Englandistan in the making👇SMDH at all the laudatory praise of Colin Powell today. Please allow me to offer a dissenting opinion. If I have learned anything in the last decade or more (accelerated bigly during the Trump years), it is to look at everything through a political prism since all national-level decision-making is politically motivated. And Gen. Powell is a prime example of a "political general." I laugh now when people recall that he was once considered a "conservative" and touted as a possible Republican presidential candidate. This was a guy who endorsed Obama and the execrable Hillary Clinton (she of the UNCLAS email server who damaged national security through her SAP and other classified email giveaways). Yeah, he was a "conservative" all right. And how might history have been changed if he had made the right call about "Iraqi WMD" before the UN in 2003 (or had resigned in protest)?



A good pal of mine (retired SES) offered this today in a separate email:



He rose through the ranks quickly at a time when we didn’t have very many top black officers-becoming somewhat of a “political officer” early on. I think Gen Chappie was the first 4 star in the USAF and that happened in 74 or 75 during a time when we had the first big racial push in the services post Vietnam. Many don’t think of Powell and My Lai, but at one point he was accused of participating in somewhat of the initial white wash despite Calley being ultimately held responsible. He played a leading role in defusing some of the race riots that occurred in the Army at a number of big bases-like Fort Bragg and Fort Hood in the 70s. He was in the White House on and off in the 80s and 90s. I briefed him a number of times when he made his third star after he took over Vth Corps in Germany-before he was whisked away after only a year or so to join the WH as Carlucci’s Dep Nat Sec Advisor-later serving as Reagan’s NSA while still in the Army--back when it was routine to have military experts on the NSA staff advising about the Sovs and China….He later commanded FORSCOM briefly, but he may be the only 4 star Army General who never commanded a division-pretty unusual…His politics have changed markedly over the years, and he will forever be known for the stain of justifying the Iraq invasion over dubious intel in an action that he seemed to intuitively know was going to end badly given the dynamics.



It was funny to hear him touted as a “conservative” and apolitical over the years because of his service-when he was the very definition of a political officer. Most of us in the military had a natural aversion to HRC that he seemed to have a blind spot on…



RIP…



As eloquent a summary as will ever be found on the man, and yes, RIP. I agree to that.

Muhammad was the fifth most popular name for male British babies in 2020, the UK’s Office for National Statistics revealed today.

Mohammed and Mohammad were also among the 100 most popular baby boy names in the UK.

Two other Muslim names — Ibrahim and Yusuf — made it into the top 100 for 2020.

Powell’s Life Made the World Worse. The world is a better, safer place without Colin Powell in it.

For those of you on FB, there was an event at the Dekalb GOP today. Here is the FB link. I am waiting to see if there will be a Rumble link.
It featured Jeff Zink from Az, he was the floor manager of the audit. He outlines some of the issues they saw with the ballots that we havent heard yet. I assume they will be in Jovans report. Also an update from Garland on the cases and YG Nyghtstorm.
It was put together by Stan Fitzgerald who found the Fieldworks connection between AZ and GA.

Hollywood’s domestic terrorist myth. I played Randy Weaver along with Laura Dern and Kirstine Dunst. Weavers were not domestic terrorists and neither were the January 6th protestors. People who have guns and want to protect civil liberties are not domestic terrorists! https://t.co/4HkLQQ0hhg

Young firefighter Dillon Lindberg chose freedom over his career. His parting request: "Vax or no vax, let us come together and rethink firing thousands of brave men and women." 🇺🇸

How ironic I wasn’t able to share this from where I saw it. I’ll prove that in the next screen shot.
