I especially enjoyed your distinction between mostly European Countries and the USA regarding "trust" of the govt.

American Culture grew out of a serious and deserved "distrust."

I think this might be the most important idea in your post today.

Welcome back to sunny AZ.

Let's get Biggs and Company elected.

More to the point, who cares other than his fans and his mama? 😅

There is no mystical middle left on the questions that decide whether America survives as America. Borders either hold or they do not. Trade either serves American workers or it hollows them out. War either defends American interests or feeds another foreign meat grinder. Corrupt officials either face consequences or learn the racket still works. The old “socially moderate, fiscally responsible” lounge act belongs to another era. The fight now is sovereignty, law, industry, family, truth, and national memory against managed decline with better lighting. Pop culture wants applause from both sides while kneeling to the left’s enforcement priests. Let them sing. Stop letting them lead.

So very well said, Captain K. In light of the spectacular Venezuela oil deal, I wonder if that's why DJT has been "dithering" about "going all the way" in Iran...now there is no need for US to do so, not remotely. Europeans and Middle East nations, it's a "you" problem - good luck with that.

Interesting thought. When we ramp up our usage of Venezula's output we can tell the rest of the world, "we've prevented Iran getting a nuke, and crippled their militaries [land, sea, and air] so now the oil and shipping of same are not a USA issue." The biggest issue is China's thirst for Iranian oil, but that could be solved by selling some Venezulan oil to them at "market price + 10%" and letting that double dip to mitigate our balance of trade with them.

The "middle" is not defined by ideology. The "middle" isn't really the middle in that sense, and never has been. The "middle" is how much money do they have in the bank. How much food they have in the fridge. The "middle" is what-have-you-done-for-me-lately. The "middle" is literally the 'are you better off now than you were four years ago' crowd. And they can't see past that, or don't care to. If they did, they'd be on the right.

But to your other point, yes. I barely know who Jelly Roll is, and I don't care.

Same concept - either GOOD or evil - no middle!

Let your yes be yes, and let your no be no.

Well said, Captain Keshel! I think that "Captain America" suits you as a title. I would be thrilled to meet President Trump and thank him personally for all that he has done for our country. I'm glad that President Trump has met with you and taken your work to heart. Thank you for keeping us updated and aware of reality.

Centrists, like secularists, are the idiot minority who think they are the "mainstream" reasonable people who most people would agree with because they always look to be equidistant from the right and the left as portrayed to them by the Media. They will only find out they are a tiny minority always scrambling to place themselves between the hammer and anvil of the opposing parties when they are crushed in the clash of the two. Being tepid is not being reasonable, and the middle is always to the left until reality catches up.

A bit off target regarding Iran (Persia) We became involved, if actually didn't start the battle in 1979. I think DJT will finally bring an end to the conflict between the ruling Arabs (Mullahs & IRGC) and the native Persians. There is this little history book called the Bible that so many seem to overlook, it's well worth the study. There is no middle when it comes to our heritage with the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

The middle is the place of no commitment. Just a sales pitch for fools.

The Captain sometimes fails to understand what the demographics of modern "show business" are. That is understandable because he is someone who has been drawn into being a public figure because he is an honest, intelligent, skilled person whose second career is in politics. That is not how almost everyone else comes to the "Entertainment" business. Music, movies, "the news" are always going to be skewed towards leftist ideology because the overwhelming majority of the actual paying customers are going to be the believers in secular miracles and the power of political complaint. The people who entertain themselves by living - and their children - are never going to be willing to spend money on fantasies of living the gangsta life and finding true love from having sex with random strangers. Grievance has always sold more than the good news.

In mainstream politics, there is only the left.
