   We are now being fed a line about not recruiting white, christian, Patriot family members into the military. With recruiting being at a low point anyway the military does not have the latitude to be so picky. The problems with overweight and poor test scores is a bigger issue than all the racial and religious stuff that can be brought to the table. 

   As for Patriot family background, if these people coming into the service are of the mind set that they can swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and then participate in an insurrection at the behest of Donald J Trump, then they all need to either stay home or be ready to face a firing squad as traitors.

   The on going crap about WOKE is an excuse to make problems. The principal goes back a long ways in history. For the personal need to keep the faith people built Priest Holes to hide Priest so they could practice their faith. Later people modified their homes to help slaves escape to freedom, poor idea by republican standards, loss of money. The same practice took place in Europe during the war to hide Jews and downed fliers or escapees. Every act of kindness of this nature came with big risks attached.

   That history and those individuals that risked so much are a big part of what we as a nation are today. Take that attitude and turn it on it’s head and you have all the things that encouraged Henry VIII to destroy a religion, make people feel they had every right to hold others in bondage because their skin was dark, or herd people into gas chambers and murder them for being Jewish. 

   Take your MAGA and GAGA on it. Some people travel through life and leave a path of compassion and good, Danny Thomas. Others leave a scorched earth scene from a horror film. At this point in time the GOP seems bent on scorching as much of our world as possible.

    Collude with tyrants, sell pardons, steal and sell national secrets, and claim the right to do so because you are you and everybody’s picking on you. Another example of why certain people should not be allowed to have children.

   Now we have people that are oh so upset because their leader is being prosecuted for all kinds of crimes both against private parties and states and the nation. How do people get so easily sucked into nonsense.  As stated before if you go back and listen to what he has said about most of the topics he is being prosecuted for he is proud of what he has done, would do it again and believes that he can get away with it.
