My Blather On.... Presidential Requirements; April 7th

 
 
Should Military Service Be Required?
    The requirements necessary to assume the office of President of The United States are enumerated in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, to wit:
  • A natural born citizen of the United States,
  • At least 35 years of age,
  • Be a permanent resident of the United States for at least 14 years. 
The 12th, the 14th and and the 22nd amendments have restrictions to holding the American presidency.
    In the modern era~say from 1900 forward~there have been nineteen presidents, fourteen of which had some form of military service; five had none.  Thirteen of the aforementioned served in some capacity during WWII, President George W. Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard/Air Force Reserve [1968-1972].  One might say that if not military service, then at least a deep, factual knowledge of the various branches of the military as well as the same level of knowledge in military tactics, military history.
    The well-documented military events~from the ill-conceived to the tragic~that have occurred on "Clown Prince" obama's "Rasputin" Jarrett's watch singlehandedly make the case for a textbook background in various aspects of the military.  I make that same proposal: that any presidential candidate of any party to have at least started a military course of study.  Said 'education' must be leveled at the 'candidate' due to the short timespan between the election and the assumption of office.
    There are several 'civilian' military colleges as well as the Army War College, the Naval War College, the Air War College.  Each military 'war college' has courses and tactical studies specifically pertinent to that branch.  Even if the candidate only experienced study at just one of the aforementioned colleges, it would be far better than the [lack of basic] knowledge of the current resident of barackINGHAM PALACE... the one besides Valerie Jarrett!!
    In conclusion, if the candidate(s) have/has not been in active military service, then~unless forced by rule~various aspects of America's foreign policy will be lacking in important aspects of decision-making.
We certainly couldn't do any worse than the failures of the "Rasputin" Jarrett Regime!
That's all I got.

STILL More "Lovely" Crap

"Lovely" Crap-Gets Crappier     Rather than me going through all the on-going " Lovely " crap in my less-than-stellar style, why don't we just let Bob Lonsberry explain it.  The saga of " Uncle Reggie " is dealt with in  Bob 's ' bare-bones ' style,  here .     For my two-cents, I think Ms Warren has a lot of " wayward Kenyan " in her i.e., she thinks far more highly of herself and her importance to the whole scheme of things than does practically anyone else! That's all I got. Til Nex'Time.... Justin Case

This 'n' That, December 16th....

  Biden's Jis Plain Stoopid     We all remember "Mayor pete," right? I sure as hell do, he impressed me as a lil' twurp with nota helluva lot to say of import.  Now "the big guy" is proving himself dumb enough to appoint lil' petie to the head of the Department of Transportation.     That will put petie incharge of all things airplane, all things trucks, all things highways; all things ocean-going; amongst many, many other things.  Yrs ago, I was a truck driver-in fact I even owned my own tractor [the 'truck' part]-so I kinda know abit from which I speak.     Someone of the LOI crowd is likely to ask lil' petie..... "What's the biggest problem facing the truck driver today?" He's likely to say something to the affect; "The trucks are too fast; or, the trucks are too heavy; or the trucks are always in the way......"  Not so!!  The greatest problem-nationwide-is TRUCK PARKING!!  I left over-the-road freight relocati...

This'n'That; June 20th; Military Budget UNFAIR to Troops

Why Must Military SUFFER For Defending Us/US?!?     I've not been fond of the Congress~ of either political party ~particularly in the way each treats our military men, women and their families... mostly like SHIT !  One can easily research the pay, perks, allowances and SCAMS allowed for the congress, the various branches of government and the various departments of said branches.  They~ federal appointed and, or elected workers ~certainly do not suffer at the will of someone they have little knowledge of, determining the value of everything from Valor, Bravery, Devotion, Determination, Tenacity, to just-plain ' performance-of-duty !'  There have been several~ maybe many ~gaps in the advances of military pay and allowances to keep up with inflation [ prior to the raise in 1963, the last raise was in JUNE, 1958 !  How many of these ' congressional SHITBAGS ' would'a stood for no pay raise FOR FIVE YEARS ?]     Those of the federal governm...
