KOMMONSENTSJANE – Afghanistan Withdrawal Report.

12/05/2025

As we all know under the guise of Biden/Obama our whole country had been weaponized and law and order was not on the table, nor was the Constitution in play during their 12 years of lawlessness. DOGE proved what the Democrats did to our country.

We are still waiting for that era to be adjudicated. This report covers our country’s weakness and sickness by the Democrats who were in charge.

There is so much to cover – the deer are still looking into the headlights?


Watch: Afghanistan Withdrawal Report to Expose Biden’s Top Brass

In a powerful demonstration of the new era of transparency and accountability ushered in by the administration of President Donald Trump, Senior Advisor Sean Parnell has provided a stunning update on the investigation into the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal. Speaking exclusively to The Gateway Pundit at the Pentagon, Parnell, who is leading the comprehensive review for the Department of War, revealed that the damning report will be released to the public sooner than anticipated and in its entirety. “I hope to have it finished, out, published, completely unclassified,” Parnell stated, boldly committing to a level of openness that the previous Biden administration fought ruthlessly to avoid.

This stands in stark contrast to the obfuscation and excuse-making that defined the liberal media’s coverage of the disaster, which left 13 American service members dead in August of 2021. While the legacy press parroted White House talking points and downplayed the failures of leadership, the Trump administration is now ensuring that every detail is laid bare for the families of the fallen and the American people. Parnell emphasized that “the ultimate goal is to declassify everything for the American people,” adding, “There’s really no reason for it to have the classification level that it does. Accountability is a core tenet of this mission.” This commitment exposes how the prior regime used classification not for national security, but as a shield to protect the guilty from the consequences of their lethal incompetence.

The investigation promises to target the highest levels of the failed chain of command, confirming the warnings President Trump has issued for years about the weakness and failed judgment of the previous administration’s appointees. When asked if Biden’s top military leaders will face real accountability, Parnell’s response was unequivocal and refreshing: “Nobody’s immune.” He promised the public will see “a whole hell of a lot more information come out about the scenario that you just outlined, about what we knew about the attack, the attacker, and how it unfolded, and how decisions were made.” This directly addresses the horrific reporting that top officials, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and General Mark Milley, knew of the specific threat at Abbey Gate and yet failed to act, a betrayal of duty that the sycophantic media complex spent years trying to bury under a mountain of distractions.

Addressing the deep and justified public cynicism that the powerful ever face consequences, Parnell channeled the frustration of millions of Americans who have watched a two-tiered system of justice operate with impunity. “Can you blame them?” he said, acknowledging the disillusionment. He then reaffirmed the foundational promise of the Trump presidency, stating that this administration is “different” and is dedicated to ensuring the American people “know that their government officials are held to the same standard as them.” This is the principle of equal application of the law that President Trump champions, a principle utterly foreign to the political elites and their media defenders who are now seeing their protected class status revoked.

The resolve of the Trump administration extends beyond retrospective analysis, as shown by the simultaneous investigation into Democratic Senator Mark Kelly for his seditious calls for military insubordination. This bold action underscores a fundamental restoration of order and respect for the chain of command, a stark reversal from the previous administration’s politicization of the nation’s armed forces. It is a clear signal that under President Trump, the era of cowardly leadership and media-enabled corruption is over, replaced by a steadfast pursuit of truth and justice that the American people have demanded.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – The Truth About Mark Kelly’s “Illegal Orders” Message.

12/05/2025

ttps://beardsofliberty.com/watch-stephen-a-smith-vs-sunny-hostin-the-truth-about-mark-kellys-illegal-orders-message/

Very disappointed in Senator Kelly, especially with all of the experience he has had. .And, the ladies of the view need to stick to subjects they know more about. They sure walked off that cliff.

****

Stephen A. Smith didn’t walk onto The View expecting a warm embrace, but he probably didn’t expect to become the only adult in the room either. Yet here we are. The usually bombastic ESPN star ended up being the sole voice willing to say what everyone else won’t: that Sen. Mark Kelly and a handful of Democrats crossed a line when they released a political warning video encouraging military members to “refuse illegal orders” from Donald Trump. And naturally, the ladies of The View reacted like someone unplugged their teleprompter mid-sentence. Sunny Hostin called him “loud and wrong,” Joy Behar lectured him about military protocol she’s never read, and Whoopi seemed personally offended that Stephen A. dared to question a Democrat. But for once, Stephen A. didn’t back down. And honestly, good for him.

