With much chagrin I read the article on changing the names of a number of military basis that was published in your paper on Sept. 24.

“The election should not be certified,” the independent forensic auditors reported to the Arizona Senate Sept. 24, 2021. There were thousands of “continual and repeated access to the internet.” Continuing, the report said: “It really boils down to election accountability and making sure our elections are secure, and I will tell you they are NOT, based on any measure.”

The deeply unsettling revelation of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley’s alleged late Trump administration-era perfidy, bordering on high treason, is but one glaring fusillade in a years-long crusade by America’s decrepit ruling class to condemn and ultimately subjugate us “deplorables,” “wrong-thinkers” and all others with a conservative or traditionalist worldview.

In 2021, President Biden is attempting to assure the American public that chaos, confusion and even casualties are inevitable in a military withdrawal from foreign territory. Cabinet officials and corporate media compare the evacuation from Kabul to the scrambles of Saigon and Dunkirk to support his point.

In nearly 30 years of covering America’s corrupted immigration and entrance policies, I can tell you definitively that every “border crisis” is a manufactured crisis. Caravans of Latin American illegal immigrants don’t just form out of nowhere. Throngs of Middle Eastern refugees don’t just amass spontaneously. Boatloads of Haitians don’t just wash up on our shores by random circumstance.

One is the loneliest number,” Three Dog Night famously sang over five decades ago. But all it takes is one brave soul fighting against the tide to inspire 10. Ten become hundreds. Hundreds become thousands. Thousands become millions. Millions become a new majority.

There are many ways in which to divide humanity -- the decent and the indecent, the happy and the unhappy, the cowardly and the courageous, those who lead and those who follow, etc. Two major divisions that are less often noted but highly consequential are between those who want to control others and those who have little interest in controlling others, and between the related categories of those who are comfortable with being controlled by others and those who detest being controlled by others.

Through secret backchannels unbeknown to then-President Donald Trump, Gen. Mark Milley informed leaders from the Chinese Communist Party and Democratic Party that he would not carry out “any kind” of military action ordered by Trump.

It must have been a relief for the White House to put Joe Biden on a plane to New Jersey last Tuesday. For the first time in weeks, the president got to talk about a disaster he didn’t create. And yet, while he surveyed the wreckage from Hurricane Ida, the world’s attention was still 6,900 miles away on the damage that can’t be undone: Biden’s disastrous exit from Afghanistan.

On May 25, 2020, a man named George Floyd, apparently highly intoxicated with a long criminal record who was also resisting arrest, was admittedly roughed up and neck pressed by a police officer, Derek Chauvin, and this contributed to or caused his death. A jury decided the latter, but investigations have led to controversy over whether Derek Chauvin was 100% culpable. The officer was sentenced to 30 years.
