Years of Watching General Mark Milley

A statement made by Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley defending the teaching Critical Race Theory to West Point cadets has gained some attention. However, the comments Milley made today actually reconcile several years of CTH watching Milley operate and having puzzling questions. Remember, General Milley did some really odd things as Joint Chiefs Chairman under President Trump: (1) Milley never removed Lt. Col Alexander Vindman from his White House post after the underling compromised his leadership position. The pentagon left Vindman on assignment to the NSC even after Vindman attempted to take-down President Trump.(2) Milley was then slow to react to Navy Secretary Richard Spencer threatening President Trump; attempting

Outrageous babbling. Spinning like a top. What does "his wanting to know" have to do with teaching CRT to West Point cadets?

Milley is a boob. He wants officers to be well read, but I haven't seen a well read GO since the early 90s. Unless he means reading the Army Times, which doesn't count.

A bit of a parallel sidebar. I read Kurt’s column this morning. And I’m in lockstep with his thinking. Except today. He sort of wishes PDJT would take a backseat (side seat) in the 2024 race. Kurt’s man is Ric Grennell. After reading Sundance’s assessment of Milley, Ric or PDJT would be the only ones (MAYBE DeSantis) who could take on the infested military apparatus. I think PDJT has learned his lesson and would be more prepared in 3 years to see through their machinations and deceptions. Guess we’ll see.

In order to see multiple stars shimmering on their shoulders, military field grade officers must first and foremost be politically connected, and have one or more political “rabbis” who have political go-power in both the Congress and the so-called military-industrial complex. They are in essence insider military bureaucrats, just as there are high level civilian bureaucrats who are sometimes referred to as the insider DC “Deep State”. So it is not surprising that a high ranking General, who was successful in moving up through the General Officer ranks during the Obama-Biden Administration is by definition what amounts to be a anti-Trump Democrat.

A Joint Chiefs Chairman of any rank has no sway over a civilian Navy Secretary. Besides, President Trump was the Commander-in-Chief and didn't seem to trim Milley's and Mattis' sails as he was constitutionally entitled to do.

Having had a two star in the family.....I can say that up to that rank it was entirely possible to be 100% NON-political in the 60s and 70s, just be a good officer and do an outstanding military job. After that point, which is about where you can't actually command forces any more and have to head to the Pentagon, you get a 'choke point', and too many of the really good men decide "That's it, I'm out of here" and retire, not wanting the political baloney. The sad part is that the dangerous fools like Milley just love if when the real non-political warfighter types getting out of the running at the two star level. It leaves the field more open for the slimeballs and apple polishers, and brown nosers.

The one issue that frustrates me personally; amid the known deep weeds and moves of the RNC as a club and their vitriolic hatred for the Tea Party before and MAGA movement now; is why President Trump continues to express confidence in Ronna McDaniel. Yes, there is always going to be intra-party factions within the Republican system as a whole. However, the (at best) 10 to 20% of the club establishment, the Wall Street Multinational faction, are toxic to the objectives of restorative Americanism. The club elites, and this includes current RNC head Ronna McDaniel, simply hate the vulgarian middle-class and the base of the movement.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards vetoed a bill passed by the bipartisan state lawmakers that would have nixed the permit requirement for carrying a concealed handgun. The governor, a Democrat, said he’s a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and an “enthusiastic outdoorsman and hunter,” but he can’t support permitless concealed carry. “I simply cannot support carrying a concealed carry firearm without proper education and safety training,” he said in a statement. “Our current system strikes the right balance of ensuring that people can bear arms while also keeping reasonable permitting and training processes in place …

This week, New York's Supreme Court took the extraordinary step of suspending Rudy Giuliani, former federal prosecutor and counsel to former President Trump, from practicing law. As a long-standing critic of Giuliani for his baffling, self-defeating and at times bizarre statements, I found the action was, on some level, reaffirming. However, the fluid standard applied in Giuliani’s case raises serious concerns over how and when such suspensions will be imposed against lawyers in public controversies. Indeed, the Giuliani standard would seem to implicate a wide array of attorneys who straddle the line of legal and political advocacy. (Snip) is deeply concerning in its heavy reliance on Giuliani’s statements out of court.

General Milley of the Joint Chiefs of Staff turned in a performance that was part gaslighting and part humiliating theater. It's hard to imagine how his part in the hearing could have gone any worse than defending the imposition of critical race theory by arguing, “I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist.” The military does not, as of yet, conduct Communist indoctrination sessions. And while officers might have read Mao and Lenin, they weren't being told to read it because it was "on the right side of history". As I said, yet. At the rate we're going it may only be a

President Biden’s topic was one of utmost importance Wednesday — crime and gun violence. But you wouldn’t know it from the way he spoke. He slurred his words. He called the ATF “the AFT.” At one point, he talked about the history of the Second Amendment and “the blood of patriots” before concluding that someone would need nuclear weapons to take down the government. If you weren’t confused, you were horrified. Biden was obviously tired, speaking in barely a monotone. He couldn’t pronounce “cognitive.” The media would pick apart every appearance of President Donald Trump, saying, even in news stories, that he was “manic,” “exhausted” or some other adjective.

Predictably, Vice President Kamala Harris’ tour of Latin America failed as a debut of her diplomatic credentials and showcased her inability to address the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.

WASHINGTON – In a blow to organized labor, a divided Supreme Court ruled in favor of two California fruit farmers on Wednesday who said union organizing on their orchards represented an unconstitutional taking of private property. At issue in the case was a 1975 California law that permits union organizers to access farms 120 days a year during non-work hours to meet with employees. The farmers said the intrusion represented a taking that violated the Fifth Amendment’s prohibition on the government seizing private property "without just compensation." Six conservative justices agreed with that reasoning while the court's three liberal justices dissented.

As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." In my opinion, this definition can be applied to a majority of the young, brainwashed radicals who have no idea about the true history of Marxism

For two hundred forty years, American generals have not exactly been defined by adamant public advocacy for left-wing cultural dogma. Yet there appeared to be a great awakening at the Pentagon on Wednesday when Gen. Mark Milley, the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified at a House hearing. The Chairman vehemently defended the teaching of critical race theory at West Point and, referencing the January 6 Capitol riot, said, “it is important that we train and we understand ... and I want to understand white rage. And I'm white." In response to conservative criticisms

Kamala Harris seems to be met with protesters wherever she goes. As we reported, she was met by protesters, when she went to Guatemala, telling her to “Go Home.” Now, as she visits El Paso, Texas, protesters are out there for her photo op in the area. But I’m thinking that wasn’t the photo op that she wanted. The Hispanic, Trump-supporting group of protesters also gifted her with a new nickname, “Que mala,” which would translate to “how mean,” or “how bad.” A great, short expression of “how bad” she and Joe Biden have been for the border — and for the country in general.
