Got Colin Powell’s email? Just read he said it was a good deal. I would be explicit in my anger but I’m training to recognize when being tempted to express my disgust, disdain, and explosive temper so I’ll just go take a couple of aspirin and pray for our military, active and inactive because for them it is a war against their faith, hope, and trust.
Semper Fi, y’all.
The VA should be disbanded and disassembled first along with their unions. Vets should be able to get the best private care at a discount. That way, if a vet really needs help, he will get it, whereas the frauds (a normal percentile probably) will be filtered out. If hospitals have donators then those who wish can donate specifically for veteran care at the private hospitals. Look at how well children’s hospitals do privately.
How about an across the board shuttering of 50%-75% of the needless federal agencies the Constitution doesn't mandate can even exist? What about an immediate increase in Active Duty End Troop Strengths by a minimum of 25% for all branches and more if required. I doubt several running for POTUS even knows what the term means. What about an immediate overhaul of the VA Medical system and contracting better treatment immediately via of a system of choose your own private practice doctor and treatment facility actually near you? What about an immediate 15% pay increase for all troops?
What about a return to a sensible first enlistment contract of no more than 3/3 or 4/2 which worked well for the nation? One exception being programs such as Nuclear Propulsion Program where the military invest nearly two years in training reactor operators and technicians to maintain them. That one should be a an 8 year obligation. Otherwise no young recruit of 18 or 19 needs to be obligated for 8 years that is insane. What about full time regional mandatory examination boards set up of vets and medical experts to process the several year backlog of service related disability claims in a matter of weeks not years?
One more and it was a biggie when I was in. Anyone washing out of Nuke school unless the result of deliberate misconduct or fraud should be relieved of their six year active duty obligation and reverted back to 4/2 years active formula.
Funny six months ago nobody liked him around here. Now he’s walking on water.
People are sheep.
The deal forever links the DNC’s political future to the behavior of a Theocracy.
Every IED that goes off, every attack by Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qeda ; can forever be blamed on the DNC’s helping to rebuild Iran’s economy.
They trust the nation’s security and future of their party to a theocracy that throws gays off of roofs.
The DNC will be fine.
Those who dont know the names of the Black Panther leaders and BLM leaders are ill equipped to talk about them!
LOL
I'm not looking for a perfect choice but I am looking for one who has no fear of the hierarchy in either party and has stood against them On Record even when so called Conservatives here were booing him for a filibuster that shut down the government. Him, being Cruz I trust far more than Trump.
Trump politically in the past and today is all over the place A Dem one time a GOP the next money here support there etc.. Hillary can talk and say what you want to hear as well. Bill Clinton did that very thing and defeated Liberal anti-Reagan GHW Bush as well as Liberal Bob Dole Says.
The media, the networks, all could end Trumps campaign in a matter of a week. I'd say they are waiting for a time to inflict the most damage upon Conservatives and in such making sure an insider RINO or DEM wins the White House yet again.
The Trump worship isn't any different than 2000 in here when Cult Bush showed up and DEMANDED unquestioned loyalty to him or else.
It's still early and this is anyones primary to win. But I believe Conservatives are about to be played big time.
...but you get a blanket and a never ending supply of spam mail.

Oh yeah there IS that but you can bet those cheap blankets were donated by the manufacturer, to WWP and even paid shipping, handling and distribution costs so it doesn’t cost WWP a cent.
First of all I, for one, liked him from the beginning. And I distinctly recall some others who did right from the time he declared his candidacy.
As for people being ‘sheep’, Donald Trump *the politician* was an unknown, and all anybody heard or read was negative about him, his intentions, and he cannot be trusted. It was constant bombardment on him. A lot of pejoratives used in conjunction with his name.
How about that ‘debate’? Megyn Kelly sure did an objective job of ‘journalism’, eh? The whole fox team was more interested in taking Trump down early in the game than giving their viewers relevant information on the candidates.
So naturally the ones who weren’t too sure held their support back with a wait and see attitude. Over time more and more came to the realization that Trump would make a pretty good President, his intentions are honorable, and nobody owns him. Hence the steady rise in the polls.
The vast majority of people who frequent FR are anything but sheep. They are largely independent thinkers who form opinions based on facts and evidence, and not what the media or someone else in the Internet says.
Old men threaten each other, and young men die.
Makes way more sense if it was the other way around...
(and trust me, I am old. gettin older...)
Trump did not grant him amnesty; in fact, he is taking heat for being opposed to amnesty. Do you really believe that Trump would grant ANY of these murderers amnesty, whatever their freaking names are?
