Your response to my post sure isn’t the answer. This is no time for exercises in symantics. If you’ve got something positive to contribute, please do. Otherwise, don’t delude yourself into thinking that smacking down other peoples ideas or sentences makes you look smart. It just makes you look petty.

Remember, our military understands the timeless military
Maxim, “Never reinforce Failure!”. It’s drummed into
the officer corp. from the very beginning.

These military leaders WOULD NOT BE ASKING
FOR REINFORCEMENTS IF THEY THOUGHT THEY
WERE LOSING!!!

They want these forces so the odds of winning are better,
they want to reinforce success.

We have seen the great leader ask us to approve LAWS,
before they are even written, laws it takes even
college educated people months to figure out, in
a very short time stating they are so urgent.
Now he is “dithering” on possible success in AFghanistan?
Failure there, puts Americans THERE and HERE in danger!
It encourages our enemies and IS urgent.
Yet, we are left to question weather his motives are
political at best, certainly they are not in the best interests of our polis which includes our citizen/warriors.

We must keep a skeptical eye on the actions of this
administration, it is riddled with communist sympathizers
and fellow travelers, all the way to the highest position.

We even see rumblings of the surrender of our
sovereignty to the UN, an action unthinkable to any true American.

Our sovereignty lies in our people as we are
a government OF the people.
To transfer ANY of it to a foreign entity
is to deprive us of it and put us under the
rule of a foreign sovereign.

Our ancestors were faced with this same situation,
and rebelled rather than submit.
I submit WE can do NO LESS, for to live under a
foreign despot even if a so called democratic one,
is not to be suffered by free men.
This can only lead to war between free men and
such a state.

Well, Pravda says America is moving from the ‘Kingdom of cash to Socialism’. The other countries know full well what’s going on, yet half of our country either don’t understand or don’t care!

Calling all hackers, calling all hackers

Actually, that, after the fact that the exact location of the POTUS - the the square inch - can be tracked thru’ the device, some really nasty enemies can hack and blackmail - which could be devastating to our country

I sent this article to my mother who is a left of center leaning type person, who just happens to be having a health insurance provider problem, and has decided to give up on a lot of things...

This should give her some real hope...

She’ll come around, especially reading something like this...

Good, I'd bet she will. It's a shame many more people don't read Sowell, he gets the point across.

There's a new 9 part series being printed by IBD that will be the entire chapter The Economics of Medical Care from Dr. Sowell's book, "Applied Economics."

I'm going to add keyword sowellmedicalcare to each part as they're posted in threads, only part I has been posted.
