Pentagon Finally Reopens Child Pornography Investigation (Project Flicker)

Finally three years later the Pentagon finally decides to investigate 100's of child pornography fans who are civilian employees, military servicemen and contractors. Including more than 70 patrons with security clearances and 22 with Top Secret clearances. The investigation was was started in 2007 and closed in 2008 after only 57 employees were investigated.  The investigation were of people under their ranks purchasing oversees child pornography on with their paypal accounts or their credit cards. The patrons have been allowed to continue their employment without interruption. Only 10 patrons were charged as a result of Project Flicker.  Right there under our noses government employees are viewing and paying for child pornography with our tax dollars.  We work and contribute to their salaries, while their sitting on their fat asses watching child pornography in their offices and these are the people we entrust our countries security to. But, because they are government employees, they can get away with it and keep their jobs.  It's about time they finally re-opened the investigation! But today, the Pentagon official in charge of DCIS told The Upshot that he has ordered the remaining cases reopened. Deputy Inspector General for Investigations James Burch stated Wednesday "I have tasked Defense Criminal Investigative Service representatives with reviewing each and every Project Flicker and related referral DCIS received so as to ensure action was taken regarding these allegations involving employees of the Department of Defense," . In his statement, Burch said that even if criminal charges were not pursued against the remaining names on the list, DCIS would take steps to alert their superiors for administrative action. Here's Burch's statement:

I have tasked Defense Criminal Investigative Service representatives with reviewing each and every Project Flicker and related referral DCIS received so as to ensure action was taken regarding these allegations involving employees of the Department of Defense. If circumstances dictate, additional appropriate steps will be taken to ensure allegations involving DoD employees are thoroughly explored. In situations whereby criminal charges will not be pursued, relevant information will be referred to the leadership of appropriate DoD organizations for administrative action deemed appropriate.

To me it sounds like they tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug to avoid bad publicity. Until Upshot started making inquiries again.  The Upshot was the first to report the existence of 100's of names the Pentagon refused to investigate. What kind of bullshit is that?

Pastor Arrested on Sex Charges

A pastor in Troy, Michigan was arrested after the FBI say, he was trying to solicit sex from a 11 year old girl at a hotel. The Rev. William Bendert of the King of Kings Lutheran Church in Lake Orion was arrested Friday, September 10, 2010 in Troy at the Red Roof Inn for trying to solicit sex from a minor. According to officials, Bendert had expressed in his emails he wanted to teach the girl about sex. Bendert uses the AOL chat handle "Billthebear99." He claims he thought he was talking to the girls mother. Like that takes away the guilt off him wanting to screw up the life of a ll year old girl to get his rocks off. I hope Bendert is repeatedly raped in prison, because God only knows how many little girls lives that sick man has screwed up. Whenever a case like this comes up, the congregation and the community seems so shocked a pastor or priest was arrested for trying to solicit sex from a minor or for child molestation.  Child predators put themselves in positions in the community where people will trust them with their children.  Not that people shouldn't trust their pastors, but be very careful with who you trust your children with. Just because they are a teacher, a pastor, a priest or a coach doesn't mean they are saints.

Everywhere you look, there's football. Football commercials and football gear in the stores and  football on the tube. Football season has begun and your husband or man has found a new love.....football. Be glad it's football and not a another woman.  Well, at least during the football season. Your time spent with your sweetie revolves around what game is on. Unless your a football fan yourself and then you two can spend your time bonding during the game. You gotta love them though, football is part of the man you love.  Don't worry, you can have him back after the Super Bowl.

California Judge Rules The Military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy Unconstitutional

In Los Angeles, California a federal judge said she would put a halt to the "don't ask, don't" tell gay policy in the military. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ruled Thursday that the prohibition on openly military members was unconstitutional because it violates the 1st and 5th Amendment rights of gays and lesbians. During the non jury trial, Woods argued that the policy violates gay military members' rights to free speech, open association and right to due process as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. The decision will change the lives of many giving gays and lesbians the opportunity to openly serve their country. After the hearing Woods said, "It'll be an interesting decision for our president to decide whether to appeal this case. He's said that 'don't ask, don't tell' weakens national security, and now it's been declared unconstitutional," he said. "If he does appeal, we're going to fight like heck." More than 13,500 service members have been fired since 1994, the Log Cabin Republicans said. This is the second ruling from a California judge making great leaps in gay rights. Finally, those who are gay or lesbians can now proudly serve our country.

