I think it is inarguable that the military created by Joe Biden and Kamala is only fractionally as effective as the military under Trump. And even in Trump's first term, the rot of DEI and "gender equality" had already taken root. The failure of Biden and Harris is made clear every day as the only way the services make their manpower goals is by cutting end strength. //

The official and institutional embrace of sexual fetishes as a normal part of the military has been shocking. The clips Trump shows are nowhere near as bad as the situation really is. //

Trump says he will “fire” America’s military generals and replace them with MAGA loyalists, echoing Project 2025

12:24 PM · Jun 2, 2024 //

FOX NEWS: Are you going to fire those generals? The woke generals at the top?

TRUMP: Yes, I would get rid of them. Yeah. But see, now I know them. I didn’t know them before. But, you know, I came in, what do I know? I was a New York real estate person. But no, I’d fire. I would fire them. You can’t have woke military. //

If Trump intends to politicize the military, filling the ranks with loyalists, it sets the stage for a dramatic and fundamental change in how the United States is supposed to operate.

I'd encourage this guy to review how Thomas Jefferson dealt with known Federalist Army officers or ponder the fact that the military is not the civil service. The military is not an independent power center that has "equities." The president is the commander-in-chief. Every commissioned officer is appointed at each step of his career by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. I have a copy of the Congressional Record when the Senate voted to make me a second lieutenant. No one is advocating a partisan military, but Trump and many of us would like to return to the days when active-duty general officers, or even retired general officers, stayed out of partisan politics and basic standards of civilized behavior adhered to; see General Mark Milley Reportedly Stocking Up on Brown Trousers in Case Trump Is Reelected – RedState. The president has the right, and I would argue the duty, to ensure that senior officers faithfully execute his will and not sandbag him behind his back.

The former president has lashed out at generals before, but this was new. Trump apparently envisions a system in which U.S. military leaders will be subjected to some kind of ideological review, in which members of a task force — whose members will presumably be appointed by Trump — will go about assessing the generals’ and admirals’ personal attitudes.

Those deemed “woke” will apparently see their military careers curtailed.

What could possibly go wrong?

There is nothing wrong with Trump doing just that, and the worst results of that process would not be as bad as what we've seen with the military being suborned on a wholesale level by the left. //

The (false) assumption by this leftist tool is that the CURRENT military leadership is somehow apolitical. Nothing could be further from the truth. Obama retired hundreds of officers who didn’t support his view of the military, enabling the remainder to be politicized to implement the leftist agenda. Trump needs to purge (yes, the correct term) any officer at any level who supports the “woke” agenda and has implemented DEI policies from the last administration. If the leftist don’t like it, tough doo doo.

Oh, and call Miley back to active duty so he can be reduced in rank and court martialed. //

I was Army during the Obama reign of terror and I don't recall the number but he purged hundreds of Army officers at the general down to the colonel level because of their lack of social conscienceness or something like that. He forced warriors out and put in politicos and now we are continuing to reap the fruits of that disaster.

Trump is a man with many flaws, but……..

He is intelligent, ran successful businesses, stepped up to the plate when needed, did not use politics to amass a fortune and did not use sex to advance any career he has. Speaking of which, he has had several successful careers. He was wildly successful as POTUS - within the means he had at his disposal and despite internal sabotage, until the “setup” a once-in-a-century pandemic, originating in America’s greatest geopolitical threat, just HAPPENED to occur at the most vulnerable time for his re-election. With all that’s happened since, doesn’t that seem to be a strange coincidence?

On the other hand, Kamala Harris has ZERO success on her own and really has no consequential successes to speak of. She got where she was by being an influential politician’s mistress after having an academic background that seems to be a secret. She became a United States Senator in a state that has funky nomination rules, funky election rules and a population who would elect Attila the Hun or Daffy Duck if they ran as Democrats. At least Attila had skills. She was the worst presidential candidate in the history of the Republic and her ONLY qualification for VP is that she is a “woman of color”. Seriously? She has shown herself to be vapid and vacuous. She cannot think extemporaneously. Her personality is such that staff quit in droves. If you research her background, you will see that her ideas and policy proposals at BEST are Socialist and at worst are thinly-veiled Communist. If the media and “influencers” in the USA are trying to hide all this stuff, people should ask the question, why?

