America has too many Generals who don't know when to shut up


 Is it just me or isn't this a very bad day for LtGen McMaster to be all over CNN saying President Trump is "unfit" to be Commander in Chief.

The pompous princes of the Pentagon are at it again in the election season.  I noted on it last time (1).  What is different now is they've since brought us the most disgraceful defeat of US forces in American military history.  

A defeat by - not an army, not a first world nation, but by a band of delusional, (formerly) poorly armed and equipped zealots.

And, none the less, we are STILL to listen to these men?  They should hide in disgrace, not preen with empty headed deep state cheerleaders on CNN.

I remember Kabul.  My family remembers Kabul.

And so does a competent military veteran and blogger who understood the war in Afghanistan.  Today he had some sharp, true, words about men like McMaster, men who are presumed to be our great military 'leaders'   (2)  ....

"The world's self-described super power selected the wrong people for the wrong reasons using the wrong selection criteria through a culture with the wrong priorities. This cannot be argued. The evidence is right there to be seen by all."

"And so, for two decades, the products of the 'best' universities, think tanks, and political organizations in what was once the world's greatest power brought us to the point where those kids and newborns of 2001 grew into adulthood only to be killed on the altar of their leaders’ hubris and lies."

"So, as Afghanistan falls in to shadow, hundreds to thousands of American citizens, green card holders, allied civilians, and our Afghan friends who we abandoned behind us will fear the dark. Waiting for footsteps to the door. Waiting for people who will never return home from errands. Wondering why no one will return calls and texts ... and wonder how they can escape back to the civilized world.

The fault, shame and humiliation are all ours; all red, white, and blue."

Does America have a survival instinct?

If so, it has just kicked in. 

I watched the entire Kennedy announcement speech.  It was a long string of truth bombs.  

Listen to it in full - https://youtu.be/n15oCfLdmXI  

Kennedy points out the Democrat party has become:
- the party of censorship, corruption,
- engaged in lawfare to keep me off the ballot,
- engaged in lawfare to put Trump in jail,
- ran a sham primary, a coup against Biden, installed a candidate without winning a single delegate,
- uses censorship of media and controls (unconstitutional) weaponized federal agencies,
- Kennedy notes a White House internet portal was set up for federal agencies to censor Kennedy's attempts to communicate with voters, this IS systemic attack on democracy,
- simultaneously the Dems wage war in Ukraine - Kennedy, correctly, states this was initiated by neocons in America after US agencies overthrew democratically elected regime in Ukraine, the objective of which was regime change in Russia.

Kennedy explains his agreement with Trump on existential //to our republic// issues he holds in common with Trump, i.e., freedom of speech, securing the border, getting the US intelligence agencies out of the business of surveilling Americans and interfering with elections.  

He is dead right on this.

Kennedy then provided a long list of fact based indictments against our medical/pharma complex.

It was an extraordinary speech by, like it or not, a man with unique insight on the food and pharma conditions within the US today.

Did it have impact? 

It was followed by this by Bret Weinstein - a Christopher Hitchens like leftist I've long listened to in order to understand where a very smart, ideological opponent (to me) is coming from - https://youtu.be/1LqWtNbXyT4

Weinstein explains the Dems speak "the inversion of reality" and "they cheat".  Weinstein said  'We have to defeat the blue team beyond the cheat margin'.

The mask has slipped from the ruling regime.   Smart people were watching.  Maybe enough.

Left minded Americans who genuinely care for America must vote for Trump.
