John Minford, #SunTzu 3:12, 13 & 14 "12 - The general is the prop of the nation. 13 - When the prop is solid the nation is strong. 14 - When the prop is flawed, the nation is weak."

Today's focus is on verse 14.

FDR and Truman won WWII. Eisenhower lost Korea. JFK and Johnson and Nixon lost Vietnam. Carter lost Iran. We'll come back to Reagan. Bush lost Iraq, well he won, then decided to lose. Clinton lost China. Bush W lost Iraq a second time. Clinton H lost Libya. Obama lost Iraq again.

Wait, Clinton lost China? Yeah, absolutely. He lost North Korea and it was just a proxy for China. Far worse, he lost China by letting them buy him. And no, not just the Lincoln Room although absolutely that. Look it up. No, our intellectual property has not been right, since.

Me? I don't know anything. But, if it was up to me, I'd be looking at China for any election meddling in 2016, not Russia. The Russians dream of attaining China's level of hacking prowess. China is serious. Russia is a wannabe. At least as unqualified me sees it.

China is a worthy enemy. Russia? Meh. They used to be the global leader of communism. Now, they just lead crony capitalism. That's boring. China leads global communist state capitalism. The state is capitalist. The nation is communist. Poor the nation.

Again, who lost the war against China? Bill Clinton did. They bought him. We, America, we lost. Well, Al Gore lost too. Pure scum. It's good that he lost, but not good that hanging chads were required. Florida. Go figure. There's a lot of figuring in all this.

On the topic of China, consider what General Jack Keane recently stated. He said that China has over 700,000 troops, all from different regions, putting down between 40 & 50,000 uprisings in China per year. Communism doesn’t work.

What a list. What a list of failures. It was that list of failures that @realDonaldTrump confronted on day 1 of his administration. The POTUS? The general? In America, the two are the same. Let's look at the list again. It's painful.

FDR & Truman - strong.
Eisenhower - weak.
Kennedy - weak.
Johnson - very weak.
Nixon - weak.
Carter - very weak.
Reagan - very strong.
Bush - terrible.
Clinton - terrible squared.
Bush W - strong then weak.
Obama - O. M. G.

What a list of generals.

When the general is strong, the nation is strong. Harrumph. We are, today, NOT a strong nation. We may have the largest, best military even still, and getting stronger. But we're weak, down from 15 aircraft carriers to 10. Weak.

What should America be? It should be a shining light upon a global hill. We are not. Not today, because of that list of weak generals. Reagan is the pattern breaker. With just 8 years what did he achieve. The victory of the Cold War. Me, idiot me? I didn't like him.

But I was just a young, idiot socialist at the time. I forgive myself. Reagan was a strong general, the best we've had since FDR, and that really is saying something. FDR was a socialist. Cutting back through Hoover and Coolidge, we find Wilson, the worst POTUS ever.

So I say again, in the voting booth, you are the general, and your vote matters. Consider this list. It's hellacious. It is only America herself that lives beneath the list who has saved us. And it is only @realDonaldTrump who gives us a shot at the future.

We're going to be just fine. Socialism, American Socialism will die. It is actually exhaling its final breath right now. I have socialist friends still. I love them. I respect them. You should too. But we must NOT allow it its hold, and we won't.

What we now know is that strong generals are free market capitalists. In this, we find our future. Our destiny. The legacy we fight for. This is what we must do to make America great again. We must preserve honest capitalism.

But we must also defeat our enemies, wherever they are, whomever they are, from evil states, to evil terrorists. There must be no longer any confusion. We follower our great generals to victory. We win.

We win.

Go figure.
