Yesterday I posted a fantastic ad released by RFK, Jr., “Finish the Job”. A couple of second audio clip of JFK and Ike is heard in the ad. I have always been impressed by these two Cold War heroes looking past their differences to protect America.

I wonder what the call between Heels and the dementia patient strategizing our security sounds like today?

We now know that JFK did remove our missiles in Turkey—in secret.

I wonder if he briefed Eisenhower on that one after he did it.

Can’t imagine a conversation like this today.

JFK was a disaster on foreign and domestic policy and his election killed us, America would have survived if Eisenhower’s veep, Lieutenant Commander Nixon and war hero General Lodge who had helped persuade Eisenhower to run had won in 1960.

Eisenhower gave the Russians Berlin, eastern Europe and then later....Cuba.

Thanks Ike.

He could have finished off the Germans in the Falaise Pocket IF he'd been aggressive enough. Or IF he'd let Patton's drive be priority over Montgomery.

In hindsight Ike was not a great strategist.

Why "General"? Why not "President"? I would have corrected JFK if I were Ike.

I'd have said: "John, you may call me Ike, or you may damn well call me Mr. President!"

My opinion of Ike just sank quite a bit after finishing “Blacklisted By History” by M. Stanton Evans. Ike went after Joe McCarthy because Joe was pointing out the continued protection of communists in HIS administration. McCarthy would not have been censured without his support. We wonder how we’ve gotten to the point where communism & communists are so advanced in this country. Ike played a part & not a good one.

Now play the phone call between General ‘Thoroughly Modern’ Milley and his ChiCom counterpart assuring the Chinese that he, Milley, will give them a heads-up if the Orange Man planned on nuking China.

I was in the 5th grade in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba when this occurred. It got very interesting after that.

That was back when the difference between rep and dim was pretty small. Both understood they represent all the people and not just the party faithful.
