Read later.
Back then, Kavannaugh was important. Remember the ravings of the insane left? The disruptions, threats etc., and yet now he appears to have sided with the SCOTUS re election fraud (maybe they threatened his kids?).
"Z" was a 1969 film directed by the Marxist director Costra-Gavras based on the Lambrakis affair in Greece in the Sixties. In the film, as the Greek military is linked to the murder of Lambrakis, the military reacts by overthrowing the civilian government in a coup d'etat.
In real life, the Lambrakis killing and the coup were not connected, but it was a good dramatic point.
In the film Z, the military reacts by overthrowing the civilian government in a coup d’etat.

So by electing Trump, securing the Senate, and making it possible for Trump to confirm Kavanaugh, we avoided a military coup.
Tom Clancy would be loving this. Are we sure he’s dead?
Later. Thanks

My apologies if this has been posted...this is an excellent episode of the X22 Report. Dave talks about the supreme court cases and Durham. 36 minutes. Listen to it at 1.5 or 1.75 speed. Well worth the time.
Definitely a requirement now. Officers have needed a degree since the sixties. In fact, a bachelors degree or military equivalent is pretty much mandatory for senior NCOs in the Army now. Quite a few E-7 and up I knew had or were working on a four-year degree back in the eighties.
“...officers to get a college degree if they didn’t already have one. Now I believe it IS a requirement...”

While Highly recommended, not a requirement.
Enlisted personnel can go through “OCS” (Officer Candidate School) to be commissioned. However, they won’t go very far without a degree.
While I'm sure this guy is a big Lib he's not obnoxious and his narration is quite interesting. It's an interesting trip through the capital.
The comments are a hoot! Read 'em before they're gone.
Thanks for posting that.
Charlie Ward had been looking at MARCH 4, for some time, as a very Big Day.
But, as deterioration of events (and significant Clock points) continued without redress or even comment, he is now quiet about 4 March.
Observing our Armed Forces remain on stand down, it’s reasonable to wonder what it will take to see some energy expended.
Charlie is no longer hanging on that limb. If at all.
Yeah, I hesitate to buy into any dates at this point. The media is hyping up March 4th with panting and screaming... they are setting the Q theory up for ridicule. Not to say that March 4th wouldn’t have been a significant date and a beautiful thing, but... not counting on it.
Depends on the service, I would guess. I had assignments at the Signal Corps Officer Basic Training company before going to RVN, and at the Artillery Officer Candidate School after I came back. Even then, in the late sixties, an Army officer had no career without a college degree. Sure, you could get a commission without one. Fifty years ago. Infantry platoon leaders were in, shall we say, short supply.
Today, you need a degree to earn promotion to senior non-commissioned ranks. Do they really commission people without one?

I don’t run into media much; who/what is hyping March 4 and how so?
PS - are the prices for Trump Hotel DC rooms still jumping higher in the beginning of March?
Not a slam. Sorry if you took it that way. It’s an aphorism on the comment “Doctors sometimes think they are Gods”

I just got back from a long day at the doctor’s office and as I was driving home I got the joke lol.
No need to apologize, my wit was gone this morning!

“That’s an old joke, with anyone and any situation you want as the punch-line.
Rush actually told a joke like this with a different punchline...”
++++++++++++++++++++++
Thanks for that, stylin. I had to go to the doctor’s this afternoon... all afternoon and on my way home, I got the joke. I don’t know where my wit went.. on vacation in Cancun probably.
