There has never been any equivalence between Soviet strategic intentions and behavior and the United States in Afghanistan. Anyone who says otherwise is a damned liar!

This morning on the FOXBusiness morning show that is usually hosted by Maria Bartiromo, a young Navy SEAL named Erik (I don’t remember his last name) drew an equivalence between strategic operations of former Soviet Union and U.S. forces in Afghanistan. He alleged that if our forces remain in Afghanistan for four or more years that we would be adopting the Soviet strategy in Afghanistan.

I don’t know what may be this SEAL’s motivation for making such an outrageously damning statement, but because he comes out of Special Operations Command and is acting as an expert on an international news platform, I cannot but believe that he is not ignorant of the great political and operational distinctions between Soviet and U.S. military behavior. I am grieved that this young man would knowingly tell such a horrible lie against our nation and our objectives in Afghanistan!

Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, and the unrestrained horrors that the Soviets perpetrated against the Afghan people, was one of conquest and occupation to expand Soviet control over the region in their march toward warm water ports through Pakistan to the Arabian Sea.

The United States has had no strategic objectives in Afghanistan not related directly and exclusively to our own national security interest in the overthrow of terrorist groups based in Afghanistan on invitation from the former ruling terrorist government of Afghanistan. Indeed, the infrastructure mission that I, myself, was involved with was part of a global non-kinetic “International Security Assistance Force” that sought to aid the Afghan people; not to overturn local legitimate Afghan government.

With respect to the distinctive difference between Soviet behavior in Afghanistan and U.S. behavior in Afghanistan I will relate my personal experience in Afghanistan. Without exception, everywhere in the country that I interacted with Afghan citizens, when they learned that when I was a young soldier who fought the Soviet backed Communists in Vietnam, they embraced me as a special personal ally. Most Americans cannot understand this, but to honor me and my efforts against the Communists in Vietnam, the Afghans would call me “Mujahideen” (a “jihadist” fighting a common enemy). The message here is that the Afghan people embraced me and what we were doing as a common ally in their struggle to rebuild Afghanistan; but no Afghan remembers the Soviets as anything other than a brutal enemy of Afghanistan and her people.

Let me close by making this clear statement without equivocation. If anyone dares to draw any equivalence between the Soviet Union’s actions in Afghanistan with the actions of the United States they are at best grossly ignorant of history and too quick to engage their voices to spread manure against our nation, or, they are part of the patriot hating lying media, Left, RINOs, and/or “Never-Trumpers”.

Further, many may disagree with me, but remaining engaged on the ground in Afghanistan is, and will continue to be essential to our national security. We don’t have to like it, but leaving Afghanistan will result in grave physical harm around the globe!

Be certain to remain where you know you must stand.

Some voices are speaking out against the good and peaceful men and women standing and speaking up for their ideals in Charlottesville. We should be careful not to side with such accusations against our neighbors exercising their Constitutional rights. There were many good and faithful people at Charlottesville peacefully standing to say the statues should remain. Don’t lump them in with those who started the violence. We cannot run from our own principles because others we disagree with show up, lest we always be found running away from where we must stand.

my take on the CEOs walking away from President Trump. Good riddance to more vermin!

This past week the CEOs that had been enlisted to serve on the President’s Manufacturing Council and Strategy & Policy Forum advisory boards decided to abandon President Trump out of faux anger over his response to the outrageous violence perpetrated by the Left in Charlottesville, Virginia. Indeed, the President’s response was perfectly appropriate. The response of the CEO’s was purely political and aimed at undermining the “outsider” president hated by the Left and the Establishment (including so-called Republicans), but who is loved and supported by the Americans who elected him to office November 8, 2016.

What have these CEO’s really done?

First, they have engaged in telling huge whopping lies to impugn the character of the President!

Second, they have betrayed their stockholders. If it is in the interest of stockholders that you serve as a CEO, it is an unusually good and proper place for your stockholders that you remain in a position where you can continue to provide insight and advice on economic issues to the president of the nation. By leaving they have done their stockholders a terrible disservice and betrayed the stockholder’s interests entirely for purely political reasons. They should be dismissed promptly by their stockholders!

Third, by their actions they have undermined confidence in an otherwise strengthening market. Are we to think that their political contempt for President Trump should outweigh the market interests of the American People? I, for one, do not!

