Walk This Way: James Mattis: Wrong Then and Wrong Today

And Just When His Country Needed Him Most

"I know there is wailing and gnashing of teeth about Mattis today. But what Trump is doing must be huge. In one week, W., Mattis, and Zero have all felt the need to come out and try to stop him. When the enemy has committed its reserves, you know he is in danger of losing."--Larry Schweikart

",,,that the people of America would have greater security against an improper use of the power of making treaties..."--Hamilton

 From the very beginning: Jan. 2017, Gen. Mattis on the Iran Deal:

“I think it is an imperfect arms control agreement — it's not a friendship treaty. But when America gives her word, we have to live up to it and work with our allies.”

I agree completely. But America never "gave her word". A supposedly studious and learned general would know that.

Barack Hussein Obama illegitimately gave his word, not America. In fact, America was specifically prevented from giving her word.

That's because America "gives her word" on treaties through the Senate's Advise and Consent power. The Constitution require senators, two from each state, to agree by a two-thirds vote for the specific purpose that our word as a nation is broad-based, authentically given as a nation. Not on the whim of single tin-pot basketball bracketeer.

Obama subverted that authentic national consent by calling this Treaty an "Executive Agreement". It is, in fact, a One-Man Diktat, a Dear Leader-style subversion of the Constitution never before seen in this Republic.

Furthermore, Obama conspired with Iran, Russia and other foreign entities to lie to the American people about the terms of this Pre-Emptive and Unconditional Surrender--and the lying is still underway to this very day.

And if I'm not mistaken, it was an "Executive Agreement" not even signed by Iran's executive, essentially making it a deal Obama cut with Obama. Perfect. And then handed to his Ayatollah as a gift.

There was not even simple majority support in the Senate for this madness, let alone the super-majority support envisioned by the Framers. This is why we take an oath to defend the Constitution, General.

America is not obligated because America never consented. In fact, America was prevented from giving her word...until she finally got to speak on Election Day. That election result is America's word on the subject, and that is what should be honored.

Now, General Mattis has regurgitated every single lie told by the Professional Liars regarding the President's walk to St. John's Church. I won't bother to refute them all here. But that act will long be remembered as a True Patriot showing American resolve, retaking the streets from rioting scum,  enemies of our civilization.

The general is just the latest in a long line of gold-plated DC phonies--Hey, Esper--that President Trump has exposed just by being President Trump. He's Truth Serum. It is his super-power.

Mattis can stand with the Communist ANTIFA, the terrorists, the Agit-Prop Media, the cop-killers and the church-burners if he wants, just like he sided with Obama and his Ayatollah on the Iran Deal.

But long after this over-rated stuffed shirt is forgotten, Americans will remember dearly their President Who Stood Up For Civilization--and the Constitution--When No One Else Would.

That includes you, soldier-boy.

The question is not why President Trump was there at the Historic Church, General.

The question is this:

Why Weren't You?

Hush, little General. Hush now.

JVW: "On the morning of the sweltering hot summer day of June 28, the order was dispatched to Lee’s army, camped in Englishtown about four miles away from Clinton’s troops, to move southeast and attack, while Washington made plans to move his larger army towards Monmouth for support. But Lee, who was opposed to shadowing Clinton’s army from the beginning and who by and large felt that his Commander-in-Chief was incompetent, complained of conflicting intelligence reports and refused to engage the enemy, choosing instead to fallback in the direction of Washington’s advancing army once the British began aiming cannon-fire in his direction. Confused as to why he was not hearing the sound of troop skirmishes ahead, General Washington became furious when he began to cross paths with retreating men under Lee’s command. Encountering Lee and his staff a short time later, Washington lit into his subordinate with language that few before had ever heard from the great man’s lips. At the same moment Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis, sensing the disorganization and confusion among the rebel enemy, had ordered the rear-guard troops under his command to attack the fleeing Continentals. After dressing down Lee, Washington had precious few moments to rally the dispirited troops, exhausted after marching on a day when the temperature reached one hundred degrees. He ordered Lee to remain in that location and form his men in a defensive position, then rode into the fray to rally his troops to repel the attack. 

As Alexander Hamilton would later write of his mentor, “His coolness and firmness were admirable. He instantly took measures for checking the enemy’s advance, and giving time for the Army, which was very near, to form and make proper disposition.” During this key moment it was later reported that Washington rode within thirty yards of the British troops, calmly giving orders as bullets and artillery flew all about him. Due to the exertion and the stifling heat, Washington would have his horse fall over dead as he rode about the lines. In a chaotic environment, George Washington’s bravery and fortitude had delivered his men a military draw but a psychological victory, continuing the momentum that had begun at Saratoga the previous summer. At the same time he managed to rid himself of a rival — Charles Lee was soon to be court-martialed — who had been undermining the Commander-in-Chief since the start of the war. Washington had, in the words of the Marquise de Lafayette, “arrest[ed] fortune with but one glance.” Hamilton would later declare, “I never saw the General to such advantage.” Writing to his brother John Augustine Washington on the second anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Great Man described the previous week’s battle as “a glorious and happy day.”"...….

Richard Brookhiser’s Founding Father: "Appearing on the field, Washington asked Lee the cause of “all of this disorder and confusion.” Lee stammered; then, according to one account, Washington swore “till the leaves shook on the trees. Charming! Delightful! Never have I enjoyed such swearing before or since. Sir, on that memorable day, he swore like an angel from Heaven.”"

And then he walked to church.
