President Donald J. Trump has posted to Truth Social following tonight's vote in the House that blocked a vote on Representative Thomas Massie's (R-KY) articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, calling it an "EXONERATION of a Great American Patriot."

[Deputy Press Sec Joel Valdez @JoelValdezDOW]

The Department of War under @SecWar Pete Hegseth has been delivering a stronger military and a safer America. A disgruntled, loser politician is joining with opposition to try and impeach him for political points.

Here's a MASSIVE LIST of DOW SUCCESS under Secretary @PeteHegseth:

STRONGEST MILITARY IN GENERATIONS:

• ALL five military branches met or exceeded annual recruiting goals in FY2026, reaching a 15-year recruiting high.

• The Army met both Reserve recruiting goals for the first time in a decade.

• Army: 62,050 against a 61,000 goal.

• Navy: 45,112 against a 45,000 goal.

• Air Force: 31,950 against a 31,950 goal.

• Space Force: 730 against a 730 goal.

• Marines Corps: 31,250 new Marines recruited. A 714-Marine increase over FY25. Recruiters have already contracted more than half of FY27’s mission.

• Reinstated NEARLY 700 service members who were forced out or separated under Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

ELIMINATING TERRORISTS, CRUSHING CARTELS AND PROTECTING AMERICANS:

• Eliminated top ISIS global leader Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, alongside 175 ISIS fighters in joint U.S. - Nigeria strikes.

• Operation Rough Rider hit Houthi targets after years of Red Sea attacks on shipping.

• Operation Midnight Hammer used B-2s against Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025.

• Operation Absolute Resolve captured Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro.

• Operation Epic Fury ELIMINATED Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon.

• U.S. forces destroyed Iran’s navy, wrecked its air defenses, killed senior leadership including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and reset the nuclear timeline.

• Operation Southern Spear interdicted 76 narco-vessels, eliminated 218 narco-terrorists, and reduced maritime drug smuggling by up to 65%.

• Delivered a precision strike eliminating Tren de Aragua leader Niño Guerrero.

• Helped lead the America's Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) with 19 countries joining the United States' efforts.

PUTTING OUR WARFIGHTERS FIRST:

• Delivered the first increase in hostile fire and imminent danger pay in more than 20 years, raising troop hazard pay monthly payments to $450 and $275, respectively.

• Secured major investments in America's military strength, including a $22.9 billion Tomahawk missile award and a 10-year agreement for 850 F-35 aircraft.

• Through @POTUS and @Republicans One Big Beautiful Bill, the @DeptofWar successfully obligated defense modernization funding - investing in increased troop pay, housing, healthcare, childcare, advanced weapons, cutting-edge technology, military training, and modern equipment to ensure our warfighters have everything they need to win.

RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY AND REBUILDING OUR MILITARY:

• Cut unnecessary senior officer positions by 20% and strengthened combat performance standards for promotions.

• Launched major reforms to modernize America's military, strengthen military bases, expand our pipeline of future military leaders, and accelerate next-generation autonomous warfare capabilities.

STAND. FIGHT. DEFEND THE REPUBLIC!

@WatcherGuru I have worked in Web Development for >15 years with ~3 of them as a CISO. For all the uninformed, the Ledger CEO is stating a basic fact. Airtight security simply does not exist. There is always an attack vector no matter how obscure.

**Is President Trump Lulling Everyone Into a False Sense of Security Again?**

Yesterday, the two most senior figures in the U.S. intelligence community were spotted on Capitol Hill: CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. The two arrived at Congress to brief a select group of senior senators and representatives known as the "Gang of Eight."

This group has a formally established legal status and consists of senior leaders from both parties: the Speaker of the House and the House Minority Leader; the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders; and the chairs and ranking members of the intelligence committees in both chambers.

The Gang of Eight meets relatively infrequently, when the administration is legally required to brief Congress on national security matters, but the information is so sensitive that it cannot be shared with all members of Congress, or even with the full intelligence committees.

Yesterday's briefing focused on Iran, although it also touched on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's romantic relationship with a woman who turned out to be a Chinese spy. The previous time the Gang of Eight was briefed on Iran was February 24, just four days before Operation Roaring Lion/Epic Fury began.

So why are President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio sending reassuring messages? It is possible that Trump has indeed decided to abandon, at least for now, plans to resume hostilities. But it seems equally plausible that the president is simply trying to lull the Iranians into a false sense of security, exactly as he did with strikingly similar messages before the previous attack.

Also, keep an eye on oil prices, which are plunging today to just $91 a barrel, their lowest level in two and a half months. It appears that the American president is keeping both the Iranians and the markets guessing, while more and more military assets continue to pour into the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility.

A rock was thrown through the window of a kosher restaurant in Montreal.

It happened on the anniversary of Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) when Nazis attacked Jewish businesses, smashed windows, burned synagogues, and terrorized Jewish communities in 1938.

This attack follows two arson attacks against a kosher bakery last week and the apparent arson that destroyed another kosher restaurant in August.

Politician: I hate your culture, your civilization, your religion, your society, your people. I hate your music. I hate your dogs. I hate your literature. I hate your personal freedoms and liberties. I hate everything about you. Everything.

Electorate: Sure but do you hate Trump?

Politician: Yes.

Electorate: Well then, I see no reason not to vote for you. You've earned my vote.

[Raylan Givens @JewishWarrior13]

🚨 U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee recalls explaining to Trump during the 2016 campaign why Israel matters so deeply to evangelical Christians—and why their support is essential to winning the Republican nomination. Speaking with @beholdisrael , Huckabee recounts telling Trump: “Israel is not a political issue. It is a biblical issue. It is a moral issue.”

A reminder JD Vance would do well to hear.

@zerohedge Amazing how such a tiny speck of land is at the center of geopolitics. May we merit Gd's having chosen us as His emissaries for humanity. 🙏

We have a great military and several thousand nuclear weapons, but all an enemy needs to do to bring us to our knees is raise gas prices by a dollar. Unless we change that equation, we have no future.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

In 2026, it’s apparently hilarious to joke about belonging to a terrorist organization that’s murdered Americans.

In an astonishing coincidence of timing, they’re removing Lieberman’s billboard at the entrance to Jerusalem right now.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

In a long post, Yisrael Beytenu chairman Lieberman confirmed he is prepared to join a change government alongside the ultra-Orthodox factions, with flexibility on the draft law included.

Yedioth published the full statement:

"The election results oblige all of us to recalculate our route and understand that there are no good alternatives or magic solutions before us. To grasp the scale of the responsibility on us, and the price we could pay for wrong decisions, it is important to learn from past mistakes and look several moves ahead.

I defined clear boundaries:
1. We must put an end to the Netanyahu era.
2. We must not be dragged into another election.
3. We must not form a government that relies on the abstention of the Joint List and Ra'am.

On every other issue, it is permissible and desirable to be flexible, to compromise and to understand that if you grasp too much, you grasp nothing. That also includes the draft law.

It hurts me, and I know it hurts many others too. But given the many challenges we face today, the national interest of the State of Israel and the people of Israel must stand above every other consideration."
