President Trump donates 2nd quarter wages to SBA

Fig. 1: Donald Trump kisses a terribly reprehensible and insidious green monster whilst he purposely avoids kissing an actual human baby, c. 2016.

That evil President Donald John Trump, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head —  the temerity of him, for attempting to fool people by thinking he’s somehow benevolent for donating portions of his $400,000 annual salary to various charities and agencies. Don’t you see? It’s all a ruse, a trick, a ploy, smoke and mirrors, a shell game, a scam, a dodge, naked subterfuge in an attempt to.  .  .

Do what exactly? Subvert whom? Oh yeah. Maybe help a few people. But clearly, the wrong people, instead of, say, the MGCDTDA (Mis-Gendered Colorblind Dump Truck Drivers of America).

Trump donates salary for vet entrepreneurship

by Leo Shane III

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday donated his second quarter salary to a new Small Business Administration initiative to help veteran entrepreneurs, the second time this year he has given money to federal veterans initiatives, according to the White House.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced the donation at a White House briefing on Wednesday. Linda McMahon, head of the Small Business Administration, accepted the $100,000 check, saying the funds “would be put to good use.”

Agency officials plan to use the money to launch a new seven-month training program for transitioning troops looking at starting their own businesses. The program will be based on the existing Emerging Leaders Initiative, but tailored to veteran-specific needs.

Earlier this year, White House officials announced Trump’s first quarter salary for 2018 would be given to the Department of Veterans Affairs for caregiver support programs focused on “mental health, peer support, financial aid, education and research.”

Previous donations by Trump went to the Department of Transportation for infrastructure repair, the National Park Service for battlefield preservation, the Department of Education for support programs and the Department of Health and Human Services for opioid management programs.

That evil, evil, evil President Trump. Giving his salary to disgusting American veterans instead of the GMA (Gay Midgets for Antifa), the SPAC (Syphilitic Pustules for Anti-Cisgenderists) or the LRCOG (Lesion-Ridden Cishet Objectophilists for Genderqueers).

That evil, evil President Trump.

Think of all the good he could have done.

AMERICANS FIRST. All others LAST

Posted on by

Why can’t we take care of our homeless veterans? Those who have served our country?

This nation’s priorities are completely wrong. The priorities of Demorats, Leftists and the American Media Maggots are all wrong.

It’s illegals who can go to hell. Not our veterans.

In honor of Loyce Edward Deen, USN

Posted on by

Please watch the video, then read the information below for the complete story.

US Navy TBF Avenger gunner, Loyce Deen, from the USS Essex is buried at sea with his aircraft during World War II.

A Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bomber of VT-15 Torpedo Air Group, approaches and lands on the deck of the USS Essex (CV-9) during the Battle of Manila Bay, in World War II.

Upon landing, Lt. Robert Cosgrove (Pilot) and Sailor Digby Denzek (Radioman) can be seen in their respective forward and middle crew positions.

But the rear gunner position, occupied by Aviation Machinist Mate 2nd Class, Loyce Edward Deen (Gunner) has been completely destroyed by enemy 40mm shell fire. AMM 2C Deen was decapitated as a result.

As the aircraft is parked amongst others, with wings folded, sailors of the Essex take fingerprints and cut dog tags from the body of AMM2C Loyce Deen in the gunner position.

Captain Carlos W. Wieber, Commanding Officer of the Essex, and her crew, participate in funeral services on the deck. A chaplain conducts the services from beside the aircraft, where Loyce Deen’s remains in the gunner’s position have been shrouded.

Deen’s remains are then buried at sea in the TBF avenger in which he perished. The aircraft floats off the fantail for a short time before sinking from view. Two TBF Avengers are seen flying overhead , in tribute. Crew members then disband and return to their duties. Location: Manila Philippines. Date: November 5, 1944.

Please visit LoyceEDeen.org, sign the guest book, and learn about this chapter in our history.

We are safe today, here in the United States, because of the courage, discipline and sacrifices made by the very young men and women of the Greatest Generation.

Please, I ask everyone, don’t let their sacrifices for our freedoms be in vain.

They bled and died for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Keep our freedoms and insist that our politicians do as well.

Oldest living US veteran: Rich Overton

Posted on by

Oldest Living VeteranHe’s 108 years old.

And he smokes and drinks.

From YahooNews.com:

Richard Overton, America’s oldest living veteran, participated in the Veterans Day parade in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday, posing for selfies from the passenger seat of a slow-moving car along the parade route.

Chances are, the 108-year-old World War II veteran began the day like any other: on the porch, smoking a cigar, sipping a cup of coffee stiffened with whiskey.

“I drink whiskey in my coffee. Sometimes I drink it straight,” Overton told CNN last fall. “I smoke my cigars, blow the smoke out — I don’t swallow it.”

Overton, who was born on May 11, 1906, in Bastrop County, Texas, served three years in the U.S. Army, with stops in Hawaii, Guam, Palau and Iwo Jima.

Yeah.  Just a few insignificant stops along the way.
