It is remarkable and reprehensible that the Cheneys and W are willing to sacrifice the nation they allegedly so love for personal animus. It speaks to the absolute moral bankruptcy of so many politicians whose major constituency is themselves.
Here’s my problem with grouping George W. Bush among these other clowns like the Cheneys and Kinzinger. I cannot shake the image of him standing on the pile of rubble that was the World Trade Center, bullhorn in hand and arm around a dusty fireman. It’s a great moment of American history, he rose to the occasion. I can envision Trump doing the same thing. Can you image Harris in the same situation?
And at least, GWB is not endorsing Harris, unlike these other bastards…
Not sure the Cheneys are even relevant. Dems that despise Trump might be happy that the Cheneys endorsed Kamala, but I doubt that any voter is swayed to vote for Kamala because of the Cheneys
As profoundly disappointing as the Bush administration was, and Bush/Cheney still are, I have to believe that a Gore or a Kerry administration would have been much worse. It's a shame when the best you can do with your vote is to keep choosing the least evil alternative instead of choosing a candidate that will actually make America better.
Riddle me this- upon the anniversary of 9/11, the “official” government report is getting shredded so much to the point that it is very plausible this was an inside job, from buildings collapsing for no good reason to the “claim” that a group of guys who probably couldn’t drive a car somehow were capable of flying jumbo jets into buildings with military precision. Now what does “W” look like? A patriot or a traitor?
THANK YOU, SHEILA. If it looks, walks, talks, and QUACKS LOUDLY FOR YEARS ON END, AND IS BACKED UP WITH FACTS, EVEN VIDEOS, AND ADMISSIONS OF GUILT AND CAUSE, SOME WILL NEED EVEN MORE, BUT WILL TALK ABOUT IT TO THE LAST DAY. THE BUSH CLAN, CHENEYS, AND SAUDIS WERE REGULAR PARTY GOERS IN TEXAS. BUT WAIT! MAYBE SOME FOLKS FROM THE PHILLIPINES CAUSED THE 9-11 AMERICAN TRAGEDY.... just ask Stephen, he worked for Motorola....i.e., a genius......NOT. He does like to show off his 'erudite vocabulary' in print.
I don't know why you insist on attacking another Christian conservative, Gayle, Why are you making this personal, and in front of non-believers? Is this the type of behavior Jesus would approve?
"It's a shame when the best you can do with your vote is to keep choosing the least evil alternative instead of choosing a candidate that will actually make America better."
You don't pay much attention to politics do ya? Tell me a race when in the last 230+ years when least evil alternative was Not your choice?
Ever read any history about them when they were in office/Running for office? Washington His monarchial style, Abraham Lincoln an Ape, Ronald Reagan A Dunce.
Ronald Reagan was among the best informed of all candidates for President when he ran for office. He was leader of the Screen Actors Guild when the communists tried to take over Hollywood. He was governor of California for two terms. He researched and wrote many analyses of current issues for his radio broadcasts in the 1970s that prepared him for what he faced as President.
Quite true of Reagan, Rfhirsch. For those interested in the Hollywood/communism nexus that I experienced personally at the beginning of my career, I recommend "Red Star over Hollywood" by Ron and Allis Radosh.
I remember where I was on 9/11. I was working for Motorola and our breakroom had a TV in it. A co-worker alerted us to what was happening, and as I saw the disaster unfold, I said in hearing of everyone around me, "Thank God George Bush is president." Al Gore would have have been another disaster handling it.
When Bush the second was on with Obama both bad mouthing Trump during his first Presidency it became clear Bush was not a friend to what the founding fathers stood for and the Republic they created. With Obama this was clear even before he was President if anybody took the time to look at his past.
Fun with Dick and George gave us decapitations as well as armless and legless soldiers.
George and Dick removed Saddam Hussein which gave Mesopotamia “purple fingers“ that resulted in Shiite control creating the fiefdom that R. Simon mentioned. Jimmy Carter removed the Shah. Later, Obama took out Muammar Gaddafi. Same song, same movie, more turmoil, different characters. Little Israel is fighting for its life both internally and externally. Europe is also fighting. Karl the Hammer is nowhere to be seen. Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi is on the scene (yeah, look that guy up).
As was mentioned you can not bring democracy to seventh century ideological religions or cultures any more you can teach a cat to bark. Is this cruel? No! Judgmental? Yes, but history is on the side of the countries nearly everyone is migrating to. A developer name Donald Trump was the bull in the china shop destroying fragile figurines featuring Dick and George, Bill Kristol and Paul Wolfowitz.
Kudos for alluding to the Liel Leibovitz piece.
As a discussion idea: Why are countries influenced by Judeo-Christianity better off than the rest of the world? The last two hundred years have given us electricity, planes, trains, automobiles as well as the plough, penicillin, iPhones, satellites, and those yellow post-its. No one goes to Djibouti or Gaza for treatment of AIDS or MPOX (which are NOT Pride diseases).
10-4 on the centuries of theological infighting and the ridiculous idea that we can change that. We need to get out of the middle east entirely, support Israel 110%, and start pumping our own oil.
We went to see Reagan as a family last night - we loved it (our 20 year olds LOVED it, too!)
As the end credits rolled w footage of Reagan's funeral - and we were all in tears - the thought struck me: no one will line the streets when W passes. He betrayed all of us who supported him, and even took abuse for doing so.
The left may be amused that he somewhat supports them by not voting for DJT, but they won't mourn his passing. At least I know now what I didn't know then. 🇺🇸
Having worked around the Middle East for a few years, as soon as I saw the “shock and awe” start, I remarked to my friends how damned stupid that was. Anyone who knows anything about the ME will support that view. When Rice declared that democracy would arrive in Iraq as the statue of Saddam was pushed over, I laughed. We still struggle with democracy after almost 250 years, how exactly did Rice and Bush think democracy would be instantaneously welcomed by a tribal country with a very low level of education for the masses?! Changing an entire society and culture takes time and you certainly don’t install it and depart. But, the US simply cannot learn from its foreign incursions and will likely continue to make the same mistakes - arrogance maybe??
Arrogance juiced by the huge $$ to be made by various interests while pursuing "regime change". One small example is Joe Biden's brother, who earned millions in ill considered housing schemes in the ME.
