What makes this man a national treasure and hero is not just his military service, but his willingness to outline one of the true cancers -Marxism- that is undermining the military ability to function.  It is likely Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier knew what he was saying would mean his targeting and elimination, yet he said it anyway.

(Military.Com) A commander of a U.S. Space Force unit tasked with detecting ballistic missile launches has been fired for comments made during a podcast promoting his new book, which claims Marxist ideologies are becoming prevalent in the United States military.

Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier, commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, was relieved from his post Friday by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of Space Operations Command, over a loss of confidence in his ability to lead, Military.com has exclusively learned.

[…] Earlier this month, Lohmeier, a former instructor and fighter pilot who transferred into the Space Force, self-published a book titled “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.”

“Irresistible Revolution is a timely and bold contribution from an active-duty Space Force lieutenant colonel who sees the impact of a neo-Marxist agenda at the ground level within our armed forces,” a description of the book reads. (continue reading)

It is interesting to compare and contrast the military reaction to Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier: “Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity,” against the lack of military reaction to Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (Trump impeachment instigator) who was clearly undertaking “partisan political activity.”

Liz Cheney’s intense focus on President Trump doesn’t make much sense, until you put together her priority within the 2020 election.  There is a strong argument to be made that Liz Cheney is an operative working on behalf of the Deep State interests.  The Deep State is the larger network of Intelligence Community (IC) officials who control all the institutions within the federal government.  {Go Deep}

If you accept the IC controls almost all functions of government; and can comprehend the checks-and-balances are no longer in place because the intelligence apparatus has effectively dismantled them; and then overlay the likelihood that Cheney is operating on behalf of those IC officials; then her laser focus against President Trump makes sense.

The 2020 election could not be manipulated, to the extent now demonstrably evident, without some elements of the intelligence community coordinating the effort.  That said, President Trump continuing to draw attention to the issue then becomes a very significant threat to discovery of the coordinated operation.  This would explain why Cheney is so intent on attacking President Trump and his discussion of “The Big Lie.”  In essence, Cheney is helping the IC to cover-up their activity.

.

Cheney could not be useful to the House conference because her priority was/is covering up fraud within the 2020 election.  That is why she focused exclusively on attempts to isolate, marginalize and ridicule President Trump.  Cheney’s connection to the Deep State community is her loyalty.

While ousted GOP Chair Liz Cheney runs to Fox News’ Chris Wallace for her interview (more on that later), her replacement Elise Stefanik appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the priorities of the House Republican Conference, and her perspective in the new role.

Stefanik defends the policies and results of the Trump administration and appears to understand the priorities of the MAGA base.  Stefanik accepts that election integrity and voter confidence is the priority in advance of the 2022 mid-term election.  Additionally, Chairwoman Stefanik supports the Arizona ballot audit taking place in Maricopa County and is prepared for the attacks against her and the GOP policy.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Journalist Lara Logan gives a very lengthy and insightful answer to a question posed by Jan Jekielek of the The Epoch Times.  This segment is well worth watching, especially for the CTH audience who have been around since our original very lengthy Benghazi Brief was published.   Stay with it… it is all worth hearing.

President Trump endorsed Drew McKissick three times for South Carolina GOP Chairman.  With that level of support and a track record of success McKissick easily won the GOP election by a vote of 582 to 239.   McKissick steered the Republicans to victories in the 2020 election gaining back a congressional seat (Nancy Mace) that the party had lost two years earlier, keeping the U.S. Senate seat (Graham) and flipping five Democratic-held state legislative seats to expand the GOP majority.

