There Were No Patriots in the January 6 Insurrection

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/09/there-were-no-patriots-in-january-6.html

Not by any definition of the term "Patriot" that we know. Nor was there any "tyranny" that they were suffering. They were just mad that their guy didn't win the election.

What Afganistan Was and What it Wasn't: It was not a Biden "botch" or "disaster"

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/09/what-afghanistan-was-and-what-it-wasnt.html

Yes, this is a little long, but don't comment on Afghanistan unless you know a little background and history. Biden's knowledge and experience kept this from being the disaster that it could have been. He had the disadvantage of coming along long after it was clear the corrupt Afghan government created by the US invasion would never have the support of the people to stand on its own, after the negotiations to exit had been politicized, deliberately placed in 2021 so Trump could avoid the political consequences of it, and after Trump undermined the Afghan government by trying to secretly negotiate with the Taliban and refused to cooperate in the presidential transition.

It was a remarkable achievement and Democrats and Independents need to keep fighting the narrative that this was a botched disaster.

Being Pro-Life is More Than Just Being Against Abortion

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/09/being-pro-life-is-more-than-just-being.html

It's not a single issue position and being anti-vaxxer or against mask mandates nullifies the claim.

The Failure in Afghanistan is a Political Narrative, But It's Not Biden's Failure

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/08/the-failure-in-afghanistan-is-political.html

Time for the media to wake up and smell the coffee. Trump set all of this in motion when he undermined the democratic government of Afghanistan by making a "deal" directly with the Taliban. Bush got us in the mess in the first place. Biden has had to make the best of what he was given and come along with a broom to clean all of this up.

Do you really think if the orange buffoon was still in office, he'd have been able to organize an airlift and evacuate 120,000 Americans and Afghans?

Biden is the best President we've had since Obama, and one of the best of the past two centuries and were just a couple hundred days into his first term. Do you want to go back to what we had? Then get real, stop being a Debbie Downer and open your eyes.

A Lost Opportunity for Evangelical Christians

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/08/a-lost-opportunity-for-evangelical.html

Political power has replaced Biblical authority among Evangelicals. Dan Darling's firing from the National Religious Broadcasters executive board is a clear indication of this.

Arizona Republicans have a long history of making themselves look bad

The sham Cyber Ninja alleged audit-disaster is just one of many such events. It's about time for Democrats to capitalize and win more elections.

A President for Our Time

Read it through, it's about Biden. But enjoy the history too, and the comparison.

Quit Calling the Afghanistan Evacuation a "Debacle"

Put the emphasis for a debacle where it belongs, on the Republicans, Bush and Trump. Biden is demonstrating more competence and expertise, and is acting more like we expect from a President of the United States than anyone who was involved with this has acted. And if you believe otherwise, you're listening to the wrong source of information.
