Greg Laxer On November 3, 2017, at his General Court-Martial at Fort Bragg, NC Army Sergeant Robert ‘Bowe’ Bergdahl was sentenced to reduction to lowest enlisted rank, forfeiture of $10,000 of the back pay he had previously been awarded, and a Dishonorable Discharge. He had opted for trial by a Military Judge (Colonel Jeffery Nance)…
Don Rose Former presidential strategist Steve Bannon shocked both the faithful and nonfaithful by predicting Donald Trump has only a 30 percent chance of completing his first term. This from an ardent supporter, while thousands of ardent opponents are hoping, praying and seeking paths to make Trump a less-than-one-term president. The issues are (1) will…
b. traven What an unforeseen resistance scenario! Millionaire athletes leading the political resistance against Trump. Ret. General John Kelly who was selected as Trump’s Chief of Staff to keep Trump sane and was described by the Washington Post as “not suffering idiots” has one on his hands. If he would get down on a knee…
b. traven When our Commander-In-Chief heard that there was an epic water event happening in Houston Texas he told his model wife, Melania, to dress for the event. They seem to have expected a full naval welcome, stepping out of the plane in their best yacht-club outfits. The Commander sported Navy dress-white-inspired pants, with a…
Stuart Lyle While it may seem trivial, even a little adolescent, I want – to use a phrase that has gone out of favor – to call a spade a spade. Don the Con made a lot of mileage choosing unflattering nicknames for his opponents, ones that had a ring to them that helped them…
b. traven After the events of the last week, with the turmoil in the Trump administration, I began to wonder how Trump supporters were reacting. It would be interesting to know if there is a possibility that a true believer in MAGA (Make America Great Again) was ready to second guess the great, orange leader.…
b. traven The quote is the opening statement from a speech by our ever suffering President to congratulate Coast Guard Academy graduates who will be sent on perilous missions to save others lives at sea. In his suffering to make “America Great Again,” our President apparently does not think that the assassination of Lincoln, McKinley,…
A couple of days ago I ran into an acquaintance who happens to be a millionaire. I was curious about how he felt about our new president. The first word out of his mouth was “fascist.” I was astounded to say the least! I knew that he was ‘liberal,’ but most liberals seem to be…
Don Rose Yes, he frequently rambles incoherently. You may wonder why he gives clearly dangerous executive orders, such as restoring the coal mining industry’s right to dump its wastes into unpolluted rivers and streams. Will that bring back jobs for miners or just lower expenses for owners? But look again at some of Trump’s biggest…
Don Rose They didn’t have to burn down the Reichstag , er, the US Senate Building, to get their way. All they had to do was change the rules and we have the same result: an authoritarian, fascistic government run by a dedicated megalomaniac. There is only one answer to this coup and Don Rose,…
