Watch Neocon George Bush Condemn “The Decision of One Man to Launch a Wholly Unjustified and Brutal Invasion of Iraq” in Massive Gaffe

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former US President George W. Bush mistakenly denounced the “brutal, unjustified invasion of Iraq” at an event on Wednesday as he was offering a critique of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

The slip-up occurred during an event on election integrity at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas and was first reported by the Dallas Morning News.

“In contrast, Russian elections are rigged. Political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the political process,” Bush told the crowd. “The result is the absence of checks and balances in Russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq.”

“I mean of Ukraine,” he said, pausing, then laughing. “Anyways, I’m 75,” Bush added after the gaffe while the audience laughed. . .

Back in 2003, Bush announced an invasion of Iraq called “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” In a televised address on March 19, 2003, Bush said the operation was meant to help the Iraqis “achieve a united, stable and free country.” (Read more from “Watch Neocon George Bush Condemn “The Decision of One Man to Launch a Wholly Unjustified and Brutal Invasion of Iraq” in Massive Gaffe” HERE)

George W. Bush Maxes Out Political Donations to Trump Impeachment Supporters Liz Cheney and Lisa Murkowski

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President George W. Bush gave the maximum allowed political contributions to Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, two Republicans who supported impeaching former President Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol riot.

New disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission said Bush gave Cheney $5,800 on October 28 for both the general and primary elections. On December 31, he also gave Murkowski $2,900 for her primary. The FEC sets limits on political contributions.

Cheney, the daughter of Bush’s own vice president, Dick Cheney, and an outspoken Trump critic, now serves as the lead Republican on the House Select Committee investigating January 6. She’s set to face off against Harriet Hageman, a former RNC official who has been endorsed by Trump, in an August primary. Cheney has outraised Hageman by more than four to one — $2 million for Cheney versus $440,00 for Hageman — FEC disclosures showed. . .

Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over inciting an insurrection on January 6, while Murkowski was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict him.

FEC records indicated that Bush didn’t make any other political contributions in 2021 before October. (Read more from “George W. Bush Maxes Out Political Donations to Trump Impeachment Supporters Liz Cheney and Lisa Murkowski” HERE)

George and Barbara Bush Are Celebrating a Milestone Today No Other Presidential Couple Has Ever Reached

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara Pierce Bush, have made history. The couple celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on Saturday — the latest milestone in what is already the longest marriage in presidential history.

As noted by WTTG, the couple met when George was just 16. At the time, Barbara was on holiday from her boarding school. They dated long distance for several years, then became engaged before George served as a naval pilot during World War II.

After he returned home, the couple got married and eventually moved to Texas with their oldest son, who was named after his father.

George H.W. Bush led a highly successful political career that included two terms in the House of Representatives, in addition to stints as U.N. ambassador, chairman of the Republican National Committee, chief of the U. S. Liaison Office in the People’s Republic of China and director of the CIA.

In 1980, he ran for the GOP presidential nomination, and though he lost to then-candidate Ronald Reagan, he would go on to serve two terms as vice president in the Reagan administration.

In 1988, Bush was elected president, and served in the Oval Office for one term, until he was defeated by Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential election.

Bush, 93, and his wife, 92, have five children — former President George W. Bush; former Florida Governor John Ellis “Jeb” Bush; fellow sons Marvin and Neil; and daughter Doro.

Another daughter, Robin, died in 1953 of leukemia.

The Bushes also have 17 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

As The Western Journal reported, it’s not the first time in recent months that George H.W. Bush has made history.

On Nov. 25, 2017, he became the longest-living president in U.S. history, reaching the age of 93 years and 166 days.

He surpassed the previous record held by former President Gerald Ford, who died in December 2006 when he was 93 years and 165 days old.

Bush was born on June 12, 1924.

The former president has led an active life well into his 90s. He went skydiving to celebrate his 90th birthday in 2014.

He celebrated his 93rd birthday by boating with his family.

However, a slew of health complications last year slowed the former president down.

Bush was hospitalized several times in 2017 for chronic pneumonia. (For more from the author of “George and Barbara Bush Are Celebrating a Milestone Today No Other Presidential Couple Has Ever Reached” please click HERE)

Steve Bannon Delivers Blistering Attack on Former President George W. Bush

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Steve Bannon delivered a withering attack on George W. Bush Friday night, bluntly questioning the former President’s intelligence and his grasp of the concepts that he outlined in a speech that he gave New York this week.

