In any war, patriots are most likely to “support the troops.” And to join themselves, or encourage their children to join. Remember after 9/11? The flags flying. Rallying around the military. Support for the president soaring over 90%. The whole country taking a bead on Osama bin Laden.
If it wasn’t for new Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance making a stink about the disaster, D.C. still would not have taken notice, including the mainstream media. Now, they certainly are, because they know it will be an issue against Biden and other Democrats in the 2024 election.
Nikki Haley promised she wouldn’t run for president against Donald Trump. She lied. She just sent a St. Valentine’s Day card to America: “I love you. XOXOXOXO. Elect me president and I will bomb numerous countries.”
About 95% of any State of the Union Address is fluff and lies. So was Joe Biden’s last night. All the supposed economic progress he touted is belied by the inflation chewing up family budgets. The new infrastructure and other spending is just pork for favored legislators; such things ought to be built by state and local governments.
Hmmm. Where have we seen this before? German panzers rumbling eastward through Ukraine toward Russia. Let me think. Hmmmm.
This is a tough time to be a Democrat. All their “narratives,” as they call them, are falling apart.
Democrats are gloating over the Republican turmoil over picking a House Speaker. The opposite is true. Everyone talks about preserving “democracy.” But this is Democracy in Action.
The worst news was the return of the threat of nuclear annihilation, which had vanished after the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. The new Eve of Destruction arrived courtesy of Joe Biden’s “Armageddon” foreign policy, as he described it.
When I was a kid growing up in a Detroit suburb in the 1960s and 70s, the only time the lights went out was during a severe electrical storm where the tornadoes knocked out the power lines. Snow, even seven feet?
The NY Times is the most pro-war paper in the country. Not only strongly boosting the current Ukraine War, but for the Gulf, Iraq and Afghan Wars. It also backed the Vietnam War in its early days; although by the late 1960s the oligarchs it serves had soured on the war, leading to the Pentagon Papers legal case the Times won…Now the Times is attacking military recruiting.
