One of the most important and necessary voices in our country. Read all that you can on the Secretary and his thoughts and his message for America.

Mr. Gates has served his country well BUT, though he is clearly not supportive of Donald Trump, he cannot bring himself to suggest directly not to vote for him.

Secondly, she gave him an opportunity to speak freely about his support, or lack thereof, of Donald Trump and he politely declined to go there. As the interviewer, not the interviewee, nobody cares what she thinks, and her job is not to become the focus of the interview. I applaud her for not engaging in activist journalism.

Bob Gates is absolutely right. Western governments and especially ours talk too much. What happened to the elements of surprise in a war? I was taken aback last year when western governments and Ukraine themselves continually talked about their offensive and were naïvely dismissive of the Russian’s preparations.

I am a centrist Democrat. I’d never vote for Trump. President Biden has done a good job as president but he has not been able to get that point across in almost four years. Is it his age? Is it how old he looks? All I know is that preventing Trump from getting a second presidency is too important to leave to such an obviously weak candidate and campaign. No-one can tell you what 4 more years of Biden would be. Nor can they tell you what 3.5 years of Biden has been. President Biden and Vice President Harris should gracefully bow out. Kamala Harris should be nominated for the Supreme Court. It is time to draft California Governor Newsom at the convention. Pete Buttigieg or someone else can be his vice president. They should run on a slogan “Middle Class Time is Now,” and run on the following issues: #1 Big Middle Class Tax Cut #2 Bring down the Cost of Living 1. Bring house prices down by getting more housing built 2. Beat Inflation #3 Fight for Freedom and the Rule of Law 1. More Defense spending to grow our Navy and fight against the global menace of Authoritarianism. 2. Make Roe the Law of the land 3. Fight for the Rule of Law at home and abroad upholding the Rules Based International System. #4 Safe America: 1. Hire 100,000 more cops to fight crime. 2.
