        If not, Mad Dog Mattis is actually Lap Dog Mattis.

        Do the Pentagon leadership know that in American you can actually resign with honor rather than obsequious silence and complicity in the betrayal of our military allies?

        Doubt it. Didn't he just become a board member for one of the companies running child concentration camps? Just like his buddy Kelly.

        We keep hoping for this person or that person to do something all the while democracy keeps slipping away. Until We the People take to the streets this madness will continue. There are enough of us to do it but we are scattered and tired. What will it take? I don’t know.
