1. "we can take them at their word" is not something that i can say about any living person

but i'd be more likely to believe putin than anyone in mar a lago.

2. Same here! Given that we started with George Washington and "Honest Abe," how did we end up with liars??

3. "honest abe " was a campaign slogan

that is a tall tale about the cherry tree.

hard to imagine campaigning in districts of illiterate hardscrabble homesteaders who might shoot you for showing up uninvited.

4. Well then, I'll refer to a president that I knew in my lifetime - Jimmy Carter

When Jimmy Carter took office, he publicly swore to always tell the truth. So for his entire term of office, the media closely examined every statement he made, looking for some hint of untruth. So what happened???

7. You know who does know what he's talking about? Malcolm Nance.

He spent a whole lot of time in the area as a Navy Chief and as a spy He is making a video every day and posting on Substack - basically with everything that has happened since the previous one. After being on Substack, they are posted on YouTube. He works with a co-host - a former Danish spy whi worked in the same region at least partially at the same time. They are long - probably too long for here - becuse they are comprehensive. But you might appreciate him - from your posts I deduce you want to be as knowledgeable as possible.

So here's the link to the second page of his channel, which has all his videos in reverse chronological order so the dispatches are right at the top.