Lastly, they have joined together against you and me! Their contempt is against every one of us who chose to make free-market businessman and patriot Donald Trump to be our president instead of Marxist Socialist Alinsky disciple and crook Hillary Clinton!

I don’t know if their stockholders will fire them, but in my economic and spending decisions I have already begun to fire the companies that they represent. I have unsubscribed every “Under Armour” subscription and will henceforward NOT purchase any product associated with “Under Armour”. Where possible, I will likewise not purchase any other product produced by any of the companies led by any of these CEOs. We are in a war for the future of our children and grandchildren. When they fight President Trump they are fighting my family!

Were they successful in undermining President Trump? I doubt it. We who have the spending dollars in our wallets are more powerful than these whinny Leftists. We have not turned against President Trump or our nation’s best interests! President Trump is smarter than the bunch of them together. It was out of fairness, wisdom, and the generosity of President Trump to give them the chance to sit on his economic council; but President Trump did not really need their input for one minute. They didn’t hurt him.

That’s my take on the CEOs walking away from President Trump. Good riddance to more vermin!

From one Trump supporter to another, “Jeff Sessions has a job to do, or the President is right to relieve him.”

I was not in on any of the President’s briefs with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, so I am going to come at this from a place of common sense. Let me begin by saying that I have never had a job in my life where I was not accountable–mostly in the military. While U.S. military leaders are encouraged to take initiative on the battlefield, they are never granted the freedom to do whatever they want without conforming their actions on the concept of battle that their commander has given them. We don’t go fight wars on our own. Never!

So why am I talking about combat, the commander’s intent and the leader’s initiative in a post about the current conflict between the president and his attorney general? I use that metaphor because there is a very real “commander-subordinate” relationship between the two that is only being given lip-service in nearly all of the reports we are hearing in the media and the American people are being deceived and confused on the issues.

When President Trump nominated, then, Senator Jeff Sessions to become a member of the Executive Branch of government as the United States Attorney General, it was not so that Jeff Sessions could go off on his own and act independently without consulting with his boss, the Commander, the President of the United States. That means, for those confused by the Obama media, Democrats, and Never Trumpers in the Congress, that Jeff Sessions did not report to the People of Alabama anymore (directly), he reported to President Trump! He had an obligation to bring to the President issues that he was facing and decisions that he would be making before he made those decisions public (like recusing himself from the so-called “Russia Investigation” or more properly called the “Witch Hunt”). When President Trump nominated Jeff Sessions to be his (and the proper relationship is “his”) Attorney General, Jeff Sessions’ first obligation and responsibility was to consult with the president, advise the president, and make sure that he was acting, as Attorney General, in accordance with the concept of the operations under the President of the United States! And that has never changed!

President Trump is completely correct in being frustrated with the man to whom he entrusted with the office of Attorney General. The Attorney General has acted as though he is unaccountable and independent of the President. Nothing could be further from the truth! Jeff Sessions did not have the right to recuse himself from any of his responsibilities independently and without making certain that his actions were consistent with President Trump’s battle plan. If he could not live with that, then he should have remained an Alabama Senator. So the next time someone says that Jeff Sessions was right in recusing himself without regard to the input of the President, they are trying to clothe themselves in the current epidemic of Establishment politics and not the truth of the relationship between the President and his Attorney General. Sessions was not appointed to be a “place holder” in the Executive Branch! He has a job to do! He needs to get on it! He is not a victim of anyone other than his own failures to perform the job he was nominated and confirmed to do!

The other thing that I would like to address is the hub-bub in the media about why President Trump is going after the Attorney General in public. I don’t think anyone other than President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions knows how many times President Trump and Jeff Sessions have talked about the focus of the Attorney General’s office and issues that need to be pursued criminally, such as the Clinton’s and their organized crime syndicate. What I am certain of, simply from a common sense perspective that God gave nearly all patriots (but is decidedly absent from all Liberals), is that President Trump has not spoken openly in interviews, media events, or Twitter, on subjects that he has not previously and privately discussed in detail with his attorney general–his subordinate in the Cabinet. So to all those people horrified that the President is speaking openly in public and writing on Twitter about his frustrations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, I suspect it is the result of a persistent failure of Jeff Sessions to do the job the President expected him to do and that he has previously commissioned him to do. You and I might cringe at the open criticism of Sessions by his boss, but it tells me two things that the enemy needs to know. First, that the President is giving the Attorney General an opportunity to get on the job before he fires him. It also sets the stage so that the media and the Establishment can’t say that they were blindsided with the dismissal if it is a call the President has to make. Second (and I believe that President holds no ill will toward Sessions), I believe that it should tell people that President Trump is not just going to forget about his battle plans to deal with the enemy. Those who think that they are above the law should truly think again and flee to a country that has no extradition policy with the United States (hear me Obama and Clintons) … because if President Trump will hold his friends and subordinates accountable, he will most definitely hold law breakers and enemies of the State to account for their illegal, unpatriotic and treacherous behaviors.

