Dan Cincinnatus

In response to the rumors of a Seattle Seahawks team sit-down for the Star Spangled Banner on 09/11, I wrote this open letter to Russell Wilson and posted it on his Facebook page.

Dear Mr. Wilson,

My name is Dan Russell. I am a lifelong Seattle Seahawks fan, a native Washingtonian, and I have the humble privilege of serving as a Police Officer in my community.

I am the Officer in these photos – two of which went viral – taken in Dallas on 07/07 at the scene where 14 police officers were shot in an ambush; five of whom perished from their injuries.

I decided to dedicate myself to a life of Service on a Tuesday morning sitting in my parents living room on 09/11/2001, as I watched live footage of a plane crash into the World Trade Center. I woke up my brother, a serving United States Marine at the time, to give him the news – America was under attack.

On that sunny and bright Tuesday, 2,996 Americans lost their lives. 343 of those lost were firefighters, and 71 were law enforcement officers. In response to the worst terrorist attack in our Nation’s history, millions answered the call to Service – to Serve their Nation in the military, to Serve their communities as Police Officers, firefighters, dispatchers, paramedics, or as the family of one of these intrepid selfless individuals.

Every day, more choose to answer the call to Serve – inspired by those events of fifteen years ago and the selfless sacrifice of so many that came before them.

I chose to Serve on 09/11/2001. After Ferguson in 2014 I found myself questioning my choice of career and vocation. A visit to Ground Zero reminded me that I was Serving something bigger than myself – something beautiful and everlasting.

America.

I humbly ask – I beg – that you do not sit down for The Star Spangled Banner on this coming Sunday, the 15th anniversary of 09/11/2001.

To do so would be a slap in the face to millions of fans, millions of public Servants, millions of Americans, to 09/11 first responders, to the survivors, and to the families of all that were involved and impacted by that terrible day, most of all –

To those 2,996 who fell in an act of hatred towards our country and all we stand for.

You have so many avenues of making a stand, of letting your voice be one of compassion, reconciliation, and building rather than tearing down. You have shown that you are an inspiring leader, man of community, faith, family, and charity. You have a voice that will be heard.

Please, use your voice in one of those other avenues – do not allow yourself to become one that succumbs to the sensationalism and misguided choices that are currently causing so much division in our country.

Stand for The Star Spangled Banner.

We who Serve will stand with you.

Respectfully,

Dan Russell
Seahawks Fan

The ONE Reason To Vote For Trump.

By |2016-09-04T18:08:05+00:00September 4th, 2016|Uncategorized|

 Ed. note: to anyone-but-Trumps — consider how a continuation of Obama (AKA Hillary admin.) would reshape the Supreme court. If there is ONE reason to vote for Trump – think of the Supreme court.
———————-

On the campaign trail in 2008, Barack Obama promised to fundamentally transform the United States of America. After nearly eight years as president, he has delivered on one front by reshaping the federal judiciary. That revolution has been comprehensive, dramatic, and under the radar. When Obama entered the Oval Office, liberal judges controlled just one of… (more…)

Mule Trading

By |2016-08-25T13:28:29+00:00August 25th, 2016|Uncategorized|

Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville MS Daily and bought a mule for $100.

 

The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.

The next morning the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night.”

 

Curtis & Leroy replied, Well, then just give us our money back.”

The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”

They said, “OK then, just bring us the dead mule.”

 

The farmer asked, “What in the world ya’ll gonna do with a dead mule?”  Curtis said, “We gonna raffle him off.”  The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!”   Leroy said, “We sure can! Heck, we don’t hafta tell nobody he’s dead!”

 

A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked.  “What’d you fellers ever do with that dead mule?”

 

 They said, “We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.”

 Leroy said, “Shucks, we sold 500 tickets for two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.”

 

The farmer said, “My Lord, didn’t anyone complain?”

Curtis said, “Well, the feller who won was kinda upset, so we gave him his two dollars back.”

 

Curtis and Leroy now work for the government. They’re overseeing the Medicare and Social Security Programs.

 Limit all U.S. politicians to just two Terms. One in office and one in prison

Too Many People Vote?

By |2016-11-11T00:13:56+00:00August 24th, 2016|Uncategorized|

Perhaps a better way to say it is – too many UNeducated people vote. A call for a small civics test to be able to vote sounds like a good idea. Maybe 10 or 20 questions. This prep quiz from the USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services — division of Homeland Security that gives the tests for those choosing to become citizens) would be excellent!  https://my.uscis.gov/prep/test/civics

Todd Herman of Kiro Radio in Seattle says it well. Again though, not a generalization of just “too many” voting – but too many uneducated (hopefully) citizens voting for their personal interest. Not what’s best for the country.

Tell us how you did on the civics test!

 

FBI found nearly 15,000 new Hillary Clinton emails

By |2016-08-22T19:52:21+00:00August 22nd, 2016|Uncategorized|

 Ed. note: 5 missing? Maybe. 15,000 emails missing? Yeah, that’s not a mistake.

The FBI found nearly 15,000 emails former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton never turned over to the government after she left office – despite her insistence she’d handed in all her work-related messages. The Obama administration revealed the messages in a court hearing Monday. The 14,900 emails are just part of thousands the FBI has turned… (more…)

Obama lied? Say it ain’t so!

By |2016-08-19T17:21:28+00:00August 19th, 2016|Uncategorized|

 Even when caught with bold-faced lies he refuses to admit he was not “factually accurate” (i.e. lied). Unbelievable.

“We do not pay ransom. We didn’t here, and we won’t in the future.” Barack Obama might like to have that one back this morning, to stick a pin in the moving finger that writes. But the finger done writ, and it won’t come back to cancel a single line of the president’s fatuous fib that… (more…)

Have you heard of her? Kim Rhode and guns: Fans blame skimpy coverage of shooter’s Olympic record to media bias

By |2016-08-17T15:53:28+00:00August 17th, 2016|Uncategorized|

She just became the first Olympic athlete, male or female, to medal in six consecutive summer Olympic Games, but most sports fans have never heard of U.S. skeet-shooter Kim Rhode. Conservatives say there’s a reason for that: She’s pro-Second Amendment. Not only that, she supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. “It’s media bias: Olympics edition,” Matt… (more…)

New Option for Voters: Not Hillary or Trump

By |2016-08-15T17:05:20+00:00August 12th, 2016|Uncategorized|

via npr

It seems these days voters are almost nauseous at the thought of going to the polls in November and casting their vote for someone who may be our next president. The options thus far had been Trump or Clinton, a truly sad option, with some seeing Gary Johnson as a last hope (who’s running for president…again. He’s certainly determined). Between Never Trump and Never Hillary, a new option has come and it’s not Gary Johnson or….gulp…Jill Stein. No this new candidate is Evan McMullin.