People may HATE Trump’s personality and/or may be so intellectually incurious that they believe the hit jobs on Trump that are coming from everyone whose power (and money) sources are being threatened by him, but to choose someone who is so ridiculously unqualified for ANY executive position over him is just plain nuts.

She thought that October 7, the one-year anniversary of the massacre in Israel, was the right day to get all dolled up and pretend she's some sort of fashion icon? This speaks directly to the incredibly tone-deaf ways and poor judgment that have come to define Kamala Harris. And it's precisely because of her repeated missteps that the media is trying to come to her rescue. //

His new film “Line in the Sand,” however, may go down as his biggest achievement yet, as it is a powerful, moving look at the border crisis, the human trafficking that goes with it, and the moral rot at the center. /)

I asked him what surprised him most while making this film, and he said it was the endless grift:

All the people that are on the take, all the people that were making money off of this. All the people that were not willing to do the right thing because they wanted to benefit. I don't know if that was surprising—but it was shocking to hear what people were saying.

Perhaps the most interesting thing he revealed, however, is just how much money is involved in perpetuating the problem and how many people on both sides of the boundary are benefitting from it—even as it endangers our country and causes misery for untold thousands (millions?).

Although O’Keefe didn’t get especially political in the film, the reality that he deftly portrays is one of a humanitarian disaster in large part caused by the corrupt Biden-Harris regime, aided and abetted by NGOs and others profiting from pain.

Many of the residents we spoke with lost their homes to landslides and flooding during Hurricane Helene.

The Daily Signal asked people a simple question: “What do you want to say to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris?”

An overwhelming majority said that they are frustrated that the U.S. government is spending billions of dollars abroad instead of helping American citizens first.

Frank Butera, a business owner in Lake Lure, said, “It’s nice that you’re helping the illegal immigrants, but it’s time to help us people that paid taxes all our life.”

Must watch TV as the Press Briefing leads to KJP storming out

Peter Doocy & KJP get heated over Biden sending money to Lebanon without Congressional approval but refusing to do so for North Carolina.

Doocy: "You can't call a question you don't like misinformation."

3:03 PM · Oct 7, 2024. //

But as Doocy pointed out, Biden is "fond" of saying, "Show me your budget and I will tell you what you value.". //

Imagine you're suffering from the hurricane or you have family who are, and you see that, what must you think? Why can't that money be deployed for hurricane relief if it can be deployed for relief for people in Lebanon? And why are you spending it on Lebanon?

Doocy also noted that Joe Biden was posting about how the Small Business Administration disaster loan program was going to be running out of money too, "if Congress doesn't come back."

To most people, Doocy explained, "A taxpayer dollar is a taxpayer dollar is a taxpayer dollar."

"That is not misinformation," he declared. "That is a FACT." //

What is asinine about the money to Lebanon, is the people who need "refugee" money are Hezbollah, their operatives and families who have been defeated by Israel.

So Israel finally gets rid of them and here we are paying for temporary housing for the terrorists. How nice of us.

Is Joe Biden - or whoever is pulling his strings (Jill) - trying to sabotage Kamala Harris' presidential campaign? Because if he were, it would be hard to see what he would be doing differently. //

One of two things is happening here: Either the Biden camp (and I think we all know who is really in charge in that group) is demonstrating a staggering display of incompetence in scheduling and they aren't even trying to speak to whoever is in charge of setting up Kamala Harris' string of feather-soft interviews, or the Biden camp is miffed at the way old Joe was shoved rudely aside (for which we can scarcely blame them) and is trying to deliberately sabotage the Harris run for the White House.

Or, we could embrace the power of "both."

“My prediction is, if there is another four years of a Democratic administration, they will legalize so many illegals that the next election, there will be no swing states,” he predicted, forecasting that will lead to “single-party rule.”

