The Air Force is having tow Aircraft manufactures compete for a large tanker contract that will replace 

There are only two AC competing for the contract  I agree with this statement

The real question is simple—which aircraft offers more to the American economy, the American taxpayer and American national security? 

And I am not a Union Guy but spending any, and I do mean any, money for American Defense in the EU is a bad plan for America.

Go read the whole thing…

This is funny as hell

Brothers in Arms were in the court to support Sgt McNulty since he could not be present.

Grodner is still a pile of crap Anti-American Liberal/Progressive.

“DID YOU KNOWINGLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THIS CAR?” O’Malley asked.
Grodner bowed his head, meekly, and responded in an equally meek voice:
“Yes,” he said.

The pile of crap…got off easy at the families request that this be treated as a misdemeanor instead of the felony that it could have been.

We stood outside, in the parking lot, talking for 20 minutes. He smoked, and I didn’t. He explained that he wasn’t anti-military and why he pleaded guilty.

The Court Room was full of Marines

“Yes, I’d say, ‘I’m sorry if I scratched your car.’ It escalated. That’s when he wanted me locked up and thrown away,” said Grodner, always the victim.

I will be looking to see if a way to help Sgt McNulty get his car fixed….

Work that vote…..

In broken English, one woman told Clinton how she wasn’t making money as a broker anymore.

I have no income at all,” she said. “So how will I survive?”

Choking up with emotion, the woman said, “In my neighborhood, there are brand-new homes, but the value is nothing. I’m glad you are here so I can tell you, because you’re going to be the president, I know.”

A man shouted through an opening in the wall that his wife was illegal.

“No woman is illegal,” Clinton said, to cheers

Yes, going after the illegal vote and giving out amnesty to all but not to Americans.

Most of you have heard about the pile of shit lawyer in Chicago that keyed a Marines Car just before he deploys back to Iraq? Right?

Marine’s car allegedly keyed by protester

By Andrew Tilghman - Staff writer

…

McNulty was getting ready to go back to Iraq for a second tour a few weeks ago when he left a friend’s apartment building to find a stranger vandalizing his car.

The shiny, black, two-door car displayed a Marine Corps license plate and a couple of USMC stickers. When McNulty confronted the man, the Marine faced a tirade of “anti-war and anti-military” remarks, according to a police report.

Many of McNulty’s fellow Marines might be stunned to learn that the 26-year-old reservist didn’t punch the man in the face on the spot. Instead, he called the Chicago police.

“He wanted to let the system handle it,” said McNulty’s brother, William McNulty, in a telephone interview.

Police arrived moments later to find McNulty standing next to Jay Grodner, a 55-year-old attorney who maintains two offices in the Chicago area. Grodner denied scraping the car. He claimed his accusers were anti-Semitic and singled him out because he is Jewish. The police report notes that Grodner’s responses to police questions were “unreasonable.”

Well, this is the best part of all.

Though he might not be in the courtroom, McNulty might derive some comfort from the fact that the presiding judge is a former Marine. Circuit Court Judge William O’Malley was a lance corporal in the early 1960s and is known around the Chicago Courthouse for wearing a Marine Corps pin on his lapel and celebrating the Corps’ birthday each November.

Could be the end for this pile of shit lawyer. I know there are good people that are lawyers but how they allow people like this to remain is beyond me..

Fuck you Jay Grodner, Go to Jail!
