Speak of the Devil:

After pledging to hold weekly demonstrations over climate change, Jane Fonda was arrested on Friday as she was among those protesting in Washington, D.C. on the Capitol. Video of the actress being placed in handcuffs and escorted to a police vehicle was posted to social media.

"Today, the United States Capitol Police arrested 16 individuals for unlawfully demonstrating on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol," Eva Malecki, spokeswoman for the Capitol police told The Hollywood Reporter. All were charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding, she said.

The actress was protesting with the group Oil Change International over the climate crisis. "I will be on the Capitol every Friday, rain or shine, inspired and emboldened by the incredible movement our youth have created," Fonda wrote on her own website on Thursday.

Fonda added, "I can no longer stand by and let our elected officials ignore — and even worse — empower — the industries that are destroying our planet for profit. We can not continue to stand for this."

In her post, Fonda called the demonstrations "Fire Drill Fridays." The actress also wrote that, "I’ve moved to Washington, D.C. to be closer to the epicenter of the fight for our climate."

A request for comment from Fonda's rep was not immediately returned.

They need to lock her up and throw away the key and toss the school cutting juvenile delinquent from Switzerland (Greta T) in with her.

 

[Jack Klarich]

She like the rest of Hollywierd are NO longer relevant and that pisses her off

Stick a sock in her foul communist mouth

 

[hogcowboy]

Wish I could say something about that, hmmm, witch, but I can't. I got another place she can go to instead of jail. That's pretty good. I removed all the cuss words after re-reading and re-reading. That's just too much effort to waste on that...thing.

 

[bikerbillone]

Treasonous Bitch! May she suffer in He** for what she did to Our America....

In an interview she stated that the 'move' is only for 4 months. How many times is her hubby's private jet going to fly her back and forth to CA in that time? One FOX commentator said Huggy Bear wanted his hat back....

 

[Iowavicrider]

Hanoi Jane. I will ever forget what she did and how many young Americans died because of her rhetoric and actions.

Or maybe Canada and join up with the draft dodgers. I was under the impression that all these yoyos were going to move to Canada when Trump got elected, they all whined they'd move to Canada but they're still here. I guess Canada don't want their whiny @$$es either.

Just another of their lies. They'd rather whine than do what they said they'd do.

1. How many steps does the guard take during his

walk across the Tomb of the Unknown and why?

21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.

2. How long does he wait after his about face to begin his return walk and why?

21 seconds for the same reason as above.

3. Why are his gloves wet?

His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.

4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and if not, why not?

He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.

5. How often are the guards changed?

Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.

6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?

For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30.' Other requirements of the Guard:

They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives.

They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn.

The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin.

The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt.

There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform.

Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror.

The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV.

All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred.

Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor recipient Audie Murphy, {the most decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame.

Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington , DC , our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.

They respectfully declined the offer, 'No way, Sir!' Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can

be afforded to a serviceperson.

The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

God Bless and Keep Them

 

[Burnerboy]

WOW!!! Now this was the most impressive information that I have ever read... (or just learned)

Thank you!

We're possibly going to DC soon, and planning on watching this incredible show........... After reading this I am even more impressed...........Thank you!

Great post. I'm going to share this. Thank you Sully

I got my invitation to the commissioning of the USS INDIANAPOLIS LCS17, I got it automatically for being a donor and coming soon will be the commissioning coin. I won't be attending the ceremony in person but I will be watching it live on the laptop on October 26, 2019 at 10:00am CDT it starts and for me it will be 9:00am for the east coast its 11:00am. To be seen here: http://www.ussindianapolislcs17.com/ or here too: https://navylive.dodlive.mil/ or https://www.dvidshub.net/ I think this is the last one for the year.

 

[bikerbillone]

Navy sure is cranking out these LCS ships, hope these ships are worth the expense. Probably a lot there I just done see.

 

[trike lady]

There are 9 of the 'Freedom' models and 9 'Independence' models. Only LCS33 is nameless all the others have been named. https://www.navycommissionings.org/index.php?s=Class I guess its only a matter of time to see how good the investment is. :xzqxz: If it doesn't work out maybe give them to the Coast Guard? :Shrug:

 

[bikerbillone]

Coast Guard, now that's funny. Actually the one commissioned in Key West was the Freedom Class and a bit larger than the WWII/Korean War DD I was on. Here's the kicker, compliment on the DD was abut 320 personnel, the LCS is about 60, and I think 50 was on board at commissioning, now there's an automated ship right there.

...we lost 220 Marines in Beirut Lebanon...RIP Marines...

On October 23, 1983, 220 Marines were killed at a Marine compound in Beirut, Lebanon. This attack has been deemed the deadliest attack against US Marines since the battle of Iwo Jima during WWII. On the morning of the 23rd, a truck carrying 2000 pounds of explosives drove onto the Marine base and crashed into the barracks. The origins of the attack was traced back to Hezbollah--a militant and political group that was established in 1982 in Lebanon. As the truck entered the compound, no one questioned it's presence, it wasn't until it suddenly veered off course--plowing into a wire barrier and between two guard posts. By that time, however, it was too late to do anything to prevent the coming attack. The entire building was destroyed, flattening the structure and all of those that were trapped within; in total there were 241 US military personnel--220 Marines, 18 Navy sailors, and 3 Army soldiers--were killed, with 100 more injured. For an event rarely talked about in today's world, it signaled the beginning of a new norm of warfare that the United States would be facing.​
