Henderson received a National Defense Service Medal and a Good Conduct medal during her service. She was also given the Navy “E” ribbon, among other awards.

Very interesting. It looks like the home is in a neighborhood which has not massively changed. I was wondering if the land was somehow conflicting with some developer's scheme to make big bucks in some building project and "needed" to have a "tragic fire". On inexplicable acts, it is good to fall back on the 2000+ year old "Cui bono?" inquiry. For the non-Latin scholars, that means "To whose benefit?". A very good question here. Who would benefit if that home were just gone? Look around for land developers, etc in the area, I would suggest. Perhaps she's just doing a job for hire....and not so bright to do it at 2 AM.

You get the National Defense medal for surviving basic training. You get Good Conduct for staying out of trouble for a few years. Dont know what the E is for but its likely just another "everybody" ribbon. The fact that the other ribbons werent named suggests the same. This is no war hero.

Maybe she just thought King was white or didn't do enough to actually make HER white. Or as others suggest, watching her methodically pouring fuel, maybe she WAS paid to torch the house.

E ribbon is a "Unit Efficiency" tab. Everyone aboard the ship,or perhaps the entire fleet, gets one after an exercise.

She did it in broad daylight. Not even tried to conceal what she was doing. She didn’t fight. One of the offscreen bystanders can be heard advising the man who restrained her how to hold her. I guess she might have been reminiscing about the episode with George Floyd. Meanwhile the perp did no struggling. These are all just weird visuals, don’t you think?

not to tarnish the young lady's military service but .... - those awards are give-aways for the different services and all you have to do is be on active duty during the time of a "conflict" and you get the NDSM and - the Good Conduct award is just a pat on the back for not bothering your company level commanders who would oversee Article 15 proceedings at the Company level - if she did her job and didn't make any waves she'd get these awards - the "E" award must be peculiar to the Navy and must reflect some level of adequate job performance so, good for her but - she probably should have stayed in and made it a profession .... then .... she could pat herself on the back for a job well done and have a pretty good pension to carry her throughout her life, depending on her rank which, if you pay attention and do your job the military is appreciative of that and promotes you without you having to ask for a raise in rank and pay - the military service is self promoting and how you do your job is all that matters, as far as rising through the ranks and gaining self respect and respect from your peers

There is no actual E-medal...it is a tab only, and as such in Dress Uniform the tab gets moved to above the right pocket, rather than the left. It originally was just a small sleeve patch, but new uniform design deleted it, so an female AZ3(aircraft maintenance bookeeper/clerk, lowest grade with 1.5 years service) who's hawkeye unit(airborne early warning prop plane) had earned 2 of them, designed and pushed through the approval for the tab replacing it in 1976. Upper grade AZ's include drug/alcohol counselors and diversity focused, equal opportunity advisors.

It seems to me that a black woman attempting to burn down Martin Luther King Jr.'s home is a much more intriguing story than any participation medals she (Laneisha Shantrice) might have gotten while in the Navy. But hey. I'm not in the media and, I suppose, the perp receiving a Good Conduct medal is more important to the story than her dousing King's home down with a flammable fluid.

Every member of the military gets a National Defense Ribbon right out of boot camp. Most of them get a "Good Conduct Medal" for behaving like a normal human being. Anything else she got was due to skin color. Don't try to baffle us with bullschiff. I left the Navy with a bunch of medals for doing nothing more than getting up every day and doing my job. Many blacks are unhappy with MLK's message because he suggested that they help themselves.

While we are on the topic of Military Decorations....Beau Biden's Bronze Star for Conspicuous Service was simply because Joe Biden made him "Conspicuous", by constantly mentioning him in campaign speeches, appearances and visit's during his 7 months "Training Civilian Judges" in one of Saddam's Palaces, far from ANY expended ordinance. Beau was also the sitting elected AG of Delaware at the time, had just been elected then "Volunteered" to be deployed, while still holding(and neglecting) his official AG duties. He was given a waiver but "Insisted" upon going, Joe had to twist arms and apply pressure to GET him deployed, over other JAG officers with better qualifications, longer service, and that were Active Duty/Career soldiers rather than over aged reservists. .

President Biden referred to the presidential helicopter Marine One as “Air Force Helicopter One” Monday — while claiming that Ronald Reagan sent the chopper to take him from Delaware to the DC-area Walter Reed military hospital when Biden had a brain aneurysm in the 1980s. The 81-year-old’s anecdote is, like other biographical details he’s shared in public remarks, not supported by his own autobiography — or by Reagan’s daily presidential diary. “President Reagan was nice enough to send Air Force Helicopter One to take me down, but it couldn’t fly,” Biden told firefighters during a day-trip to Philadelphia, using an incorrect name for the aircraft.

Former President Donald Trump has a double-digit lead over President Joe Biden in the key swing state of Michigan, the latest CNN Poll found. The survey showed Trump leading Biden nationally by eight points, 39 percent to Biden’s 31 percent, in a race that includes independent candidates. That gap, however, only grows in individual states such as Michigan, where Trump is now leading Biden by ten points — 50 percent to Biden’s 40 percent. Another ten percent said they would not support either candidate.

I'll start this with my typical poll story advisory: We're a ways out from the election yet, and it's a poll, so always take everything with a grain of salt. But I think this poll is instructive as to the general momentum moving toward former President Donald Trump and away from incumbent President Joe Biden at this point. Plus, the polls are starting to be redundant, with each finding similar things. So that gives them a bit more merit. First, let's start with the Real Clear Politics numbers as of Dec. 11.

Attorney Abbe Lowell, who is forcefully confronting prosecutors' arguments in both cases, made the filing in federal court in Delaware, where Hunter is accused of lying on a form when purchasing a Colt Cobra revolver in 2018 – at a time when he has written he was abusing crack cocaine and other substances. He cited recent court rulings on gun ownership including a recent Appeals Court decision striking down prohibitions on prohibitions on drug users possessing firearms.

After the past week's Congressional hearings, the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania are being exposed to an amount of publicity and scrutiny they're not used to and likely wish would go away. As we reported, the trio claimed that calls for genocide against Jews needed to be placed into context before deciding whether they violated student codes of conduct. The backlash was swift, and so was the backpedaling. UPenn's Liz Magill wasn't able to keep her job, though, and Harvard's Claudine Gay might not be far behind.

The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it. First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States. This comes on the heels of President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency saying this year it would impose new power-plant emission regulations that are virtually impossible for coal plants to comply with.

The previous commander of the Hamas battalion had already been killed by the IDF earlier in the war. Since 2019, Krikae had been the Deputy Commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion. He was previously responsible for anti-tank missile training in the Gaza City Brigade. Kirikae was also part of anti-tank missile fire and terrorist raids carried out inside Israeli territory. Following the elimination of the commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion during the war, Krikae temporarily assumed the position of battalion commander before also being killed by the IDF.

A Texas woman who sued the state to get an abortion for her high-risk pregnancy has left the state to have the procedure, her lawyers have said. Kate Cox, 31, sought an abortion after her foetus was diagnosed with trisomy 18, a potentially fatal condition that doctors said threatened her fertility. A lower court granted permission for an abortion, but the Texas Supreme Court put that decision on hold on Friday. Texas has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. Abortions in the state are prohibited from the point of conception except in rare cases where the life of the expectant mother is under threat.
