When I was in the U.S. Marine Corps about 60 years ago it seemed to me that the organization sending messages would assign the classification.
I wonder if that explains why the SoS didn’t seem to know anything about the tragedy. I’m certain the messages coming from Bengazi were classified and if she received no classified mail on her server why, of course, she couldn’t possibly know what was happening. Maybe we owe her an apology.
I wonder why blacks think they are owed something because of the evil that was slavery.
You look at the people now who are dying (literally) to get out of Africa and wonder if they were assured that their children would have the opportunity that the blacks in the U.S. now have if they would not have volunteered to be enslaved as awful as that sounds. I wonder why blacks don’t look back on the sacrifices made by their ancestors and work to make certain that they were not in vain?
The logic for “sanctuary” cities (and states) is that it is necessary so the Hispanics (native and undocumented) will give information on the illegal activities of other Hispanics.
I wonder why they don’t realize that these ‘other’ Hispanics are bringing a lot of ‘heat’ on their communities. Don’t they know that they would be a lot better off if these “other” members of their communities were deported?
Conservatives certainly can’t brag about their efforts to help minorities. They are few and far between but I wonder why a thoughtful and concerned person wouldn’t realize that most of the real awful things done to blacks were done by Democratic regimes.
I wonder if that is why so little U.S. history is taught in school. It amazes me that so many of today’s youths don’t know why the Civil War was fought, who won or even in what country it was fought. I hate conspiracy theories but what do you think? Possible?
Environmentalists confound me. I wonder if they don’t realize that a forest was meant to be a crop, like a field or grain or corn, and is no more or less beautiful. It just takes longer to mature. And mature it does.
Recently, two people were killed by a mature and dying tree shedding its limbs. At least two parks in the Northwest have been closed to prevent the same happening here.
Without logging to build and maintain logging roads and fire breaks the whole northwest landscape is likely to end up as a treeless charred wasteland from which no one benefits. There are neither personnel or funds to continue to fight the present fires for long. Pray for rain!
