Fourteen years ago today, Austin Tice was abducted in Syria while doing his job as an American journalist.
Assad is gone. His prisons have been opened. But Austin is still not home.
President Trump has made clear that America does not forget its people.
We must bring Austin home.

47,735 Americans died from fentanyl in 2024.
Chinese companies supply the chemicals. Mexican cartels make the poison. Beijing can stop it. They choose not to. As an ER doctor who lost patients I could not revive, I call this what it is: chemical warfare. We will hold China accountable.
The identity of the U.S. Army soldier who lost his life in Iraq on July 18, 2026 has been revealed. Sergeant Michael Swinton was tragically KIA during a controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone.
His identity was shared by his wife, Mia Gonzalez-Swinton, following official family notifications by the military.
Please keep his family in your prayers during these difficult times.
Today, we honor two American heroes who gave their lives defending the United States and our allies. We pray for their families, for the safe return of the missing servicemember, and for the swift recovery of the wounded. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and we remain committed to securing the peace they fought to protect.
Tom Barrack, Trump’s Ambassador to Turkey with zero diplomatic experience, is busy congratulating Turkey for beating the United States in soccer.
This is the same man who helped sideline the Kurds, killed the plan to pressure Iran, pushed al-Sharaa (a former al-Qaeda leader with a $10 million bounty on his head) into power, and played a major role in this entire strategic disaster.
Brilliant work, Ambassador.
Our American flag has flown over battlefields, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, floods, wildfires, and some of the hardest days this country has ever faced.
Through all of it, one lesson remains true: America's greatest strength has never been a building, a government agency, or a piece of equipment.
It's people.
The neighbors who check on each other. The volunteers who show up. The first responders who run toward danger. The communities that rebuild after disaster strikes.
It is choosing to be someone others can rely on when things go wrong.
And despite our disagreements, challenges, and imperfections, there is still much to be proud of. A nation built on the belief that people should be free. A nation that has repeatedly risen to meet extraordinary challenges. A nation whose strength is found not in its institutions alone, but in the character of its people.
That is worth remembering today.
Happy Flag Day!
Out of 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII, only about 40,000 are still alive.
They’re dying at a rate of ~100 per day.
These are the heroes who saved the world from tyranny.
Find one. Thank one. Listen to their stories.
While you still can.
Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of our nation.
On Memorial Day, we remember their sacrifice, pray for their families, and express our deepest gratitude for those who laid down their lives for America.
May we never forget their courage and devotion to our country. 🇺🇸
bir buçuk saatlik bir yayın yapmış bu ikisi. İlk bir saat boyunca devletin nasıl çöktüğünü ekonomik olarak nasıl iflas ettiğini, iktidarın nasıl uyuşturucu karteline dönüştüğünü, Epstein'in dosyalarının nasıl devleti esir aldığını anlatıyorlar.
Sonlara doğru bir anda akıllarına "biz neden Kuzey Irak Kürt bölgesini saldırıp almıyoruz" fikri geliyor ve şuan tam zamanı diye ekliyorlar.
Ülkeleri adına hiç bir ümitleri kalmamış bu iki sığıntı bir anda Kürtlere saldırıp "biz de onlara çökelim" fikri ile bir anda tekrar gözleri parlıyor.
124 bin peygamber sadece bunlar için tekrar geri gelse bunlar yine iflah olmaz.
The very conservative Cato Institute shows that immigrants generate more income and taxes than the average US-born person. From 1994 to 2023 immigrants generated roughly $100,000 more in taxes per capita than the average US-born person (17% more over the period). Source: https://t.co/nAhmsgZzAR
We’re seeing reports that one crew member has been recovered, while efforts are still underway to locate the second after a U.S. F-15 went down over southern Iran.
We��ve seen this before.
In 2011, when a U.S. pilot went down in Libya during Operation Odyssey Dawn, ordinary Libyans stepped in. Good people risked everything to protect him from militias and get him to safety. No politics, no agenda just doing the right thing.
That’s the reminder today even in the worst circumstances there are still good people.
If that pilot is on the ground in Iran, let’s hope their first contact was with ordinary Iranians, people who’ve lived under this terrorist regime and largely reject it. They’ll make the right choice.
Praying for that and always for our troops and the people of Iran.
🚨 BREAKING: One US fighter crew pilot was rescued ALIVE by US SPECIAL FORCES in Iranian territory — Axios
Israel is actively helping the US in search and rescue.
While 1 member was rescued, the other pilot is still out there
Pray for safe return! 🙏🏻
Turkey is a NATO member and claims alignment with Western legal norms and values, yet deporting Pastor Mojtaba Ahmadi back to Iran to face further torture and likely execution would directly violate the principle of non-refoulement under international law. You do not send someone back to a regime you know will persecute them for their faith, FULL STOP.
On Palm Sunday of all days, when Christians around the world remember both persecution and sacrifice, some experienced it today themselves directly in Syria and Nigeria. If Turkey allows this deportation, it is not just a bureaucratic failure, it is a deliberate choice to enable religious persecution. NATO allies cannot preach human rights while turning a blind eye when one of their own facilitates torture and death.
When my unit jumped into Northern Iraq in 2003 during the invasion of Iraq, we linked up with the Kurdish Peshmerga, who fought alongside American forces all the way south to Kirkuk.
The Kurds are a proud people and a warrior culture. If Kurdish fighters become involved in any conflict with Iran, they will fight hard.
