A General Mattis Christmas Story

Featured from the National Museum of the Marine Corps Museum’s Facebook Page

A couple of months ago, when I told General Krulak, the former Commandant of the Marine Corps, now the chair of the Naval Academy Board of Visitors, that we were having General Mattis speak this evening, he said, “Let me tell you a Jim Mattis story.” General Krulak said, when he was Commandant of the Marine Corps, every year, starting about a week before Christmas, he and his wife would bake hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Christmas cookies. They would package them in small bundles.

 Then on Christmas day, he would load his vehicle. At about 4 a.m., General Krulak would drive himself to every Marine guard post in the Washington-Annapolis-Baltimore area and deliver a small package of Christmas cookies to whatever Marines were pulling guard duty that day. He said that one year, he had gone down to Quantico as one of his stops to deliver Christmas cookies to the Marines on guard duty. He went to the command center and gave a package to the lance corporal who was on duty.

 He asked, “Who’s the officer of the day?” The lance corporal said, “Sir, it’s Brigadier General Mattis.” And General Krulak said, “No, no, no. I know who General Mattis is. I mean, who’s the officer of the day today, Christmas day?” The lance corporal, feeling a little anxious, said, “Sir, it is Brigadier General Mattis.”

 General Krulak said that, about that time, he spotted in the back room a cot, or a daybed. He said, “No, Lance Corporal. Who slept in that bed last night?” The lance corporal said, “Sir, it was Brigadier General Mattis.”

About that time, General Krulak said that General Mattis came in, in a duty uniform with a sword, and General Krulak said, “Jim, what are you doing here on Christmas day? Why do you have duty?” General Mattis told him that the young officer who was scheduled to have duty on Christmas day had a family, and General Mattis decided it was better for the young officer to spend Christmas Day with his family, and so he chose to have duty on Christmas Day.

General Krulak said, “That’s the kind of officer that Jim Mattis is.”

The story above was told by Dr. Albert C. Pierce, the Director of the Center for the Study of Professional Military Ethics at The United States Naval Academy. He was introducing General James Mattis who gave a lecture on Ethical Challenges in Contemporary Conflict in the spring of 2006. This was taken from the transcript of that lecture.

Frankly, as I read that, I choked up a bit and my eyes began to water.

To me, this provides all the information I need to know about a true leader.

This is why America hates the media

Posted on by

First, please watch the video. Joe Scarborough is entirely correct. Watch the Leftist chick on his right, listen to what she says, how she says it, her body language.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on last Monday’s (11-28) Morning Joe on MSNBC.

But because I am “fake news” (and other Conservatives like me), what I display here must be wrong. Ginned up. False. Right?

Unless.  .  .

It would appear that Joe Scarborough is accurate and Miss Smarmy Pants is bleeding condescension, arrogance, is contemptuous, dismissive, and would rather leave facts behind as soon as humanly possible.

Joe Scarborough dared to speak the truth. You are hated, American Media Maggots, quite precisely because you and Leftists/Demorats are so alike, reveling in your hypocrisy.

That is a major factor for the AMM hemorrhaging readers and advertisers. That is also a major factor in your creation of the “fake news” theme, because you are also losing your gatekeeper status. You are in a fight and you’re assembling more weapons with which to combat those considering abandonment.

SCARBOROUGH: “You still don’t get it. You’re still being hypocritical! You can get it wrong in the primary, that’s fine – you can get it wrong in the general election but you keep getting it wrong!”

You’re losing your fastidious and once-ubiquitous grip.

You’re scared as hell.

More about that in a later post.

The truth about Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison, up for DNC chair

Posted on by

keith-ellison-muslim-influence(And no, ignorant Leftists, the “Rep.” does not stand for “Republican.” Just a hint from me to you.)

Conservatives have been screamed at, goaded, scolded, taunted and physically assaulted by Leftists because we are the racists, Islamophobes, fill-in the ___-ist.

Now, up for DNC Chair is Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota (5th District), who was sworn in on the Koran. A black Muslim, you see. The proverbial Demorat “best of both worlds.”

keith-ellison-sworn-in-on-koranProving — just as the donks re-established Nancy Pelosi as leader in the House — that Demorats are doubling-down on insane. You know that definition by heart.

