US Marine Corp Birthday

We honor all US Marines not only on this November 10th, the US Marine Corps’ 243rd Birthday, but on every day.  Over the last 9+ years, 35 of the 121 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress were elected to Congress.  In addition, 36 of the 121 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress were US Marines; they are listed on the Endorsements and Alumni pages of our Web site.  

 

Eight of the 36 US Marines that were endorsed as Combat Veterans For Congress were elected to Congress.  Those US Marines who have served their country in combat as US Marines, and subsequently continued their service to the Republic as members of US House of Representatives are Cong John P. Kline (Col-USMC/Ret), Cong Paul Cook (Col-USMC/Ret), Cong Duncan D. Hunter (Maj-USMCR), Cong Michael Coleman (Maj-USMC), Cong Michael J. Gallagher (Capt-USMC), Cong Steve T. Kuykendall (Capt-USMC), and Cong Michael Grimm (Sgt-USMC).

 

Veterans Day

On November 11th, Veterans Day, and every day we recognize and respect Veterans and active duty personnel who have served their country in the US Armed Forces in US History.  We especially “Honor” members of the US Armed Forces who gave their last full measure of devotion in defense of the Republic.  Veterans and active duty personnel can click on the below listed link to learn of the many deals and discounts that restaurants extend to thank them for their service on Veterans Day, and in some cases discounts are good on the Monday following Veterans Day.

A review of the 31 campaigns of endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress for the period from 2017 to 2018 is presented below:

 

From 2017 to 2018, 55 new Combat Veterans from 23 states were reviewed for endorsement.  Eleven Combat Veterans For Congress from 8 states were subsequently endorsed, 6 of those endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress from 4 states won their primary elections, and 20 elected Combat Veterans For Congress from 15 states made up the field of 26 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, who campaigned and were supported to prevail in their November 2018 midterm general election campaigns. 

 

Five endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress did not seek election in the November 2018 midterm election:

 

Cong Ron DeSantis, Lcdr-USNR (JAGC) (R-FL-6) ran for Governor of Florida and was elected.
 

Cong Steve Pearce, Capt-USAF (R-NM-2) ran for Governor of New Mexico, but was not elected.  

 

Cong Ryan Zinke, Cdr-USN(Ret) (SEAL) (R-MT-1) was appointed Secretary of the Interior by President Trump.  

 

Cong James Bridenstine, Lcdr-USNR (R-OK-1) was appointed as the NASA Administrator by President Trump.  

 

Regretfully, cancer took the life of Senator John McCain, USNA ’58, Capt-USN (Ret) (WW) in August 2018. 

 

Unfortunately, four Endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress who ran for election on November 6th were not elected:

 

Congressman Michael Coffman, Maj-USMC (Ret) (R-CO-6)

 

Congressman Steve Russell, Lt-Col-USA (Ret) (Ranger) (R-OK-5)

 

Cpt Andrew Grant, USNA ’95, USMC (R-CA-7)

SgtMaj Juan Hidalgo, USMC (Ret) (R-CA-51)
 

Three newly endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress were elected to Congress on November 6th:
 

LTC Mike G. Waltz, USAR (Green Beret) (R-FL-6)

 

Lcdr Dan Crenshaw, USN (Ret) SEAL) (WW) (R-TX-2)

On October 29, 2018, CNN’s Don Lemon stated on a national TV broadcast “We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is “White Men”, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.”

That racist slander by CNN about “White Males” is now being promoted by the left of center liberal media establishment on air daily, they have also been labeling President Trump a racist, a white supremist, a Nazi, and Hitler, and say he hates people of color and Jews.  Progressive Marxist, Democrat Socialists, and Communists now fill the ranks of the new Socialist Democrat Party, and have partnered with the left of center liberal TV news commentators, the Radical Democrat elected leaders, and the New York Times spewing divisive hateful rhetoric daily and have been dividing the nation, ever since Hillary Clinton was soundly defeated in the 2016 presidential election by Donald J. Trump.  

The Radical “Progressive Marxist” leader of the new Socialist Democrat Party, who has been promoting the smear campaigns against President Trump, Republicans, and “White Males”, is the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Tom Perez.  Perez has a long history of “Anti-White” views, including making the declaration that “White people should not be entitled to protection under the Voting Rights Act”.  Five months prior to the midterm election, Perez decided to execute the nuclear option by initiating his slanderous “Nazi” campaign, and has been colluding with radical leftist TV commentators to slander President Trump and all Republicans.  

Perez initiated the Nazi campaign after President Trump refused to label Southerners who were trying to protect Historic Confederate Monuments in Charlottesville, VA as racists and neo-Nazis.  In Charlottesville, ANTIFA, the New Black Panther Party, Color of Change Radicals, and Black Lives…

It is with truly deep sadness, that we inform you that on October 23, 1918, a US Naval Academy Football standout, Captain Raymond Burke “Buddy” Welborn, USNA ’59, USN (Ret), PhD, N*, who was awarded the Thompson Trophy for Athletics in 1959, passed away peacefully of complications from an aortic aneurism at age 82, in League City, TX; his son Raymond Burke, Jr., USNA ’85 was by his side.  Capt Welborn was born in Bryan Texas, on August 13, 1936, and attended Rice University for 1 year before entering the United States Naval Academy in 1955, joining the Class of 1959.

