Supreme court rules for gun owners, strikes down Washington D.C. Handgun Ban!
As most of us know who have more than a pea for a brain… an armed populace is a great deterrent to crime.
VIVA NRA!

The First Woman to become a Four Star General?
Lt. General Anne E. Dunwoody of the Army has been nominated to become the first female four star general. General Dunwoody has 33 years of service ( 1975) and has had a number of command positions.
If confirmed by the Senate, she will be the first woman to gain a fourth star ( the first female 3 star general was in 1970). In the armed forces of the United States there are currently 57 active duty female general officers.
Good Luck and hopefully congratulations to General Dunwoody.

Congratulations, Kris! Change of Command
I don’t know what inspired grandma to pass down one of her favorite items, a beautiful diamond cluster pair of earrings… but after Kris’s Change of Command, our own ‘Combat Engineer Barbie’ was gifted with the pair you see above!The ‘little red dress’ was from Mom complete with a shop-until-you-drop of the central coast tour.
Congratulations again, hun.

Army Engineer Change of Command
My daughter Kristin relinquished her Army Engineer Company Command in Hawaii! We’re very proud of Kristin.
Kristin’s Change of Command Ceremony had a wonderful historic flavor … as did the celebrations afterward! Obviously, over the week, we had to dine at all the great places: Ruth Chris, Hatsuhana and Momoyama.
One of the highlights – for me – was receiving a ‘challenge coin’ from Major General “Ray” Mason.

Cal Poly Students elect ‘Saudi Deal’ Critic as President
Cal Poly students elected vocal ‘Saudi Deal critic’ Angella Kramer overwhelmingly as student body President at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.In a daring move on the day of election, the two college presidents of the Cal Poly Democrats and Cal Poly Republicans came out with a personal strong endorsement letter in the student newspaper of Angela Kramer:
“….and (she) stood up at ASI board meetings when all others remained silent. An important example of this lies in the recent student outcry over the pending contract with JUC in Saudi Arabia. Students wanted a forum to have their concerns addressed when previous attempts to talk about the issue were shut down. Angela was the only member of the Board of Directors who stood up in public repeatedly, not only against discriminatory programs, but also in support of the rights of students to be heard by members of the Cal Poly administration, including President Baker.”
Not everyone at every university is so quick to sell their principles for some quick cash. Some folks have begun to rethink their positions, even at UC Berkeley:
UC Berkeley’s civil and environmental engineering department declined to join KAUST.
There is much different between us and the Saudis and although one wants to be accepting; however, we must recognize that tolerance only goes to the point of sacrificing who we are. We are a free nation, they are not. Women have a place in our world, women are cattle in theirs. There are more comparisons equally disturbing.
Just say no to the Saudis.
