The Hour is Getting Late
TomKlingenstein ^ | 12/19/23 | Tom Klingenstein

We need a wartime President, someone to rally around. A war without a commander-in-chief is no war at all. There is a Lincoln or Churchill among us, there always is. But he must stand up. This is not the time for polling or focus groups.

It’s the time for someone to lead. Someone with the courage to stand alone, someone of honorable ambition, who will call the woke charge that we are racist; what it is, rubbish. Someone who believes that America’s traditional culture is exceptional and is committed to keeping it that way. Someone who will recall the great successes of our past and renew our belief that we are capable of still more.

They will make us see that we are in a fight between freedom and slavery. A fight, as Lincoln told us, that is worth the last full measure of devotion. And this leader will be confident that the god that has never forsaken his almost chosen people will not do so now.

There are two others also who use FR to pimp their blogs here. Annoying.

We won’t be winning any wars anywhere until we win the war for America on on own soil.

Wartime POTUS, you bet, but not a foreign war instigator or fool who involves us all over the planet.

Yeah, we have such a guy, his name is Donald Trump. Funny thing about him, though, he doesn’t want to be a wartime President, he wants to avoid wars altogether, if possible. Overall, that’s better than a wartime President. However, if the current potato head gets us into a war, or leaves us in a position of not being able to avoid one, I am confident that Trump will end it with a victory, and end it ASAP.

Our military's run by the sexual weirdo community... They 'fight' for countries that bought off corrupt democrat politicians - like Biden and his family. Would you like to die or have your legs blown off to 'protect' the wealthy, sleazy whoring lifestyle of Hunter Biden and his 'beach homes' family?

Ever wonder why we're really in Ukraine? Of give so much to China?

It's NOT because Ukraine's a democracy - because they're NOT. Ukraine's a totalitarian corrupt state - top to bottom. One of the most corrupt in the world.

Ever wonder why Biden left some of our Best and most advanced weapons in Afghanistan for the Chinese to reverse engineer? A little planning and all those weapons could have been destroyed. It would have been easy.

Ever wonder why the bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the New York Times and Washington Post didn't' ask THOSE hard questions? Or why the Pentagon didn't either?

Or why the 'press' didn't notice how many 'public servants' went from middle class to multimillionaires within four years of being elected or hired in DC?

It's not because press bimbos and the sexual weirdo men are all stupid. That's a hint.