“There has not been a more destructive presidency than George Bush’s,” Bannon said during his dinnertime address at the convention banquet of the California Republican Party. He said Bush had “embarrassed himself” with a “high falutin” speech.

“It was clear he didn’t understand anything he was talking about,” Bannon said.

“He has no earthly idea of whether he’s coming or going,” Bannon said, implying that Bush had mindlessly given a speech written for him by a speechwriter, “just like it was when he was President of the United States.” (Read more from “Steve Bannon Delivers Blistering Attack on Former President George W.

Bush’s Commerce Secretary Endorses Clinton

/0 Comments/in , /by

Carlos Gutierrez, President George W. Bush’s former Secretary of Commerce, said Sunday that Hillary Clinton would make a “darn good president,” and he’ll be voting for her this fall.

“I actually think Hillary Clinton has the experience, she’s been around, she knows how the system works,” Gutierrez told CNN “State of the Union” anchor Jake Tapper.

“I would have preferred Jeb Bush, but I think Hillary is a great choice. I am afraid of what Donald Trump would do to this country.”

He said his breaking point came when Trump expressed doubts earlier this summer that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing a lawsuit against Trump University, could preside fairly over the case because of his Mexican heritage. Trump’s comments came just weeks after he secured the GOP nomination.

“I have been a Republican,” Gutierrez told Tapper. “My inclination was to vote for a Republican. I was a Jeb Bush person. I made the switch away from Trump, it was that week of the judge … that for me did it. That’s it. I don’t want to go back to a country where, if a child has a Spanish last name, that the president, the leader of the country, is giving kids a license to bully them.” (Read more from “Bush’s Commerce Secretary Endorses Clinton” HERE)

Bush Gives Heartfelt Speech at Service for Dallas Officers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President and native Texan George W. Bush gave a somber speech Tuesday at an interfaith ceremony honoring the five Dallas officers murdered last week.

Discussing the recent discord the country is facing, Bush started off by acknowledging how hopeless things can seem, especially in the face of such a horrible tragedy.

“At times, it seems like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together,” he said. “Argument turns too easily into animosity. Disagreement escalates too quickly into dehumanization.”

However, his speech wasn’t all grim. The former president used the reminder of his time to remind the audience on what it is that truly unites us — American values.

“We have never been held together by blood or background,” he said. “We are bound by things of the spirit, by shared commitments to common ideals. At our best, we practice empathy, imagining ourselves in the lives and circumstances of others.”

His speech was a message of respect and honor for those who wear a badge, and a reminder of the things that make this country great.

“Your loved ones’ time with you was too short. They did not get a chance to properly say goodbye, but they went where duty called,” Bush said. “They defended us, even to the end.”

President Obama’s tone, however, was a bit different. He used his time to discuss race relations, lecturing the attendees, admitting that bias still remains. But he assured Americans that we are “not as divided as we may seem.” (For more from the author of “Bush Gives Heartfelt Speech at Service for Dallas Officers” please click HERE)

George W. Bush Re-Enters Political Arena to Help Old Friend in Tough Fight

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a year where outsider candidates are on the rise, members of the Washington establishment are facing new struggles to maintain their position of power.

Even longtime politicians have found themselves vulnerable and are facing significant challenges from up-and-coming new leaders.

One such example is Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has served for nearly three decades and is currently in a pitched battle against Dr. Kelly Ward for his seate.

As it currently stands, the polls are split, with Gravis Marketing showing a landslide victory for Ward by a 9-point spread and PPP showing the opposite, a 13-point spread in favor of McCain.

Former President George W. Bush has decided to put down the paint brush and re-enter the political arena to support some of his old allies.

So far, Bush has headlined fundraisers for two Republican senators with plans to assist three others in the near future, and McCain has made the list.

According to new reports, Bush will begin fundraising for McCain in an attempt to run damage control for the beleaguered Arizona senator — caused in part by the Trump insurgency.

Bush and McCain will both be skipping this summer’s GOP convention, possibly as a protest of Trump’s presumptive nomination, and instead focus on winning congressional battles.

Whether a Bush endorsement will manage to secure McCain his re-election — or even prove helpful for the incumbent — has yet to be seen.

