During one of daily Chinese Virus briefing last week, a journalist working for the One American News Network (OANN), Ms. Chanel Rion, asked President Trump the following question:

“2,405 Americans have died from coronavirus in the last 60 days. Meanwhile, you have 2,369 children who are killed by their mothers through elective abortion each day. That’s sixteen and a half thousand children [16,500] killed every week. Two states have suspended elective abortion to make more resources available for coronavirus cases — that’s Texas and Ohio. Do you agree with states who are placing coronavirus victims above elective abortions and should more states be doing the same?” [1]

Several days later, Ms. Rion was tossed out of the daily Chinese Virus briefings by the a group called the White House Correspondents’ Association. The Association’s statement claimed that Ms. Rion’s question posed a threat to “public safety.” [2] This action is no surprise, although its slowness in publishing probably shows how many DNC officials had to review it after a DNC official composed it.

Ms. Rion’s question was appropriate. Even the media’s scare-estimates of the number of Americans likely to die from the Chinese Virus cannot hide the fact that these oh-so-concerned American doctors murder 16,500 Americans per week. Neither can the fact be hidden that these same first-do-no-harm American doctors have murdered more than 61 million American infants since 1973. Neither can the fact be hidden that these humanitarian American doctors and their Democratic overseers hide the fact that they are now ready to murder infants after they are born.

The other part of this murderous triad is composed of those who-keep-murders-hidden, the U.S. mainstream media. Indeed, these journalists write with blood, and are the key Triad member. They hide the total number of abortions; they hide the despicable infant-dismembering, body part-sales, and profiteering by Planned Parenthood; and they draw the curtain over Jeffrey Epstein’s decades-long pedophilia story and the participation therein by many members of the economic, military, entertainment, media and political elites. What they never hide is the destruction they serve up to any American who speaks up, writes, or makes movies trying to expose the half-century campaign-of-murder conducted by American doctors and their Democratic protectors

An appropriately cynical and jurisprudence-ignorant coda to Ms. Rion’s removal was provided by Ohio District Court Judge Michael Barrett, who issued a two-week restraining order to block the governor of Ohio’s order to stop selective abortions – like all all other selective operations — until the Chinese Virus and the crisis it was meant to produce are defeated. In blocking the governor, this foolish judge wrote, “‘The [pro-abortion] law is well-settled that women possess a fundamental constitutional right of access to abortions.” [3] It is to be hoped that the American people recognize that Judge Barrett’s defense of abortion and infanticide portrays nothing but a lust for killing unlimited numbers of Americans.

Really, “well-settled law”? Well, this simply ignores the reality that no law is ever really settled. Roe-vs-Wade is a spring chicken, less than fifty-years-old. There is an American law, for example, that was “well-settled law” for 82 years and then was overturned. This law is found in the protection that the U.S. Constitution afforded for Black slavery, a protection that also gave slave states the right to count a portion of their slaves in determining the number of members each would have in the national legislature. This “settled law”—35 years older than Rove-vs-Wade — was overturned in December 1865 when the 13^th Amendment was ratified and became part of the Constitution. The amendment’s text was clear and simple:

–“Section 1: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

“–Section 2: Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” [3]

A civil war, of course, was fought by the United States to defeat Democrat-led Southern secession. The Union victory, in 1865, also created an environment that allowed for an amendment of the Constitution’s text. That is, the successful war allowed a “well-settled law” to be forever overturned. This is a fact worth keeping in mind.

Black Americans, for all of the 1783-1865 period, were widely and wrongly thought to be inferior humans and, therefore, slavery was their proper station. But even then, they were not being deliberately murdered, as black, white, and other-race infants are now. Clearly, 1973’s Roe-vs-Wade reestablished a more murderous kind slavery in the United States, one making women into the owners of human beings; doctors into the willing and profiting murderers of human beings; and the Democrats, with the media and judges they own, the vital protectors of both.

The law created by Roe-vs-Wade, as well the blood-lust that drives its murderous operators and advocates, will be overturned and overruled in God’s good time, to paraphrase Mr. Lincoln on slavery. Wisdom would have a united American population act in a civil, commonsense, and legal manner to abolish this second iteration of a national government-sanctioned installation of slavery in the United States, plussed-up this time around with legalized pre- and post-birth murder.

Wisdom does not always prevail, however. Thankfully, the republic’s history does provide an assortment of other methods — some peaceful, many not — to choose from in order to eliminate barbarous laws stupidly thought to be “well-settled”.

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning …

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it …

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you

If Americans do not recognize the Democrats’ Nazi-like adoration of murdering innocents when it comes to abortion, infanticide, and pedophilia, their 22-23 March 2020 blocking of the Senate’s slate of relief measures for small businesses and American workers ought to remove the scales from the eyes of those who still think the Democrats are interested in helping anyone but themselves, the elite, and the colonies of illegal voters they have brought into the United States. All Democrats are enemies of loyal Americans and their republic. In this period of illness, they clearly want to run-up the death total as far up as possible, as well as to create massive discontent – and they hope street violence — among their illegal alien voters and their domestic, fascist terrorist groups like ANTIFA.