In the end, the message that I would give to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Democrats, the media, and the Establishment is this … President Trump is the President of the United States. Do your jobs or find a country to hide out in and hope he can’t find you. You might not like the way he does his job; but we do and we are still behind him no matter how you skew your made up fake polls.

With you President Trump! Make America great again! Please!

Benedict Arnold recognition for 2017 …

Benedict Arnold recognition for 2017 goes to …

 

In all honesty, I am being too harsh on Benedict Arnold by associating him with the likes of the following Republican House members who voted to sell out the United States military and, hence the United States of America, by supporting the complete funding of the Obama Agenda for the U.S. military. They are so cited because they voted to allow sexual deviants to take over the Department of Defense when they killed the Hartzler Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. In killing the Hartzler Amendment, they agreed to have you and me–through the DoD Budget (NDAA FY 2018)–to pay for their so-called “gender reassignment” surgeries and hormone treatments while the perverts will be placed on limited duty and cannot perform their military duties for two years of their service obligations. Benedict Arnold only tried to sell West Point to the British during the Revolutionary War (1780). That, most probably, would not have caused us to lose the war. Selling the DoD out to make sexual deviance the law of the land, paid for by you and me, may very well cause honest and moral war trained veterans to leave the military because of the hostile environment the Obama DoD–financed by Republicans on this list–will create in our armed forces. At the same time, their Defense funding will have the effect of attracting thousands of sexual deviants to flock to the military for surgeries and treatments that can never change their DNA, their true sex, or their genuine gender.

 

What I am asking you to do today, and into this 2018 election year, is that if you live in a U.S. House District in which the following U.S. Representatives sit:

(1) Write and call your Representative and voice your absolute objection to their vote to kill the Hartzler Amendment to the NDAA FY 2018 Budget. Further, assure them that you will seek and support–if not run for their seat yourself–a Primary opponent against them in 2018.

(2) Follow through! Consider running for their office yourself! We can make these national races funded by like minded citizens across the nation since they have betrayed our whole nation with their support of the NDAA FY 2018 Budget that would fully fund the Obama Agenda in the military! Most of these individuals ran for office telling you how Conservative they were and how opposed to Obama they were–then they voted for the Obama destruction of the U.S. military offering to sexual deviants a two year medical profile keeping them from doing their military duties to keep our military forces combat ready! This legislation makes it the DoDs financial responsibility to shoulder the medical costs of treatments and operations to make them “look” different, while at the cellular level they are exactly the same and will continue to be confused about their sexual identity. Do you want to pay for this? I hope not!

(3) Prepare yourself to support real honest to God Conservatives that will take on these fake Conservatives in your District’s Primary races for 2018. Support real candidates who believe in traditional American values–and will vote that way when they get into office.

(4) If your U.S. Representative is not on this list, first, thank God, and then prepare yourself, like me, to support honest to God Conservatives in other District Primary races for 2018 who believe in traditional American values–and will vote that way when they get into office.

(5) Write and call the White House and make sure that President Trump and his impotent “go along to get along” Secretary of Defense, Jim Mattis, understand that the NDAA FY 2018 Budget MUST NOT, MUST NOT, MUST NOT be passed into law without the provisions of the Hartzler Amendment!

(6) Finally, if you ever want your Representatives to listen to you, no matter what these listed Representatives said to get you to vote for them, remember that they lied! Are you tired of being represented by a liar that sells out our military? Then Primary them and run them out of Washington, D.C.!