The entire fight revolves around one thing Democrats desperately want to pretend is true: that Trump was issuing illegal military orders. That’s the foundation of Kelly’s video — the quiet insinuation that Trump is a rogue commander instructing troops to do something unlawful. Except Democrats never explain what illegal order they’re talking about, because the moment they do, the whole performance collapses. The “illegal order” in question? Trump authorized U.S. forces to blow up narco-terrorist drug boats operating in international waters. These aren’t fishing vessels or innocent cruise ships. They are cartel-run smuggling crafts transporting poison into the United States — and yes, under federal law, those boats can be seized, disabled, or destroyed. It’s been that way for decades.

Here’s the part Stephen A. should have countered with, the part the women on The View conveniently left out, and the part Democrats never want to say aloud: Trump’s orders were 100% legal. Not sort of legal. Not “interpretation-dependent” legal. Fully, unquestionably legal. Under Article II of the Constitution, the President is the Commander-in-Chief. He has the authority to direct military force against hostile foreign actors. Then add the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act, which gives the United States jurisdiction to interdict and destroy vessels involved in drug trafficking — whether or not they’re flying a national flag. Pile on decades of Rules of Engagement and Title 10 authority where the U.S. has repeatedly seized or sunk cartel vessels under multiple administrations. Nothing Trump ordered was new. Nothing he ordered was rogue. Nothing he ordered violated U.S. or international law. And here’s the real kicker: the only difference this time was tone. Trump didn’t sugarcoat the mission, bury it in legalese, or hide it behind an agency press release. He showed America exactly what was happening. He showed the cartel boats being neutralized. He showed the operations. He made the consequences visible. He turned enforcement into deterrence — because when the bad guys see their boats getting vaporized on camera, the message spreads a whole lot faster than a memo from DHS. That’s what Democrats really hated. Not the legality. Not the policy. The visibility. The fact that Trump refused to be polite about taking out narco-terrorists, and instead let the entire hemisphere know the United States wasn’t playing around. And for that, apparently, the military needed a pre-emptive mutiny briefing.

That’s why Stephen A. Smith was right to call out Mark Kelly. Kelly knows the military better than the average Democrat senator. He’s a former Navy combat pilot. He absolutely knows the difference between a lawful and an unlawful command. Which is exactly why his video wasn’t about educating troops — it was about framing Trump as a danger. Kelly wasn’t teaching. He was implying. And implying that the Commander-in-Chief might issue illegal orders is not something a former officer should be doing casually on camera, especially not to score political points.

And this is where The View lost its collective mind. Sunny Hostin, who believes her law degree makes her an expert on every subject known to mankind, tried to lecture Stephen A. on the military code of conduct. Joy chimed in with the classic “He said ILLEGAL orders!” defense, as if inserting the word automatically absolves Kelly of what he was actually doing — planting doubt. Stephen A. pushed back, pointing out that the issue wasn’t the word “illegal,” it was the fact that Kelly’s video framed Trump’s lawful actions as if they were illegal. And in the military, nuance isn’t a suggestion. Troops don’t operate on the principle of “Well, the senator probably meant well.” They operate on clarity, precision, and chain of command. Anything that inserts confusion into that structure is dangerous.

This is where Stephen A. showed more common sense than the entire panel combined. He spoke to people who have actually been in the military — not people who have seen movies about the military — and they told him exactly what veterans know: even implying that a service member should question an order can get that service member into trouble. Civilians don’t get this. Talk show hosts don’t get this. But the military absolutely does. When Kelly made that video, he wasn’t sending a message to Trump. He was sending a message to the rank and file: “We’re not so sure about your Commander-in-Chief.”

If that sounds small to civilians, it isn’t small to anyone who has ever worn the uniform. The chain of command is not a suggestion. It is the backbone of the U.S. armed forces. The moment you encourage troops to individually decide which orders might be “illegal” based on partisan messaging videos, you’re not defending democracy — you’re undermining it. Because the military cannot function if troops are encouraged to operate based on political vibes. And Democrats know this. They just don’t care.

What they care about is creating the narrative that Trump is dangerous. That he’s unstable. That he’s issuing unlawful orders. And that the military must prepare to resist him. But at some point, we have to ask: resist what? Ordering the destruction of drug boats used by cartels? That’s not illegal. That’s called defending the country. It’s called national security. And it’s something Democrats were fine with back when they trusted law enforcement more than drug cartels — a long-forgotten era.

