The case for Pompeo
Washington Times ^ | 6/28/2024 | Tom Basile

Posted on 06/28/2024 8:38:31 PM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

Mr. Pompeo is keenly aware that today’s Democratic Party is the chosen vessel for a bold strain of Western Marxism that has been rising in America since former President Barack Obama’s time. He knows what’s at stake in this election if the far left continues to march through our institutions, media and corporations.

Graduating first in his class at West Point, Mr. Pompeo has lived the U.S. Military Academy motto, “Duty, Honor, Country.” He is appalled by the “woke” military. From the sobering intelligence he’s seen, he understands the importance of restoring America’s military capabilities and projecting them smartly to suppress the unchecked influence of China, Russia and Iran.

As a veteran, Mr. Pompeo understands the risks of engagement and is an advocate of an effective deterrence philosophy, leveraging all the power the United States can muster against our adversaries — military, diplomatic and economic. He knows that power can be used to avoid kinetic wars and that we need to adjust our strategy to better guard against today’s asymmetric warfare tactics.

As a former business executive, Mr. Pompeo can speak from experience about how best to expand the economy. He has run a business, taken risks and met a payroll. For a nation facing inflation, mounting debt and a statist if not openly socialist political left, Mr. Pompeo can articulate a new Trump business plan to reinvigorate and sustain economic growth.

As a three-term member of Congress, he had a 96% rating from the American Conservative Union. He has had the courage to call Randy Weingarten and the teachers unions a “true threat to our nation.”

As a former CIA director, he saw firsthand the challenges of an intelligence bureaucracy that many Americans openly question for its effectiveness and loyalty to constitutional freedoms.

For me, Mike Pompeo is at the very BOTTOM of the list of potential VP candidates for Trump … down with people like AOC and Hillary Clinton.

The guy’s biography reads like a globalist/MIC political operative out of central casting.

Is this for Trump’s VP or as the Deep State Dem candidate when Biden drops out?

If we've GOT to become a police state, then I like Pompeo. But I'd like to give good, ol' fashioned American FREEDOM a chance first.

Under NO conditions, however, can I tolerate living in the FREAK SHOW the Democrats would have us live under.

“Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Hell no!”

I thought that went, “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…the point is you won’t fool me.”

Not another plug for this old Deep Stater again! Why get right back into the same mess we’ve been plagued with so long?

This is a bs thread. Pompeo would be the right pick for VP.

I haven't had an opportunity to review the Library of Anti-Pompeo or the Assange Total Love List. I suppose Alex Jones and his crew are conduit to find out if Pompeo is the certified devil of all-time or Assange is a saint whose every single activity is in the interests of the United States. Meanwhile I see some criticisms posted here that I don't even care that much about. Although I sympathize with Russia most, I'm not sure one has to be Hassan-i Sabbah his very self to back Ukraine.

The Black Sea has a LOT to do with The Russia blowing apart the Ucrazian front lines with FAB-3000s.

The Russian Black Sea Navy is doing well lately?

If he threatened to murder Julian Assange, then he's a criminal (and subject to arrest).

You're hilarious.

Tell your zElensky that the war is in the Russian federation oblasts of Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Luhansk.

Not in the Black Sea.

I thought they were drafting him to replace Biden. He does nothing to enhance a Trump ticket. He’s a deep state plant.

The sub-headline in the article is “He should be Trump’s next vice president.”

Not as hilarious as you.

What is your evidence that Putin "neutralized much of NATO's weaponry"?

The fact that he's still trying to win after 2 years?

Did Putin convert his entire Black Sea fleet into submarines, or did Ukraine do it for him?

I get it.

You're taking over for maxiclown while he's on a mini-vacay from posting obnoxious Western Media articles by Isabel van Poutin.
