    What I have read is that she agreed to this and President Trump refused. It would be at the end of this month and really would serve no beneficial purpose for him to do this. It would just be the usual time in front of TV cameras for her to say the same verified lies over and over again.
    So, they have now scheduled her to do an interview with Bret Blair, probably the worst on Fox (although none are very good anymore, except for gutfield. I like him, always have. )
    Anyway, they will video and edit it before anything is shown to the public.

    Yeah, I don't think Trump has a thing to gain from this. So he probably shouldn't bother.

    Did anyone watch the Trump townhall with all women this morning? I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I have to say that those women had such great questions for him. They were much better (very specific) questions than any of the MSM debate nonsense. Also, I like Harris Faulkner and she did a great job.

    I watch Harris every morning. She is tough but fair. This women's special was my favorite. Great questions and good answers by Trump. Fox really put together a great show including the backdrop and crowd arrangement. I hope it results in women seeing Kamala is just a puppet and is controlled by powerful men.

    A couple of other things I’d like to mention.

    Milley wears a Ranger patch which indicates that he went through that school at some point in his career.
    According to the books, he did indeed go to Ranger school in 2015 which would put him at around 40 years old going through a school that a majority of 20 year old soldiers can’t pass.
    His history also said he went through that school at Ft. Benning. Jump school is at Benning. Most of the Ranger training is at Bragg.
    In other words, he was a walk through.

    Also, he wears an Active Combat Infantry badge with a star which indicates that he ACTIVELY participated in ground combat missions via multiple deployments.
    To wit, many high ranking officers have themselves assigned to combat units in order to grab unit citations as well as maneuvering themselves into situations that are close to combat but relatively safe.

    In other words, whilst he does wear and in some ways probably did earn those 4 stars, he’s also a BS artist as well and didn’t really earn many of the citations he wears.

    I think the female CNO is also a walk-through on some of her "combat" awards if she has any at all.

    She’s commanded a couple of ships but hasn’t really spent any time confronted with live battle situations from what I’ve seen so far.
    But, to be fair, she did graduate from the Naval War College with a masters degree in Security and Strategic something or other.
    To all that though, I’m sure there are Naval officers out there with far more war experience but there’s gotta be a first time for everything so she gets to be the 1st woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs.

    I’m sure Trump will have some questions if and when he gets tight in the saddle at the White House.

    I think I told the story of an acquaintance who is a naval surface officer. He said there could be 100 officers on some of the ships on which he served, but only 5 or 6 actually knew what they were doing. He got so frustrated that he left the surface fleet and transferred into intelligence to get away from it. He felt it was a disaster waiting to happen on every ship on which he served. I have noticed quite an increase in groundings of late. DEI?

    I don't know. He didn't say that I recall. I think they were chosen for things other than competence though.

    Apparently Trump is on fire at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation tonight (where Kamala is absent but has been permitted to submit a recorded message.)

    Yes. They came down on Trump for not accepting the election in 2020. I think I would be safe to bet that the Dems' reaction to losing will be a lot worse. Of course, do they know that the dems just said that the military can now fire on American citizens?
