Started my day off right (81 today) but it is spiraling–this is from The National Pulse.

I’m seeing a couple of red flags. These stand out to me…..

  • “…I have decided to resign from my position…. effective today….”
  • “…we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby….”
  • “…Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials…deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran….”
  • “…as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel….” [my emphases]

If you take a high ranking position in an administration…of either party….you are signing on to that President’s decisions. If you have differences, you do your best to change minds inside the building, and if you’re unsuccessful at that, the right thing to do is to leave. But how you leave is important. When you resign “effective today”, you’re leaving the people that you worked for and with in a lurch. You owe everyone involved some notice that your differences with your bosses have become intolerable.

Also, “pressure from Israel”, “Israeli…misinformation campaign”, and “a war manufactured by Israel” reveal a mindset that is actively avoiding the other players in global geopolitics. If Kent believed that everything began and ended in Israel, then maybe he was never the right guy for this job.

If in good conscience you can no longer stay in your position, then this is how you do it. You give a reasonable notice of your departure. You issue a bland statement of how rewarding your career has been. The real reasons for your decision to leave are expressed behind closed doors and not splashed around publicly.

Sorry, not sorry, but while I had little reason to know anything about Joe Kent before today, his snit with Trump has left me with a poor view of him for the future.

As always, YMMV.

I don’t disagree with the notion of “not burning bridges” and acting in a congenial manner, but entertain the idea that he knows something we don’t.

Me? I’ve done my learning about this criminal gov’t and I will never place it in the role of normal society. To me it deserves none of the things I mentioned in the first sentence. But that’s me.

Stirring, beautiful Scottish music from a time when it was a country to be proud of. Sadly now a poor socialist shadow of its former feisty, inventive and productive self.
