It is obvious to anyone living in the real world that the United States military is rapidly becoming a woke joke thanks to the buffoon currently inhabiting the White House. Rather than focusing on readiness, training, and technologically improved weapon systems the US military now focuses on transgenderism, critical race theory, and Marxism.
Joe Biden and his handlers have populated the Pentagon with generals who are not fit to command a troop of circus clowns rather than the best trained, most professional, and most technologically advanced military that ever existed.
The philosophy now imposed on the US military is un-American and anti-America in the extreme. The Biden regime has attempted to use the Capitol Hill riots as an excuse to purge the military of conservatives and those on the political right. This is creating a dangerous situation where the US military could be more loyal to a political party rather than to the United States as a whole.
New technologies are not being explored. New weapon systems are not being developed. For many decades the United States military enjoyed a large technological advantage over the rest of the world. Right now that is in grave danger. China may soon over take us.
The disastrous events in Afghanistan last week are the direct result of seven months of bungling by the Biden regime.
Sadly this is not the first time the US military has experienced a rapid and total collapse. It has happened twice before in the last fifty years. Both times before there was a Marxist Democrat in the White House. Things were so bad under Jimmy Carter that if the Soviets had decided to over run Europe they probably would have succeeded. Things were almost as bad under Obama
With more than three years until the next election I am desperately worried that the United States military will be a world class joke before there is any hope of repairing the damage done by the senile clown inhabiting the White House. Replacing Biden with Harris would not do any good at all.
All of the spineless Republicans who failed to stand up and prevent and overturn the theft of the 2020 presidential election are responsible for this nightmare.
SHREVEPORT – So many conflicting emotions and stories on my news feed this morning. It’s enough to make one just pull the plug, put the house up for sale, and move out to the most rural, off the grid place you can find.
On the one hand, JOY! It’s the first day of school! Precious back-to-school pictures fill my social media feed of little children with big backpacks and happy smiles.
On the other hand, I also see one post after another of cancelled festivals and events due to the Covid surge. New Orleans has cancelled JazzFest, again. Everyone worries about Mardi Gras – will it happen or not? Many other small, local festivals are announcing cancellations: the KBON Music Festival, the Delcambre Shrimp Festival, and Festival Acadiens et Créoles was rescheduled to the spring. The Natchitoches Meat Pie Festival and the Scott Boudin Festival also cancelled. The list continues to grow.
But school is fine, apparently, as is packed arenas for music concerts, and sports events.
It doesn’t add up.
In addition to all of this, on a more local level, we had at least three homicides in Shreveport yesterday several more shootings on top of that, one high-speed chase, and one elderly woman was stabbed sixteen times in the face and neck.
We may have topped 60 homicides for the year here yesterday, and we still have four more months to go. It isn’t getting any better, we had no leadership, and nobody willing to do anything to stop this violence. Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins has posted nothing but Covid vaccination and information on his social media feed for as far back as I can stand to scroll; not a word about the daily shootings and killings.
Silence.
It all just makes you think. You know, last week we were in a small community and nobody got shot, stabbed, or tried to kill a policeman. We could take an evening walk through town, leave our front doors unlocked, and not worry about getting robbed or mugged. People in these smaller communities know each other, they go to church together, the family unit is tight. That’s not to say they don’t have their problems, they do. Many rural communities across our country have terrible drug problems, young people bored with nothing to do, and their own unique issues.
There is no Utopia.
But after yesterday’s bloodbath here, it does make one long for a quieter community.
I don’t know what the answers are, and I know that Shreveport is far from unique in its crime problems. All I know for sure is that an answer must be found. We spend a lot of time throwing blame and not enough time working for solutions, it seems. And maybe that’s all I’m doing here; I just know I no longer wish to live in this city where human life apparently has absolutely no value and our leaders are silent about it.
The United States’ worst week in my lifetime was the prior one. 9/11 was a horrific tragedy but after that attack Americans were united in a way, albeit briefly, that it probably hasn’t been since World War II and sadly, we probably won’t see such unity again.
While our leaving South Vietnam in 1975 after years of fighting there was a major blow to our psyche–the South Vietnamese military still hung on for over two years after America’s combat role ended.
Afghanistan fell to our enemy, the Taliban, last week, nearly a month before President Joe Biden’s withdrawal date, September 11–which was later changed to August 31. Americans, friendly Afghans, and our allies who want to leave Afghanistan are unable get to the Kabul Airport. And people at the airport are being killed by the Taliban.
The Soviet puppet state in Afghanistan managed to maintain power for three years after the USSR returned home.
The situation in Afghanistan is so awful that the mainstream media, CNN and the New York Times for instance, have slowly turned again Biden. They’re not as hostile as they were with Donald J. Trump. but it’s a start. I suspect they are holding Biden accountable only to protect what remaining credibility they have with the ten-percent of Americans who whole-heartedly believe their spin and lies.
When Biden began his third presidential run two years ago something was very evident. Let’s just say the spin was off of his fastball, that it appeared that “Good ole Joe” wasn’t “all there” anymore, even as he squinted at his teleprompter reading remarks written by someone else.
