They have no issue with the tech billionaires backing the administration right now, they’re just auditioning to run the control grid once it’s implemented and it’s their turn to be the face. Who better than these velvet glove over the iron fist veterans. Thanks for shedding light on this and staying consistent Ken!
Sherill was my congresswoman for years, and while I don't live in New Jersey anymore, I tried to get people to understand that she was just another war-mongering corporate Democrat, a right-winger who paints herself Just blew enough to be called Progressive because she's in a traditionally red district. I think anyone who views service in the US military as a positive is a danger to the future of humanity
I disagree. While there are many in the military and many veterans who perceive military conquest as a positive, there are many of us who have served who perceive differently. And though we may see things differently, I value my service and that of all who have served.
Such an empty strategy, obviously cooked by someone in their late fifties that hasn't had to check their bank account before a purchase in over a decade.
Oh wow messaging! Once again the downfall of the Democratic Party. "See Spot Run". Keep it simple folks and stick to problems that every day Americans can relate to. Lack of healthcare, safe streets, rising price of everything thanks to the "ap-ocracracy". "See Spot Run"... keep it simple.
No comment yet about Trump's bizarre and dangerous rantings, but the phenomenon at the center of your article, Ken, is the end result of the Democrats having caved (or exhibited their natural, latent or hidden true tendencies?) during the "War on Terra Era" of Bush II/Cheney. This was when I became fully politically aware. Awake, even. Woke in a different sense. There were a tiny number of principled voices among the Democrats still left over from the late 60s and mid-70s Civil Rights and Vietnam era in 2000 when the election was stolen from Al Gore and handed to George W. Bush via activist judicial fiat, but after 9/11 and the massive wave of jingoism and fake patriotism (it being the last refuge of a scoundrel, so it was once said) being pushed by the American flag lapel wearing neocon and ascendant GOP, rather than become a real resistance party against militarization, war-mongering and the contrived "War on Terror" (and of course financial elite speculator bailouts) - the Dems started pushing military, then 3LA candidates on the American public under the first of many misguided strategies since, thinking that the average until-then Democrat voter believed this sort of pseudo-patriotic vetting was a winning approach.
Mark Warner was among the first of this breed. Jim Traficant was framed up for speaking out on this stuff (and against Israel) and his ilk, including Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich among others, were pushed aside for the type of candidates you write about tonight. And yet, rather than winning people over, they serve as fodder for the newly (faux) populist Trumpist right and not symbols of service to the American ideal. I find myself believing that the aforementioned MAGA-ists are actually correct about something again....but again, for the wrong reasons. Having CIA and War on Terror military bona-fides should, in fact, be a detriment for progressives or people like me on the anti-imperialist civil-libertarian left, who are now branded "terrorists." But not for why Trump and the faction of the MAGA cult that still supports him after Iran, Epstein, the DOGE purges, and the massively flagging economy (which is almost purely his fault) are claiming. Imagine. Calling CIA and Iraq/Afghanistan veterans "the radical left" and calling them traitors deserving to be hung..... Orwellian.
"Today’s war is national security versus the people, and politicians don’t have much to say about that."
You want to be careful using statements like that. National security means a lot of things to a lot of people, and few people share the same image of what is national security.
There is a real enemy of the people and it is at the top of our government, but it doesn't include the entire establishment and, in fact, the vast majority of our national security system - the military, the intelligence community and others - are well aware that their first loyalty is to the constitution and the law, and not to the chain of command. It is only those who have been elected into positions of authority, those who have been instrumental in selecting the candidates, and their sycophant followers that are real threat to our democracy. They are a small fraction of the national security system.
So, please. When talking about x vs the people, do be a little more specific about who or what x is.
I would advise everyone to be very wary of these Moms who may be supporters of Israel eager to have a red herring to distract us from it. For the sake of our country that our Pledge of Allegiance tells us is for liberty and justice for all, job one is to examine every political candidate whether Republican or Democrat to be sure he or she is not a tool for ethnic cleansing Israel to maintain US support.
A site called Track AIPAC is a good place to start investigating current members of Congress. A more comprehensive rundown of Congress in regard to getting pro-Israel lobby money is The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.

AIPAC is not a PAC. It is a group of Americans exercising their right of free association. They decide to contribute to candidates, totally legal and protected by the constitution. If there’s a cause others want to contribute to, and form a group to press for rights for say, “Queers for Palestine,” ha eat it. Meanwhile I resent all “J’accuse” statements about protected and lawful organizations, ani it’s America loving members, like me.
America loving? Then you must love liberty and justice for all, including "queers", not the ethnic supremacy of Israel which is the antithesis of what America has been about until turned upside down by Zionist money going to AIPAC (it is a PAC, part of its name) to make our corrupt Congress obedient not to you and I, we the people of America, but to Israel.

Sad a draft dodger calls those who faithfully served as seditious.
Not just sad, but sick.
And not just a draft dodger, but a traitor himself..
YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! Pointing out that folks want change and not security.
:) say hi to Hattie for me !!
The only security we need is protection from our president and his cronies.

Loved a quote. “Jeffries further said that that title belonged to Spanberger and Sherrill.”
