One soldier's story

In 1991, at the end of Desert Storm, a 19 yr. old US Army Cavalry Scout Private who had just spent 8 months at war sat out on a street at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.  He sat there on his duffle bag with his Battalion around him for 4 days waiting for the buses to come and take him to the King Fahad Airport so he could go home. 

Unfortunately, the politicians of the day never planned for how to bring so many soldiers home after the war ended so there was a shortage of planes.  Politicians are great at talking, but terrible at doing.

Finally, the buses came, and took the young man to the airport. The planes waiting were from Tower Air. The owner of Tower Air had volunteered his planes and staff to bring soldiers home for the cost of fuel only.
 
Happily, the young veteran got home just in time for Easter weekend in 1991, and spent that time emotionally healing with friends and family surrounding him.

That Private was Ron Knouse.

The Airline owner - Donald J Trump.

That is why I will vote Trump.  Loyalty for loyalty, respect for respect.  Any questions?
Written by Ron Knouse
 
He's done so many good things you never hear about. They love to rip him up. What has Hillary ever done but line her pockets & lie in her quest for power!

Some good ones here

I was in the six item express lane at the store quietly fuming.      Completely ignoring the sign, the
woman ahead of me had slipped into the check-out line pushing a cart piled high with groceries.
Imagine my delight when the cashier beckoned the woman to come forward looked into the cart
and asked sweetly, "So which six items would you like to buy?"
(Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?)
 
------------------------------      ------------------------------
Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table.
"Young man, we're both 90 years old," the husband said. "We may not have 45 minutes."
They were seated immediately.
 
------------------------------------------------------
The reason politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would "hate" to have to make a
living under the laws they have just passed.
------------------------------------------------------
 
All eyes were on the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle. They reached the
altar and the waiting groom. The bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand.
The guests in the front pews responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly.
As her father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and
get used to the idea.

Three friends from the local congregation were asked, "When you're in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?"
Artie said, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man."
Eugene    commented, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in people's lives."
Al said, "I'd like them to say, 'Look, he's moving!'"

Smith climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God.  Looking up, he asks the Lord. "God, what does a million years mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A minute."
Smith asks, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A penny."
Smith asks, "Can I have a penny?"
The Lord replies, "In a minute."

John was on his deathbed and gasped pitifully, "Give me one last request, dear," he said.
"Of course, John," his wife said softly.
"Six months after I die," John said, "I want you to marry Bob."
"But I thought you hated Bob," she said..
With his last breath John said, "I do!"
--------------------------------------
A man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I  have to talk to you about it."
The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?"
The man replied, "My wife is going to poison me."
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?"
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's going to poison me.  What should I do?"
The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her; I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."
A week later the Rabbi calls the man.
He says, "I spoke to your wife on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?"
The man said, "Yes" and the Rabbi replied, "Take the poison."
--------------------------------------
I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.

Should fit right in with Killory

ADDENDA: In case you missed it on Friday, back in 2005, Tim Kaineran as a conservative to get elected governor of Virginia: Pro-life, vehemently opposed to gun control, opposed to gay marriage, supporting tax cuts, and opposing tax increases. He bent first on tax increases, then guns, then abortion, and then gay marriage. In short, he’s whatever he needs to be to get to the next office.
 
Sound familiar?  Should make a great team member for Killory.

Bill's Loving Wife

Bill Clinton's Loving Wife

 By Dick Morris

 Former political adviser to President Bill Clinton.

 If you happen to see the Bill Clinton 5-minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background, beware. As I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few corrections.

Bill says: "In law school, Hillary worked on legal services for the poor."

 The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law school was  helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.

 Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children's rights project for poor kids."

 The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, thehead of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.

 Bill says: "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers."

 The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam; yes, flunked. It is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas - none - and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor.

Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its chairman."

The facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman.

Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital."

The facts are: Yes, she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart board of directors for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.

 Bill says: "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994, but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance."

The facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals' tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.

Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the world."

The facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.

 Bill says: "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for children's and women's issues."

 The facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in Puerto Rico . A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer's or other conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the entire NY delegation. Presently she is trying to have the USmemorialize the Woodstockfiasco of 40 years ago.

Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton: She has done everythingpossible to weaken the President and our country (that's you and me!) when it comes to the war on terror.

 1. She wants to close GITMO andmove the combatants to the USAwhere they would have access to our legal system.

 2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls to/from the USA .

 3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield.

 4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA .

 5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.

 One cannot think of a single bill Hillary has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our country in the War on Terror. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our country and make it a more dangerous situation for all of us. Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned.

 Share this with every Democrat you know. Ask them to prove Dick Morris wrong. Think about it --- Dick Morris has said all of this openly, thus if he were not truthful he'd be liable for defamation of character! And you better believe Hillary would sue him.

 Is America ready for a woman president?  Perhaps we are, but definitely NOT THIS one.

Adoption

A husband and wife who work for the circus went to an adoption agency. 

Social workers there raised doubts about their suitability.

The couple produced photos of their 50-foot motor home, which is clean and well maintained and equipped with a beautiful nursery.

The social workers raised concerns about the education a child would receive while in the couple's care.

"We've arranged for a full-time tutor who will teach the child all the usual subjects along with French, Mandarin, and computer skills."

The social workers expressed concern about a child being raised in a circus environment.

"Our nanny is a certified expert in pediatric care, welfare, and diet."

The social workers were finally satisfied. They asked, "What age child are you hoping to adopt?"

"It doesn't really matter, as long as the kid fits in the cannon."

Sobering Conundrums

Conundrum 

 A question asked for amusement, typically one with a pun in its answer; a riddle.

Conundrum

Here are six Conundrums of Socialism in the United States of America : 

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized. 

2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims. 

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government. 

4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer. 

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about. 

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries. 

Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