I wrote here several months ago that it clearly was possible that martial law may have to be installed in the United States with the aim of ridding the republic of the Democrats and delousing all national institutions of their deep-state bureaucrats and operatives, the illegal aliens who do their bidding – as in the murder of Seth Rich and so many others — and eliminating the executive departments that the Democrats have used for decades to poison the minds of the nation’s young and teach them abject obedience, especially the Department of Education.

If this becomes necessary, the installation of martial law will be, in and of itself, an exceedingly dangerous threat to the republic’s survival. Standing militaries, historically, have been the most lethal possible threat to republicanism. The new national government formed under the Constitution, George Washington wrote in his Farewell Address, “will avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.”(1) He and most of the other Founders –even Hamilton, to a certain extent — unanimously understood and legitimately feared a standing military, viewing it as omnipresent threat to republican government. Indeed, the 2^nd Amendment is meant to ensure that Americans are able resist tyrannical politicians and/or a rogue military.

For most of American history a rogue military has been unthinkable. Since General Washington surrendered his commission and sword to the Articles of Confederation government at Annapolis on 23 December 1783, the U.S. general officer corps has spoken and behaved in a manner that was intended to testify to its subordination to the civilian leaders of the national government. There have been generals who tested civilian control – including George McClellan and Douglas MacArthur – but, until now, U.S. generals have reliably gone about their own responsibilities, keeping silent on non-military affairs, and leaving governing and their orders to elected officials.

Not anymore. As part of the Democrats’ mad, Nazi-like hatred of both Trump and the loyal citizenry, serving and retired generals and admirals, before, during, and since the 2016 election, have attacked the republic’s chief magistrate and undermined the citizenry’s confidence in the military’s devotion to the nation and obedience to the commander-in-chief. A partial list of these NATO-adoring, war-losing, and corporate-shill bastards includes John Kelly, James Mattis, H.R. McMaster, Joseph Dunford, William H. McRaven, Michael Hayden, Stanley McChrystal, James Stavridis, Colin Powell, Martin Dempsey, David Petraeus, Jack Keane, Paul Zukunft, and Vincent K. Brooks. (2) If martial law becomes necessary to save the republic from its Democrat-military enemies, these general and admirals – along with those who are known to be covertly cooperating with Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Biden, Clapper, Comey, etc. – must first be forcibly seized and detained indefinitely.

In these days, then, the decision to install martial law in the republic would be a crapshoot, as the U.S. military cannot be confidently said to be a reliable protector of the nation. That said, thoe Democrats leaders, by their refusal to assist America’s work force, small businesses, and overall economy; their and the media’s constant lies about the nature/origin of the Chinese Virus and the supposed failure of Trump’s administration to adequately fight it; and the refusal – per New York’s Governor Cuomo — of the Democrats’ millennial support base to stop congregating in public and get their self-centered, non-adult asses off the street and into their rent-free parents’ basements, have more than earned all Democrats a devastating level of retribution.

Still, the evidence is crystal clear that Trump has been preparing for a showdown with his and the republic’s just-noted enemies and the deep state as a whole since he was inaugurated. The time for that event seems to be near, and the republic is worth  taking any risk needed to preserve it. Perhaps the best guidance for loyal Americans lies in Theodore Roosevelt’s advice that, in the face of powerful enemies – political or military or foreign, or, in this case, all three – each American must “fear God and take your own part”.

As a retired, quickly aging intelligence officer, I am surprised that no one seems to have mentioned the indispensable contribution Mrs. Clinton and her unsecured e-mail server made to the fact that the Chinese Virus caught the U.S. government off-guard and so now must race to deal with. I guess that is not exactly true. Having watched most of President Trump’s daily televised briefings, the mainstream media have followed its standard operating procedure of unrelentingly phrasing questions to influence public opinion to believe Trump caused the epidemic and/or failed to properly respond to it. One new twist that has appeared in the journalists’ performance, however, is their use of talking points faxed to them daily from Beijing.

From a personal perspective, it would be useful for those who view the briefings to recall that nearly every reporter in the sessions, as well as all of the Democratic Party for which they work, have merrily supported the AMA’s murder of 61-plus million Americans since 1973. Why in the world would any sane American — that is, anyone not a doctor or in the Media-Democrat death cult — believe that either party gives a good god-damn about how many American men, women, and kids die from the Chinese Virus. The clear and unavoidable truth is that these cultists do not care about any lives but their own. Indeed, high numbers of American dead would bring them great joy, as it results in fewer of the people they claim are responsible for the climate-change fraud the death-cultists are propagating.

Anyway, as I recall the story of Mrs. Clinton’s server-treason – approved by Obama and  used by him and other cabinet members – one of the major attacks on U.S. security and intelligence capabilities was China’s reported reception of nearly every e-mail that was sent or received by the server. When the story first surfaced, the mainstream media raced to debunk it, claiming that it was false and only meant to defame Mrs. Clinton. As time passed, and more hard data regarding the server was released, it now seems clear that at least Chinese regime, and perhaps other of America’s nation-state enemies, were privy to everything on Mrs. Clinton’s server. Indeed, a China-owned entity is reported to have received a drop company of every e-mail that involved use of the treason-server.

One of the early issues realted to the treason-server was that the Chappaqua-to-Beijing-bound e-mails permitted the Chinese communists to learn enough from what they read to eliminate much of the CIA’s stable of human assets in China, thereby blinding the U.S. government regarding Chinese events and plans, in so far as human-intelligence reporting was concerned. If true, this, of course, was a disaster, as it takes years to build an agent network broad enough to cover U.S. intelligence-collection goals in any given country. And it takes an even longer when a network is destroyed and the target-nation’s intelligence services are looking closely for any effort by the United States to rebuild it.

