This is a two-part post. If you just want the summary, just read this one. If you want the “dirty details” then read Part Two also. Selling the most arms in the World, the US sold $208.47 billion compared to second place Russia, with $86.12 billion.

So much is bizarre with these arms sales. First is that Congress is well aware of this. Second, the vast majority of these sales go to developing countries that probably could spend the money in better ways. The most interesting part is to look at what we specifically sell to what country and then look at a map and see what we sell to their neighbors.

The assumption that our politicians care about the truth is probably a very faulty assumption. Some don’t want their complicity revealed. Others like being able to pontificate on things that merely obstruct. All to distract from things that are really important or to get political gain.…
We elected a president to stop our never ending wars. President Trump has ordered the CIA to stop their wars in Syria. Yet we still continue. Is America an out of control military state?…
Russia’s tactics in Syria deserve some serious studies by our military leaders. Supporting the legitimate leaders of a country starts success. Their military support supported the local military.

We talk about 487 Counties because there are no States that completely immune to the craziness. Even the traditional Southern states have their pockets of the left. Be careful and vigilant.…
Is it really possible that there is a “server” for each member of congress? Is that the model? Not to defend Hillary, but if that is the model, maybe that’s why she sought to maintain it. Ignoring the cost of 535 servers, it seems like that allows for 535 opportunities to hack our government.…
Not only do I hope this is true, I hope he is wildly successful. I never expected President Trump to be wildly successful in the first two years of his term. He is in charge of the executive branch and that is what he can control. He has achieved more success than his detractors will credit him for and less than I’d hope for. The only chance we American’s have is if the swamp is defeated in 2018.…
