Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
The Dem kingmakers and puppeteers will select whom for their nominee? Not Bernie, not Biden. The pro abort, maybe pro infanticide homosexual?
Buttigiege, 38, is a son of a Maltese immigrant. Ivy league grad. Oxford scholar. US Naval Reserve Veteran. He received a direct appointment as an intelligence lieutenant and served in Afghanistan. Years of service were 2009 – 2017. Elected Mayor of South Bend twice. It does seem that he is being groomed for higher office.
While Buttigiege was mayor a crisis pregnancy center requested to relocate near an abortion clinic. The town council approved it, but Mayor Buttigiege vetoed it. Disturbing.
PS he’s either a lapsed Catholic or a Pelosi, Biden, Kaine type of Catholic.
Bad news for Bernie but good news for Trump, mass alienation of his supporters.
@CAM,
Wikipedia says this about Peter Buttigieg:
“Buttigieg is a Christian, and he has said his faith has had a strong influence in his life. His parents baptized him in a Catholic church as an infant and he attended Catholic schools. While at the University of Oxford, Buttigieg began to attend Christ Church Cathedral and said he felt “more-or-less Anglican” by the time he returned to South Bend. St. Augustine, James Martin, and Garry Wills are among his religious influences. A member of the Episcopal Church, Buttigieg is a congregant at the Cathedral of St. James in downtown South Bend.”
Note also that Buttigieg is a “married” homosexual.
There is NO acceptable Democratic candidate. They are one and all godless. Trump may be a foul mouthed New Yorker with a compulsion to vent on Twitter every least little electrical impulse generated by the neutrons in his brain no matter how undignified the vent makes him look, and may have been a womanizer with a demonstrated inability to keep his pants zipped up, but he’s certainly NO worse than that adulterer and murderer whom we know as King David.
How many US Navy vessels fired their big guns at Afghanistan?
Navy Intel isn’t always on ships. OTOH, reserve intel would be at the safer places– and those dates are kind of suspicious, since Obama’s screwing with the officers was pretty dang open by that time. And joining at 27?
T. Shaw asked: “How many US Navy vessels fired their big guns at Afghanistan?”
I don’t know, but some research at Public.Navy.Mil reported this:
“Oct. 7-14, 2001: As the war in Afghanistan enters its second week, British and U.S. naval-launched Tomahawks attack seven target areas—two near Kandahar, one near the crucial crossroads of Mazār-e-Sharīf, and two around the capital of Kabul that collectively consisted of training facilities, surface-to-air missile storage sites, garrisons, and troop staging areas.”
I am pretty sure that a few nuclear submarines from the UK and US unloaded their arsenals along with a few guided missile destroyers. Did you know that the Ohio class nuclear submarine USS Florida (SSGN 728) had all its nuclear ICBMs replaced with conventional Tomahawk missiles (154 missiles in all)? And the submarine I was on – the USS Jacksonville SSN-699, a fast attack – had always carried tactical missiles since initial weapons load after sea trials in 1980 or so. (There wasn’t enough berthing space for nubs like me, so I got to sleep on a rubber mat next to one such missile in the torpedo room.)
Until the Navy perfects magnetic rail gun technology for surface ships, it looks like sea-launched tactical missiles (submarine and surface) will continue to replace big naval guns. Can you imagine those Muslims getting blasted hundreds of miles away in-land by a missile launched from underneath the sea? There’s no retaliation that they can do.