 

Lastly, many of these so-called “Republicans” were elected to office since Barack Obama came to power and set in motion the Democrat’s agenda for the remaking of the United States of America into Europe’s likeness of Socialism and defeat at the hands of al Qaeda and ISIS. Now they have hobbled the U.S. military and perhaps doomed to failure our long war against terrorism. At least one of these Representatives was a Marine Lieutenant General. The Secretary of Defense was a Marine General. Many ran on their veteran status. As a retired soldier I can tell you that Obama remade the officer’s corps after his own image. Make sure that you don’t just trust a candidate because they wore the uniform. Find out what their core values really are or you will be in the same fix of betrayal in two more years–if we have that long. U.S. Representative Jack Bergman, 1st U.S. Congressional District of Michigan is a retired Lieutenant General of the Marine Corps. Benedict Arnold was a General officer too! Both have deceived and betrayed our military’s best interests. Be careful who you allow to vote in your name!

 

Here is the list of U.S. Representatives who voted to pay with your tax dollars the medical expenses to pretend to change the sex of confused members of the United States military. This is the list of Republicans who must be defeated by solid Constitutional Conservatives who hold and will always vote their traditional American values. Let’s get it done!

 

(1) Justin Amash, R-3rd District, Michigan, since 2001

(2) Jack Bergman, R-1st District, Michigan, since 2017

(3) Mike Coffman, R-6th District, Colorado, since 2009

(4) Barbara Comstock, R-10th District, Virginia, since 2015

(5) Paul Cook, R-8th District, California, since 2013

(6) Ryan Costello, R-6th District, Pennsylvania, since 2015

(7) Carlos Curbelo, R-26th District, Florida, since 2015

(8) Jeff Denham, R-10th District, California, since 2013

(9) Charlie Dent, R-15th District, Pennsylvania, since 2005

(10) John Faso, R-19th District, New York, since 2017

(11) Brian Fitzpatrick, R-8th District, Pennsylvania, since 2017

(12) Darrell Issa, R-49th District, California, since 2003

(13) John Katko, R-24th District, New York, since 2015

(14) Steve Knight, R-25th District, California, since 2015

(15) Leonard Lance, R-7th District, New Jersey, since 2009

(16) Frank LoBiondo, R-2nd District, New Jersey, since 1995

(17) Tom MacArthur, R-3rd District, New Jersey, since 2015

(18) Tom Reed, R-23rd District, New York, since 2013

(19) Dave Reichert, R-8th District, Washington, since 2005

(20) Ileana Ras-Lehtinen, R-27th District, Florida, since 2013

(21) Bill Shuster, R-9th District, Pennsylvania, since 2001

(22) Elise Stefanik, R-21st District, New York, since 2015

(23) Claudia Tenney, R-22nd District, New York, since 2017

 

Remember,

(1) No matter what else you may think that they have done for you, they have voted to destroy our military by supporting the Obama Agenda of making the U.S. military an agent of social change instead of the greatest fear of our enemies.

(2) They cannot be trusted with anything else. They have betrayed everyone who has ever served honorably in the United States military and their agenda will get good Americans killed because they are worried about being “PC” rather than funding the legitimate needs of our armed forces.

 

Stand up now for our nation and our children’s and grandchildren’s future!

If we no longer have valiant leaders of character, then it is time we be the leaders of our nation! Follow me!

BE THE CHANGE! FOLLOW ME!
I have been looking at those 23 Republican members of Congess who voted against the Hartzler Amendment to the NDAA for the FY 2018 budget. Tragically, this sell out to the LGBT/Democrat/Establishment political power structure in D.C. includes many Republicans elected by us to take back Washington from the Liberals and Obama since 2009. Even worse, these betrayers of our military includes many veterans, and even one retired Marine Lieutenant General! (WTH?!). We are even being told that the Secretary of Defense (General, Retired) Jim Mattis (USMC) encouraged them to do this! Oh, HELL NO! Who can we trust today?
Regardless, we know who voted the Hartzler Amendment down. It is a matter of record. What this tells me is that we who are veterans, military retirees, military voters of every branch, and supporters of our great military must not trust candidates who are themselves veterans like us until they put it all on the line to stop the sexual deviants from taking over and destroying our military! Trust only proven defenders of our military in the Republican Party! And vote for only those committed to our values!
As it stands now, the Republican Party is willing to sell out our national security at a time in which every Defense dollar is essential for genuine readiness maintenance spending requirements. What is necessary, as our enemies are preparing for war against us, is an absolute prohibition of “gender reassignment” expenditures and recruitment of mentally disturbed people (concerning their gender) coming into the DoD for useless surgeries and non-deployable status. Also, these House Republicans, in their great cowardice, have voted, in effect, to drive out of the military service men and women (there are only two genders) who are morally fit and experienced war fighters, to recruit mentally disturbed sexual deviants to defend our nation! Dare I say it? Yes! These Republicans are traitors!
You know that I will be taken down soon; so this is what you patriotic veterans, retirees, and service supporters must do. No matter what these 23 Republicans have done in the past, or their service record, they have voted to destroy the U.S. military by funding in full the Obama agenda to transform the military into a giant vehicle to normalize sexual deviance throughout the nation. You must identify each of these 23 Republican members of the House of Representatives who killed the Hartzler Amendment, and find qualified candidates you can support to defeat them in their Primary elections in 2018! Share and support efforts against each of these Republicans who betrayed you and your military!
Immediately, communicate by any means available to President Trump, that he MUST–ABSOLUTELY MUST–veto any Defense appropriation that fails to contain the provisions of the Hartzler Amendment! No negotiation! It must be vetoed!
Then, no matter what the situation or circumstance, if you truly care about our military, never waiver to stand and demand a return to the prohibition of the inclusion of sexual deviants (homosexuals, pedophiles, and transgenders) in the military for any reason at any time.
Unless we stand fast in unison today, our military and our nation will be destroyed according to the Left’s plan.
Do you not believe we can protect America without them? How in the hell did we do it before? We need leaders today like we had in the past! We need men like Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley, Patton, Grant, and Lee! If we no longer have them, then it is time we BE THEM for America today and tomorrow!

