Veteran suicide

As a combat veteran, well and truly shot at a fair amount in the unfriendly skies of the Vietnam war, I am amazed at the non-veteran, catch-all campaign against veteran suicide.

Please consider this ONE salient point here: The vast majority of combat veterans are NOT afraid of death. Their training removed that worry, and successful combat operations reinforced it. In fact, dying heroically has been glorified in all military structures since the beginning of organized warfare. Dying in combat IS the ultimate expression of a soldier's duty performed. Why then, are these non-combat REMFs (look that slang up) so insistent that a veteran CHOOSING death over life are so puzzled by veterans who make that ultimate choice?

What Thanksgiving means to me

What IS "Thanksgiving"? I'm going to go literal to answer this.

Thanksgiving is when we thank our Creator for our very lives. The schools used to teach this, but don't nowadays, they've turned the observance into some sort of a multi-culti object lesson .

The observances originally were held as a matter of local course by early colonists on these shores, but President George Washington made it an official observance:

"This historic proclamation was issued by George Washington during his first year as President. It sets aside Thursday, November 26 as "A Day of Publick Thanksgiving and Prayer."

While there were Thanksgiving observances in America both before and after Washington's proclamation, this represents the first to be so designated by the new national government.Signed by Washington on October 3, 1789 and entitled "General Thanksgiving," the decree appointed the day "to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God"." (citation here) .

Note the words titling the Proclamation (an early type of Exedutive Order): "Publick Thanksgiving and Prayer".

Thanksgiving is all about Piety and Prayer, and it is a day where we think, feel and express our personal piety and thank God for the Gifts He has bestowed on us recently.

Please hear my Prayer of Thanks:

I thank my Lord God for several things, but the first of them is that He gave up his only Son, Jesus, to lead us out of our Sin. (John 3:16)

I thank my Lord God for my very life, and the fact that He has seen fit, at my age of 76, that I continue it.

I thank my Lord God for the life of my dear wife Blanche, who He is having to fight VERY hard for at the moment.

I thank my Lord God for the lives and health of my children and my grand-children.

Finally, I thank my Lord God that He has held my Nation and society together in these parlous times, and thereby saved me from expending MY life to save The Union, as I am sworn to do.

YOU have done these things for ME, my Lord God, and I have the hubris to believe that YOU did them because YOU and Jesus love me.

Amen, my Lord.

 

Will the Swamp ever REALLY get Drained?

Knowing now that Obama likely started the "Resistance" vs Trump before anyone else knew about it, makes for VERY strong evidence to sue the Democratic Party into oblivion and RICO their $$$ FOREVER!

 

How about it, Judicial Watch? You have the people and YOU, ALONE, are still actively Draining The Swamp.

 

The usual drill in political lawsuits would have JW waiting until Barr and his DOJ give them the word, but there is a significant chance that "word" will never come down, that @POTUS will not order Barr to indict anyone, and Barr won't do it of his own volition, even though that's within his purview as USAG.

 

@POTUS seems satisfied with hammering out Tweets and using acerbic language at his tub-thumper rally-speeches.

 

As I've said before in these spaces, the "Resistance" including the phony "''peaching", will not stop unless and until one or more major (D)-players are booked on their indictiments. There is enough evidence for indictments, especially HRC, and now Obama himself, not to mention Holder and company, Bubba and Miss Lynn.

 

I am afraid that now there will be no accountablity for the worst cases of Treason in our 242-year history UNLESS JW steps up to the plate with a Civil lawsuit, and that will MAYBE springboard the conflict-adverse President into taking CRIMINAL action against this cabal of Traitors known as the Democratic Party.

The "New" World Order and why it must die

A somber subject to be sure.

Eighty years ago, most of the world went to war with National Socialists. The National Socialists, aka "Fascists", declared their "1,000-year Reich", a World Order, and were then totally defeated.

