#politics #unitedstates Geoff Duncan who served as Georgia's lieutenant governor from 2019-2023 and a former professional baseball player, in this CNN Op-Ed makes a strong case for Nikki Haley’s nomination, despite her South Carolina loss. Duncan, however, is hopeful about the Grand Old Party (GOP) breaking its Donald Trump fever by 2028, even if Haley does not win in 2024, assuming Joe Biden The White House wins reelection. Trump is 2028 would be 81 and Duncan is assuming he would go away into the twilight. The trouble with the United States which the racist Hillary Clinton campaign and Donald Trump wrought on the country beginning 2008 is Barack Obama’s birther controversy. Obama, despite being a Nobel peace prize winner #nobelprize and unlike the reconciliatory leadership of his fellow black Nobel peace laureates Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela, did not let the sleeping dogs lie nor seek reconciliation. He shot back after he left office with Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the patent revisionist historical falsehood of the 1619 Project and we are where we are because of Chapter 1 Republicans and Democrats in Obama’s 2007 book The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream https://a.co/d/i2CrmrF. The boomers beginning with First in His Class: A Biography Of Bill Clinton by David Maraniss(2016-05-03) https://a.co/d/3nVaVd9 comeback kid Bill Clinton in 1992 from Hope, Arkansas and the man seriously confused with his identity Obama in 2008 with his audacity of hope have ruined American life for all by 2024, punctuated by the Iraq mess of George W. Bush with his obdurate establishmentarian swagger, leaving an American future of no hope. Trump may go away into the twilight but the Obamamania v. Trumpism of woke v. anti-woke, which are raking in money for the irresponsible corporate news and social media, will not because United States is gripped by demographic anxiety of the majority white population becoming minority by 2045, with the current minorities constantly squabbling with each other, and the nation’s wealth trickling up to the traditional White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) male establishment at San Francisco’s ultra secretive Bohemian Grove #federalreserve which is America’s Military Industrial Complex (MIC) at the expense of all else. Welcome to America Made Great Again. To learn how a very small minority, less than 10% of today’s 1.5 billion population of India, can set civilizational mores for all of humanity, the Bohemians ought to look to Asian-Indian Brahmins, who have never in the history of civilization been wealthy or seldom bore weapons. Then we can all make America and the world great, for it was never great. I will personally then initiate the Bohemians into the Brahminism they have always longed for from the British Monarchy to America’s.

Underestimating Reagan, even post mortem. When you start great things you’re per definition on your own. After you achieve success little people who never started anything on their own begin to evaluate your success. In the end Reagan began to wane but arguing that he created an alternate reality is poppycock dreamt up by little minds. Convenient wishful thinking. What’s an alternate reality is taking from some to give to others and then calling it an “opportunity economy.” Reagan knew like no other that private industry creates value and government takes. Yes, by all means, let’s demean those who support a free, capitalist market system, tax all incentive away and then drive the economy into a ditch. What a terrific version of reality!