I’ll be returning to baseball a bit later.
Last week Biden, or more likely the president’s protectors among his family and this staff, chose the most sympathetic interviewer they know, former Bill Clinton senior staffer–and donor to the tainted Clinton Foundation–ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, to give the president the opportunity to explain why the Afghanistan defeat is not a debacle.
Notice that I didn’t call Stephanopoulos a journalist.
Even Biden’s dwindling number of apologists admit the ABC interview went poorly for him..
But the worst part of the ABC interview ended up on the cutting room floor, as Tucker Carlson pointed out on his show. When Stephanopolous questioned the chaotic nature of our withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden replied.
Look, that’s like askin’ my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major– I mean, as an Army major. And, you know, I’m sure h– he had regrets comin’ out of Afganista– I mean, out of Iraq.
The Biden interview transcript with @GStephanopoulos is even worse than you imagined.
Amazing. Biden can’t immediately keep straight where his son served and with which branch. Beau Biden never served in Kosovo or Afghanistan. And Beau was in the Army. Not the Navy. Had Trump expressed such confusion some Democratic blowhard, probably Sen. Chuck Schumer, would be calling for the president to take a mental acuity test and suggest enacting the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.
What else is on the cutting room floor of other Biden interviews, both as a candidate running from inside his “basement bunker” or as president? As a resident of the White House there isn’t much Biden material to work with. Since being sworn in as president Biden conducted only nine sit-down interviews. At the same point in their presidencies Barack Obama had done 113 and Trump 50. Someone is afraid of the media, a media that until this month was quite friendly to Biden.
By my count, Pres Biden today sat for his 9th news interview, his 2nd with @GStephanopoulos.
Compares with predecessors at same point in presidency:
In the sad later years of Connie Mack’s unprecedented 50-year tenure as manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, he often couldn’t remember the names of his current players but he’d call for substitutions with players who hadn’t played for the A’s in decades. Imagine Chicago White Sox manager Tony LaRussa, who used to manage the Athletics, calling for pinch hitting Jose Abreu with Mark McGwire.
Are there moments like that with Biden? Does the media know? Do they have videotape of it? Stephanopolous of course has the recording of Biden confusing his son’s miltary service. What about prior Stephanopolous interviews of Biden? Those should be made public in their entirety immediately by ABC News.
Mack owned the Athletics so firing him was problematic–but he was eventually forced out by his sons in 1950 when he was 87.
If we have not just a confused but also a senile man as president then removing him from office is the duty of Congress. And the rest of media, if they have evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline, then they need to cough it up now.
And that goes for Biden’s staff as well. When Mack made his non-sensical calls as manager of the Athletics, his coaches would calmly overrule “the Grand Old Man of Baseball.” Is Biden’s staff stepping in and overruling their old man?
Who is in charge? Or as Chris Wallace this morning asked of Biden’s secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, “Does the president not know what’s going on?” Note how Blinken doesn’t answer Wallace’s question in this clip.
Mack ran the Athletics into the ground after many great years at the helm, leading his team to nine American League pennants. Biden never had any great years. Mack’s A’s were just a baseball team. America of course is so much more–not just here at home but to the rest of the world.
Afghanistan is not the only failure of the Biden presidency. There is the border crisis and his inconsistent policy on COVID-19. Are these flops the work of a man who is mentally adrift?
And has Biden’s open borders policy with Mexico made the COVID resurgence worse? Failure seems to be piling upon failure–and we are just seven months into Biden’s term.
Very few of us Conservatives and Libertarians ever attempted to fight the political left in the area of cultural issues. We abounded Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment industry to progressives and other Marxists.
Now the vast majority of movies and television programs are a cesspool of leftist propaganda. Hardly any at all present America or its founding principles in a positive light.
America bashing is one of the most prevalent themes encountered today. Conformity, the liberal orthodoxy, and doing whatever those in authority demand have been hammered into the heads of all that partake in any form of entertainment. America’s sins of slavery and racism are constant themes, They are portrayed as being the absolute foundation and soul of this nation, which are very much far from the truth. All of the tremendous good that America has done and stands for is ignored.
Young children who watch cartoons, Disney movies, and Nickelodeon are subjected to gay and transgender brainwashing. I believe this is something that should be left out of children’s programming. Most parents are probably unaware that this going on.
The liberal brainwashing on college campuses has gone unchecked by those of us on the political right for decades. It has now spread through high schools and grade schools. A recent poll declared that more than half of all young people have been brainwashed into viewing socialism as positive and capitalism negative. No wonder so many young people voted for Biden and no wonder so many blindly follow all of the liberty destroying mandates and lockdowns. If American founding principles and civics were still taught these mandates and lockdown would have ended soon after they were attempted.
Conservatives and others on the right allowed leftists to gain almost complete control of the news industry and social media. Without the suppression of the truth about the theft of the 2020 presidential election Donald Trump would still be in office. Without the suppression of real scientific facts about the effectiveness of masks and lockdown those liberty destroying ineffective mandates would not have remained in effect for more than a week or two.
We need to take up the culture war on all fronts immediately and fight to win.
