I know I mentioned this in my previous blog; however, I can’t seem to let it go. The more I think about it the angrier I become. I’m referring, of course, to Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a former astronaut and naval officer who, just recently joined a group of leftist idiots requesting that uniformed personnel refuse to obey orders they feel are illegal from the Trump Administration! A boogar in the nose of society!
After wearing various uniforms for several years, I am acutely aware of the necessity of obeying orders given by a superior and I cannot comprehend doing otherwise. The obvious question, of course: Who determines the legality of any order given? Based upon that ludicrous concept, brother Marc Kelly could have determined that orders sending him to Vietnam were not legal and simply gone home. Yeah; right! Seriously, I wonder how Naval Captain Mark Kelly would have reacted if a subordinate had refused to comply with one of his orders? It is my understanding that he may be facing a court martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice even though he is officially retired. Could we be so lucky?
Of course, the present-day military is far different from that in which my brother and I served. Thankfully, Secretary Pete Hegseth is making every effort to return it to its revered past. DEI is dying a gruesome death. No longer are active military personnel being relieved from active duty for refusing to take a COVID shot or allowed leave to receive gender-related surgery. Still, a lawful order must be unquestionably followed. Subordinates cannot choose to obey based upon personal opinion.
In other rather expected news, a leftist judge in Virginia dismissed charges against both James Comey and Leticia James based upon a technically. As I indicated, I’m not the least bit surprised. The dismissals were without prejudice which means they can be re-filed and I presume they will be. There will be additional hearings in the Florida jurisdiction for Comey as a result of the infamous Mar-a-Lago raid and that area is much more conservative. If anyone deserved prosecution, it’s this snake.
Speaking of injustice, I recently learned that an employee of a 7 Eleven store working late at night was forced to defend herself when she was attacked by a customer attempting to pass a counterfeit one-hundred-dollar bill. While being choked, she produced her weapon and shot him in the stomach. In what was clearly self-defense, she was subsequently fired from her job! Her offense? She brought a weapon to work! My question of management? Why were you allowing a young woman to work overnight alone? 7 Eleven just lost an occasional customer and, maybe, as a result of this blog, a few more.
Which brings me to my next topic: the Islamic Republic of Minnesota. Candidly, I’ve never been knowledgeable about that state. I was aware that its governor ran for vice president in 2024 and that’s about it. He certainly isn’t impressive. In any event, the state has a large Islamic population and a significant Muslim culture with over a hundred mosques and a significant Muslim culture.
In the 1880’s, Somali immigrants fleeing the Ottoman Empire were granted Temporary Protective Status by the American government. Many chose Minnesota. That status continues in the present although President Trump is considering cancelling it as I’ve been told. Technically, they can be deported at any time because they are not citizens.
There are currently about 140,000 Somalis in that state. Many hold political offices even though they are not citizens and the culture has taken over the larger cities like Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the latter city with a Somali mayor. Cultural calls to prayer are recognized, as are other customs. They even occupy Congressional seats as I’m sure you are aware of the covered hijabs there.
There has been a significant surge in Islamic criminal activity, especially in the Twin Cities, primarily drug related and it is alleged that millions of U. S. taxpayer dollars are being returned to the homeland to fund gang activity in that region. Many Minnesotans are concerned; however, they are also fearful. Of additional concern is Governor Tim Walz’s close relationship with China. He’s visited the country several times and even given presentations there. Hmmmm . . .
Of considerable concern to me is the level of negative publicity President Trump is receiving as a result of comments he’s made to reporters recently. In many ways, he’s his own worst enemy.
