How could anyone who wants to be the leader of the most powerful country on the planet, the leader of the free world, ever justify not standing on stage for a one on one live debate? Who besides a pajama boy would ever vote for a coward too afraid to leave his basement and face his opponent? A traditional debate will happen. It has to happen. Biden's people must know this. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

^^^^^ Oh...I get your point, Alan. You're discounting that 50% of this country are snowflakes that go running for their safe space if you yell at them. Thing is, Biden doesn't have to justify a friggin' thing. His "pajama boys" will do the justifying for him. That's the thing...Biden will NEVER be culpable nor will he ever be put in that position. Just look how the Left has deflected all the allegations against Tara Reade. THEY...carry his water for him and the snowflakes ride that train without a second thought toward morality. All they know is "Orange Man Bad"... ![]() "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

Your certainty is interesting. I hope you’re right. Hell, I’d even watch that debate as the humor value would be epic. Still, I can’t help thinking that Hiden Biden’s handlers would be at least excommunicated, if not exterminated, for felony malpractice if they allowed a live debate. Let’s face it, the poor guy is running on one brain cell, and it only fires intermittently and then often in the wrong direction. | |||

THe debate will be on the left’s terms. Bidet will have the questions in advance and the moderators will be hand picked and questions rehearsed. Typical DNC actions. | |||

Catherine Herridge posts interesting tweet showing UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) highlighting important information concerning “contempt towards officials” I didn’t know that even retired members of military are subject to court martial when speaking “contemptuous words Against the President” Odd how she seemed to randomly highlight this military law right after this interesting issue involving General Mattis. Wonder if he is aware of this? Wonder if there are source leaks to her of what might be in store for Mattis, McMaster and other players. Curious indeed. https://twitter.com/CBS_Herrid.../1269345227703234560 | |||

Herridge is fully aware and highlighted those sections specifically in response to Mattis. He needs to be court martialed and have his retirement taken away after a stint in Leavenworth. University of Chicago professor using Mattis as an excuse to openly call for a military coup followed by a sham election.

Seems to focus on "commissioned officers". Is Mattis, even retired, still a "commissioned officer"?

Not just commissioned officers, there is an explicit category for any retired individuals. Mattis is included in this: ![]() “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Yes, retired officers still retain their commission for life, and their rank, unless it is taken away though court-martial, or they resign it. "Ride to the sound of the big guns." | |||

Supposedly we don’t receive a pension when we retire. Instead it’s “reduced pay for reduced service.” The military differs between retainer and retired pay. “ Retired pay and retainer pay are considered the same by the law as the amount of retainer pay and retired pay an individual receives are unvarying.” Oliver North ran into this when he was convicted his pension stopped as he could no longer serve on active duty. “ Though it does not occur often, military retirees of all ages can be recalled to active duty to face court-martial charges. Generally, the civilian justice system processes military retirees acting with misconduct.“ Three categories utilized by the Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 1352.1 separate veterans, with those most likely to be recalled under Category I. These categories are: Category I: Nondisabled military retirees under the age of 60 who have been retired less than five years. This category is disposed to be recalled during times of war, national emergency, or “needs of the service”. Category II: Nondisabled military retirees under the age of 60 who have been retired five years or more. Category III: Military retirees age 60 or older and those retired for disability. https://va.org/retainer-vs-retired/ “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | |||

I believe some of these issues are dependent to some degree on the “regular component” status of the individual. When I was on active duty and after the draft was discontinued, most enlisted soldiers were part of the Regular Army rather than the reserve component or what was earlier called the Army of the United States (AUS). Most officers, however, were not in the RA which, I believe, had a ceiling on its size. I was “RA” throughout my enlisted time, but after several years as a warrant officer I also became eligible to request appointment to the Regular Army. I did, but most of my warrant peers did not. That was a long time ago, and perhaps everything has changed since. I know nothing, though, about the equivalence of any of that in the Marine Corps. I would assume that Mattis was part of the regular component of the USMC. ► 6.4/93.6 | |||

Dosen't matter, as a retired member of the armed forces we are still drawing a paycheck from uncle sugar and as a matter of that we are still subject to UCMJ. | |||

seen at CTH I have only watched a few minutes so far, but I have seen enough to post here and highly recommend. This interview is w Richard Grenell, former Acting Director of National Intelligence & Former US Ambassador to Germany "Richard first gives an insider’s take on what exactly the “deep state” is. He shares how the DC elites make decisions for the rest of America while bearing little to no consequences for them. Richard discusses how Donald Trump has functioned as a disrupter to the way that Washington DC operates" Grenell: "Intelligence is an estimate" What a true statement. Much more than most people understand. Grenell " The obama administration weaponized the intelligence agencies to go after their political enemies " Said by someone who has led DNI | |||

I would love to see him subject to charges for violating UCMJ for his comments, but it will never happen. | |||

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he will be voting for former Vice President Joe Biden. “I certainly cannot, in any way, support President Trump this year.” Sen Tom Cotton: I respect Colin Powell’s service and he’s entitled to his opinion, like every other American. But he hasn’t voted Republican for sixteen years . Apparently John McCain and Mitt Romney were “too extreme” for Secretary Powell. | |||
