Katie Cowlick
Katie, of course, is in the news for her dishonest editing of an interview with gun rights activists. In her video, she asked a rather banal question, with a definite anti-gun bias, and then inserted several seconds of video where the interviewees were sitting in silence, some with their heads bowed, as if they were dumbfounded by the profundity of her question. In reality, they answered without hesitation, and it is we who are dumbfounded at the blatant dishonesty of someone trying to pass this Michael Moore style crap off as a documentary.

Medal of Honor
Captain Florent A. Groberg
Citation:
Captain Florent A. Groberg distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a Personal Security Detachment Commander for Task Force Mountain Warrior, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, during combat operations against an armed enemy in Asadbad, Kunar Province, Afghanistan on August 8, 2012.
On that day, Captain Groberg was leading a dismounted movement consisting of several senior leaders to include two brigade commanders, two battalion commanders, two command sergeants major, and an Afghanistan National Army brigade commander. As they approached the Provincial Governor’s compound, Captain Groberg observed an individual walking close to the formation. When the individual made an abrupt turn towards the formation, he noticed an abnormal bulge underneath the individual’s clothing.
Selflessly placing himself in front of one of the brigade commanders, Captain Groberg rushed forward, using his body to push the suspect away from the formation. Simultaneously, he ordered another member of the security detail to assist with removing the suspect. At this time, Captain Groberg confirmed the bulge was a suicide vest and with complete disregard for his life, Captain Groberg again with the assistance of the other member of the security detail, physically pushed the suicide bomber away from the formation.
Upon falling, the suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest outside the perimeter of the formation, killing four members of the formation and wounding numerous others. The blast from the first suicide bomber caused the suicide vest of a previously unnoticed second suicide bomber to detonate prematurely with minimal impact on the formation. Captain Groberg’s immediate actions to push the first suicide bomber away from the formation significantly minimized the impact of the coordinated suicide bombers’ attack on the formation, saving the lives of his comrades and several senior leaders.
Captain Groberg’s extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty at the risk of life are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect credit upon himself, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division and the United States Army.
Captain Groberg: We humbly salute you and thank you for your service.
Hat tip Home of Heroes
There are seventy five living MoH recipients today. Their names and their stories should not be forgotten. My mission is to honor one of those heroes here each week, and salute them for their courage and sacrifice. In the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
“A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces, but also by the men it honors; the men it remembers.”
The Homefront Went to War
Sometime when I was in my late teens or early twenties, I visited a stationery store in downtown Stockton. Back in the day when big box office supply stores had not yet been invented and people quaintly still wrote letters. This one was having a clearance sale of some sort, presaging the going out of business sale that was destined to come. The store closed its doors years ago.
I came across several boxes of Bibles...New Testaments, actually. Pocket sized and...armored! What the well dressed G.I. should be carrying! There have been anecdotes about people carrying a Bible or something in their left breast pocket stopping a bullet. James Doohan, "Scottie" from the USS Enterprise:
Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren gun by a nervous Canadian sentry: four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother.
And they say smoking will kill you!
The primary market for this product, I suspect, was people on the homefront. Anxious mothers, girl friends, relatives seeking to provide some added measure of protection, both physical and perhaps spiritual, to those they loved, would buy these and give them or send them to those within the sound of shots fired in anger. I doubt that many G.I.s bought them for themselves, since at that age, most of them, like myself, believed themselves to be at least vaguely bulletproof.
Some were called “The Heart-Shield Bible". They came with different sayings engraved on them. The ones I saw weren't gold plated or coated. Some had a message from FDR in them*. All of them had a message from Jesus Christ. Hard to say how many of them were actually read and how many of them were simply tokens or talismans, carried to ease their loved ones' minds.
But I'm sure they carried a little bit of home in their left breast pocket. A token of the love felt for them by those back on the home front. Those who wanted them to return to them when the war was finally over. And did the only thing, other than praying, that they knew that they could do.
*Could you possibly imagine a message from our current Commander-in-Chief, printed in a Bible, Koran or Torah, encouraging our troops, "commending the reading... to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States"? Me neither.

