Paul, the short answer to your rhetorical question (What the hell is wrong with the GOP?) is: Nothing. As it has for more than a century-and-a-half, the Republican Party stands for the free enterprise system, secure national borders, honest and fair elections, real and unbiased journalism, an ethical and impartial judiciary, civil rights for all citizens, acceptable moral standards of behavior and personal freedom and liberty. By contrast, the Democrat Party remains true to its historical heritage of slavery, secession, segregation and sedition by offering nothing by hatred, division, and dissension. The contrast is as simple as it is stark and the immense volume of credible evidence more than makes this case. Have a nice day.

My friend, for over a decade you have posted your decidedly false narratives about today's treasonous GOP on my posts here and LinkedIn. Never once in that past decade have you provided a single source, let alone a credible one, to support your far-right extremist ideology.

As you know, I abhor all big money political parties, but every credible fact, always included in my essays, speak directly to treason, racism, Oligarchy, political violence and unconstitutional pursuits. You may be a Veteran, but unless you can support your dishonesty and the Project 2025's morality, in my mind, your patriot status is revoked, as that you have sold out your military oath to the nation.

As always, I reject your false, treasonous and unsourced narratives. You are welcome to comment as long as you wish, but remember, it's your once prestigious reputation that you are sacrificing, on the altar of fake-patriotism.

Good day

Thank you, Paul, for your insightful clarification. I never realized that expressing the hope for the free enterprise system, secure national borders, honest and fair elections, real and unbiased journalism, an ethical and impartial judiciary, civil rights for all citizens, acceptable moral standards of behavior and personal freedom and liberty would constitute "decidedly false narratives" or that these expressions of appreciation for the greatness of America would be considered "treasonous and unsourced narratives." This is truly an amazing age we are living in. Cheers

It’s your call my friend, either attempt to resurrect your once prestigious or continue posting extreme-right-wing false narratives. The one thing important to this publication, Truth about Threats, is factual evidence. You’ve been searching for this for over a decade, to support your fascism supporting comments. I’m afraid that not one single person of repute, any longer considers you a credible expert, on anything.

To your comment, my friend ("... not one single person of repute, any longer considers you a credible expert ...") can you name even one? Or is this just another one of your many non-factual, baseless allegations made without substance or merit?

Since my comments are made based on solid factual evidence I have no need to "resurrect" my reputation. It remains quite solid, thank you very much.

As for those whose respect you have lost, I will not betray their confidences.

You may continue telling your tales of whimsy, but no one reading these essays respects conspiracy theories, devoid of evidence. As I have long noted, it is purely American to speak as we choose or at least it was before your fascist GOP, but respect must be earned. On this platform, you've not only failed to earn respect but have painted yourself into a corner, made of conspiracy theories and dishonesty. I do though acknowledge your right, to do this. Your un-American and dishonest narratives that you troll my posts with here, are now your brand. Not the one I would choose but hey, it will be a free country again when we oust the traitors in power and hold them accountable.

Good luck
