George Washington warned Americans: The government they live under is their own creation.

Every now and then in history, we see the right person come on the scene at just the right time. Donald Trump is one of them.

His presidency was one of those that cleared the air. It relieved us, or, at least relegated to the back room, many self-serving, corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. I wanted to write 'silenced' instead of 'relegated to the back room', but that was never going to happen.

For a short time, we became, once again, a nation of We The People.

Retired Admiral McRaven was on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning to give us his kumbaya speech about how we should all get along, accept the guilty verdict of Trump because it was fair, legal, and he would never vote for him anyway.

What nonsense. How can these individuals earn four stars yet struggle to understand people or even determine what is best for our country? It's scary.

People with extensive military experience inform me, with a sense of putting themselves in other positions, that flag officers like McRaven desire a president who is 'weak, malleable, and manageable.'

Controlled by whom? Seems opposite to me. We have checks and balances, and the military isn't one of them. President Kennedy prevented a war with the Soviet Union because he wouldn't be malleable to a military that wanted him to attack, attack!

The admiral has it wrong. The military doesn't control the presidency. It's the other way around. What McRaven is not seeing is that, with Trump, we had no wars, the greatest economy........
