Would like to believe him, but I see no corroboration that he wrote it when he said he did and not when he wrote his book. Maybe he can also get some corroboration that President Trump asked about "shooting 'protesters' in the leg or something" (although people trying to burn down a church and throwing rocks/bottles, etc. at police really shouldn't be labelled "protesters".

Thoroughly stupid Milley. We are in deep trouble when woke imbeciles like this rise to the top. If Milley was transported back in time to WW2, he might have risen to command a company provided he did what he was told by the first sergeant. War ends, Milley returns to his former occupation, gym coach, provided he lost a few pounds.

FTA: After consulting with current and former national security officials, including former Secretary of Defense and CIA chief Robert Gates, he decided to stay on, later telling his staff that he would instead "just fight [Trump] from the inside.” Medals Milley just confirmed what we all already knew with that statement.

There is ONE valid measurement of any Policy...did it work/does it work. Particularly where the Military is involved. After weeks of rioting in DC, and months of rioting across the country...in DC it STOPPED that day. No body got killed, or even hurt...not BY the cops/military... and... Cops stopped getting hurt every day, stores stopped getting looted/burned every night, cars stopped getting looted/burned, churches stopped getting looted/burned. People stopped being robbed and beaten on the streets(except in the neighborhoods where they always got robbed and beaten) Thoroughly Modern Milley seems to think what "Sounds/Looks" good is better than what Works, and forgets HE is not the one elected to "solve" things. Here again he couches his condemnations of Trump in "Racial" terms, the majority of the rioters, instigators, funders, and fomentors of the rioting were NOT anything but white. The individuals, businesses and cops being harmed by the rioters were primarily "Of Color".

While most men accept the surface of things, the masters of men use the surface to mean many different things for their many different ends. If you wish to understand politics, do not listen merely to the words political people say but rather inspect below the surface for the necessities such people may face. The same applies to entire nations. On the surface level, we may still have de jure freedom and democracy in America, but below the surface, the government's necessary evils have expanded to a de facto tyranny of loosely aligned interests.

Republicans went into the midterm election Tuesday hoping to take back Congress from Democrats in a "red wave." When that didn't happen, many began speculating about what led to the low performance, but U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) said the GOP has no one to blame but themselves. "For more than two decades, all across America, GOP office-holders have dismally failed to protect and promote moral values, border security, liberty and freedom, balanced budgets, family incomes, the public's interests (not special interests), free enterprise, and the like," Brooks told 1819 News.

Teachers' unions have long been controversial in the United States, especially now, as polarizing discussions about public education in America are front and center. The most prominent teachers’ union in the United States is the National Education Association (NEA). By extension, the NEA has affiliates throughout the country...."The Communist governments consider it a great propaganda coup to have their phony 'unions' accepted around the world as 'true representatives of the workers,'" the AFT brochure read. "When the NEA establishes ties with these groups and agrees to have official exchanges with them, it plays right into the propaganda maneuvers of these totalitarian governments.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing is just "the left's new way of imposing their worldview on the country," according to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. ESG is an approach to evaluating how a corporation aligns itself to social goals beyond earning a profit for its shareholders. These goals often pertain to environmental sustainability but also to advocacy for certain social movements and commitment to "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DE&I).... Other critics have called ESG investing a "wokeness report card" and compared it to China's social credit score system.

One Alabama embalmer will perform his job in silence no longer. Richard Hirschmann has been the impetus for recent disturbing pathology reports of abnormal blood clots found and removed by embalmers from the corpses they embalmed. Hirschmann claims this pattern has only emerged in his line of work since the onset of COVID-19 and the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccines. Hirschmann lives in the southeastern part of Alabama and has practiced there as a private contractor for the past 20-plus years. The embalmer said he started to notice this unusual substance in his work in the summer of 2021.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel for two ongoing criminal investigations by the Department of Justice of former President Donald Trump.   Smith’s appointment came three days after Trump, a Republican, announced plans to run for president in 2024.   Trump’s move directly led to Garland’s decison to appoint a special counsel, who will recommend whether criminal charges should be lodged against the ex-president. The attorney general was appointed by Biden, a Democrat who defeated Trump in his 2020 re-election bid. Biden could again face Trump again in the 2024 election. CORRECTION*

Still smarting from the reproof of 2016, the Obamas take any opportunity to publicly defame the character of the political outsider who upset the collective vision Barack hoped Hillary Clinton would set in stone – as well as the people who voted for him.

Yet it is also the case that Trump has been pronounced politically dead many times in the past, and in most of those cases the cause for the premature Code Blue calls has been his big fat mouth. He has never been able to control his impulses, and has never been a nice guy. This has not stopped his ability to
