A Reminder About Joint Chiefs Chairman
General Mark Milley as a Political Operative

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 7/16/2021 10:56:34 AM

Statements made by Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley about his belief that President Trump was contemplating a post-election coup should not be viewed in a vacuum. Last month this same General Milley was defending the teaching of Critical Race Theory to West Point cadets. (snip) now we have answers to previous 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.(snip) (2) Milley was then slow to react to Navy Secretary Richard Spencer threatening President Trump;

Comments:

In another article it was reported that PDJT said he had nominated Milley for JCoS because neither Mattis nor Obama liked him. He thought that was a good recommendation. Milley seems to have serious psychological problems.

CTH articles are never for drivebys. This one digs very deep and is well worth the time of those who are really interested in more than the headlines. A detailed look at why the Pentagon (personified by Milley) was seriously at odds with President Trump. Using the military was not Trump’s first choice. Recommended read for the thinkers among us...

Trump wasn't planning anything. However, the demosluts, MSM, and big tech have since Nov.3rd sure as hell are creating the conditions where a coup is better than 50/50 that it could happen.

Speaking of Milley’s appearance, can you believe he is only 63? He looks much older - those bags under his always-angry eyes. Constant glare. A strutting little pouter pigeon of a man, stubby little hands. Colonel Blimp. Wouldn’t a shrink have a field day analyzing his pathologies?

How many levels are the military officers indoctrinated with this evil? In my previous military experience, anything above "bird Colonel" isn't worth spit. Any General who went to West Point is likely a perfumed prince who thinks too highly of himself.

Milley is a disgrace...if he thinks that Trump supporters are Nazi-wannabes...he should have the good sense to keep his Marxist thoughts to himself...now 100 million patriots look at the CJCS as a political sycophant who looks and sounds like Jabba the Hut

Just because you go to Princeton and become a general doesn't mean you are smart. Same can be said about Joe Biden becoming potus. He didn't get there on his IQ or accomplishments.

Dems sweat Latino turnout in California recall 12 replies
Posted by earlybird 9/1/2021 2:35:12 PM Post Reply
With two weeks of early voting left before the California recall election, Democrats are tracking a worrisome sign for Gov. Gavin Newsom and the party at large — the governor’s relative weakness with Latinos. California is so solidly Democratic that it would take a near-total Democratic turnout collapse for Newsom to be recalled. But Latinos across the country shifted incrementally toward Donald Trump in 2020, with headline-grabbing defections from the Democratic Party in Florida and Texas in particular. Now, polls suggest this once reliable and fast-growing voting bloc for Democrats is softening on Newsom, even in this heavily Democratic state. It’s a reminder that Latino support for Democrats is not

The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) “remains divided on the most likely origin of COVID-19,” according to an unclassified report released on Aug. 27. “Two hypotheses are plausible,” the report explains, “natural exposure to an infected animal and a laboratory-associated incident.” In May, when President Joe Biden urged the agencies to “redouble” their efforts to find the origin of the virus, the IC had “coalesced around two likely scenarios but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question,” he said in a statement. To reach essentially the same conclusion now, the IC must have ignored major revelations, and there’s more to the story.

If one were to come up with a bumper-sticker definition of personal liberty, it would be something like “the freedom to be left alone.” A society that respects the liberty of its citizens is one in which the citizen can be left to live his life as he sees fit, beyond the basic duties incumbent upon all citizens.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby on Tuesday acknowledged that Americans were stranded in Afghanistan despite earlier comments to the contrary made by White House officials. He said it’s not clear how many remain. “Right now I think the tools we have available to us and that we’re going to use as a U.S. government is going to be more in the diplomatic, economic lanes, and we don’t really see a military role right now,” Kirby told MSNBC on Tuesday morning when asked if the U.S. military would play a role in rescuing those individuals.

Speaking from a secure video conference room on the third floor of the Pentagon at 8 a.m. Wednesday — or 4:30 p.m. in Kabul — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin instructed more than a dozen of the department’s top leaders around the world to make preparations for an imminent “mass casualty event,” according to classified detailed notes of the gathering shared with POLITICO.

That variant, called Mu, was first detected in Colombia in January, and has been announced just as the Delta variant finally appears to be peaking in the U.S. Over 4,600 cases of the variant, whose scientific name is B.1.621, have been spotted since then, and it has spread to more than 40 countries. Almost 2,000 cases of the variant have been detected in the United States.

How many times has Joe Biden ranted at us about why he is right on Afghanistan? I’ve lost track, but I think this at least the fifth “official” rant.

He keeps screaming about ending the war, a point that no one is even contesting

The president added that “my administration is deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v.
