Hello My Dear Friends! On Friday a Veteran, suffering from PTSD, jumped the fence at the White House, ran across the lawn and walked into the North Portico doors. That's where the First Family lives. Luckily it was a Friday, so the President and his family were already on vacation! Have you ever seen an over zealous fan run out on to a baseball field? They are always tackled before they reach any of the players. The President doesn't need the Secret Service, He needs Stadium Security. Those guys don't mess around!
A teacher in a Washington, D.C. public school gave her middle school students a homework assignment; 'Compare George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler'. LOL! A few parents were a little ticked off when they learned of this. School officials said it was not part of the standard curriculum and that the teacher used poor judgement. Gee, you think? The teacher apologized for her "poor judgement" and was forgiven. Do you think the outcome would have been the same if that same teacher asked students to compare Barak Obama to Adolf Hitler? Neither do I.
Three Afghan Army Soldiers, in Cape Cod for a "training exercise" disappeared during a trip to the mall in Hyannis, Now, I'm not sure which army training exercise actually takes place in a mall but, one would think whatever it is, it would have been more enlightening to do it on Black Friday. Anyway, it seems the missing officers were found in Niagara Falls! Yup. They were headed to Canada. That's not the funny part. This is the first time these annual training exercises have been help on US soil since 2006. The Commander of the Joint Base Cape Cod said hosting the event was "a valuable opportunity for the Massachusetts National Guard and is personally rewarding". Dude! Your National Guard lost three soldiers! You might want to revisit the definition of "Guard".
Finally, you may be interested to know that, last week, 2 US F-22 fighter jets intercepted 6 Russian Military planes 55 nautical miles off the coast of Alaska. They included two refueling tankers, 2 Mig-31 fighter jets and 2 Bear long-range bombers. Apparently the Government didn't think we needed to know that. NORAD confirms that several hours after that, 2 Canadian CF-18 fighter jets intercepted 2 long-range Russian Bear Bombers 40 nautical miles off the Canadian coastline. The Russian planes, in both cases, turned back after the jets were scrambled. There were no confrontations. Maybe we should call out the Massachusetts National Guard or the Secret Service to protect us. Oh, wait.....
