More of this, please.

Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler, the co-writer and performer of the song, was himself a Green Beret medic. He wrote the song while recovering from a leg wound he received during his service in Vietnam. The song’s straightforward, narrative style and its focus on the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers struck a chord with the American public. It celebrated the Special Forces and their role in the ongoing conflict, reflecting the sentiments and respect of the American people towards their military during a tumultuous period in U.S. history.

/snip

Barry Sadler’s personal story is also noteworthy. After his military service and the success of his song, Sadler’s life took various turns. He wrote several novels and continued to record music, although he never replicated the monumental success of “The Ballad of the Green Berets.” His life was marked by both personal challenges and triumphs, and he remained a figure of significant interest due to his military service and musical career.

Sgt. Barry Sadler’s contribution to music and his portrayal of military life through “The Ballad of the Green Berets” have left a lasting legacy. His work is remembered for its emotional depth and its straightforward celebration of the courage and sacrifice of soldiers. The song remains one of the most recognizable military anthems in the United States, a testament to its powerful impact and the complex times during which it was created.

Overall, “The Ballad of the Green Berets” stands as a significant cultural artifact of the 1960s, reflecting the era’s conflicted feelings about war, duty, and patriotism. It encapsulates a period when music increasingly became a vehicle for political expression and personal identity, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel and the complexities of the American experience during the Vietnam War.

Lyrics:

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America’s best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Trained to live off nature’s land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America’s best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son’s chest
Make him one of America’s best
He’ll be a man they’ll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America’s best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

    You want to know why we can’t have a nice country anymore ? Because we elect deranged fools like Joe Biden who appoint dumb people like Bill Nelson to run critical agencies like NASA.

    “What do you think the Chinese are trying to get at, at the back side of the moon?” Rep. David Trone (D-MD) asked Nelson at a congressional hearing last week.

    “They are going to have a lander on the far side of the moon, which is the side which is always in dark. Uh, we’re not planning to go there,” he said.

    Trone followed up by asking, “And why not? What’s the benefit of doing so?”

    “We don’t know what’s on the back side of the moon, so, uh, that would be something that they would discover,” the NASA administrator told lawmakers on Capitol Hill. “But our decision is that it’s more profitable for us to go to the South Pole of the moon because that’s where we think the water is,” he added.

    This is startling. This is the 21st century. I’m not an astrophysicist, but I know we know plenty about the backside of the moon.

    Bill Nelson was a payload specialist in 1986 on a Columbia shuttle mission. He served as chair of the Space Subcommittee and for 6 years on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Cape Canaveral was in his district when he served in the House.

    First, Nelson exhibits the same kind of utter ignorance about basic space science as did congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) when she proclaimed on April 8, 2024 that the Moon “was made up mostly of gases.” Nelson says the “dark side” is always dark, when it is well known for many centuries that the back side of the Moon is sometimes referred to as the “dark side” not because it is dark, but because it is never visible to us on Earth, and until the space age no one knew what was there.

    Furthermore, since the 1960s however we have known what is there, even if Nelson is an ignoramus about these basic facts. Landing there to research it up close and in detail is a entirely laudable science goal, something American scientists have wanted to do for decades.

    China is simply doing it.

      I absolutely despise Bill Nelson, what a stupid Jackass. I well remember NASA letting him participate in the space program hoping to get better funding out of it. You’d think that if you were in charge of any agency that you’d at least know a modicum about the subject. Hell She Jack would be just as good. ~SPITS~

    Fishing for stolen vehicles

    

    The Texas Game Warden Marine Theft Investigation Unit conducted a saturation patrol over two days during the Sealy Big Bass Splash Tournament at Sam Rayburn Lake. As the largest amateur fishing tournament in the state, hundreds of participants from across the country competed for the best catch. MITU coordinated with San Augustin, Sabine, Angelina, Jasper, Tyler and Nacogdoches County Game Wardens to inspect 300 boats, 243 motors and 100 trailers. Wardens seized over $100,000 of equipment.

