The Drudge Report, the deep-state’s electronic bulletin board, promoted an NYT column it ran under General Stanley McChrystal’s name: “Why Kamala Harris Has Won Me Over.”
"Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament and, importantly, the values...."
Please excuse me while I retch in my pocket - and not "retch"ing in the way my high school buddy Kenny meant when looking for his pocket knife.
An ex-marine told me yesterday that the U.S. has over a thousand generals. McChrystal is one of them. My first move as King would be to reduce that number to 25. Make that 10.
Do the same thing to the other federal bureaucracies, while you're at it. The Secretaries, the Assistant Secretaries, the Deputy Assistant Secretaries, Assistants to the Deputy Assistant Secretaries, and so on. Better and cleaner yet, abolish most of the agencies, most of which have no Constitutionally authorized purpose; it could be very entertaining, watching how the inmates scramble to find an honest way to make a living.
Of course if Trump wins his image will be further tarnished, if the bimbo wins he will be further lauded. Gee… wonder why his conscious picked the bimbo?
“ I’ve concluded that it isn’t political slogans or cultural tribalism; it is the best president my vote might help select. So I have cast my vote for character, and that vote is for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
So he votes for the Cackler on the basis of her character. Perhaps the general is unaware of Kamala’s other name, ‘Heels Up Harris.’ It seems that the general’s TDS has destroyed his ability to make any rational decisions.
Morals have nothing to do with McChystal's endorsement. Most retired generals, especially four star generals, join the military-industrial complex as board members or high level officers of corporations. Trump is on the other team, so he has to be opposed at every turn. Just look at what they did to Trump during his first term in office.
I truly hope that none of his granddaughters is ever raped or murdered by any of the foreign filth crawling across our southern border - under Biden AND Harris's "leadership".
And I hope none of them emulate Kamala's "character" and prostitute themselves to gain power and influence.
The power is out here in my part of coastal South Carolina. We had some lawn furniture blown around and tornado warnings, but I got my coffee brewed before we lost power so all is well for us. I have memories of Hurricane Hugo and remember that EBS was one of the first things to go down. But the important thing is that I am able to read this Substack as the sun comes up.
Love gas. The pipeline was supposed to go through my county - with a tap for us - but when Alleged President Joe Stolen was installed, of course he nixed it to please the Greenies. Hopefully after January 20 I can get that new gas cooktop I've been saving for and coveting. Life will be good; you might say that I'll be cooking with gas.
Yes! North Georgia backyard is flooded, rain keeps coming down, my trees and shrubs are loving it! No power issues, schools are closed, temps in the low 70's, the Quiet is wonderful. I hope everyone is safe and faring well through this one! Will this event dampen the Global Warming/Global Cooling Fairy Tale?
We are in the Chattanooga area and our situation is similar. My rain gauge was full this morning and the pond behind us a full again after three months of drought. Hopefully, the winds will die down in the next few hours, but so far Helene has been oversold, at least in our area.
Y'all notice we have a lot very liberal characters come out of the military? Didn't McChrystal cop to dropping acid to get perspective or whatever? That guy in Austin that gave us the rah rah about making his bed every morning? A Navy admiral that's a man wearing a dress fronting as our surgeon general. It seems a military background and experience ain't exactly the shining star it used to be.
I believe our Military is ruined, and must be rebuilt, re-strung, and replaced, from the very beginning to the last person in uniform. Nothing is normal.
Thanks for wrecking my belief that a general is a leader whose rank defines pride in our armed forces. Back in the 1950s, when I served two years in the army, stars on one's shoulders meant leadership, and with it confidence in our armed forces. WTF happened? When did all that was good turn into zoo parade? For heaven sakes, Webster defines the word rank this way: "as in stinking foul." The Dems have given us the choice (they depict it as an opportunity) of voting for a rank human being for president. Check please. I'm outta here.
Any member of the Joint Chiefs that doesn’t disavow McChrystal should be canned by end of Trump’s first week back from Sabbatical. (Too much to do the first day- firing the FBI will take at least all morning)
The second week should include cleansing the Augean Stables our military academies have become.
All Jan 6ers (beside the most egregious knuckleheads) should be freed by end of 1st week. That’ll give the BOP (my old landlords, the Bureau of Prisons [God bless ‘em, every one]) time to freshen them up for the fed plants from Jan 6.
Steve Boggs, Keep Dreaming! This sounds like the perfect plan to me! ...and Much More.... my hope is that President Trump will blast them day and night to keep them spinning in shock and awe. this is his chance to be the Master of All. I hope he is ready for all that must be handled immediately. My prayers are that GOD gives him the POWER he needs to show and do what must be done.
Always assumed McChrystal was full of himself but walked the talk. Later realized that any Field Grade officer after B. Hussein took power was irrevocably corrupted by politics. Stanley was roasted on X by GWOT vets who seemed to think…poorly of his leadership. As a fan of the late, great Col. David Hackworth I always err on the side of abiding by the perspectives of NCOs and company grade officers over brass. Looks like McChrystal stuck around too long at the cost of his reputation. I’m sure his soul was left behind long ago.
"Obama's Military Coup Purges 197 Officers In Five Years" We can now look back and see the actual "DEI damage" to our military. Nose rings and pink hair will not cut it on the battlefield.
Two decades training Afghanistan’s military and it folded faster than Kenny Rogers could sing “The Gambler”. Afghanistan’s occupation and “development” outed the military industrial complex as the frauds they are.
Maybe his buddie Gen BetrayUs will weigh in next? Like most of our recent retired and disgraced General Officers that got their hidden miss-deeds or ChiCom payoffs exposed to the public when they became disposable to the DC Blob, did he every marry that gal he was dating on the side?
The Dems must really be worried that Kaballah can't win this thing if they're trying to prop up her failing campaign with deep staters like McChrystal...
I don't want to disparage our military in general nor anyone who has served, but as a student of history, it is not hard to find other examples of generals suddenly coming to the belief that they stand aloof from the chain of command. The prime example of this is George B. McClellan, who was the Army of the Potomac's commanding general for the early part of the War Between the States, until President Lincoln sacked him for incompetence and insubordination. McClellan, like McChrystal came to believe he knew better what the country needed both militarily as well as politically. He was vocal in his private criticism of Lincoln and he did not hesitate to publicly show his disrespect for his C-in-C. After he failed to pursue Lee's Army of Northern Virginia following the "victory" at Antietam (a pyrrhic one, for sure, setting a terrible record for the most casualties ever in battle) Lincoln relieved him of command. McClellan resigned from the army shortly thereafter and pursued his political ambitions, becoming the democrat party candidate for president in 1864. (Even then, democrats were the party of anti-Americanism!) After he lost, he sulked in Europe for a bit, eventually returning and being elected governor of New Jersey. (New Jersey's democrat proclivities are hardly a modern phenomenon!) When one views McClellan's official portraits, one cannot help but form an impression of a vainglorious specimen, so typical of the upper echelons of our military (Marines being the notable exception). I suppose it is hard to remain anchored in reality when everyone is compelled to salute you and obey your orders in the course of your daily routine. When such a person suddenly faces opposition, they naturally tend to believe it is wrong and misguided and that their own opinion is always superior. In the case of McChrystal, his egotism was so highly developed that he was capable of disrespecting both Obama and Trump, thereby proving that it had and has nothing to do with politics, patriotism or global strategery, and everything to do with narcissistic self-promotion over patriotism. McChrystal is a bum. Perhaps he should run for governor of New Jersey.
You may not believe in what your Commanding Officer wants to do but you do not disparage him, ever. You follow orders. The number of incidents involving a ball-bearing fondling, strawberry ice cream fanatic being in charge or rare. And Trump ain't that guy.
What is it with all these ‘McGenerals’? McClellan, McCrystal? Then there was MacArthur who made President Truman prickly. He was right about one thing though, “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” In the above cases I say, good. When MacArthur said this (I think before Congress) he generated public sympathy based in his past glory. I thought it was boo-hoo pitiful. They always seem to have enough bruised ego left to believe they can rescue their stained reputations. It just doesn’t work that way as McCrystal will FAFO.
McChrystal is a widget in the military industrial complex Eisenhour warned us about. We won't need all the generals we have - especially him - if war occurs very infrequently.
War Queen - could not be a better moniker for that one. I can't call her a woman; quite often she looks like a man, the huge hands, the NECK, and shoulders.... sorry, but Obama started this....
"Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament and, importantly, the values...."