I feel like I am living in a country that I don’t recognize. I voted for Bush/Cheney and also Romney and McCain. How could we all have been so deceived. Perhaps those who voted for Obama, Biden and now, like the good commie sheep they are will vote for a woman who is so unqualified and downright unlikable. It is the media, and the elites who are to blame. They want us all broke and obedient. Is Trump, in your opinion any different? If he wins, (God willing), will he change things? I would like your honest assessment. Thank you for your knowledge and insight.
This is a great point. Seems to me that the MSM is a key cause of our current woes both culturally and politically.
More insight on this subject would be helpful. It seems like $$ is largely involved as well as our propagandistic educational system. What else from your experience, Mr. Simon?
Trump already changed things, much for the better. But the President isn't in charge of America. The unelected, ungoverned, and uncontrollable fourth branch of government, the "agencies," runs everything. Until Congress grows a pair and has enough conservatives to, by majority, defund the runaway three-letter, NOTHING WILL CHANGE!
I certainly hope Trump will change things, but logically there’s no other choice. We have two doors and behind one is four more years of craziness at best and national collapse at worst. Behind the other, the Trump door, maybe the same thing but maybe not, and that’s the key for me.
My belief is that without the Democrats and their four years of harassment, along with the deep state sabotage, and the cowardly RINO cohort, plus the media’s hounding, Trump could have accomplished great things. But Trump has a Protean ability to adapt.
For me, this is a Pascal’s Wager election. Only one vote is logical.
I have been conservative for most of my adult life. I am also a lifelong student of history. I began to sour on the Bush administration when Afghanistan turned into an effort to remake the country into a modern democracy. It took the English hundreds of years to develop representative government, with a big push happening in the American Revolution and its aftermath. You can't impose "democracy" on tribal peoples who have no traditions of it in their culture. Breaking Al Qaeda was necessary; staying for years and trying to build a "modern democracy" in a tribal society was a waste of lives and money.
I've neglected commenting for fear your connect-the-dots excellence would stop. Washington silos and silo masters need to show their interconnections, as you are doing so well. Washington Chess is a tiresome "all rooks and no bishops."
“What we suffer from today is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition and settled upon the organ of conviction, where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. We are on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
Seems as though the Cheneys and Bush suffer from this reversal...disappointing. Especially given the fact that Harris is an incompetent, mentally modest in the extreme, neo-Marxist. Heaven help the world if she wins!
George BUSH is the last HUGE NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF THE BUSH FAMILY LEGACY. GOOD RIDDANCE. NOW HE IS JUST A PESKY TINY HEADED THORN IN A FINGER. ADIOS BUSH FAMILY, ANTI AMERICANS WHO FLEECED US ALL TO THE 'HIGHEST LEVEL. WHAT IS GEORGE DOING NOW? STILL READING A NURSERY RHYMES TO PRE-SCHOOLERS? THAT IS SCARY ON SO MANY LEVELS. I HOPE HE GOES TO A REAL CHURCH SOON, AS HE IS PROBABLY LOSING THE MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE OF HIS LIFE....NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS, WHERE HE HAS FAILED MISERABLY. WHY DOES HE THINK WE WILL EVER FORGET WHAT HE DID?
As always, your articles are relevant and just a great pleasure to read. I have often thought about how in the world can Cheney and his daughter, get so deep under the bed-sheets with the crazy left Dems? Your article gave me the answer. Yes, it is the legacy of Dick and W, that was besmirched by Trump and that of course is grave. Hence the fierce defense by his daughter, going so far as loosing her Senate seat! And yes, I don't need to repeat it, MLR just posted it very accurately. Much too often, politicians are just about themselves.
America is a fissiparous nation, something I personally believe was accelerated under Obama because he used race for friction instead of the healing he promised at the outset. But I have recently come around to the personal belief that race is no longer as divisive in America as economic class is. The outstanding example of this for me is how the super-rich have meddled in elections. This is not new, but it is perhaps more pervasive because of the liberal (they would say "progressive") bent of the nouveau riche. See Silicon Valley as example A, although people like Peter Thiel might illustrate that liberals don't entirely dominate.
Anyway, I would love to expand upon this theme, but will probably not. So over to you! The two of you are welcome to the idea, if you'd like to explore how economic class has usurped race as the new friction point in American society. Interested?
An interesting question, Jackie. I find my mind moving along on an idea for a while, but then stopping as I think to myself "there's a word for that -- it starts with 'f', I think." My mind has a word, but it takes me a few seconds to bring it out. I usually put this down to age, but perhaps it is just part of the writing process, as in "there's a word that describes something that is coming apart" and all I have to do is remember it.
Factious and fragmented did not come into my mind as I was searching for the word, because both imply something that has already happened, while fissiparous has the sense of something that is started and increasing, like that crack on your windshield that starts with a little chip on the passenger side so you can ignore it, but grows over the space of the summer so you know you have to get it repaired in the fall before you go in for your annual car inspection.
America -- more precisely the United States -- is moving in the direction of coming apart, but it has not gotten there yet, and I mull this over because I have a strong interest in not seeing it turn into another Rwanda. FWIW, I was stationed in Nairobi when Rwanda fragmented (there, I said it), and it was horrible beyond words. We were not able to get a lot of information, but what we were hearing over the missionary radio network was unbelievable. The most common weapon of death and dismemberment was a long-handled, heavy, agricultural hoe. If you can imagine that, you can appreciate how that country was torn apart into pieces -- already fragmented when the genocide began.
All of which is a long way to say 'fissiparous' came into my head after a pause of half a minute or so, and it seemed to fit what I was trying to describe. Had I been trying to describe what happened in Rwanda, 'fragmented' would likely have come into my head. I think.
Actually, I have written about that seminal book several times. Shelby is a friend of mine for a number of years, as is his son Eli with whom he makes some very worthwhile documentaries.
It is remarkable and reprehensible that the Cheneys and W are willing to sacrifice the nation they allegedly so love for personal animus. It speaks to the absolute moral bankruptcy of so many politicians whose major constituency is themselves.

