Matt Whittaker quote:
“I’m proud to have played on Iowa Hawkeye teams that helped define the program and helped set the foundation for what Iowa football is today,” he said. “And I’m very proud of my three kids. As far as what the future holds for me, that’s an ongoing process. I’ve been working on assessing my strengths and seeing what God’s plan for my life is. I think I have a lot to offer and I think my best days are still ahead of me.”
More Whittaker:
His top concern is the country’s $17 trillion debt. The balanced budget amendment he supports would only stop overspending, not get rid of the debt. So he also suggests a planned series of small, annual cuts across departments so the debt can be reduced.
“The federal debt is the greatest threat facing our country right now,” he said.
Whitaker believes the National Security Agency is violating the Fourth Amendment by electronically spying on Americans.
“I’m just not willing to trade our liberty for security,” he said.
I’m a long-time Freeper, but didn’t know about the Q ghetto until I found this thread.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The FReeQ thread is one of the hidden treasures of the Internet.
I do not think of it as a "ghetto", but as (ironically) the Free-thinking Zone of Free Republic.
Q is clearly an alternate communications channel deliberately established by the Trump team--analogous to his Tweets as a means of direct communications. I feel a bit sorry for our FReeper colleagues who blind themselves to this essential information.
Unlike any form of "Regular news" (FAKE or otherwise) the Q channel is heavily focused on long-term plans and strategies of the Trump team. Since they are neither omnipotent nor omniscient (despite apparent MI or NSA capabilities), these plans do not always play out as anticipated, and that seems to disturb some FReepers.
I think the famous quote of Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke applies here: No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force. ... No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
Another factor of which some appear unaware is that POTUS is not trying to win battles, but to win a war.
Recent American wars have shown, unfortunately, it is possible to win every battle and yet lose the war.