Good for the GOP so to speak, bad for the Demorats, who fail to see that both things are very poor ideas. For one, Kevin Jackson reveals on Fox:

Interesting. This is the man the Dems seek as DNC head, an ethnocentric racist who wants to establish a separate country just for blacks.

After all, what doesn’t soothe the savage breast of a good Leftist other than calling someone a racist, illustrated below.

I say: keep it up, Demorats, please keep it up.

We need to continue seeing the massively divisive and truly racist underbelly of Leftists and Demorats exposed.

Additionally, we know nothing satisfies Leftists more than supporting entirely daft memes for entirely daft reasons, as the Caucasoid female CNN host says below, in response to the black Somali Muslim who attacked students at OSU this week. Yes, we must show support for ISIS and all Muslims who commended the now-dead suspect for his actions.

  • Male host: “I think self-defense training is good for everybody.” Translated: you need to be free to protect yourself.
  • Female host: “I know, you’re a big proponent of that.” Translated (and stated with dripping condescension): you oppressive male thug, resorting to violence as per normal.

These GOWPs are entirely — and I submit purposely — unaware of the meaning of the Muslim hijab as worn by women in the Islamic world. It is a means of exhibiting the dominance of men over women in the Muslim culture.

  • Q 24:31 – Women must cover themselves and be seen only by their husbands, father, relatives, eunuchs, slaves, and children who have not yet had sex with women.
  • Q 2:222 – Menstruating women are unclean and men must stay away from them.
  • Q 4:11, 2:282, 2:228 – A woman is worth one-half of a man and men are above women.
  • Q 4:34 – Men are above women and have authority over them, yet women must obey men or risk being beaten.

Ad nauseum. Doubt me? Read the Koran.

You bet. Make Rep Keith Ellison DNC chair.

I can’t wait.

SCOTUS Leftist female bias, violent physical threats

Posted on by

scotus-ginsburg-sotomayorAnd they’ve come from two of the sitting females.

Can you imagine what would occur had any remotely right-leaning Supreme Court male jurist said similar things?

Another in a continuing series of reasons why America is calling bullshite on the Left.

First, from Ruth Bader Ginsburg via CNN.com:

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg calls Trump a ‘faker,’ he says she should resign

by Joan Biskupic

Washington (CNN) Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it.

“He is a faker,” she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. “He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. … How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that.”

It is highly unusual for a justice to make such politically charged remarks, and some critics said she crossed the line. House Speaker Paul Ryan told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday night the comments were “out of place.”

“For someone on the Supreme Court who is going to be calling balls and strikes in the future based upon whatever the next president and Congress does, that strikes me as inherently biased and out of the realm.”

But that, as Captain Beefheart once said, is “safe as milk.” Sonia Sotomayor went over the top. From Breitbart.com:

Sonia Sotomayor Says She Would Have Bashed Scalia with a Baseball Bat

by Thomas D. Williams PhD

In an unguarded moment Monday, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that conservative Justice Antonin Scalia occasionally made her so angry that she would have beaten him with a baseball bat if she could have.

During a Q&A session at the University of Minnesota with some 2,700 people present, Sotomayor admitted that Scalia’s opinions sometimes infuriated her.

“There are things he’s said on the bench,” Sotomayor told the room full of lawyers and students, “where if I had a baseball bat, I might have used it.”

Let us not forget this is the same Sonia Sotomayor who proved her racist bent in BILL SCHUETTE, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MICHIGAN, PETITIONER v. COALITION TO DEFEND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, INTEGRATION AND IMMIGRANT RIGHTS AND FIGHT FOR EQUALITY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY (BAMN), et al.

And the same individual who said this:

I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.

And apparently you — like most Leftists — automatically deign to know and understand my life more intimately than I do. Wisdom, you “latina,” doesn’t suddenly visit through your jaundiced perspex simply because you are allegedly well-educated or passed a bar examination. In fact, some of the most stupid persons I’ve ever met, with regard to the real world, are “highly-educated” and/or attorneys. You wouldn’t trust them to safely open a jar of Prego or a cylinder of Pillsbury biscuits.

As I’ve said a thousand times, it isn’t what you’ve been taught; it’s what you’ve learned.
