#EGG DOD RESPONDS!

[eveistdiepommes]

that's adorable😭 will we see more scenes with finland living with norway and iceland?🪼

YES YES DEFINITELY!! Especially because Finland and Iceland grow really close!! Norway knows a lot about Finland’s biology, making him equipped to help if he gets sick or injured, as well as answer his questions the most clearly. But Iceland ends up offering Finland like his first human connection in an emotional sense. They all grow as friends, but Finland, Norway, and Iceland end up viewing each other like brothers! And that’s a big reason why Norway insists that Finland live with them for a bit while he adjusts to a new place. I HAVE SO MANY CUTE THINGS PLANNED WITH THEM BEING BEST BUDDIES I’m actually about to draw some of my ideas right now :3 HEHE THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASK ANON!! :D

PAIRING : Leroy Jethro Gibbs X Reader

JETHRO’S POV

“ Good morning sweetie” I say kissing her neck.

“ Mhmm morning love” she replies in her sleepy voice.

I ground my cock against her butt.

“ Hmm Jethro” she giggled.

I pushed the USMC hoodie up cupping her ass before lightly spanking it.

I rubbed her clit and pushed my fingers into her pussy feeling her wetness.

“ Are you wet baby girl?” I whispered.

“ Fuck yes” she gasped as I hit the right spot.

“ So what do you want love?” I teased

“ Well you inside me. I want that lovely cock of yours to fill me up” she giggled.

I pulled down my sweatpants, and my hard cock sprang up.

Lining my cock against her pussy, I entered her while still spooning her.

She swayed her hips grinding against me as I kneaded her breasts and rubbed her clit while leaving trails of kisses on her neck.

She is so tight. I grunted in pleasure as she clenched her pussy . I thrust deeper hitting her g spot as she moaned my name. 

“ Jethro Ohh Jethro, Yeah baby, like that”

“ Y/N ohh fuck . wow ,uhh” I mirrored her pleasure.

As I moved faster and harder, she unfurled at my cock which led to my own climax as I shot my load deep inside her.  Pulling away I pulled her close cupping her face and kissing her. She stroked my cock . Then I pulled her on top of me as she lined her pussy against my cock . I thrust hard and she matched my rhythm.  I took off her hoodie as she took of my sweatshirt. I flicked her nipples with my tongue as I rubbed her clit. She came again while she was riding me. She  licked and rubbed my chest and stomach trailing kisses. I claimed her mouth holding her against me , as we both came together.

 

“ Wow”

“ I Know,  Wow”

I picked her up and carried her to the shower.  Turning the shower on I kneeled down in front of her eating her out.  I held her hips as she came. She drew me close kissing me. “ My turn”  she giggled kneeling down and taking my hard cock in her mouth. She bobbed her head up and down making me shoot my load. She swallowed it all, licking her lips. I pulled her up ,kissing her wildly. As we made out , I pushed her against the wall pinning her hands on top her  as I thrust into her. As I let go off her hands she put her hands around my neck and wrapping her legs around me. We moved in perfect rhythm  as we climaxed together kissing each other to silence our screams of pleasure.

After our shower as we towelled ourselves dry I kiss her again and she passionately responded.

“ We should really get ready now honey “ Y/n says “ kids are gonna be late for school. So are we”

“ Yeah.  But I want you in my bed tonight love” I whispered

“ With pleasure” she quips.

“ I love you Y/N”

“ I love you too Jethro”.

 

 

…

“ Sorry guys we are late.” We chirped as we came down to the kitchen.

“ We are already on with breakfast . Toast and Eggs” our two kids chirped in.

“ Hey Dad , I was thinking “ our son said , “ I am really good with computers and tech and I love the Marines. Think I will make a good one like you?”

 

“ You need to stop questioning your superior officers. Right now  kiddo, you are arguing with your teachers” . “Y/N “ chuckled.

“ Hey it’s an academic debate” he defended.

“ I am proud Dad that you are a marine. I want to follow your footsteps. “

“ Ahh son, there are other ways to serve your nation. I am proud of you whatever you choose to be.” I say.