Objection: assumes facts not in evidence
I'll go a step further. He is either out of his mind insane or is taking mind altering drugs rendering him unfit for duty.
"Cackle, cackle, cackle!"
Don't stop her now, we still need the eggs. (old farm joke)
Ha! 👍

They can learn to code.
... and don't forget the chief assistants to the Assistant Chief.

Thanks, but I couldn't qualify.
Hey, is he the one who invented McChrystal Meth?

HE IS THE FEMALE BIMBO. TWO OF A KIND. NO CONSCIENCE.
She said it pays to advertise.
And court martial a few
ok, 2.

Maybe Kamala got down on her knees for McCrystal…
Are they suddenly, all on a Suicide Run??? My prayers are being answered.

The man is delusional.
Exactly what I was thinking.
AMEN. His Brain Function is way below par. No synapses snapping right now. He must be on something "for his nerves".

I’m here also… been out since about 2 AM. But I have gas so was able to make coffee!!
Your priorities are in the right place.
Sorry you have no power, but isn't GAS wonderful??? Stay safe, and enjoy your Coffee!
Love gas. The pipeline was supposed to go through my county - with a tap for us - but when Alleged President Joe Stolen was installed, of course he nixed it to please the Greenies. Hopefully after January 20 I can get that new gas cooktop I've been saving for and coveting. Life will be good; you might say that I'll be cooking with gas.
Nooooo! Joe Biden says gas stoves are dangerous!!!!
Yes! North Georgia backyard is flooded, rain keeps coming down, my trees and shrubs are loving it! No power issues, schools are closed, temps in the low 70's, the Quiet is wonderful.

I just checked radar and cannot believe how quickly that storm roared north overnight.
Coffee and Surber in the morning, two of life’s essentials. I’m glad you are all faring well and able to enjoy both this morning!
the thing I remember about Hugo is the price of plywood spiked severely in Texas
In a blatant plea for sympathy, I want all of you to know that due to the power failure my electric recliner will not recline.

Maybe he has indulged in the Diddy “freak off” orgies!
this was the obvious objective and inevitable result of slick willy's worse-than-demonic "don't ask" policy.
It's cray-cray for sure.

I intuit that Bannon is preparing to-do lists from his cell.

Well, the pink hair will make it easier for the enemy snipers to see. Natural selection.

McCrystal’s endorsement of the Democratic ticket necessitates an endorsement of Tim Wirtz. That is shameful.

When McChrystal says it's not tribal? It's tribal.
Yeah, good rule of thumb these days is whatever a rabid Dem says the exact opposite is where you will find the truth.
McChrystal is a widget in the military industrial complex Eisenhour warned us about. We won't need all the generals we have - especially him - if war occurs very infrequently.
And THAT may be the #1 reason he's endorsing the War Queen.
War Queen - could not be a better moniker for that one. I can't call her a woman; quite often she looks like a man, the huge hands, the NECK, and shoulders.... sorry, but Obama started this....
Obama looks like a woman.
The neck has always been odd to me.
General malaise.
Ha!
