RE: George W. Bush
One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s. This cost me friends and exposed me to relentless personal attacks. I defended his CHARACTER. I thought what I was doing was right. I was wrong.
I did not believe—and still do not believe—that he “lied” us into the war in Iraq. My belief was and is based on my knowledge of classified pre-war intelligence and my service early in the war on the Iraqi base that was most suspected to include WMD storage.
I defended Bush against “Bush lied, people died.” I defended Bush against “Chimpy McBushitler” and all of the other spurious Democrat insults that served only to undermine the war effort I had been fighting.
But while I defended Bush, he NEVER defended himself.
Then, when a true Marxist was elected President in the form of the worst human being to occupy the Oval Office since Woodrow Wilson (i.e., Barack Obama), Bush was SILENT. He never, ever spoke out against Obama, and even cozied up to him and Michelle, which I assumed was part of the tradition of former Presidents never criticizing their successors. (I was wrong in my assumption.)
THEN Donald Trump was elected President by America and suddenly Bush found his voice in criticizing serving Presidents. Why would he do this to a member of his own party other than because Trump was an outsider determined to dismantle the tyranny of the federal administrative state?
I now know that George W. Bush is a Deep State charlatan of extremely low character. Allegiance to the Deep State and The Swamp trumps any allegiance he may have ever had to his own party, the United States of America, the Constitution, or the American people.
He is despicable.
Surprisingly, I now find him more objectionable than the other Presidents in this picture. At least they let us know who they actually were.

🚨 SICKENING: A 3-year-old boy was thrown into a crocodile enclosure by a 30 yr old man in the UK and brutally mauled in what authorities are calling a random attack.
The man has been charged with attempted murder!
Police are not naming the suspect at this time.
Immigrant?
My gosh. The people doing this are pure evil.
There’s a new trend called the “Austin Bop,” where they dance to a song made about Austin Metcalf’s death.
The dance to the song is them reenacting the stabbing.
WTF is wrong with these people…
Man serving life in prison killed 3 child sex offenders.
When asked about it he said:
“The taxpayers no longer have to pay for them. I’m paying my debt to society.”
On June 13, 1948, a dying man put on his old uniform one last time, used his bat as a cane to stand up, and broke the heart of every baseball fan in America.
It was Yankee Stadium's 25th anniversary, "The House That Ruth Built." Babe Ruth was there to have his No. 3 retired, only the second number the Yankees ever retired after Lou Gehrig. But everyone in the crowd of nearly 50,000 could see it. The Babe was wasting away from throat cancer. He was thin, frail, and wrapped in a heavy wool overcoat in June because he was always cold now.
He walked out into the roar leaning on a bat like an old man's cane. When he spoke, the booming voice was gone, reduced to a painful rasp. But he stood. He tipped his cap. He soaked in the love one final time.
A photographer named Nat Fein didn't shoot the usual photo from the front. He moved behind Ruth and captured the Babe from the back, number 3, shoulders stooped, facing the crowd and the field he ruled. He titled it "The Babe Bows Out." It won the Pulitzer Prize, the first sports photo ever to do so.
Two months later Ruth was dead at 53.
78 years ago today, the greatest to ever play it said goodbye.
