This is why I believe Trump has a good chance of winning in November. I cannot recall ever having seen something like this in the past. We are not oppressedFrom everything I read and hear, black men are moving toward Trump in big numbers. As I said before, if Trump gets 15 percent of the black vote he wins. If he gets 20% the Democratic Bolshevik Party is wiped out in the election.

Yesterday, The Atlantic and Fox News claimed that Trump insulted and belittled soldiers as suckers and losers. Both Fox and The Atlantic claimed "anonymous" sources for their stories. Immediately, numerous people who have been around Trump a long time and who were with Trump on the trip to Europe during which these "comments" were to have been made denounced the reports as false. Personally, I have little doubt that Trump did not say such things or anything close to them. For anyone with a memory, Trump has done more for the military than anyone president since Reagan. And I am inclined to think that he has done more than even Reagan did. I say this being fully aware that Trump is not a pillar of virtue. But his love of America and our military is quite clear.
The link below is to comment by an ex-Green Beret whose wife was killed by a suicide bomber. His encounter with Trump was moving. Even more moving is the video below the story. That Trump went to those Gold-Star mothers and gave them comfort is wonderful. It was clearly not on his schedule, but he took the time to do it. I really like the shot with the boy by his side. I truly do think the left and Rinos have lost their minds. Their viciousness has clearly driven them to new heights of insanity which makes them do ever more stupid things. To attack Trump on something like this is really dumb. Trump asked me what I thought about the situation in Syria

One of the people clearly refuting the (anonymous, as usual) story, who was on the scene, is John Bolton. He's no Trump fan, and makes it clear that the original version (bad weather made it too risky) is true.

I think the democrats were saving this for the week before the election, when it could not be refuted as easily. It is an indication of how desperate they must be. Their internal polls must be showing a tidalwave brewing for President Trump. This is similar to the drunk driving charge with Bush, but that was intended to be the final push over the top for their guy, an election they almost stole.
This is not the last slander they will promote, but it is the most vile presidential slander since Andy Jackson's wife was called a whore by The NY Times .

Duh!
I am not sure Trump will carry Texas by 9% as he did in 2016, as we have had a lot of foreigners, i.e. Californians and Yankees move here over the last few years, but Texas has not yet gone insane.

Here is another piece which destroys any claim that Trump does not like the military and would belittle soldiers who died in defense of their country.
The left truly is not only loony, it is also either stupid or senile. It is as if they want to lose the election.

Nothing surprising here, except for those Outer Party Demagogues who believe the Inner Party smears of Trump.

I believe I have mentioned this before, but I am convinced the real reason the political class here and around the world is that he is the only thing standing between them and their Globalist dream.
Carlson goes into some clear reasons that the globalist-perpetual-war party that resided in D.C. are so intent on getting rid of Trump.
He doesn't lay out any numbers, but as I have explained to friends overseas, the military-intelligence-finance-diplomatic-industrial complex in the USA has big reasons to hold on to their positions.
These following numbers are approximate, and only partially cover the lucre involved.
US$720 Billion for Defense Department US$ 50 Billion for Intelligence (I suspect it is much more) US$200 Billion in export sales of weapons and other military equipment US$ 40 Billion for State Department
That's over US$1 Trillion, which I consider a huge motivating factor in the continuance of our non-stop wars. I am sure there is much more being spent in this area.

The article lays out how deeply Globalism is embedded in our institutions. After reading this, you will agree with me why the left, right and center of our D.C. uni-party and most of the leaders of the rest of the world hate Trump and constantly try to get rid of him. He is the only man standing in their way.

One of the globalists' weapons is nice-sounding international treaties against "genocide" and other such awful things. Of course, when you look at the details, they don't look so good. Genocide is defined in a very expansive way, far beyond the attempt to exterminate an ethnicity. Similarly, treaties on the rights of women and children include leftist dreams (such as counting abortion as a right) that go far beyond what many of us would support.
Equally important, whereas most countries can ignore these treaties if they want because they have no internal legal status, in America the Constitution gives them equal status with the Constitution and thus makes them enforceable by the courts. Many of the judges making the decisions are leftists looking for opportunities to impose their ideology, which the treaties usually (probably always) facilitate.

