Good morning , stars & stripes forever. You are welcome. Don’t let exit read that. LOL
Good morning, Rusty. You are welcome.
Good morning, exit. You are welcome. Looks good to me, too.
Am traveling the next few days.
Going to see my kids and grandkids—first time in over 7 months.
Hope the grandkids recognize us!
Now, you all play nice, and you can have my share of the bacon!
(Remember to pray for POTUS—my spidey sense is tingling. But something is up.)
GREAT!!!!
Have a wonderful visit with the family.
Only kidding,stars!
STEAK!!!! What have we done to deserve this?
Thank you so much and good morning to you, lysie.
Have a great time, exit. We will miss you.
LOL
Good morning, Gran. You are welcome.
That's what I was thinking and Big Bird de Blasio and Cuomo only have themselves to blame.
But, of course, they will find some way to blame Trump.
Churches and their congregations are getting very creative.
You can’t keep good people from the Lord.
Thanks,LG.
Out the door in a few.
NIKK..Let me say Google Chrome is doing everything in its power to cover up and say this is false information. THIS is how our media and search engines WORK against the Republicans.

How tough was that? Apparently too tough for two of the nation’s top leaders. Later the same day, May 3, Vice President Joe Biden let the cat out of the bag. While the press had been reporting SEAL Team 6 carried out the mission, no one in government had confirmed that fact.
*********************************
NIKK..this actually happened at the US NATO chief Adm. James Stavridis was honored.............Biden said.
********************
*******************
**************
Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees. Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.
***********************
The SEALs killed bin Laden on Monday
Biden says again
*****************************
********************
*****************
Folks, I’d be remiss also if I didn’t say an extra word about the incredible events, extraordinary events of this past Sunday. As Vice President of the United States, as an American, I was in absolute awe of the capacity and dedication of the entire team, both the intelligence community, the CIA, the SEALs. It just was extraordinary.
********************************
NIKK...Biden said it TWICE.......AND it was then confirmed that SAME evening from CIA director Leon Panetta........WHO told PBS that decision to shoot bin Laden ..”WAS A SPLIT-SECOND ACTION ON THE PART OF THE SEALs.”
************************
****************************
**********************
THIS deadly INFORMATION then made Defense SECRETARY Robert Gates ..at Camp Lejeune have to walk back ALL these Deadly SLIP UPS by BIDEN with the help of Leon Panetta by giving this defense line.....(((( The one thing I would tell you, though, is that I think there has been a consistent and effective effort to protect the identities of those who participated in the raid, and I think that has to continue. We are very concerned about the security of our families — of your families and our troops, and also these elite units that are engaged in things like that. And without getting into any details, I would tell you that when I met with the team last Thursday, they expressed a concern about that, and particularly with respect to their families. As you say, I can’t get into the details in this forum, but we are looking at what measures can be taken to pump up the security.)))))
****************************************
***************************************

NIKK...THIS was several years ago and BIDEN had loose lips then wanting to score points for himself over the deaths of our US SEALs .

Some blame Biden for SEAL Team 6 deaths
The families of three fallen Navy SEAL Team Six members say President Obama and Vice President Biden are culpable for the deaths of their sons for publicly identifying the unit that killed Osama bin Laden and pursuing policies that coddle Muslims and put our own troops at a tactical disadvantage.
SEAL Team Six carried out the daring raid in Pakistan in early May 2011. Three months later, three members of the unit were among 38 killed in a Chinook helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Twenty-five of the dead were special operations forces. Larry Klayman is founder of Freedom Watch, a WND columnist and the attorney representing three of the families who lost their sons. He said the Obama administration carelessly and illegally revealed the role of SEAL Team Six shortly after announcing the successful mission to kill bin Laden.

When he was the Vice President, he did the most STUPID, unthinkable thing for a man in his position. He revealed the names and the unit that killed Bin Laden; “On May 3 2011, at a national event in Washington, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. did the unthinkable, he publicly revealed the identity of the special-operations unit responsible for bin Laden’s killing, just to show that he “is in the know”.
His reckless action put at risk the lives of every member of Seal Team 6. The Taliban and other jihadists eager to avenge bin Laden now knew which unit to target. Stunned and shocked, Seal Team Six members immediately realized they were going to be hunted by al Qaeda sympathizers.

I certainly concur with you my friend CSM Charles Hayden that.......
it was deplorable that former VPOTUS Joe Biden outed SEAL Team 6 and the names of the SEALS that took out Bin Laden........

August 2011 shootdown of the Extortion 17 response
As far as I am concerned, it is very likely the Taliban was aware that:
[1] the former POTUS Obama’s rules of engagement prohibited firing from the CH-47 Chinook;
[2] the Taliban potentially practiced and trained how to lure out some of SEAL Team 6 members.
[3] the Taliban most likely understood that attacking a special operations unit [in this case Rangers] would draw a special operations response [Rangers, SEAL Team 6, unnamed unit members].
[4] in all likelihood they positioned trained Taliban rocket-propelled grenade weapon operators on the potential routes to the ambush.
“At a Pentagon briefing on Monday, May 2, 2011, a senior defense official was asked if it was a Navy SEAL team that found and killed the world’s most wanted man. The terse and proper response was: “Not going to comment on units or numbers.”
Then on May 3, Vice President Joe Biden got up to speak at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel marking the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council to spill the beans about Adm. James Stavridis and “the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.”
From that moment, the families believe, the Taliban looked for an opportunity for revenge, and a government more concerned with politically correct rules of engagement than victory helped them get it.
Doug Hamburger, whose son Patrick was killed, called the incident an “ambush” that could have been prevented.
Karen Vaughn says she wants to know why her son Aaron and his team were not using special operations aircraft that have defenses in place to help allow helicopters to go deep behind enemy lines.
The night her son Aaron died, he was in a helicopter that was built in the 1960s and last retrofitted in 1985.
Like Benghazi, where rescue teams were ordered to “stand down,” suppressive fire was forbidden as the Chinook flew into disaster.
The rules of engagement prevented suppressive fire from being aimed at the tower firing on the Chinook.
Why?
Billy Vaughn, Aaron Vaughn’s father, recalled how a three-star admiral explained this breach to the grieving families: U.S. forces couldn’t fire back, the admiral said, because “we want to win hearts and minds.”
Like that other war micro-managed by politicians, Vietnam? Perhaps that explains why there was no gunship escort that night.
“We go to Dover to see bodies, and we’re all in the hangar down there,” Charles Strange, father of slain SEAL Michael Strange, recalled. “And President Obama comes up to me and he says, ‘Mr. Strange’ — and he grabs me by the shoulders — ‘Michael changed the way America lives.’ I grabbed Mr. President by the shoulders and I said: ‘I don’t need to know about my son. I need to know what happened, Mr. President.’”
Charles Strange says the president told him. “Mr. Strange, we’re going to look into this very, very, very deep.” Since then, Strange says, “I haven’t heard nothing.” As with Benghazi, neither have we.”
Breaking News 1,763,000 jobs created in July. Wall Street was looking for 1.6 million.
After yesterday’s statement, Sleepy Joe Biden is no longer worthy of the Black Vote!
Yum...corn on the cob.
I'm sure that is a big factor. Added to the general distrust & hatred by both the right & left of government.