COLUMBIA — With the backing of former President Donald Trump, South Carolina Republican Party chairman Drew McKissick easily secured reelection for a third two-year term May 15, fending off an eccentric challenge from attorney Lin Wood in a race that grew increasingly combative over the course of a seven-week campaign. (read more)

President Trump – “Congratulations to Drew McKissick on a great win today in his re-elect as Chairman of the Republican Party of South Carolina. It was a great win against a strong and talented opponent. The Republican Party of South Carolina is in good hands and we will continue to go on to victory as we have had in the past two Presidential Elections!” (LINK)

Earlier today President Trump delivered remarks on the Maricopa EMS system (not voter files, but actual voter results) database being deleted.  However, it should be noted there are growing suspicions the database was not deleted, but rather the results files were always connected to an external database and that is what the Board of Supervisors are really trying to hide.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “The entire Database of Maricopa County in Arizona has been DELETED! This is illegal and the Arizona State Senate, who is leading the Forensic Audit, is up in arms. Additionally, seals were broken on the boxes that hold the votes, ballots are missing, and worse. Mark Brnovich, the Attorney General of Arizona, will now be forced to look into this unbelievable Election crime. Many Radical Left Democrats and weak Republicans are very worried about the fact that this has been exposed.

The DELETION of an entire Database and critical Election files of Maricopa County is unprecedented. Many other States to follow. The Mainstream Media and Radical Left Democrats want to stay as far away as possible from the Presidential Election Fraud, which should be one of the biggest stories of our time. Fox News is afraid to cover it—there is rarely a mention. Likewise, Newsmax has been virtually silent on this subject because they are intimidated by threats of lawsuits. One America News (OAN), one of the fastest growing networks on television, and the “hottest”, is doing a magnificent job of exposing the massive fraud that took place. The story is only getting bigger and at some point it will be impossible for the weak and/or corrupt media not to cover. Thank you to OAN and other brave American Patriots. It is all happening quickly!”

Angela Merkel is essentially the de-facto global head of modern political liberalism. The central tenet, almost religious-based in its importance, is the lunacy within “climate change”. However, as most reasonable people have concluded, the ‘climate discussions’ are more about controlled global economics than any actual concerns about planetary climatology. Bottom line, it’s the economics that really matter beyond all else.

CTH has pointed out for several years that Germany’s Angela Merkel, a beloved leader amid the political left, was never going to put her economy in a position of weakness just to appease the environmental lobby.   Chancellor Merkel is a nationalist at heart and within that outlook progressive causes can be advocated but only to the extent that Germany can retain a superior economic condition.

Despite her being heralded by the progressive movement in the U.S, it is all a farce.  Angela Merkel is a political case study in what leftists refuse to admit and even more leftists deny; that is the reality behind the hypocrisy.  The narrative fraud was evident when President Trump pulled out of the Paris climate treaty and immediately Merkel said Germany would also not comply with the treaty demands. From Merkel’s position Germany must always retain a superior position within the EU, no matter what.

The most recent example of this comes from Merkel rejecting carbon emission reduction requirements from her own government.  Merkel knows the environmental wing is full of moonbat policy that runs counter to the economic need of her nation.  Despite the ‘greens’ gaining legislative seats, she will not support carbon dictates that are against the interests of manufacturing and multinational corporations in Germany:

(Via Reuters) German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday rejected demands to bring forward an exit date for ending coal generation in Germany, currently set at 2038. {SEE HERE}

“Those affected need some reliability on the path to climate neutrality,” Merkel said. “I don’t want to unravel this again after one year.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom is taking the federal COVID bailout money to new levels of manipulated intent by using the funds to bail himself out of a recall that is based on the COVID dictates he initiated.

Thus part of the reason why the highly political federal agencies lifted the COVID rules surfaces.  Politically the blue state shutdowns were backfiring, and the ramifications were getting more serious by the day.

The CDC responded to the political shift against JoeBama and lifted their mandates.  Simultaneously, Governor Newsom goes on a spending spree in California to provide bailout money to all the favored leftist causes:

(Via AP) […] His budget released Friday was studded with initiatives favored by his progressive base, including $7.2 billion to pay off people’s outstanding rent and utility bills and $300 million to forgive traffic and other fines for lower-income residents. There also was $35 million to encourage local universal basic income programs and money to give Medicaid benefits to people 60 and older living in the country illegally. (read more)

Will this strategy work for Newsom this year and will it work for Democrats in 2022 mid-terms?…. Only time will tell.  However, the transparency of their political intent is as subtle as a brick through a window.
