Each year I blog to help predict the races in our area. Many of you stop me to state your agreement or disagreement and I appreciate that. As long as we have freedom of expression of ideas, I will do my best to exercise mine so you can exercise yours.

US Congressional Race:
To me this is the most important race, even more important than the presidency because it will be the Congress that gives the president the power to go to war. Who we elect for Congress will determine how Barksdale and Fort Polk are treated for decades. Republican Lt. Col. Oliver Jenkins received many endorsements, including the endorsement of Ret. Brig. General Peyton Cole and the Fraternal Order of Police. His wife Anne Selber Jenkins and he have been married 18 years and have two children. After retiring from the Marines, he ran an Oil and Gas business and served at Chairman of the Shreveport City Council.
Lt. Col. Oliver Jenkins served twenty years in the Marine Corp as an F-18 Fighter pilot. He served under Admiral McRaven, who is rumored to be next Secretary of Defense. This is an important connection for our area. This decorated war veteran will most likely be falsely attacked in the last few weeks because the establishment does not want veterans in Congress. Less that 20% of Congress is war veterans.
You can review Oliver's stances here www.electoliver.com. You can also watch my endorsement speech of Lt. Col. Oliver Jenkins at https://youtu.be/peUA8dSmUds

This is a critical juncture in history. Our country is on the road to irrelevance and the slope has been increasing for decades. We are approaching the point where brakes won't be able to stop our descent.
ReplyDeleteAs a retired Air Force Officer, and combat veteran, I understand and appreciate the appeal of electing a veteran to represent us. But if we don't elect someone who's passionate about the Constitution and what it represents, we can spend every dollar collected in taxes on Barksdale AFB and Fort Polk and it won't make a dime's worth of difference. We will have nothing left to defend.
John Adams famously said "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
There is no doubt that Mike Johnson knows and lives with this principle in mind. He knows the Constitution better than anyone I've ever met. And he has a record of putting principles first.
In times past, maybe you could've excused yourself for voting your interests over principles. This is not that time.
We need someone with a proven record of support and protection of life and liberty. We need someone dedicated to applying the emergency brake and turning this country around.
That's right Raymond. Thank you for your service & unwavering leadership!
