Fani Willis is disqualified from prosecuting Trump election case in Georgia.

What will be her legacy?

The embarrassment to Georgia?

Of course.

Which is the worse embarrassment, her 'judicial' activity...

or

She was in such a hurry to invade the courtroom... 

From an adjacent office, she had been watching the ongoing proceedings and becoming enraged.

"Lies!" she bellowed.

I happened to be watching Fox News when her unexpected tirade occurred.  A reporter casually mentioned her dress was on backwards.

Thinking this reporter was being snarky, I glanced over and did, indeed, note this idiot had her dress on backwards...

Poor grammar, inarticulate and quite a repulsive individual.

In her feral rage and desire to inappropriately interfere with court proceedings, she...

PUT HER DRESS ON BACKWARDS!

Yes, Martha - backwards.

 I yearn for Dick the Butcher...

The Murder Hornet

The term "murder hornet" refers to the Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), which is the largest hornet in the world and is known for its potent sting. This species is native to Asia but was found in North America starting in late 2019, raising concerns about its potential as an invasive species. 

Whew!

I have previously alluded to my justifiable horror at a Democrat elected to office in 1976, as I was on the verge of being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army.

Democrats hated the military; as an Army brat, it became readily apparent who the Good Guys were.

Anyone who did not support or, worse, said anything bad about our military and, by extension, my father, was the Enemy.

Filthy hippies spitting on young soldiers returning from the horrors of the Vietnam war, ordered to go there by the Democrat LBJ.

You remember, President Lyndon Johnson who reluctantly signed the Republican-backed Civil Rights Act.

The eternal optimist, LBJ uttered those famous words:

"Hell, we'll have them niggers votin' Democrat for two hundred years!"

Initially, I held a glimmer of hope that President Carter, as a consequence of his being a Naval Academy graduate, would   temper a bit the cowardly tendencies and lack of patriotism so characteristic of the Dems.

That was short-lived.

Wikipedia - 

Jimmy Carter negotiated the Torrijos-Carter Treaties in 1977, which allowed Panama to gain control of the Panama Canal by the year 1999, ending U.S. control that had been in place since 1903. This decision was part of Carter's efforts to address growing resentment in Latin America regarding U.S. dominance. 

...growing resentment in Latin America regarding U.S. dominance.

   Was Fort Sherman in Panama hurting someone's feelings?

Headquarters for Southern Command.

Home of the United States Army Jungle Operations Training Center, Fort Sherman.

Special Operations training was extremely important in the interdiction of asymmetrical warfare groups, narcotics and rogue dictators.

Cowardly dumbass Democrat...

Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders...

The resentment to

Can't blame them.

  The ramifications of Captain Cook's three visits (again, the third was NOT a charm...) - a legacy of gonorrhea, syphilis, influenza, cholera, tuberculosis, the mumps, measles, smallpox, and leprosy...

The Indians and Europeans swapped bacterial and viral pathogens that resulted in astonishing numbers of infections.

Again, 

"One night with Venus, a lifetime with Mercury."

A similar phenomenon occurred with the construction of the Panama Canal, hence the 20,000 deaths during the French effort.

President Roosevelt appointed William Crawford Gorgas as chief sanitary officer.  By 1906, he had eradicated yellow fever and contained malaria during the ten year construction project.

The focus was on control of the vector, the mosquito.  Kerosene was spread on the surface of standing water in order to prevent the egg laying of the mosquito.

That historic battle with these parasites was continued by yours truly with Japanese Encephalitis while I was deployed with the Second Medical Battalion in Korea.

Please, is there anything, anything at all, I can do to make up for our bad behavior in Central and South America?

The Panama Canal, you say?  

Consider it done!

Now, decades later, and after the United States built it, our commercial traffic is charged exorbitant fees for transit through the Canal.

Even the United States Navy cannot just pass through freely. 

Remember, China owns both Atlantic and Pacific entries.

President Trump rightfully feels we are getting screwed.

So, he wants it back.

The Sergeant Major isn't the only one happy since President Trump's proclamation at the 2024 Turning Point USA Americafest.

And an enormous supply of rare earth elements...

No, Martha, not Rare Earth...

That was a great concert...

Also the first concert I attended upon my arrival to Chattanooga in 1972...

Certain rare earth elements have a unique property of  phosphorescence when exposed to energy sources, such as x rays.

This allowed dentistry, historically at the forefront of radiation hygiene, to reduce ionizing radiation exposure to patients by 90% (!).

More importantly, they are necessary components of more than 200 products across a wide range of applications. 

Nice ring to it...

CSM Adkins joined Class #3 of the Army Sergeants Major Academy in El Paso, Texas.