Captain R. “Buddy” Welborn, USN (Ret), graduated from the US Naval Submarine School, was Submarine and Surface Warfare Qualified, was selected as a ship’s Commanding Officer, was an author, a college professor, a Trustee of the US Naval Academy Foundation, and a 7 year member of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC Board of Directors.  Following weekly Navy Football contests, Capt Welborn became well known for posting football game reports, for distribution on the Internet to many USNA Alumni groups.  Those reports had been acclaimed for the exactingly informative analysis; they were reminiscence of the style of legendary sportswriter, Grantland Rice.

Midshipman “Buddy” Wellborn did not enter the US Naval Academy on a football scholarship, was given no padded grades, had no professional football career to look forward to following graduation, yet he played with consistent dedication and loyalty for and with his Navy football teammates, for Navy’s Football Coach Eddie Erdelatz, for members of the Brigade of Midshipmen, and for the US Naval Academy.  He was a member of another of “Navy’s Football Team” through the ages, that loyally played to win together.

For three of his varsity football years (in 1955 Plebes/freshmen were not allowed to play varsity football), Midshipman “Buddy” Welborn played on Navy…

By clicking on the below listed link, the strategy followed by the Communist Party since the 1930s to destroy the Catholic Church from within and marginalize the Christian religion, will be revealed.  Communism teaches their fellow travelers that religion is the “opiate of the people.”    

 

The Communist Party USA, Progressive Marxists, Socialists Democrats, 80 Radical Left & Communist organizations funded by George Soros, Atheists, Anarchists, the left of center liberal media establishment, and their fellow travelers have joined with the Communist Party’s strategy to destroy the Catholic Church from within, and marginalize the Christian religion.  After 80 + years, the Communist Party’s long term goal with the willing help of their fellow travelers and co-conspirators listed above, is bearing fruit as follows:  

 

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been labeling many Christian organizations like the Family Research Center as who oppose the SPLC’s school curriculum for students in grades K-12  “hate groups.” They oppose the sexual indoctrination of children in very early grammar school grades, indoctrinating those very immature students into the LGBT lifestyles.  This indoctrination creates gender confusion, and the curriculum teaches students that the “anything goes” sexual activities is perfectly healthy and normal.  

 

Thousands of parents who expressed their concerns on Christian religious grounds about the SPLC sexual indoctrination of their very young children have been marginalized for daring to complain.  “Progressive” school administrators have tried to silence parents and/or tried to keep them in the dark.  In Minnesota, a group of parents who complained about the SPLS’s sexual education of their young children to county school board or elected political leaders, have been sued by the SPLC when the parents dared to fight back.  The…

In the below listed article from Breitbart News, Ammar Yasser Campa-Najjar’s Congressional Campaign made a donation to CAIR.  CAIR has strong ties with the Muslim Brotherhood International Terrorist Organization and Hamas as explained below.  The US State Department has designated Hamas a Foreign Terrorist Organization.  The Muslim Brotherhood has been outlawed and designated dangerous International Terrorist Organizations by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Bahrein, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia.

In 1994, CAIR  was created by and for The Muslim Brotherhood International Terrorist organization, as its public relations front organization.  The Muslim Brotherhood also instigated the creation of Al Q’ieda, ISIS, Hamas, and other terrorist groups.  In 2014, CAIR was designated an International Terrorist Organization and outlawed by the United Arab Emirates.   

 

CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce terrorist groups like The Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Al Q’ieda, Hamas, and Hizballah.  CAIR leaders have made statements affirming that their aim is to establish Islamic rule in the United States.” (WND Exclusive by Art Moore May 3, 2016).

 

It is reported in the below listed Breitbart News article, that 12 CAIR officials donated $9000 to Ammar Yasser Campa-Najjar’s Congressional Campaign.  It is also reported in the same Breitbart News article that Palestinian Ambassador Feda Abdelhady Nasser, the Deputy Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations, donated $250.00 to Ammar Yasser Campa-Najjar’s Congressional Campaign.  The mutual close relationship between CAIR and Ammar Yasser Campa-Najjar Congressional Campaign is a fact, that can no longer be disputed.  

 

After a 15 year FBI investigation, and subsequent indictments, guilty verdicts were rendered in the Holy Land Foundation For Relief trial, CAIR was named an unindicted…

The below listed article discuss the resistance and anarchy perpetrated by the New Socialist Democrat Party, Radical Leftists, the Socialist Party of America, and Anarchists, who threaten tranquility with cries for “Impeachment” of the US President, and a US Supreme Court Justice----“Impeachment” based only upon allegations, without any corroborating evidence, is to “Bear False Witness”. Their unsubstantiated and unhinged allegations are at a fever pitch, and are being promoted by the left of center liberal media establishment and leftist celebrities demonstrating in the streets.

For over two years, Progressive Marxists, the New Socialist Democrat Party, Obama’s “Organization For Action”, The Communist Party USA, The Muslim Brotherhood, Democrat Socialist Of America, Radical Marxists, La Raza, Mecha, Act Blue, The New Black Panther Party, Ultra Violet, Hillary’s “Onward Together”, Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA, and many other Leftists organizations, funded by George Soros, have been fueling violent demonstrations and mob rule in the streets.  

