"I DON'T THINK I SAW ONE PERSON IN 17 YEARS COMING OFF THE PITCH WITH BREATHING..."
My own view: Even though I never was a pro football/soccer player, I played all my life often at high level.
I considered myself a high level athlete, between soccer, martial arts, and other.
I never saw such a thing either. What is wrong with those trained athletes?
Have the bodies of these new generations weakened so bad?
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) is in stable condition after being shot early Wednesday early morning at a baseball practice field in a Washington D.C. suburb, in Alexandria, Va., according to multiple reports. Scalise was one of several people shot at the practice.
The Deep State exists, and controls (financially or forcefully) our government structure.
The Shadow Government or the Seep State has been exposed, we know of their covert existence.
The Elites of the World have anchored themselves into the Deep State.
The New World Order, so praised by papa Bush, is furiously battling the remnants of the our Constitutional Republic.
WE are confronted with TWO (2) outcomes:
They overthrow our last chance for Liberty, by replacing the Trump Administration,
POTUS goes after them with all means available, and WE the people back him up.
There is however a wild card. A shooting WAR on US soil.
The Two opposed factions in the government might start killing each other.
The Two opposed PEOPLE might start a shooting or a Civil War. The leftists have been preparing and are ready for this.
We have to opposed groups of people in America. Although a 'divorce' and separation might be preferable, we may have a fight inside our house. Two opposed groups:
Antifa; Socialists; Marxists; Communists; Muslim Extremists; and other anti-American groups.
Trump supporters; Liberty and Constitutionally minded Americans; some Republicans; most Judaeo Christians.

1910: Korea under Japanese rule, end of the Joseon dynastic monarchy.
1945: Division of Korea between North and South Korea; result of the Allied victory in World War II in 1945, ending the Empire of Japan's 35-year rule of Korea. The United States and the Soviet Union occupied the country, with the boundary between their zones of control along the 38th parallel.
With the onset of the Cold War, negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union failed to lead to an independent, unified Korea.
1950: Korean War began when North Korea invaded South Korea June 1950. After the first two months of war, South Korean forces were on the point of defeat, forced back to the Pusan Perimeter. In September 1950, an amphibious UN counter-offensive was launched at Inchon, and cut off many North Korean troops. Those who escaped envelopment and capture were rapidly forced back north all the way to the border with China at the Yalu River, or into the mountainous interior. At this point, in October 1950, Chinese forces crossed the Yalu and entered the war. Chinese intervention triggered a retreat of UN forces which continued until mid-1951. After these reversals of fortune, which saw Seoul change hands four times, the last two years of fighting became a war of attrition, with the front line close to the 38th parallel. The war in the air, however, was never a stalemate. North Korea was subject to a massive bombing campaign. Jet fighters confronted each other in air-to-air combat for the first time in history, and Soviet pilots covertly flew in defense of their communist allies.
1953: The fighting ended on 27 July 1953, when an armistice was signed. The two Koreas are technically still at war.
Pusan Perimeter in Green.
Had Russia remained in the North, the same thing that happened in Germany (Berlin wall), would have occurred, and Korea would be reunited today.
Instead, China the trouble maker it has been for thousands of years in this Area of Operation, is using North Korea as an ideological buffer zone.
China should have and should encourage the North and South to reunite.
If any or, all of the below is true, WE THE PEOPLE are looking at a scenario which has been used to drag this nation and its young adults into costly, military conflicts which resemble Viet Nam, Iraq, etc. over and over through the decades.
[As Lake explains, McMaster himself has found resistance to a more robust ground troop presence in Syria. In two meetings since the end of February of Trump's national security cabinet, known as the principals' committee, Trump's top advisers have failed to reach consensus on the Islamic State strategy. The White House and administration officials say Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford and General Joseph Votel, who is in charge of U.S. Central Command, oppose sending more conventional forces into Syria.
An interesting aside: according to a Lake source, Stephen Bannon had "derided" McMaster to his colleagues as trying to start a new Iraq War. Bannon's opposition to yet another US conflict - one which would have the clear goal of replacing the Assad regime - may explain why the former Breitbart head is on his way out.

So where in the process is the McMaster "ground war" plan currently? Lake reports that it is still in its early stages.
Because Trump's national security cabinet has not reached consensus, the Islamic State war plan is now being debated at the policy coordinating committee, the interagency group hosted at the State Department of subject matter experts that prepares issues for the principals' committee and deputies' committee, after which a question reaches the president's desk for a decision.
Of course, following the recent cleansing of the NSC as per McMaster himself, which kicked out such skeptics as Bannon, whatever the new national security advisor wants, is what he will get.
And what he wants, based on the preliminary information, is a land war.
Inside the Pentagon, military leaders favor a more robust version of Obama's strategy against the Islamic State. This has been a combination of airstrikes and special operations forces that train and support local forces... McMaster however is skeptical of this approach. To start, it relies primarily on Syrian Kurdish militias to conquer and hold Arab-majority territory. Jack Keane, a retired four-star Army general who is close to McMaster, acknowledged to me this week that the Kurdish forces have been willing to fight the Islamic State, whereas Arab militias have primarily fought against the Assad regime.
Keane told Lake he favored a plan to begin a military operation along the Euphrates River Valley. "A better option is to start the operation in the southeast along the Euphrates River Valley, establish a U.S. base of operations, work with our Sunni Arab coalition partners, who have made repeated offers to help us against the regime and also ISIS. We have turned those down during the Obama administration."
That particular plan would require an initial force of 10,000 troops:
Keane added that U.S. conventional forces would be the anchor of that initial push, which he said would most likely require around 10,000 U.S. conventional forces, with an expectation that Arab allies in the region would provide more troops to the U.S.-led effort.
With time, however, the number will grow dramatically.]
"A More Efficient Gov't" doesn't allow ventures of folly, especially those which have been historically committed over and over by the leadership of this Republic. Many 'ordinary Americans' are wise to the follies of the elites who have steered our "Ship Of State." The jury is still out on your 1st 100 days Sir. You have potential in this writer's mind but for my colleagues, I cannot account. The people of this nation elected you because WE are genuinely tired of the degradation of the principles and original intent of A Constitutional Republic which assures the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all of its citizens NOT JUST THE UBER-RICH!
McMaster will be your Westmoreland, or worse, the mind behind our last costly folly.
