General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n... Trump was planning to fly to Russia for a 'Victory Day' World War II commemoration event on May 9. But it was also when Stalin's Soviet Union took half of Europe hostage. While Ukraine is still bleeding & Europe is on edge.

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

Reports claiming convicted felon Donald Trump was a KGB asset in 1987 under codename "Krasnov" are vanishing without explanation. The Daily Beast and others erased the story with no retraction. A cover-up? DOJ pressure? Someone's scrubbing history fast. www.dailykos.com/sto...