“ Thanks Dad. I like playing with data and tech stuff. Maybe I can work in the DOD or NCIS as a data scientist. It’s a desk job but sure is exciting. Or I can go to law school.”

“ You know mum got accepted into Harvard, Yale and Columbia Law School” I say proudly.

“ But I didn’t  enroll. Instead I pursued my masters and PhD in English Lit”  Y/N chuckled.  “ But I think you got the gift of the gab and the mind to become one”.

“ Yep got it from your Badass diplomat Mum”

“ Some of it has been from your side Darling. He surely has that strong personality inherited from you.”  Y/N chuckled.

“ What about you kid?” I ask our daughter.

“ I think I wanna be a writer or go into fashion maybe. Hey Dad here’s some of my sketches” handing over a sketchbook and a tab to me. “ Ohh shoot I forgot my homework “ she said running up to her room. “ Me too “ my son exclaimed running up.

“ You know Jethro , she is really good at this. The writings, the sketches” Y/N says

“ Darling all I can see are some stick figures.  But I am proud”

“ Ohh you don’t know shit about fashion Darling” she giggled tiptoing to kiss me.

“ That reminds me. We will hijack your basement workstation this weekend.  No woodwork this week for you. Our daughter is the lead designer for her school’s  fashion show. We need the space. Her friends will be coming over to help her. “

“ You take care of my wood Darling ,I am all happy” I smirked.

“ Jethro “ she giggled as I kissed her.

Student Profile: Ochre (may add more in the future)

(reblogs help a lot)

Tribe - Mudwing

Winglet - Pearl

Colour - Ochre brown

Relatives - Clay (Cousin), Sora (Cousin), Reed (Cousin), Marsh (Cousin), Pheasant (Cousin), Umber (Cousin)

Clawmates - Scallop (Seawing), Darkstalker (Nightwing)

Favourite subject - Art

Least fav. subject - “Anything that Clay teaches”

Physical characteristics - Dull eyes, 1st and 2nd-degree burns all over his body that seem to be very recent (mostly focused on his limbs, head, and wings), very large stature, overweight with some defined musculature, can usually be seen wearing a piece of jewellery in the shape of three moons (made by Darkstalker)

Other characteristics/personality - currently the oldest student at Jade Acadamy apathetic, clumsy, pessimistic, aggressive, despises Clay (his actions towards him include: telling him to shut up, talking over him, stepping on his claw and/or tail when walking past him. Separate them as much as possible), abrasive, reported threats of violence against Clay and Fatespeeker, hates loud noises/dragons and crowds, no reports of violence or any misdemeanours have come from his winglet, volatile, grows agitated if burns are mentioned, quick to do tasks when asked (depending on which teacher is asking him), responds well to praise (depending on who it comes from), has refused to counsel (gives many reasons including: “I'm not going to tell Clay anything”, “are you implying that there's something wrong with me?!”), has started painting in the art room whenever he gets angry to relieve stress without being asked to (very commendable, however, his paintings are very questionable, including scenes of the brightest night, blood red eggs, blood red eggs being smashed/cooked in very elaborate ways, Clay being brutally hurt and/or killed in many gruesome and detailed ways and, drawings and portraits of the members of his winglet, usually drawings of Scallop and him together), don’t understand (or care) about other dragons feelings, most often does work when people are watching him and if he gets credit from it; is constantly trying to one-up Clay; acts like a bigwings towards the rest of the pearl winglet (he can be seen caring for the other members and listens to their problems); quick to use violence whenever one of the dragons in his winglet is being bullied (though its mostly Darkstalker since he's bullied the most)

Extras: 

I want to take the time to explain some of Ochre’s actions.