Almost all presidents of the United States have been most deferential to the founding leader who could have acted as a ruler had he chosen to. What was the familiar system of government in the earliest days was the all powerful king of England: a law of one. General Washington earned esteem in leading the armies and great praise as president. All after him but FDR limited themselves to just two terms: and FDR was needed to keep the allies together through the continuing WWII. I believed the 45th president had a chance to break ground in the Washington beaurocraocy with his 2016 win as he campaigned on that. I was thusly hopeful. The record however has many unbelievable errors in judgement including the placing of personal interest ahead of national public service and intrusions into the other two branches of government -- independent branches! By the middle of his term I found myself including 45 on the list of types of presidents George Washington feared. For me it's our free society and business friendly system that allowed citizen Donald Trump to turn a large inheritance into a fortune while looking his nose down on the military guarantors of his lifetime of freedom. That is completely his right. Have we failed to inspire our best to state and national public service? We seem to lack candidates who we truly admire in this era. I'm not asking for Jack Kennedy. I'm expecting those asking for my vote not to accept the shoving aside of longtime Senate Majority Leader Mitch, not to accept the intimidation of our military through 45's hand picked Joint Chiefs Cabinet member's humiliation and firings for unjust cause and not to have accepted the toppling of the GOP. That shouldn't be too much. Admiral Ron Scott SOCOM, JCS GHW Bush White House - Trump was more than willing to turn the American military against its own people. In 2020, for instance, he wanted the military to attack protesters near the White House. “Beat the fuck out of them,” the president told the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. “Just shoot them.” Both Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper (a former military officer himself) talked their boss out of opening fire on American citizens. [From the November 2023 issue: How Mark Milley held the line] Senior officers during Trump’s term chose loyalty to the Constitution over loyalty to Donald Trump and remained true to Washington’s legacy. Such principles baffle Trump—all principles seem to baffle Trump, and he especially does not understand patriotism or self-sacrifice. He is, after all, the commander in chief who stood in Arlington National Cemetery, looked around at the honored dead in one of the country’s most sacred places, and said: “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” - Read "Donald Trump Is the Tyrant George Washington Feared" on SmartNews: https://lnkd.in/ePD8kPCX

Harris Promise: Win Victory This November In a powerful and carefully considered decision, Kamala Harris, the sitting Vice President and Democratic candidate for the upcoming November presidential election, officially announced her choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate and future Vice President. Harris's announcement marks a pivotal moment in her campaign, which has consistently emphasized a forward-looking vision for America. In her statement, Harris highlighted the stark contrast between the two competing visions for the nation's future. "This election has always been about two very different visions for our nation: one that is focused on the future and one that is focused almost entirely on the past," Harris declared. She underscored her confidence in Walz as a "reliable partner" in their collective fight to protect fundamental freedoms and fulfill the enduring promise of America. With this announcement, Harris invites her supporters to rally behind the Harris-Walz ticket, recognizing the critical importance of this election in shaping the country's direction. She calls on her supporters to show their commitment by making a donation, emphasizing the urgency of this critical moment in the campaign. As Harris and Walz prepare to take on their opponents in what promises to be a fiercely contested election, their partnership symbolizes a strong, unified front dedicated to securing a better, more inclusive future for all Americans. https://lnkd.in/eQS9W5_H #TimWalz #2024Election #VoteBig #DemocraticTicket #Election2024 #VoterTurnout #VoteForChange #maga #democrats #republicans #USA #breakingnews #whitehouse #newspaper #trump #harris #jdvance #presidentialelection #November

Lifting up my relative General John Fulton Reynolds on this Memorial Day (along with the connection between the Civil War and civil rights). A respected senior commander in the Union Army, Reynolds was key in committing the Army to the Battle of Gettysburg (where he unfortunately died). Resistant to the politics of Washington, D.C., Reynolds previously declined President Abraham Lincoln’s request that he command the Army of the Potomac (the penchant to buck bureaucracy remains strong in his family). Today, you can see him standing resolutely in places throughout Pennsylvania (including in front of Philadelphia’s City Hall). Many think that the Civil War was a long ago moment in time - separate and apart from who we are today. Columbia University Professor Barbara Fields corrects this misguided notion: “I think what we need to remember, most of all, is that the Civil War is not over until we, today, have done our part in fighting it, as well as understanding what happened when the Civil War generation fought it. William Faulkner said once that history is not “was,” it’s “is,” and what we need to remember about the Civil War is that the Civil War “is,” in the present, as well as the past. The generation that fought the war, the generation that argued over the definition of the war, the generation that had to pay the price in blood, that had to pay the price in blasted hopes and a lost future also established a standard that will not mean anything until we finish the work. You can say there’s no such thing as slavery anymore, we’re all citizens. But if we’re all citizens, then we have a task to do to make sure that that, too, is not a joke. If some citizens live in houses and others live on the street, the Civil War is still going on. It’s still to be fought, and regrettably, it can still be lost.” #CivilWar #civilrights #historylives #justice #Pennsylvania
