First act by every elected democrat is to pay back AIPAC money before running for reelection.

why did hegseth fire General Randy George

It’s worse than you might have imagined.

The firing of General Randy George by pete hegseth for not going along with racist and discriminatory acts.

Pentagon pete’s Bigoted Reason for Firing Top General Leaks

Hegseth went on a firing spree on Thursday, with a concerning motivation for pushing out the Army chief of staff. Cameron Adams, Reporter

George was removed because he and Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll refused to remove two Black and two female officers from a list of military members to be promoted to one-star generals.

George and Driscoll defied Hegseth, according to The New York Times, and cited the long and exemplary service of the four officers as justification for their being in line for promotion.

General Randy A. George is a career infantry officer who served as the 41st Chief of Staff of the United States Army from September 2023 until April 2026. Nominated by President Biden, he was focused on modernizing the Army, incorporating drone technology, and transforming the force for large-scale combat before being asked to step down by Defense Secretary pete hegseth (bone spurs). 4/2026, National Archives.

Truth and reconcilliation are not mutually exclusive. You can only have reconcilliation when the truth is known, which requires accountability. It requires acknowledgement and atonement and a desire by all parties to choose an agreed path to correct the wrongs together.

I use the term 'reconcilliation' in describing how we should come together, but it should be understood how it is defined. It is the process of making something consistent and compatible and that cannot occur without accountability -- to do so, would still leave one party agrieved of their interests.

There are legitimate ways to achieve this through actionable policy initiatives with associated measurable deliverables. I'm not looking for campaign promises; I'm looking for results in the form of investments in communities, delivered by the leaders of those communities. This means that this accountability would be universally applied.

I hope that this clears it up for some naysayers.

I would like to offer Reform be included in the Truth and Reconciliation process. Enjoy your writing and ideas.

It really worked out well having Merrick the Meek as AG when we needed an iron strong lawyer/ prosecutor to deal with 1/6, his thugs trashed Congress, his VP almost hanged high on Capitol Hill. And now look where we are.

Jack Smith for Attorney General. emergency situation.

The President Of The United States should be limited to one term of four years. Term Limits org . Fix The Court com.

There are plenty of well qualified people who would like to do that job, and who would be good at it.

The country deserves better results. Taking away the need to get reelected to that office would free the President from having concerns that his or her decisions will have negative impacts on getting reelected. Better results for the country.

I greive that it took all of this to make people believe their vote counted. Of the three major drivers in the last election, not showing up had the most impact. Men couldn't stomach a woman as Commander in Chief, and Hispanic people believed they were safe. P2025 couldn't have asked for a better set up.
