  1. There’s been reports that he actually resigned for a couple days now. And today, poof, those stories were gone. Now this. I wonder what really happened. No matter. The goofs gone.

  2. Brad – my understanding was that he had resigned also. No matter, he’s gone. A deep stater who stated that he would not enforce the insurrection act if it became necessary to invoke. Good bye and good riddance.

  3. Totally O/T, but is anyone else experiencing unusually long wait times for the site to update? I’ve had the site time out a couple of times. Just me, or is something going on?

  4. I’m having issues with all the conservative blogs and even the internet in general. It doesn’t seem to matter if I’m on my phone or home internet. Both have actually been glitching for two days.

    On this firing, I wonder what Trump is planning? As to him resigning, I read something the other day he was asked to resign and said he had his resignation letter ready. I’ve read too much stuff since then to remember where I read it.

  7. A couple of days ago he announced he had compiled a list of acceptable names to rename the Army forts named after racist southern traitors i.e. Hood, Jackson, Bragg. I would have loved seeing DJTs reaction when he heard that.

  8. He’s a Former Special Forces guy. Which means he’s not one of those God Damn politically correct political oscillators. I mean officers. Pretty damn close to the JSOC community. You should know the relevance. This might be big. I’m holding out hope there’s a plan.
