Also my point is, and trying to convey, is if you are diversified you can weather any situation.  

This I can agree with…..but my reasons may be different than yours.

For a surgical strike that needed to be done, and required speed and secrecy for effectiveness and safety, I agree with POTUS authority. For any prolonged authorization, Congress needs to approve. Sadly, in our current state of affairs, we have too many sympathizers, grandstanders, purposeful leakers and--quite frankly--people exhibiting almost traitorous behavior to put a strike like this up for debate.
When even the IAEA says Iran has nuclear material for offensive war use, and has sanctioned them for violations, it's time to do something.

The way he handled himself in 2016 with Covid, Russia Gate, Sexual harassment charges from the 1800's, then aftermath of Jan 6th, New York, Georgia, survived two assassination attempts  and the man still played golf and won the popular vote. 
In comparison, this is a walk in the park. While he makes the final decisions, he's got a ton of advisors and support staff.
My prediction is Iran makes a deal and we don't get involved (although there is enough support to warrant it) and Russia/Ukraine is done before Christmas,

I think we’re at 15 now. We could stand for a few of them to be recognized days, but not Holidays. 
 
There’s also been talk about businesses rotating the Holidays… these four this year, those four next year, etc.  
I don’t think Trump spoke out of turn- I think he was whistling at a group of his supporters who aren’t happy that the last two federal holidays were gifts to the African American Community.  But he’s not alone- I had a black co-worker make the argument only black people should have Juneteenth off, lol. 
 
Fanning the fires of racism never goes out of style, I guess.

Your opinion is not fact.....based on all your post, you get your news from a liberal bubble. The difference in liberal versus real news casting is night and day

You too

Based on past post she has no leg to stand on

What has divided the country is progressives not getting their way on everything. The voters pushed back on their ideas at the election, and they aren’t happy. The organizers purposely picked the day to protest. Trump—like him or not—didn’t pick it.
So far, the Constitutional Republic is functioning as intended. POTUS has won a few SCOTUS cases, and lost a few. Power has been checked. Congress is working on a budget that might reign in some spending & prioritize. (Yet to be seen how it will turn out.) Immigration law is being followed more than it has in decades. Yes, there have been some high profile hiccups. But, the broader effort is what the majority of voters requested, and is required by law. Nothing ‘kingly or authoritarian’ about that issue.
I don’t see a need for a No Kings Day effort other than it’s a way for progressive/anarchist groups to attempt to disrupt. The major crowds amounted to—supposedly—around 2 million nationwide from numbers I’ve seen. A good number…until you realize it’s actually only around 1% of the voters of the 2024 election.
Why am I not surprised that Randi Weingarten (Teacher’s Union) is a major promoter & contributor? How teachers can still support her is beyond me. She is a big reason Texas passed school choice—which most teachers I’ve spoken with were against. She cares more about activism than the teachers and students she supposedly represents.

Do they even know why they are there?   LOL!

SECDEF and CJCOS (along with the rest of the JCOS) are political/advisory positions. Heck, you could eliminate 2/3 of the General & Admiral ranks and not lose a tactical/operational iota. They’re administrators for the most part. If you know anything, you know the secret to the success of the U.S. military is that it’s a bottom up operational force. Sergeants and Chiefs basically run the tactical operations. Command structure—operationally—could stop at the Colonel/Captain level and still function without missing much of a beat. Most O7 & above aren’t even weapons qualified anymore.
This is different than every other modern military.  SECDEF and JCOS are basically irrelevant except as conduits. They neither make nor approve any plans. They make recommendations and budgets. That’s it.
Yes. A lot has changed since my time. But, not that much in the way of operations.

Entrance requirements were too high. 🤓

🤦🤦🤦🤦

Totally agree. I work with physically and mentally disabled people….(a percentage of the parent s use them for gain….pathetic and sad) 
a good portion of these people are amazing in the sense of they don’t let their disability hold them back….they have a great attitude and a good worth ethic…..they aim to please.  
I know some veterans who ve lost limbs and do a better job than those with all their limbs.
really if anyone wants to accomplish something then victim mentality is not part of that equation even if they are a real victim unlike these fake victims.
