This is so funny, I mean these big boy CEOs were all asked the question by Senator Tim Scott’s (R-SC) what part of the GA voters law did they believe was discriminatory. One tried very timidly to answer, but didn’t answer the question. When Senator Scott once again explained his question in more detail wait till you hear their replies.
These are big boys folks who decide what companies they will support and make loans to., which as you might suspect include gun manufacturers, etc.
In case you can’t catch who they are ,here’s the list, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup. Doing business with any of these wokes who want to delve into politics along with Coke and Harry’s? My investment companies are not listed, which is good, for if Schwab and USAA were among them I’d drop them like a hot democrat
Anyway, watch this exchange, it is really an eye opener.
Not much from the swamp lately, so Let me post an update on my favorite general.
I am amazed at the number of hits My Open Letter to Mr. Mattis posted on 4 June 2020 has received. Not a day goes by that I don’t get at least one hit on that post almost a year later. To date there have been 224,545 hits on that post. Wow. Where is he, what’s he doing now? Probably hiding under a rock somewhere, but I’m sure he is still getting honorariums for speaking engagements from the leftists. Oh well, at least I don’t see any thing on the media from him. I am surprised that Joe didn’t hire him for some important post in his administration like Director of Constitutional Literacy.
Friends, fellow Americans, I personally believe this is the most important posts I have ever posted in the nearly six years I have been running this blog.
it is A MUST READ!!! Furthermore, it NEEDS to be shared with every friend and relative in your entire address book PLEASE!
William caught me off guard on this one. Defund the police? Of course, the “National Security Force” will handle all the problems. WOW! Ifr this read does not give you the shivers, you’re dead.
Their Agenda, Our Future
Control has been a step in the agenda of the “Progressive” movement since Obama first uttered the words of their desire to “Fundamentally Transform” this nation. Way too many people had no idea what he meant when he spewed those words of treason. Now at this time, who can deny the “Transformation” promised is not well underway. Who will deny their “Collapse” and “Control” is not becoming a reality?
Civilian National Security Force (AKA – Homeland Security Police / Federal Protective Service)
Keep an eye on this one. – A warning came in an editorial sent June 2nd, 2013 when Obama stated, ” We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the U.S. military.” In another statement, Obama said, “We have a great opportunity to really transform how we think about community law enforcement relations.” Now, knowing Biden is nothing more than an Obama puppet, one more quote from Obama. “You can judge me by those I surround myself with.” The same applies to Biden which has in his regime, many “leftovers” from Obama to carry out their agenda.
As previously mentioned in a recent editorial, the “Rights”— “Endowed by our Creator” and the Constitution of this nation have been substituted with the “Privileges” they have allotted us. How can the citizens of a nation,- rights guaranteed,- be so willing to give them up? In the march to complete their agenda of “Control,” they will lead the politically and morally blind down the path of destruction. Many have asked the question, “What happened?” — Stupid happened. Uninvolved happened. Uninformed happened. I don’t talk religion or politics happened. Fear happened. The attitude of it can’t happen in this country happened. And on we go.
Over the past twelve years, attempts have been made by me to reveal the agenda of the “Progressive” mindset and expose them to be the haters of this nation they once concealed. Now, they openly express that hatred. There has been a desperate and truthful attempt to expose the “enemies of state” I believed them to be. Their concealed motives and quest for power was not openly presented by them,,, until now!
During these past years, editorials sent has reached many. I’m thankful for those that have taken heed and have forwarded. There were thousands of editorials sent and hours of research presented. There is now a loss for words. I find myself at a point where I can say no more than has already been said. The “Progressive” movement has now become bold and blatant enough to tell you themselves. It has been said that over the years “I’ve been ‘Preaching’ to the choir.” The problem now is, the choir has stopped singing.
In every situation there is a final chapter. This one is mine. I have run the race. I have fought a good fight. It’s just now time.
I’m hoping someone younger will take up the baton being passed.
Final Thought
What the “pretenders of good deeds” do in the future will be with even more boldness and arrogance. All has been covered and revealed by me in the past. Difference being is what they and the news media will call it. Regardless, – the deceit, deception and corruption will continue. Invasion by “Illegals” from over a hundred countries will be supported or ignored.
The attempt to “Fundamentally Transform” will continue. Their conniving desire to “Collapse the System” will be their driving force. Their unscrupulous agenda is to make the citizens of this nation dependent upon their government, according to their plan. “Control” will then be in their hands. Socialism / Communism is now obtainable — if allowed.
