The Decline of the American Military; the Legacy of Joe Biden and Covid-19

Unfortunately, this is not a laughing matter….

When I served in the military, from 1988 to 1992, we had two major conflicts, Just Cause and the Persian Gulf War.  On both occasions we were victorious and successful accomplishing the mission at hand.

Move forward to the George W. Bush administration and the so called “War on Terror”.  Our military has been bogged down in Afghanistan for 21 years with little to show for.  Of course, unless you consider protecting drug lords, warlords, and Opium fields a worthy endeavor. 

In 2008 Barack Obama became President and the military became a political tool for social engineering.  During the 8 years of the Obama administration the United States military was weaken, embarrassed, poorly trained, and ill equipped.   They cared more about gays in the military and transgenderism while completely neglecting our military readiness.

The world laughed while our sailors were taken hostage by the Iranian Navy and the United States did nothing to stop it.  It was a very dark time in the history for the strongest military force in the world.

Thankfully, in 2016, President Donald J. Trump got elected to office and he restored our military to a place of leadership.  We were, once again, respected and feared by our adversaries.  Our military got the resources they needed to deal with the global threats, and despite the fact we had some weak leaders, our military was strong and well equipped.

I guess all good things come to an end.  In 2020, Joe Biden got elected to office and with him the end of our military might.

Since Biden got into office the military has, once again, become a social experiment.  From taxpayer funded transition surgery and therapy for transgenders to Critical Race Theory garbage.  Meanwhile, Russia and China continue to operate right under our noses while devaluing our currency and hacking our infrastructure.

Our military has not only become a social experiment under Biden but is fixing to become a laboratory experiment.   Secretary Austin issued a memorandum to all DOD employees, including uniform personnel, ordering mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations by September 15th or face penalties.   For an “all-volunteer” fighting force, this comes right out of the Little Red Book or the Communist Manifesto.

Before I got deployed to the Persian Gulf, I was injected with many things, and I didn’t know what they were.  But I wasn’t told to get them, nor ordered.  I could have declined, and nothing would have happened.  Today, our members in the military have been ordered to put their own lives on the line or else.

This is no different than telling someone they have two choices, either jump off the cliff or take a bullet to the head. 

At this very moment, members of the military are consulting with lawyers and rightly so.  Nobody should be ordered to put anything in their bodies without their consent.  What happened to the liberal mantra “My Body, my Choice”?

This action by the President and the Secretary of Defense only weakens our readiness.  Sure, a unit may be out for a couple of weeks if infected, but that’s pretty much the extent of it.  On the other hand, a soldier can die from these untested vaccines and the families have zero recourse.  Thanks to the Trump administration these pharmaceuticals are immune from prosecution and lawsuits.

I think under these new set of circumstances, I believe members of the military should apply for exemptions, either medical or administrative.   Flood the system with bureaucracy and they may rethink their approach.

With all this turmoil and social experimentation in our military, frankly, I am surprised Canada hasn’t invaded us yet.

The Politicization of Police Officer’s Suicides

One is one too many!

After spending 25 years in Federal Law Enforcement, I had my share of black bands around my badge honoring my fellow fallen officers.  Some of them died in the line of duty, medical conditions, and suicide.

To read the Democrats, and the mainstream media, blame President Trump for the suicide rate increase among law enforcement because of the events of January 6th, is completely preposterous.

Furthermore, it is an insult to the memories of those officers and their families.

I place the blame on the radical politicians, BLM, Antifa, and the Defund the Police movement.  When these people go around calling police officers, pigs, racists, and Nazi’s, nothing good can come out of it. 

When radical members of Congress are advocating for defunding police departments, and local governments wanting to get rid of law enforcement all together, no wonder police officers are having a hard time doing their jobs or even staying on the job.

I have never met a law enforcement officer who didn’t love their job.  You have too, otherwise you couldn’t do it.  Enforcing the laws enacted by bureaucrats is not an easy task. 

Mainly because those same politicians will not back them up, and most of the time criticize the police officers they have entrusted to enforce such laws.  It is a thankless job, but one I found very honorable and rewarding.

It has been reported three Metropolitan Police Officers and one MPD Officer have committed suicide since the events of January 6th at the Capitol. The mainstream media has gone full blown crazy blaming President Trump for those deaths. 

We will never know why those officers committed suicide, but I could come up with my own questions and scenarios.  Were these officers approached by congressional staffers and asked to provide false testimony in front of Congress?  Did they feel guilty for their own actions or inactions during the events at the Capitol?  I guess we will never know.

The four officers, Officer Kyle De Freytag, Gunther Hashida, Howard Liebengood, and MPD Officer Jeffrey Smith, were season veterans of the police force.  These were not rookie officers, and the events of January 6th would have been garden variety, and far from a reason to kill themselves over it. Nevertheless, they will be missed.

It is hard for me to believe, given all the resources afforded to law enforcement officers to cope and deal with traumatic events, these officers, one day, out of the blue, decided to kill themselves.  Again, we will never know.

Given the so-called gravity of the events; did the department conduct proper debriefings in the aftermath of the event?  How much did the supervisors know about the officer’s state of mind after the incident? Were they afforded any help?

