Flush with victory, combative Erdogan demands Turkey constitution change
Flush with an election victory, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan demanded constitutional change that he wants to gain sweeping powers, and vowed to "liquidate" Kurdish guerrillas in a defiant speech that gave no quarter to those hoping for conciliation.

Vladimir Putin continues the late education of Barack Obama
The big chief of the Russians has challenged the theology of the Church of Global Warming in advance of a convocation of nations this month in Paris to come up with ideas for monetizing a myth.
Vladimir Putin recognized opportunity, and boldly and without apology asserted dominion in the Middle East. Now he has challenged the fraud of global warming, or climate change, or whatever this weeks correct label might be.
Army: Young soldiers overestimate likely civilian pay
About 140,000 departing soldiers received Army transition services in the past year, but many of them may have unrealistic expectations of what they can earn in the civilian sector.
Young soldiers aren't the only ones overestimating their market value in the civilian world. I know a few retired E-9's and O-6's wondering what the heck happened during transition and why they had to settle for something... different...
140,000 out in the last year!!!! Who's left?
The Marines' last stand - Thank God for the Marines
Its the last stand for the Marines, the last stand for reality, the last stand for the military to function as a cohesive war fighting organization and not a Santa Monica yoga class.
In America 180, everything is upside down. What kind of madcap lunatic asylum do we live in when the military has to ask for exemptions to keep women out of combat?
This is what happens when policy is being dictated by radicals whose idea of combat is elbowing for a place in line at the Bloomingdales lunch counter. This is what happens when the militarys leaders are gutless moral cowards.
The Navy surrendered its masculinity in 1991 after the Tailhook Affair and has evolved into the Love Boat with guns and fast planes. The Air Force disappeared over the horizon sometime in the late 90's. The Army is advertising their 37 year old Mommy Ranger and sucking down enough Kool Aid to clean out half the grocery stores and lemonade stands in America. The Pentagon has become a modern day Jonestown.
Get 'em outta here!

Want to tour a missile silo?
Thanks, Naomi
A few years from now, one of the nuclear launch centers where these workers, known as missileers, were stationed, will be open to visitors. The Air Force has been restoring the missile alert facility, called Quebec-01, as a Wyoming state historic site.
Editor went down in a Titan silo in Kansas back in the 70's. The silo commander was a short little captain who scared the heck out of me with his swagger.
And so it begins!

Office of Civil Rights says disguised boy has right to shower with girls
Thanks, Dave
Federal education authorities, staking out their firmest position yet on an increasingly contentious issue, found Monday that an Illinois school district violated anti-discrimination laws when it did not allow a transgender student who identifies as a girl and participates on a girls sports team to change and shower in the girls locker room without restrictions.

Accuracy in reporting the Weather or this Winter is going to be record breaking Cold!
Thanks, George
It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'
'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'
'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied, 'it's going to be a very cold winter.'
The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'
'Absolutely,' the man replied. 'It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'
'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.
The weatherman replied, 'The Indians are collecting a shitload of firewood!
CONFUSION IN THE USMC OVER OBAMA'S ORDERS
Thanks, Tom
Well, Obama signed the bill that allows gays to serve openly in the Military.
No more don't ask don't tell.
But what he has really done is cause confusion in the ranks that could easily cost Marine lives.
This is what can now happen.
You know that Marines are trained to immediately obey orders.
So imagine .........You're a Marine in a combat situation; the enemy is firing at you, and running toward your position.
The guy next to you is openly gay.
Then your Squad Leader yells out .........."Shoot the cocksuckers!"
Do you see the confusion here?