The U.S. Army official publication:

 Adkins' previous awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal with one Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster and "V" Device, the Purple Heart with two Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal with Bronze Clasp and Five Loops, the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with one Silver Service Star and one Bronze Service Star, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Meritorious Unit Citation, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with "60" Device, the Republic of Vietnam Bravery Medal with Brass Star, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Bronze Star, the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palm Device, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Special Forces Tab, the U.S. Army Master Parachutist Badge, the Vietnamese Parachutist Badge - Two Awards, the Expert Badge with Rifle and Pistol Bars, the Sharpshooter Badge with Carbine Bar, and the Marksman Badge with Machinegun Bar. 

 CSM Adkins' impending retirement presented a dilemma for DoD and the Pentagon:

With their new CINC back stabbing the American people, the military was potentially facing the most consequential threat to national security since World War II.

If transit through the Panama Canal was impeded, The United States Navy may not be able to guarantee global passage through maritime sea lanes.

Remember, Carter was a Naval Academy graduate.  More than anyone else, this Democrat traitor knew the value of the Panama Canal in the conduct of global naval operations.

Nevertheless, his fawning over a Panamanian dictator enabled him to overlook, or simply disregard, SOCOM.

And Fort Sherman.

WIKI:

 The United States Special Operations Command is the unified combatant command charged with overseeing the various special operations component commands of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force of the United States Armed Forces.

 The command is part of the Department of Defense and is the only unified combatant command created by an Act of Congress. 

CSM Adkins is about to retire.

Which senior NONCOM is available to replace this stud?

First of all, he must be a Command Sergeant Major.

This requirement severely limited the number of available candidates.

Further, CSM Adkins was a living legend.

"Look no further than the Commandant of our NCO Academy", CSM Adkins advised.

  He continued with his quite confident recommendation of my father.

   Without question, from an infantry perspective, CSM Daw owned an impressive record.

He was selected as an 'advisor' in order to train South Vietnamese soldiers in combat, as well as inserting himself into battle.

His conspicuous bravery while providing egress for his fellow soldiers during Tet resulted in the awarding of the Silver Star.

His selection for jungle warfare training with the 25th Infantry Division was further testimony to CSM Daw's skill set.

His subsequent Drill Instructor achievements and Vietnam service earned his being selected for assignment to the prestigious Columbia Military Academy.

"Most importantly, given the situation in which the President has placed us, look who DoD selected to lead the transition efforts of the WAC.", he continued.

With the impending closure of Fort Sherman, a steady hand was needed.

So my father, CSM Ted Daw, was not able to attend his son's commissioning and graduation from UTC.

SGM Daw's unprecedented efforts in the integration of the Women's Army Corps into the male ranks were recognized at the highest levels at the Pentagon.     

 I am proud of what he did at Fort McClellan.  The SGM owed his success to his Battalion Commander, LTC Clark.

 She was not an impediment.  She was a force multiplier.

In terms of the United States military, the dissolution of the WAC (in my view, a mistake...) was absolutely historic.

Those efforts propelled him to the NCO Academy at Fort Sherman and the top NCO in the Southern Hemisphere.

CSM Ted Daw sure had to fill some big shoes.

He did, in fact, make CSM Adkins proud.

United States Army Medal of Honor recipient (1934-2020) 

I suspect CSM Adkins is leading Special Ops Angels in God's desire to cleanse the evil Demoncrats and all Prince of Persia acolytes.

Yes, Martha, Special Forces pioneered those remote detonations of C-4.

  Ask Hezbollah about the cell phones and pagers...

The same binoculars I used for forward observer duties served me well in The Hunt for Culex.

I love long legs on a lady, but not in this case...

And, in contrast to this guy, our prof a was a big man.  An imposing figure, indeed, he made that first day in Parasitology truly unforgettable.  

The microscopy available for use excited this young cadet; it was quite the departure from my microscopes as a youth.

The dissecting scope and I spent hours together, rivalling time spent with my wife. Highly detailed drawings of parasites, including unicellular organisms, provided a much deeper insight into some quite amazing creatures. 

 On many, many occasions, I thanked God I didn't live in some of those tropical zones where some really dangerous critters lie in wait.  The Trematodes, Cestodes and Nematodes were of particular interest.  As I had Biochemistry under my belt, these little worms had some quite intricate and amazing biomolecular mechanisms that provided what they did not possess naturally.

Yes, Martha, that makes them parasites. 

  Not to be confused with Demoncrat parasites.

Trematodes require two hosts, one usually a snail.

Just one of many reasons to eschew escargot.

We have our own dumbasses - Demoncrat vermin who just want us to eat bugs...

That ain't where I get my protein.

 And many times exit there, also.

Don't know which is better:

Regurgitation or ...