They intend to culminate their effort in a “coup d’état”, to remove the duly elected President of the United States from office.  Their weekly violent street demonstrations and attacks on “Freedom Of Speech” and “Freedom of Religion” undercut the foundation upon which the Founding Fathers created the Republic.

George Soros has been paying Illegal Aliens and covering the cost of their transportation to the sites of weekly protests, and to perpetrate anarchy in their violent street demonstrations, against the “Rule Of Law”, law enforcement officers, building a Southern Border Wall, halting Illegal immigration, defunding Sanctuary Cities, deporting convicted Illegal Aliens by ICE, President Donald J. Trump, and most recently in opposition to the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

What the left of center liberal media establishment has coordinated, in their cover up in the background of Christine Blasey-Ford that has been well-known by students at Palo Alto University, is that she is as an extremist and Progressive Professor, who has been a Never Trump demonstrator ever since Donald Trump ran for office, and that she degrades President Trump in campus discussions.  

The question facing the US Justice System and American citizens, is if a person is ever accused of a crime, should they be found guilty, as soon as they are accused?  Should the US Justice System and all US Laws that always treated all accused individuals as “innocent until proven guilty” be set aside and allow a simple accusation of an individual, with no proof to back up the accusation, be ignored and allowed to find that individual guilty? 

In her well-rehearsed testimony before the Senate Panel on September 27th, while being coached by her attorneys, Christine Blasey-Ford came across as a mixed up and troubled woman.  Her demeanor and appearance wasn’t normal for a person of her age, education, and standing.  As a mature woman, she gave responses to questions in an abnormally weak and high pitched little girl’s voice, which led viewers to wonder whether she was acting, or if she had mental problems.  A Body Language Expert analyzed Christine while she testified to the allegation that Judge Kavanaugh sexually abused her 36 years ago; the overall analysis by the Body Language Expert was that “Something’s Wrong Mentally” with Christine. 

Military and Law Enforcement Interrogators are trained to look into a subject’s eyes during an interview.  If TV viewers had been trained to pay close attention to Christine Blasey-Ford’s eyes during her testimony, they would have had doubts about the veracity of her testimony.  There were many gaping holes in Christine’s testimony, and she did not reveal any new or…

The below listed 1944 quote by the 6 time Presidential candidate of the Socialist Party of America, Norman Thomas, is an accurate prediction that today’s Liberal Democratic Party (AKA The American Progressive Socialist Party) will support Socialism: 

 

“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism.  But under the name of Liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist Program, until one day, America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.  I no longer need to run for the Socialist Party of America, the Democrat Party has adopted our platform.”  

 

Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson would not recognize the actions, policies, and leadership of the once honorable Patriotic Democrat Party.  Today’s Democrat Party leaders do not support the US Free Enterprise System, that built the most effective economic engine in the history of mankind, nor do they support a Republic governed by the US Constitution.  The Democratic Party has been compromised by radical zealots who support a “Progressive” Marxist philosophy; they’ve taken control as explained below.   

 

In the 2000 Presidential election campaign, a coalition of Radical Leftists, “Progressives”, Socialists, Marxists, Communists, and Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups who do not support or protect the US Constitution, joined forces to defeat Texas Governor George Bush; they were unsuccessful in a hard fought campaign, but the conflicts that resulted in that campaign linger to this day. 

 

Americans must be informed who “Progressives” are.  The “Progressive” philosophy was created in the 1840s by Karl Marx and German Philosopher George Wilhelm Hegel.  Their “Progressive” Marxist philosophy can be summarized by a simple statement “Everything is formed by the process of change.”  Since the 1960s, left-leaning public schools teachers and radical college…

In the below listed video of a national TV interview on One America News Network, Capt Joseph R. John, USNA ‘62/Former FBI, and GySgt Nick Popaditch, USMC (Ret) (Silver Star recipient) expressed their support for an endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Maj/USMCR (R-CA-50).  

 

They pointed to Cong Hunter’s lifetime of service to the Republic.  Following his graduation from college, Duncan Hunter enlisted and served as an officer in the US Marine Corps; he served in combat operations in Iraq and in Afghanistan.  Then for nearly 6 years in Congress, on the House Armed Services Committee, Cong Hunter championed many legislative initiatives in support of the US Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs.  

 

Capt John and Gunny Sgt Popaditch are both opposed to Cong Hunter’s Democratic opponent running in the general election, Ammar Yasser Campa-Najjar, is being supported by CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood International Terrorist organization, Radical Socialist Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, ActBlue, Barrack Hussein Obama, and Radical Progressives.  

 

Ammar Yasser Campa-Najjar was Obama’s Campaign Deputy Regional Director in 2007 at age 17.  After Barrack Hussein Obama was elected and took office, he was appointed as the Head of the Office of Public Affairs in the Employment and Training Administration in the Labor Department when he was 18 years of age (he recently removed “Yasser” from his name to prevent voters from seeing his real name on the ballot).  

