Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard Support the Troops By Taking Selfies
For many people, one of the most infuriating things about the Duggar clan is their inability to practice what they preach.
They claim devotion to the teachings of Jesus, and yet they dedicate their days to amassing wealth.
They insist on privacy when it’s convenient, yet they’ve made careers out of sharing the details of their private lives on social media.
And, as many have pointed out in recent years, they talk a big game about their support for the US military, despite the fact that none of the Duggar men (and there are many) have ever served a day in the military.
Obviously, you can support the troops without having served in the armed forces, but some folks are accusing the Duggars of supporting the military only in a performative, insincere fashion.
Over the weekend, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard attended a fundraiser for veterans.
Jill posted the above pic, along with the very lengthy caption below:
“To all American military veterans and their families, THANK YOU, we love you and are supporting and praying for you!!! We were able to attend a veteran’s gala hosted by @getitatsamsnwa (thanks @davidlaningham & @sierrajodominguez for your help and @cldilla for watching the boys!)
“It was such a powerful night! Our returning military often fight their greatest battles after they return from the field and it’s our job as civilians to do whatever we can to raise awareness and reach out in support.
“There are so many organizations that help us do just that, one amazing one is the REBOOT Alliance!
“What are your favorite ways to support our troops and their families?
We probably don’t need to tell you that several folks answered that question with something along the lines of “by actually serving in the freaking military!”
The issue of why the family has no involvement with the US military despite their constant talk of supporting the troops is a common subject of inquiry on Duggar-themed message boards.
Responding to the question of whether a Duggar would ever enlist, one fan on the Free Jinger site responded:
“No, never. They’d have to interact with ‘commoners’ plus take orders from someone other than Daddy.”
Others pointed out that serving would put the Duggars in contact with folks who engage in such sinful activities as swearing, smoking, and drinking.
None of this is to say that Jill and Derick were wrong to pose for selfies at a swanky event designed to raise money for veterans.
It’s just odd that there are so many Duggars and none of them seem to have any interest in serving.
Maybe they should get over their fear of f-bombs and Marlboros so that they can serve their country.

Noah Brown: Rhain IS Taking My Last Name, No Matter WHAT My Family Says!
On Wednesday, August 15, Alaskan Bush People star Noah Brown married Rhain in a heartwarming wedding ceremony.
Some “fans” of the show and the family have never liked Rhain, and rumors began to surface that Rhain wasn’t allowed to take Noah’s last name.
Noah has come forward to clear things up, once and for all.
Noah Brown spoke to RadarOnline to lay this rumor to rest.
“Rhain is my wife,” Noah affirmed.
Not that there was any doubt — but, especially for newlyweds, that statement can feel powerful.
“And,” Noah continued. “She is my wife for life.”
Noah then makes it clear: “and of course she will be taking my last name.”
Noah cannot help but gush about his new life.
“It feels wonderful to be married,” Noah shares.
He mentions that his wedding date was a long time coming.
“Rhain and I were engaged for over a year,” he reminds fans, before repeating: “And we are finally married.”
He really loves saying it. That is so cute.
He says that the feeling of being married has really improved his life.
“It is like this huge weight has been lifted,” Noah says.
They’re no longer engaged and deciding when and where to get married or trying to work out any of those details.
Noah concludes: “We can finally focus on being husband and wife.”
Good for them!
Obviously, not ever woman who marries a man then goes and changes her last name to match his.
Some hyphenate. Some simply leave their names as they are. It depends on many factors, but ultimately comes down to personal preference.
Changing a name can be a troublesome and time-consuming and expensive process. It was probably a lot simpler a century ago when few women were gainfully employed or owned property.
Sometimes, it can take a new bride some time to change her name — remember, you have to change things like deeds and bank accounts in the process.
Just because someone hasn’t raced to do so instead of going on her honeymoon doesn’t mean that she’s never changing her name. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
Noah has been something of a black sheep in his family, which is probably why he gets more grief from fans and viewers than Bam Bam does.
Both sons fell in love and moved on with their lives, but Noah was always a little weird (yes, even weirder than his siblings).
The kid who’s a little goth isn’t going to thrive out in the wilderness, folks. He’s a grown man and he’s allowed to live his wife.
Some fans turned their ire on Rhain, even accusing her of “copying” Noah’s sister Rain’s name, because Rhain’s birth name is Ruth.
Folks, people can change their names any time that they like.
We’re not sure why people think that Rhain would want to copy her now-husband’s sister’s name. Noah dragged Rain on Instagram just a couple of months ago.
Also, Rain Brown’s full name is Merry Christmas Kathryn Raindrop Brown. How would you even begin to “copy” that?
We’re so glad that Noah and Rhain found each other and we hope that they continue to enjoy their wedded bliss.
Fans (and so-called “fans”) will continue to say whatever they like about Noah and Rhain, but the further removed from reality television that Noah is, the less that these haters can touch them.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro to Jen Harley: You Almost Killed Me So I"m Taking Our Kid!
If you watched Jersey Shore Family Vacation this season, you know that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro became embroiled in some serious baby mama drama.
And if you follow Rahn on social media, you know the situation only deteriorated once the cameras stopped rolling.
The first sign of trouble came when Ronnie called Jen a c-m dumpster on social media and accused her of cheating.
Didn’t think things could get worse from there?
Then you don’t know Ronnie romances.
Earlier this week, Jen was arrested for assaulting Ronnie.
It was eventually revealed that she had dragged him down the street as he clung to her car during an altercation.
Harley told police that Ron hit her several times, but they determined that she was the primary aggressor, and she was taken into custody.
Yes, the whole thing is enough to make Ron’s fights with Mike Sorrentino look like guido child’s play.
The situation (no pun intended) is made all the more tragic by the fact that Ron and Jen have a 3-mon th-old daughter together.
And now, it seems Ronnie is taking steps to ensure that little Ariana will has as little contact with her mother as possible.
According to TMZ, Ron is gunning for primary physical custody of his daughter.
The site claims that Ortiz-Magro has hired a family attorney and plans to get o after Jen with everything he’s got.
But he’s also being realistic with his expectations.
Ronnie is reportedly going for 50/50 custody, which TMZ’s legal experts say he’ll probably get.
Sources claim he wants sole physical custody but has been counseled that that’s a long shot.
After all, Jen may have been arrested for domestic battery, but Ronnie wasn’t blameless in the incident.
And his best bet is to shoot for a custody arrangement that Jen will agree to.
If this thing goes to court, Jen’s got hundreds of hours of video evidence that Ron is a seriously unstable dude.
Here’s hoping both of these two can sort themselves out for the sake of their daughter.
