National Vietnam War Veterans Day

National Vietnam War Veterans Day is observed annually on March 29 in the United States. It is a national observance that recognizes veterans who served in the US military during the Vietnam War.

On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017. This act officially recognizes March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

And yet, our illustrious mayor did not issue any kind of proclamation acknowledging this.  At least our council president, Eric Jenkins, COL, USA (Ret.) mentioned it at the last council meeting.

Mayor Distler's "Softball Interview" For Women's History Month

 The current email of the city's weekly newsletter "A Few Good Words" has a softball interview with Mayor Distler since this is Women's History Month.

I feel sorry for the staff member that had to conduct this interview, which can be read here.  They could not ask the tough questions.

Instead I'll ask them.

1.  As the first female mayor of Shawnee how do you feel about being arrested for felony perjury?

2.  As the first female mayor of Shawnee how do you feel about serving a diversion agreement so as not to be prosecuted?

3.  As the first female mayor of Shawnee how do you feel about never having apologized to the citizens of Shawnee (including the person whose name you fraudulently used)?

Now those would be interesting questions to get answers to during Women's History Month.

Loser Lisa Larson-Bunnell is Recruiting Candidates?

 Oh my gosh.  Lisa the Loser Larson-Bunnell is recruiting candidates to run for city office.  You can read it here.  

I gotta laugh at what she says.  First, why isn't she running again?  Hmmm, as an appointed city council person when she ran for a full term, she lost....(dumba$$).  Why did she move from Ward 3 to Ward 4?  Could it be that her neighbors in Ward 3 were not happy with her views for the city?  (dumba$$)  Could she even get support from the public to run?  Door knocking, literature handing out and monetary contributions?  (dumba$$).  What does her family feel about her running again?  Maybe, just maybe they are against it, and that is why she isn't running? (dumba$$).

She says:  "

1. The Council insists on imposing their limited culture and beliefs on our entire community. Their extreme behaviors transcend political party affiliation and lead to dangerous precedents and outcomes. "

 Wow, is that a stupid statement from a dumba$$.  Why did the face of the council change?  Simple, because the citizens were not enamored with her and the others of her leanings who were on the council.  Is that why she lost?  And is that why the two folks who ran instead of Zimmerman and Constance also lost.  Maybe the folks were tired of the left wing, sock it to the public attitude of these people.  Like trying to jam that community center down the city's throat.  (dumba$$)

She even goes on to say that the current council does not rely on the professionals on staff for analysis, etc etc etc.  Hmmmmm, let's talk about the recently departed city manager Nolan Sunderman.  He who thought the council worked for him and not the other way around.  He who was told to bring the info to the budget meeting about a 2 mill reduction in the mill levy and then took it upon himself to bring a 1/2 mill reduction.  Fortunately the council corrected his arrogant move on that one.  Also, she talks about folks leaving.  Hey, that happens when there are changes in government.  Especially with younger folks looking to "move on up".  Just look at Washington.  How many folks have left the Biden administration in only two years?  Man, is Loser LL-B a dumba$$.

Ballad of the Green Berets, #1 on the Charts, March 5, 1966

 On March 5, 1966 the "Ballad of the Green Berets" was #1 on the music charts.

A great song, dedicated to a fantastic group of servicemembers.  Some folks may not be aware of the fact that Eric Jenkins, current city council president and a retired colonel, was at one time a member of that very elite unit.  And fewer even know that his legs were severely damaged while participating in an airborne (parachute) activity.  Thank you for your service Eric.
