"If your mother says she loves you, verify" -- Columbia School of Journalism
I am a Vietnam war veteran. I am not a Vietnam era veteran because I was stationed in Chu Lai in the U.S. Marine Corps air wing during the war. We flew A4 Skyhawks [some called the little attack jets 'Scooters'] and people out in the jungle were trying to kill us and destroy our jets. Many times they were successful and I was fortunate like most of my buddies.
In 2010, in his run for Senate, then Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam and he was outed for it.
For years, Blumenthal often touted his service in "Nam" as a Marine, but it was eventually discovered that not only had the lying sack of dog crap not served in Vietnam, his USMC service was as a Marine Corps Reserve, which, along with college deferments, kept his sorry butt out of Vietnam. Good for him, but he shouldn't have lied about serving in Vietnam--it's what's known as stolen valor.
Then there's Nathan Phillips.
Phillips is the turd who created a controversy over the weekend as he has done before. He and a group of his phony cronies participating in the alleged Indigenous Peoples March walked into the middle of a group of white Catholic high school students wearing MAGA hats who were the target of verbal attack by another protest group known as the Black Hebrew Israelites, a known crazy hate group.
Phillips [aka Chief Spouting Bull] directly approached one of the kids, got in his face, and proceed to bang his tom-tom right in the kid’s face.
For about two hours, the leftist lunatics and #NeverTrumpers engaged in a slime-fest of hate.
But the press jumped on the bandwagon after seeing a very brief video showing the kid standing his ground in the MAGA hat and a smile on his face, and then the proverbial crap hit the fan on Twitter, (the Covington High School administration even admonished the kids before knowing the true story) and of course, Kathy "the Beheader" Griffin and others got into the act, some calling for the doxxing of the kids, some for the burning them to death in the school, some for the firing of school staff, and all the rest of the garbage that gets spewed on social media.
It was a social media lynch mob.
And then there's Phillips. A USMC veteran who claimed to have served as Recon in Nam but instead, never made it there and worked as a refrigeration repairman stateside. But that wasn't a problem to the leftist media who failed to verify his bona fides.
One such leftist piece of dog pile is the always dependable Slate: “…Nathan Phillips, a Vietnam War veteran…”
But other media outlets that shouldn't surprise you were:
UPI: “…laughing and chanting at Vietnam War veteran Nathan Phillips…
Washington Post*: “…Phillips, an Omaha tribe elder who fought in the Vietnam War…” which has since quietly edited the story but the original clip is seen below:
The Washington Post: “…Phillips, 64,…”
The Omaha World Herald reprinted a profile it ran of Phillips in November 2000: “Now 45, Phillips has been sober for 16 years” . which evidently confirms his age listed in the Post is accurate. There's no way he served in Nam because he would have been born in 1955 and would have been only 16 in 1971 when the Corps was pulling more guys out of Vietnam than placing them there and he would have needed to wait for parental consent to join in 1972, when he claims he joined.
Junior enlistees were not sent to Nam in the ebbing of the war, but we know now that he never went to war as the media, which he failed to correct, claimed.
Like Richard Blumenthal, Nathan Phillips is a fake, and the media that failed to verify his history totally validates President Trump's statements about them.
I hope that 2019 will be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
