It can happen

Really? Can the fortress of the White House be held hostage?

Scarily .. YES! 

At least according to Hollywood and Gerard Butler Productions.

The set was a pretty good replica of the White House. Of course there are several acts of cinematic magic, such as the Washington Monument being taken down. Planes and helicopters crashing in Washington D.C., tour buses stopping in front of the White House, snipers not omnipresent on the roofs, Secret Service rushing out of the White House. Once again remember this is a movie, not the real thing. 

CEREBUS at self destruct.

Yawn, there are some flaws.

But I have to say the sound of gunfights at close range, that really shook me for a while. Then when everyone seem to have endless ammo, okay, reality kicked in with a silent reminder that I am in a movie theatre. 

Overall, Olympus has Fallen was a good movie, makes you rethink about the security of the country and where your honour lies.

The rage when the flag of the United States of America was taken down and thrown to the ground.

Anger when our Commanding Officers are so arrogant, all they remember about leadership is bark orders instead of listening to recon.

I think Secret Service Department just got an awakening call from the West Coast. 

The boys in those black boots will make sure that such an incursion will only happens in the movies. 

Again?

Shows how much my husband knows me.

Ahhhhh

GIVE ME NAME!

A rich millionaire decides to throw a massive party for his 50th birthday, so during this party he grabs the microphone and he announces to his guests that down in the garden of his mansion he has a swimming pool with two great white sharks in it. 'I will give anything they desire of mine, to the man who swims across that pool.'

So the party continues with no events in the pool, until suddenly, there is a great splash and all the guests of the party run to the pool to see what has happened.

In the pool is a man and he is swimming as hard as he can, and the fins come out of the water and the jaws are snapping and this guy just keeps on going and the sharks are gaining on him and this guy reaches the end and he gets out of the pool, tired and soaked.

The millionaire grabs the microphone and says, 'I am a man of my word, anything of mine I will give, my Ferraris, my house, absolutely anything, for you are the bravest man I have ever seen. So sir what will it be?' the millionaire asks.

The guy grabs the microphone and says, 'Why don't we start with the name of the bastard that pushed me in!'

HOW TO INSTALL A SOUTHERN HOME SECURITY SYSTEM

1.       Go to Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 men's work boots.

2.       Place them on your front porch along with a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine.

3.       Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine.

4.       Leave a note on your door that reads:

Bubba,

Me and Marcel, Donnie Ray and Jimmy Earl went for more ammo and soda pop.  Be back in an hour.  Don't mess with the pit bulls.  They got the mailman this morning and messed him up bad.  Don't think Killer took part, but it was hard to tell with all the blood.  Anyway, I locked all four of 'um in the house.  Be right back.

Veteran of the United States Army

Here is the most brilliant statement ever made without a word being said!!!!!

This American born, Veteran of the United States Army, law abiding, taxpaying citizen

was told by his Homeowners Association that he -

Could Not fly the American Flag in his yard......

This is his response:

Amen brother

 

 

Ahmadinejad says he wants to be first Iran's first astronaut

The headlines read:

Ahmadinejad says he wants to be first Iran's first astronaut

I believe the rest of the world will agree with me, SEND THE LITTLE SNOT.

Just in case if he needs company, the other little snot Kim Jung Un will do just fine.

Make sure not to over tighten a few bolts, to save some money, use thin insulation for outer skin and make sure all the parts are Made In China.

Instead of Godspeed, we shall boldly scribe on the side of the craft: GOOD RIDDANCE.

Imitation WHAT????

What would you do

What advise would you give to someone about this:

Your friend told in a conversation about her boss/manager with a GOD complex.

He assigns work to complete at the last minute all the time. Also he screams and yells to her about memos. Your friend is up until 2 am completing his projects while he was playing games on his computer. 

All the missteps points towards an abusing manager. What to tell your friend? Is this environment worth it?

