A California woman kicked out of the military 60 years ago for being a lesbian has finally had her rights restored. In
1955, Airman Second Class Helen Grace James was targeted and investigated by Air Force officials for her sexuality, part of a massive effort to remove gay and lesbian service members known as the "Lavender Scare." Now, at 90, and living in California, James filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month against the U.S. Air Force seeking to upgrade her "undesirable" discharge to "honorable." This week, James's attorney received word the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records...

New York Times Writer Wonders if Bowe Bergdahl Will Get Honorable Discharge

New York Times writer Helene Cooper must be posting her articles from an alternate reality. It
is the only conclusion that one can reach when reading her reaction to the announcement today that Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who was swapped last year for five Guantanamo prisoners, will be charged with desertion. So what is a major concern for Cooper? It is her speculation as to whether Bergdahl can still get an honorable discharge if found guilty and if not, how that will affect his job opportunities. I kid you not. Try not to slap your head too hard in exasperation while...

Eight months after his communist social media postings and conduct caused a conservative media firestorm, 2nd Lieutenant Spenser Rapone (better known as "the commie cadet") is reportedly being processed out of the Army with the most severe type of military administrative discharge -- an "other than honorable discharge." Rapone,
you may recall, is the avowed Marxist and Antifa supporter who posted pictures of himself on social media promoting pro-communist messages and expressing an intention to infiltrate the U.S. military. He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in May of 2016, and had been serving in the 2nd Brigade Combat Team,...

"The Administration strongly opposes section 716, which would detract from readiness and limit a commander's options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination," the White House argued. "To
enable a uniformed force to fight with discipline, commanders must have the ability to give orders and take appropriate disciplinary measures."

Honorable Hands

I once sponsored a support group for abused woman ; at the first meeting I started off with the question “Why am I here?” To
break the ice, I offered my reason first and answered “because I was once abused, and the hands that wounded me and held me down against my will are not the hands to look at. In my recovery the loving and kind hands of Jesus came to me like the good Samaritan. When Jesus offered His hands they were not manicured hands of a king on a high throne, they were the carpenters hands they...

Yes, it’s honorable to work for Trump

NY Post ^
| AUG. 21, 2017 | Rich Lowry
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin took the highly unusual step over the weekend of publicly explaining why he won’t resign. He
responded to Yale classmates who had written an impassioned open letter urging him to quit in protest over what they called (ridiculously over-stating their case) President Trump’s “support of Nazism and white supremacy.” There was no reason for Mnuchin — a busy man and one of the most important economic officials on the planet — to bother replying unless he feels a little defensive. After Charlottesville, Va., the question of the propriety of serving in the Trump administration gained new...

Today ( Chuck Schumer tweeted this) about his comrade-in-arms, Dick Durbin: "To impugn @SenatorDurbin’s integrity is disgraceful. Whether
you agree with him on the issues or not, he is one of the most honorable members of the Senate. Actually, Durbin is one of the slimiest members of the Senate. And that covers lots of territory.[snip]In addition to making stuff up, Durbin is willing, if not eager, to impugn the integrity of those who deserve better. During the Bush administration, he (he compared) American soldiers to Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot.

New Hampshire may well be the end of the campaign trail for more GOP hopefuls, as Iowa was for Rand Paul, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee. All three ran largely positive campaigns and comported themselves with dignity and grace when they bowed out. Unfortunately,
the same can't be said for some of those hanging on by a thread in New Hampshire. Chris Christie and Jeb Bush, in particular, have decided their best chance to stay in the race is to attack other candidates. Chris Christie seems to be reverting to form as a guy with a mean streak, something he...

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called-out former Secretary of State John Kerry Monday; slamming the senior Obama aide for creating “one of the worst deals ever made.” Sanders
was speaking with reporters during her daily press briefing when she was asked to comment on Kerry’s “shadow diplomacy” regarding the failing Iranian nuclear agreement. “John Kerry’s shadow diplomacy: How does that impact the deliberations?” asked one reporter. “I don’t think it impacts it at all,” fired Back Sanders. “I think the President spoke about that pretty clearly and I don’t think that we would take advice from somebody who...

| 8/31/2014 | By ANI | ANI
U.S Secretary of State John Kerry has stated that airstrikes alone will not be effective in defeating the genocidal ISIS militants. In
an op-ed which appeared in the New York Times, Kerry suggested a global coalition using political, humanitarian, economic, law enforcement and intelligence tools to support military force in order to tackle ISIS, reported the Guardian. The U.S Secretary of State also added that he and defense secretary Chuck Hagel would be using Nato summit-scheduled for next week at Celtic Manor in Wales- to meet European ministers and to seek to "enlist the broadest possible assistance."

John Kerry negotiated directly with North Vietnamese communists in Paris before and while Henry Kissinger tried to get us out of Vietnam without destroying the South Vietnamese left behind when our troops abandoned that country. In
that of course, he followed several years of violently and very publicly protesting the Vietnam War after spending only 91 days overseas. In both of these, he was obviously opposing official US policy, and by meeting with the enemy deliberately and while official negotiations were going on, he was deliberately sabotaging the official US position. But that was not the only time, nor the...

Obama Told us He’s Honorable — But He’s Just Another Liar

New York Post ^
| October 30, 2016 | Kyle Smith
At least President Obama is honest. Or
so goes the common perception. He tried, maybe he made mistakes, the other side was mean to him, but through it all, he didn’t lie. That view got smithereened this week. It was always hard to believe the president’s repeated claim that he didn’t know his own secretary of state was using an off-the-books e-mail server to avoid public scrutiny, in the process virtually guaranteeing that she would commit multiple felonies by taking classified information into the open. Now we know Obama was lying. His own aides said so, in e-mails uncovered by...
