Peace will prevail, and riots will not happen. Those who cross the line outside the courthouse will go to jail. This is not Minnesota.

I would like to take a moment to thank the "Assault-Style Firearm Buyback Program."
You guys gave me back $2,500 for an old 7.62×39 with a warped barrel and a broken firing pin, which I promptly reinvested in a much less dangerous brand-new semi-auto .338 Win Mag and two years' worth of ammo.

You guys are the real MVPs. Honestly, I'm happy you're such a bunch of incompetent fucks.

Karmelo Anthony is a murderous thug. It is well-documented. The Left is attempting to champion him as some sort of misunderstood hero the same way they did with George Floyd. He brought a knife to a track meet, REFUSED to leave the wrong tent, escalated a VERBAL dispute, and stabbed UNARMED 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death in the chest. Video and witnesses show he was, IN FACT, the aggressor, not some victim acting in "fear." He ADMITTED to the stabbing. Meanwhile, the defense cries "self-defense" while Left-wing "activists" fundraise and spin race narratives. Austin is dead. His family buried an innocent young man who did not have to die that day. Stop manufacturing martyrs and take responsibility for what your "community" is producing. Convict him. Maximum sentence. Justice over narrative!

[Just T.J. the Army Vet @thomas_garrard]

I was thinking about it, Mama B’s grandad got his citizenship by joining the U.S. Army in WW1. Her dad was in the Army in the Philippines in WW2. Her brother was 5th Group in Vietnam. Her son joined the Army and went to Iraq. Her entire life on earth, has been her immediate family fighting wars. Her entire life. She may have given more to this country than we can imagine. My mom is a hero.

People with rifles were involved in 401 deaths last year.

I want to tell you a story about a “journalist.”

I’m pretty sure the journalist in question was Scott Pelley, but for reasons I am about to explain I can’t be 100% sure—I just know it was a major US TV reporter.

August, 2003.

I was the G-4 of the 82nd Airborne Division. The IED threat had just become a real thing in Iraq and the 82nd—having just returned from Iraq—was sent back to the fight.

The “Division Support Area” was earmarked for a place called al Taqaddum, or “TQ.” I led the advance party to occupy the site (we drove from Kuwait). TQ was a huge area on a high bluff, west of Fallujah, and had a cratered Iraqi Air Force airfield. Later in the war it was a plush site with a PX and restaurants, but when I occupied it, it was nothing but a bunch of abandoned buildings, hulks of old Iraqi fighting vehicles blocking the runway, nightly rocket and mortar attacks, and constant probing of the huge perimeter by insurgents.

The IED threat was happening because insurgents were pulling artillery rounds out of abandoned Iraqi army ammunition supply points and turning them into roadside bombs.

We had been on TQ about one full day when the front gate called me on the radio: “All American 4, we have some TV reporters here, they want to come in, what should I do, over?”

After telling the gate to check IDs and do a sweep of their vehicle, I said: “Send them to me, over.”

A few minutes later an armored Mercedes pulls up to our TOC. The “talent” is in the very back where I could barely see him, but I’m pretty sure it was Scott Pelley. (Pelley was definitely in Iraq at the time, I checked.)

His producer gets out from the air-conditioned Mercedes plushness and pulls out a map. He arrogantly points to an Iraqi ammo supply point between TQ and Ramadi and demands: “I need you to escort us to this location.”

(They wanted to do a story with reporter speaking against a backdrop of an ammo supply point, because that’s where the IEDs were coming from.)

“NEED? I’m sorry sir, that site is not secured and I am not putting my paratroopers at risk for your story.”

Big disappointment and head shaking. I’m thinking: “The NERVE of this guy. Does he think I work for him?”

He then asks: “Well what will happen if we go by ourselves?”

My response: “You’ll probably die.”

(Important background: TQ also had a giant Iraqi ammo supply point that was inside the wire but we had not cleared it yet—it could have been booby-trapped, we just did not know at the time.)

He points at the map again: “Well how about the ammunition right here? We can just drive over there, right?”

“No sir, you cannot. We have not cleared that site.”

By this time he was visibly angry, he had a chat with the talent in the back, and then they all got back in and left without even saying thank you or good bye.

(Important point: the ammo on TQ he wanted to use as a backdrop for his “story" was SECURED from Iraqis grabbing any of it, yet they wanted to use that as a backdrop for a story on Iraqis grabbing ammo.)

The point of this story is this: those “journalists” were incredibly arrogant, incredibly dismissive of anyone in uniform with dirty boots, and basically oozed a sense of entitlement as if they were on some sort of noble mission, when in reality their mission was to smear the effectiveness of our operations because Bushitler.

When you hear Scott Pelley talk, oozing with arrogance over his “combat” experience, remember that he is of a breed that all think and act alike. To those "journalists," we were not American fighting men and women in combat. No, we were there for their convenience. It sickened me, and still does.

You think you hate journalists enough...

And then I'll sit him on my shoulder
And open up my trusty old mind
I gonna teach him how to cuss, teach him how to fuss
And pull the cork out of a bottle of wine
