Today is June the 6th, D Day...The day millions of Americans risked all to bring freedom the Europe.
I seriously doubt that those American soldiers who fought and died that day had any idea their country would one day lose those hard won freedoms by betrayal from within...
The biggest threat to this nation is not the Chinese, the Russians or the terrorists. It is a Congress that refuses to rein in an out of control President, due to partisan party politics or worse.
July 25, 1974 was the last time I respected the United States Congress. A bi-partisan Congress started an impeachment on a sitting President and those members of that Congress followed their oaths of office and not their party leaders…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDcYiyF5eLc Watch this link….It is one of the best speeches ever given in Congress.
Shortly after it Richard Nixon then resigned the Presidency. He made a decision based on what was best for the country once he realized the Congress was not going to play partisan politics…
December 19, 1998 The House of Representatives impeached President Clinton for perjury and obstruction of Justice.
The Senate, which you were a member on failed in its duty that day due to partisan politics and Senators voting along party lines…
That was the last time I trusted the US Senate…and now the Clinton s are back.
Since then the disease has spread and all of the Congress and the power elite are above the laws of this nation...
How else is the leading candidate for one of major political parties not in prison or even charged after admitting to violations of the espionage act? Under this Act you go to prison even for unintended mistakes, not that anyone believes they were mistakes in this case.
The President has refused to follow the oath of office he took to defend and obey the Constitution...He has in fact ordered the Justice Department, ICE and Homeland Security to ignore the laws of this country.
I believe the FBI has enough evidence to convict MS Clinton under the RICO Act as well... I suspect that evidence is going to come out into the open no matter who orders otherwise. The nation waits for the AG to place the charges and many suspect she will not on order of the President, again in violation of his duties...
So tell us why you have not done anything about any of this in violation of your oath of office... to protect and defend...that you have held for over 30 years.
You are the Majority Leader of the of the United States Senate. Step up....
When are you going to do something?

Senator McConnell, Sir,
Does the Congress plan to so anything to try to restrain the Supreme Court in the abuse of its authority? The SCOTUS has in effect taken over the power of legislation with many of their recent decisions.

What can we do to get more Active Duty to vote? Seems to me when I was in, we got in formation twice daily and if anything was really important, we were told about it or we were marched somewhere to do something (like immunizations for example) Why doesn't the military think its important enough to march soldiers, sailors and airmen directly to a voting booth on election day? If they decline to fill out a ballot then so be it but at least he was given every available opportunity. Rarely in the civilian world do you get to vote for your own boss so take advantage of it! I'll almost bet that everyone gets their tax forms force-fed to them. Why not a ballot? They should make voting worth points or at least have competitions to see what post/brigade/battalion/company votes the most (percentage wise).

SGT Donnie Goodson
I haven't been enlisted for 23 years. I have no access to VAO's. I'm just curious if information is even discussed at the Unit Level that "hey, folks. It's Oct. 1st. If you want to vote for your next Commander in Chief, you must see the Lt. today to ensure you are registered in your state and ballots are requested." and/or "hey, folks. Its Nov. 1st. Your ballots have to be sent in 5 days for your vote to be counted." Most of these kids are straight out of high school, are not registered and have never voted and I doubt very seriously that the importance is impressed upon any of them with the same vigor as, say, needing to shave. It only comes around every two years and the precentages are pitiful. Less than 25% even request a ballot and only about 15% of the military casts a vote that actually gets counted due to not filling it out, not filling it out on time and/or not filling it out correctly.
At the Federal level, questions for Mr. McConnell (et al) would be, "how can we make it just as easy for troops to vote as it is for Donnie Goodson?" All I have to do is walk down to the same old polling place any time on Nov 8th and check off a few boxes. 15 minutes and I'm done.

Are we going to be a country of interventionalists or isolationists? From my perspective, it seems that we can do neither very well right now. Either rally up to fortify and defend the homeland or spread the hell out and fight to win. Personally, I think we can be good at either one if we really wanted to.

Why aren't the Republican party leaders rallying around Trump? If you on Capital Hill don't like all his policies isn't he a better choice than HRC?

When will you all start to hold people accountable for their actions (or inactions?), other than a dog and pony show from the Oversight Committee, I have yet to see anything actually happen to the clowns that are running these organizations. IE; IRS, VA leadership..etc., why is it impossible to fire a Government Civilian?
