Ahhhh...Military Intelligence. What an oxymoron. I served at Ft. Huachuca, the nation\'s only military intelligence base. My job was 97B, Counter Intelligence Agent and Korean Linguist. As far as Leavenworth they\'d have to contract with the private prisons to hold us all. Sorry to disillusion you but the true keeper of our nations security and national secrets are the apathetic, bored and just plain uneducated janitors in the building.
My job was to review debriefings on people that were \'questionable\' and had been detained and/or debriefed (translation: interrogated) by the military, type up reports, discuss them with superiors and then file them.
These included Secure, Classified, Secret and Top Secret documents. We used any computer that was available depending on who wasn\'t working on it. We left paperwork on the desk. We took stuff into our rooms at the barracks and read them whenever. We filed them in a filing cabinet. One can not hack a filing cabinet. The thing was never locked since the military is a 24-7-365 operation and everyone needed access. We talked on an unsecure phone line to superiors if we had questions about things.

There was NO shredder to be found in any place on that base I ever worked. We tossed stuff in our garbage cans and left them for the janitors to empty or pick up off the floor. All of this paper work was stuffed in huge bins marked \'RECYCLE\'...ROFL!

And this was just the Army. There were also the Air force, Navy and Marines who had their own branches on base. Can\'t imagine what their offices looked like.

The only reason there is a shred of national security in the U.S. is because some janitor had enough energy to wad up the documents BEFORE throwing them in the recycle bin or simply didn\'t know how to use the copy machine.

The next time you see a janitor in a government building---please say thank you for keeping your social security number confidential and America\'s national security in tack.

Hillary does what every other politician, regardless of initial at the end of their name, has done. Only difference is she got caught.

If you\'re going to throw the book at here then throw it at me, every veteran that served in the military intelligence field, the entire military\'s intelligence community presently serving, the CIA, the FBI and the Pentagon and the U.S. Federal Reserve and please make sure to shut down Ft. Huachuca.

Perhaps Ft. Huachuca can be converted into another Leavenworth? The military prisoners and 90% of our country\'s government officials and employees can share it with the illegal immigrants that run across the base on a regular and consistent basis.

Know that for a fact as my \'job duties\' in the military got temporarily suspended and I got \'voluntold\' I and several others had to go work outside of the military with the state Border Control by the simple virtue of the fact we could ride a horse and shoot straight. (Met Sheriff Joe Arpaio in 2001 long before I ever moved to AZ after my military career).

As for getting Billy back in office what a joke. I think Hillary did an excellent job the first time around balancing the nation\'s budget and bringing our national debt to ZERO!

Billy was too busy smoking pot, chasing women,(I\'ll be polite with that one), eating cheeseburgers and playing the saxophone to be bothered running the country although he did look nice in his suit when he made an appearance.

Let\'s see \"I\'m not dishonest or a hypocrite but I just got caught\" Hilary or Trump who--- EXACT QUOTE, \"I love the poorly educated.\"

Gotta wonder why Trump loves the poorly educated. Maybe that\'s because who makes up 90% of his voting block.

People with no to little college education or barely high school diplomas; who think women are idiots, hate anyone who isn\'t white as proven by the KKK\'s endorsement of Trump proclaimed loud and proud by David Duke personally.

Can\'t think of a better person than David Duke to endorse you for President or the KKK way to embrace the Christian concept of \"Love thy neighbor as thy would love thyself.\" (I think Jesus said that didn\'t he? Then again Jesus wasn\'t running for President and didn\'t need the KKK\'s endorsement at the time.)

And people who think he is going to \'Make America Great Again\' by buying Trump hats made in China. He\'s a great job creator and cheating people out of $30K in phony real estate licenses and degrees at Trump University so they can afford to buy those hats made in China while selling houses to mega millionaires who outsourced American jobs to Elbolia where people work for .22 cents an hour!

And of course my personal favorite...national televised mockery of the disabled. Not once but twice. Gee, makes me wonder what he say about my Epilepsy disability. Think he\'d flop around on stage, while telling me I\'m a woman that bleeds out of my \'whatever\' despite the fact my I.Q. is 152?

Oh...and refusing to release tax returns proving he reflects the highest degree of personal integrity and openness to share with the people exact how a President manages money and balances his own money. Forgot..Trump doesn\'t have any money. He went bankrupt 3 times and has numerous lawsuits where he\'s being sued by contractors who did work for him but he has refused to pay.

Yes...outstanding and shining example of not being crooked. Presumptuous Republican Nominee Donald Trump: Making a-ME-rica great again\" . If I were Trump I would love the poorly educated too. For the obvious reasons cited of course.

\'There\'s a sucker born every minute.\'. P.T. Barnum and Trump perhaps should exchange slogans. At least P.T. Barnum was no a liar or a hypocrite. He made no apologies for being a carnival barker, ripping people off, and had the decency to keep his money in America while employing disabled Americans to work in his freak show and ripping off Americans who thought it was a good idea to come and mock freaks and their disabilities.

I don\'t wonder or worry about Trump. The world is full of Trumps. I wonder more about those who vote for the Trumps of the world regardless of their political preferences and affiliation.

I think Jesus said, \"There are none so blind as those who will not see.\" Makes me worry all the more about those poorly educated persons who can not separate God\'s facts from the world\'s fiction.

I\'m not touching the Catholic religion. I have some very, very, very strong opinions on it. Not positive. So I\'ll shut up.

Speaking of separating....
Ah...tomato porn! :D Gotta post some pictures. Exciting and lovely stuff. May make it my new screen saver. :D

Our big thrill here right now has been being able to get whole quarts of strawberries for .75 cents a piece. Been eating them like crazy and loving it.

As for ideas with cucumbers saw a lovely recipe for strawberry, cucumber salad with fresh mint and bacon vinaigrette dressing. Also my grandmother used to make these cucumbers I loved. She sliced them real thin, put sugar in them and a tiny bit of water and a little vinegar. Jarred them and put them in the fridge and then just served them like that. The liquid has when you get that soft, peeled ginger that comes with sushi. You know...the pink stuff. Anyone know what I\'m talking about there? If concerned about the sugar use Stevia.

Also thin sliced cucumbers would make an excellent replacement for shredded lettuce as a topping on fish tacos or in place of pickles on your hamburger. If I think of something else I\'ll let you know.

As for my cacti they are at rest now and shouldn\'t be kicking into gear again until fall. Then they\'ll be on hiatus once again until late winter when there is no more danger of frost and then be on cacti crack until summer once again.

Orgies of lilies sound wonderful and so fragrant though. Great at night when the scent is heavier. Mmmmmmmm....how nice.

anyway here is about as close as I got to my plants have a merge session. They have done quite well in this regards and keep popping out new little buds that just compile one on top of or next to each other.

These are a bunch of different Echinopsis and the tall pot has an Aloe in it. Not sure of the variety. Not exactly A. vera but in the same family.

Have a great day all.