 

The victorious Nations got together, formed the United Nations, declared that National Socialism would never again besmirch the world, but the collegial diplomats did NOTHING to protect their planet.

 

Today, we have the "New" World Order, a shadowy group very much dedicated to achieving the same goals of Socialism that were defeated 74 years ago and were outlawed by those United Nations 70 years ago.

 

In the meanwhile, the United Nations has now become the biggest enabler of National Socialism, which masquerades as other things, but on it's face, real socialism can't hide it's face, even when it tries hard to do that.

 

We're about to have another war to defeat Socialism right here in this USA, and the "New" World Order will see to it that the war is again, a World War.

 

My father fought in WW2, won that VICTORY, and passed the ensuing Mantle of Peace down to me. I did MY military duty and protected it, as best as I could, and the Oaths I swore are as sacred as the Oaths my father swore before me and my Daughter swore after me.

 

Every day, in many ways, the "New" World Order of Socialism tries to blunt my Oath, and I will eventually have to take up arms again to make good on that Oath.

 

The "New" World Order has an objective: after destroying the world as we now know it, rebuild a nation-less global society, no borders, no ethnic differences, total fealty to the Order and it's leaders. There are over 6.5 billion people on this planet now, and the "New" World Order has decided that all but a billion of them are surplus, and famines and war is the best way to reduce the populations to their target level. Oh, abortion, also.

 

Maybe 30-50 people sit in the top rank of the "New" World Order, and at their behest, five and a half billion people must die, if their goal is to be met.

 

Unless that 30-50 people in the "New" World Order top rank dies first, the depopulation of the planet will happen.

 

YOU face a choice of whose side to take in this conflict.

 

I'm already sworn as to which side I will take.

 

Yes, the choice has come down to this.

No Obama peeps will ever see Prison

Don't make too big a deal out of USAG Barr announcing that he has a "criminal" investigation going vs. the Obama/NWO collaborators.

 

It won't mean a thing if it ain't got that ZING! For there to be justice served, President Trump has to harden his heart.

 

There's a Trump-wall there now, just like President Jerry Ford faced with Tricky Dick Nixon, and Trump will do the same thing as Ford did...pardon Obummer almost as soon as an indictment comes down or even before it when it becomes obvious that he WILL be indicted.

 

Of course, that would collapse the cases against the other major players. The end result will be that NOT ONE of the Obama/NWO collaborators does a day in prison.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings here, but your President has already showed this tendency, with the last few mass shootings, by saying that he felt gun ownership restrictions were okay to prevent further carnage, that AFTER he had stood on stage with Wayne LaPierre at NRA-Con and declared solidarity to protect the 2A against further Infringements.

 

He will be all about "Healing the Nation's divide" when it's Obama's turn to be indicted. Not only that, I don't think he will even ask/require Obama to apologize publicly, so Obama will walk, head high, and nothing will change, the "Resistance" will go forward, even as Trump wins re-election.

 

I hope my readers can see this. Hit pause on your "Trump-tightness" for a moment, and consider the REALPOLITIK involved. How often has Trump actually swung his Hammer except on Trade, and even with that, he's ready to wuss out with USMCA, a NWO Trade plan if there ever was one.

 

Nope, we elected Mister Nice Guy. WE can appreciate him for this quality, but the Left sure won't.

It was a helluva fight...

...for this hero to stay in the military.

I had my own such fight, but mangaged it to eventually retire.

Read about this amazing soldier here.

The USA vs the New World Order

(Same old conflict, different era)

Our Federal Constitution is anti-New World Order. By DESIGN.

 

When our Constitution was promulgated, there WAS a New World Order, the British Empire. Their Navy ruled the world's seas, their armies vanquished all they faced. It was His Majesty's Way or no way at all.

 

The Founders rejected the hegemony of the British Empire, formed a SEPARATE government with ELECTED, not ENTITLED leaders, and fought the King's armies to a standstill and ultimate victory at Yorktown.