 

Ammar Campa-Najjar’s supporters have established a national fundraising office to solicit donations from supporters of CAIR, The Muslim Brotherhood, Act Blue, and Progressive Socialists.  They have raised over $1 million for their 28 year old candidate, who has never run for any elective office in his lifetime.  Campaign donations are not being raised from…

My fellow Americans,

Only once a year do we seek your support to help us recruit and elect endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress.  This year it is extremely important that you assist us in the support of endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, so they can help in their retention of endangered seats from being lost to Democrat Socialists, who will vote for Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the House.

As we approach the most important Congressional election in 242 years, endorsed US Senator Tom Cotton is not running for re-election this year, Cong Ron DeSantis is running for Governor of Florida, Cong James Bridenstine was appointed as the new NASA Administrator, Cong Ryan Zinke (SEAL) was appointed as Secretary of the Interior, and Senator John McCain recently passed away.  With those 5 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress not running, we are still supporting 21 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress running for election and for re-election in November 2018.  We will continue our efforts to recruit a new slate of Combat Veterans For Congress to run in November 2018.

President Donald J. Trump is not on the ballot in November 2018, but his agenda will be voted on.  Voters will determine the makeup of Congress, and Congress will in turn, determine if:

The Border Wall will be built to prevent drug smugglers, human smugglers, MS-13 gang members, terrorists, Illegal Aliens, and opioids from flooding across the wide-open southern border.  “Abolish ICE” will be approved, and if ICE will be prevented from capturing dangerous convicted criminal Illegal Aliens. Federal grants to 350+ Sanctuary cities will continue, even as they continue to violate US Federal Immigration Laws, while releasing dangerous convicted criminal Illegal Aliens into the general population, instead of turning them over to ICE. The newly proposed tax cuts will be approved; if the previously approved tax… more

We’ve been asked by many supporters about “With Honor”, a new organization that has endorsed 200 veterans to run for Congress.  Five of the 200 veterans they endorsed in 2018 are among the 31 Combat Veterans For Congress we’ve endorsed.  Besides the 5 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, they have also endorsed 6 previously elected Congressmen, as well a very large number of veterans running for Congress.    

 

We only recruit and endorse Combat Veterans to run for Congress.  Over the last 9 years, we have communicated with 499 Combat Veterans and endorsed 120 to run for Congress.  We are pleased that 88 of them won their primary elections and 32 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress were elected to Congress (3 US Senators and 29 US Congressmen).  We do not have any paid staff, nor the type of financial backing to do an in depth evaluation of many hundreds of veterans in order to finally endorse 200. 
 

In the 2017 through 2018 time frame, we’ve evaluated 54 Combat Veterans from 23 states, and endorsed 10 Combat Veterans For Congress, which is substantially less than the 200 candidates “With Honor” endorsed.  We also re-endorsed 21 Combat Veterans For Congress, endorsing a total of 31 Combat Veterans For Congress to run in 2018.  However, one endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress is now running for Governor of Florida, another was appointed by President Donald Trump as Secretary of the Interior, a third was appointed by President Trump as the new NASA Administrator, and a fourth, US Senator John McCain, recently passed away.  

 

Possibly the success of our endorsement program, in contributing greatly toward the election of 32 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress over the last 9 years, may have had something to do with the establishment of “With Honor”.  Liberal and leftist donors, like Jeff Bezos, have donated $20 million to fund “With Honor”; we do not have that…

In 2010, Senator John McCain endorsed the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC.  Following Senator McCain’s endorsement, the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC endorsed Senator McCain, as a Combat Veterans For Congress.  In July 2011, Senator John McCain wrote and distributed a fundraising letter, to his supporters nationally, in order to solicit donations for the election of endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress.  Over the previous 8 years, Senator McCain had always been supportive of the other two endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress elected to the US Senate, and to the 29 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress elected to the US House of Representatives.

Over those 8 years, on a monthly basis, without fail, we have been repeatedly criticized, vilified, and threatened for maintaining our endorsement of Senator John McCain as a Combat Veteran For Congress.  We always explained to those never ending E-mail complainants, who harassed and criticized the PAC, that we didn’t always agree with Senator McCain’s stances on various issues, such as some issues on Illegal Immigration, some Middle East issues, and a few others.  However, we don’t always agree with all the stands of the other 31 endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress on certain issues.  

In some cases, endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress have been impulsive with their comments, not necessarily on firm footing on certain issues, been at fault because of some improprieties, and have been imperfect in handling some sensitive issues.  Which of us has not been imperfect on how we handled sensitive issues?  We have gone to extraordinary lengths to investigate, then dispel many of the stories vilifying Senator McCain on the Internet, and have been able to disprove nearly all of them to our satisfaction.  

 

We are sharing some of Senator McCain’s positions on issues over the last 8 years, we have agreed with his…

The Democrat candidate running against Congressman Duncan Hunter, in the 50th Congressional District, is 28 year old Ammar Campa-Najjar who has family ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO).  He was taken to the Gaza Strip to be raised among Palestinians by his Palestinian father, Yasser al-Najjar, and remained there until age 12.

His grandfather, Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar (aka Abu Yusuf) was the Radical Islamic Terrorist, and member of the Black September Organization, who was the mastermind and executioner in the operation that murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany.  
 

Prior to Barrack Hussein Obama’s election, Ammar Campo-Najjar was Obama’s Campaign Deputy Regional Director, and after Barack Hussein Obama took office, Campa-Najjar was appointed to serve as Head of the Office of Public Affairs of the Employment and Training Administration in the Labor Department. 

