Retired Adm. William McRaven, the former commander of the U.S. Special
Operations Command, is perhaps best known to Americans as the Navy SEAL who oversaw the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. In a new op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, the retired admiral talks about the ballot he cast this week in Texas. Truth be told, I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, small-government, strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing conservative. But, I also believe that black lives matter, that the Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, that diversity and inclusion are essential to our national success, that education is the great equalizer, that climate change is real and that the First Amendment is the cornerstone of our democracy. Most important, I believe that America must lead in the world with courage, conviction and a sense of honor and humility. He added, "I voted for Joe Biden." Taking aim specifically at the president's repeated insistence that the United States is held in higher regard thanks to his leadership, McRaven also wrote, without ever mentioning the incumbent president's name: Now, the world no longer looks up to America. They have been witness to our dismissiveness, our lack of respect and our transactional approach to global issues. They have seen us tear up our treaties, leave our allies on the battlefield and cozy up to despots and dictators. They have seen our incompetence in handling the pandemic and the wildfires. They have seen us struggle with social injustice. They no longer think we can lead, because they have seen an ineptness and a disdain for civility that is beyond anything in their memory. But, without American leadership the world will indeed be transformed, just not in the way we hope. -- 220,000+ Americans will never recover from the incompetence of Donald Trump. ![]() |

Naw, he's now a part of the liberal university system, and is expected to do this kind of stuff. The mind control takes effect quickly. "William McRaven, former University of Texas System chancellor and retired U.S. Navy four-star admiral, joined the school (The University of Texas at Austin) as a professor in national security in 2018. As chancellor (at UT), he oversaw 14 institutions that educate 221,000 students and employ 20,000 faculty and more than 80,000 health care professionals, researchers and staff." Got to hang on to that lucrative job, after he got busted down from his high post as chancellor, ya know? They might bust him down to sweeping floors.. ![]() |

McRaven suffers from leukemia, has been hospitalized for it, and in connection with the cancer and its treatment, also suffers from chronic fatigue. The move to teach as a professor was his choice to stay active. -- 210,000+ Americans will never recover from the incompetence of Donald Trump. ![]() |

You should have heeded your doctors warnings that your bones would crumble under the weight you were forcing them to carry. That excess weight was probably the cause of your sleep apnea too. Maybe this is God's way of paying you back for the way you live your life. |

He just doesn't like people who stop the endless wars. Bad for business. |