    If you’ve never heard of Linda Goldstein, Chief Rabbi of Gaza, you really need to check this out. It made my day.

    Remember the congressman who pulled the fire alarm to prevent a vote on the floor of the House ?

    Rep. Jamaal Bowman and his campaign were duped by the parody social-media account of the fake “Chief Rabbi of Gaza.” 

    The phony X account of “Rabbi Linda Goldstein” is infamous for spouting anti-Zionist vitriol to ensnare unsuspecting progressives unaware that it is satirical.

     

    The rabbi messaged Bowman about sponsoring a fundraiser for his Democratic primary campaign.

    and she caught this progressive moron running for Congress in New Jersey back in the fall,

    The campaign of Imani Oakley, a 31-year-old progressive activist running for Congress in Newark, thought it was in negotiations to organize a fundraiser with like-minded Linda Goldstein — the “chief rabbi” of Gaza — but instead were chatting up a Big Apple lawyer running a parody Twitter account.

    On the bizarre parody account, Rabbi Linda Goldstein warns Hamas fighters to practice social distancing in terror tunnels; posts photos of herself posing with a menorah made of Qassam rockets; and bills herself as the “Jewish issues advisor” to Hamas boss Ismail Haniyeh.

    I haven’t posted this recipe in years and now I realize the recipe is in the wind. I’ve made this since the mid-1980s, but it has been a awhile and I’m doing it from memory. It’s a warm weather dish I made for gatherings and parties.

    Cilantro Rice Salad

    2 cups uncooked brown rice (I prefer Texmati)(this yields 6 cups cooked)
    3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
    3/4 cup chopped orange bell pepper
    1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
    I cup chopped green onions
    1/2 cup chopped cilantro
    1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
    1/3 cup olive oil
    cracked black pepper
    Kosher salt
    6-8 cloves of garlic crushed

    Directions:
    Cook the rice, let cool, dump into a large bowl (6 cooked cups)
    Mix the 3 different bell peppers, green onions & cilantro into the rice

    Crush the garlic into the olive oil, add salt and pepper and mix in the lime juice thoroughly. Pour over the rice/bell pepper/cilantro mix and stir up thoroughly.

    Cover. Don’t chill it. Let it sit at room temperature. Bon appetit.

    OK this post is going to be two parts and I hope I can make my point so it’s understood. On the Five the other day they were talking about Biden’s interview with Howard Stern and his remark about debating Trump, then out of the blue, Richard Fowler made a comment about something Biden said about losing his wife and daughter and him contemplating suicide. This had something to do with mental illness and that it was good and brave that Biden mentioned this. WIH?! Where did this come from?! Well I just found out and the answer is easy, this was just the DNC’s latest “Talking Points” and you know about Talking Points, they go out like a Bat Signal to all the Sycophants to parrot over and over. It just happened that Fowler was the first one I heard say it. Now, to the story, this popped up today; In interview with Howard Stern, Biden says he considered suicide after death of first wife and daughter. I didn’t include the link because I lost it. This just confirms that the Five comment was a Talking Point. Now for part 2 of the story. There were hundreds of comments from, oh how sad to Biden is evil, who cares since he cares nothing about the destruction he caused to his constituents. But the surprising (not surprising?) thing was how many commenters said something about how they wished he cared more about the Palestinians!?!? This proves that the left-wing propaganda is working on the younger less intelligent folks. ~SIGH~

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Dr. Anthony Fauci has come out as a major supporter of Governor Kristi Noem after learning that she, too, is a puppy murderer.

    “I’m a huge fan of Kristi Noem’s work,” said Dr. Fauci. “Mostly just the putting bullets in puppies’ brains part, but still – big, big supporter.”

    According to sources, Dr. Fauci purchased several copies of Noem’s book where she describes killing a puppy and has read it on repeat ever since. “Fauci made that part of her audiobook his voicemail prompt,” said former colleague Dr. Ben Schroeder. “It’s a little creepy, but you know Fauci. The guy loves him some dead puppies.”