 

The Founders did one more thing though. Knowing that Royalist feelings still ran high on these shores, and deducing that their new Popular government would eventually have to face Royalists again, the Founders gave that new American population the right to possess arms for DEFENSE AGAINST GOVERNMENT, should our Government try to go back to Royalism (the NWO).

 

The Second Amendment to the Constitution is NOT an anti-crime law, crime as we know it today was unknown in the Founders' day. The 2A was a check on the power of the Government, purely and simply. If that Government caved to the NWO, it was to be REMOVED. As such a bulwark, it was VERY anti-New World Order.

 

It still IS anti-NWO, and THAT is why the NWO, through all their proxies (D-Rats, Antifa, global Marxism in general), CONSTANTLY tries to weaken and remove the 2A.

 

This is just my opinion, but I do not believe we have budged the NWO on their opposition to the 2A at all. They will keep trying to remove it and grab all our guns, because they KNOW that they can't take over in this Nation until they do. Furthermore, following my logic here, the ONLY way the NWO will ever be defeated is like it was 241 years ago, on the field of battle.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble(s), but there is NO peaceful way out of this. We either face the NWO and defeat them utterly, or we accept them as our lords and masters and give up all our freedoms.

 

There is no middle ground that will work for us. It's us or them.

 

Shields up, double-front! We're going in!

Trump's Mistake

Did Trump make mistakes with his Finland trip? Not until today. Today he tried to "walk-back" his negative comments about US Intelligence. That's a BAD mistake.

 

Instead of trying to kiss MSM ass, Trump should have realized that he can't EVER play their game, because the objective of that game is PRIMARILY to make him look weak and indecisive, and he DID look indecisive today.

 

How would I have played it differently? I would have made a full-frontal attack on all the lies and ommissions of the MSM, and there were doozies. None of the MSM has discussed the Browder Bribe. Only Fox, and they had to be dragged to it; only Fox has discussed the "open-mike collusion" between Obama and Medevev. Fox hasn't mentioned the Hillary "reset button" gaffes either. All those items are appropriate for POTUS to bring up as examples of how the Left doesn't understand Moscow and has never dealt effectively with Russia at all. Trump needs Reagan lessons.

 

Trump has started the process of dealing with Russia by just meeting Vladimir Putin to get to know him personally. He made the meeting notwithstanding the efforts of his Intelligence chiefs, who don't WANT his personal diplomacy involved, they want to do their smoke-and-mirrors thing, which Russia, using their tried-and-true "Maskirovka" or deception-moves, well knows how to counter.

 

Vladimir himself is more than equal to the entire motley crew of US Intelligence alphabet-soup agency heads. Putin, after all, for years ran the most effective spy agency on the planet. Trump well knew that history, and knew that the only way to beat Putin at that game was to use his PERSONAL diplomacy to get inside that deception and expertise, and he just did. That drew jealous howls from the Intell Chiefs. Trump needs to counter those howls with orders: STFU or be fired. He hasn't, and instead kow-towed to the bleating of the Chiefs and the MSM, who took up those cudgels for the Intelligence community.

 

As THIS pundit sees it, Trump can still recover: his letters demanding the Intell Chiefs' resignations need to go out tomorrow morning. While his pen is warm, he can write one for USAG Sessions, whose mismanagement of FBI oversight led to this Intell Putsch to some degree.

 

Kick some ass, Mr. Trump, and the day can still be yours. Stand pat on this kow-tow you just did, and you've just put the 11/6 election in jeopardy.

Civil War Two is here - Part One

We presently have a full-blown Constitutional Crisis in progress. What gets done about it will determine if the "malaise" our Nation suffers through with the polarized Parties gets bad enough to drive us to Civil War, or whether a remedy can be found to put us on the track back towards Constitutional governance. Spoiler: I think that Civil War is already here. Read on...