I questioned the way these officers were dealt with, if in fact they committed suicide because of their involvement in the events of January 6th.   Lots of questions with little answers.

I understand, blaming President Trump is the lowest hanging fruit available for the Democrats and the mainstream media, but they should be ashamed of themselves.

The truth is movements like BLM, Antifa, Defund the Police, and our own radical members of Congress, are to blame for the stress in which police officers have been operating. 

Police officers are spat on, called names, assaulted, and belittled for doing their jobs.  They are the ones trying to protect property from looting by the likes of these subversive groups.  They should be praised and respected, not treated like garbage.

Law enforcement suicides are a serious issue, and it needs to be acknowledged.  Politicians, should not be using the deaths of these police officers to score points, after all, you could say their deaths are on their hands.

A Day on the Town…..

Perhaps!!!!! Photo by H.R. Fernandez

I was driving around my town and came across this vehicle with a very peculiar message in its rear window.

There is not much to add to that message other than after watching Joe Biden destroy our economy, values, and future in a month’s period, I can understand how this fellow feels.

Unfortunately, our great country has been put on a very sad moral, social, and political path.

ACQUITTED! For the Second Time

President Donald J. Trump

Once again, despite the efforts of the Democrats, and a handful of Republicans, the Constitution has prevailed once more and has withstood another test of times.

For a second time, and the country’s first, President Donald J. Trump has been found not guilty and acquitted by the Senate.  On a mostly partisan vote, with the addition of the usual Republican suspects, the Senate failed to get the 67 votes needed for a conviction.

This was nothing more than a “Dog and Pony” show that most Americans did not even watch.  The Democrats are so afraid of President Trump, they were willing to destroy our Constitutional way of government by conducting, an illegal and unconstitutional, impeachment trial under false pretenses and bogus fabricated evidence.

More embarrassing is the fact seven Republican Senators sided with the Democrats in supporting this attack on our Constitutional Republic.  This should cause pause to conservatives everywhere.

This is evidence we no longer have a Republican Party.  We no longer have a party who cares for the Constitution or the wellbeing of the American people.  If we did, they would have walked away from this unconstitutional action.  Unfortunately, the Republican leadership is weak, in both, the House and the Senate.

These politicians do not care about our country, but their own political careers.  I hope they pay the price at the ballot box, and for Americans to finally wake up and face the reality that we do not have a true representative form of government.

Now that Democrats have failed to convict President Trump, Senator Schumer is attempting to undermine the Constitution by attempting to use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to prevent a possible Presidential run by President Trump in 2024.

Section 3 reads as follow:  “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

This is a ridiculous approach and an even more so illegal use of the Constitution.  President Trump has been acquitted of all charges related to this so-called insurrection, therefore they failed to prove the President engaged in any acts of insurrection, rebellion against our country, or given aid or comfort to the enemy, period.

One fact does remain, we have the right to elect to office the candidate of our choice, the Constitution guarantees it regardless of party affiliation.  We choose our candidates, not the Congress or the government.

Americans saddle up because the Democrats are going to keep driving this crazy wild horse for as long as they can to distract the citizenry from the real mess, the one they are making of this great country of ours.

In the meantime, let us celebrate the fact the Constitution won, and justice was served. 

Remember, if they can do this to a former President of the United States; what they could do to you?

The Super “Woke” Bowl LV and Jeep

We have never been “Ununited” Image courtesy of prosportsextra.com

I have not watched regular season football for about 4 years.  I watch the Super Bowl because normally the commercials are funny and it give us an excuse to make phenomenal finger food.

This year, the commercials were not funny, but very dark in nature, except for Doritos 3D Chips commercial with Matthew McConaughey and a couple of others.

You would have thought that after the tough year the country had in 2020, advertising agencies would have been trying to uplift the country with funny commercials.

Instead they went with the phony message of “doom and gloom” and “unity” while they remained silent for four years as the country was burnt to the ground by Antifa and other domestic leftist groups.

That takes me to the most ridiculous, and woke, commercial; the Jeep commercial with known communist Bruce Springsteen as their spokesperson. 

Are you serious?  I would have expected a commercial like that from a company like Subaru, which caters to the more socially sensitive crowd, not Jeep who claims to be tough as nails and an “All American” company.

Their main point, “The Reunited States of America”, was a complete joke.  There is nothing “ununited” about the United States.  Only people who wish to make the United States into some utopian society where everything is given, nothing earned, and where everybody is to be a victim instead of a fighter.

I always associated the Jeep brand with American toughness and American pride, but they chose a known American hating communist to be their spokesperson. 

Bruce Springsteen is a pathetic old man, his music is barely recognized by the younger generation, and it is for all intent and purposes, irrelevant.

The least they could have done is hired a talent with true American values, not some “has been” who does not represent America.  Just because he sings it, it does not mean he believes in it. 

Springsteen is an opportunistic leftist who missed the bus two decades ago.  Even people on Facebook were asking who he was.

So, in this, the 55th edition of the Super “Woke” Bowl, the score is as follow:  Doritos- 45 and Jeep?  A big “Woke” Zero!

Jeep, not in this American household.
