Associated Press opinion on swamp-infected news about the President at West Point (time for "you're fired")

Darlene Superville’s AP report on the President’s remarks at West Point on June 13, 2020 is about as professional as priest trying to pose as a used car salesman. See https://www.twincities.com/2020/06/13/as-us-seethes-over-race-trump-calls-out-evil-of-slavery/.

Let me list some Superville-AP opinion or Miley-Esper infections she interjected, then express my opinion with the claim that I do not know much.

The U.S. “seethes over race”; civic citizens calmly, serenely resist Democrat rebellion against the republic. The U.S. “racial past”; in his July 1852 speech before the President, Frederick Douglass stated that there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution or its preamble to support the second and third generation’s domestic slave trade; in other words, slave-states traded slaves unconstitutionally. “. . . rare concession”; Trump does his concessions up front, for example, about N.Korea negotiations saying (I recall) we’ll see how negotiations turn out. “. . . threat to democracy”; a journalist would state that the U.S. is a republic. “. . . commitment to avoid partisan politics”; if it does not attack the U.S. Constitution---that is, the Army must uphold the U.S. Constitution against opposing partisans. “ . . . legitimate protests”; ought to be protected from thugs, Democrat mayors and governors, and aliens, by the Army when necessary. “. . . blind obedience”; if the Defense Secretary and the Joint Chiefs of Staff chair rebuke the Commander in Chief why shouldn’t the 18 year old soldier rebuke his Sargent? Should Lincoln have surrendered Ft. Sumter to the Confederate States of America like Seattle surrendered it's Capitol Hill? “Trump . . . was incorrect”; Trump’s “men and women who fought” does not equate to Superville's and AP’s “trained at West Point.” “overlooked . . . graduates who served in the Confederate army”; journalists should have informed writers for the press as well as the public long before now of the civic citizen’s gratitude for the perhaps the world’s most ineluctable evidence that whatever-God-is cannot be persuaded to aid a cause that holds no integrity: no one’s personal God punishes black-skinned people for their ancestors’ sins, and the principle holds for red skins, white skins, yellow skins, indeed all shades of skin-color. “. . . falsely said he destroyed”; destroying the caliphate in place does not imply the ambition is dead. The press would help improve its image from beneath Congress's image by not constructing such stupid opinion as Superville’s bosses pay for.

Now, let me address a couple opinions the President expressed and I don’t hold.

First, “. . . soldiers . . . who fought . . . to ‘extinguish the evil of slavery’”; Bleeding Kansas, R.E. Lee’s December 1856 letter to his wife, the election of Abraham Lincoln, and the 1860 South Carolina Declaration of secession give ineluctable evidence that white-Christian-racist state legislatures attacked white-Christian-abolitionist state legislatures to deny the U.S. Preamble and the articles of the U.S. Constitution. Civic citizens in their states were victims of unconstitutional secession. The U.S. failure to view the Civil War as an erroneous-white-minister-believer vs less-erroneous-white-Christian-minister-believer, or Christian-enslavers attacking Christion-abolitionists, invites repetition of the misery and loss. A prudent, 1856 R.E. Lee would have prepared his wife to sell everything and move to a non-slave state before Virginia would call on him to oppose the U.S. Constitution and the Republican Party being formed by Abraham Lincoln. Further, slavery was imposed on this land as a consequence of over 10,000 years of enslaved-labor, the 14^th century papal doctrine of discovery with African-slave trade, and British dominance of the African-slave trade. Colonial-British Americans got woke to being made slave masters and in 1774 rebelled for their own independence from the world's greatest empire. From 1784, the 13 free and independent states discovered they could not survive as a confederacy and 4 years later framed a nation predicated on 5 public disciplines in order to encourage responsible human independence. The U.S. Preamble is neutral to religion, spiritualism, race, gender, and wealth. Congress and the Supreme Court have messed that up by rebuking the preamble's preposition. AP and Superville haven't a clue.

Second, to Make America Great Again requires reform to September 12, 1787, the day the Constitutional Convention’s Committee of Style issued the U.S. Preamble and its supporting articles, or less than a year later, perhaps at the September 17, 1787 signing. The state-ratification conventions that followed resulted in the 1788 agreement that the fist Congress would amend the 1787 Constitution, at least to include an English-like Bill of Rights. With that appreciation, the President’s statement “defend . . . our nation from our foreign enemies,” while sufficient could be more succinct as: defend ourselves and our posterity from domestic and foreign enemies. In other words, domestic enemies like social democrats and government officials who extol democracy rather than the republic are more harmful to civic citizens than any foreign-aliens.

More than ever, I hope I will be able to vote for Trump/Pence my third time. Also, I hope all civic citizens have sufficient appreciation for the 14 million voters who declined the GOP competition and made it possible for 63 million voters to thoroughly reject the arrogant secretary.

As for media writers, I want to amend the First Amendment so as to defend integrity rather than ambition, and that includes the press, the priests, and the voters who perceive no self-interest in public discipline for responsible human independence.

I don’t know who wrote the President’s speech, but is seems more reliable than Superville’s opinion piece. See https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald-trump-west-point-commencement-speech-transcript.
