DAYS THREE AND FOUR

 And G-d said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And G-d called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and G-d saw that it was good. And G-d said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And G-d said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And G-d made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.  And G-d set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Day Three: 

And the President ordered law enforcement to enter schools and seize little children as part of illegal immigration enforcement. And the President saw that it was good that school age children were to be arrested in school and taken away from their friends and teachers and the life they knew. And the President ordered US Attorneys to order the arrest and prosecution of officials who did not comply with the President's orders arresting children in school and enforcing immigration laws. And few people spoke out on behalf of the children and the poor and weak and oppressed, and the President clapped his hands together in glee and saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. 

And on the Fourth day the President ordered the military to the Southern Border to enforce immigration laws. And the order violated The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibiting the use of the military to enforce domestic law. And the President saw that it was good. 

And the President ordered the Pentagon to remove the portrait of former Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff Mark Milley who had refused the President's orders to use the military to attack domestic protestors in the prior Trump administration. And the President fired Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Linda L Fagan for "excessive focus on diversity, equity and inclusion". Admiral Fagan served at sea for the Coast Guard since 1985. And the President, who never served in the military during the Vietnam war because of a blister on his foot saw that it was good. 

And the Senators advanced the nomination of Fox News personality Pete Hegseth tp be secretary of defense despite credible evidence that he beat his wife and is an alcoholic. Such evidence included a sworn affidavit from his sister-in-law that she and Hegseth's wife had a safe word for when she was in danger. 

And Pete Hegseth called for firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief Of Naval Operations, for being "inexperienced". Admiral Franchetti has previously commanded an aircraft carrier group while serving in the Navy for 40 years. But she has not engaged in drunken domestic violence. And Hegseth also called for General Milley's replacement- General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., to be fired. General Brown is a four-star fighter pilot with 130 hours of combat flying during 40 years of service. But General Brown has never been accused of drinking to excess and beating his wife. 

And the President looked out upon the land and muttered MAGA and saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 

Former Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff under Presidents George W Bush and Barak Obama- Admiral Mike Mullen- said this in an interview about what Trump and Hegseth have done and want to do: "If you want to figure out a way to decimate the military, start by wiping out its leadership." 

To be fair, nothing in MAGA mentions the military. Watch how bad this gets, and then after a wave of firing and resignations from men and women who respect the oath they have taken and will refuse to violate it, a humiliating defeat and tragedy because slogans do not replace competent and experienced leadership.
