Mattis Was No Good
American Thinker ^ | 12/21/18 | David Archibald

Posted on 12/21/2018 7:45:21 AM PST by chiller

American Thinker readers were warned about General Mattis over a year ago in this article. Briefly, Mattis was and remains a supporter of global warming.

The issue of global warming continues to be a reliable and simple litmus test. If someone believes in global warming, then you can be sure he is a globalist who loathes Western civilization. (SNIP)

Since that article, Mattis's charge sheet has expanded somewhat. Trump wanted to get trannies out of the military simply because of the costs involved in having them. Mattis pushed back and slow-walked the order. Gender dysphoria is one of the worst mental illnesses, with a 50 percent suicide rate. Who in his right mind would leave people suffering from this condition near weapons or machinery? Someone who ranks ideology above effectiveness and unit cohesion would.

“Trump’s instincts are right on.”

Yup. The carload of generals convinced him to stay, when he wanted to yank them out over a year ago. They said, “Increase our budget, and change the ROE’s, and allow us to do whatever it takes, troop wise, and we’ll get it done!”

They. FAILED. Trump pulled the plug.

Boohoo.

I read last night that they were upset. Just wondering.

I am sure the trannies and gay's are upset.

She has gone increasingly berserk in recent weeks.

I like checking into Brett Bair’s show just to hear the panel-—even A.B. if only for comic release.

But now she’s reduced to spitting and sputtering, literally shaking in indignation. Last night, I noticed, Brett finally cut her off...but I’m thinking, Why would they let her rail on while any conservative who used such invective would be banished post-haste?

I guess the answer is simple: deranged Leftists are always encouraged.

That would be a good choice. The main complaint against him will be he has never run a large organization.

I agree. I just wish that Trump would sell it on that basis - he might even get a few democrats and libertarians to come along. Having been in the military during the Vietnam War, but also very conservative, I can say that is a message a lot will respond with. He must control the narrative though. The hawks have big business interests backing them. Time to think about America first.

Syria isn't the only thing Mattis disagreed with Trump. "Mad Dog" was mad for global warming.

Trump’s Defense Secretary Cites Climate Change as National Security Challenge
March 14, 2017, 11:17 a.m. EDT

Secretary of Defense James Mattis has asserted that climate change is real, and a threat to American interests abroad and the Pentagon’s assets everywhere, a position that appears at odds with the views of the president who appointed him and many in the administration in which he serves.

Mattis has long espoused the position that the armed forces, for a host of reasons, need to cut dependence on fossil fuels and explore renewable energy where it makes sense. He had also, as commander of the U.S. Joint Forces Command in 2010, signed off on the Joint Operating Environment, which lists climate change as one of the security threats the military expected to confront over the next 25 years."

A group of retired senior military officers is urging U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis to remain firm in their support for combating global warming as White House officials consider exiting the Paris climate accord."

Hopefully for the next two years, Trumps cabinet is much more conservative and America First! Will go a long way to help him get re-elected.

FYI - Mattis is on record, going back to (at least) 2010 as being someone who thinks "global warming" is a major concern for the federal government.

A little perspective would go along way toward understanding the Trump Administration and it’s staffing policies.

From my perspective Trump hires people for a specific task/goal...Not giving a lot of credence to their views outside of that goal...In the case of Mattis, Trump wanted a mad dog to take on ISIS and wipe them out...Quick...Mattis was the man for the job...Now, that job is over...And so is Mattis...

Mattis loathes Western civilization? Nonsense.

I doubt he's trying to overthrow Western civilization or establish a global government.

His staff tells him climate change is a factor and he believes them.

Whatever the deal is with ideas of "global climate change", questions of local climate variations - desertification, water routes opening and closing, etc. - are going to be on the Pentagon's mind.

That thought crossed my mind too but I think with everything Gen Flynn has been put through; he's bound to hold some animosity toward our government.

That could be a good thing.

I never put it together like that but it's true of everyone I know who believes in global warming... they're all 'citizens of the world' ....

That thought occurred to me too. Heck; right now, with all the deep state deep swamp stuff, I hold animosity toward our government. I don’t trust it. Leftism is truly a nation killing virus and globalism/deep state/GOPe RINO’s are the problem.
