Please bear with me.<\/p>\n<p>CNN: \u201cA Pentagon spokesman confirmed Wednesday that retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor \u201cwill be serving as a Senior Advisor to the Acting Secretary of Defense. Mr. MacGregor\u2019s decades of military experience will be used to assist in the continued implementation of the President\u2019s national security priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also CNN:\u00a0<b>\u201cMacgregor once advocated for the use of lethal force against unarmed migrants [..] and has made a litany of racist comments.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I must admit even my encyclopedic brain had never heard of Macgregor, and I\u2019m sure most of you hadn\u2019t either, but I\u2019m taking a liking to the man. \u201cThe use of lethal force against unarmed migrants\u201d sounds bogus off the bat, that\u2019s \u201cPutin eats babies\u201d territory, and accusing someone of \u201ca litany of racist comments\u201d without naming even one, doesn\u2019t do it for me either.<\/p>\n<p>And even then. The man wants to bring US troops home. Oh wait, but that\u2019s why you accuse him of all these unsubstantiated \u201cfacts\u201d. Gotcha. What I do know is for instance this Nov 6 2019 interview Macgregor did with Tucker Carlson, in which he sounds like a reasonable yet worried man. And while opinions may differ on how big of a threat drug cartels may be to the US, his view appears to have its merit.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bring Them Home for Christmas Pablo Picasso\u00a0Dans l\u2019atelier\u00a01954\u201cThere is nothing in Afghanistan worth the life of a single American soldier.\u201d \u2013 Douglas Macgregor I\u2019m having a bit of a problem finding the right format for this essay.