My Letter to President Trump! Re: Saving the U.S. Military!

Captain Terry M. Hestilow

United States Army, Retired

Fort Worth, Texas

July 13, 2017

President Donald J. Trump

President of the United States

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW

Washington, DC  20500

Reference:  National Defense Authorization Act, FY 2018; the absolute necessity of the Hartzler Amendment; and the need for immediate action to preserve the United States military from the effects of the Obama Administration’s efforts to destroy our armed forces.

Mr. President,

As a retired member of the United States Army I am extremely concerned with the continuation of the Obama agenda for destroying the ability of the military to defend our nation while changing its effective mission to one of using the armed forces as a de facto vehicle of social change to promote normalization throughout the nation of deviant sexual behaviors. I write to you, today, to plead with you to overthrow the Obama agenda now, and return the U.S. military to its proper war fighting mission!

Sir, as you know, our economy cannot afford to take money out of circulation for purposes that do not promote economic growth in the private sector without at the same time promoting our nation’s security. With that in mind, our Defense Budget may be hijacked by the potential for incalculable medical expenditures for ultimately ineffective treatments designed to promote the appearance of sexual change of members (removing them from their military duties for up to two years), but producing no real biological change in the person’s so-called gender or sexual identity. It is a fact that neither hormone manipulation nor sex reassignment surgeries can actually change a person’s sex, since a person’s sexual identity is programmed by nature in the individual’s DNA at the genetics level of each cell. Simply put, it is impossible to change a person’s sex, or gender, or sexual identity; and if a person has some dissonance with their biological sexual identity it is not correctable by hormone treatments or surgery; but rather, is a mental condition, by definition, that must be treated as a mental condition and not as an error of one’s biology to be changed or “corrected” by doctors. And since when did we enlist or commission people into the armed forces knowing that they already suffered a mental condition of any king, much less one that is incompatible with good order and discipline in the military? To enlist or commission such individuals into any of the branches of the U.S. military, knowing that medical treatments can never resolve their perceived biological dissonance, would be a betrayal of the best interests of the American People and those in the military depending on those Defense dollars to be spent on real readiness budget issues!

 

With that in mind, Mr. President, it would be unconscionable that even one dollar of the U.S. Defense budget to be diverted from actual DoD readiness “war fighting” requirements – to pay for so-called medical practices or procedures that cannot, by nature, actually alter or change a person’s true gender. Indeed, unbiased scientific studies of identical twins (who share from conception identical DNA) overwhelmingly reveal that a person’s sexual confusion about their sexual identity, be that homosexuality, gender confusion (aka transgenderism), and any other individual perceptions about “being” a gender other than “male” or “female” is mentally rooted and has absolutely no correlation to their biology; but rather, life influencing events, mental perceptions and psychological influences. No amount of hormone treatments or surgeries can ever resolve the issues these people face.