First his apathy/aggression towards Fatespeeker. It's simple, he knew the prophecy wasn’t real so he couldn't bother caring for any of the False DoD or about anything at all, there was no reason to; none of them mattered, their only purpose was as a backup in case their originals failed. This is why he gets so mad at Fatespeaker, especially when she talks about how they “were destined to be friends” because no, they weren’t, and watching her act as if they were destined for anything important made him feel even worse about the position he’s in. he wanted to be special, to have a grand adventure but he wasn't and he couldn't. Growing up only living as someone's replacement caused him to always compare himself to Clay. the fact that the prophecy wasn’t real made him angrier because somewhere out there, there was a dragon who was better than you in almost every way possible accomplishing a prophecy that wasn't even real. To Ochre, Clay is the living embodiment of everything that he wants to be but can't because he wasn't treated like he was worth anything. While he may state that he gives himself burns to “Become like Clay” (he may even think this is the reason) in reality he’s desperate to find a reason why Clay got all the cards in his favour, he’s desperate to convince himself that something made Clay so much better than him and that there was nothing he could do. For Ochre, he clung to the fact that Clay is fireproof and he isn't since it was the most distinct difference. (I am so sorry if this part was rambly, I was trying to get all my thoughts on my favourite False DoD in one place) Ochre was in the Talons of Peace but left to join the academy.

Sunday Funnies, If You're Not Offended...

Welcome back to this week’s edition of the Sunday Funnies where, events that happened this week (Cough! Broke Banks Beginning Bailout Bash, Cough! Cough!) make most people forget that so far in 2023 we’ve already seen…in no particular order: Elon Musk confirms Twitter was an FBI intel op and guilty of censorship RKF Jr. confirms the CIA killed Kennedy Dr. Andrew Huff confirms Covid was a DoD op Dr. Robert Malone confirms Covid Vaccines were a DARPA op Police video released of Paul Pelosi (with no pants on) hanging out with his “hammerboy” friend. 96 food plants have been either damaged or destroyed The price of eggs skyrocketed Gas stoves being banned…       As a result of the distractions de jour we have a tendency to forget many of the other distractions we’ve seen so far in 2023, like: What ever happened to: Biden’s classified docs scandal The FTX scandal Zelensky being honored on the floor of Congress Adam Schiff confirmed he visited Epstein Island 78 times Proof that Fauci and the CDC lied about vaccines CHINESE SPY BALOONS Satanic worship at the Grammys Fetterman checking into (or forced into) a mental institution EAST PALESTINE, OHIO International Women’s Day awarded to a Man…LOL! Billions of dollars of military equipment somehow lost or unaccounted for in Ukraine Tucker Carlson releasing footage showing how Jan 6th demonstrators were tour guided The comedian/pimp/president of Ukraine tells America we need to send our children to fight and die for NATO’s proxy war with Russia Lori Lightfoot lost the Chicago Mayoral election and blamed sexism and racism       Keep in mind we’re still in the month of March And with today’s Bank Collapse season beginning, how many people do you think have forgotten most of what we just pointed out?       Meanwhile, the Presstitutes and cretins from the District of Caligula continue to double down on their efforts to confuse and distract you from what they’re doing. And that, my friends is to lead us into World War 3 to hide the fact that we’re seeing the Global Sovereign Debt Crisis taking place in real time. In summary, I guess you could say “Maybe it’s all a coincidence?” Naaaaahhhhh!       Ironically (or NOT) we were warned well in advance from a man who was silenced by the Neocons/Leftists.       In other breaking distractions news, the Kremlin responds to the ICC issuing a warrant for the arrest of Putin…       And that’s precisely why we publish the Sunday Funnies. You see, we use our funnies/memes/cartoons to counter the madness and frustration that accompanies Turbulent Times. Because when it is all said and done, we all need to laugh every now and then. Why? Laughter is good for your soul. And it’s healthy to be a bit silly…especially in the face of fear mongering, medical tyranny, and especially the threat of WWIII. It’s all the more reason why we won’t apologize…especially if our Funnies just happen to hurt some Progressive/Socialist/Communist/Globalist’s feeeellwwings. And please remember: The Sunday Funnies are not just about our nations bizarre state of politics/finance/beliefs. It’s about awareness of what’s happening in the world that we choose to poke fun at. And, if our funnies/memes/cartoons/etc. provide you with a laugh or two – and/or open your eyes to some stark realities – then we consider that a victory. So, when things tend to get a bit overwhelming, we believe it’s best to remember that Humor is Waaaayyyyy better than Hatred…which is contrary to what the world wants you to believe. And we hope you see the Sunday Funnies as a refreshing oasis in the middle of a parched, dry, and increasingly dark world that we’re living in. As always, we remind you:  As difficult as things might appear, Evil Always Overplays its Hand…And Righteousness Prevails. Thanks again for joining us on this crazy journey we’re on and remember America Was Built by the Brave, Not by the Fearful… ******************************** Speaking of Bank Failures…Credit Suisse is Being Kept Alive on “Life Support” … Maybe it Has Something to Do With Their ‘Woke’ Leadership       *************************************** More Confirmation of the Saying:  “Go Woke and Go Broke”       ************************************* Oh, the Irony of Using Children to Scam the World Over ‘Climate Change’       ********************************** Now That Teenage Climate Expert Greta has Removed From Her Social Media How She Predicted the World Would End By Now Is Now Trying to Establish Credibility.       ******************************* Alas, Whether Credibility is Established We See Greta Singing the Same Song in the Future       ************************************ If This is True (and it is) What Else Are They Hiding From You?       ********************************* When You Realize How Every Emergency Has Led to Increased Taxes…       ******************************** All Along We Know That Our Founding Fathers Were Right About Taxation       ********************************* Speaking of Taxation…Here’s How Banksters Work the District of Caligula ********************************** Not Surprisingly, Stores Are Starting to Display Their Inventory of Easter Candy       ******************************* For Those Who’ve Experienced the Curse of Storing Curry or Spaghetti Sauce in Tupperware        ***************************** From the Theater of the Absurd…       *********************************** More From the “Theater of the Absurd” …If Being Clean and Organized is Racist Then What Does That Say About Certain People?       ************************************ Kids Today Can’t Understand the Struggle…       ********************************* How to Increase Reactions to Your Social Media Posts and/or Memes       ************************************ A Friendly Reminder As to How Liberals Think About Women…       ************************************ As Part of the Distractions Mentioned in the Opening Paragraphs of Today’s Funnies About This Week’s Events…       ********************************* Drum Beats of WW3       ******************************** As a Result, We Can Honestly Say…       ************************************ Remember ‘The Jetsons’?

