The REMFs thumb their noses at the entire nation. They are only good at one function.... taking care of REMFs.

Are these the same people who recommended the Biden domestic enemy occupation give the Medal of Freedom to mega-dyke Megan Rapinoe because she kneeled during the national anthem?

Wonder if he’s somehow related to ex-New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer...the prostitution king.

Misuse of word “poisoned”, which means something that kills no matter how tiny the dose.

“...Capt. Erik Spitzer, formerly the commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam...”

A captain?

I’d have thought that an officer commanding that kind of installation would have been more higher ranking than a Captain.

WTH is wrong with people nowadays. No decency, no morals, total degeneracy, everybody out for themselves. A demonic spirit has descended upon the USA. Let us pray that the overturn of Roe will bring God’s mercy upon us.

Captain is a high rank!

That’s just below admiral.

Same rank as Colonel in the Army.

“A captain?”
How does any adult not know that a Navy Captain rank is not the name equivalent to the same rank in the other services?

Maybe at one time but now it’s only a punch on the ol’ ticket.

Argumentum ad verecundiam. Dictionaries and legal definitions do not always intersect, and both are subject to change. The difference between poison and toxin is what I was referring to, specifically; they are not synonymous particularly in a scientific/medical context.

All I see is repeats of “believed to be” from the contaminated water. Is there any actual proof that he knew better and lied? Was the commander told by a usually reliable source that it was safe? Is the commander qualified to test and approve the water?

(A demonic spirit has descended upon the USA.)

Correct. And the West is exporting decadence with its culture.

Meanwhile, the winds of world war are blowing.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

King James Version

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