Much like Democrats today, who refuse to cooperate with you in seeking to serve our nation honestly and with your best interests in mind, no amount of honest intellectual reasoning with those who seek to integrate sexual perversion throughout our military will ever result in a good outcome for our nation, our armed forces, or the men and women who serve.  They are not about moving forward governing or protecting our nation.  The so-called LGBT/Democrat agenda is political and not based on sound defense policy, rational thought or true science. It is simply focused on throwing off all moral restraint and decency with the forced rejection of the very institution, like marriage, family, and a strong military, in their efforts to mandate social change and to usher in some form of government that we should all fear rather than embrace! It will not be one in which tolerance of traditional thought will be allowed, to be sure!

If you don’t believe me, this old veteran of both the Vietnam War and the War on Terrorism, then candidly ask Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis if he truly believes that the inclusion of sexual deviants in the military, promoted by budget authorizations, science fiction medicine, and legal threats of disciplinary action against those who hold traditional values under a perverted Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), can ever promote a lean, strong, and ready military force capable of defeating America’s enemies already preparing to attack us in every way imaginable, inside the nation and around the globe. If he is the man that I, and most patriotic Americans, believe that he is, he will assure you that the Left’s agenda is uniformly against our military’s readiness and its survival as an institution of strength for the enforcement of U.S. foreign policy abroad. The only purpose that the Left sees for the military is to be a command directed environment to grow perverted liberalism and spread its perverted philosophies across the United States as discharged reeducated troops return to their home communities.

It is my true fear, Mr. President, that unless you immediately reverse the Obama agenda to pervert and destroy the U.S. military through inclusion of personnel openly practicing and promoting a homosexual lifestyle in the military, and those who openly practicing and promote transgenderism in the force, we will be sad to see the eventually destruction of our powerful military’s ability to confront and defeat our enemies in the field. At a minimum, and I am certain that Secretary Mattis will confirm my suggestion, any retention or expansion of such inclusion of persons openly practicing and promoting the homosexual and transgender lifestyles in the U.S. military will make day-to-day life for not only commanders, but leaders at every level, a non-negotiable career mine field that sanity will demand they leave.  I am certain that this is not your goal for our military?

Sir, I urge you to refuse to accept a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 that fails to contain the “Hartzler Amendment”, named for its author, Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-4th Congressional District of the state of Missouri. It would begin to remove the cancer of the Obama Administration’s agenda in the military that, if left in place, will ultimately destroy our war fighting capability. Indeed, it would be the correct first-step to end the recruitment of individuals who are not coming into the armed forces to serve our national defense requirements, but rather, to obtain, free of charge, the medical treatments that they have been led to believe will allow them to “become” sexually different from their birth identity. The Hartzler Amendment would properly end the provision of taxpayer defense funds to pay for 100% ineffective medical treatments and surgeries (removing the member from duty for two years while undergoing the treatments and meaning that they cannot perform their assigned military duties). Let me repeat, that while we lose the member from their military duties, the medical treatments can never actually achieve the member’s desired purpose or outcome of changing their biological identity (gender reassignment)!

Of no lesser importance, the Hartzler Amendment would protect regular Americans in the military from the full-scale assault upon their conscience and their careers. Members of the military would not have the right of their privacy that would be assaulted in their latrines and living spaces by forced re-indoctrination under threat of disciplinary action. It is one thing to ask of service members that they jeopardize their lives and their families to the consequence of military service to keep our country free; but it is quite another to force them to literally shower with, live with, and work with individuals that hold their own gender identity in contempt! The Obama Administration, when fully implemented, will not only force the best of our service members out of service, but it will prevent the best of the next generation from believing that military service is morally suitable for their voluntary commitment to military service. The military will become a cesspool!

Think about it, Mr. President. How can we allow funds necessary for the proper operations and maintenance of our Defense structure to be diverted to pay for this deviant sexual social experiment when we have enemies flexing their muscles around the globe and challenging us with aggression while half of our equipment has to be cannibalized to keep the other half of our equipment operational and combat ready? I know that weak in the knee political types are willing to fall on their knees to betray our armed services in the name of social change if they sense the winds are driving the polls in that direction; but I do not believe that of you, Mr. President, nor your combat wizened and highly decorated Secretary of Defense. You are both made of more patriotic substance and moral courage than they!  You have no common cause with them! You know that they would slaughter you, your children, and our military on their altars to the overthrow of the United States if you allowed them to have their way in continuing to implement Barack Obama’s anti-military agenda.