If Mrs. Clinton and her Obama-approved treason-server did instruct Beijing on exactly how to find and then exterminate the CIA’s agent network in China, it is more than likely that U.S. intelligence-collection capabilities in China have not fully returned to pre-massacre levels. If that is so, it is, without question, negatively impacting our knowledge of China’s economics, politics, military capabilities, societal stability, and a host of other topics of interest to the U.S. government. It also, necessarily, deprived the national government of the chance to gather data about the Chinese Virus during the period Beijing was lying about it and covering up its existence.

While I doubt that CIA had, at anytime, an asset in China reporting on run-of-the-mill colds, flus, and viruses, there surely were, before the treason-server, one or more assets reporting on China’s design, production, and testing of chemical and biological weapons. It is therefore next-to-certain — for those with commonsense — that, minus the agent massacre apparently facilitated by Mrs. Clinton, the Agency would have had one or more long-term, experienced, and reliable assets assigned to gather intelligence about the Chinese military’s chemical-biological weapons program. That asset or assets, once rumors about the Chinese Virus began to swirl, would have been tasked to collect data about the goings-on at the Wuhan chemical/biological-weapons plant where the spread of the Chinese Virus was started by China or began by accident.

Now, because the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the FBI have destroyed, hidden, or redacted-to-unintelligibility the hundreds of thousands of Mrs. Clinton’s e-mails they hold, Americans cannot be sure whether or not Secretary of State Clinton’s treasonous use of the unsecure server fueled the slaughter of CIA assets in China, thereby denying the Trump Administration of a chance to get an earlier start on an anti-Chinese Virus campaign. This cost of treason to the republic is always steep, but it perhaps has never been more expensive than it seems to be today, and all for the sake of Mrs. Clinton’s “convenience”.

So, what to do? Well, perhaps a few of the so-called journalists who attend the daily Chinese-Virus briefings could place a one-day halt on their Trump-faulting questions; on their weepy if sophomoric pleas to stop saying “Chinese virus”; and on their self-righteous demands that the president answer questions to which no one on earth has a sure answer, or that he jump is his car and personally deliver face-masks to nurses and doctors in need of them. During such a halt, one of these pro-China journalists could ask the following question:

“Mr. President, would the United States have been better positioned to get an earlier start in limiting the impact of the Chinese Virus on Americans if then-Secretary of State Clinton’s unsecured and apparently tapped server had not helped the Beijing regime wipe out the CIA asset network in China?”

I expect neither the Democrat-Chinese journalists to ask the question, nor to see DoJ and FBI fess up to the fact that their overriding institutional goals are to deny the truth to Americans and to protect Mrs. Clinton from her well-earned date with the gallows. But there is still a long-shot glimmer of hope in the corrupt blackness of Washington. This glimmer will be kept alive as long as Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch are fighting for the release of the massive archive of Mrs. Clinton’s incriminating  documents DoJ and FBI have suppressed, which, when made public, will sink Madam Secretary and the whole malodorous, malevolent, and murderous deep state.

I was born in 1952, was raised by a World War II Marine, educated largely in Catholic schools and by Jesuits, before they became new-age fruit loops, and went to work at 14 washing dishes in an Italian restaurant in Buffalo. Those factors limited the poisonous impact of the 1960s on my character, although I was not shy about long hair, short of contempt for some authorities, or quiet about opposing the war in Vietnam.

The latter, I must say, was not based on any unrelenting opposition to war. I have none, because war does settle some important problems permanently. We became free, after all, because of a war, and, of course, General Washington. Now it seems that I have an almost genetic refusal to believe that there is a war that cannot be won militarily. Indeed, I believe, then and now, that the United States must win any war that it gets itself into, whether it’s a necessary war – a war of survival – or a needless war caused and then dabbled in until defeat by half-ass presidents like Clinton, the two Bushes, Obama, and their host of incompetent, politically correct generals.

Still, I am part of the generation that is now causing the accelerating decline and – more likely than not – the destruction of the American republic. How so? Most of my generation was coddled by their parents, and many males were largely neutered by being taught to be behave as if they are eternal dependents, to look toward the national government for support after their parents were gone, and to be obedient and neither self-reliant or questioning of authority.

Females of the generations were not neutered, but so many of them – especially in the media, in entertainment, in education, and, overwhelmingly, in politics — were reduced to eternally whining wretches wanting to attain some non-existent nirvana that allowed them to be both wives and mothers and tycoons of industry. And all of this was to be accomplished not with hard work, but rather with a zeal for extorting success by making many false accusations about their persecution by men, and then winning better jobs and more pay from those quaking and neutered male bastards. Most important, they demanded the right to be wildly promiscuous and then the right to be allowed to murder the unwanted issue of their indiscriminate, even frivilious dalliances. Looking for murderous Nazis? On this score, look directly at these women.