Unless, of course, you want to see more risqué and/or NSFW memes… you can find them (HERE).

As always, we hope you enjoy our memes/cartoons/rants etc. and that they bring a smile to your face. We love to hear your comments so keep ‘em coming. And although the world seems pretty dark these days, we encourage you to see why you have a lot to hope for in 2023 and beyond (HERE). In the meantime, be sure to share these funnies with friends and family members. Caution: They may get offended. But remind them…It’s important to laugh together and laugh often. And be sure to tell them… We’re Not Just About Finance…but we use finance to give you hope. See You Next Sunday… Invest with confidence.

The Presidential debate: Well, Good Biden moments-“You don’t panic, he panicked.”  “It is what it is cuz you are what you are.” “Everybody knows he’s a liar.” Wouldn’t know suburbs unless he took a wrong turn.”  “Will you shit up man?” “Get out of your and trap.” Imagine if Bernie or a younger candidate with real energy were there. Imagine someone quick on their feet because we need that.  The bully style of scary clown 45 does fluster a normal person as it supposed to. Joe held his own and had real dignity though. It is hard to not respond to the President’s ridiculousness but he needs to be ignored.  Trump and son both seemed like they were about 8 Red Bulls into the day with all that pent up anger.  Who should be drug tested? Biden?  Trump went on about forest management but most of that land belongs to the Federal government.  ** I have never seen my mailperson trying to sell ballots.** Trump said that bad things are happening in Philadelphia. Biden should have showed some love for the state. He is on a tour of it now though. ** Chris Wallace said, “Why you not?” Was that a real question?  45 said, “I was a private business people.” They all had a little trouble talking. It is exhausting the way people put up with his manners.  **As soon as the debate was over, the Trump army wasted no time reaching out to goons to be poll watchers.

