Executive Power by Vince Flynn

1 New York Times bestselling author of American Assassin—now a major motion picture

I have yet to find a Mitch Rapp story I wanted to put down!

Bestselling author Vince Flynn—“the best pure adrenaline-charged action writer out there today” (The Providence Journal)—puts Mitch Rapp in the crossfire as America’s enemies tighten their grip.

Returning from a covert mission, Mitch Rapp was publicly hailed by the president for his role in the fight against terrorism. After years of working in the shadows, Rapp was caught in the media spotlight—and marked for death by virtually every terrorist in the world. Now a CIA advisor, Rapp, is ready to battle terror far from the front lines. But when a Navy SEAL team in the Philippines is ambushed, all evidence points to a leak within the US State Department. And a greater threat lurks—a ruthless assassin working for the most powerful men in the Middle East, who are bent on igniting a world war. With the world watching, Rapp must hold back the flames of Armageddon…

My thoughts …

Mitch Rapp has now been promoted and given a desk job. However, he very unhappy in this new position. While he misses being in the field, his new bride worries about losing her new husband if he continues his former “wet work,” won’t have it any other way. However, when Mitch develops a plan to free the American hostages from the Muslim terrorists in the Philippines, he can’t resist the opportunity to take a lead role. Unfortunately, he pays a stiff price for his transgression.

Once the hostage rescue is over, Mitch moves on to tracking down an unusual and particularly shrewd lone-wolf Palestinian terrorist named David

David, a Palestinian, twists his way throughout the rest of this intriguing narrative. With the financial backing of a wealthy rogue Saudi prince playboy who sails around the world on his luxurious mega-yacht, David is scheming to force Israel to the peace table by staging terror acts that Israel will be blamed for. His plan seems to be working when Mossad’s hard-liner spy chief takes the bait on the first one. As part of his plan, David hopes to eliminate obstacles to real Middle East peace – by killing key players on both sides.

The Vince Flynn “Mitch Rapp” books continually get better. It’s tough to put one down once you’ve started. I am a big fan, and I highly recommend them for action/adventure junkies like me.

Should Democrats or Conservatives move to North Korea?

Live Longer in North Korea!
Live Longer in North Korea!

Isn’t it a wonderful life here in the U.S. of Obama?  According to the Washington Post 15 Baltimore, MD neighborhoods have a lower life expectancy rate than that of North Korea!  May I also point out that since 1967, Baltimore has had nothing but Democratic mayors.

On the national scene, police officers are being murdered weekly thanks to the “racial leadership” provided by Barack Obama, Eric Holder and Al Sharpton!  I understand Al Sharpton’s daughter is suing New York City for $5 million for a sprained ankle.  Must be one hell of a sprain!  Hey … maybe I can get $2.5 million for my jammed finger!

Here is an interesting idea!  With all the heat Jeb Bush has been taking for answering a question truthfully about whether or not he would have ordered U.S. Forces into Iraq like his brother George W. did ….. I would like to suggest a few other questions be asked as well.

For Barack Obama:

1) If you knew then what you know now about what would happen if we left Iraq too soon, would you still have pulled all American forces out of Iraq so irresponsibly and without an actual adult negotiating a status-of-forces agreement first?

Knowing full well that Obama will certainly point the finger at someone else (probably George W. Bush), the follow-up question should be:

2) When in your presidency do you actually start taking responsibility for the decisions and actions of your presidency?

Hillary Clinton, since she wants to be the “Working Peoples’ President (Gosh … that has such a Communist ring to it, doesn’t it?),’  could also be asked the first question.

Despite all this, we hear from John Kerry that we should simply be calm, we don’t have to worry!  All is well.  The world is safer than it has ever been!  Safer though it may be, according to Kerry it is still “possible to have the kind of attack we’ve seen in Ramadi.”  I feel so much better knowing that … don’t you?  I am sure the 4000+ American soldiers who gave their lives in Iraq would have been so happy to hear this.

And yes, we may have to kill many more members of Daesh (or ISIS or ISIL or Islamic Terrorists or whatever the hell the name of the week is).  But the question is who is going to kill them.  The area surrounding the Daesh forces at Ramadi is currently filled with Iranian militia.  Iran is predominantly Shia and Iraqi’s in the area are mostly Sunni.  That should work out well …  don’t you think? Especially with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Israel deciding to go it alone due to their extreme lack of faith in the current American leadership!

But hey … things are going so well in the Middle East … just relax!  Take a chill pill!  Move to Colorado and smoke a doobie!  Global Warming is a much more dangerous threat!  Oh Wait … according to NASA’s records we haven’t seen any global warming in 17 years …. oops!

Strangely, I remain unconvinced!  There are estimated to be between 0.7 billion (700,000,000) to 1.9 billion (1,900,000,000) Muslims in the world. This is 25% of the world’s population or 1 in 4. There are estimated to be around 9.9 million (9,900,000); about 3.75 % of the total US population.

According to ACT! for America’s president and founder Bridgett Gabriel, the radicals are estimated to be between 15 to 25 percent of the Muslim population… at least according to all intelligence services around the world,”  That means we are looking at 105 million to 475 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization.  However, Bridgett Gabriel is after all a favorite of conservatives who are concerned about terrorism. Therefore, we should not listen to her!  A much more conservative (no pun intended) estimate put forth is .01 percent of all Muslims being radicalized.  I feel much better now.  After all, that is only 7,000,000 to 19,000,000 people dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization!  We should all sleep much better at night knowing that!

Still waiting for all those moderate Muslims to stand up and shout … “Not in the name of our religion!!”

The silence is deafening!