My generation is now beginning to peter out in so far as its participation in the public square is concerned, but some of that human refuse – especially among politicians and the economic elite — remain at many important helms. In the nation’s current situation, we can see the price of neutering males in all those supposedly tough and hard-nosed bankers, industrialists, stock traders, journalists, and technology giants running for the hills to save as much of their own money as they can. We see the administrators and senior professors of most of the nation’s elite universities sprinting for home, shutting down classes, and offering their anti-American indoctrination via the internet.

Apparently, no one told these paragons of vice, self-indulgence, and rank selfishness that their students are the sector of the population least at risk from the current virus – though the most at risk from their poisonous teaching — which fear-mongers among the political class, the elite, the media, and pro-Democrat, anti-Trump doctors are flogging for all their worth.

We also see, the Democratic Party at its most authentic, refusing to cooperate with the Trump Administration to staunch the economic and medical bleeding, damning its every action and ridiculing the president, and doing everything possible to portray the quintessentially stupid stiff Joe Biden as the leader America needs. In this scenario, what Americans need most is to make sure that the Bidens, Pelosi, Sanders, Schumer, the Clintons, Bloomberg, and the Obamas are infected with the flu, and then marooned to enjoy each other’s company until death does them part. It would be good to have the whole process filmed so Americans can be certain that these fanatical enemies-of-the-republic are well and truly dead and picked clean by buzzards.

To meet what appears to be a strong, not terribly lethal flu, the behavior and rhetoric of these cretins claim that Trump and his team are lying and hiding the advent of a plague. We have managed to turned the occasion into an economic and social disaster that rightly could be expected only from the onset of the genuine, long-lasting plague. In addition, the Democrats have used the flu to scare the population, to further divide the nation, to try to increase abortions, and to hide the dementia of a walking corpse called Biden. Instead of going about their lives as steady adults, a large number of Americans are reveling in panic, announcing predictions of doom, and – as in climate change – using a now-not-major threat to terrorize their own children. Of all American behaving in this manner, the country’s elites have behaved in the most disgraceful manner.

For most of the republic’s history, America’s elite provided a calming and steadying influence in times of economic distress, sickness, natural disaster, and war. In the latter case, they were usually among the first volunteers to step into harm’s way. They rightly took pride in so doing and believed it was the behavior that ought to be expected from the wealthy and otherwise privileged. Shame would have indelibly attached itself to those of the elite who ran and hid from trouble.

But the Clintons’ long ago killed shame in this country, and by so doing began to remake the trademarks of the country’s contemporary elite into greed for money and power, libertinism, illegal behavior, unnecessary wars, lust for infanticide, a two-tiered legal system, a seemingly unquenchable thirst for making all forms sexual deviancy the new normal, and a diabolical determination to destroy the republic and its Constitution. Without question, they are the long-term, deadly plague from which this country suffers.

“I fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the people of the South their dearest rights. … I did only what my duty demanded. I could have taken no other course without dishonour. And if it were all to be done over again, I should act in precisely the same manner.” Robert E. Lee

In a world of fools, it is now the turn of the Marine Corps’ commandant General David Berger to strut on the stage of insanity. He  put on his god-like robes and imperial diadem and announced his decision “forbidding the display of Confederate symbols on Marine installations.” (1) Berger, it appears, is just one more of the republic’s history erasers, but I tend to think the eraser at a Ticonderoga pencil’s tip has more perceptiveness than Berger-the-eraser.

I repeatedly have been told that all Marines must read the U.S. Constitution each year, so as to understand what he or she is meant to defend with their lives. And having walked through the Marine Corps Museum at Quantico — both when it was located in series of aircraft hangers and Quonset huts. and now when it is hosted in a beautiful new museum — their seems no single group of men and women who know more about their organization, their nation, and their role in its preservation than the U.S. Marines, from privates to — until now — general officers.

That is as it should be. The Marines have made much of the nation’s history, and their participation in that process is marked by heroism, unusual valor, and, sadly, large numbers of dead, wounded, maimed. Indeed, the Marine Corps was active in America’s defense since its formation in Philadelphia on 10 November 1775 — more than seven months before the publication of the Declaration of Independence. Through thick and thin, the U.S. Marine Corps has been the most dependable, proficient, and valorous branch of the U.S. military.

Given the Marine Corps’ historical consciousness and combat record, General Berger’s decision is inexplicable. At the most basic level, the best answer to anyone who claims to be offended by the Army of Northern Virginia’s (ANV) battle flag is “tough shit, it’s integral to U.S. history, it honors 600,000-plus dead Americans on both sides of the Civil War, so move on”. Berger, in his action, has aligned himself and, implicitly, all of the Marine Corps with those who are ignorant of American history and are busy destroying statutes and other symbols of the republic’s history; promoting sectional divisions in the United States; denigrating and seeking to eradicate the Founders’ memory and achievements; and siding with those trying to make America’s young into history-ignorant automatons, without critical thinking skills, and unable to do anything but follow and vote for those who hate the republic.

Those who want to forbid the flying of the ANV’s battle flag because it is considered a symbol of slavery, treason, and oppression are ignoramuses. During the Civil War, there certainly were those who believed those claims, but they were few. A far greater number fought for only one thing, to either break of preserve the Union. That question was settled temporarily at Appomattox in 1865, but there was no postwar amendment added to the U.S. Constitution asserting that the Union was thereafter inviolable or, as the Articles of Confederation said, “perpetual”.

