Gen. Mattis, please allow us to draft you for POTUS. I know that you don't want this job, but your country needs you. we need your leadership, integrity and wisdom. with good people around you, you can serve your country as POTUS in your pajamas from your bedroom. we have the technology. people work, do their banking, etc. from home every day. top secret security work is being done every day from remote locations. since you will have good people around you, we'd only bother you for those BIG decisions that only POTUS can make. you won't have to live and work in the swamp that is washington, dc. the rest of the time is yours--go hunting or fishing, travel, read a good book, eat jelly beans from a jar, etc. from anywhere you want. we know that you don't want to be POTUS, but, you have to admit that $400K/yr. for a part time job isn't bad. 🙂 

in addition to proven leadership, integrity and wisdom, he's spent his life serving (instead of dodging) his country--making a relatively modest salary in doing so. he isn't a megalomaniac, narcissist or misogynist--he respects others--including women. he seems to have all of the qualities that one would expect in POTUS. best of all, he's not a professional politician.

the wrong stuff

George Washington was a man of integrity who wanted above all else to be seen as a man motivated by the public good and not personal ambitions. His profound integrity in serving the public was the reason people entrusted him with power during the Revolutionary War and the first presidency.

He worked hard to make sure that political differences were addressed through dialogue, not hate and bitterness. On several occasions, he wrote letters to his Cabinet members to stop their in-fighting and quell their party spirit. Washington told Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, “How unfortunate, and how much is it to be regretted then . . . that internal dissensions should be harrowing and tearing our vitals.” The president wished Jefferson and others to have “more charity” for other opinions and a sense of their own fallibility. He dressed down Alexander Hamilton, telling the Secretary of the Treasury that “differences in political opinions” are expected but should not lead to so much discord.

   - biased news media?

to fix our dysfunctional government is simple and easy--stop voting for  republican and democratic party candidates, including incumbents. 

voting for a republican or a democrat is a vote for their party.

in the next election--national, state or local--don't vote republicans or democrats who have the wrong stuff. vote for someone who has the right stuff. even with their billion dollar donors, if voters don't vote for republicans and democrats, then the republican and democratic parties will shrivel up and die.

nothing will be better for our country.

the same goes for the news media--stop patronizing biased news media that lobby for the republican and democratic parties instead of reporting the news factually and truthfully. they'll go out of business. nothing will be better for the USA.

Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt cradles a young Iraqi girl as they both sleep in the hospital. The girl's entire family was executed by insurgents. The killers shot her in the head but she survived. The girl received treatment at the U.S. military hospital in Balad, but cries often. According to nurses at the facility, Chief Gebhardt is the only one who can calm down the girl, so he holds her at night while they both sleep in a chair. Chief Gebhardt was assigned to the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group at Balad Air Base, Iraq.