A judge has said that Florida has created an “unconstitutional pay to vote system.” This has now been overturned. What are the things that can be termed felonies to keep one from voting? The list includes releasing helium filled balloons, driving without a license, catching the wrong lobster and disturbing turtle eggs. Amendment 4 was originally put into effect to stop freed slaves from voting. But SB7066 makes sure that felons complete the terms of their sentences. The fines, fees and restitution can be hard to navigate. There must be proof before they can vote but all counties keep their own records and there is no organization statewide.  Mike Bloomberg, John Legend, Michael Jordon and others are paying off millions of dollars in debt for felons in Florida so that they can vote if they can unravel some of the puzzles. Now Florida Republicans are saying that that is also illegal.

Park Service diverts $2.5 million in fees for Trump’s Fourth of July extravaganza

"The diverted park fees represent just a fraction of the extra costs the government faces as a result of the event, which will include displays of military hardware, flyovers by an array of jets including Air Force One, the deployment of tanks on the Mall and an extended pyrotechnics show. By comparison, according to former Park Service deputy director Denis P. Galvin, the entire Fourth of July celebration on the Mall typically costs the agency about $2 million."

Park Service diverts $2.5 million in fees for Trump’s Fourth of July extravaganza

(Trump's VANITY PROJECT ... He always has to have the BIGGEST to cover his complete INADEQUACY)

The National Park Service is diverting nearly $2.5 million in entrance and recreation fees primarily intended to improve parks across the country to cover costs associated with President Trump’s Independence Day celebration Thursday on the Mall, according to two individuals familiar with the arrangement.

Trump administration officials have consistently refused to say how much taxpayers will have to pay for the expanded celebration on the Mall this year, which the president has dubbed the “Salute to America.” The two individuals, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, confirmed the transfer of the Park Service funds Tuesday.

The diverted park fees represent just a fraction of the extra costs the government faces as a result of the event, which will include displays of military hardware, flyovers by an array of jets including Air Force One, the deployment of tanks on the Mall and an extended pyrotechnics show. By comparison, according to former Park Service deputy director Denis P. Galvin, the entire Fourth of July celebration on the Mall typically costs the agency about $2 million.

For Trump’s planned speech at the Lincoln Memorial, the White House is distributing VIP tickets to Republican donors and political appointees, prompting objections from Democratic lawmakers who argue that the president has turned the annual celebration into a campaign-like event.

The Republican National Committee and Trump’s reelection campaign confirmed Tuesday that they had received passes they were handing out for the event.

“We’ve never seen anything like this,” Sen. Tom Udall (N.M.), the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on the interior, environment and related agencies, said in a phone interview. “No ticketed political event should be paid for with taxpayer dollars.”

The White House referred questions about the celebration to the Interior Department, which declined to comment.

Even as some critics questioned the White House’s handling of access to the Lincoln Memorial, officials from the Pentagon and the Interior Department were scrambling to transform Trump’s vision of an elaborate military and pyrotechnics display into reality.

Two Abrams tanks, two Bradley Fighting Vehicles and an M88 recovery vehicle sat on train tracks in Southeast Washington on Tuesday, destined for the Mall. Administration officials were finalizing aspects of Thursday’s schedule, according to a senior White House official, including a plan to have one of the planes in Air Force One’s fleet zoom overhead as Trump takes the stage.

Separately, according to two individuals familiar with the matter, the White House was negotiating with Park Service officials over whether to project an image from the 1969 Apollo 11 moon mission onto the Washington Monument for the event. Typically the agency does not allow projected images on monuments or historic structures, on the grounds that they should be preserved in their original form.

By tapping entrance fees to cover the presidential event, Interior is siphoning money that is typically used to enhance the visitor experience either on the Mall or at smaller parks across the country, with projects ranging from road and bridge repair to habitat restoration. The transfer amounts to nearly 5 percent of the funds that less-profitable parks used last year for upgrades, according to budget documents.

“This is a breach of trust with the public,” Theresa Pierno, president and CEO of the National Parks Conservation Association, said in an email. “The public pays parks fees to fix national parks and for educational programs, not the president’s parade.”

Udall said Interior Secretary David Bernhardt had yet to respond to a request he and two other Senate Democrats made two weeks ago for a full accounting of how the event would be conducted and what it would cost.

