Chivalry and manners............

 Via Jerry via True Appalachia hills people and places

......are long time Appalachian traits and traditions that have been taught from one generation to another for a lot of us, is it dead, on hold, or very apparent? Do ladies get offended when a gentleman opens a door, pulls out a chair, carries packages, etc. for her, my wife doesn’t, in fact she rather expects it?

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn't return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain's role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain's military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn't talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them.

  McCain And The POW Cover-Up (Scathing Documents. BT)  

2010

   

As late as 1988 a U.S. spy satellite passing over Sam Neua Province in Laos, spotted the 12-foot-tall letters "U.S.A." and immediately beneath them a huge highly classified Vietnam war-era I SAF/USN "escape and invasion" code in a rice paddy in a narrow mountain Valley.

Tragically, the truth did not come out, thanks, the authors charge, to two of the Committee's most powerful members, Chairman John Kerry and ex-POW Sen. John McCain. Both, the authors explain, were intent on "ending the war" and normalizing relations with Vietnam. They chose to perpetuate the cover-up rather than expose it.

Rep. Mo Brooks Demands Joe Biden’s Resignation: He Has ‘Strength of a Marshmallow’ and ‘Judgment of a Gnat’

 Via Billy


“President Joe Biden has proven himself to be a complete and total fiasco. The horror of dead American military personnel giving their lives in defense of a botched Afghanistan withdrawal is Joe Biden’s pinnacle of incompetence,” Brooks continued before demanding his resignation.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) demanded President Joe Biden’s resignation Friday as the number of elected Republicans calling for the president to resign steadily grows; it currently stands at 28.

“Time and time again, President Biden has shown the strength of a marshmallow and the intellectual capacity and judgment of a gnat,” Brooks wrote in a press release. “America, and the free world, simply cannot afford the risks of such a vacuous man in the office of President of the United States”:

Former Newsmax Host Shares Information on Biden’s Cognitive Abilities He Received From ‘High Ranking Source in IC’

Former Newsmax host John Cardillo says that he received information from high ranking source that the Intelligence Community knows that President Joe Biden is ‘cognitively disabled’ and that they argued with him not to give a certain order on Afghanistan.

“High ranking source in IC told me IC officials know Biden is cognitively disabled, they argued with him to not give the order, he became combative and did it anyway. They’re concerned for global stability. Sentiment is that Kamala will at least make lucid decisions,” Cardillo wrote.

Why Joe Biden can't resign, or be removed — or die

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TWH_Vb0KfbM/hqdefault.jpg

 DATED

In the wake of the Afghanistan debacle, demands have arisen in Congress for President Biden to resign or to be removed via the 25th Amendment.  Elements of the formerly pro-Biden media have joined in the condemnation.

Many silent Democrat office-holders likely want Biden out, as they fear that the systemic incompetence of his administration will bring them down come 2022.

But Joe cannot resign or be fired.  The Democrat high command will not let either happen, no matter the short-term political cost.

On the surface, that makes little sense.  Joe's resignation or removal would not alter Democrat control of the presidency and Congress.  If Joe leaves, Kamala Harris becomes president.  She is incompetent, too, but no more so than Joe, and is on board with the administration's radical agenda.

So.  Why can't Joe quit the office or be removed?

Pompeo Pushes Back on Biden Blaming Trump for Afghanistan Withdrawal: We ‘Maintained Deterrence’ + Impeachment, Resignation & Troops ‘Devastated’ Over Leaving Allies

 Pompeo Pushes Back on Biden Blaming Trump for Afghanistan Withdrawal: We ‘Maintained Deterrence’

It wasn’t because of the piece of paper, that was the set of understandings. It was because the Taliban understood that if they acted against Americans and took on actions that were inconsistent with what they had promised to do, we’d respond and we did. We did it multiple times. When they pushed on us and the Trump administration, we responded with American power and American might, and we made clear to the Taliban that deterrence was going to be maintained. The difference was when the Biden administration came in, when the Taliban pushed, they withdrew. They showed weakness. The Taliban rolled it up. They put our military in an incredibly difficult position because they weren’t prepared to defend the conditions and then decided to withdraw when the conditions weren’t right.

Kamala Harris Mistakenly Pays Tribute To The Communist Vietnamese Who Shot Down And Captured John McCain

Via David

 

Kamala Harris visited Vietnam this week and in an apparent faux pas she laid flowers at a site that celebrated the shooting down of pilot, and late Sen. John McCain.

Apparently, Harris mistook the site that celebrated the Vietnamese civilians who captured McCain and handed him over to the communist government as their prisoner, for a memorial to the late senator.

Why she would believe that a nation that was fighting against the United States would erect a memorial for a man who fought against them is unknown. (I agree today but this wasn't necessarily true in the pass when men were honorable warriors)

War Is A Racket

Here richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician’s corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintances sneered and slanged, I wept:
For I had longed to see him hanged.