The funniest part of this whole disaster is how furious The View became at Stephen A. for simply refusing to bow. They’re used to steamrolling their guests until they apologize for existing. Instead, Stephen A. told them they were wrong, held his ground, and refused to retreat. They weren’t prepared for that. They expected a guest. They got a debate. And they lost.

Stephen A. Smith didn’t just defend Trump. He defended the truth. He defended military discipline. And he defended the idea that if politicians want to accuse a President of giving illegal orders, they should have the decency to explain which orders and why. Mark Kelly didn’t do that. He didn’t want clarity. He wanted insinuation. And Stephen A. called him on it. But let’s be honest — while Stephen A. was absolutely right, he didn’t package the argument as cleanly as it deserved. He swung hard, he swung fast, but he never quite connected with the knockout point: that the orders weren’t just not illegal — they were standard, lawful military operations that Democrats tried to spin into a crisis. In other words, Stephen A. was on the right battlefield, delivering the right message… he just didn’t fire the heaviest ammunition he had.

The bottom line is simple: Trump’s orders were legal. Mark Kelly’s video was political. The View‘s meltdown was predictable. And Stephen A. Smith was absolutely right to stand his ground and refuse to be intimidated by a table full of people who get louder the moment they get wronger.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – A DIFFERENT KIND OF DRUG PROBLEM – 2..

KOMMONSENTSJANE – A DIFFERENT KIND OF DRUG PROBLEM

Posted on June 2, 2014 by kommonsentsjane

This was too good not to reblog it. Our family Christmas dinner is December 6, 2025. The dinner is dedicated to our PARENTS, JOHN AND BARBARA MAZOCH, and their four boys and four girls. I am one of those girls.

Reblogged on kommonsentsjane

Growing up in a large family certainly has an advantage.   If you are the junior  person in the family you learn more by watching instead of actually participating because you have all of these siblings to learn from just by observing. The following is a true story written by my nephew, Paul, on how he came through family life and which I can attest to because his mother was my oldest sister, Nettie. As the story goes,  

“The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, ‘Why didn’t we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?'”  

“I replied, I had a drug problem when I was young:  I was drug*  to church on Sunday morning.   I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.  I was drug to family reunions and community socials and no matter the weather.”  

“I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.  I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect , spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn’t put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.”  

“I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity.  I was drug out to pull weeds in my Mother’s garden and flower beds and cockle burrs out of  Dad’s field.  I was drug to the homes of family friends and neighbors to help out  a poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothes lines, or chop firewood; and, if my Mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me out to the woodshed.”

“Those drugs are still in my veins and how they affect my behavior in everything I do, say or think.  They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroine; and, if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.”  

“God Bless the parents who drug me!”  

Don’t we wish that all children could be fortunate to have a set of parents like this and could be hooked on this kind of  drug?

Thank you, Paul, for speaking out for a set of parents who are a rare breed.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Causes of Unemployment – 7 Main Reasons.

12/03/2025

We do have to understand that AI and the replacement of humans with robots is a big factor at the present time. Some people are trying to blame the tariffs. We all know our country has been under great stress due to the Democrats spending habits. In order to bring our country back to a level of prosperity, President Trump has started the tariff program – whereby the Democrats were giving our money and goods with a very low tariff. It seemed the Democrat Socialists were paying countries to buy our goods and the fact that the Democrats/Bush II/former Republican turned Democrat ran out most of the manufacturing companies..

Now, President Trump is taking our country back to prosperity by re-establishing manufacturing in the country with the Democrat Socialists kicking and screaming and doing everything they can to stop him.

We have to understand that AI will change our work force because humans will be replaced and the AI folks will have to establish with the government an additional column in the employment report called non-humans. The new unemployed will have to seek other work or form their own new business.

As far as the tariffs are concerned and our high debt, we need to pay off the debt. Some say that bankruptcy will be claimed and others state that we have to be in debt because our dollar is used as the world currency?

7 Causes of Unemployment

What’s Behind Each Type of Unemployment?

