Hunter Lea has uncovered audio from one of the shows we performed in Vietnam and put together this wonderful video.
The Vietnam War was such a tragedy. So many lives were lost, and so many families were forever changed. If you were in Vietnam and made it home, WELCOME HOME! You deserved that greeting then, and you deserve it today.
To all the brave men and women who have served our great nation, your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication deserve our deepest gratitude. Because of your service, we continue to enjoy the freedoms we hold dear. “Thank you” hardly seems enough to express our gratitude for all you endured and sacrificed. We honor you, we appreciate you, and we will never forget the sacrifices you and your families have made. 🇺🇸
🚨BREAKING: Senator Josh Hawley says “innocent people don’t plead the Fifth” when describing Dr. Fauci’s testimony.
Here’s the video of Donald Trump pleading the Fifth 400 times during his civil fraud trial.
NEWS: Trump’s Pentagon has lost track of $31 billion in F-35 parts and the government’s own watchdog says they’ve barely lifted a finger to fix it despite multiple warnings. This administration is too stupid to count its own fighter jet parts and too corrupt to care, as long as the defense contractors keep cashing checks while your Medicaid and food assistance get cut.
How fitting. The guy who covered up sex abuse at Ohio State & wanted to overthrow an election is now the Republican Leader in the House of Representatives.
It’s who they are. And it’s why they lost.
MAHA: Measles is once again endemic in the United States, 26 years after it was declared eliminated in the country.
Cases have surged over the past two years, with nearly 5,200 reported so far this year. Last week, Pennsylvania, New York and Wisconsin each reported a measles death, bringing this year’s total to eight, more than in the entire period from 2000 to 2024.

It’s time to start talking.
Remember when Pete Hegseth dangerously called hundreds of generals and admirals together under one roof and then did nothing but proceed to give them all a live streamed lecture about “no more woke fatties”?
NEW: Trump was told aboard AF1 en route to China but before he picked up Jensen Huang about the US intelligence about the Nvidia chief and a woman assessed to be a Chinese spy @jonathanvswan@julianbarnes@AnaSwanson me https://t.co/IrHYNTRhZS
Hey failed gubernatorial candidate, are you under the impression that Hegseth is facing impeachment on a single charge involving Iran? Have you even read the eight articles of impeachment introduced by your Republican colleague, Thomas Massie?
The war against Iran was launched without a declaration of war or specific congressional authorization. Congress has constitutional authority over declarations of war, yet you’ve apparently decided that defending those powers is optional. You’ve abdicated your responsibility to uphold the oath you took.
But the charges go considerably further.
Hegseth is accused of continuing the Iran war despite congressional demands for withdrawal and after the War Powers Resolution’s statutory deadlines expired.
He’s accused of dismantling civilian casualty protections, contributing to the bombing of an Iranian elementary school that killed scores of children.
He’s accused of conducting extrajudicial killings of suspected drug traffickers aboard boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, including a second strike that killed two survivors clinging to wreckage. Deliberately killing shipwrecked survivors in an armed conflict is a war crime.
He’s accused of abusing his authority by retaliating against Senator Mark Kelly for reminding military personnel that they have a duty to refuse unlawful orders.
He’s accused of conducting an unauthorized military operation in Venezuela to capture Nicolás Maduro, violating Congress’s war powers.
And he’s accused of conducting unauthorized military strikes in Yemen, resulting in civilian casualties.
Now, let’s address your claim that Hegseth has made our fighting force the very best it can be.
Our supposedly short war with Iran is now in its ninth calendar month. Remember when the convicted felon was telling Americans we would be finished in another two weeks?
The Pentagon has reported 23 American service members dead and another 865 wounded. We’ve expended enormous quantities of precision weapons and missile interceptors, creating strategic inventory shortages that could take years to replenish. Congressional estimates indicate we’ve already consumed between half and two-thirds of certain missile interceptor inventories. That affects our ability to respond to threats elsewhere in the world.
American military facilities in the Middle East have been damaged or destroyed, and bases have been evacuated because of their vulnerability to Iranian attacks. Just this week, we relocated American military aircraft from bases in Britain amid reported Iranian threats. Eight months into this conflict, we’re still moving aircraft to protect them from retaliation.
Meanwhile, sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have endured food shortages, deteriorating living conditions, broken plumbing, and serious morale problems during an extended deployment. Apparently, providing our sailors with adequate food and functioning showers isn’t a priority in Hegseth’s version of military excellence.
And you call this making our fighting force the very best it can be? Military readiness isn’t measured by how aggressively the Secretary of Defense talks about lethality. It’s measured by operational effectiveness, strategic planning, logistics, sustainability, personnel welfare, and the ability to fight the next conflict without having exhausted the resources needed to win it.
These are serious questions about military leadership, readiness, and constitutional accountability. Nobody is suggesting the convicted felon should escape responsibility for starting this war, but accountability doesn’t stop at the Oval Office.
You weren’t elected to be a cheerleader for the administration. You were elected to represent your constituents and uphold the Constitution.
Maybe you should read the impeachment resolution before announcing that you’ve already made up your mind. And maybe you should take a harder look at what eight months of Hegseth’s leadership have actually produced.
@yashar It is a beautiful letter. How sad though that we all know without a doubt that Trump did not write it or dictate it. All he did was sign a staffers letter.