I saw you yesterday in a news clip saying to, I think, Dr. Pat Robertson, “If Hillary had been elected; our military would have been decimated.” I believe that you are right. But, Mr. President, unless you now prevail and refuse to accept the NDAA Budget for FY 2018 unless it contains the provisions of the Hartzler Amendment, and unless you now reverse the Obama agenda to allow those who practice sexually deviant lifestyles to continue to serve, enlist or receive commissions in the armed forces, it will not be Hillary Clinton who will decimate the military … it will be you!  Mr. President, when the epitaph for America is read, the destruction of our military will be what you will be forever remembered. I don’t believe that you will do that.

Mr. President, I have faced the Communists in Vietnam, and the Taliban in Afghanistan (I left the Army between 1993 and 2002 because I could not serve Bill Clinton who had sought our military defeat in Vietnam).  I was an enlisted soldier, a non-commissioned officer (Staff Sergeant) and commissioned officer (Captain) in the Military Police Corps (Vietnam), the Infantry “Airborne”, and Civil Affairs (Afghanistan).  I tell you this because I have a very long history of service and have always been committed to our nation’s best interests (as is also your desire and commitment).  The weasels (and here I slander the animal unfairly) who would allow our military to be destroyed are not your friends nor mine.  Stand with me, sir, and refuse to allow the enemy to destroy our military from within.  I will stand with you as long as you stand for our military forces.  The enemy would destroy us both.  Sir, I stand with you.  If they kill me, so be it!  Let us stand, or die, as men of genuine principle!  I believe in you.

With prayers that God will grant you the exceptionally great wisdom for the man who leads the greatest Christian nation in the history of the world!  It is with profound respect I urge to capture the victory,

Your servant and champion,

Of course, I am grieved with all patriotic Americans, that President Trump and Secretary of Defense Mattis decided to leave in place this cancer in our Department of Defense; but I suspect that, in the final analysis, it boils down to perceived “must do” priorities in our world where America is threatened constantly from within and without.

 

I will tell you that the Left had to force, via Barack Obama’s presidency, their deviant sexual agenda into the cellular structure of the DoD in order to use the military as a forced vehicle of change to destroy the nation from within. Think about it. By adopting not only acceptance of all forms of sexual deviance–none of which are supported by either biology or history–into the armed forces by command directive, but also making the DoD medical system a resource to expand the biological impossibility of altering one’s sexual identity with Defense funds (which can then never be used for Defense purposes), the Left has intentionally inserted a lethal cancer into the force.

 

Further, their success goes (again intentionally) far beyond simply allowing sexual deviant persons from being in the U.S. armed forces. They have now forced all military members to be required under threat of the Uniform Code of Military Justice to sit in endless classes–not honing their military skills–but being–by command direction of their unit Training Schedules–to submit to reeducation classes that force them to live as though biology and their religious faith is a lie (if their religious faith does not agree).

 

Finally, the Left’s total deviance plan and reordering of the U.S. military is employed in this multifaceted way because they know that when members of the armed forces finish their military service obligation and return home, they will likely then carry back into American communities the deviant ideas they were forced to embrace by law when they were in the military for the specific strategic purpose of perverting the nation as though with a virus to destroy the country.

 

This policy must be reversed. I hope that it is reversed and returned to cultural and biological sanity before our military–and our children in uniform–are forced to suffer terrible defeats on the battlefields to which they will be deployed. This is not a joke and it will have grave consequences on our nations survival if it is not stopped soon.

The lie we must never accept.

Today, Democrats and their enablers are telling us, as usual, that the Alexandria Democrat terrorist was suffering from mental illness and was not representative of Democrat Party thought or political motive. That is a deliberate lie being told in an attempt to create necessary distance and cover for themselves from their terrorist agents carrying out the violence they actually seek against their political enemies. Democrat Party leaders at every level, the media, university professors, and liberal elites everywhere are the ones who knowingly inspire such behaviors among their devotees. But saying that the actions of this Democrat terrorist, antifa, BLM, street rioters, and college rioters is somehow exceptional from the agenda of Democrats, in and out of office, is a deliberate and necessary lie intended to preserve credibility in a gullible public to allow them to continue to believe that Democrats and media speakers are not themselves responsible for the violence we see them using all across the land to destroy our nation.