Ammar Campa-Najjar is strongly supported by Barrack Hussein Obama who appointed him to a position in the Obama administration, by Democrat Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) whom Ammar Campa-Najjar states he admires, by CAIR (the front group for the Muslim Brotherhood), by The Muslim Brotherhood International Terrorist Organization, by Act Blue--the Radical Leftist and Progressive Organization, and by the Podesta Group that ran Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign.

Katie Hopkins tells Americans what has happened to her beloved England, and warns Americans not to let it happen to the United States! 

The below listed video is funny, sometimes crude, raucous, but intentionally fashioned to get her point across, “not to let it happen to you.” 

All Americans should see this message.  The left of center liberal media establishment has managed to cover it up; most Americans are clueless.  

What has happened to England, Sweden, and much of Europe because of the massive invasion of illegal aliens and the establishment of no-go enclaves, which police won’t enter, is truly unsettling: no law and order in many places. 

It is not a Democratic, Republican, Independent, Liberal, Conservative, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, or Buddhist issue; it is an issue about “Freedom and Security for the individual, women, children, and for the elderly!” 

After you to watch the below listed video, you might want to pass it on, and as Katie warns Americans:  

      “Do not become like Britain, get serious and fight back.”

The left of center liberal media establishment has been frantically misrepresenting the revocation of John Brennan’s Security Clearance.  Brennan’s non-stop erratic and frenzied commentary on the loss of his Security Clearance has aggressively attempted to mislead the American people about the issue.  The below listed E-mail does an excellent job of discussing the revocation of Brennan’s Security Clearance.  
 

In order to shine the light of day on this issue, the following facts that the press failed to report on, are presented herewith:

In 1976, at the height of the Cold War when Russia was threatening the survival of the United States with the threat of its nuclear weapons, in that same year, Brennan voted for Gus Hall, the Communist Party candidate for President.

 

While Director of the CIA, Brennan made the following comments about the CIA:  

"We don't steal secrets from other countries, we don't do espionage, we are a discovery organization.”

 

Although President Bush and President Obama both met with Vladimir Putin numerous times, and despite the fact hundreds of diplomats were expelled from the US and very heavy sanctions were imposed on Russia by President Trump for the Russian nerve gas attack on British soil, when President Trump met with Putin, Brennan accused President Trump of treason; treason calls for the execution of the perpetrator.

 

For the first time in US history, Brennan, as Director of the CIA, used his position to oppose the candidate of a major political party running for US President.  After Hillary Clinton Campaign paid British foreign agent Christopher Steele and Russia Oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, who were working with Obama Justice Official, Bruce Ohr, to create an anti-Trump salacious dossier, that the FBI said could not be verified, to be able to obtain warrants to spy on Trump Campaign officials. …

"Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily destroyed." Karl Marx

The below listed PBS article reveals that for centuries, education courses once taught to students in grammar schools, middle schools, and in high schools, extoled “America’s Heritage,” explained the freedoms outlined in The Bill of Rights, provided an “accurate History of the US,” and explained that the US Constitution is the foundation of the Republic’s government.  Over a 200 year period, American Educators taught students about “America’s Core Values,” “America’s Heritage,” and “American Exceptionalism.”  This gave students a unity of purpose which brought the melting pot of America’s diverse cultures together, and strengthened and unified American citizens in common goals.     

Individual State Education Departments once controlled the curriculum in public schools and encouraged County School Boards to employ approved Social Studies and US History textbooks with an accurate record of events in US History.  The State controlled curricula taught students the magnificent philosophy that the Republic was founded on, explained the student’s heritage to be proud of, lionized the Founding Fathers, promoted principals of good moral character, explained that The Free Enterprise System built the most successful economic engine in the history of mankind, and that since its founding, America defeated dictators and freed millions of oppressed people.  

 

America’s success through the ages did not flow from its military victories, nor from America’s economic strength created by The Free Enterprise System.  The success of the Republic resulted from teaching America’s children about their “Heritage,” about an accurate History of the US, that the United States is the only country in history to wage a Civil War to eliminate slavery, that over 500,000 American military personnel gave their lives to free enslaved people…

 Combat Veterans For Congress---Embedded Integrity

We encourage you to read the below listed article concerning former Captain Kevin M. Nicholson, USMC,  the 28th Endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress running for the US Senate in Wisconsin in 2018.  We encourage you to provide support for him in any way you can by going to his Web site https://nicholsonforsenate.com/.  His Democrat parents have disowned him, and have made financial donations to support the re-election campaign of first term Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin, who he is running against.

 

Baldwin was one of the first Democrat Senators to support Barrack Hussein Obama’s very dangerous Iranian Nuclear Weapons Agreement, which is permitting Iran to develop nuclear weapons.  Baldwin supported Obama in sending $1.5 billion dollars in cash on pallets that were loaded onto cargo planes for shipment to the Iranian government as a down payment on the $150 billion that Obama paid to the largest state sponsor of terror.  It is unconscionable that Baldwin was willing to support the Iranian Nuclear Weapons deal for the sworn enemy of the United States for the last 49 years.   

