Retired US Army Colonel, believer in the values expressed by those Presidents enshrined on Mount Rushmore, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence & not the transactional, narcissism & authoritarianism practiced by the current occupier of the WH
Intelligence drives operations at the tactical and operational levels of war Grand Strategy drives Presidential decisions, not intelligence The goal of regime change and denuclearization thru Sea, Air, & Cyber operations were doomed to failure from the start But blowing stuff up looks good on TV
Submit and then disappear into the American Gulag . . . So much for the 4th Amendment
The US Senate has been failing the Republic since Trump's first administration They had 2 chances to banish Trump to the dustbin of history and they failed miserably They all need to read Federalist Papers No 62-66 for their duty description.
Not to mention tariffs are adding to our inflation rate. Unfortunately, the most watched "News Outlet" in America, Fox News, will not report any of this and the once respected Wall Street Journal, now owned by the Murdochs, won't report it either.
Reminder: Tariffs are a tax on the importing country. Trump's Tariffs are a tax on the American people. We, the American Consumer, will pay/bear the cost of Trump's tariffs. I suspect our Canadian friends are once again laughing at our ignorant President. We are the laughing stock of the world
In the last 50 years the 2 major political parties have usurped the powers inherent in the Constitution. Congress no longer protects its power jealously & does whatever the party tells them to do. Party before Citizens, Constitution, & Country RCV restores power to the people
Over 50% of veterans identify as independent voters. That number is as high as 59% among post-9/11 veterans. SC is home to about 390,000 veterans Closed primaries could disenfranchise 195,000 veterans who swore to support & defend the Constitution not a political party More voters are independent
Someone needs to tell her Ukraine is part of Europe and at least 10 EU countries have had Russian aircraft (including fighter jets and drones) or ships violate their territory since the invasion of Ukraine: Poland, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden, France, Germany, and Belgium.
Before Trump decided to trash Pax Americana and the international rule of law established by America and it's allies at Nuremburg, American leaders held their war criminals accountable, most notable, William Calley. Now that we don't follow our rule of law the ICC poses a threat to Trump et. al.
No Ukraine No Latvia No Estonia No Lithuania No Georgia Putin said he would restore the Soviet/Russian Empire
8 Immigrants signed the Declaration of Independence 7 Immigrants signed the US Constitution; to include Alexander Hamilton There is a reason there is a big fucking statue in New York Harbor
". . . .we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." He just sacrificed his promotion to LtCol, federal retirement pension and medical care for life.
The question becomes how do we shield the Senate from the "passions of the people" and the corruption from billionaires. Madison believed the role of the Senate was to protect the people from their rulers and from themselves The Senate has been failing the US Constitution & people since 1987
That's the way it was before 1913 US Constitution, Art. 1. Sec 3: The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote. Amended in 1913 by the 17th Amendment
Unfortunately, in 2024 2.66M Georgians voted for the draft dodging, lying, cheating, stealing, rapist, traitor, bigot, racist Donald J. Trump. Being a bigot and antisemite and a man of poor character isn't necessarily a liability in Georgia
In the SCGOP runoff for governor, the campaigns spent $2.5M on vitriolic and misleading campaign ads in a 2 week period. It will probably end up costing the SC Taxpayers an additional $3M to fund these private party elections, just so 10% of the people could elect them. Waste of time & money RCV ✅
"Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters." - Abraham Lincoln 2026 SC Primary Participation Rate: 25.30% SC Runoff Participation Rate: 10.55%
On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Mencken
You know he is going to Pocket Veto the bill. The House will adjourn in less than 10 days.
I think he pulled the confirmation hearing so that his acting DNI, Bill Pulte, will have more time to weaponize the intelligence community against the American people and to dig up classified material on foreign leaders for Trump to use once he is out of office.