To back his stance, Musk cited the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which granted amnesty to millions of migrants in the country illegally.

“Thereafter, California turned very strongly Dem,” he said.

The Golden State voted for Republican presidential candidates in every election between 1968 and 1988 – and has backed none since. //

He said the people who claimed Trump was a "threat to democracy" are themselves a "threat to democracy" since one-party rule is not "democracy."

While Harris was playing politics and trying to garner headlines by going after DeSantis, just a few hours later, Biden responded by saying he spoke to DeSantis and everything was great. //

She laid the groundwork for a narrative that DeSantis rebuffed federal help and was putting politics above the safety of Floridians, and no sooner than she did, Biden showed up to say the opposite. He could have easily played along and he didn't.

Is that just another coincidence? I can't say for sure, but man, does it feel like he's taking little shots at Harris throughout the campaign. In the last month alone, Biden has contradicted the vice president multiple times regarding her attempt to separate herself from the administration.

If this is true...and I think it's likely...then Republican Governors all across the nation need to be prepared to deal with the violence quickly. One of Trump's failures in his first administration was the near-complete lack of action to confront and suppress any revolts that occur. This nation cannot survive another orgy of lootings, burnings, murders, and assaults that Trump tolerated during the George Floyd unrest.

During the 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco, the Army left their barracks with orders to shoot looters. I don't know if any looters were actually shot, but the threat alone facilitated cleanup, and restoration of services pretty quickly. If we have another wave of George Floyd-style revolts...and the Republicans sit on their hands as they did the first time...the political price to be paid will be unbelievable. That means you Gov Kemp and you too Gov Hogan. //

Maybe she really did think Biden was sharp as a tack. there doesn't seem to be much of a difference betweeen them.

For his part, Biden just keeps tearing down that narrative in no uncertain terms. On Friday, he showed up in the White House briefing room and again reiterated that Harris owns every part of the administration's policies and decision-making. For context, he did the same thing while appearing on "The View" in late September, claiming that he had delegated most tasks to the vice president. //

BIDEN: Well, she's, I'm in constant contact with her. She's aware, we're all, we're singing from the same song sheet. We, she helped pass all the laws that are being deployed now. She was a major player in everything we've done, including passage of legislation we were told we could never pass. And she's been, and, her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we're doing. //

If there's one thing we know about Biden, it's that he's a petty, vindictive man. //

Biden has had ample opportunity at this point to help elevate Harris in what is already a tough race. Instead, he's repeatedly countered her campaign's narrative and not taken basic actions that could improve the environment she's running in. It's getting hard to believe it's not purposeful. //

Any mention of the fact that the ILE strike ended about 3 hours after DeSantis did a presser that he was sending in the FL Nat'l Guard to secure and "restore operations" in Florida's many ports?
He folded the paper tiger faster than an origami contest.

According to Presler, he uncovered an attempt by the Pennsylvania Department of State to begin maintenance of their registration system during the Trump rally. As Presler stated in an interview with Human Events Daily, the registration site announced that the registration website will be "undergoing maintenance" during Trump's big return in order to deaden the hype around his appearance and hopefully cause fewer registration sign-ups.

As Presler noted, usually when maintenance is done, it's in the "wee hours of the morning," however, this particular maintenance was scheduled between 6 pm and 12 am. The Trump rally that day was going to begin at 5 pm.

"It was clear that the Pennsylvania Dept. of State was engaging in election interference, trying to stop all this national attention from translating into new voter registrations," Presler told Human Events. //

When you really stop to think about it, this kind of subtle manipulation could very well be happening all over the nation. Often, we see election interference and cheating as big things, but it's small, sometimes undetectable, things like this would have been in any other situation. The truth is that there are people out there who are doing everything they can in order to tilt the scales in Kamala Harris's favor, no matter how grand or small.

It's crazy that we have to be this observant, but this is the enemy Republicans are up against. They're a party whose unofficial motto is "by any means necessary."

Even if it means flooding swing states with illegals, this is what they'll do. //
