Despite protestations of principle from former Secretary of Defense James Mattis – “Chaos,” “Mad Dog,” and “Warrior Monk” -- you knew it was coming. Mattis resigned in February of 2019 over a policy dispute with President Trump, who was determined to end U.S. involvement in Syria’s endless civil war. At the time, Mattis piously intoned that he would not be criticizing a sitting president. He maintained that stance for over a year -- perhaps a deep state record in the Age of Trump Derangement.
When Mattis’s ritual denunciation of the sitting president finally came, it appeared in the reliably left-wing Atlantic -- the clearest signal of all as to where Mattis’s sympathies had always resided. The stunning thing about it was what a ridiculous potpourri of clichés it presented.
Three points need to be addressed -- and not according to Mattis’s own order of treatment, which is a little shaky, anyhow.
First, Mattis excoriates Trump for failing to unify Americans. Is he serious? Even before Trump took office, the Resistance to his presidency was being organized. It included many government officials and even many who intended to stay on as spies in the Trump White House. Trump’s inauguration was besieged by mobs of leftists in pussy hats, including womenfolk attached to FBI Director James Comey. A spurious probe into Russian interference was already underway, and would shortly be formalized with the demented figurehead Robert Mueller as its official representative. General Mike Flynn would shortly be forced out of office and prosecuted. The salacious Steele dossier would be promoted as a source of truths. Later on, one of Trump’s supremely qualified Supreme Court nominees would be targeted with absurd allegations of high school sexual aggression.

“””But who is he? What is he well known for?”””
John Dowd was Trump’s Chief Defense Lawyer during the DEMOCRAT/SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST/LEFTIST/ANTIFA/BIG STATE Impeachment Trial in the Senate.
Don’t beat yourself up. I had forgotten who Dowd was as well.
My brother and brother-in-law were Marines. Perhaps the deep state has something embarrassing on both Mattis and Kelly. I’d love to see them standing while all the ensignias and medals are ripped off their uniforms.
Drunk Dog Mattis shames himself.
Even a junkyard dog has more common sense than this swamp fool.
Of all the shit that’s come down the pike this week, it’s the treasonous Generals that push me over the edge near to apoplectic rage.
Good grief, what pompous tools and useful idiots.
Thanks for that, I hadn’t seen the full letter before.
Never really heard of mattis until he became SecDef. All I can say now is that he must have cinched his chin strap too tight. It cut off oxygen to the brain.
GEN macaffrey, Army, is another one. A real tough guy. Some klinton girlie staffer chewed him out for wearing his uniform in the white house. He’s been a dog shit breath, leftist suck up, ever since.
The widespread loss of moral clarity in the wake of rioting following the death of George Floyd is truly frightening, especially from those who really should know better.
Many people still want to compare the situation the black community have today with the slavery of the past.
To liken the situation of black people today with that which existed under slavery can only be explained by willful blindness or sheer ignorance.
Most people know, under slavery black people were afforded few rights and their every “transgression” – even the most minute one – was, as a rule, severely punished.
Fast forward to today and we see African American youths – alongside with youths of other races – who are making off with handfuls of products from the shops and boutiques they’ve just plundered. We can be sure that the vast majority of them will never be punished for their acts of pilfering and destruction.
And lest we forget. It was less than four years ago that America had a black man as its president. Under slavery, a black person was not even allowed to share the same premises with white people. In 2008, on the other hand, the American people sent a black man to reside in the White House — TWICE.
He we have Black Governors, Senators,Congressmen, Mayors, etc today.
Does this look to you like the actions of a populace that still harbors a slavery mindset?
And how do you explain the many black people who have achieved great success – both in terms of general admiration and earnings – in America in recent decades. The names are too many to list, so we just mention a few here to remind ourselves: Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Prince, Whitney Huston, etc.
The tremendous success of these black Americans would not have been possible without the love and adulation of countless whites who enthusiastically spent billions of dollars for the privilege of enjoying the skill and genius of these black individuals either through purchasing the content they produced, watching them perform or buying the products they endorsed.
To honor the looting, rioting, arson with the name of “protests” is a moral travesty. Contrary to what many commentators and observers claim, those carrying out this senseless violence have nothing to do with the tradition of civil disobedience that has been used in the past to advance the cause of civil rights. The perpetrators of these acts are nothing more than lawbreakers who need to be stopped and penalized for their deeds.
Sadly, the decades of civil rights demagoguery have eviscerated the moral resolve of many of our leaders to the point that they are afraid to take appropriate action even as these delinquents are destroying the very fabric of our civil society.
Well said.
He may have found a horse’s head in his bunk. To go along with the ‘horse’s ass’ that was trying to sleep there.

The vermin are being flushed out where they can be seen for what they actually are. They will be eradicated.

Mad Dog is just mad about getting the boot

Bad Dog was highly pissed because he thought when he was appointed Defense Secretary the President was going to answer to him instead of the reverse. Predictably, that dream didn’t come true. Now we’re learning that he was and is another Deep Stater implicated in the Theranos business scandal, described by the Securities and Exchange Commission as an “elaborate, years-long fraud”. Mattis served on the Theranos BOD during some of the years it was engaging in fraudulent activities.
Yes, the plot thickens. Maybe by attacking Trump he is saying back off with the probe or I’ll make life hell. Offense is the best defense.
He proved to be real crummy, when calling "Trump" a dummy, and acted like his chummy, the RINO Colin Powell.
Together they are known, as Generals who just groan, because they lost their throne, and now just bitch and howl.
I sure like your way with words.
Thank you!
