- Make something up to malign someone
- Have a friendly failing publication publish it
- Bandy it about extensively as “it is reported that . . .”
WELL, HOW ABOUT IT READERS? YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THE LATEST ANONYMOUS DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN SLANDER OF PRESIDENT TRUMP?…OR, DO YOU PREFER TO BELIEVE WHAT YOUR OWN HEART KNOWS AND YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN?
General Keith Kellogg, national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, also defended the president, saying, “The Atlantic story is completely false. Absolutely lacks merit. I’ve been by the President’s side. He has always shown the highest respect to our active duty troops and veterans with utmost respect paid to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and those wounded in battle.”
Veterans: Give Us Your Views on This Latest Democrat/Media Hoax
What has been blasted out to the American people by the liberal media, in full support of the Democratic Party for the past several days may be, in my view, the lowest, most contemptible , dirty political campaign tactic in modern American history.
The Democrats had created ads using the lies in The Atlantic article maligning Trumps views of veterans prior to publication. Why it was almost like it was planned or something.
Constructed by the biggest contributors to the Democratic Party, in support of some of its worst (in every way) candidates, and especially to the campaign of truly, the most pitiful, pathetic presidential candidate ever put forth by a major political party in our history, this latest slander is off the contemptibility scale.
Begin with the fact that the Atlantic Magazine is a failing enterprise that not even the rich elites, the only subscribers who claim to read it, can save it.
It’s a publication owned by the wealthy widow of Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs, who is described as a “billionaire philanthropist” and “mega donor” to the Biden campaign. To the Biden ‘philanthropic’ cause, “Widow Jobs” has donated over $1.2 million; She’s given ‘maxed out’ donations to countless other Dem politicians since the start of 2019. Sources say that her contributions to GOP candidates total zero!
Powell Jobs inherited a 70% stake in the Atlantic magazine in 2017. She maintains “frequent communications” with its current editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
THIS STORY HAS ALSO EXPOSED ONE OF FOX’S RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE WEEKEND ‘FOX & FRIENDS’ SHOW AND EMBARRASSED ONE OF ITS VETERAN REPORTERS
“…losers and suckers…” Uh, let’s see… “verifiedlooks like the story’s
At least to Fox News’ recent addition to its weekend morning team, “Jedediah Bila”. In addition to dismissing the significance of the apparent partisan influence on the reporting, Ms. Bila also lauded Jennifer Griffin* for her work in “verifying a part of the story”. As pointed out by F&F’s co-anchor Pete Hegseth, Griffin amateurishly cited the comments of her ‘anonymous’ sources to back up the story of Atlantic’s “anonymous” sources.
“It looks as though this is just a way to milk more money out of the idiots who fell for the earlier scandals.” Lynn Chu thinks the vets are not buying it:
“A lot of outraged military guys called in to radio shows today saying that the Obama administration treated the military with undisguised contempt and that the difference between those 8 years and these 4 is night and day. I think anyone sensible knows this is a cheesy lie. Like the Kavanagh lies.”

Let’s see:
1) the story that President Trump called our fallen military heroes “losers” and “suckers” was published by an incredibly partisan, shamelessly unprofessional magazine which is published by elites for elites, most of which are rich liberals.
2) It is based supposedly on the recollections, after 2 years, of some (4) “anonymous figures serving or having served in the Trump administration”.
3) the story is refuted by al least a dozen members or former members of the Trump administration, speaking ON THE RECORD!
4) Every action related to our military, taken by President Trump since he became president , has been to the benefit of the members or former members of the US military. Increased pay for military, major improvements in delivery of medical care by the VA for former military, major increases in the armed forces budget, major improvements in the readiness and training and weaponry of our military.
In every public appearance, no president has been more supportive of our military personnel than President Trump. Every action, every speech, every statement by Donald Trump has shown a deep affection for our armed forces personnel, those actively serving, its fallen heroes, and its veterans.
5) It is easy to contrast the very positive actions on behalf of our military and our service personnel by President Trump with those of his predecessor. Navy veterans and current active duty people can certainly attest to the damage the OBAMA-Biden administration did. Cuts in budget, the numerous collisions of our elite naval vessels, the diversion of scarce funds for climate change purposes (expensive ‘reusable’ fuel, at 10x the cost of conventional fuel), rewriting of regulations to accommodate social experimentation; the decrease in readiness of navy fighting vessels due to introduction of females in large numbers, reportedly followed by numerous crew vacancies due to pregnancies; elite combat units of the USMC seriously affected by changes resulting in introduction of transgender and female members, alleged to ‘improve’ unit ‘cohesiveness’. In our opinion, Obama-Biden showed its contempt for the military even in the silliest ways…rewriting at significant expense military manuals and service literature for reasons of ‘proper gender’ designation (ie. “Marine “rifle person” instead of “rifleman”, “infantry persons”, etc).
It should still rankle all serving, retired, and veteran military people that the US Marines had to surrender their weapons before being “allowed” to leave the ‘closed’ US Embassy in Yemen dlh
Broken Regulations: US Marines hold umbrellas during light rain for US President Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
We’ve never forgotten Obama’s use of a full-dress US Marine to hold an umbrella for the Commander-in-Chief so he wouldn’t be ‘drenched’ by a light drizzle as he gave a meaningless Rose Garden speech.
Full dress U.S.Marines ordered to hold umbrellas for “two losers”…so that Obama and friend don’t get sprinkled on?! dlh
DID YOU SAY ERDOGAN???? (That’s Obama’s ‘true friend’…not America’s!)
MARINES SURRENDER WEAPONS BEFORE YEMEN EVACUATION
11 Feb 2015
Military.com | By Richard Sisk
U.S. Embassy Marines in Yemen handed over their M-9 pistols and M-4 carbines before evacuating the chaotic country with diplomatic personnel, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
The Marines also left behind several vehicles at the airport in the capital city of Sanaa before departing on a civilian flight, said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.
Warren said the Marines destroyed their machine guns and other crew-served weapons before leaving the Embassy for the airport. He also said that it was unclear who now had custody of the weapons and vehicles that were surrendered.
A Marine spokesman could not immediately say whether the surrender of weapons by Embassy Marines in an evacuation was unprecedented.
The Marines “destroyed their crew served weapons. They left their personal weapons behind,” Warren said, but he could not say whether the Houthi rebels who have taken over much of the country now had the weapons and vehicles left by the Marines.

* A former senior Trump administration official confirmed some of the report to Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, while other Fox News sources have disputed other claims in the article. Griffin’s source revealed that the president called the Vietnam War a “stupid war” and that anyone who went was a “sucker.”
