Arizona GOP Leaders Respond to Biden Kicking Trump’s Appointees Off Military Boards

The Biden administration told 11 Trump-appointed individuals they must resign or be fired from their positions on military service academy boards of visitors, and leading Arizona Republicans are speaking up about it. The appointees include former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, former senior counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, former national security adviser H.R. McMaster, and former director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought. Others include top former military brass.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, who served in the National Guard reserves, including as a Command Staff Judge Advocate, told The Arizona Sun Times, “It is abundantly clear that choosing the right people to lead our nation’s military is not the Biden Administration’s strength. Categorically removing distinguished men and women who have faithfully served our military boards for years is a shameful example of how the Biden Administration continues to put its radical politics above the safety of all Americans.”

Commentary: Will President Trump Cave to McMaster, Tillerson and Mattis on Obamabomb Deal?

Tennessee Star

by George Rasley CHQ readers will recall that during the campaign then-candidate Donald Trump regularly excoriated the Obama – Iran nuclear weapons deal (JCPOA) saying, “My number one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran. I have been in business a long time. I know deal-making and let me tell you, this deal is catastrophic – for America, for Israel, and for the whole Middle East.” And we’ve explained in any number of articles, most recently in Countdown To Get Us Out Of The Obamabomb Deal With Iran and, Even UN Says Iran Not Complying With Obama Nuclear Weapons Deal, Conservative National Security Experts Urge President Trump to Withdraw From Obama’s Nuclear Deal With Iran, President Trump’s UN Speech vs. Action On Iran And North Korea and If North Korea Has Miniature Nukes, So Does Iran,  the inevitable result of continuing to falsely certify that Iran is in compliance with the nuclear weapons deal, and allowing their continued nuclear weapons and missile development cooperation, is an anti-American world dominated by two nuclear-armed rogue states; North Korea and Iran. The message that the United States must stop falsely certifying that Iran is in compliance with the JCPOA seems to be getting through to the President, but the next…

Commentary: H.R. McMaster Doesn’t Understand The Enemy Or The War

Tennessee Star

  by George Rasley, ConservativeHQ.com Editor   In our article ‘H.R. McMaster Is Proof The Deep State Exists‘ we outlined many of the reasons why President Trump’s National Security Advisor, LTG H.R. McMaster, should be relieved of his White House post. However, there is one more reason, perhaps the most important reason, that we left for treatment in a separate article: McMaster’s demand that the President re-escalate American military operations in Afghanistan. Back in February, Gen. John Nicholson, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee to ask for a “few thousand” more U.S. troops. A few weeks later, Gen. Joseph McMaster in AfghanistanVotel, head of U.S. Central Command, echoed Nicholson’s request, telling senators that a new “strategy” for Afghanistan had to “involve additional forces.” During his Senate testimony, Nicholson was asked by Senator John McCain, who strongly advocates more US troops in Afghanistan, whether the U.S. was winning or losing in Afghanistan. “I believe we are in a stalemate,” replied the general. “We are not winning in Afghanistan,” Defense Secretary James Mattis later testified. Fast forward to July, when President Donald Trump’s senior Cabinet officials and top national security advisers met for a contentious…

Commentary: H.R. McMaster Is Proof The Deep State Exists

Tennessee Star

  George Rasley, CHQ Editor   What would you say if Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence on the National Security Council, who discovered the Obama-era unmasking of the names of Donald Trump associates whose communications were perhaps illegally intercepted and leaked by the Obama intelligence apparatus, was fired, and that Susan Rice, the person at the heart of the Benghazi cover-up and the unmasking and leaking of the unmasked names, was granted a renewal of her Top Secret security clearance? If you said that could never happen in a Donald Trump administration you’d be wrong, because H.R. McMaster, President Trump’s National Security Advisor just did it. And what would you say if the same person who fired Ezra Cohen-Watnick also fired other Trump loyalists with stellar records, such as Col. Derek Harvey, the NSC’s Middle East director and Rich Higgins (an early Trump supporter and advisor) who was in the NSC’s strategic-planning office? If you said that could never happen in a Donald Trump administration you’d be wrong about that too, because H.R. McMaster, President Trump’s National Security Advisor just did it. And what would you say if the same person who fired all of these brilliant national…
