Re: The Fall f the United States, The End
Yes, there are homeless people in every city and town. Always has been
Some deal with it, and some like to give lip service and then encourage more liberal policies that create more of it. I've been to LA many times in the past, but have never, ever seen huge encampments of homeless like we see now . Just more evidence that MJ is correct in his pronouncement ...All caused by one failed ideology... Liberalism.

Re: The Fall f the United States, The End
Failed ideologies fall on both side of the spectrum but there’s little doubt that the left leaning ones have accounted for far more human suffering. The body count attributable to Mao and Stalin is staggering. Hitler was a choir boy by comparison.
Eddie, I held DOE “Q” as well as DOD Secret clearances and while the abuse of those privileges is disappointing it’s not particularly surprising. Vietnam provided clear evidence of the deceit exercised by those in power with the singular intent of maintaining and strengthening their power.

My time in the Corps I not only safe guarded classified material at two American Embassies. I have held a TS clearance with CNWDI access, had a CMS account that held two man control SAS/PAL. I have authenticated EAMs on a monthly basis. As Security Manager/ Special Weapons Officer, I have trained personnel and received two NWAI and two NTPI inspections with no discrepancies noted. When I see what happened of late makes me wonder what damage to national security has taken place. Did you ever see classified material store in anything less that a Class 6 safe?

Re: The Fall f the United States, The End
As a moderate the extreme factions are repulsive to me as well but as the country becomes increasingly polarized our parties seem to drift farther apart. So where does it end? And no, classified materials are signed out and they reside in a safe when not in use, and certainly overnight.

During the budget debate, these guys were called extremists and far right in the fake news media, and on Fox News, with that country lovin' cowboy from Long Island, Sean Vanity. I call them mainstream conservatives. Proud to say we have four members in MAGA country , Arizona. "The House Freedom Caucus is a congressional caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. According to the group's official Facebook page, "The House Freedom Caucus gives a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them. We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety and prosperity of all Americans."

Re: The Fall f the United States, The End
Yak, I wouldn’t describe either ‘side’ as “extreme” currently. Rocking the boat is an absolute necessity, finding balance is the trick. Stagnant thinking stinks, just know this movement further and further apart cannot end well. Also think the radical left is the greater danger and is more removed from true American values.

Re: The Fall f the United States, The End
Classified material is overrated. Move on. Not one significant item in the intelligence area that is not know by people the shouldn't. I laughed at the discovery of attack plans in the "discovery" at Mar a Lago. Shoot Ed, I know a former E5 and O3 that could draft top secret attack plans.