Amanda Yanchury, a spokeswoman for Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), chairwoman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the Interior Department, said in an email that McCollum “takes her oversight responsibilities seriously and will exercise her role as chair to get a full accounting of the taxpayer costs incurred by this event.”

The awarding of tickets to GOP supporters, which was first reported by HuffPost, has exacerbated tensions between the Trump administration and Democratic lawmakers. The White House has also provided a select number of tickets to top staffers at federal agencies, who are free to distribute them as they would like.

An official from the RNC, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the group’s inner workings, said in an email that the Democratic National Committee had received passes to White House events when a Democrat was in the Oval Office.

“It’s standard practice for the RNC to receive a small number of tickets to events just as the DNC did under Democrat Presidents,” the official wrote. “This is routine for events like the White House Christmas Open Houses, Garden Tours in spring and fall, etc.”

Tim Murtaugh, communications director for Trump’s reelection campaign, said in an email that his staff also received passes to the president’s Lincoln Memorial address.

“As a courtesy, the campaign was provided tickets for staff and their families and friends, much like for the Easter Egg Roll or White House garden tours,” Murtaugh said.

While the White House has hosted limited tours for years, this year’s gathering on the Mall marks a departure because presidents have not traditionally participated in the nation’s Independence Day celebration.

Brendan Fischer, federal reform director for the Campaign Legal Center, said in an interview that while it may not violate federal ethics law to distribute limited tickets to the president’s speech to party contributors, “it certainly looks bad.”

“Limiting public access to a public monument on Independence Day in favor of wealthy donors just sends a signal that our political system favors the wealthy and well-connected,” he said.

Since federal appropriations law prohibits using public money for political purposes, Fischer noted, the issue will depend on what Trump says in his speech. If he refers to some of the 2020 presidential hopefuls, or polling related to the race, Trump’s reelection campaign may be required to reimburse the U.S. Treasury.

“The content of the event, and the nature of the event, is probably the determining factor,” as opposed to donors getting to see Trump up close, he said.

A U.S. defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk frankly, said the Pentagon was not planning for tanks to be involved in the July 4 event until late last week. But after the president requested them, they were shipped up by rail from Fort Stewart in Georgia and first spotted by an Associated Press photographer Monday night.

The list of fighter jets and other planes involved in Thursday’s military flyover also has grown, with the Pentagon carrying out requests from the White House while Interior officials organize the overall celebration. As late as last week, according to two defense officials, the military was planning to have only about 300 service members involved in the celebration, primarily from drill teams and bands.

“The military isn’t in charge of this thing,” said one defense official, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. “This is a Department of Interior event that DOD is giving support to, and the White House is giving guidance on how they’d like us to celebrate the Fourth.”

The “Salute to America” marks the culmination of Trump’s two-year quest to mount a military-style extravaganza inspired by his visit to a Bastille Day celebration in Paris in 2017. His previous efforts to stage a Veterans Day military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in 2018 were scuttled after estimated costs ballooned to the tens of millions of dollars.

The Pentagon has referred virtually all questions about the celebration and the military’s involvement to the White House — a function, officials said, of the president’s desire to have some surprises during the event.

“We are referring everyone to the White House, who will be making announcements about the event timeline and participants,” said Jonathan Rath Hoffman, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman.

But the department is devoting significant resources to the celebration that are likely to measure in the millions of dollars, given the additional construction, transportation of heavy equipment and personnel, additional security, the price of fuel, and overtime pay that federal employees will receive.

The event will include appearances by the Blue Angels, an F-35 jet from the Navy, at least one aircraft from Marine Helicopter Squadron One and one of the planes used in the fleet for Air Force One, the specialized airliner that carries the president.

It will also include a B-2 stealth bomber, the batwing-shaped jet that debuted in the 1990s, and F-22 Raptor fighter jets, said a defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans before they are announced. Those details were first reported Tuesday by CNN.

Trump touted Salute to America twice on Tuesday, sharing a link to an Interior press release and publicly thanking the two companies that have donated pyrotechnics, Phantom Fireworks and Fireworks by Grucci.

“CEO’s Bruce Zoldan and Phil Grucci are helping to make this the greatest 4th of July celebration in our Nations history!” the president tweeted.
