Finally,  National Security is addressed.

Bill Clinton opened the door for the Chinese hordes in 2000:

China's WTO entry prompted, stupidly, President George W. Bush's outreach to the communist bastards in China with

his proclamation granting China permanent normal trading relations (PNTR) with the United States ...

 ... which was the worst decision by a Bush since his father removed the Second Infantry Division's tactical nuclear deterrent on the DMZ.

President George H. W. Bush's unilateral disarmament initiative in September 1991 provided yet another tremendous departure from his and my boss, President  Ronald Reagan.

When I deployed to the DMZ as Division Dental Surgeon, my battalion commander, LTC Clemmons, briefed me as he assigned my weapon to me:

NOKO:  5 million troops

2ID:  10 thousand

But the DEFCON 2 designation provided that nuclear deterrent.

  Gone with the stroke of a pen...

President George H. W. Bush's unilateral disarmament initiative in September 1991...

'unilateral'...

8 years of Peace through Strength...

Gone.

Until now...

The prettier of our two magnificent Tennessee senators, Marsha is a Laurel, MS, girl...

... as I was always reminded by a delightful patient at her checkups over a number of years. (She, too, was a beauty from Laurel...)

But Marsha is all Tennessee!

My son-in-law, Kevin, has a beautiful Camaro similar to the beast above.

 Shout-out to the Sergeant Major for the beautiful 1972 Mach I.

It remains the most beautiful car I have ever seen.

Thanks to my Mother, also.

She and the other members of the Fantastic Four are pleased with President Trump, I would wager.

Lisa and her 3 Mothers...

 All federal officials must take an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution before starting their jobs.

The president's and vice president's oaths have roots in the U.S. Constitution and historical practices.

Supreme Court Justices and Congress members also take specific oaths to officially assume their roles.

An oath of office is a promise required of most federal officials to carry out the duties set forth in the U.S. Constitution.

 The president and vice president, members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, and justices joining the U.S. Supreme Court all publicly take oaths before assuming office.

 Let's play 'Where's Waldo?'...

Who can find at least two asshole RINO's?

Hint:  They 'served' on the January 6 

Committee...

 The January 6 Committee was composed of nine members, including seven Democrats and two Republicans.

 Key members included Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney, who were appointed to investigate the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. 

Another hint:

One of these traitors cries like a little girl.

Another should be disowned by her father.

He is a Neocon, however.  And I would advise not to go hunting with him...

At any rate, their oath reads:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

Another shout-out to President James K. Polk and Columbia, TN -   

Michael Nelson stated in his book, "Guide to the Presidency and the Executive Branch" that, while Washington took the Oath of Office using a Bible, it cannot be definitively proven that any president, up to James K. Polk's 1845 inauguration,   used a Bible for the Oath.

Hopefully, he occasionally read from it, as 

God knows his true desires in the annexation of Texas... 

My frequent trips on the Wayback Machine, enjoying real comedy from the Eighties... 

  ... finds 'Married With Children' Al Bundy referencing his high school alma mater in virtually every episode.

 I recently viewed an episode, reminding me I have been erroneously referring to that Southern green (much enjoyed by the proverbial 'mule in a polk salad patch'), to which I was introduced upon moving to Columbia in September of 1968, as 'Polk' salad.  I assumed it was named after the president who hailed from Columbia.

'Poke High'  s3.e3

Upon moving to 217 Ashwood Drive, there were two great things immediately noticed by this fourteen year old:

This brand new house, in a brand new neighborhood, was at the very top of a hill.

Not just any hill.

That first snow in 1968 found 217 Ashwood Drive as the preeminent destination for neighborhood sledding.

Steep and very, very few cars - only those residents who lived on the street and they parked in their driveways.

Clear sailing, with a great length of level ground 'runway' at the bottom of the hill before an active highway crossed our path.

The second great aspect of this new residence was meeting our incredible next door neighbor, Mr. Ray Bratton and his family. 

 With a beautiful wife and two sons, Ray, Jr., and Tim, I instantly had two new friends, especially Ray, Jr., the older at 13 years old.

I remember Mr. Bratton, a burly Southern Manly Man and a lineman for the electric utility company in Columbia, sporting a big smile one spring morning...

