My! I haven’t written a new blog for quite some time. With so many things happening to us personally and throughout the U.S., it has been rather difficult. Firstly, my 10 year old computer died as the result of an untimely meeting with a Covid-19 hammer. Yup. My next door neighbor maliciously beat its brains out before I disposed of it. It was old, and could not recover from the Covid-19 hammer beating. It refused to wear a mask.

My new computer is much smaller, prettier, and much more capable than the 10 year old computer. So, here I am. Tickling the keys on a new, responsive keyboard.

The biggest challenge for me is to decide what to write about. Covid-19? Who in hell is not tired of hearing about that? I do find it interesting that the news reports the deaths, new cases and new hospital covid-19 patients on a scoreboard. You remember what a scoreboard is? Its those things we not longer see, because WE DON’T HAVE ANY SPORTS! Somehow, that scoreboard usually never reports the number of cured cases.

I could write about the upcoming elections. And…once I am done puking, I may do that, too.

How about those peaceful riots that somehow managed to burn and destroy major U.S. cities in the name of racial equality and police brutality. Apparently, our nation hates the police by wanting to defund them, and finds a myriad of ways to justify all of the destruction to businesses, government buildings, parks and statues. In Minneapolis, the mayor and the governor waited 4 days before attempting to end the massive destruction that destroyed/damaged over 500 businesses! But wait….it gets better. After not taking any action, the Governor of Minnesota had the audacity to request funds from FEMA, because he claimed the destruction to Minneapolis was a natural disaster! So Governor, let me help you out about what constitutes a natural disaster. Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster when it hit Mississippi/Louisiana. Hurricane DumAss did not hit Minneapolis, it only hit the state capitol building. Wisely, President Trump refused the funds.

So, I have decided that we need to write not about the obvious, but rather play a game of ‘Who Am I?”

Who Am I?

I served in the U.S military for 33 years. I was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for two years. I was the 24th National Security Advisor. Part of my military career was shaping U.S. counterterrorism strategy for dismantling insurgent networks in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Who Am I?

Who Am I?

I played high school and college sports. I was a hip hop artist. Between 1997 and 2005, I was convicted of eight crimes. I served 4 years in prison for aggravated robbery. I have been arrested nine times and served many months in jail as a result. Most of my jail time was for drugs, theft and robbery. I worked as a bouncer.

OK. For my brilliant readers, you have already figured out that the two individuals are LtG Michael Flynn, and George Floyd. So which of these two individuals is a true hero, and which is not.

Michael Flynn served with distinction is every facet of his life. His military career is impeccable. But Michael made the mistake of being lured into the quagmire of the political arena after military retirement. He resigned his position of National Security Advisor after 22 days on the job. Purportedly, it was because he misled VP Mike Pence about the nature and content of his communications with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Unfortunately for Flynn, the government was not done with him, even after his resignation. He became a target in the Mueller investigation. (My previous blogs discuss the validity and motives of that investigation. Investigate all things Trump!) Flynn was set up by an interview with James Comey, As a result of charges, in December 2017, Flynn formalized a deal with Mueller to plead guilty to a felony count of ‘willfully and knowingly’ making false statements to the FBI. He did this because he was facing financial ruination, as his attorney bills exceeded $6 million! In January of this year, (with a new attorney!) Flynn moved to withdraw his guilty plea. On May 7, the Department of Justice announced that it intended to drop all charges against Flynn. But woefully, politically oriented district judges are not dropping the charges. Common sense would dictate that charges would be dropped that were based on a politically motivated investigation that was founded on false documents and personal malice. It appears Michael Flynn’s legal woes will not be over any time soon. Because of his past, and because of his defense of the United States through military service, would he be considered a hero?

Before anyone gets their undies in a bunch, I want to emphasize that the death of George Floyd was a tragedy. I would say, “All lives matter,” including George Floyd’s, but then I would be branded a racist and white supremist. However, let the facts and history show that George Floyd was no saint. He was a criminal that, on numerous occasions committed criminal activities, often with a weapon. In his youth, he was athletic. He played both football and basketball. At 6’4″ and 235 pounds, with a recent job of being a bouncer, he would be a physical force with which to contend. The Minneapolis police department knew him well and of his criminal history. I am not trying to justify the police procedure during his death, or get into the findings of a drug (fentanyl and methamphetamine) laden autopsy. What I am saying is that the death of this ‘non-saint’, resulted in his being buried in a gold casket, with Al Sharpton delivering the eulogy. His death also triggered some peaceful protests which were well-founded and well attended, but were quickly highjacked by looters, vandals and professional ‘hell raisers,’ which resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars damage in many major U.S. cities. Is he a hero?

So what has been the aftermath for these two individuals?

For Michael Flynn, his footnote to history will be that he was the shortest serving National Security advisor at 22 days. His legal problems are spitefully ongoing. My hope would be that if Trump gets reelected, he would be appointed head of the CIA or the FBI. How ironic that he could head one of the two organizations that were largely responsible for his political downfall and public humiliation. There are rumors he may win a very large settlement because of the maliciousness of the actions and allegations against him. Who would pay? Possibly the U.S. government, even though I think James Comey should pay….on his way to prison for politicizing the FBI. The principle reason for LtG Michael Flynn’s woes? He supported Donald Trump. The deep state leftist government hacks could not allow that.

Following George Floyd’s death, many colleges and universities created scholarships in Floyd’s name. Street artists globally created murals honoring Floyd. Depictions included Floyd as a ghost in Minneapolis, as an angel in Houston, and as a saint weeping blood in Naples, Italy. Many other murals depicting his death have been painted in other major cities throughout the world. He has often been referred to as a ‘hero,’ even though there is not one item in his past that would indicate heroism. Unabashedly, the virtual Democratic convention honored him last night with a memorial. No mention of fallen service men and women. No mention of fallen police and first responders. The Democrats decided to bestow ‘virtual sainthood’ on a person least deserving of the honor.

So, like many of you, I am confused and confounded as to how our country went from castigating a person that protected our country, to honoring a person that was pretty much a career criminal. So here is my question for all of you……what would George Floyd’s footnote to history be if the policeman responsible for his death was black? Would we have even heard of George Floyd? Maybe we would still have heard of it, as the mantra ‘racial inequality’ would have waned in favor of ‘police brutality.’ But, I am convinced that the left wing professional agitators would not have missed the opportunity to do their damage, they just needed a cause. Antifa and BLM needed another cause. The democrats and their left leaning media just cannot get enough mileage when a white policeman kills a black thug.

Are either of these men heroes? I guess that would be for you to decide. Personally, I believe Michael Flynn approaches my idea of a hero. George Flynn, does not.

Rest in peace and God be with you, George. We may not have known who you were if it were not an election year.
