Worth noting that Zelenskyy was flown to Pennsylvania on an U.S. Air Force C-17. The Biden-Harris admin is using military assets to fly a foreign leader into a battleground state in order to undermine their political opponents.

Zelensky is now touring ammunition factories in Pennsylvania and attacking President Trump and JD Vance in American media outlets. A foreign leader is essentially campaigning for Harris on American soil.

Only in Congress would @RandPaul’s demands that the U.S. provide a modicum of oversight for the billions of dollars worth of weapons we are shipping to a country with a history of corruption and illegal arm sales be considered “unreasonable”.

Schumer says Rand Paul is the lone senator opposed to passing Ukraine aid today He says Paul's demands to change the bill entirely, which would require kicking it back to the House, are unreasonable

Spartz is an American, elected by Americans, to represent Americans in Congress. The idea that she should maintain loyalty to her former country as an U.S. elected official - advanced below by a staffer of a conservative institution - is absurd and fundamentally anti-American.

Ukrainian SSR-born Rep. Victoria Spartz voted NO on Ukraine aid today. Last week, her hometown Chernihiv was bombarded by Russia, killing over a dozen civilians.

This is from a video game called Arma 3. Yet another example of how retired generals and admirals aren’t always the best military commentators.

I don’t know man, but it might be a good thing that defense lobbyists representing companies that fleece the taxpayers of billions of dollars don’t know “who the fuck” @PeteHegseth is. If anything this is his greatest endorsement so far:

We do not have this equipment readily available because we have shipped large quantities of transformers and other electrical equipment to Ukraine. Both our military and non-military support for Ukraine has left us less prepared for domestic disasters like Hurricane Helene:

This is devastating. We do NOT have 360 substations worth of transformers and other electrical equipment sitting in stockpiles waiting to be deployed. It could take a very long time to restore power to everyone. Are we facing a Hurricane Maria-type impact on grid infrastructure?

I am eternally grateful to @TuckerCarlson for bringing me on his show to talk about what happened to Colin Carroll, Darin Selnick, and I at the Pentagon.

Dan Caldwell was one of the strongest voices at the Pentagon opposing war with Iran. Then he was falsely accused of leaking classified documents and fired. (0:00) Introduction (1:10) What Would Happen if the US Went to War With Iran? (9:13) The Real Reason the US Invaded Iraq

Within my network of Marines I served with, most of them were always going to vote for Trump but some were skeptical of Trump or disillusioned with politics. Of the latter group, the Cheney endorsement of Harris have pushed almost all of them to vote for Trump. Hard to

.@DavidSacks is on 🎯 here. Additionally, for those of us who like JD enlisted after 9/11 to fight, having someone from our generation of veterans chosen for this position is incredibly meaningfully. Semper Fi @JDVance1.

When the Twin Towers came down, JD Vance enlisted in the Marine Corps, gung-ho to exact justice on America’s enemies. Subsequently he came to believe the Forever Wars were a mistake. This is who I want by Trump’s side: an American patriot, with the courage to fight America’s wars

This is by design. They will claim they are a deterrent but not really. What TSA has morphed into is another federal jobs program and political money laundering operation - they have nearly 50k unionized employees (same size as Coast Guard) that pay dues to glorified Dem PACs.

Yet another major war in the Middle East where America sends another generation of its sons and daughters to die in support of objectives that are not tied to our safety or economic prosperity is the last thing we need right now.

To put this in context, Ukraine is firing between 90,000 to 210,000 shells a month across a 600 mi front. Gaza is only 25 miles long and 7 miles wide.

The IDF says it has fired over 100,000 artillery shells at targets in Gaza since the start of the ground operation.

Following these strikes - which at first glance appear symbolic and highly telegraphed - there is an ideal endgame emerging to the current conflict: Israel ramps down their airstrikes over next few days (as Netanyahu has implied they plan to do), Iran stops their missile
