59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
Winston-Salem police officer flips his SUV while perusing 2 felons who had just robbed a store on Saturday morning. The Winston-Salem Police Department is still understaffed by 20-25% of its full compliment. This is what you get from 25 years of Democrat leadership.
At approximately 12PM ET today, I’ll be speaking on the House floor to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the USS Liberty.
Many survivors of the attack will be here watching my speech live from the House gallery. You can watch live as well: https://t.co/ja2Mm9Qqs1
@BoldLiberty@AmberWoods100 To contact your representatives and protest government policies (such as Section 224 of the NDAA), you can call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to connect with your senators and representative. We all need to blow up the phone lines at 2:24pm and demand reversal
Am I understanding this correctly?
In the same week the Pentagon is reportedly classifying Israel as a potential threat in its planning, Congress votes to deepen military cooperation with Israel.
Make it make sense.
Sooooo....The Pentagon just declared Israel an enemy to the US the same week Congress voted to merge our military with theirs.
Am I getting that right?
Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right again about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the United States military with the IDF.
Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the United States to compromise its own security for Benjamin Netanyahu's demands.
"The difference between a conspiracy theory in Washington has been reduced from six months to six days."
Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.
There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to. 🧵
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