There also exists the possibility that a Bush endorsement could further fracture the party and amplify resentment among those who desire change in Washington.

Commenting on the infighting between members of the GOP, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan encouraged Republicans to vote their conscience.

“I get that this is a very strange situation. He’s a very unique nominee,” said Ryan of Trump in a yet-to-be-aired interview with NBC. “But I feel as a responsibility institutionally as the speaker of the House that I should not be leading some chasm in the middle of our party. Because you know what I know that’ll do? That’ll definitely knock us out of the White House.” (For more from the author of “George W.

The Era of Bush and Romney Comes to a Close

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Bush clan previously announced they will not engage in the 2016 presidential race, and the Romney clan have now joined them.

Via ABC –

The Republican National Convention in July is going to be missing some of the party’s most recognizable faces. All of the living former Republican nominees for president said they are skipping the Cleveland convention with the exception of Bob Dole, the 1996 GOP nominee.

An aide to Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, confirmed to ABC News that he “has no plans to attend the convention.”

Romney has been one of Trump’s most scathing critics. In March, he gave a speech urging the party to reject the real estate mogul, calling him “a phony, a fraud.” The news that he is not attending this year’s convention was first reported by The Washington Post.

On Wednesday, the last two Republican presidents, George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, also said they had no plans to back Donald Trump, the party’s presumptive nominee.

One Photo of George W. Bush Emerged From Nancy Reagan’s Funeral That Has Everyone Talking

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s often said that a picture speaks a thousand words, but one photo that emerged from former First Lady Nancy Reagan’s funeral seems to be saying a lot of different things to different people, stirring passions on both sides of the political aisle . . .

The photo was posted to Twitter by CNN political director David Chalian and was accompanied by the caption “This may be the best photo from Mrs. Reagan’s funeral.”

Many people immediately reacted to the photo by saying it was nice to see famous American politicians with opposing ideologies such as a Bush and Clinton letting their guard down in a time of mourning and celebration of the life of Mrs. Reagan.

And many liberals, including some Bernie Sanders fans, were also upset. To them, the photo proved that Hillary was exactly the same as the president many of them despised.

George W. Bush Unleashes on Ted Cruz

/22 Comments/in , /by

By Eli Stokols. Inside a sleek Denver condominium, George W. Bush let a hundred donors to his brother’s campaign in on a secret. Of all the rival Republican candidates, there is one who gets under the former president’s skin, whom he views as perhaps Jeb Bush’s most serious rival for the party’s nomination.

It isn’t Donald Trump, whose withering insults have sought to make Jeb pay a political price for his brother’s presidency. It isn’t Marco Rubio, Jeb’s former understudy who now poses a serious threat to his establishment support.

“I just don’t like the guy,” Bush said Sunday night, according to conversations with more than half a dozen donors who attended the event.

One donor in the room said . . . “I was like, ‘Holy sh-t, did he just say that?’ . . . I remember looking around and seeing that other people were also looking around surprised” . . .

Bush took a harsh view of Cruz’s apparent alliance with Trump, who stood with the senator at a Capitol Hill rally last month in opposition to the Iran deal. While Trump, the current GOP poll leaders, has attacked most of his competitors in the 2016 field, he has avoided criticizing Cruz. (Read more from “George W. Bush Unleashes on Ted Cruz” HERE)

George W. Bush Reportedly Rips Ted Cruz to Jeb Bush Donors

By Fox News. Former President George W. Bush reportedly ripped into Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at a weekend gathering of donors to his brother’s presidential campaign, according to a published report Monday.

Politico reported that Bush said of Cruz, “I just don’t like the guy,” at the event, which was held Sunday night in Denver.

According to the report, which cited at least six donors who were at the event, Bush said he did not like Cruz’s de facto alliance with Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who has notably spared Cruz from the criticism he has ladled onto other members of the 15-candidate Republican field.

“He said he found it ‘opportunistic’ that Cruz was sucking up to Trump and just expecting all of his support to come to him in the end,” one donor told Politico when asked to describe Bush’s remarks about Cruz. The report added that the former president had been engaging with amiable discussions about the state of the GOP race when Cruz’s name came up . . .

The report also said that Bush warned the donors to not underestimate Cruz’s strength in the South and in Texas, where his message of religious liberty is expected to play very well with voters. (Read more from “George W. Bush Reportedly Rips Ted Cruz to Jeb Bush Donors” HERE)