Martha, you're right - the Demoncrats.

The above photograph reflects one of the most tragic occurrences in American political history:

Baby  Alice Lee Roosevelt's  

Mother, Alice Hathaway Lee, and grandmother, Martha, are not in the picture.

Two days after Alice's birth, on Valentine's Day, her mother and grandmother died.  

A grieving father -  "The light has gone out of my life." 

Only Teddy Roosevelt's faith in God gave him the strength to move forward from his role as a New York assemblyman to become the President of the United States.

And overcoming childhood asthma.

 Rough Riders 

As the United States confirmed in Southeast Asia, jungle warfare is so much different than traditional warfare experienced in WW I and II.

The Enemy can conceal himself readily with the abundant camouflage on the 'battlefield'.

"You can't hit what you can't see..."

 The Fifth Corps' newly formed Gatling Gun Detachment participated in the U.S. Army's first use of machine gun fire for mobile fire support in offensive combat.  

Thanks to Colonel Roosevelt for keeping the 'O' in 'MOSS-MOUSE'.

Sweet Vulcan...

July, 1975

Fort Reilly, KS

Those few seconds on this cannon, sending a few hundred rounds a mile downrange, still illicit my epinephrine response...

As an Infantry Warrior, the SGM always ensures logistics is the top of the Warning Order.

When I shared with him my desire to leave Memphis for the summer in order to acquire further clinical skills in East Tennessee, his first thought:

"You can't accomplish your mission on a motorcycle.  I have a Pinto wagon that would serve you well; besides, I would enjoy some riding time on your 750 F..."

So we swapped for that summer of 1980.  

The Sergeant Major always providing support...

In Memphis, I was able to bungee cord everything on a sissy bar/rack (not seen here) in the short commute from our apartment to Union Avenue.

Next door to where Elvis passed...

No, Martha, never saw him.

And Patty and I were in Memphis the day after he died....

Nope, this iconic figure is with God...

At any rate, Patty continued the family tradition of transportation company employment.  She initially started with Overnite Transportation; I trained her in Chattanooga.

REBEL MOTOR FREIGHT...

Just over the Mississippi border, I worked as a billing clerk the first summer in Memphis - 1978.

That was the only summer our class was not in the clinics or classes.  

 THE 1978 MEMPHIS FIRE AND POLICE STRIKES  

And the only summer in my many years on this earth, I lived in a city with the Police and Firemen on strike, resulting in a city-wide curfew.  (!)

Further, as a consequence of my hours of employment at Rebel Motor Freight, I had to violate the midnight curfew.

I was never stopped, however...

The Memphis PD was on strike.

With August 1978 looming and the beginning of the second  year of this adventure, Patty becomes the bread winner:

I knew Patty had the clerical and typing skills to replace me when the second year of dental school started.

She left Overnite and received a healthy increase in pay...

The Mustang Mach I was now providing transportation for my wife...

No bungee cords needed!

That little four cylinder beauty handled the mountains quite nicely, I must add.

After V-8 power with the mustang, I was pleasantly surprised its little cousin made my excursions, exploring the mountains after leaving the office, so pleasurable.

The almost depressing flat horizon of West Tennessee had me yearning for East Tennessee.

One afternoon, after a particularly lengthy sight seeing cruise around Jellico Mountain, all the Mountain Dew I had been consuming prompted me to pull off on the side of the road for a short walk in the woods.  

TMI, Martha?

Well, just when I was out of sight from the road and passing traffic:

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE BOY?"

Some good old boys were in an operation involving a different mountain dew...

I did an about face and found a tree a little closer to the highway...

I know, Martha, TMI...

Thanks to the Sergeant Major for the loan of this classic beauty and enabling me to be ready for my senior year.

 I was going to need to improve my bungee technique...

...lay my articulator (!).

Yes, Martha, my poorly restrained and quite expensive clinical necessity was gone.

Great start for a four year odyssey...

God smiled on me yet again; a good  citizen retrieved my lost instrument which was fortunately in a sturdy protective case.

The nice Southern lady contacted a local radio station which contacted the dental school.

I could not get her name and was unable to thank this nice person.

Thanks to God and a Southerner for her kindness...

 I will never forget an encounter with a rogue bungee cord detailed to me by a patient:

As this nice man and his wife lived in a beautiful cabin that was well off the road, sometimes he would use his four wheeler to get the mail.

One day, as he was securing a number of packages, he was attacked by a bungee cord that had become unhooked.  The cord had been stretched such that it lost its grasp of the four wheeler's frame and, with substantial force, recoiled.

Tragically, the hook of the bungee cord engaged with his right eye, subsequently blinding him.

I have never looked at bungee cords the same way again...