A piece in the American Spectator which lays out the clear choice between Trump and the Democratic Bolsheviks and why the Never-Trump Evangelical "leaders" are dishonest or stupid.
There appear to be a couple of left wingnuts who regularly post on such articles and their arguments show just how shallow they are.

Not being a viewer of The View, I had never seen this video. It is further proof that Biden is no longer in full control of his mental faculties. I find it cruel that the Democratic Bolsheviks are pushing this old man for the presidency. Poor Biden

An interesting article about a retired Green Beret, whose wife was killed in action. The man lays out the difference between Trump and the Clinton O'Bushes. Trump lets us fightDuring the invasion of Iraq, I spoke to several military people about the war and they confirmed the "rules of engagement" were ridiculous.

Bill Buckley once had a conversation (perhaps on Firing Line) with his good friend, Vietnam dove Al Lowenstein. The latter noted that Buckley wanted to fight the war and win. It may even be that he wasn't opposed to that. The problem, he said, was that the people Buckley was supporting wanted to fight the war and lose. I think he was actually a bit wrong; neither LBJ nor Nixon wanted to lose the war. But, especially with LBJ, winning was never the goal. He just didn't want it lost on his watch.
When one considers the scale of the war, the loss of lives and treasure, all because LBJ didn't want to have the loss of Vietnam blamed on him, this is another reminder of how utterly vile Lyndon the Bane was. Reading something like this confirmed the wisdom of my 1966 decision not to go meet the Bane when he was going to honor my late father. (At the time, I was most heavily influence by Haley's A Texan Looks at Lyndon.)

My time in country was Sept 70-June71. Most of my day job was debriefing Vietnamese who worked on the Phoenix program, for admission to the US. Most of them were sent to FT Chafee AR. The mood of the American forces was very much one of not desiring to be the last KIA. Drugs were a serious problem and the quality of troops, even Marines, was very low. This was not an army that even two years previously had kicked charlies ass. The Soviets and the CCP did not have to fight Americans to win. Everyone knew we were leaving. The saddest day in the 70s was when the north invaded the south and congress would not spend a dime
It was the same during the BO years. The stupid SOB announced we were leaving and the ROE was so restrictive we could not swat a fly. I give President Trump high marks for ending the endless wars.

Kennedy, Johnson and even Nixon did not want to win the war, they just did not want to appear to lose it.

From the end of WWII until Bush I's Gulf War, it was never American policy to actually win a war. I do not know if this was the result of incompetence, treachery, fear or stupidity. Perhaps a combination of all four.
An example of the fecklessness of some of our leaders is the case of Jane Fonda. I could never understand why she was not indicted for Treason. She certainly gave aid and comfort to North Vietnam. Tokyo Rose (at least one of them) was less treasonous than Hanoi Jane.

The UN (mostly US) forces conquered most of North Korea after Inchon -- and then the Chinese "volunteers" came in and drove them back south of Seoul. I suspect that was the last time we tried to win a full victory. No one wanted a repetition.
Tokyo Rose, or at least Iva Toguri, was indeed less treasonous than Hanoi Jane Fonda. Toguri was in fact an American patriot in a hideous situation. Despite that, she devoted some of her inadequate resources to supplying food to POWs in camps near Tokyo. The Japanese always pressed her to become a Japanese citizen, but she refused every time and chose to remain an enemy alien. Eventually this was recognized, and a veterans' group even gave her an award celebrating her patriotism.

Hanoi Jane Fonda. Ask any Vet from Nam. At the least she should still be in prison.

An interesting, if a bit longish, article which points out the possibility that minority males are moving toward Trump due to the feminization of the Democratic Bolsheviks.
