We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
It's certainly a blunder and by Waltz's team but not by Waltz. With something like this all you can do is make sure everyone on your team understands the protocol, investigate the situation to assure it was a mistake and not sabotage and move on.
The Dems made a big deal about it. Their only plan is to prevent Trump (and thus our country) from succeeding. I'm sure this has happened before and never exposed. Move on and ignore those who hate the country.
"Why did climate change emerge as an issue of concern and then fade?"
Because the long list of dire warnings didn't come to pass, well past the predicted deadlines?
Because the dire warnings were not supported by clear science?
Because the United Nations is a deeply flawed institution, where the worst offenders are placed in positions of authority on the subjects of their offenses?
Because the Climate Change policy makers and the United Nations have only sought to those societies that are already making voluntary progress on emissions - while ignoring nations whose emissions continue to grow and dwarf those of the complying nations - while the policy makers do nothing about it?
Because people are generally smart enough to know when they are being played, when policy issues are designed to gather power rather than serve humanity?
Because Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant, but is fundamental to life on earth?
Climate change, education, medical care ALL have one thing in common... massive government funding and government mandates carried out by faceless bureaucrats who were always protected from citizen ire.
Now is the time of tar and feathers for the entrenched marxists. No more free rides, the grifting ends.
Just way too much good information to quote from the Miranda Devine article. It’s very curious that Mr. Goldberg, of all people, a rapid anti-Trumper, was the one included on the chat. And don’t forget that Mr. Goldberg initially stated that the chat was “war plans.” Meaning he had access to planning of an operation that was in the future. What he was included in, was a play by play of an ongoing operation. Yes, that’s still bad. My memory is that the Secretary of Defense and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, both immediately admitted to the blunder and the seriousness of it.
Just compare the number of words written and the interest that the same democrat media took in the Joe Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan - as just one example and much more serious to national security. Billions of dollars highly valuable military equipment and 13 dead Marines, and the coverage from these same hypocrites was a big yawn. This smells to me like an ongoing get Trump assault, by the same dark forces that have been after him since he came down the escalator.
Does it really need to be said that a man of integrity, a man that was a patriot and had the best interests of his country at heart, would have said right away, hey guys, somehow I’ve been included on this chat. I don’t belong here. Doing the right thing, would still allow Mr. Goldberg to write a critical story. However, it wouldn’t have been so sensational and gotcha! Where’s the partisan fun in that?
Jethro Gibbs: Rule #39: "There is no such thing as coincidences."
Would it surprise anyone to learn that somehow Hillary Clinton is involved in Signalgate? Granted, 2011 was a while back. But Hilary as Secretary of State set up a board of advisors that included Katherine Maher, the CEO of National Public Radio. And Katherine Maher, the CEO of National Public Radio sits on the board of directors for Signal. Are you kidding me? Did Joe Biden’s auto pen designate that Signal would be used for these types of communications? The rot is very deep in the political class.