Captain America - Civil War
Saw "Captain America - Civil War" yesterday. Don't want to do a full fledged review, as it would contain many spoilers and I wouldn't want to diminish the film's appeal if you haven't seen it yet. I saw it in 3D, which is a far cry from the 3D films of my youth, and liked it. While several people mistook me for Clark Kent, in the glasses, the theater was relatively empty (on a Thursday afternoon), so there were no squalling rugrats to detract from the experience.
If you are a fan of the comic book movie genre, I highly recommend it. It stayed pretty true to its Marvel Universe roots. Without giving away a whole lot, Aunt May was much younger and hotter than she's ever been!
I'm typically not fond of CGI fight scenes, where one CGI creature battles another, in blurry, blinding speed, you have to sit through to get to the next plot point. Civil War uses a great deal of CGI, but it is blended with the live action to keep your attention on the characters and the story line rather than the techniques.
The "Civil War" is brought about by politicians appalled at the amount of collateral damage that sometimes (often) occurs when superheroes save the world from super villains. So the UN (Yea, bureaucrats!) draws up a set of laws that will put them under UN supervision. Not all of the Avengers agree. It is a parable, perhaps, of how two or more people can see the same set of facts and draw entirely different conclusions from them. Neither side becomes "evil" in that they sign or don't sign. Captain America isn't "throwing a tantrum" because he doesn't sign. He's just guided by a different set of principles.
If you saw the movie and want to discuss it, I may drop some spoilers in the comments, so Spoiler alert! Don't read the comments if you don't want to know.
And, by the way... fire the Fed Ex guy!
Excelsior!

Newt Gingrich for Vice President?
There's a rumor making the rounds that Newt Gingrich is not only on Donald Trump's short list of VPs, but that he is the favorite. He certainly has been making the rounds of the talking head programs talking up his buddy Trump. Trump could do a lot worse than Newtie. Of course, Newt comes with some baggage that might not set well with some women voters. So, let's take a look at some of the pros and cons of a Gingrich vice presidency.
On the plus side, Newt is really smart. He's formally educated. He's literate. He's the anti-Trump in this regard. He was the architect and prime mover behind the Contract with America which gave control of the House of Representatives to Republicans, providing balance to the Clinton profligacy, forcing him to balance the national budget, implementing welfare reforms and any number of good things whose successes Bill Clinton took credit for.
Newt knows the ins and outs of getting things done in Washington. He will surely make mincemeat out of anyone the Democrats can dig up in a VP debate. And Newt is fully qualified to assume the Oval Office if, God forbid, something should ever happen to the president. In his presidential bid in 2012, after standing up against a biased media, there was a time when it looked like Newt might take the lead, but it was short lived.* Newt would have been, IMHO, a better candidate than Mitt.
Now the negatives. Newt is not the best liked of politicians. I mentioned a week or so back that a friend of mine from high school demonstrated a visceral hatred of Newt at the mere mention of his name. She repeated the liberal narrative, that Newt had callously handed his first wife her divorce papers while she was laying a hospital bed, racked with disease. And while I don't believe the narrative is true, nonetheless, I doubt her disgust of Newt has moderated any over the years.
Then, there's the question of trade agreements. Newt mentioned just this week that he was the whip that drove NAFTA through the House. Last I heard, NAFTA was still anathema to union guys on the Left. Supposedly there are Bernie voters who talk about gravitating to Trump should Hillary prevail as the Democrat candidate. Now imagine them being asked to hold their nose and vote for a ticket with the father of NAFTA on it? That could prove problematic.
Newt is a brilliant man but he has image problems. Even though in an ideal world that shouldn't matter, in the United States of Kardashia, JFK trumps a Nixon, Reagan trumps Carter and those guys from Air Force One and Independence Day inspire confidence with their square jawed manliness. Newt looks like the kid who gets his lunch money taken away from him.
Will a ticket of two, old white men prevail over the first woman president and a designated minion to be chosen later? Ya pays your money, ya takes your chances!
*Newt and his wife Callista flew off for a vacation in Hawaii in the wake of a very successful debate, reminiscent of Evelle Younger, who, after debating Jerry Brown during his first California gubernatorial re-election bid, flew off to Hawaii with his wife, while Gov. Moonbeam stayed behind, and took to the airwaves of Sacramento radio stations to lie and misrepresent what Younger had said the night before. Both the Gingrichs and the Youngers came back sun-kissed and kissing their elections goodbye.

