[The Mayor]

Refreshingly first... : )

Thank you Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Refreshingly for sure. d:o)

[The Mayor]

It’s nice when I am home in front of my computer at 9PM.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome home from the Round Table, Sand...((HUGS))...poor Zeus.

A Doggy Doctor visit seems in order for a seizure. Hope it is something minor.

How is Zeus’ mom doing? CIA and FBI friends ok?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Time to relax....I’m home now too. They used to shut down the internet every Thursday night at 6pm, but haven’t done it very often for months.

Tonight, in mid post, they took it down. Must be urgent maintenance on something.

[John Leland 1789]

THEY aren’t the ones who are wrong. The ones who have nearly led them over a cliff are.

But most of the enlisted ranks, especially the females, do NOT believe about America what my parents believed about America or her freedoms from the 1930s through the 1960s. They love America, but it is NOT the same America that they love. They do not have the moral fabric my father had. They do not have the same view toward manhood, womanhood, family, and childrearing. It is not the same America they are defending . . . . they only THINK it is.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, JJ...((HUGS))...jets all fed and put to bed?

Hope all is well with you and yours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mac...*HUGS*

Permission Granted!

[luvie]

No, it isn’t the same, but they do what they can to defend the one that they have inherited. And they love it and will die for it just like our fathers did when called upon to do so.

I am in a military family, too, and I can tell you that my son has the same goals and the same love for country as my husband did and my father did. He is career and will do what it takes to keep us safe. I have no qualms about THAT!

[John Leland 1789]

The General Staff and Admiralty do not even believe the same, otherwise, there would be NO open sodomites serving in the military. There would also be NO females in combat or combat-like roles, or in special forces. The top brass would have stood shoulder-to-shoulder and not capitulated on these issues.

Any soldier who believes what my father believed (and what I believed while serving from 1973 to 1980) believes that because they were taught true American history and heritage. VERY, very few young people graduating from high school and entering the armed forces believe in the maintenance of America's heritage.

But you didn't read the last paragraph of my first post on this subject. I layed the blame on the education system and the perverted, reprobate national leadership, not on the soldiers.

[SandRat]

How is Zeus’ mom is having her ups an downs? We just have to console/hug her.

CIA and FBI cousins are doing OK.

[John Leland 1789]

I would like to have a list of the names of the U.S. soldiers who gave up their lives or limbs for America, thinking they were doing so to preserve our liberties, on the very day the American electorate voted in a genuine Marxist to be president and commander in chief.

I would like to have a list of the names of the U.S. soldiers who gave up either life or limb, thinking they were keeping us free from tyranny, on the day that that genuine Marxist was innagurated and actually became their president and COC.

I would like to have the names of the U.S. soldiers who gave up up either life or limb on the day that that genuine Marxist signed a defacto Marxist health care law that will rob all of us of our liberties, and provide the precedent for the total capitulation of our beloved Republic to Marxist Socialism in every area of our existance.

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...how is son doing? The little wahines?

Last evening I looked at my thermometer....40 degrees! Hillside and south had lots of wind and more high temps. All south and Hillside buses were canceled this morning. It’s slippery out there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good friends to have. (((HUGS)))

She’s lucky to have parents that really, really care. So many are alone these days...on their own.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...my favorite bird and my favorite colors. ((HUGS))

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha again Night Owl! ((Hugs))Everybody is doing fine. The little wahines are growing like weeds and chattering up a storm. Speaking of storms, we almost had one yesterday. Winds and surf that blew a boat away from its mooring. Luckily it was saved.

Heard a lot of Alaskan weather over the past couple of weeks....snow, rain, more snow and rescue missions. But what does one expect in winter?

I expect the Iditarod results, the last great race.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Kathy. How's it going?

[Kathy in Alaska]