What was settled at Appomattox was that North and South would give the Union another try and their success is seen today in the still, though barely, functioning Union. The ANV’s flag and the flag United States are both to be respected because they denote not just war, but probably a more thorough reconciliation of North and South than has ever been seen between two adversaries in history’s many other bloody civil wars.

The flag of the Union , of course, must predominate, but the ANV flag must be honored for both the war’s dead, killed, and crippled Southern Americans, and the willingness of the South’s fighting men and their families to follow General Lee’s guidance and resume being loyal American citizens and to join in the restoration of the Union, the south’s economy, and inter-sectional amity.

I wish I was surprised that General Berger does not understand the importance of the ANV flag to the Union, the South, and to so many of his own Marines. After 1865 and through the Spanish-American War, ex-Confederate soldiers and other Southerners served and often fought in all branches of the U.S. military. In the 2oth century, Southerners have served in all branches, but seemingly in none more often than the Marine Corps.

Berger’s despicable, cowardly, and politically correct decision has strongly implied that those Southern U.S. marines who might have worn an ANV flag patch on their shoulder; who respected and loved Confederate heroes and the fight they made; and whose family might have flown the flag at home, or placed a small ANV flag on the grave of a son or daughter killed in combat are racists and so unworthy of remembering, honoring or toleratiing.

The Marines’ bloody fights at Belleau Wood and Mont Blanc Ridge; at Wake Island, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and Iwo Jima, at Chosen Resevoir and the Punchbowl, at Hue and Khe Sanh, and in Helmand Province and at 2nd Fallujah were fought by men and women from all parts of the country. Now, in retrospect, General Berger has displayed his disdain, indeed, contempt, for the southern Marines who died in those battles, as well as those who have yet to die or be maimed in the wars that he and his fellow generals have lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bergen may not be a bad man, but he is a historically ignorant one. At a time when the Democrats, the academy, and the media are tearing this republic apart, Bergen and other ahistorical fools, in and out of uniform, are knowingly trying to rip open the sectional wound caused by the civil war. Why? Simply because one or another permanently adolescent individual might claim to be offended by the ANV battle flag. General Berger must be an obtuse and very little man.

In God’s name, Mr. President, tell your political and military aides to stop stringing along you and your countrymen on the issue of Afghanistan.

We seem to be in the midst of another “peace campaign” in Afghanistan. American are being told that U.S. forces and the Taliban are going to forego fighting for a week, and, if that bit of trickery works, peace talks will move on, perhaps for a two-week or month-long ceasefire. This procedure, Sir, could go on forever, but none of it is either honest or necessary.

The Talban long ago defeated U.S.-NATO forces. The Afghan military – on which the national government has spent enough money to fund a large domestic infrastructure program – will melt away when Western forces are gone and Afghan military personnel hurry back to their tribes and clans to help them to prepare for an inevitable civil war.

If anyone tells you, Sir, that Afghans are loyal to their national government, you can call him a liar to his face. Loyalty and unity in support of the Afghan state exists only when the country is attacked, invaded, and occupied, and, even then, both are fragile and often broken for periods of time.

When an occupation ends, this loyalty to the nation-state and Afghan unity end with it. Tribe and clan loyalty quickly regain complete domination over the Afghan political system. Loyalty to each is topped only by faith in Allah. Elections, women’s rights, Western-style rule of law, democracy, etc. are enemies of the Afghan system and its traditions and history, and any promises made to implement such things after foreign forces depart are not worth a tinkers’ damn (NB: Trusting such promises would be even more stupid than the British trusting the Chinese communists to keep hands off Hong Kong for 50 years.)

Mr. President, the foregoing facts have been available to U.S. presidents, politicians, generals, diplomats, businessmen, reporters, and academics since at least 2001. I know that because I publicly delivered the facts in a book called Through Our Enemies Eyes, and another called Imperial Hubris. This surely sounds boastful, and for that I apologize. But the truth is, Sir, those books contain nothing but commonsense informed by a knowledge of history, that of the Afghans and of our own.

The hard truth, Sir, is that U.S. involvement in Afghanistan has been an arrogant, uninformed 20-year bungle that has caused thousands of deaths, maimings, and suicides among U.S. military personnel, and has enriched U.S. companies involved in arms-making and reconstruction activities. It also has allowed crooked Afghans and Americans to steal untold billions that were designated for military and civilian operations in Afghanistan.

The worst crime of all, of course, is that neither the younger Bush nor Obama, their cabinet members, or the Congress ever intended to win the Afghan war. Neither did any of the generals who you, without any convincing proof, praise so profusely as brilliant and invincible. The main thing you hear from these generals is “there is no military solution” to the Afghan problem. The only other thing you hear from these louts – at least the retired ones who fear their corporate gravy train will be derailed – are damning words directed at you.

Since the first day of the Afghan war, Mr. President, two presidents and their generals have worked a con on the American people and their soldier-children with benefits accruing only to themselves, their corporate pals, and the makers of prosthetic devices.

Mr. President, it is time to get out of Afghanistan; indeed, far past time. The reality is that you were handed a stinking, dead pig and there is no way resuscitate it or even to dress up the corpse. The Taliban is likely to make any deal you want, and make any promises you demand, but they never will fulfill them. If the Taliban chiefs tried to do so, they would be cut down by Afghan opponents who demand the return of the same status quo ante the Taliban intends to restore.

