This hit piece tries to minimize the effect of Trump Administration efforts to fight our domestic enemies. These include the revolutionary Left and the Red Green Axis of Socialists and Islamists. The new Counterterrorism Strategy includes those groups alongside the cartels and the jihadists.

Her weak jabs at @SebGorka were only relevant to her readers who don't expect anything but gossip rag level mudslinging. Seb worked diligently to ensure the elements of the Left that are working to undermine Western Civilization were included.

And they should be. They use the open, free nature of our society to subvert from within. They are violent and now organized and well-funded. They are also connected with elements overseas.

They need to be rolled up and shut down. Good to know the Administration is acting

HONORING OUR HEROES: Today marks the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings — a pivotal moment in World War II, when tens of thousands of Allied soldiers stormed the French coastline to liberate an imprisoned Europe.

“Thousands of brave Americans advanced into chaos to save civilization,” said U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker in a message honoring those brave Americans. “We stand forever grateful for these heroes.”

During the Biden Admin millions of asylum cases were filed for people who were not refugees.

They were economic migrants. I can sympathize with their desire for a better life. But America as a country cannot accept everyone who wants to live here.

Now we have to deal with this and while it may cause emotional distress for many people, the alternative is to continue to bury our schools and social systems with that many more potential "citizens".

And that was the reason, aside from a desire to save the world at any cost, that led to the Open Borders policy. Bring in migrants, give them free stuff then transform them into Democrat voters.

It was an effective one of you ignore the horrific destruction to our civil society. But if all you wanted was power, then free voters paid for with Other People's Money was perfect.

Well it wasn't perfect and now we are seeing what it takes to fix it.

This year's NDAA has been vastly entertaining

The anti-Israel crowd is up in arms, hair on fire over a couple bits increasing partnership w/ Israel on weapons development & intel sharing.

The 1st is a simple joint development of tech but they still freaked out. The intel sharing is more interesting but not quite the "Mossad is running the CIA" Bannon is squallering about.

It simply upgrades Israel from a Transactional Partner (sharing on a case by case basis) to a Trusted Partner who we share with on a regular basis.

It recognizes the tremendous value of the information Israel has been sharing and formalizes the relationship for the future. Anyone who doubts that we get phenomenal intel from them is kidding themself.

Their human intelligence is stellar and that is our greatest weakness. Paired with our world class signals intel we make a powerful team.

None of this means Israel will have access to all of our intel or we to theirs. There will be specific things authorized for sharing and the rest not. Same for them.

But the other freak out is over language that if the President changes this he has to tell Congress why? That is part of oversight and after paying for the military the biggest role Congress plays.

None of this restricts the President from limiting the sharing or even ending it for national security concerns, he just has to report on that. No dilution of Art. II authority, just accountability for actions toward an ally.

What really chafes the cones of the Israel haters is language like this:

"(1) Israel remains a critical United States security partner whose defense and intelligence capabilities provide a strategic advantage that contributes to enhanced operational effectiveness and technological
superiority"

They still cling to their koo koo land belief that Israel is the great puppet master and Bibi is pulling President Trump's strings.

Anything that punctures that fantasy balloon makes them angry and the are big mad right now.

The @MEForum wargame last May accurately predicted the war w/ Iran and the Strait of Hormuz as a major weapon.

This year the topic was Turkey as a potential nuclear power.
Will this be prophetic also?
@greggroman spoke about this at the MEF Policy Conference in DC.

Turkey is a NATO ally but the aspirations of PM Erdogan to be Padishah of a neo-Ottoman empire present problems.

The war game was just as engaging as last year but let's hope that Turkey turns toward the West not it's desire for regional dominance.

.@SecRubio was on fire yesterday pushing back on comical attacks fm Congress.
He asked "What is this, a circus?"

I told Liz McDonald
"I would watch a reality show where he did that every day".

Asking about whether the President gave him shoes that didn't fit or whether he ever falls asleep in meetings hardly seems like the business the people elected them to do.

The Trump Administration seems to have collectively decided with both the media and the Left, but I repeat myself, to not suffer fools lightly.

Politically pointed questions from both now get biting, brutal retorts and I for one think they have earned that treatment.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Cuba is actually not controlled by the government. Cuba is controlled by a military holding company named GAESA. GAESA owns virtually everything, and not a penny of that money translates over to the public treasury.

Joe Kent shows his true colors at the Soros/Koch/Iran propaganda outlet Quincy Institute.

The US already jointly develops mil-tech w/ UK, Italy, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Japan
AND (drum roll please)
Israel
Admit it Joe, you have Israel Derangement Syndrome (IDS). It’s a virulent, brain-eating infection that seeks low-info conspiracy lovers and leads them to spout the most stunningly dense BS like this.

“The dangers of allowing any other nation to access our sensitive military technologies are obvious, including the fact that back doors and spyware can be installed that will most certainly be used by the Israelis to influence U.S. policy.”

Far from giving the nefarious Israelis control of our military and US policy, the proposed agreement specifically requires safeguards.

“(2) ensuring collaborative research initiatives involving government, private sector, and academic institutions in the United States and Israel, is done in a manner that protects sensitive technology and information and the national security interests of the United States and Israel; "

But I’m sure you assume those can be overcome by those devious members of that certain tribe, you know which one, right? Of course you do, you’re doing a great job not saying the word, but Israelis will suffice…for now.

Make sure to say hey to co-founder of Quincy Institute, Trita Parsi. He and I go way back since I’m a lifetime opponent of the Islamic Republic of Iran and he’s one of their tools. Which by the way, you are now as well. Congratulations.

According to Reuters, citing sources speaking on the condition of anonymity, the U.S. cuts to the capabilities it contributes to NATO’s Standing Forces include fighter jets, refueling tankers, naval assets, and drones. Per the report, the U.S. has told their European counterparts to bolster these capabilities and the message was delivered by the top U.S. commander in Europe, Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich. At the time of writing, it’s not yet clear when these capabilities will be reduced, but NATO nations have been warned that these reductions are indeed coming.
