Breitbart reporting "Trump Offers Father Down on His Luck $10,000 Check at Inaugural Event A FedEx courier and former security guard from Illinois was surprised with an invitation to meet with Donald Trump after the President-elect saw a story on the struggling single father. But the special meeting wasn’t the only surprise. The young man was stunned when Trump presented him with a check for $10,000. Shane Bouvet, a 23-year-old single dad, was featured in a Washington Post story highlighting his visit to D.C. to support Donald Trump’s inauguration. The paper revealed that Bouvet was headed to D.C. in a borrowed suit and donated shoes to celebrate Trump’s oath of office. “This is pretty much the biggest thing I’ve done in my life,” Bouvet told the paper. “I don’t get out much. I’m a small-town, blue-collar guy.” But a mere visit to Washington to see this historic day was far from the only notable thing about Bouvet’s visit, because Trump himself saw the paper’s feature on Bouvet and invited the young man to a one-on-one meeting. On Thursday, only a day before he took the oath of office to become the 45th president of the United States of America, Donald Trump met Mr. Bouvet, shook his hand, and offered some help. “This is the greatest guy,” Trump said as he shook Bouvet’s hand in a tented area behind the Lincoln Memorial on Thursday, the Post reported. Bouvet called his father and had him say hello to the president in waiting. The President-elect laughed that Bouvet’s father, who is also named Don, has “a great name.” After Bouvet’s phone call back home, Trump signed autographs for the young man’s son and then came the big surprise. As Mr. Bouvet prepared to end his historic meeting with the President-elect, Donald Trump handed him a personal check for $10,000. As he walked away stunned and crying, Bouvet muttered aloud, “Did that just happen?”" _________________________ | |||

He probably got picked something like this: <BN Cmdr gets all his officers in a room. Gunny Highway voice on> "Ok listen up. One of you war dogs has to escort the new first lady in a few days. I'll take volunteers first. [hands go up] No not you Jones, Jesus Christ my schnauzer has a better face than you. Not you either O'Donnell. God Dam I don't need someone up there representing us licking the back of the bulletproof glass. Smith get over here. Dam Captain Smith you know what? You are silly and you're ignorant but you look like a God Dam Abercrombie model. Do you have a picture of Zac Effron over your rack? Of course you do we allow that shit now. Oh well looks is enough. Smith if you ask for her number I will personally make sure the ghost of Chesty Puller shits all over you, you understand that? [Captain Smith rogers up] Get your poop in a group Smith dress blue alpha inspection tomorrow morning at zero five. Dismissed" | |||

On a related note, I was surprised to read recently that until Reagan, it was unusual (some considered it improper even) for the president to return a salute from the military. President Reagan explained how it came about during a speech in Iceland:
Along the same vein, I doubt anyone will correct VP Pence ._________________________ Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honour so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. -Winston Churchill, writing of the Pashtun | |||

Senate confirms Kelly for DHS Kelly's nomination easily passed the Senate in a 88-11 vote. http://www.washingtonexaminer....-dhs/article/2612526 adding: The Senate will vote Monday on the nomination for Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kansas, to serve as CIA director after six hours of debate. | |||

He must read Sigforum. I noticed that Mr. Pence had started hand over heart since we have discussed it, standing next to an Admiral and the President saluting. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

The gal on Fox Business News, Mercedes Schlapp, just characterized Senator Schumer's remarks at the Inaugural as "the obituary of the Democrat Party." Ho ho!

That is who is there now. Before there has been a series of Joint Chiefs one by one. The last uniformed guy was the Coast Guard, IIRC.

Dam I missed all the Joint Chiefs. Wow. Wonder if it was congrats or if something is going on. Trump and Gen. Mattis seemed to be exchanging more than pleasantries. | |||

As the parade ended, the CINC was talking business with the SECDEF. It was abundantly clear that it was down to business. Let's go! RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||
