The Goat Pen

I love you too, hedge.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m still here, probably will be long after you succumb to a lifetime of drug use.

But you were right, and I was wrong, about the number of annual auto deaths. My bad.

Breaking:

The Obama Administration's Directors of the Bureau pf Weights and Measures, the US Mint, and the National Observatory, all unmasked General Flynn. Why? As the incoming National Security Advisor, Flynn was talking on the telephone to a diplomat. TREASON!!

About 1.3 million Americans die each year from auto accidents. According to liberal coronavirus logic, we should therefore ban all cars and trucks until nobody dies from car wrecks. It doesn’t matter what banning all automobiles would do to our economy or our lives. And if you disagree with them, yo...

Breaking: Thanks to newly declassified documents, we now know that just about everybody in the outgoing Obama administration unmasked Flynn, possibly including the Postmaster General, the Surgeon General, and Federal Reserve Chairmen. There are laws governing how a person is to be unmasked. The firs...

James Clapper under oath in 2017: “never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting [or] conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election. That’s not to say that there weren’t concerns about the evidence we were seeing, anecdotal evidence…[redacte...

PS, there is no conflict between my gallant public service and my libertarian principles. Even staunch Libertarians like me have no problem with the federal government doing what it is authorized to do by the Constitution. And the military and prisons are right there in the Constitution: Military: A...

FERS is better than retired military pay for a Major with 20+ years active duty? I must be missing something. If you retired as a major with 20 years of service in 2002, you would be receiving around $3,250.00-$3,500.00 per month in military retirement pay. you must have retired at 20 in your early...

DOJ drops the case against Flynn. That’s not surprising after the revelation of documents proving the FBI’s outrageous prosecutorial misconduct against him. This exposes the Deep State for exactly what it is - a cabal of crooked, partisan senior intelligence and law enforcement officials using the e...

DS, if you're so jealous of my retirement, you can get one just like it. First, join the Army, go to OCS to get your commission (not direct commission as a JAG), serve in the reserves for awhile, then go on active duty, get assigned to Ft. Bragg, go to Airborne school, deploy to a war zone. After 8 ...

My military pension is from the reserves. The calculation includes 12 reserve duty and 8 years active duty. I'm not on any kind of disability. The two pensions don't add up to $100K. But if I take SS at 67, which is extremely likely, then it might add up to $100K. That's a bargain to the taxpayer fo...

They had an incredible amount of talent on that team. No wonder they blew everybody away and won the National Championship.

The military pension is good. The federal one is better. Social security waiting for when I feel like taking it. Plus Thrift Savings Plan, all in T-bills, therefore unaffected by the stock market.

How’s your retirement plan shaping up?

You are offended by facts?

As long as "the military" has 100 times what they could possibly ever need (including bullshit "pastors" like Prof), that's all that matters... D-. And that's grading with a curve. hedge, AA stopped by a couple of days ago. Before he disappears again, you really should ask him t...

Poor Burrow. Going to Cinci. Second only to Cleveland of NFL franchises where premier talent goes to disappear. hedge wrote: "I'd like to see you disappear." BREAKING NFL first round drafted players by conference: Big 12 - 5 Big 10 - 5 ACC - 3 (all from Clemson) PAC 12 - 3 MWC - 1 SEC - 15

I retired slightly over 3 years ago, and I just turned 60 in January. All I can say is, retirement rocks. Everybody's calendar before retirement: Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday. Everybody's calendar after retirement: Saturday-Saturday-Saturday-Saturday-Saturday-Saturday-Sat...

This is way overdue...

This is funny and summarizes why I pay little attention to cv news anymore: “ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE New Guidelines... Here are the official Coronavirus guidelines: 1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can. 2. Masks are useless. But they will protect you. ...

PS: Speaking of Hunter Biden, one of his other lucrative no-show gigs (other than Ukraine) was for the Chinese. Yes, THAT China. In 2013, Hunter flew with Joe to China where the then-VP was negotiating with the Chinese government. A month later, a new Chinese venture, "Shanghai Equity Investmen...