This leaves no easy task for you, Sir, but the nature of America’s interest in Afghanistan is clear – there is none, except to get out. You are all alone on this one, Sir, as you are on many others, so you ought to treat it as just another day in hell.

Mr. President, now is the time to follow your America First instincts. The republic’s survival, Constitution, and liberties were never at risk in Afghanistan; whatever U.S. forces were fighting for in Afghanistan, it was not any those items. A thoroughly murderous, short-term (15-18 month) punitive expedition was all the U.S. ever needed to execute; indeed, it is the only kind of military operation that has ever succeeded in Afghanistan.

So, with respect, Mr. President, get after it. Order all of our people home, and stop the enormous flow of wasted taxpayer dollars that is going daily to the myriad crooks now operating in Afghanistan and among the U.S. companies that supply our forces and civil reconstruction there. You are a great promise fulfiller, Sir, and this promise needs fulfilling by Independence Day

One more thing. When you end the Afghan bungle, you will be charged with opening Afghanistan to occupation of China and/or Russia. When these accusations fly, Sir, simply acknowledge that Beijing and/or Moscow are welcome to it. There is no better place to find our enemies than where they will be floundering, thigh-deep, in the bloody, treasury-draining, and unwinnable Afghan quagmire.

In Richmond, Virginia’s Democrat-controlled bicameral legislature is trying to pass legislation that will deny the state’s citizenry the guarantees enshrined in the 2^nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and in Virginia’s constitution as well. If the legislation is passed, no Virginian will be able to defend himself or herself against either still-armed criminals or Northam’s tyranny, which will go full tilt if weapons are confiscated.

It is easy for Virginians who insist on the maintenance of their 2^nd Amendment rights to identify Governor Northam, the Senate, and the Assembly as the entities responsible for the tyranny being built in Virginia. This conclusion is correct, but it is incomplete. The lethal enemies of the Virginia and U.S. constitutions now running the state government and legislature are the implementers not only of their own plans, but of plans that are championed by each and every Virginian who voted to put the Democrats in power.

The men and women now in control of Virginia’s government clearly plan to make their unconstitutional intentions into Virginia’s new laws. But Northam and his fellow Democratic gangsters are a merely a tyrannical nuisance, and could be eliminated with a bit of well-aimed, hard work. For that reason, the millions of Virginia who did not vote for the Democrats must face a much harder and more dangerous reality; namely, that the people who gave Northam and his party majority power are not simply voters, they are both enemies of those they view as deplorables — the phrase used by the Mother of Hate — and the true source and fuel of the Northam regime’s hatred for Virginians who oppose the regime’s lawless intentions.

These Democratic voters are well-educated, financially secure, extraordinarily arrogant, and hardcore haters; they are armed with highly violent and utterly destructive intent. They support not only extinguishing the 2^nd Amendment, but also the abolition of the 1^st Amendment and other guarantees of liberty located in the U.S. and Virginia constitutions. These people are not just opposition voters. They do not just disagree with their fellow citizens, they hate them. They are engines of hate and are empowering tyranny in Virginia. They are, indeed, the stuff from which civil wars must result if the Constitution and liberty are to be preserved in the Old Dominion.

What do Northam supporters’ think, and what more are they after? Clearly part of the answer to the question is the end of the 2^nd Amendment within the boundaries of Virginia. But that is only the starting point. The first step in understanding what Northam and his supporters hate — beyond the right of Virginians to own arms to resist tyranny and defend themselves, their kin, and their property — is to list just a few of the reasons why Northam, his tyrant-lieutenants, and those who reliably vote for them are afraid of and hate those who vote against them. Seizing weapons would temporarily negate a large part of their fear, and their resulting Dutch courage and seething hatred will take them crusading against Virginians – especially white and black working class Virginians — who:

–Work with their hands for an hourly wage – often at two jobs – to raise a family, keep a home, and uncomplainingly get by from check-to-to check. The targeted Virginians have been for decades the men and women who have had the “privilege’ of paying for the food, clothing, and housing of people who will not work; for health care for illegal aliens and the fight against the crime they bring; for the filling of Swiss bank accounts held by U.S. foreign aid given to overseas tyrants; for rebuilding foreign infrastructure while their own crumbles; and for seeing their children excluded from Virginia colleges to make room for foreign students, and the Democrats’ wide array of legally preferred, protected, increasingly deviant, and usually less intelligent students.

–Home-school children, which generally betters any form of public education and has no mandatory classroom show-and-tell visits from LBGTQ recruiters, anti-American speakers, feminists, or socialists.

–Oppose the unlimited admission of illegal aliens into the United States, the costs they impose on U.S. taxpayers, and the Democrats’ operations to plant these illiterate and often violent and/or diseased aliens in states – including Virginia – to act as enslaved-by-the-dole voters to keep the party in power forever.

–Fiercely oppose abortion and infanticide, which surely means that Northam’s barbarous regime would kill, without a second thought, those of any age who oppose them on the issue – so long as their targets are completely unarmed.

–Shop at Giant, Walmart, Dollar Store, Sam’s Club, and B.J.’s, instead of letting themselves be robbed by the extortionate prices of Whole Foods — and other such upscale stores — for the sake of appearing well-to-do and oh-so-much better human beings than the working man and woman.

