@RepPatHarrigan @DailyCaller Shoutout to my colleague @FrancisKapper for reporting on this battle dividing the GOP right now!

The U.S. military should own all the data it needs to work on the equipment that it purchased WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

If taxpayers paid for it and our warfighters depend on it, why are contractors the only ones allowed to fix it?

Glad to see the @DailyCaller highlight my bipartisan Right to Repair amendment, which would help end contractor lock-in, reduce unnecessary costs, and get critical equipment back into the fight faster.

“Section 224 is the worst amendment I’ve seen in an NDAA in years, perhaps ever.”

We genuinely don’t even have the industrial capacity for this according to multiple analysts that I spoke with.

For example, it will take more than four years to replenish our THAAD missiles regardless of how much money we throw at them.

This war needs to end soon because the Middle East is responsible for not only oil, but also fertilizer.

The world needs the Middle East if it wants to eat, especially Asia and Africa.

Cease-fire? What cease-fire?

All I can see is Hezbollah bombing Israel, Israel bombing Lebanon, Iran bombing Kuwait and the United States bombing Iran.

I guess American politicians do not care about the national debt.

This proposed legislation has bipartisan support, by the way.

Nearly $2 billion for foreign nations and foreign companies is called for in the new 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Is this America First policy?

Taiwan Scrambles Fighter Jets As China Encroaches With Combat Patrols: 'Joint combat readiness patrol' https://t.co/DT0Jww1Dfb

Pure Speculation:

This could easily just be Trump moving troops from Germany to Poland in a shuffling act to make it look like things are happening.

Sometimes the best part of my job is surfing through @GettyImages to find epic pictures of armored vehicles for my articles.

Eye candy is always a great way to garner interest for important topics, like this story on Poland!

"Right now we’re doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury," Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao said during a Senate subcommittee hearing.

As we burn through more key munitions in the Middle East, we cannibalize our position in Asia.

Why should Americans care? Because we actually conduct a significant amount of trade with Taiwan, unlike the nation that these munitions are going to.

“Israel is not capable of fighting and winning wars on its own, but nobody actually knows this, because they never see the back end,” the Post reported, citing a U.S. government official.

The U.S. used more interceptor munitions defending our 'greatest ally' than it used defending itself.

It could have leaned harder on its own supply, but it didn't because it knows that we will always bend over backwards for them.

The United States committed more than $66.1 billion in defense articles and services to Ukraine from February 2022 through December 2025.

Europe can have fun paying the bill now.

The U.S. government is required by law to provide the means for Taiwan to defend itself, according to the Taiwan Relations Act, passed in 1979.

“The United States will make available to Taiwan such defense articles..."

As the U.S. burns through all of its treasure in the Middle East, it isolates one of its real allies, Taiwan.

Taiwan is the primary producer of semiconductor chips that feed the U.S. economy.

So we would rather fund former al-Qaeda terrorists than allow oil to flow from the Strait of Hormuz?

Supposedly, “The United States Military met or exceeded all of its objectives." According to White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly.

How are those gas prices doing?

He openly called for “a world without America."

Why would Israel want this man in power?
