I have a family member (now retired) who was involved in aircraft maintenance at MCAS Miramar in San Diego, and he has told us firsthand that - after Trump took office - parts and supplies that had be long-delayed under Obama suddenly started arriving, allowing them to finally do critical maintenance work. So now, Colin (The Sacred Cowell) Powell dies, and we are told by all the talking suckups how much he loved America, how much he loved the military, how much he loved our servicemen and women. So why did he endorse a resident (Obama)who did everything he could to diminish our military? Why did he endorse a moron (Biden) who recreated the nightmare of Vietnam with a shameful desertion from Afghanistan? And why did he hate Trump, who started no wars and rebuilt the military after Obama’s destruction? Talk is cheap, and they all SAY they honor our military, but Trump’s actions actually SHOWED his respect. Perhaps on his deathbed, Powell realized that he was just another sold-out swamp creature, protecting the ruling class. Eff him.

You should write the CDC and tell them to immediately stop the PSAs telling people that the vaccinations “keep us safe”.

They need to have lengthy messages explaining that the vaccine will not “protect you” in case of co-morbidities—and then list them!

No doubt the Iranian Revolutionary Guard will fly their severed head trophies at half mast over his passing..

Never forget when we had a chance to crush a big chunk of the IRG, Bush1 called the dogs of war off and Colin complied. 20 years later, hmmmmm...

meanwhile, The Mullahs of Tehran party on.

Colin Powell was a hell of a lot better than the Pentagon commie scum we have now... which is not saying a lot. RIP...

When the Commander in Chief gave a direct order, he was supposed to defy it?

I’m sure General Powell’s doctors were aware.

Tossing in the CDC doesn’t exclude the fact that Powell had a blood cancer that directly and seriously effected White Blood Cells.

The General’s immune system was open to any variety of viruses due to his condition.

Shingles, hepatitis A, viral pneumonia, just to name a few.

That fact that Covid is more prevalent than most viruses right now isn’t a surprise he contracted the virus.

I hear ya. Altho he was a chief advisor and head of the JCOS fwiw, I suspect Scowcroft had the final whisper in Bush1’s ear.

I misspoke also, it was Iraqi forces, not the IRG, they chose to not decimate.

Bogus news. Almost nobody dies from covid. It is just another flu. Powell more likely died from cancer. Now there is a killer disease...cancer. Nobody gets “cured”. They only go into “remission” for a period, and then the cancer comes back.

Cancer happens when body loses ability to recognize abnormal cells and kill them. Unless the cancer is very superficial such as a mole on skin which can be excised thoroughly, cancer keeps coming back.

You should have been banned long ago.
we need the vaccine because Oh NOES.

And now you sing that nobody dies from COVID.

Although in this case, no matter what form of cancer he had, he died of ...
...Colin Cancer.

You wish to ban 220,000,000 Adult Americans who have chosen to get vaxxed? That is more than 3 times bigger than PDJT’s votes in either run!!! For an irrelevant minority, anti-vaxxers are living in a state of delusions of grandeur.

“Here are some facts,” the Australian official wrote. “Nearly 70,000 Texans have tragically died from COVID. There have been zero deaths in the [Northern] Territory. Did you know that? Vaccination is so important here because we have vulnerable communities and the oldest continuous living culture on the planet to protect.

I think cancer zaps you when you’re at a low point, after a major stress event (a period of emotional abuse, child’s illness, etc.) compromises your immune system. The “fighting” cells just aren’t strong enough to tackle the cancer. (Expect that cancer cells are in us more than we know, but the immune system usually is efficient enough.)

Sometimes it comes back; sometimes it doesn’t. I’m always aware that it could revisit me.

You add Fauci Flu to the equation, and it isn’t pretty. The world is a hot mess.

You’re obviously not a native English speaker.

Let’s just start with you and a dozen or so pernicious trolls.
