Chipping Away At Our Military Strength

 


Friends, my latest article concerns a topic that probably isn't keeping you up at night, but might be worrying a great many of our top military commanders: it's our reliance on chipmakers connected to the Chinese Communist Party to produce the electronic "brains" of so many of our weapons systems.  What if the Chinese decide to cut off that supply, or, worse, what if they engineer a way to manipulate the weapons systems themselves?  Fortunately, moves are afoot to cut off our military supply chains leading back to Red China, and I support them.

In other news, DJT has, in a rather ill-considered outburst, called for the "termination" of aspects of the U.S. Constitution dealing with elections, in order to reverse the monstrous wrong of his own defeat in 2020.  Now liberals -- in the ultimate irony -- are coming to the Constitution's defense.  This is yet another instance of Trump tripping over his own message, if you ask me.  What's more, I would say to Trump: "You know, you were President of the United States at one time.  If you think aspects of the Constitution need to be suspended to ensure that truth, justice, and the American way prevail, you probably should have done so yourself!  Whining about it ad nauseam AFTER you've left office accomplishes nothing."  But that's just me.

  2. Dr. Waddy from Jack: President Trump's wording in this is not good and creates a PR problem, but: amendment of the Constitution is often suggested or attempted. Of course the left is utterly bereft of moral authority to judge a Constitution for which they harbor withering contempt except if it gives them leave to kill the unborn or just born. If it happens to float their boat, then its ok for now . . .. If not it gets 2nd Amendment style excoriation, disdain and disobediance. In this and much else the left emulates its darlings - criminals.

  3. Dr Waddy from Jack:TheMSM ,after their characteristic manner of ,contemptibile, wholly expeditionary untruths which disgrace them and their once honored "profression" beyond measure.They stated President Trump said the "Constitution should be terminated" . Apparently hesaid that certain parts should be terminated. The difference is of immense importance and again, legal proper means exist for amendment of the Constitution but assume good will on the part of those who would advance amendment. Such good will is wholly antithetical to the which embraces the conveniece of "any means neccesary or thinks so.

  4. Is that so, Richie? Please expand on that. I'm curious how you and those like you (the creme de la creme, in other words) are processing things these days. There does seem to be a lot of disenchantment percolating out there, but on the other hand Trump's poll numbers have always held up pretty well with Republicans...

    Agreed, Jack. Leftists have no credibility as defenders of the Constitution, and even most conservatives play fast and loose with it, but why would Trump go out of his way to denigrate our constitutional order? Does he think that an extra-constitutional order is likely to give him a fairer shake? That seems naive to me. Seems like the Constitution, bruised and battered as it is, is one of the few things keeping the lefties from putting you and me and everyone like us on trains to the east...

    I concur, Jack, that the media blew Trump's remarks totally out of proportion, but Trump and Trumpers should be used to that by now, which is why Trump and all Republicans need to choose their words CAREFULLY!

  5. Dr.Waddy from Jack: There is only one appreciable power plainly set on either bowdlerizing our Constitution into a tool for their arbitrary benefit OR just throwing it out: that is the american far left. Their disingenuous bleats of alarm over the preservation and (oh be still my beating heart!) principled construction of our Constitution is straight out of the "parable" of good 'ol Brer Rabbit and the briar patch. After all, the exalted Soviet Union had a written constitution.For the far left to try to establish that Trump madly and counterintuitively expressed favor for summary abrogation of the Constitution is a lie and manifests their disdain for a public they consider so much playdough in their Promethean hands. That an American far left freed of that pesky document woul d do with us as their momentary fancy bids them is certain, anonymous Perhaps we would rise each day to the strains of "The East is Red". "Catchy" tune, that!

  6. Jack, I would say the Left is already in no meaningful sense encumbered by the Constitution. They long since reinterpreted it into oblivion. They are, however, encumbered by SCOTUS, which, for the time being, is the hands of people who do, marginally, take the Constitution and its authors seriously. Our job is to ensure that that never changes (unless for the better).