Team Rubicon Rules

Years ago in a dangerous land far away, a group of brave men fought dangerous tyrants who strangled a land into oppression. This fearless group of men fought on the streets of Fallujah,  protected the civilians and rid these cities of the Al-Qaeda stronghold. Most of their firefights are archived on milbloggersphere, i.e. www.blackfive.net, Michael Yon's (fantastic journey with Ltc Kurilla and his troops of Deuce Four on the streets of Mosul is a must read.)

By the way they are called the United States Marines. They swept through the streets of Fallujah with guns and muscles. Taking out the bad guys into the trash pile and brought back clean ied-free streets to the children. Proudly these warriors came home state-side and became civilians. Gone were the fatigues, guns and humvees, back into blue jeans, debit cards and beat up ford pick-up trucks.
Unfortunately, some if not most of them brought home PTSD, meaning difficulty adjusting to civilian life, in part non-battle conditions. Many are on medications to help with the symptoms, which also carries the various side effects.

In January 2010, Team Rubicon was formed, they merge the skills and experiences of military veterans with emergency first responders.

In the wake of SuperStorm Sandy,  Team Rubicon with their military super muscles re-emerges onto the streets, this time with chainsaws and shovels not guns and humvees. Imagine 1000 veterans marching into town. Yeah!
*imagine this silly cheering at the pc when the news first erupted.

Team Rubicon is now in the areas stricken by Superstorm Sandy, helping to rebuild the streets again. This time with chainsaws and shovels. They call this Operation Greased Lightning.

An update I just received, Team Rubicon needs help  with teams on the ground. Help here.
Also members of the TR reported do not, I repeat, DO NOT feel the need to medicate their PTSD symptoms.

Here is their Facebook page with pictures.

These warriors just keep giving and giving.

Warning to potential looter, beware of Marines with shovels and chainsaws, they took out terrorists with IEDs, they will take you out like smacking a mosquito.

*SALUTE

So the election is over

The elections here are over, finally.

We can return to our usual programming and our mail boxes are not overflowing with party mail.

Unfortunately there are some who did not win and half the country felt let down.

We now know which of our neighbours are of the other party, you know from the other side of the tracks.

But on Wednesday, November 7th, 2012, life goes on.

We still bitch at the bastard in front who is travelling 5 mph when we are running late, the price of gas at the pump, running errands in five directions at a time, cleanup from Superstorm Sandy, trying to help with the cleanup from Superstorm Sandy.

Not everyone cast a vote in this elections of officials, only 65% of the eligible voting population voted.

65% is a shameful turnout in a country that has the luxury of FREEDOM.

We do not have to walk over mountains and descent valleys for days to cast a vote with a blue fingerprint. 

We do not have to dodge gunfire and announce our choice by setting out our right foot or left foot.

In most cases we cast our decisions digitally, thus there should be no excuse for the remainder 35% not to participate in the fundamental rights of a citizen. 

Yes dear overseas readers, there were Americans who did not vote. Only here do we exercise the interesting choice of not voting.

Freedom, some forget to cherish it.

I received this today

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE!

You may have served in Combat or in non-combat.

 
 
 
 

You may have retired out or you may have served for a short time. 
 You may have been a draftee or a volunteer. 
 You may have served in the Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or the Merchant Marines, 
 
 BUT YOU SERVED.  YOU DID YOUR JOB HONORABLY and for that I am PROUD to call you Brother.
 
 You may have served during Korea, WWII,. Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan, But you served, you did not run.

 
 
 
 

You have a DD 214 with those words "HONORABLY DISCHARGED"  two of the most noble words in the world.

 
 
 
 

Again I am proud to know each and every one of you.
 
 * Today is Band of Brothers' Day* ; send this to all your brothers, fathers, sons and fellow veterans you know. Happy Brothers' Day!
 
 To the cool men that have touched my life: Here's to you!! I was never a hero, but I am thankful and proud to have served among them.

 A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you.
 
 Send to all your Band of Brothers, because the fake ones won't.
