"If it doesn't work spend more on it" vs. "go back to what has worked since 1954"

                      "Transformational" leaders ... we're still dealing with the consequences

So many crying in the comments about our 'idiot' President.  

Sounds like we are hearing the bleating of political opponents, plus the aggrieved, incompetent  'expert' class, in the comments here.

Consider, unlike so many Presidents, Trump has actually built things,  He has had to cancel contracts on things like elevators for failure to perform.  He relies on 'experts' and 'friends' too often ... Fauci and Bibi come to mind, but, it is DOW/DON's responsibility to give him complete and accurate information.  If, on that information, he sees a deficient system - one that neuters a nuclear aircraft carrier and renders it, and its embarked air wing, unable to successfully execute its mission, he will display his real world businessman's lack of tolerance for NAVAIR/NAVSEA's way of doing things.

Another reason I, on balance,  still support him.  Oh, and he got Ibram Kendi off the reading list for Naval Officers. (1)

In truth, the time of the carrier, and a Navy built to police a global empire, is over.  We must get a realistic America FIRST strategy and properly downsize all of DOW to meet only our requirements. Instead of flight deck hardware Trump should focus on prosecuting Fauci, Brennan, and Comey and kicking the entire Israeli lobby/MEGA spy mechanism out of DC.  That would be defending our republic from the most immediate threats.

Listen to what they're saying to themselves and follow the money

In case you were wondering who was bankrolling the current crop of Communists, moslems, and Marcuse target minority group misfits infesting our political landscape (it’s the City of London Fabians and CCP) ...

Listen to the vision ...

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/inflection-point-arrives-dsas-unofficial-america-hating-communist-mascot

Been there, done that.  The old crew of misfits - with the addition of some in drag - is now funded by the CCP instead of Moscow.

Look beyond mainstream media, do your own homework and keep your powder dry.  Iran, Xi and the CCP,  Deep State, the Fabians and Davos megalomaniacs, so many want Trump - and our America - dead.  

How to recognize a DEI hire ...

They hate competence and hire folks just like them ...

Thank you President Trump and Secretary Hegseth.   This loon woulda' been a contender for SECNAV under Kamala.

Excellent article on rage peddling ...

Bannon at it again ...

He's got to understand the process.  He was Navy Pentagon liaison to congress once upon a time (OLA).  Just wants to generate resentment and harness it for political power.  

Gee ... kinda like Marcuse with the feminists, black nationalists, gays ....   Or "community organizer" Obama.

Tuckered out

 

Tucker posts a video called "It's Time to Save America" (1).

I only got so far as the 3:48 mark where he says Trump is threatening to nuke Iran.

Only 2 possibilities:

A. Tucker has never done any investigative journalism to see the bitter consequences to Iran of a major kinetic (precision bombing/embargoing) and non-kinetic (hacking) campaign to eliminate its electrical, water, communications, and economic infrastructure.  (Such a campaign needs to be coincident with a critical infrastructure defense at home OBTW.)

or,

B. Tucker knows - but is deliberately making sensational lies to advance the political agenda of his backers.

I'm going with B, but, regardless, he isn't worth the electricity it takes to hear him.  

Tucker is playing to a valid anti-Israeli influence concern while lying through his pearly whites.  Will he peel enough low info, terrorified middle class, white mid westerners to break Trumps ability to attack Deep State?

That's what he's betting.

Told 'ya years ago

Just found this.  Dr. John was a skeptic and didn't help me convince the Mrs about HCQ/Zn when it mattered.  

At least he's speaking true now.

The curious tale of hydroxychloroquine

Fauci is a mass murderer.  To save his Emergency Use Authorization thousands likely died for want of a simple treatment.

But, I told you that, and more, 6 years ago ...

UPDATE: 8/6/26 - Fauci and the PLA BIOWAR branch is responsible for the deaths of millions.  Over years has had opportunity to pocket amounts of some the most deadly material know to man.   PERP walk him and jail him pending trial.   https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/08/06/anthony-faucis-lawyer-contempt-congress-vote-crude-political-stunt/

At least he's never been hampered by excessive modesty

 

What is a Tucker Carlson?  The aged preppy who applied for a job at CIA ... (we are supposed to believe they didn't hire him and stage manage his career).

Soooo...

Now this … https://www.mediaite.com/politics/mtg-teams-up-with-tucker-carlson-and-thomas-massie-to-plot-new-political-party-the-movement-has-begun/

I admit to being wrong about Tulsi - she was great and I  hope we see her again - so I can be wrong again.

BUT ...

Tucker looks, and sounds, a whole lot like a Deep State asset intended to keep a competent conservative from following in Trump’s footsteps.  

However much I scream at Trump for his collossal  ego and being led by the Israeli lobby, he genuinely loves America and is making unprecedented, effective attacks on Deep State.  

And more than the commies here at home, more than team Davos, even more than the CCP (#2), Deep State is our greatest enemy.   And so, makes sense Deep State's asset is being applied to counter him and his successor.
