Who would have thought that a powerhouse college football coach would be a tool of the Kremlin?
Now comes U.S. Senator, Tommy Tuberville, the head football coach for a decade at Auburn University, which along with the programs at Alabama, Florida, Georgia and a couple other schools has routinely turned out among the top college football programs in America.

He’s in the headlines now for his ongoing, single-handed blockage of hundreds of U.S. military promotions. Indeed, as we all know by now, Tuberville is blocking well-earned, normally nonpartisan promotions of officers across all branches of our military ostensibly in protest of the Department of Defense’s policy about abortion.

His is just another front in the Kremlin’s full-court press war on the Western Alliance that includes the terrorist Hamas outfit’s unprovoked war crimes against Israel, the trashing of Biden, Trump’s ongoing hate-fueled 2024 presidential campaign, all in the context of Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the first step in his mind of a military invasion of the NATO Alliance, overall.

Decisions that have the effect of tying the hands of countermeasures against Putin are usually justified by the idea that in America we have commendable protections of free speech and diverse political views. This means it is imprudent to ascribe sinister motives to contrary beliefs and actions even when it appears there may be no other way to interpret them.

But if our political leaders are not able to really call them as they see them, and the media is not that different when it comes to this (or, as in the case of Fox News and others, to take advantage of this situation to actively peddle a false narrative), then how can the American people know what to think or how to act?

No wonder President Biden’s poll numbers are so low! Thanks to these factors, most Americans don’t even know how to measure his effectiveness. They don’t know what to think except to buy into the pervasive narrative that he’s too old to seek reelection.

Sadly, too many of even well-intentioned leaders in politics and the media insist on playing in this way with one hand tied behind their backs, and it puts us all in harm’s way. Based on what is now transpiring, it is clear that Trump is now the frontrunner to be reelected in 2024, and that prospect is downright scary.

In addition to the normal stuff that goes along with political campaigns, we can expect that Moscow will use every tool in its arsenal, legal and otherwise, violent and otherwise, to get Trump reelected. They’ve had this entire interim period to upgrade their misinformation and dirty tricks resources to this end, including of the activation of moles and agents of influence. In fact, some D.C, pundits (like Fareed Zakaria of CNN) are saying that Putin is now settling for a military holding pattern in Ukraine awaiting Trump’s hoped-for reelection next year, that Putin is convinced that if elected Trump would immediately pull out all U.S. support for the war in Ukraine.

So, you see, Sen. Tuberville’s behavior fits right into this pattern. Who knows how many football team players his coaching induced into lifelong, eventually fatal brain damage (although professionals at Boston University’s Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Research Center are advancing finding ways to test for it among living persons). But Coach Tommy’s boorish behavior in the U.S. Senate may produce results that will result in far more young men getting their brains blown out on battlefields at the rate things are going.

If America and democracy fail to prevail in the coming few years, then the blame can be laid at the Tubervilles of the world and their horribly arrogant postures against everything that resonates true justice, compassion, growth and empathy, all “snowflake” attributes in the minds of older, whiter, straighter males and their pathetically mentally and morally enslaved women, children and servants.

It is a cruel system built on arrogance and fear that did not go away when the South lost the Civil War, but remained entrenched and angry, now finding a kinship with the worst tyrants on the planet and their genocidal action plans.