 

Iran used those funds to provide Radical Islamic Terrorists with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and Explosive Formed Penetrators (EFPs).  Baldwin was also complicit in providing funding for Iran’s manufacture of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and Explosive Formed Penetrators (EFPs) that Iran provided to Radical Islamic Terrorists to kill and maim American Combat Servicemembers, who will be crippled for the rest of their lives.

Who are “PROGRESSIVES “as identified in this Op Ed?  The “PROGRESSIVE” philosophy was developed by Karl Marx and German Philosopher George Wilhelm Hegel in1801.  They stated “Everything is formed by the process of change.” “PROGRESSIVES” have been attempting to create doubts in the validity of the 242 year old US Constitution to govern the Republic; since then US Constitution has changed very little.  Since the 1920s, Communists who have been promoting and supporting Karl Marx’s “PROGRESSIVE” Philosophy have been trying to create doubts in the validity of the 242 year old US Constitution to govern. The left of center liberal media establishment has been covering up the identity of the groups that make up “PROGRESSIVES”---Marxists, Leftists, Socialists, Communists, and Islam Extremists who believe that Sharia Law is superior to the US Constitution.  By dishonestly covering up the true goals of “PROGRESSIVE”, the liberal media establishment has been leading Americans to believe they are forward thinking and who seek progress. This perception of ”PROGRESSIVE” couldn’t be further from the truth.  The sinister goal of ”PROGRESSIVE” is to erode support for the US Constitution in grammar, middle, and high school education, and by any other means possible, including by rulings from “PROGRESSIVE” judges.

There has been over 700 demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement Federal Law Enforcement Agents (ICE), throughout the nation over the last 3 weeks.  The 50 offices of Obama’s “Organization For Action (OFA)” have been coordinating the demonstrations, with the support of their 32,525 members, and with the help of 14 field organizers.  The Demonstrators are being transported to various locations, and are being paid by George Soros.
  

The demonstrations are designed to eliminate the force of 6000 ICE Agents whose primary function is to enforce US Federal Immigration Laws, and to apprehend convicted Illegal Alien criminals on the interior of the US.  Obama’s OFA is lying about what ICE Agents are responsible for, and whipping up hysteria by saying ICE is separating Illegal Alien children from their Illegal Alien parents; the left of center liberal media establishment has been promoting that bold faced lie for the last three weeks. 

ICE Agents have absolutely nothing to do with separating Illegal Alien children from the human trafficking Illegal Alien adults at the border, those human traffickers are often masquerading as Illegal Alien parents.  It is the Customs and Border Protection Federal Law Enforcement Officers, not ICE Agents, who try to determine if the Illegal Alien child, is in the custody of their real Illegal Alien parent.  Often it not the real Illegal Alien parent with the Illegal Alien child, it is a drug cartel “mule”, using an Illegal Alien child as cover, in order to penetrate the US Southern Border illegally.  

 

The only reason an Illegal Alien child may eventually be separated from an Illegal Alien real parent, is because the Illegal Alien parent has hazarded their child, by bringing the child on a very long and dangerous journey through hostile territory, traveling the full length of Mexico, then by finally committing the…

Each year on Independence Day, the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate, express their support for the freedoms they enjoy, and recognize the unlimited opportunities afforded them to improve their stations in life, because of success of The Free Enterprise System which built the most successful economic engine in the history of mankind.  The Fourth of July is also an opportunity for each “Patriotic American Citizen” to celebrate a second symbolic birthday.  

 

Countless generations of Americans fought for, and under, the American Flag.  The American Flag symbolizes the unity of Americans.  The “Flag” is flown on national holidays, above US Federal buildings, on US Military installations, on US Navy ships, over US Embassies & US Missions, by deployed US military units overseas, and by millions of Americans over their residences.  The “American Flag” symbolizes the principles upon which the Founding Fathers established the Republic, and collectively signed the Declaration of Independence 242 years ago. 

 

On the Fourth of July, and every day, Americans citizens demonstrate their support for Military Veterans, and members of the US Armed Forces, who at one time in their life, raised their right hand, and swore to protect and defend the US Constitution, then gallantly served in the defense of the Republic, under the American Flag.  

 

At one point in their lives, the members of US Armed Forces, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives.”  The courage repeatedly demonstrated by Combat Veterans who served in the defense of the Republic, can be appropriately described by a quote, made in 352 BC, by King Philip of Macedonia:

 

            “Here is courage, mankind’s finest possession.  Here is the noblest prize.”

The Combat Veterans For Congress PAC endorses Cong Ron DeSantis, Lcdr-USNR (JAGC) for Governor of Florida.  Ron DeSantis is a fiscal and constitutional conservative who will work to rein in the out-of-control spending, and protect and support the 2nd Amendment rights in the State of Florida and nationally.  As Governor, he will stimulate the private sector to grow and create new jobs while bringing integrity and Judeo-Christian traditional family values to Florida’s government.”

For 9 years, the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC has only endorsed candidates running for Congress, and has never endorsed a candidate for State office.  However, since 2012 when we endorsed and supported Ron DeSantis to run for and get elected to Congress, we have observed how he has superbly represented the voters of Florida.  We therefore changed our endorsement policy in this one case, to endorse Ron DeSantis’ candidacy for Governor, and we approve of his commitment to honorable principles, strong leadership, and his dedicated service to his country.”