Joys of Motherhood

Society blames parents for children turning out the way they do. It's not always the parents. Sometimes we do our absolute best to raise our children to be a good person and it just doesn''t work. In some cases nature over-rides nurture and there's nothing you can do about it.  Each individual person has their own personality and in some cases you can't change that no matter how hard you try.  If a person is going to tell lies, then they are going to do it.  It doesn't mean, they have never been taught to not tell lies.  It just means they are who they are. As a parent sometimes the only thing you can do is the best you can.  Once your children grow up, they take over and they live their lives how they choose to live their life and you have no say in the matter.  When it comes to the point where you are becoming an enabler for bad behavior and poor choices then it's time to walk away. Your grown child may not understand, but eventually they have to learn they consequences for their own poor choices. They will never learn to make good choices if your constantly bailing them out every time they get themselves into a situation or when it comes to the point it is affecting your life negatively then it's time to let them feel the wrath of their poor choices.

1st Day of Middle School

Today was my son's first day of middle school.  I was fine until he walked out the door to get on the bus.  Just then it felt like his first day of kindergarten and my eyes began to get teary.  All summer, I had been thinking, "Wow, my little boy will be going to middle school this year. Things went well on his first day and he must have made a few new friends because there's a couple of new boys added to the pack and he came home acting as though he was now grown and too cool to listen to me. Kids are funny. They grow up too fast. He may be ready for this, but I'm not. He's on his way of becoming a teenager. Sometimes, I make him crazy and he tells me "Mom, I'm not a baby." It is so funny how fast they grow up.  He went from wearing jeans and novelty tees to wearing COLOGNE, skinny jeans and casual dress shirts just over summer vacation and a little birdie told me he has a girl's number in his cell phone.  Kids should come with a rewind button, so parents can take them back. He is my one and only son, so he might as well be the baby.

10 Things He Doesn't Want You To Know from askmen.com

From a man's point of view and a woman's point of view. What men don't want you to know and what she thinks about it.

Keep You Conquests Under Wraps
Safe sex is important. However, you don't want to tell her exactly how many women you have slept with. She may ask you, but she really doesn't want to know. She may not appreciate your conquests and you may be spending the night alone.

Your Income
Keep the size of your wallet in your pocket until you get a little further down the line. If you have the money, you can spoil her with the things she wants. If you have debt and are broke, she will most likely dump you anyway. (This one I agree with. Men just as much as women will latch on to a successful woman for financial security. So ladies, keep that monetary value under wraps too).

The Location Of Your Porn Stash
Most women like porn just as much as you do. But, they will never admit to it. They may feel like they are competing with a porn star in the bedroom. (Now, this one I don't agree with. She may actually enjoy watching it with you and the two of you can have some great foreplay and sex watching porn together).

Your Weaknesses
If she finds out, you cry during Bambi she may dump you. Woman say they want a sensitive man, but not one who cries during commercials or movies. Crying at funerals or over her is okay.

Your Strip Club Experiences
Do you like to go watch the ladies dance for an evening of erotic fun? Don't tell your lady she will twist it to her advantage and ask a lot of questions. (I don't agree being a woman).


Your Weird Fantasies
If your fantasies involve something that may be a little scary and dark to her or someone else. Keep those to the imagination. She may give you the boot as soon as she finds out.

Your Masturbation Habits
Keep the frequency of your masturbation habits to yourself. She may think she's not satisfying you sexually or think your a pervert.

Your Ex Memorabilia
She is really going to get pissed at you if she finds out your hanging onto the nude pics of your ex or all the old memorabilia of the ex-girlfriends. (I'd have to say I definitely agree with this one. If there an ex, the memorabilia need to go with the ex. Why do you want to hang onto something that isn't there?)

Your Embarrassing Moments
We have all had our embarrassing moments. I'm talking about the really embarrassing moments, the one's you don't want ANYONE to know. Revealing your most embarrassing moments is a visualization she may not want to know. It'll ruin your slickness right off the bat.

Your Cheating Past
Never reveal your cheating past if your trying to mend your ways and start new. She will never trust you. (Hmmm... I think a person has a right to know what their getting into. Don't you? People can change. But, if your a habitual cheater, she has a right to know).