Medal of Honor
Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Carl Byers Jr.
Citation:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a Hostage Rescue Force Team Member in Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM from 8 to 9 December 2012. As the rescue force approached the target building, an enemy sentry detected them and darted inside to alert his fellow captors. The sentry quickly reemerged, and the lead assaulter attempted to neutralize him. Chief Byers with his team sprinted to the door of the target building.
As the primary breacher, Chief Byers stood in the doorway fully exposed to enemy fire while ripping down six layers of heavy blankets fastened to the inside ceiling and walls to clear a path for the rescue force. The first assaulter pushed his way through the blankets, and was mortally wounded by enemy small arms fire from within. Chief Byers, completely aware of the imminent threat, fearlessly rushed into the room and engaged an enemy guard aiming an AK-47 at him. He then tackled another adult male who had darted towards the corner of the room.
During the ensuing hand-to-hand struggle, Chief Byers confirmed the man was not the hostage and engaged him. As other rescue team members called out to the hostage, Chief Byers heard a voice respond in English and raced toward it. He jumped atop the American hostage and shielded him from the high volume of fire within the small room. While covering the hostage with his body, Chief Byers immobilized another guard with his bare hands, and restrained the guard until a teammate could eliminate him.
His bold and decisive actions under fire saved the lives of the hostage and several of his teammates. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of near certain death, Chief Petty Officer Byers reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
Senior Chief Byers: We humbly salute you and thank you for your service.

"Hi. My Name is Mike, and I'm a Gritsaholic"
I know what you're thinking. Don't judge. They say that there's a genetic predisposition for addiction in some people. And though I was born south of the Mason Dixon line, I have not noticed any uncontrollable urges. That is, until now.
I never ate grits as a lad. Oh, on rare occasions maybe, but never as a steady diet. Oh, sure, I've tried recreational grits over the years. I even ordered grits from a Canadian Denny's once. (They're quite legal there.) But, they must have sensed I wasn't from around there, so they served me hash browns instead.
All that changed recently. You know how the pusher often gives you the first hit for free? I'm minding my own business, quietly shopping for groceries and I hear this "Psst! Over here!" I look, and there's a box of grits 50% off. "Hey!" I thought to myself, "a bargain!" And I started having grits with my breakfast a few days later. A little butter, maybe a little shredded cheese on top. Still, I could take it or leave it. I'd fry up some bacon, poach a couple of eggs and have some grits on the side. No problem!
Then, one morning, I was looking at the box the grits came in, with those eggs nestled closely against the grits, and I thought: What if I were to put my poached eggs directly on top of my grits? I was hooked! There's really no turning back now. I'm a gritsaholic. I don't think there's a twelve step treatment for what I've got.
All I have now is this cautionary tale: Young people, beware that first box of grits. People might tell you "It's a Southern thing", but that doesn't make you immune. Someone once licked a psychedelic toad even before they knew it would get them high, so don't think this can't happen to you. If you're one of those people who have not bought into the whole 'eggs are bad for your cholesterol' thing, I'm warning you: put your eggs on top of your grits at your own peril.
Don't say I didn't warn you!