DeSantis, a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy Reserves, was deployed to Iraq while on active duty during the 2007 troop surge as an advisor to a U.S. Navy SEAL commander in support of the SEAL mission in Iraq, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for service.  Lcdr DeSantis also served at the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

If you have friends, associates, or relatives who know voters in Florida, kindly pass this E-mail on to them, and ask them to support Cong Ron DeSantis, Lcdr-USNR (JAGC) (R-FL-6) in his campaign for Governor of Florida, by working in his campaign, providing financial support for his campaign in any amount, and/or by networking with others who would be willing to support his campaign.

The military is one of the few remaining institutions producing the caliber of men and women needed to restore this nation to the greatness our Founding…

For the last 10 years, there has been a well coordinated attempt by Progressives to sow seeds of descent, to attack, and degrade respect for the Family Unit, Patriotism, Family Values, and Judeo/Christian traditions---“To fundamentally transform the United States of America.”  The Progressives' attacks have been aimed at patriotic symbols, statues memorializing famous figures in US History, the National Anthem, the American Flag, the Christian faith, and the Founding Fathers.  Marxist Progressive educators have altered US History, eliminated famous events and individuals in US History from school books, and created inaccurate records of US History in text books used to teach US history in grammar schools, middle schools, high schools, and college.  

 

Marxist Progressive advocates have led the attacks on traditional family values and have been supported by the below listed coalition of Marxist, Progressive, Leftist, Communist, and radical organizations, who are bent on eliminating support for the Family Unit, one of the strong foundations upon which the Republic was established.  The goal of the below listed Marxist, Progressive, Leftist, Communist, and radical organizations has been to undercut the unity of purpose that results from Patriotism, the support for the nation teaching accurate US History creates, how Judeo/Christian religious values develops strength of purpose in the individual, and how knowledge of the US Constitution provides support for governance and law enforcement in the Republic. 

 

The attempts to undercut support for Patriotism, US History, religious values, the US Constitution, and the Family Unit by the below listed left leaning organizations is well documented by law enforcement agencies, on the Internet, and by Congressional investigative committee reports.  The Marxist Progressive criticism of the nation and the family values are often presented…

The below listed Op Ed, by Admiral James A. Lyons, Jr. USNA ’52. USN (Ret), discusses how the US Navy could counter China’s blue water navy, and oppose China’s plan to control the South China Sea.  Over the last 10 years, China has developed a technically advanced blue water Navy whose goal is to be able to defeat the US Navy with conventional weapons; its rapid technology advances and ship building programs have been fueled by China’s theft of advanced weapons systems and ship designs from US corporations and the US Navy.  China’s long range goal is to become the dominate global naval power in the next decade.    

 

China’s plan is to expand its fleet to 351 ships, while the US Navy’s goal is to expand its fleet to 355 ships; Pentagon planners should not be planning parity with China, they should take a page out of President Reagan’s playbook, and develop a larger and more advanced US Navy than China’s Navy.  In addition to the Navy’s ship long range building program, it should modernize and recommission a certain number of ships in its reserve fleet.

Over the last 8 years, with no opposition from the Obama administration, China has created 4 artificial manmade island bases on rocky shoals, throughout the South China Sea.  China has developed and is implementing a strategic zone offensive plan for the South China Sea, and will most probably create additional artificial manmade island bases on rocky shoals.  Those island bases can’t be properly defended from a coordinated strike on all four bases at the same time by high flying stealth bombers and submarine launched cruise missiles.  There should never be a need for the US Marine Corps to execute four amphibious assaults to take control of those manmade island bases.

When China has 351 ships operating within the restricted area of the South China Sea, the US Navy will still be required to operate half of its fleet, or…

Each year on Memorial Day weekend we honor American Patriots who gave the "last full measure of devotion" in their service to the Republic, so their fellow Americans could live their lives in freedom.

We not only honor American Combat Veterans who gave up their tomorrows, we also honor Veterans, and members of the US Armed Forces who were often separated from their loved ones, for long periods, as they went into “Harm’s Way.”On this Memorial Day weekend, the nation solemnly pays homage to the thousands of Gold Star families for the loss of their loved ones, and the enormity of their sacrifice!   
On Memorial Day, and every day throughout the year, we also honor Veterans who served in the defense of the Republic.  America owes those Veterans a debt of gratitude that it can never repay!  At one point in their lives, those Veterans wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives.” 
By clicking on the below listed link, you will be able to watch a moving video, “Path Of The Warrior”, in Honor of America’s Fallen, Wounded Warriors, Veterans, and members of the US Armed Forces serving today.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the fiery leftist former mayor of Mexico City, with a double-digit lead in the opinion polls heading into the July 1st national election for the  Presidency of Mexico, vowed on May 18th to hit back at US President Donald Trump, if elected.  By turning a blind eye to the threat that Iran and the Los Zetas Drug Cartel has created in Mexico, outlined below, Republican, Democrat, and Independent members of Congress who continue their opposition to building a secure Border Wall contribute toward undermining the National Security of the United States.

 

The left of center liberal media establishment continues to cover up the below listed information about the terrorist training programs in Mexico initiated by Hezbollah (Iran’s proxy), the Iranian Republican Guard, and the Quds Force (the Quds Force carries out Iran’s Worldwide terrorist operations).  Since the mid 1980s, Hezbollah has been operating out of reach in South America in the Tri-Border area, where Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet.  