 

Within two days after Trump won the election last year, the Democrats had declared "The Resistance". The purpose of this "Resistance" was simple: throw every possible roadblock in the way of the then-coming Trump Administration. As a party, the Democrats have fairly efficient internal cohesion, and they had obviously planned this as a fall-back in case their "inevitable" Hillary failed to win.

 

Next, Trump himself made some major mistakes. Early on after his victory, he messed around with grabbing advisers from anywhere he could find them. It was obvious that Trump was unprepared to implement his victory, because most of the "advisers" he selected early on were rats, like General Flynn. His campaign staffers SHOULD have been at work for months pre-selecting these people, but they failed to get that started, and Trump failed to notice that failure.

 

After inauguration, the Democrat's path became obvious, and it has been obvious ever since: slow the formation of Trump's Cabinet down to a crawl, denying him any impetus of movement. Not only the Democratic Party is involved in that, but the Liberal Judiciary is as well, allowing the filing of a blizzard of lawsuits against just about everything Trump has tried in the way of reforms in many different governmental processes. This slow-roll is VERY effective, and it will get worse.

 

How worse can it get, my astute Readers must be asking? Look at the little stunt that was pulled yesterday: Trump asked for a meeting with Democrat leaders Pelosi and Schumer, and they both failed to show up for the meeting! BTW, this is NOT a new trick, the Democrats pulled this to stymie the incoming GOP Legislature in Texas a few years back. In that case, the entire Democratic register of that Assembly left the State to avoid having to turn the Legislature over to the GOP which had won a majority.

 

Okay, you have the picture. Now I will ask the question that all the above history was written down to bring forward: When does this "Resistance" become an actual Rebellion against the constituted AND Constitutional authority of Mr. Trump and his party, the Republicans?

 

My answer is that it ALREADY is a definable and actual rebellion. First, it is a carefully-planned operation with the specific goal of refusing to allow the duly-elected Administration of President Trump to effectively hold office and proceed with his duties of Chief Executive Officer of the USA. Second, there is plenty of evidence that parts of this rebellious operation have been financed from offshore, by elements of international Marxism, specifically George Soros, who has budgeted 18 Billion dollars of his huge fortune to bring Trump's governance to a halt. Finally, there is the violence aspect, with the Marxist street-gang calling itself "Antifa", another Soros-paid operation.

 

In my not-so-humble opinion, this Nation is already involved in Civil War: The Left, and their political arm, the Democrats, have seceded from the United States of America.

 

Next: how and what can remedy this schism?

Another brilliant Trump move

I have my "Clue-stick" in hand now, and I'm in my engagement pose, strong foot forward. I am TOTALLY ready to smite anyone who believes the Deep State crap that Trump had a ""rude" slip of the tongue, or that a "racial" remark was said as he talked to the Navaho War Veterans last night and referred to one of his LIKELY opponents in the 2020 race as "Pocahontas".

 

On the "racial" thing, it doesn't exist, except in the addled brain of Elizabeth Warren. She and Trump are the exact same race, Caucasian. Is she STILL trying to foist off the phony AmerInd heritage she fraudulently claimed several years ago to get a $350K/yr job teaching ONE insignificant class at Harvard University? POTUS just used his saber on her balloon.

 

People, how could you be DUMB enough to believe that Trump's entire remarks were NOT built around this master-stroke of a preemptive attack on an opponent? Not only was it a master-stroke, but it has WORKED like a dream. EVERYONE has now heard about the "Fauxcahontas" story, because the Press Secretary just briefed briefed them on Warren's fraudulent deceptions involved with it.

 

Even Deep State Fox News, which AGAIN followed the Globalist Never-Trump line and chided POTUS severely for the remark, even "Faux News" had to recall the Fauxcahontas deception!

 

This demonstrates Trump's power of communications, and demonstrates it PERFECTLY. This move has the Bannon stamp on it, and I hope that Mr. Bannon got properly and well-paid for his work. This, people, is how you turn the worst evil of the corrupt media back on their own networks.

 

Brilliant, just brilliant.
