"He's sort of a Democrat."

I knew it! President Trump said James Mattis "is sort of a Democrat," and "may be leaving." We on the right are supposed to be so proud to have Mattis as Secretary of Defense, but for a long time I have noticed he leans to the Left. Brett Samuels has more on this story at The Hill.

General Mattis: No better friend; no worse enemy!

Nothing can stop us. We don't take refuge in self pity!

What did General Mattis look for in finding leaders in the Marines? Initiative and aggressiveness, and the ability to bond with their troops.
Difficult? Don't tell him how difficult your life is. Not interested! Here is a video in which he answers questions from Marines.

General Mattis and troops march on Washington

WASHINGTON — In an unprecedented turn in American history, retired Marine Gen. James Mattis, several years after being dismissed by the President and exiled to his estate in the countryside, marched on the national capitol early Tuesday morning with an army over one hundred thousand strong.
This number includes at least ten infantry legions, several aviation and artillery legions, and multiple cavalry cohorts.
“I come in peace, by myself, in order to hand-deliver a Memorandum of Concern to the Commander in Chief and the Senate,” said Mattis in a press conference. “I am moving on foot at a leisurely pace, with no ill will. If these American citizens choose to take a stroll with me, then who am I to turn down their companionship?”

...Mattis was apparently done waiting, and crossed the Potomac on landing craft, escorted by an honor guard from MARSOC. After setting fire to the National Archives and sabotaging key infrastructure, the cabinet and most members of the Senate fled north toward New York and Boston in cars, vans and whatever other vehicles they could commandeer.
The President has not been seen since early yesterday morning, but sources inside the State Department confirm that he is on a scheduled goodwill trip to Egypt, which was kept from the press for safety reasons. His travel schedule has not been released to pool reporters.