When things get so bad we just can’t imagine a situation. When the tears of emotion, because of a great loss, can no longer be held back. When we feel the death of something so many have sacrificed to protect appears inevitable. When we see the clouds of the “perfect storm” developing, and and it appears there is nothing can be done to stop it. Is it then we discover we’ve slept too long? Is it then we submit to the “Transformers”? Is it then we relinquish our freedoms to those that will take them from us? Is it then, indeed? We watch… We look into the clouds of the storm that will devastate the remains of a nation once blessed like no other and see the promise of the “Founding Fathers” being replaced by the evil ambitions of the deceitful and corrupt. UNLESS,,, “WE the people” wake up.
Please view the attached video and realize what some have given while others remain silent. Remember those that have given their lives for this country. Give nine minutes of your time to watch as we approach Memorial Day.
AND,,, may the heroes of the past that have served and died for the freedoms of this nation be not in vain. Turn up your sound / full screen, and click on Mansion. – It is Powerful! You can never see this too many times. Memorial Day is coming soon and is not just about having cookouts. (If allowed)
I have read only one Vietnam War book in my lifetime. It was Fields of Fire by James Webb. While I did enjoy the book, the author is a POS as far as I am concerned; therefore, I am not touting his book.
Since I participated in the original “play,” I have chosen not to read someone else’s version of how he experienced the war, much of which is, in my view, a “war story” that gets better each time it’s told.; including mine LOL.
Having said that I am making an exception. Why you ask? It’s simple, I know the author very well. If you read my book, We’ll All Die as Marines, he is mentioned in it. I’ll not; however, tell you what chapter. Yeah, I know that’s mean. All I shall divulge is I was a fresh caught brown bar. That should surely take you right to the place if you still have the book. If not write me and I will sell you one. LOL.
Anyway, I digress. The book of which I speak was just released a few weeks ago. Its title is, Kilo 3. For Marines that should tell you it was Kilo Company of the 3rd battalion, of some regiment. Well, it’s the Striking Ninth, none other than the 9th Marine Regiment of the Third Marine Division, traditionally written a K 3/9.
I’ll not share any of the book with you as that would be cheating the author. I will; however, say this book makes Webb’s read seem like a child’s fairy tale. For those who have not experienced combat from an infantryman’s perspective, you will be enlightened beyond belief. As I read I could smell the cordite, feel the anger, hear the different types of explosions as he describes them perfectly, experience the sweat and intense heat, and remember the danger and fear.
However, this read is more than about the Vietnam War. It’s about leaving the blood, sweat, and horror of that horrible war and stepping into the glamour, perfectionism, and discipline of the Corp’s most famous and fabled duty station — Marine Barracks, 8th & I Streets SE, Washington, D.C. Many did exactly that during the 1968-69 timeframe, I was one of them, so I know what these Marines went through. Many did not make the cut. This read is about one who almost didn’t, but because OZ didn’t give him anything he didn’t already have, he not only made it, he made it big time!
That’s all I will tell you, except to repeat myself, I am certain you will thoroughly enjoy it. I stared reading it around noon on Saturday and finished it Sunday evening, and I am a slow reader. I could not put it down! I then called the author and congratulated him and thanked him profusely for sending me a signed copy..
I have given up posting stuff about the head swamp creature. Mainly because nothing he does surprises me any more and I firmly believe that while the slime coming from his mouth may be his voice, it’s not his words. He’s simply following the orders of the other swamp creatures. So, As one of my favorite commenters stated he simply can’t rant anymore on what “HE” says or does. I agree. Biden is not my president or anyone’s president for that matter. It’s President Joe “Sanders et al.” So, I shall disregard what those fools do and post on other issues such as this one. That is, of course, until he does something really earth shattering other than just stupid, which is an everyday occurrence.
Anyway, here is a article from the Tennessee Star on an organization we all are very familiar with — our military.
Commentary: The U.S. Military Is Just Another Woke Institution
Tucker Carlson spurred a much-needed reexamination of the military in March. His monologue criticizing the military’s political correctness drew a more furious response from top brass than any foreign threat is likely to do. The generals’ response only affirmed Tucker’s points about the degraded state of our armed forces. Why do generals—both current and retired—feel the need to condemn civilians who question the wisdom of putting women in combat?
The answer is that the military, along with the entire national security establishment, is at one with the Democrat-Media complex. The image we have of generals and senior officers as defenders of tradition is wildly out of step with reality.
This fact is underscored by its contrast with a letter issued in France last week. The letter—signed by 20 retired generals, 80 officers, and 1,000 lower-ranking soldiers—was stridently right-wing. “The hour is late, France is in peril, threatened by several mortal dangers,” the letter states. Though retired, we remain soldiers of France, and cannot, under the present circumstances, remain indifferent to the fate of our beautiful country.”
