The tenth anniversary of the Iraq war.
And yet this inane and quite lame training video is what people are angry about.
Only in America.

The IRS made a training video with a STAR TREK theme..
The tenth anniversary of the Iraq war.
And yet this inane and quite lame training video is what people are angry about.
Only in America.

The UK INDEPENDENT reports on the ‘strangest week’ in fashion ever.. as children very young walk down the catwalk modeling clothing from top designers..
The INDEPENDENT reported it this way:
It is like any other high-fashion catwalk show – but with one small difference. This is the first Global Kids Fashion Week, and here the threat of tantrums and inappropriate behaviour comes not from the usual bitchy fashion crowd but from a pack of extravagantly styled toddlers. In the front row, mothers discreetly wrestle their uncontainable tots back into their £100-a-ticket seats just in time to see an army of beautiful children take to the runway.
“There is a huge market for kids’ fashion,” explains Alex Theophanous, one half of the online children’s store AlexandAlexa.com, who co-organised the inaugural event at London’s Freemason’s Hall. “The market is significantly bigger than ever before. We felt the time was right to take children’s fashion centre stage.”
Some may enjoy the show.. Perhaps the same people who watch countless reality programs …
They may call it cute.
They may think it’s adorable.
I’d call it exploitation … I’m frankly getting creeped out by these types of things lately..
You’d think since it’s spring I’d be getting some nice sun.. But no, thanks to cold and wintry winds, I am now sporting that lavish mid-January chapped ‘wind burn’ George Hamilton kinda look..
A meteor show is taking place tonight. Thousands of reports now of people who saw it in the sky along the East Coast.
And there is a potential impact in Maryland/Delaware of a meteorite.
People finding dogs stoned to death.. others had their skulls crushed and their bodies are found with purple cloth..
Something strange is happening.
It sounds to me like local authorities and friendly human society may need to call someone in who thinks more along darker lines.. There is obviously a darker issue taking place here..
This is one cool rockin’ Pope.
Francis will not be conducting a mass at the typical place others have. According to the TELEGRAPH, he’s heading to a prison instead.
Nick Squires from the TELEGRAPH reports,
Francis, who has broken the mould with his informal approach and unscheduled walkabouts, will conduct next week’s Holy Thursday service in a prison for young offenders on the outskirts of Rome.
The service is normally held either in St Peter’s Basilica or in the Church of St John in Lateran, which is the Pope’s church in his capacity as Bishop of Rome.
This guy gets cooler and cooler all the time.
Keep on rockin’ in the free world, Bergoglio
It all started with the Jimmy Saville story.. and now …
This is how the UK INDEPENDENT reports it:
Celebrities and politicians were protected from child sex investigations because hundreds of police intelligence files were kept so secret that investigating officers could not access them, it has been reported
This is the truth that few will report, few want to hear, and few want to think about.
It’s also the truth that needs to be reported, needs to be heard, and not only needs to be thought about but needs to be thoroughly investigated..
And while you’re at it, you may want to YouTube and search for CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE and get information on Franklin Cover-up.. It’s not just in the Catholic Church, or the BBC, or in dark places. It’s right in front of us.
Now maybe movie theaters can, too..
I hate going to a film on a weekend.. It’s a sewage pit of teenage odors. One stronger than the next. And the worst are those who don’t bath and try the AXE cover up.. Horrendous.
Rumble in the Garden State..
Many websites had information about rumblings, booms, and tremors the other day…They remain a mystery, though all the likely sources like planes and military say they aren’t responsible . Is it natural gas? Chris Christie running for another donut? A calamity coming to earth? …booms from aliens? Lots of strange theories abound. And while some laugh at those who are claiming the sky is falling, they don’t have any explanation themselves. Why did these booms take place, and where did three counties feeling the ground underneath them shake? This is a perplexing issue, isn’t it? And one that we should treat with some more respect instead of just mocking people who are fearful that the crust is shaking under our shoes. ..
The thing I find the most fascinating about this story (and various others when they occur across the world) is that big media doesn’t show up to cover it. It’s local affiliates small newspapers.. not CNN, FOX, or MSNBC.. instead people who want answers need to trudge through the millions of websites to find reliable coverage someone from a local network .. and even those stories shed little light on a subject that I believe demands greater attention..
Look.. you have a massive sinkhole in Louisiana that gets no attention. Sinkholes in Florida.. a man swallowed on a golf course on the 14th hole.. and years now of booms, rattles, tremors, all across the crust of the planet. There is something happening. Maybe science can explain it calmly and collectively. But no one from the science community has addressed it. Instead we’re left to our own demons.. speculating about what the noises could be, while others in the ‘mainstream’ laugh at conspiracy theorists who want answers.
Until you hear the booms or your house shakes, perhaps you won’t care. But when it happens to you? A whole different story —and if you’re a reporter, maybe a story you’d finally be willing to cover.
A late night talk show host from NBC bashing NBC as executives work behind the scenes to get rid of him and hire someone else… Leno did it to Letterman in ‘92-‘93.. Now he is being forced to take it on the chin himself as he’s being edged out in place of Fallon on the TONIGHT SHOW..
And with that, TONIGHT will be back in New York City…
Next we will find out he wants priests to marry!
Then again, he was in love as a kid..
Hmmm…
Even more alarmingly, Gosnell instructed unlicensed workers to sedate patients with dangerous drugs in his absence… In addition, he regularly performed abortions beyond the 24-week limit prescribed by law. As a result, viable babies were born. Gosnell killed them by plunging scissors into their spinal cords. He taught his staff to do the same