"Keith, how would you like to go with us to gather polk salad?"

I was not familiar with this particular green, as collards were the preferred variant of 'greens' in North Carolina.

They still are.

Collards, as we referenced them, did not require parboiling, light frying and mixed with eggs in order to make them tasty.

Further, this Appalachian delight comes from pokeweed leaves, a plant that can be poisonous if not prepared correctly.

... poisonous if not prepared correctly.

WTF...

https://www.southernliving.com › what-is-poke-salad-6824774

No, simply boiling with bacon, ham or - my favorite - ham hocks will do, thank you.

For decades, I have referred to these greens as 'polk' salad, referencing Columbia as being home for the former president.

However, it appears that the preferred pronunciation is 'poke'.

I know, Martha, it does come from the pokeweed...

... but don't forget in 1968:

The President's Oath of Office

The president is required by Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution to take the following oath of office:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Where is that "So help me God."?

No worries about our 47th president...

Which I took at seventeen...

"I, (state name ), do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (So help me God)."

Commissioned officers O-1 (second lieutenant or ensign) through O-10 (general or admiral) and W-2 through W-5 (chief warrant officers) are commissioned under the authority of the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the United States Senate.

Warrant officers (W-1) receive a warrant under the authority of their respective service secretary (e.g., the Secretary of the Army or the Secretary of the Navy).

 National Guard officers are additionally committed to the authority of the governor of their state. They may be activated in the service of their state in time of local or state emergency in addition to federal activation. 

Reserve officers may only be activated by the President of the United States.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."

Quiz:  Which of the above does not know what a 'woman' is?

No more.

This president has their back.

Would it not be great if this murderess provided the initial entertainment on the National Execution Network (NEN)?

Just sayin'...

Marco Rubio has a bone to pick with you commie assholes, anyway.

Just give him an excuse.

A little advice:

Get rid of that Chinese listening post that is spying on ALL COMMO IN THE U.S., INCLUDING CELL PHONE TRAFFIC.

Thanks, Joe.

 James Madison, James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson—they were no older than 25 when they began the journeys that etched their names into the history books for all time. 

Walt Disney was 21 when he founded Disney.

Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple.

 I reflected on the Greatest Generation, those men and women who thrust the United States into the position as the Leader of the Free World...

... many of whom were teenagers.

After years of fighting and the absence of their families, the survivors of World War II were more than happy to make up for lost time...

Get ready world, here come the Boomers.

Prior to the millennium, they were the only generational connotations.

Each of these 'generations' has acquired, good or bad, justified or not, certain characteristics.

From thirty thousand feet and utilizing the longitudinal scientific principle in the evaluation of the question...

... does each subsequent generation have a grasp of the concept "Duty, Honor, Country"?

And, more importantly, give a damn?

 Reflection on my twenties ...

... or, actually, my teens...

At seventeen, I signed a contractual agreement with the United States Army (cosigned by SFC Daw)...

The Army Four-Year ROTC Scholarship provided full tuition, all books and supplies required, as well as a monthly stipend...

...  and paved the way for my UTC years.

That monthly stipend of one hundred dollars was precisely my monthly rent at 707 D Mississippi Avenue...

Consequently, I was required to complete a 4-year active and 2-year reserve obligation.

At age 22, I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Army, deferring that obligation until after dental school.

At age 26, I was promoted to captain and assigned to the United States Army Aviation Center, Fort Rucker, AL.

At age 27, I was designated Forensic Officer, responsible for dental identifications in fatal accidents.

At age 29, subsequent to the downing of Korean Airlines flight 007 in 1983 by the Russians, I was selected as one of four Division Dental Surgeons for the Second Infantry Division on the DMZ.

I was tasked by my immediate rater, LTC Thomas Blainey, a West Point-commissioned Airborne Ranger, to provide tactical dental teams in order to ensure the deployable status of Special Forces elements on the DMZ.

K-16 airbase provided air assets for the first airmobile tactical dental team insertion and extraction operations conducted in the Republic of Korea. 

Thanks to God for His grace during that busy decade.

I will state again...

... I was a child of privilege.

Thanks, Sergeant Major.
