Want to start the morning pissed off? Here you go:

Organizers of a refugee reunion to mark the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon have canceled plans for a ceremony at Camp Pendleton because they will not be allowed to fly the South Vietnamese flag on the Marine base.

The Vietnamese American community would not be allowed to fly the flag on the base in San Diego County because it is the emblem of an "unrecognized country," said Jason Johnston, spokesman for Camp Pendleton. The United States has diplomatic relations with the communist government in Hanoi. "U.S. government law does not allow the flag of an unrecognized country to fly on federal land," he said.

4 Oh, and Vic, mind if I slide a chair over to your porch? Got hit with a pulmonary embolism Wednesday, and have been enjoying the ER and ICU since.
And of course, happens to be the same day our lead contractor lets us know the new place in Texas is done, and the sale here in Fairfax was finalized.
Brilliant timing on my part, no?

6 Good Morning Morons. Today is Saturday, April 11, 2015. On this day in 1951 Democrat Harry Truman relieved Douglas MacArthur of overall command in Korea. He did this for "insubordination" due to McArthur's public comments critical of his "Europe First" policy while allowing Chinese aggression in Korea. We will never know but I think it is likely that if McArthur had been allowed to do the war the way he wanted we would have a unified Korea today and the nutbag administration in the north would never have existed. I will admit though, Generals should not publicly criticize or undermine their superiors.

7 GOP "hopefuls" address the NRA convention. I see Fox leads off with RINO Rubio in this article. Is this a sign of who they are going to push this time?

8 HISTORIC HANDSHAKE: Cordial greeting sets up Obama, Castro meeting

Thus says the headline link by Fox. I have a better one: Another chickenshit foreign policy fail. Obama meets Castro after snubbing Netanyahu and interfering in his election

I see another "deal" coming.

9 Unindicted felon and unindicter OF felons Holder the chump warns DOJ employees against soliciting prostitutes (in foreign countries) because it is against DOJ policy. This was after it was revealed DOJ people attended a sex party with prostitutes arranged by drug cartels. The whole DOJ is looking like a shit-house filled with corruption. But that only reflects the leadership.

10 The ten CA deputies involved in that beating of the criminal trying to escape on a stolen horse have been placed on administrative leave. Again we have the tale of a video from the MFM and everyone is climbing all over it. We do not have the whole story. This guy is no angel, he has a rap sheet longer than John Holm's Johnson. So all should give a chance for the investigation to proceed. Of course the DOJ is already sticking its nose into this but since this doesn't involve one of Obama and Holder's chosen people that will probably go nowhere.

11 Standby for another whitewash.

The State Department inspector general plans to review a controversial program that allowed a longtime Hillary Clinton aide to work for a private firm at the same time she was working for the former secretary of state.

Or maybe not since the Obama knives are out for Scankles.

12 The Air Force has fired the General who told officers that talking to congress about the A-10 was tantamount to treason.

13 Jordon Spieth is going into the second round with a commanding lead at the Masters. Will he hold it is the question?

Spieth heads to the third round with a 14-under 130, the lowest 36-hole score in the tournament's history, and a commanding five-stroke lead that matches the biggest edge at this point in the tournament.

14 John T. Booker, also known as Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, was arrested as part of a lengthy FBI investigation. Federal authorities said he was arrested near the army base in Manhattan, Kansas, as he completed final preparations to detonate the bomb, which had, in fact, been rendered inert while he was under FBI surveillance.

More workplace violence?

16 The EPA is about to shit out another huge and costly "regulation" to eliminate a refrigerant gas that they forced people to go to eliminate the phony ozone hole. This is to eliminate the phony global warming fraud.

17 Recall that link I posted yesterday about the 3rd grade teacher who had forced students to send get-well letters to murderer Mumia. Well Marilyn Zuniga, the teacher, was suspended without pay while they "investigate".
