Is this a flashback? Didn’t another president send the military to Somalia and it didn’t turn out well?

(Then again, I always thought the Somali Pirates would be a better baseball team than the Pittsburgh Pirates.)

If you join the military now, you are a solider for the globalist cartel and nothing more.

Stephen Gardner updates his community on the US economy, stock market today, president Biden $10 billion stimulus grants for affordable housing. The baby formula crisis continues to worsen. The white house tried to cobble together a website over the weekend but it flopped and could have led people to buying formula before families in an attempt to sell it at a premium online. Biden sending troops back to Somalia via executive order. India offered to feed the world with the coming wheat crisis, however, today they announced they will keep their feet for their own country. The upcoming election will be of mass importance for the US. Stephen Gardner updates his community on new polling data. Biden wants a new stimulus program that gives away $10 billion in housing grants to combat high housing costs. However, Wall street continues to buy real estate at an alarming rate. Elon musk still plans to buy twitter and the congress will start discussing UFO’s tomorrow.

"...that Power always Sincerely, conscientiously, de tres bon Foi, believes itself Right. Power always thinks it has a great Soul, and vast Views, beyond the Comprehension of the Weak; and that it is doing God Service, when it is violating all his Laws. Our Passions, Ambition, Avarice, Love, Resentment &c possess so much metaphysical Subtilty and so much overpowering Eloquence, that they insinuate themselves into the Understanding and the Conscience and convert both to their Party. And I may be deceived as much as any of them, when I Say, that Power must never be trusted without a Check.

-- John Adams, February 2, 1816 letter to Thomas Jefferson

Checks on power has been severly watered down since the start of the Progressive movement in the late 19th century whith this:

You are closer than you think.

Biden needs a military ‘victory’ to bleach the stain of the Afghanistan pullout.

His handlers think they can pull of a quick ‘victory’ in Somalia and make BIDEN’S POLL NUMBERS GO UP.

PUTIN THOUGHT SO TOO...............

It’s Far Beyond, "The Military Industrial Complex" that President Eisenhower warned us about.

Our special forces would be better used on the Mexican Cartels and human smugglers in Mexico.

Just use our SpecOps in Mexico and put bounties on the Mexican Drug Cartels and Human Smugglers in Mexico.

Use our drones to take out those, who control the cartels.
