THE LOST WEST?

Submitted by ub on

Several topics need to be discussed with these following words to the wise for those who think on their feet and read between the lines.

With what Russia is doing to the GOP Reagan and Bush would be spinning over in their graves if they saw the way this #MAGA cult follows and bows down to Putin. The rest of us real patriots know we need to stop this murderous Russian dictator now before he goes further.
I was recruited by the Republican tag team of the Reagan-Bush administration to lead a news division at the United States Information Agency's TVM now known as Marti Media. https://www.usagm.gov/2020/05/20/martis-broadcasting-to-cuba-marks-35-y…

Do you want to know how the West was lost?  It's concerning to learn about such extreme and disruptive behavior in the House of Representatives. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to amend the Ukraine aid bill with such outlandish and inappropriate demands reflects a lack of seriousness and responsibility in her approach to governance.

Attempting to tie aid for Ukraine to unrelated and inflammatory demands, such as withdrawing from NATO, interfering in Ukrainian internal affairs, and targeting ethnic minorities, is not only counterproductive but also deeply irresponsible. These actions undermine the bipartisan efforts to support Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression and sow division within the United States.

Furthermore, attempting to leverage foreign aid for personal or political gain, such as demanding information related to Hunter Biden and Burisma, is highly inappropriate and potentially unethical.

Elected officials must prioritize the national interest and uphold the values of diplomacy, cooperation, and respect for human rights. Behavior like this only serves to undermine the integrity of the legislative process and erode public trust in our democratic institutions.

The first topic is about the fight happening in the Republican-led US House of Representatives, which is causing members to leave. 

The second one relates to the threat made by Putin's Russian forces to destroy American democracy and the US justice system, and whether such a threat is still relevant today. 

The third is to stress the importance of proactive leadership that focuses on maintaining a positive organizational culture and ensuring operational effectiveness. It highlights the significance of recognizing and addressing issues related to performance and culture for long-term success. Effective leadership requires holding individuals accountable, providing necessary training, and fostering open communication. By prioritizing transparency, empathy, and accountability, leaders can cultivate a more engaged and high-performing workforce. 

The fourth is about the negative impact that non-performers can have on our overall culture, and how leadership should take action to address this by providing necessary direction or letting the voters decide to let them go. Poor performers reflect poorly on the leadership, and it is essential to hold them accountable to ensure our national effectiveness. 

The final topic that needs to be discussed is the importance of honest conversation and accountability in creating a positive national culture. Leaders need to be transparent communicators, committed to elevating the buy-in and the skill sets of their constituents. This requires an engaged and committed political system to achieve success.

MTGOP
She’s the puppet who played on the hill.
She knew what she did, would do her country ill.
She roared and she ranted, she never recanted.
But deep down inside her honour had died.
Her message was clear, to lie and to smear.
To hurt and to damage, on behalf of a savage.
But now time has changed, her power has waned.
The brave and the free rose up from their knees
And called for a vote to ram down her throat.
To make MTGOP eat fresh made - democracy!