The dangers, according to the letter, are Islamism, multiculturalism, liberal state tyranny, and anti-white and anti-French cultural currents. “Today, some speak of racialism, of indigenism, and of anti-colonial theories, but with these words, those hateful and fanatical partisans seek to foment a racial war,” the letter declares. “They despise our country, her traditions, her culture, and want to watch her dissolve by tearing her away from her past and her history. Thus, by attacking statues and analyzing words from several centuries ago, their true goal is to undermine our ancient civil and military glories.”
The letter argues that if the politicians do nothing, the military “will be forced to step in and undertake the perilous mission of protecting our civilizational values and the lives of our fellow citizens.” The letter also clearly defines France as a particular nation, a homeland with its own unique traditions and heritage. It’s not merely an idea.
The contrast between the sentiments in this letter and those of our own military leadership is like night and day. Our generals support all the things the retired French commanders denounce. Our military happily resumed critical race theory training as soon as Donald Trump left office. Senior commanders essentially endorsed Black Lives Matter and its “mostly peaceful” demonstrations last year. They view too many white Americans in the service as the problem and embrace multiculturalism. The military endorses the abolition of American heritage if it offends modern sensibilities. The Defense Department vows to root out all “right-wing extremists” from its ranks. The same Pentagon that sent soldiers to D.C. to guard against imaginary threats to Joe Biden’s inauguration refused to use soldiers to curb BLM riots in 2020. Our military refuses to step in and protect any civilizational values.
Our retired generals also like to issue letters about political issues—but they sound more like Barack Obama than staunch conservatives. Retired Marine General James Mattis, one of the most recognizable faces of the American military, published a letter last summer endorsing Black Lives Matter and condemning Trump, the president who made him Secretary of Defense. He said the military should not be used to stop riots, which he claimed were nearly all peaceful. He also said that Black Lives Matter and Antifa merely call on Americans to “live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation.”
After the election, Mattis wrote an op-ed urging Biden to eliminate “America First” policies. The retired general said America should instead return to globalist policies. Evidently, Mattis is not someone who considers America his homeland with its own unique traditions and character. It’s merely an “idea,” best upheld by far-Left agitators and the generals who agree with them.
Mattis wasn’t alone in publicly expressing such sentiments. Eighty-nine former defense officials signed a joint condemnation of Trump’s attempted crackdown of rioters last summer. The letter accepted BLM’s assertion that our justice system oppresses blacks.
Fifty-six retired senior officers attacked Trump for barring transgender personnel from serving in the military. “Patriotic transgender Americans who are serving—and who want to serve—must not be dismissed, deprived of medically necessary health care, or forced to compromise their integrity or hide their identity,” the 2017 letter stated.
Granted, not all current or former generals are like this. There are those like retired Lt. General Michael Flynn and others who stand with middle America against the swamp. But the military, as an institution, is reflected in these letters. You will never see 20 retired generals issue a strong statement denouncing mass immigration, critical race theory, or the state persecution of Trump supporters. Neither are you likely to see a call from those quarters for the military to protect America from domestic threats—unless those threats happen to be white and conservative.
We can see further evidence of our military’s decline in two viral media posts from last week.
The U.S. Navy apparently made history last week when the first all-gay flight crew flew its first mission. The crew wore rainbow bandanas and proudly displayed the gay pride flag.
The pictures presented a bizarre image of the military to the world.
Additionally, the CIA recently released an odd ad that may portend to future military recruitment. The ad, titled “Humans of CIA” in a nod to the popular Humans of New York blog, shows a very different CIA from its popular image.
The agent in the ad declares:
“I am a woman of color.”
“I am a cisgender millennial.”
“I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.”
“I am intersectional.”
The agent also sports a t-shirt with a raised fist. As a member of one of the most powerful institutions in the world, it’s unclear what she is raising her fist against. She is the power, not the resistance.
This is the CIA, of course. But you could see the Pentagon producing very similar ads.
Many conservatives still think of the military as an institution dramatically different from and immune to the harmful trends infecting the rest of the government. To them, the military evokes “honor” and “country,” and you can trust the troops to resist liberal tyranny. Reality paints a very different picture. While many of the troops, including senior officers, are great Americans who serve our country with honor, the institution itself no longer serves the American people as conservatives imagine. It serves the American empire controlled by liberal elites.
We can’t hope for the troops to ride in to save the day like the French military. The American military is just another corrupt institution that requires serious reform.

Check out the link below for a letter signed by 120 retired generals and admirals warning the admiration’s policies are a serious threat to national security. As a Marine, I am glad to see some names who I know, worked for, and respected. But sadly there are some I had much respect for who are missing. Shame on them; they know who they are! And then there are those I had little respect for and they are on the list e.g., Krulak, Mattis, Kelly, Allen, Hagee, Jones, and more. The letter is a good read and look and see if your heroes or villain’s are on the list.