Know beyond any reasonable question or doubt that those who knew, or were associated with the Alexandria Democrat terrorist who attacked Congressional Republicans did not consider him to be in any way mentally ill or emotionally disturbed! Indeed, the issues that he emphasized and the things that he wrote, sponsored, and said in public and private or on social media, were not distinguishably different from the language of Congressional Democrats, actors from Hollywood, and people like Kathy Griffin! If we are to believe that the Alexandria Democrat terrorist was mentally disturbed or emotionally unstable, then, we must, by default, agree that his instability mentally and emotionally must necessarily infect all Democrats, media, Hollywood, and academics who are proclaiming the very same ideas every day to their brainwashed Marxist followers!

No! The Alexandria Democrat terrorist espoused the exact same rhetoric of all Democrats. His behavior was not irrational or inconsistent with the rhetoric of Democrats everywhere. On the contrary, his actions were rationally plotted and planned as a committed enemy. His actions were deliberate and a well executed murderous terrorist attack not on random citizens, but upon Congressional Republicans for the purpose of killing the American People’s representatives to stop President Trump’s legislative political agenda. These were not the actions of a mentally ill person; but rather, a soldier under command (and hopefully from his computer we will learn who was directly working with him to execute this military operation).

The Alexandria Democrat terrorist was not a mentally or emotionally disturbed person in any way exceptional to rank and file Democrats. He was, in every way possible, a reflection of who Democrats in our nation have become. We are not the same! And unless Democrats repent of their hatred for our Constitution and the values that made America great–unless they repent of their desire to destroy our nation and overthrow our cultural and religious values–we must never seek to embrace any “unity” with them anywhere that we find them.

Democrats and the Alexandria terrorist are one and the same and must be likewise condemned–period!

The Virginia terrorist attack was not committed by a lone deranged actor; but a Democrat terrorist acting in concert with his Party.

Concerning the Democrat terrorist attack on Congressional Republicans in Alexandria, Virginia, this morning. As is their method of operation to deny their involvement and paint the individual actor as an unhinged individual, Democrats, and the media, will attempt to paint the terrorist from Illinois (whom I will not name because he deserves no recognition for his crimes) as a man who was plagued by mental and emotional disorders, and was acting inconsistent with Democrat ideals or strategic policy.

That is a lie and will be a lie every time you hear it. The terrorist was acting exactly in concert with the demonstration of Democrat strategy from North to South and East to West. Do not repeat their claims that he was mentally deranged! He was a Democrat (of the Sanders camp) acting like all other Democrats in any of their quarters. He was a Democrat in every respect like Kathy Griffin or the actors in the New York play, “Julius Caesar” who laud and call for murder and mayhem, or the Hollywood elites or George Soros who promote and fund terrorist violence in the streets for Democrat political agendas. He may have been mentally deranged, but he was, indeed, mentally deranged in the exact same way that any and all Democrats are anywhere in the country. Indeed, he is just like the Islamic terrorist that the Democrats support in every respect until he accomplishes their terrorist act; then, to attempt to maintain some credibility, the Democrats–unlike the true Islamists–try to distance themselves from his or her acts. The Democrat terrorist was not deranged beyond what it necessarily means to be a Democrat–they are all deranged!

What you must remember is this. He obviously had contacts in the Democrat Party who assisted him in identifying when and where Republican legislators would be particularly vulnerable–in this case Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s Virginia where only police and criminals carry guns. His agenda was carefully planned and executed to kill as many Republican legislators as possible to frustrate and obstruct the President’s legislative agenda (absolute Democrat obstructionism like Democrat legislators and judges, but with guns). There was nothing random about his actions. This was a military style plan to fix and assault victims in a kill zone for a political purpose. He did not act alone and he most definitely was acting on behalf of George Soros’ obstructionist agenda to overthrow Constitutional government. Never ever let the Democrats get away with denying their corporate involvement and participation in this attack on members of the Republican Party and the American People. This was and is an act of war by the Democrats on our way of life and government!

Do not be deceived by their denials or their feigned prayers. It is psychological operations only!

Stand strong, America, and refuse to allow the Democrats to overthrow our Constitutional government.

P.S. The only part of their operation that went wrong (for them) was that Majority Whip, Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, was at the game practice this morning, which meant that a security detail of the Capitol Police was present to engage and kill the Democrat terrorist in his actions. Had it not been for the Capitol Police, no one would have had arms to protect themselves and the baseball diamond would have been a near perfect killing zone for the Democrat terrorist to slaughter his victims at will and without resistance.

Yes, you may share this!
