The Governors’ Next Move

by
Ron DeSantis

Texas Governor Abbott bused hundreds of illegal aliens to “Sanctuary” cities. Free State of Florida Governor DeSantis upped the ante flying 50 illegal aliens to the elite Liberal paradise and Sanctuary city of Martha’s Vineyard. The all-welcoming, inclusive, diversity-worshipping hypocrites called out the National Guard and deported the poor Venezuelans to a military base. All Republican Governors should consider their next move against the Illegal Alien invasion.

When Will YOU Go to Jail?

by

When Will You Go to Jail? The FBI recently made 50 searches of former Trump Administration officials. The FBI is fishing, most likely, for anything that can be glued together for a conspiracy charge concerning the “January 6th” election process or mob.

The most comprehensive way to destroy an economy is, simply, to act counter to commonsense and every historical precedent for all of recorded history.

My personal perspective on West Point, obviously, is mine alone.  It’s aged over 50 years since graduation and informed by 65 years of reading history as well as over 2 decades working as an Army “Futurist.”  I believe West Point should focus on creating the cadre of the “military priesthood” of the U.S. Army.  I know such a shift would get mixed results, but 50 years from now Americans would know the Long Gray Line is about winning America’s wars above all else.
