I know it is still Easter but this is getting to me a bit and I want to write about it now.
Something I posted on X earlier:
Reminder: Bill Clinton left our boys hanging in Somalia.
Obama left them hanging in Libya.
Biden left them hanging in Afghanistan.
There isn’t a foul enough word to describe a CinC who does that.
As of this moment its got 1,000 reposts, 5,000 likes and nearly 31,000 views. That’s in under 5 hours and, keep in mind, I’m a minor account on X. Not an “influencer”! So, I struck a real nerve here. There are Lefties and Never Trumpers commenting – all coming in with stupid lies. So, a second nerve was struck.
The first nerve is that Americans – actual, patriotic Americans – are tired or losing. We’re tired of our boys and girls going into harms way and being hung out to dry…left to die, allowed to be killed…and if they do manage to win, being hauled up on war crimes charges. The worst of the three events I posted was the infamous “black hawk down” incident. Keep in mind that was a carefully planned event by our enemies. They were looking for exactly that – shoot down one of our ‘copters so they could jump up and down on it and drag American bodies through the streets. In the savage mind, that is victory. Our response should have been to inflict punitive damage on the city and people of Mogadishu. Let them know that while they might at times get a lucky shot in, the response by us is so horrific that it isn’t worth it.
Instead, Clinton pulled the plug – not just giving the enemy a propaganda victory, but an actual victory. That is what set the stage for all which followed. Reminder: we had just won the Gulf War in 100 hours of ground combat. The Elder Bush, IMO, wrecked that a bit by not compelling the Iraqi army to unconditionally surrender but there was still no doubt in the global mind: going toe to toe with us just kept graves registration busy. Mogadishu changed all that – it inserted into the global mind the concept that if you kill some Americans and make it difficult, we’ll cut and run. The whole plan that Saddam had in 2003 was to have his forces fade into the crowd and then create a score of Mogadishus until we quit. The Younger Bush was a bit more stern in that he wouldn’t just bug out like Clinton did, but he also went along with the “don’t hit them too hard” concept which had been prevalent in American military thought since Korea. This lead to the morass, the collapse of Bush’s support…and the ushering in of Obama who not only showed he’d cut and run, but he’d actually bend over backwards to help our enemies grow stronger.
Americans aren’t afraid of casualties – we’re just tired of forever wars ending in defeat. We will pay any price and bear any burden…but only if it gets us somewhere. Keep in mind that we won’t always be able to do what we did yesterday – devote massive resources to get one man out. Sometimes the exigencies of combat will prevent us from doing that. But by doing it – and whacking the heck out of the Mullah’s goons in the process – Trump let the world know that you won’t Mogadishu us into running away. That when Trump says we’re fighting to win, then we are, indeed, fighting to win.
And that is the other nerve – the Left and Never Trump nerve. Make no mistake about it, if they believe in any sort of a god, they were praying all day for our man to be killed or – even better – captured. They were hoping for an American defeat. For our humiliation. For one our sons to be paraded around like a trophy – alive or dead. And if alive, tortured until he agreed to make an anti-Trump statement on TV. Don’t get into an idea that they wanted a good outcome for America…they wanted a bad outcome for America. And, sure, a lot of it is animus towards Trump but keep in mind why they really hate him: he’s a brash, American patriot. That is the key to understand TDS…it is actually ADS. America Derangement Syndrome. A lot of people have for so long supped on garbage lies that they really think that America should be defeated. Should be humiliated. They hate my comment because the stark contrast between Trump’s muscular Americanism and the cowardly retreats of their heroes infuriates them. It punctures their bubble. It lets them know that we know they’re the bad guys in all this…and that is something they can’t stand; they want to be the good guys…but they can’t be. Not without repentance and admission of error…something no Lefty or Never Trump will ever do (except in rare instances).
The divide is really between Patriot and Traitor. Not that Trump symbolizes America – you can hate Trump and remain a Patriot – but that what Trump is doing, rebuilding American greatness, is something all Patriots support, even if they take exception to the methods Trump uses. The Left and Never Trump don’t just hate Trump, they hate America. They want an America hollowed out, drug addicted, flooded with illegals and at the beck and call of a Global Elite which is increasingly enthralled to Chinese Communists and Islamists. They want us depressed, impoverished, weak and frightened. They believe the world is a better place when America is degraded…and they hate Trump for trying to restore American greatness because they hate American greatness.
We are winning a decisive victory over the Mullahs – their regime will soon be no more. The Gulf States, faced with Mullah insanity, are finally lining up with us. For all the money we give to Israel, it is a pittance compared to what we give to NATO, and in Israel we have brothers and sisters in arms who are every bit as good as America’s warriors. The world is learning the lesson forgotten…the lesson of World War Two: we’re not just a Great Power, we’re the only true Great Power. As long as we are patriotic and lead by Patriots, we can’t be defeated. Ever. By Anyone. We will leave the Traitors on the ash heap of history. We will Make America Great Again…and the world peaceful and prosperous as we do it.
Blogs For Victory 
Watching some youtube debates between sane individuals and leftist, it’s astonishing and sad how utterly inept some of these “adults” are. Their cluelessness becomes all the more obvious when asked simple questions for which they have no answer. How many stars are on the American flag? What is the closest star to earth. If a dozen eggs cost $3 how much does each egg cost? When was the war of 1812? These are the same people pushing to lower the voting age to16. Besides showing proof of citizenship perhaps we should also mandate a competency test.
I think it is even more depressing to read social media meltdowns over the SAFE Act. I wonder if the bizarre misconceptions are fed to these morons or if they just leap to their wild and insane conclusions. One of the biggest seems to be the conviction that this will mean people have to physically produce their birth certificates to register, and/or vote. Another is that the name on the voter registration has to be the same as that on the birth certificate, though these are mixed in with whines about how hard and expensive it would be to come up with proofs of legal name changes.
A couple of years ago I wanted to change my official residence from Colorado to Wyoming, and I had let my Colorado license expire. After a house fire a few years ago I had no documentation, so I had to apply for a new birth certificate and marriage license copy. I had my Social Security card. I had not renewed my passport so I couldn’t use it. Was it kind of a pain? Yes, but not complicated, not crippling, not expensive, not life-disrupting. If I had kept up with my passport renewal it would have been negligible. And I ended up with my documentation all in the same name (Colorado had screwed up my middle name and I was finally able to get that fixed) and I have a REAL ID with a star on it. Over and done. The documents are now filed, and all is good. I survived what is portrayed by so many (mostly women) as a nearly unsurmountable ordeal, a challenge that cannot be endured much less justified.
My end take on this is that if these people can effectively be removed from the voter registration rolls because they are too stupid or lazy to prove their eligibility to register or vote, the IQ of the voting population will go up by several points.
I looked up the document requirements to comment, after seeing several whines along the lines of “I don’t see why I can’t just use my passport”, and wonder if it would be worth it to do a mass mailing to all registered voters with the actual text of what will be accepted as proof of citizenship to get the ID, and an explanation that once this is done the ID is all that will be necessary.
