Trump Stands His Ground –

Fires Secretary of the Navy
Pentagon chief fires Navy secretary over SEAL controversy

President Donald Trump announced that Ambassador to Norway KEN BRAITHWAITE would be nominated to replace Secretary of the Navy, Richard Spencer.
“A man of great achievement and success, I know Ken will do an outstanding job!” Trump wrote. on Twitter

Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Sunday fired the Navy’s top official, ending a stunning clash between President Donald Trump and top military leadership over the fate of a SEAL accused of war crimes in Iraq.
Esper said he had lost confidence in Navy Secretary Richard Spencer and alleged that Spencer proposed a deal with the White House behind his back to resolve the SEAL’s case. Trump has championed the matter of Navy Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher, who was acquitted of murder in the stabbing death of an Islamic State militant captive but convicted of posing with the corpse while in Iraq in 2017

This country has taken a dangerous turn. It as if many do not accept who the "COMMANDER IN CHIEF" is and the authority he has.

Obama, gutted the military, and fired 197 military officers in 5 years. Trump fires ONE and the media looses their mind

Well as you know, this old site doesn't have an edit feature. But I am pretty sure, you know what I mean.

The media and/or the Left reacts as if every move of POTUS and/or his administration requires a consultation or concenus or a vote or permission from them.

And now they seem to think the military, police, border patrol, ICE, the Department of Imigration and a hell of a lot of other Federal and state agencies, do as well.

Fire the Admirals to Encourage the Others

UPDATE: After this column was written, the Los Angeles Times reported: “U.S. Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer denied a New York Times report Saturday that he had threatened to resign or be fired if President Trump intervenes to stop an administrative review of a SEAL at the center of a botched war crimes court-martial.” But if he doesn’t put an end to this mini-mutiny pronto, the president should still Schiffcan him.

FURTHER UPDATE: And Trump fired the bum (through the Defense Secretary). Good riddance. 


This a great rant ... but a very lenghty and detailed one. Worth the read.