–Regularly attend the services of Christian pastors, preachers, and priests who oppose abortion; believe the Bible means what it says and is eternally relevant; arrange charity activities because they know it is the proper role of citizens and their churches, not the state; and are not ready to identify all forms of sexual depravity as another form of normal that must be respected and, indeed, inculcated into the minds of children.

–Respect the republic, stand and sing the anthem when the flag is raised, and salute and assist our service personnel; oppose the governing elite’s unnecessary interventionist wars; maintain an abiding and praiseworthy distrust of government power and oppose its expansion; and share none of the Northam-ites and their national party’s passion to forcibly remake the people of Virginia, those across the republic, and those abroad in their own anti-American, anti-religion, and anti-family image.

–Act to the greatest extent possible as self-reliant adults in conducting their lives and caring for their own; seek no help from any level of government because it means increased external interference in their personal affairs: and have a healthy disdain, perhaps an unavoidable contempt, for the governing elitists who claim they should direct the personal affairs of other Americans, as in Obama Care, the Great Society, coming programs to make working men and women pay for the student loans of other parents’ children, and other national government attempts to enslave Americans of all races and creeds.

–Love and work to help improve their local communities, small towns, and the South generally, and readily defy any and all who seek to tell them how to behave and think, as well as how to remember, defend, and honor their ancestors, the history they made, and the traditions they passed onto posterity. The importance of this attitude in preserving localism has made them  – and the statues of C.S.A heroes and the General Lee’s battle flag that, in Virginia, testify to that legacy – the prime targets for the current Virginia regime’s acts of cultural and historical devastation.

–Damn and dismiss as liars the agent provocateurs of the deranged, billionaires-backed Global Warming advocates , as well as the false science and altered historical data on which it is based. They know that for 30 years these deceitful scientists and their crazed supporters and media shills (a) have been entirely wrong about every one of their major predictions that describe climate catastrophes that should have taken place 10-15 years ago, and that (b) the climate-frauds’ real goal is to destroy the American working class and their personal economies, geographic mobility, culture, ability to save, language, traditions, history and local affections and loyalties, and to reduce them to being the unarmed, indentured servants of an authoritarian world government that has the monopoly on force.

Hate-fueled attacks by Northam, his regime, and the Democrat voters on Virginians who hold the just-noted beliefs are either partially underway, in the que, or being prepared. They all hinge, however, on a successful Northam-regime campaign that forcibly disarms law-abiding Virginians so the authoritarians can pour their hate on Virginians without earning the much-merited rebuff of having their heads shot off.

The ball of civil war is in the court of the Northam regime. Its hate machine in the state’s assembly has passed a bill legalizing gun confiscation, and that bill is now under consideration in the state senate. The truth of this matter is that only Northam, his regime, and their voters can start a civil war in Virginia. Those they have chosen for enemies will not shoot first.

If the Senate passes the bill and Northam signs it, the only remaining question is when Northam will order his police to seize weapons and fire the first shots at law-abiding, 2^nd Amendment-protected Virginians. Does Northam want to create hell in Virginia over this issue? If so, he will have it in spades. As the saying goes, Molon Labe.

The President’s State of the Union Speech was not what I wanted, though the summation of his administration’s successes was compelling. He took the high-road and – being much smarter than I am — let Americans see for themselves exactly what the Democrats are made of; namely, hate for Trump and his family, unending greed, a fanatic lust for power, deep fear of having their monstrous crimes unveiled, and an even greater hatred for any American who thinks and votes in a manner that questions what the Democrats believe is their right to impoverish and slowly enslave the citizenry and have them like it.

Touching memories of the speech for me will the promotion of a 100-year-old Tuskegee pilot to Brigadier General, while his young grandson stood alongside him, and the young lady who was born far prematurely and is now a happy and healthy girl. The Democrats sat on their fat, white-robed asses and were dozing off while the new general was honored, and they would have joyfully called in Virginia’s Governor Northam to cut the throat of the prematurely born baby. The Klan-like, white robed female Democratic House members would have been arranged as a choir in back of the jolly murderer Northam as he performed infanticide. They would have been singing “Happy Days are Here Again”, as Democrats are never happier than when killing the unborn or just-born.

The icing on the cake, of course, was Speaker Pelosi. On a half dozen or more occasions, Pelosi tried and failed to control the punk-like behavior and shouts of the female Democrats in the audience. Then, as the speech ended, Pelosi tore up her official copy of the president’s speech, which amounted to her sending a vehement “FUCK YOU!”, but it was not meant for Trump. Pelosi sent her message to Americans of all political persuasions, race, and gender who support Trump; honor the nation’s Founders and those who risked their lives, at home and abroad, to protect and preserve the citizenry; appreciate full employment, lower taxes, rising blue-collar wages, and a military strong enough that no regime with half a brain would pick a fight with us; and, it must be said, a rare president, who has promised much and delivered more than he promised.

The Democrats also proved the compete insanity of Pelosi’s mind. Recall that after the 2018 mid-term elections Pelosi crowed about the record number of Democratic women that were elected. She claimed that they would massively improve the future accomplishments of the Democratic Party. The women she praised were the same women who attended the State of the Union dressed as Klan members; who never once applauded those the current administration has helped to escape poverty, get back to work, and begin to cultivate, for the first time since 1945, some bit of affection for the national government. I have long been all but bereft of this emotion, one which Washington, Hamilton, Adams, Patrick Henry, George Mason, and many other Founders considered indispensable to the republic’s survival. Trump has started a governing process that seems to be rekindling some of that affection, though its success, I think, is still a long shot.

