Facing the rising prospect of a major conflict with China, the nation needs senior military leaders who are, well, superb leaders.We're not getting that leadership.The problem starts with the most senior military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley.The Army officer had an impressive career up until his current job. A light infantry warfare specialist, Milley held commands in some of the Army's most prestigious units. As Army chief of staff, the general won praise for pushing innovation in procurement and strategy. Unfortunately, Milley's record as chairman of the Joint Chiefs has been far less inspiring.Over the past year, Milley has given explosive quotes to

Millie is a four-star dim pencil pusher. Fire him soonest. Mckenzie, too. And SecDef Austin. We are dam lucky nobody has instigated a conflict requiring these clowns to make wartime decisions. None of these characters knows how to fight a real military fight, just the day to day political snits that are spawned from the Resolute Desk.

Milley must not be fired. He must be tried for treason. I know how far gone our country is by the lack of interest in the revelation that he happily was back channeling our worst enemy. I guess we are so numbed to the hourly betrayals, the massive crimes, the total corruption of every vital part of our society and the complete breakdown of any of the usual moral codes, that we sit bewildered as we watch our way of life, our collective history be smashed into scattered junk. A couple of generations ought to be ashamed of themselves for not stopping the leftist cancer decades ago. Sorry kids, we couldn't stop obvious liars who promoted stupid ideas.

All four star generals these days are politicians. When I was in the Army I was in a position in 1962 where I got to spend a little time with a three star who was on General Patton’s staff in North Africa and later in Europe, he was a nice guy, but of course he had helped win a real war. Todays four stars are all heavily be medaled, but have never won a real war.

There are problems, then there are BIG problems. A weak United States military is a BIG problem. The direction that the current CIC and current weak leadership at the Pentagon has taken should be enough to make a large group of freedom-loving Americans very nervous. Perhaps if there was a moratorium prohibiting retired O-6 and higher from lobbying the Defense Dept. for, say, twenty years after their retirements, they may take the job of killing the enemy a little more seriously.

Milley is what is called a 'Knee Pad General'. When told what to do he puts on his knee pads and pays homage to the Political hacks that order him. While ON his knees guess what else he's willing to do...There is no depth of depravity Knee Pad Officers won't stoop down to in order to get promoted. PERIOD!

4 Star General Chuck Horner (ran the entire Gulf War Air War) was likely one of the last competent generals to wear the Stars. He got where he was because he led by example out front and never gave a sh** about his career. If his “betters” needed a crappy job done right they put him in charge. The clowns who followed him were mostly Potomac Peacocks who would occasionally go out and fill a square then scurry back to the Pentagon where it was safe and they could get back into the palace intrigue taking place there and on the DC cocktail party circuit.

There should be an investigation into just how any of these people rose to their positions they have now. One can have an impressive career without really doing anything. Promoting people who can't do a job very well is common practice in many corporations if the higher ups like the person enough. Promoting people gets them out of the way of the people who do the REAL work. I'm sure the military does the same thing. Milley and people like him may have reached their positions of power in the military simply because of who they are, and not what they've accomplished.

First Lady Jill Biden declined the opportunity to get a little wild on Saturday afternoon when she was offered a shot of alcohol by the owner of a bar she was having lunch at. The educator, 70, dodged a possible hangover the day before her husband, President Joe Biden, gets to work dealing with the concerning new COVID-19 Omicron variant. The first lady had gone on an afternoon shopping spree throughout downtown Nantucket on Saturday, walking the cobblestone sidewalks with a five-car motorcade and a gaggle of grandkids in her wake.

The Biden family offered their services to a huge, Chinese-government-linked energy consortium to expand its business around the world. How do we know? Because of hundreds of emails documenting the deal found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, left in a Delaware repair shop in April 2019. In her new book, “Laptop from Hell,” New York Post columnist Miranda Devine tells the tale: James Gilliar, a wiry, 56-year-old British ex-SAS officer, got to know Ye Jianming, the 40-year-old chairman of CEFC, when they were both working in the Czech Republic.

We reported on the announcement of a new COVID variant which they are now calling the Omicron variant. The variant was just discovered this week, but already you can hear the race to paint it in the worst light possible, suggesting that there was a lot to be concerned about because it was “heavily mutated,” that immunity and the vaccines might not protect against it. We saw the Dow take a huge plunge immediately after, likely in part because of thinking that this news could lead back to more government restrictions and problems. The Biden administration reacted in a chaotic fashion. First, Dr. Anthony Fauci said

As of Thursday, this tale of a magic castle in Colombia (or something) is expected to gross just $26 million over three days and an anemic $38.6 million over the full five-day holiday. First off, no one can blame streaming. This is a theatrical-only release. Secondly, no one can blame the pandemic. Plenty of movies are opening just fine. How bad is this? Oh, it’s bad. By comparison, one of Disney’s biggest bombs, The Good Dinosaur, grossed $55.4 million over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend.
