Sitemap - 2023 - Truth About Threats

Freedom of the Press is our right but we should expect truth, not agendas that kill human beings.

Denying Ukraine funding is really the Republican Party supporting Putin and a most dire, national security threat.

From our hearth to yours, Peace on Earth, is my most heartfelt, holiday greeting

J’Accuse... LinkedIn

White Christian Nationalism is the official ideology of the Texas Republican Party.

The real Axis of Evil in the US is Russia, the MAGA controlled GOP and spineless Republican voters, putting party over country.

Mainstream news outlets are borderline antisemitic in their reporting about the war in Gaza.

Three dangerously related national security threats, 1. Putin's genocide, 2. Iran and Hamas' attempts at genocide and 3. the distraction Putin desires from western support for Ukraine.

Israel

The Speaker of the House debacle is part of the death phase of the MAGA GOP, and years in the making.

McCarthy's ouster by the MAGA extremists, was predictable for anyone studying the lifecycles of terrorism.

The impeachment hearing today in the House of Representatives, while our budget is going into the toilet... provoked this rant.

Let's catch up a little, on recent Chinese aggression, failures and developments.

Without factoring "brainwashing" into the equation for 2024, we're doomed to another far-right, extremist administration, no matter what pollsters say.

The current, far-right control of a spineless GOP, led by a spineless Speaker of the House, will doom our republic.

The Trump indictments are also an indictment of the entire party and their donors.

The GOP’s, White Christian Nationalist assault on Public Education, is not only murdering our founding values, but our future.

Can anyone in the National Security community please explain to knowledgeable Americans, why Modi's India, is a trustworthy ally?

Today's TAT is being gratefully interrupted, by the arrival of a new baby in the family.

Couldn't let the first anniversary go, without pointing the finger at GOP and NRA

No more excuses that it's too hard to find truth. (It really isn't)

After the end of Title 42, the southern border of Texas is calm.

The US always fights the "last war," instead of the one we're in.

Texas government is the antithesis of patriotic.
