Tidewater News and Opinion Forum
A place for civil discussion of the events of the day for Tidewater residents without the limitations imposed by media forums.
The Trump administration was “… an administration uniquely unsuited to meet the demands of a pandemic.”
That has to be the understatement of the year!
Even I was surprised to learn that Trump lied about having tested positive for COVID when he met with Chris Christie to prepare for the Presidential debates. He gave Christie the virus and then, true to form, blamed Christie for having given him the virus.
Sig Sauer is about to release the MCX-SPEAR, which is the civilian version of the US Army’s new Next Generation Squad Weapon-Rifle (NGSW-R). It is estimated that SIG Sauer has already sent out between 2,500 and 5,000 of the weapons to their elite dealers—and they were an instant hit, despite costing $8,000. What’s out there is already bought out but I’m sure you can get on the waiting list.
What’s so special about this weapon?
So yeah, it defeats body armor and turns little children into red mist. But don’t worry. At $8K per gun, teenage school shooters won’t be able to afford it. Unless, or course, Mommy or Daddy buys it for them for Christmas. The militias will be able to afford them. And the bad guys with guns will have them… so good luck to the good guys with hand guns.
LET FREEDUMB RING!
Rep. Jamie Raskin said it best, “American carnage is Donald Trump’s true legacy.”
There is a political stability rating system modeled by the CIA and experts, that rates unstable countries like North Korea and Saudi Arabia a Negative 10, and stable countries like Denmark and Switzerland a Positive 10. The U.S. has always been a Positive 10, until now. The U.S. was briefly downgraded to a 5, is now an 8, but still not back to a positive 10. The system also examines reasons, such as if a political party is based on identity. Anyone who believes Donald Trump’s base isn’t white supremacy, hasn’t been paying attention. Groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers marched on our Capitol carrying Trump flags. It is finally coming to light that some were carrying guns, but according to their “rules,” they avoided engaging the US military at all costs so they did not use them, even if they were hoping to do so.
This isn’t over. The armed militias are still out there and I suggest you read this article to understand their plan of attack.
If British Intelligence’s less-than-favorable review of Russia’s war efforts poked a bear, I can’t wait to see what Peter Strzok’s post about Russia’s influence in the White House will do.
I’m not sure how Twitter links will work in Word Press, but I thought this was interesting enough to try and pass it along. The updates are usually brief and proven to be accurate. I have found them to be a good way to stay current on the situation in Ukraine, if such topics interest you.

Okay, I just need to vent here. I don’t expect anything to be done. Nothing is ever done. I was a victim of “military medicine” for 20 years so I speak from experience.
But this is outrageous! A 73-year old Vietnam veteran went to the VA to discuss a hernia operation. While sitting in the waiting room (probably for hours) he had to go to the bathroom. He knocked on the door to let the “patient advocate” know he would be in the bathroom — on the off chance he might be called while he was gone. The SOB at the door starts off by jabbing his finger in the man’s face. Then, he pushes this 73-year old man, who looks to be much smaller than him, into a corner, chokes him with both hands, throws him across a chair, and kicks him in the head while he’s lying on the floor. Then he leaves the room, leaving the unconscious man on the floor. And the CENSORED still has his job!!! He should not only be fired, he should be in jail for assault and battery!
This is unacceptable! This will not stand! These are my guys! They went through hell in Nam for nothing, only to come home and get spit on for having done what their government demanded they do. The names of a lot of my graduating class are on that wall in D.C. The ones who made it home deserve better than this!
Okay, rant over. Resume normal discord.
I’m surprised only one person has suggested a candidate for 2024 in case Trump doesn’t run. So far, there is only one “cautionary” vote for DeSantis. Is nobody considering Youngkin? If not, why not. He has supported the Big Lie, but he has done it quietly enough to have kept out of the fray. He’s new enough that he doesn’t come with a lot of the baggage a candidate like Cruz or Christie might have. Why not Glenn?
I have an honest question for the Trump fans here.
What do you like about him? I can find nothing… absolutely nothing… not one good thing. And I don’t like that. Everyone has some good points. What am I missing? Please try to explain it to me without using references to Biden, or Obama, or Hillary, or anybody else you don’t like. Convince me Trump has some good points.
Also, if Trump does not run in 2024, who would you like to see as the nominee for the Republican Party for President?
