Oftentimes it takes contemplating how Black folks lives have been defined for us throughout all times by people who were not Black. This truth cannot be denied no more than I can change the color of my skin nor allow myself to be categorized and lessened. Therefore, I must take this journey of discovery as all my valiant and resilient ancestors have sojourned in a world where false judgments were presented as the standard of righteousness. Righteousness added to humility with the grace of God may be the answer.
VOLUME VIII: ‘And an Haughty Spirit Before a Fall’
As expected, Pete Hegseth and the Republican demi-god, small ‘g’, Donald J. Trump, turns on a sailor in distress. Never mind the lack of leadership in the Pentagon in Pete Hegseth. I’ve said it before. Pete Hegseth does not have one (1) friend in uniform in all branches of the American military. Let’s take a walk down memory lane with the ‘Legacy Media’ stride for stride behind propping up our DEI hire Donald J. Trump and his merry band of incompetent idiots.
Didn’t Iran eliminate the one ‘refueling’ and ‘resupply’ port in the Middle East? Can someone tell me what that port is? Bahrain? Are you sure? The answer to the question is the Jebel Ali Port in the United Arab Emirates. No. Don’t be mad at the ‘Legacy Media’ of ABC, NBC, CBS, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST and several other magazines and newspapers because they didn’t tell you the truth. They never do. ‘A lie of omission is still a lie’!
The Jebel Ali Port in the United Arab Emirates would resupply the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. What is the reason that it did not? And there’s the question which also doubles as your answer. Donald J. Trump and his laundry company commander Pete Hegseth blew up those relationships even before they blew up ‘strategically worthless targets’ on a daily basis in Iran. Now for all that ‘disdain’ for law and respect of allies. All the bravado in bizzarro world ‘arrogance’ that didn’t intimidate not even an Iranian crippled grandmother that gets around in a wheelchair. We get to keep our buffoonish ‘circus clown’ president and his ‘background cast’ Defense Secretary in a cheap B movie Pete Hegseth.
Do you know ‘how’ to help somebody that has an obvious need or an invisible need? Okay, I’ll tell you. I mean help when help is ‘now’! Right in the moment. Not when you achieve some financial stability. Not when you get that promotion and are able finally to defend the team members ridiculed for their contribution. Not when you think that speaking up when you’re at the bottle of the totem pole is pointless because you will not be heard. Not when you say to yourself you’re not strong enough to protect the one everyone is ganging up on.
I spoke up when I was a Private in the United States Army. I got in trouble for it but so what. I defended a sergeant when the sergeant was an inch away from going to jail. I took a sergeant his medicine when the company commander put him in some back woods county jail. I don’t know how many times I took the ‘hit’ for soldiers. Do you know why I did it? I didn’t do it so that soldiers could keep doing dumb shit. I did it so soldiers could recover from a mistake and ‘drive’ on!
That’s why it matters my brothers and sisters in uniform and all the military retirees. It matters who you put in the White House. All of you knew that Donald J. Trump would do exactly what he is doing to the military. All those police officers laughing behind Donald J. Trump in New York was completely expected. The military should be different. The military shouldn’t laugh at its own in crisis.
The military shouldn’t abandon the code of conduct for political leanings. Donald J. Trump in his ‘haughtiness’ caused America to be played like a ‘fiddle’ in Iran. History was a topic obviously our buffoonish Republican President Donald J. Trump cared less for even though he loves to boast about going to the best schools.
Let me tell you Americans that still think America’s military can just go anywhere and win. Did you see the movie ‘We Were Soldiers’ with Mel Gibson? Imagine fighting a ground war with soldiers dug in? Imagine if the fighting is close quarters? Now imagine the two guys that you got to count on to have your back are Donald J. Trump and Pete Hegseth? Yeah.
Let us all continue to ‘behold’ the mighty fall of Donald J. Trump. A White Supremacist man who possessed zero skills and talent in Donald J. Trump the ‘Legacy Media’ propped up with popsicle sticks to be our President!
Hope America doesn’t fall with Donald J. Trump. History is not on America’s side. Just saying.
Good luck and God help you.