And at least, GWB is not endorsing Harris, unlike these other bastards…
Bush has shown himself aligned with the Blob. The Bush family as well. Such a disappointment as I (and many others) feel betrayed by them.
He’s only inserting the knife, not twisting it like the Cheneys…
Not sure the Cheneys are even relevant. Dems that despise Trump might be happy that the Cheneys endorsed Kamala, but I doubt that any voter is swayed to vote for Kamala because of the Cheneys
W hasn't endorsed the retarded hyena YET...

"W" is neither because I reject your groundless, speculative, cultic premise.

I certainly don't disagree.
Now discuss how he threw open the doors to illegal immigration, the number one issue in this race.
I remember the Reagan debates, when he thoroughly defeated the "narrative" that he was not up to the job intellectually.
But That Was Not The Narrative.
I suppose you thought JFK and Clinton were amazing, huh?
WORSE THAN 9-11?
I remember where I was on 9/11. I was working for Motorola and our breakroom had a TV in it.

Why not just say factious or fragmented?

Please write a script outline of President Harris' first 100 days in office.
Day one: laugh like a hyena
Day two: chortle like a drunk wine mom
Day three: go on natTV and spew alphabet soup for 30 minutes
When a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear, does it make a sound?
When articles and interviews appear in/on right leaning media do those who need to , hear or see it?
..depends on the ADS and whether the interview lasts longer than 3 minutes... morons have very busy lives now... and lots of money to spend.
Roger and Sheryl, I was wondering if you could do a piece on the degree to which white guilt is a motivating factor on the Left.
See Shelby Steele's book. I think it is a strong motivator
Yes, that's a good book on the subject.
Actually, I have written about that seminal book several times. Shelby is a friend of mine for a number of years, as is his son Eli with whom he makes some very worthwhile documentaries.