As for Pelosi and the women in the Democrat’s House and Senate caucuses, it must be apparent to all that the republic would be getting a great bargain if all of them could be traded for a few dump trucks full of steaming, fresh-from-the stables horseshit with which to fertilize the grounds of the capital. Indeed, those women may be able to evaluate and grade that manure as they are clearly and indisputably specialists at producing their own brand of ant-American, socialist horseshit.

That said, I still want blood, and want it soon, and it may well be that blood began to flow yesterday. President Trump fired the traitorous Vindman brothers from the NSC, which must be the first step toward disciplinary action against the entire chain of officers at the Pentagon who were involved in sending them to the NSC and then kept them there long after their disloyalty was common knowledge. (NB: Are Senators Grassley and Johnson seeking the Vindman boys’ financial records to see which Democrats and foreigners were funding their openly disloyal words and behavior? Okay, first the Bidens, but do not forget to legally target the Vindmans and those officers who sponsored and protected them at the Pentagon.)

Trump also fired Ambassador Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the EU. Well done, Mr. President. But what about the other diplomats and officials who eagerly supported Adam Schiff’s hoax? Why not immediately can that slithering snake Yovanovitch, as well as her co-conspirators William Taylor, George Kent, Jennifer Williams, David Hale, Fiona Hill, Catherine Croft, Laura Cooper, etc. Sack them all, Sir, and press charges on them if it is legally possible. Knowingly participating in an attempt to overthrow a legitimate U.S. government must be some kind of illegal activity. There is no harm or wrong, Sir, in attacking coup perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law. The State Department, after all, has been a cesspool of cronyism, anti-Americanism, sexually deviancy, spies, and socialism for many decades. Sir, it is far past time to clean house – perhaps mucking out the stables is a better way of putting it – at State and if Secretary Pompeo will not do it, find someone who will. (NB: Nearly two decades ago Speaker Gingrich wrote an essay called “Rogue State Department”. It was an excellent and insightful peace then; it is even more so now. The Speaker’s essay can be found at Foreign Policy, No. 137 (July-August, 2003), pp. 42-48.)

Finally, Mr. President, you must move hard and soon against the CIA, against John Brennan and all who are known to have supported his treasonous plans and actions. That much-needed cleansing must also ferret out and then remove those CIA officers who are suspected of helping to arrange, manage, and execute Brennan’s coup. I am a former senior CIA officer, Sir, and it angers me deeply to have to write these words. I loved the Agency, Mr. President. I was proud to work there and, more especially, extraordinarily proud of the people I was privileged to work with for 22 years. The current CIA Director is one of the officers I worked with, and she, almost single-handedly, helped CIA’s bin Laden unit destroy an al-Qaeda organization in Eurasia. I have always admired her greatly for her brains, personal courage, and for never, in my experience, flinching from truth and duty.

But the CIA, Mr. President, has been badly and knowingly damaged by Obama, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Joe Biden, James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and John Brennan, each of whom seem to have ordered the CIA to use its human and electronic assets to overthrow your campaign and, then, your administration. They also ordered the CIA to enlist foreign intelligence services from Britain, Italy, Germany, Australia, Israel, and others yet to be discovered to assist the coup. The Obama-sycophant and communist John Brennan enthusiastically followed these orders and wreaked a still on-going havoc on the republic and its citizens, Constitution, laws, traditions, and sense of decency and fair-play.

It may well be, Sir, that many heads must roll at CIA. The substantial number of the most senior FBI officers who already have been fired is a sure sign that it is nothing more than a much-repeated and tiresome lie to claim that 99.5 percent of the FBI is as pure as the driven snow. Anyone who has worked in Washington knows that high-command of the FBI – and the high-commands of all other agencies in the national security establishment – make decisions and issue orders, and it is the rank-and-file that must carry them out. Too often those officers do so even if the orders are known to be illegal and/or counter-productive for the interests of the United States and its citizens.

As much as I regret saying so, Sir, a through-going purge is needed at the CIA. Start at the top, with John Brennan, and at the very bottom, with the lying, Obama-punk whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella. Send the always courageous – even when he is wrong –Senator Paul to do the job and instruct him to lawfully squeeze Brennan and Ciaramella until the pips can be heard squeaking out the names of those CIA officers who need to be cashiered and jailed for participating in the still ongoing coup. Then do the necessary and eliminate the scum from the CIA’s rank and file. (NB: Also, task Senator Paul to squeeze Brennan on his part in the Clinton administration’s resolute refusal to take any action to stop the 9/11 attack. With respect, Sir, I would be able and honored to help out on that issue.)

I suspect, or at least hope, Mr. President, that an effective CIA purge will yield a smaller number of traitors than will the purges at FBI and the State Department. But I resigned in 2004, and so my hope may not be worth much more than a fiddler’s damn.

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
People call say ‘beware doll, you’re bound to fall’
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal

How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?

Ahh princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They’re all drinking, thinking that they’ve got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts and things
But you better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can’t refuse
When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel, ah how does it feel?
To be on your own, with no direction home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?