 

Over the last 8 years Iran has moved operations north into Mexico where Hezbollah, the Quds Force, and the Republican Guard has been setting up terrorist training camps, to give their Radical Islamic Terrorists a back door entry into the United States.  Over those same 8 years, numerous sleeper cells have been set up across the US.  

 

Along the 2000 mile border, there are forty-five Mexico/US crossings with 330 ports of entry crisscrossing the wide open southern border, and there are numerous entry points along the wide open southern border where it is impossible to police it without a secure Border Wall.  All smugglers have to do is drive their trucks with massive amounts of explosives and weapons across the wide open southern border.  If the US Border Patrol hopes to prevent terrorists from pouring across the US border, the Border Wall…

A number of San Diego County Republican Central Committee members, including Carl DeMaio endorsed Omar Kamal Qudrat and John Renison Rosas to run for Congress.  In light of the below listed facts about Qudrat and Renison Rosas, their endorsements brings into question their judgement, and judgment of Chairman Tony Kravic, who aggressively lobbied for their endorsements.  Those votes were for Open Borders and for Illegal Immigration.  

 

DeMaio refused to endorse Congressman Duncan D. Hunter, Maj-USMCR (R-CA-50) for re-election, who wants to close the wide open southern border.  On April 20th, US Diplomat James Horn (USN), after making a speech at the Rancho Bernardo Country Club, heard the Tony Kravic extol the virtues of Ammar Campa-Najjar, the grandson of Muhammed Yusuf al-Najjar, who plotted the Munich massacre of Olympic athletes.  Ammar Campa-Najjar is being promoted by supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to run for Congress against Cong Hunter. 

 

DeMaio publicly endorsed a Mexican citizen to run for Congress in San Diego County, whose business and home are located south of the border.  Even a casual observer is aware that drug cartels could very easily hold a business south of the border hostage to their sinister demands.  DeMaio has also endorsed a carpetbagger some of whose donors, also support the Muslim Brotherhood International Terrorist Organization.  

 

DeMaio and Kravic have also been supporting the Log Cabin Group candidates to run for Congress, year after year; when the Log Cabin Group is not even a Republican organization.  Kravic and DeMaio continue to endorse candidates for Congress who keep losing in the General Election, because Republicans reject their choices and continue to vote for Cong Peters, to ensure the candidates that Kravic and DeMaio support don’t get elected.

This year, once again, they are supporting two…

Over a 9 year period, from 2009 to 2018, thousands of hours have been spent communicating with 499 Combat Veterans from 50 states, additional thousands of hours have been spent doing background investigation and endorsing Combat Veterans For Congress.  Leading to the 2016 election, 112 Independent, Conservative, and Republican candidates from 38 states were endorsed, 82 of them won their primary elections, and 29% of them, or 32 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress from 22 states were elected to Congress (3 Senators and 29 US Congressmen).  To date this year in 2018, 27 Combat Veterans For Congress from 18 states have been endorsed; prior to the November 2018 mid-term election, the number of endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress may increase to 35. 
 

The reason 29% of the 112 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, with no campaign experience, had no experience in politics, and no polish on the stump, but were elected because they were very hard workers, and because the County Republican Parties in 38 states where they ran, embraced them, promoted their fundraising events, helped mobilize volunteers to support their campaigns, and in many cases made donations to their campaigns.  

 

In every case over the last 9 years, the endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress in the 11 Congressional races in San Diego County, also had no campaign experience, had no experienced in politics, had no polish on the stump, and were very hard workers like the Combat Veterans For Congress in 38 states nationally, who won 32 Congressional races, the difference is that they had no support “at all” from the San Diego County Republican Chairman.

For the last 75 years, the US has spent hundreds of billions of dollars to have the US Armed Forces protect international borders and fund the construction of border walls in a countless number of countries throughout the world.  Unfortunately, for the last 40 years, the United States has not had secure international borders in its own country.  

 

The American citizens are no longer safe from the invasion of drugs smugglers, Radical Islamic Terrorists, smugglers of women sold for prostitution, MS 13 gang members from Central America, convicted criminals/repeat offenders who prey on the lives of innocent Americans, the influx of millions of illegal aliens, and the spread of infective diseases throughout the nation and in public schools, because illegal aliens are no longer quarantined in compliance with The Immigration and Nationality Act.  Over the last 40 years, the United States has been invaded by over 20 million of illegal aliens who continue to violate US Federal Immigration Laws.   

 

Millions of illegal aliens have refused to assimilate, refused to honor the American flag, continue to pay allegiance to Mexico, take advantage of US welfare benefits, receive more food stamps than any state in the nation, receive billions of dollars in medical treatment, and their children who cannot read or write English restrict the progress of education in grammar schools.  Illegal Immigration has become the “Achilles Heel” for the Republic, and the sinister forces that support illegal immigration, designed to change the character of the Republic, are undercutting the rule of law, and already have taken control of the governance of the State of California.   

 

California has by far the largest number of illegal aliens of any state; there were 2.3 million illegal aliens in 2014, and their numbers have dramatically increased to over 4+ million in the last 4 years…