There are seven causes of unemployment. Four causes create frictional unemployment. This type of unemployment is when employees leave their jobs to find a better one. Two causes create structural unemployment. That is when workers’ skills or income requirements no longer match the jobs available. The seventh cause leads to cyclical unemployment.1

Frictional and structural unemployment occurs even in a healthy economy. The natural rate of unemployment is between 4% and 5%, according to the Federal Reserve.2 The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) defines unemployed people as those who are jobless and have actively looked for work in the past four weeks as well as those who have been temporarily laid off from a job. If they don’t keep looking, the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t count them in the labor force.3

An image of a man holding his head in his hands in sadness. Text reads: The seven causes of unemployment. Cyclical: Demand-deficient unemployment, Structural: Advances in technology and Job outsourcing, Frictional: Voluntary, Relocation, Newly entering the workforce, and Re-entering the workforce.
The Balance

4 Causes of Frictional Unemployment

One cause of unemployment is voluntarily leaving the workforce. Some of the unemployed have saved enough money so they can quit unfulfilling jobs. They have the luxury of searching until they find just the right opportunity. The second cause is when workers relocate. They are unemployed until they find a position in the new town.

The third cause is when new workers enter the workforce. This includes students who graduate from high school, college, or any higher degree program. They look for a job that fits their new skills and qualifications. That is a primary cause of youth unemployment.4

The fourth cause is when job seekers re-enter the workforce. These are people who went through a period in their lives when they stopped looking for work. They could have stopped working to raise children, get married, or care for elderly relatives. These four causes are an unavoidable part of the job search process. The good news is that frictional unemployment is usually voluntary and short-term.

2 Causes of Structural Unemployment

Structural unemployment is neither voluntary nor short-term. These next two causes lead to long-term unemployment. The fifth cause is advances in technology. This is when computers or robots replace workers. Most of these workers need more training before they can find a new job in their field.

The sixth cause is job outsourcing. That is when a company moves its manufacturing or call centers to another country. Labor costs are cheaper in countries with a lower cost of living. This situation occurred in many states after NAFTA was signed in 1994. Many manufacturing jobs moved to Mexico.5 It also occurred once workers in China and India gained the skills needed by American companies.67

What Causes Cyclical Unemployment?

The seventh cause of unemployment is when there are fewer jobs than applicants. The technical term is demand-deficient unemployment. When it happens during the recession phase of the business cycle, it’s called cyclical unemployment.81 

Low consumer demand creates cyclical unemployment. Company profits fall when demand falls. If companies don’t expect sales to pick up anytime soon, they generally lay off workers. The higher unemployment causes consumer demand to drop even more, which is why it’s cyclical. It results in large-scale unemployment.9 Examples include the financial crisis of 2008 and the Great Depression of 1929.

Raising the Minimum Wage and Demand-Deficit Unemployment

Demand-deficit unemployment sometimes occurs when wages are too high.8 That’s one of the arguments against higher minimum wages. Critics argue that when businesses are forced to pay a higher salary per person, they must let other workers go.10

Note

In some price-sensitive industries, that’s true. But most companies can pass the cost onto their customers. 

Not All Causes of Joblessness Create Unemployment

If someone gives up looking for work, the BLS does not count them in the unemployment rate. If someone retires, goes back to school, or leaves the workforce to take care of children or other family members, that is not unemployment because they no longer look for work. Even if they would prefer a job, the BLS doesn’t count them as unemployed unless they looked in the past month.

People who have searched in the past year, but not the past month, are called marginally unemployed. The BLS considers this the U-5 and U-6 alternative measures of labor underutilization, known more broadly as the “real unemployment rate.”1112 Some people argue that the government undercounts unemployment by reporting the official rate, rather than the “real” rate.1314

Key Takeaways

  • For the BLS, unemployment is the state in which someone has no job and has been looking for work for the past month. Those who have stopped job searching are not counted as part of the unemployed labor force.3
  • Unemployment may be classified as either a frictional, structural, cyclical, or demand-deficit type.
  • The natural rate of unemployment is between 4% and 5%.2
  • Unemployment is a key economic indicator. High employment rates can be symptomatic of a distressed economy. Conversely, very low unemployment rates can signal an overheated one.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Who is counted as unemployed?

The BLS defines unemployed workers as those who are out of a job and currently available to work, and who have actively looked for work in the past four weeks. It also includes workers who are temporarily laid off but expecting to return to the workforce, whether they have been actively looking for a job or not.14

Who qualifies for unemployment benefits?

To qualify for unemployment benefits, a person must be unemployed “through no fault of their own,” have worked during a specific period, have met minimum state wage requirements, and be actively seeking work. These are the minimum federal requirements, but some states have additional requirements.”
