John Wayne: The World War II Hero Who Didn't Serve.

Me? A leftie? LOL Five years military service during WWII, the Occupation of Germany, and finally the Korean War? What have you done mlitarily for my country, the USA? Afraid to acquaint yourself with the facts? If you ever graduate from that Kindergarten of mental acuity, pehaps some intelligence will peek through that peabrain of yours.

When I found out some time ago that John Wayne was a WWII draft dodger, I quit watching his movies. A WWII, Occupation of Germany, then Korean War vet, I cannot stomach selfish, lying draft dodgers. Finding out he purposely avoiding military service has led me to wondering that if he had served, his dead body might be lying in one of the tens of thousands of military graves around the world, and some military fellow's body who did serve selflessly might still be alive.

Dogs will be dogs! Digging is what they do best. LOL

This is probably the reason:

Although there is some question as to the origin of this beautiful melody, Mario Lanza gives it the vocal justice it deserves.

The popular version is that it was written in tribute to the British soldiers who fought in WWI. Also in tribute to the marvelous non-military folks who worked in factories producing military goods for the troops, and civilians (families and loved ones) who supported the troops, I'm reminded of Churchill's remark: "They also serve who only stand and wait!"

"An extraordinary response. That is, for its rarity, from the nation’s highest-ranking jurist."

Another judicial hypocrite is Chief Justice John Roberts

Chuck Grassley to Chief Justice John Roberts: You Rebuked Trump — but Sat Silent Through Obama’s Abuse

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts offered rare public criticism of the President of the United States on Wednesday when he pushed back against President Trump’s claim Tuesday that an “Obama judge” had blocked his effort to deny asylum to those entering the country illegally.

But as outgoing Senate Judiciary Committee chair Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) later noted, Roberts was silent when President Barack Obama attacked the Court during the State of the Union address in 2010:

"Chief Justice Roberts rebuked Trump for a comment he made about judge’s decision on asylum I don’t recall the Chief attacking Obama when that Prez rebuked Alito during a State of the Union."

— ChuckGrassley (@ChuckGrassley) November 21, 2018

Likewise, Roberts said nothing when Obama bullied the Supreme Court on numerous occasions — and even appeared to yield to Obama’s pressure.

In 2010, President Obama used his first State of the Union address to denounce the Court’s January 2010 ruling in the Citizens United case, which struck down restrictions on corporate political speech under the First Amendment.

With six of the nine justices sitting silently in the House of Representatives, Obama told the nation their ruling “will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our e******ns.”

Democrats leapt to their feet in applause. Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words, “Not true” — and never attended another State of the Union address.

But Roberts said and did nothing to defend the Court from Obama’s unprecedented assault on its independence.

In April 2012, when oral arguments in the Obamacare case (NFIB v. Sebelius) appeared to go against the administration, Obama warned the Supreme Court against overturning the law, attacking the very idea that “an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law.” His aides later scrambled to explain that the president — once a lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago — certainly accepted the idea of judicial review.

But Roberts did not defend the court’s prerogatives. In fact, Roberts buckled, effectively rewriting the law to save Obamacare — perhaps even reversing his original v**e.

On Monday evening, Judge Jon S. Tigar of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, an Obama appointee, issued a temporary restraining order blocking the administration from implementing President Trump’s November 9 proclamation that asylum requests would no longer be granted to those arriving in the U.S. illegally. In speaking to reporters, Trump criticized the decision of the “Obama judge,” adding that he considered it a “disgrace.”

On Tuesday, in response to queries from the Associated Press, Chief Justice Roberts said in a statement: “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.” His views were widely reported as a rebuke to the president himself.

In response, Trump tweeted — with unusually restrained language — that Roberts was wrong, and that President Obama’s appointees, along with the courts of the Ninth Circuit more generally, were reliably opposed to all of his immigration policies. That made those courts the forums of choice for radical left-wing groups favoring amnesty — and they were frequently wrong, he implied, as judged by how frequently they were reversed.

Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have “Obama judges,” and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country. It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an “independent judiciary,” but if it is why……

…..are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking. We need protection and security – these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2018

Trump later added:

“79% of these decisions have been overturned in the 9th Circuit.” @FoxNews A terrible, costly and dangerous disgrace. It has become a dumping ground for certain lawyers looking for easy wins and delays. Much talk over dividing up the 9th Circuit into 2 or 3 Circuits. Too big!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2018

Though Trump has often criticized judges, raising concerns during the e******n about his commitment to judicial independence, in practice he has arguably shown greater deference to the courts than Obama, even earning praise from the judge who stopped the family separation policy at the border.

“The president has this like third or fourth grader’s view ..."

Takes one to know one. Keep struggling...you may make it to the fourth grade.

Gotcha! LOL

A longtime many-dogs fellow, I've always hated the idea of neutering male dogs, and spaying female ones. Denying these wonderful creatures the right to have puppies...especially the females... is tantamount to criminal activity. It's clumsy, uncaring people who let them wander unsupervised, then impregnate other dogs of any breed that is criminal activity.