    Between 2018 and the spring of 2023, a cluster of clients who had gotten “vampire facial” microneedling skin treatments at a New Mexico spa were diagnosed with HIV, probably via poorly cleaned instruments, a new report finds.

    When HIV arises among people without known risk factors, doctors “might consider cosmetic injection services as a route of HIV transmission,” wrote a team led by researcher Anna Stadelman-Behar, of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    and,

    Between 2018 and the spring of 2023, three other of the spa’s female clients with no prior HIV risk factors also tested positive for HIV. Most did not even realize they carried the virus until they developed advanced AIDS-like symptoms.

    The patients were all in their 40s and 50s, Stadelman-Behar’s team said.

    A fifth case of new HIV infection was detected in the male sexual partner of one of the infected women.

    The great Roger Scruton would have been 80 this past February 27th, and to commemorate the event, Jash Dolani, a poster on X, put up a list of 11 Scruton quotes, which I repost below:

    1. Scruton on the fundamental right-wing impulse: “Conservatism starts from the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created.”

    2. The hypocrisy of liberals: “Liberty is not the same thing as equality, and that those who call themselves liberals are far more interested in equalizing than in liberating their fellows.”

    3. Scruton on when to ignore a writer: “A writer who says that there are no truths, or that all truth is ‘merely relative,’ is asking you not to believe him. So don’t. Deconstruction deconstructs itself, and disappears up its own behind, leaving only a disembodied smile and a faint smell of sulphur.”

      I don’t have the time to watch this whole thing, but one point of contention is that Jordan was established very early after Israel. That was the 2 state solution. The UN, being the inherently evil organization it is and likely was designed to be, meddled around and declared the Philistines palestenians a separate people group. They arranged, through UNWRA, to control the resources and most importantly, the educational materials that built Gaza from nothingness to the hive of scum and villainy it is today.

      Islam at its core is evil and straight from the pit of hell. That being said, the fundamentalist sects of Shia and Sunni Islam are populated with people who can not be reasoned with: their goal is to kill all the Jews first, then the Christians, or be killed attempting same.

    I’ve returned from church, braving the single crutch option so I could hold an umbrella if needed. I got home before the rain, so good there. Took a tour of the garden, and got rid of a couple of gnarly caterpillars that have obviously been hiding from me for a while. Tomatillos are blooming like crazy, but that doesn’t mean fruit will follow. I have some tomatoes growing, which has me somewhat excited. Collected a handful of green beans. My asparagus beans are climbing madly, but not blooming yet. My ginger is finally poking leaves to the surface. Slackers.

    Then I came inside and added stuff to the brisket already cooking in the crock pot. We’ll be able to eat ropa vieja early if we wish.

    With out of town guests coming in later this week I decided to do a sure-enough floor cleaning in the kitchen and laundry hallway. Moved all the moveable furniture out and all of the stored items from that hallway.
    I’ll be paying the price tomorrow.
    Started on the vacuuming, but retreated to fight that another day.

    I had to go to the ATT store in Brenham, earlier. After Fay left for greener pastures I went there and they supposedly transferred the account to me. But they had it all screwed up.
    As such, when I tried online to change the credit card number that I use for Auto-pay, I hit a brick wall.
    What a pain it is canceling credit cards.
    However, I was surprised that with two of the three that I had canceled, the replacements arrived in 6 days. And my Medicare Supplement I.D. card arrived in five days!
    That leaves only the Medicare Card (2-4 weeks) and the Exxon card.

    When my Beloved Fluttery Aunt died, Eldest Sis had the hardest time getting all of her autopays turned off. As BFA got older and sicker, Eldest tried to convince BFA to change those accounts, but BFA insisted it was better to leave them that way. All of those bills kept getting paid for accounts that were active but not being used until Eldest could get in front of a judge and get the official okey-dokey from the judge and the accompanying okey-dokey paperwork.

    That’s the only Auto-pay that I have, except for my Medicare Supplement . ATT offered a pretty nice discount if I used Auto-pay.
    But I will definitely put that in my notes to my executor.
