I have long been an originalist, strict construction libertarian believing as did Mr. Jefferson (the slave owner and sage) that "the best government is the least possible." The trick being to discern what the least possible might be.Sic Semper Tyrannis
Therefore I find it odd that I am somewhat disturbed by what is being said on the Democratic Party side of Congress, in the MSM...

Col. W. Patrick Lang, US Army (ret.)
At the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lang was the Defense Intelligence Officer (DIO) for the Middle East, South Asia and counter-terrorism, and later, the first Director of the Defense Humint Service. At the DIA, he was a member of the Defense Senior Executive Service. He participated in the drafting of National Intelligence Estimates. From 1992 to 1994, all the U.S. military attachés worldwide reported to him. During that period, he also briefed President George H. W. Bush at the White House, as he had during Operation Desert Storm.
He was also the head of intelligence analysis for the Middle East for seven or eight years at that institution. He was the head of all the Middle East and South Asia analysis in DIA for counter-terrorism for seven years. For his service in the DIA, Lang received the Presidential Rank Award of Distinguished Executive. — Wikipedia
Stop calling it "mainstream media". It is CORPORATE media, controlled by handful of companies.
ReplyDeleteThe completely bogus claim that state media like Sputnik, RT, TASS in Russia and Xinhua and China Daily are biased while the Western corporate media owned by folks like Rupert Murdoch and Jess Bezos are "fair and balanced" is laughable.
ReplyDeleteBezos sits on a Pentagon advisory board and was reported to have a $600m CIA contract (Amazon).
ReplyDeleteAaron Burr should have challenged the scoundrel Jefferson to a duel.
ReplyDeleteLastgreek: Jefferson and Burr were on the same side. Jefferson was a free trader while Hamilton was a protectionist. So, Burr was paid to kill Hamilton.
