Monday Morning After Incredible Rescue

In the America I grew up with, the story of the rescue of the downed U.S. aviator would be made into a stars and stripes movie. Today’s Hollywood not so much.

  2. Gen. Patton on profanity: “When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember.

    You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag.”

  3. Gen. Patton was a little bit whacked. Another general, a certain General George Washington sought to squelch all profanity among the troops, and that general did pretty well too.

  4. True about General Washington but then it was a much different era.

  5. Gen. Washington was in an era where they didn’t need to hold POWs. The British who surrendered could be just sent back to England on their word of honor that they would not return to America to fight again. Different for sure.

  7. Washington had some choice words for General Charles Lee. Just not confirmed what those words were.

  9. I known that CNN is a cable network and not held to the FCC profanity guidelines as ABC, NBC etc are…but does the CNN anchor, this time Jessica Dean, have to read Trump’s post word for word and actually say the f word on air. She actually said it twice. People can read it. It was up on the screen in its original form then later changed to f******. Another reporter being interview by Dean even refused to say the word. But Dean couldn’t contain herself and said it again.

  10. He must be dead. The day the sham jury in NYC found Trump “guilty” we waited all day for Robbie to show up and take a victory lap but he never did. The only thing that could have stopped him is death.

  14. I cringe when Trump goes into his some of his scathing diatribes, especially when laced with F****. However, when faced with available options – him or Dems – there is no other choice but Trump. I do think, though, he would strengthen his threats if they were modified to sound firm, decisive and less like he was throwing a frustrated temper tantrum.

    I tried to find anything about an obituary for a pilot in the Louisville area named Robert around the the time Amoral Scumbag disappeared, nothing came up.

    Strangely enough, he was one of the ones who seemed most interested that HHR continue and posted regularly at the beginning.

    If he died, it was very sudden, and as a pilot he probably could not have been much past 60 at most. He never mentioned anything about a family in all the years he was here. He was definitely Catholic and a pilot and lived in the Louisville area The only company with a really large hub in Louisville is UPS, so maybe he flew for them. But American, American Eagle, Southwest and other commuter airlines fly out of there.

    Did anyone know if he had a FB page?

  24. Looks like Iran, according to Reuters, has rejected any deal with Trump that doesn’t include the following terms:

    1. Iron clad guarantees that they not be attacked again.
    2. No agreement on their part to open the Strait of Hormuz as part of any ceasefire. I guess they want us to agree to allow them to operate a permanent toll booth there. LOL
    3. Reparation payments from the United States and Israel. LOL

    Well, good luck with all that fellows. I guess they are operating on the false assumption that brain dead Biden is still in the WH.

    But it is fitting that he is now relegated to a small bit parts on MSM when they want the obligatory “bipartisan” attack on Trump.

    According to Time, a 4% (now 2%) chance is “closely watched”. It also translates in into “heightened attention”.

    While the northwest Georgia district is one of the most Republican‑leaning in the state, prediction markets show traders assigning Democrat Shawn Harris a small—but closely watched—chance of pulling off a major upset

    On Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market, Republican candidate Clay Fuller is trading at roughly a 96–97 percent implied probability of winning the runoff, with Harris priced around 3–4 percent. The market has seen significant trading volume for a House special election, suggesting heightened attention to a race that would normally be considered a foregone conclusion.

    Polymarket, an offshore prediction platform, shows nearly identical odds. As of Monday morning, Fuller was priced at about 96 percent, compared with roughly 4 percent for Harris, with more than $200,000 wagered on the outcome. In prediction market terms, those prices indicate strong confidence that Republican voters consolidate behind Fuller after a splintered first round.”