At the trial, a worker admitted killing at least 10 babies by cutting their spines..
If you’re pro-life you’re disgusted by this story.
And if you’re pro-choice, I trust you’re disgusted as well..
This is truly a house of horrors..
This was Blake Miller, the famed ‘Marlboro Man’ of the Iraq war.
One simple image changed his life..
Today’s Iraq war news articles have been quite the stroll down amnesia lane…
Long range forecasts do continue to suggest a major snowstorm for the region early next week, with snow possible for places like Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, and New York City. Unlike tomorrow’s weak, light passing system, the next storm could be quite significant.
Weatherboy Weather, my favorite Facebook Weather page..
And I agree, from the models I have been watching, this could be a big one..
I have two reactions to this story from the UK DAILY MAIL about springer breakers gone bad.
1) It’s the DAILY MAIL, and they want to show scantily clad images of kids to sell some ad space and scare parents.
2) It’s the future of the world, being arrested for binge drinking… looking horridly ugly.. beer goggles to the utmost. Yep, the kids aren’t alright.
I think this calls for TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, part 2.
Pro Iraq War protesters protesting the anti-war protestors, Boston, 2003.
The Iraq War turns 10 today and has taken over 125,000 human lives.
Today in protests that look awkward in retrospect.
I don’t miss these days..
The Pope is clearly already a rock star.. This morning he rode an open air vehicle to mass in Vatican City to a crowd going wild.. But he stopped briefly at a man who was clearly disabled in some way..
This is what a Pope should be.
March 19, 2003: President Bush announced that the nation was at war…
Yep.. 10 long years ago ..
And we know what happened since.
This seems to be a truly tragic and sick story from Pontiac, Michigan. This woman, a 75-year-old grandmother named Sandra Layne, gunned down her 17-year-old grandson named Jonathon Hoffman.
Prosecutors called the scene a massacre, and want Layne to be convicted of murder.. Layne says it was in self defense, and that Hoffman in self-defense..
According to the AP report on the shooting:
Layne testified last week that she was afraid of her grandson and acted in self-defense. She said she shot him after he struck her while arguing over his demands for money and a plan to flee Michigan. Hoffman had failed a drug test earlier that day, which could have been a parole violation.
Walton reminded jurors that Layne didn’t report any injuries to police when they arrived at her home after the shooting.
"Not I was afraid, I acted in self-defense, he came after me," Walton said. "I murdered. I shot. I killed — those are her first statements to law enforcement. … She hunted down Jonathan Hoffman because he wouldn’t listen."
He called it a “massacre.”
I don’t know how the jury will find her.. I can’t say I heard about this until today. And every murder is tragic.. but something seems exceptionally tragic about a grandmother shooting her grandson, regardless of why..
No word on what role Dennis Rodman would play.. or whose side he’d be on anyway.
AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM!
What am I talking about?
The Northeast.. my home base of Pennsylvania.. And Pennsyltucky, too. A Facebook page I follow (which has been quite accurate this year) is Weatherboy Weather.. Tonight on the page, the weatherboy writes,
If you’re not a fan of wintry weather, you’re not going to like this…
Mid and long range models show more winter weather is on the way for the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, with another threat of accumulating snow likely early next week. There does not appear to be any significant warm-up for the balance of the month. In this region, you’ll need to wait longer for milder spring weather to arrive.
I almost had to laugh when I saw it.. I almost had to … cringe when I thought about it.
I checked some other weather sources and actually checked some other weather models on my own that I had bookmarked, and .. yes.. there is a storm on the map. It would be wintry. And this is the winter that never ends..
Not to be…well…overly politically minded, but was this perhaps a reason Hillary Clinton made big news today by announcing support for gay marriage?? Taking the spotlight off of something potentially .. upsetting? Just a thought.
So is the History Channel’s BIBLE ‘devil’ modeled after Obama? That is apparently the chatter all over the internets today..
The History Channel is responding, as is mark Burnett, who called the story nonsense..
And after all, it did appear in the UK DAILY MAIL..
And now Cyprus is going to steal people’s bank accounts..!
Pay attention to this story (which means avoid American msm and go with other world orgs)
Gas drilling? Fracking? The earth moving under our feet? Any explanation is fair game, as far as I’m concerned.. s
But while they mock him, they also acknowledge there have been a whole bunch of star-studded seizures lately. The latest is Ton Loc, the rapper..
Either there is an enemy within, or lots of Hollywood stars got some bad stuff..
Pink is in Philadelphia tonight.. I had plans to get tickets for my wife and I to go see her. Things fell through .. I can’t say I’m not depressed that we won’t go.. maybe next time. Or Sydney Australia.. right, right.
Maybe next tour.
So if you were a lucky one that got tickets and is in the audience, I’d love to hear from you.. send photos.. videos. Whatever.. Pink me up.
CNN reports:
Two Steubenville high school football players accused of raping an allegedly drunk 16-year-old girl were found guilty by an Ohio judge on Sunday.
Judge Thomas Lipps announced his decision after reviewing evidence presented over four days of testimony in the case against 17-year-old Trent Mays and 16-year-old Ma’lik Richmond
The Pope of surprises.. now he’s making speeches off the cuff, scaring people by showing up in different places around the Vatican, and kissing babies..
As NBC news reported this morning:
Earlier, he began his first Sunday as pontiff by making an impromptu appearance to the public from a side gate of the Vatican, startling passersby and prompting cheers, then kept up his simple, spontaneous style by delivering a brief, off-the-cuff homily at the Vatican’s tiny parish church.
Five men have confessed to gang-raping a Swiss tourist in central India, authorities said Sunday.
Police said they will give out more information at a news conference later in the day.
