?

I guess you cant even trust a pastor today....



FOX 32 NEWS - An Ohio pastor told FOX 32 that he "misspoke" at the White House. He created a national sensation by telling President Trump Wednesday that Chicago gang leaders would "lower the body count" if given new federal programs.

FOX 32: So, there are no gang leaders offering to reduce the body count in exchange for federal funds?
“No! I mean, c'mon now! (laughs) No!” Pastor Darrell Scott said.
Rev. Darrell Scott was laughing about it Wednesday night. A few hours earlier, though, the Cleveland Heights, Ohio, pastor told President Trump that Chicago’s "top gang thugs" wanted him to pass along a sensational offer.

“They're going to commit that if they lower the body count, we come and do some social programs,” Scott said.

“If they're not going to solve the problems, what you're doing is the right thing, then we're going to solve the problem for them. Because we're going to have to do something about Chicago. 'Cause what's happening in Chicago should not be happening in this country,” Trump responded.

"They want to work with this administration,” Scott added.

“Good,” Trump said.

“I’m tired of him trivializing this in these tweets and being this obsession with Chicago and doin' nothin,” Father Michael Pfleger said. “This is too serious to be making crazy comments at a White House black history celebration. This is an insult to Chicago.”
Father Pfleger urged the president to deliver on all his previous promises.

“This American carnage stops right here and stops right now,” Trump had previously said.

FOX 32 asked one of Chicago’s smartest anti-violence crusaders what he would tell the president if he were invited to the White House.

“I’d tell him that we can't just look in one area. When you look at public safety, it's linked to public health. It’s linked to education. It’s linked to a whole number of things. It’s linked to jobs,” said Christopher Mallette, Executive Director of Chicago Violence Reduction Strategy.

“Before we start talking about creating jobs, before we start talking about all these other things, before we implement them, we need to reduce that body count,” Pastor Scott told FOX 32.

Pastor Darrell Scott also told FOX 32 a lack of sleep caused him to tell President Trump that Chicago gangs had offered to "lower the body count." He said he actually spoke to one former gang member, and not to any gang leaders.

A good, concise speech.

As an aside, did you notice, at the start of the video, the mold stains creeping down the walls from the ceilings?

Trump administration imposes new Iran sanctions over missile tests

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...r-missile-tests.html

The Trump administration imposed new sanctions Friday on nearly two-dozen individuals and companies in response to Iran’s recent missile tests, quickly moving to increase the pressure on the regime after putting Tehran “on notice” earlier this week.

The U.S. Navy also moved a destroyer into position off the coast of Yemen, amid deep concerns over Iran’s support for Shiite rebels there who recently attacked a Saudi naval vessel.

"Iran's continued support for terrorism and development of its ballistic missile program poses a threat to the region, to our partners worldwide and to the United States," John E. Smith, the Treasury Department's acting sanctions chief, said in a statement.

The Treasury Department announced the additional sanction targets -- 13 individuals and 12 companies -- late Friday morning.

Those targeted include various agents, companies and associates involved in procuring ballistic missile technology for Iran. The named Iranian, Lebanese, Chinese and Emirati individuals and companies also are now blacklisted from doing any business in the United States or with American citizens.

The president’s national security team had previewed possible action earlier in the week, with National Security Adviser Michael Flynn saying Iran was “on notice” and Trump warning Friday morning on Twitter that Iran was “playing with fire” with its recent actions.

The sanctions, coming in the first weeks of Trump's term, reflect his administration's desire to take a strong stance toward Iran from the start. Throughout his campaign, Trump accused the Obama administration of being insufficiently tough on Iran and vowed to crack down if elected.

The move won praise from Republican allies in Congress.

“This announcement makes clear that it is a new day in U.S.-Iran relations and that we will no longer tolerate Iran’s destabilizing behavior,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said in a statement. “A coordinated, multi-faceted effort to pushback against a range of illicit Iranian behavior is long overdue.”

Trump’s team stepped up its approach toward Iran in the wake of ballistic missile tests and the recent attack on a Saudi naval vessel by Tehran-backed militants in Yemen.

Military officials told Fox News that Iran has conducted two recent missile tests, one on Dec. 6 and another this past Sunday.

Meanwhile, a defense official told Fox News that the USS Cole, the same warship attacked in Yemen in 2000, is now patrolling off the coast of that country in the Gulf of Aden.

A senior administration official said they are prepared for further sanctions against Iran.

None of the new sanctions announced Friday appear to reverse the Obama administration's suspension of sanctions as part of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Nevertheless, the action will almost surely increase tensions with Iran.

The Islamic republic has insisted that new sanctions violate the deal and that it has the right to conduct ballistic missile tests now that its nuclear program has been sharply curtailed. The U.S. and Western countries argue otherwise, noting that Tehran agreed to an eight-year extension of a ban on ballistic work in nuclear negotiations two years ago. That agreement was concluded in parallel, but separately to the nuclear accord.

Shortly before Friday’s announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif defended his country’s actions, saying on Twitter: “Iran unmoved by threats as we derive security from our people. We'll never initiate war, but we can only rely on our own means of defense.”

Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a critic of the Iran deal, praised Friday’s announcement as a “good start” but warned the “procurement networks” targeted could be reconstituted.

“The Trump administration should adopt ideas promoted by Congress that sanction key nodes of Iran's economy and the international companies involved in supporting Tehran's missile program. Unless the Iranian regime pays a severe price for its malign activities, they are unlikely to stop,” he said in a statement.
