When we were preparing to go to Iraq in 2005 we had an Iraqi who had fled Iraq, and ended up in the employ of the CIA briefing us on culture, and Ramadan came up.
One of the senior officers in the auditorium spoke up quickly, and started to say we should not drink, eat, or smoke in front of Iraqis during Ramadan, to respect their culture.
This CIA dude immediately locks eyes with this officer and asks very loudly
“WHY?!”
The officer was a little caught off guard, and before he could answer the CIA guy started explaining.
“You are American, you are Christian, you DO NOT celebrate Ramadan, and if you don’t carry on as an American during Ramadan it will be seen as weakness. It reinforces their idea that their god is the only true god, and that all others will bow before Islam.
If they don’t offer you a drink when you come to their home, ask for one, during Ramadan!
Make them respect you, or they will attack you more because they see you as weak.
They are asserting their dominance, and if you falter in the slightest they see you as less than them.”
That stuck with me, and it was true.
You could see they didn’t respect the guys who went out of their way to accommodate them, both in the way they acted towards American troops, and in the number of attacks on US Forces in the areas.
Eat, drink, and be Merry, even during Ramadan.
FREEDOM ! 🇺🇸
Keep That PMA 🇺🇸
Just as we’ve seen cartels openly advertise smuggling services on Instagram and TikTok in the past, Indian smuggling gangs have adopted the tactic in large numbers and are facilitating illegal Indian migration into the United States through the Northern Border.
All it takes is a simple keyword search.
Search “USA to Canada Safe” and you’ll find hundreds, if not thousands, of ads openly promoting human smuggling services into upstate New York and Vermont.
Crossings are happening every day as there is little meaningful border security on either the Canadian or American side of the Northern Border.
The growing influx of Indians into places like New Jersey, New York, Chicago, Indiana, Texas, and communities across the country is directly tied to the lack of enforcement and security along our northern border.
In many cases, those making the journey are provided housing, transportation, food, and employment upon arrival, creating a well-established pipeline that extends far beyond simply crossing the border.
Add in the continued abuse of the H-1B visa system, along with the challenges surrounding immigration enforcement and assimilation, and these issues only continue to compound.
I keep hearing about how much money the GOP and associated PACs have ahead of the 2026 midterms...
None of it matters if the money is spent on highly paid (useless) consultants and their firms.
None of it matters if it's used on TV and radio ads.
Pay door knockers.
Pay ballot chasers.
Pay people doing real things in the real world.
Don't pay the same scrubs who continue to fail in crunch time.
Money means nothing if it's spent on garbage. And the same "ivory tower" consulting firms are precisely the "garbage" that I am talking about.
@PolitiBunny Boomers were told the exact same thing. We were told to 'make other plans for retirement' because 'social security will be dead by then'. We listened and struggled as we made those other plans.
Many, many young women were getting wild periods, etc after the vaccine. Bleeding for months on end, ovarian cysts, etc. Disregarding this, and its possible long-term effects on young reproductive systems, was irresponsible. They should have been studied before more application of the vaccine. This is in addition to the heart effects on young men, especially since it was an age group that was not as susceptible to the virus.
Wow, Mullin delivered a masterclass in how to give terrible answers during a single interview.
Listen as he politely explains why your safety comes second to his lobbyists.
This is the man running DHS.
Now you know why we’re not getting mass deportations…
TREASON 🚨
Jennifer Griffin is so biased against Pete Hegseth, that she just disclosed our weapons stockpiles, for all our enemies to see
Raise your hand ✋️ if you want @FoxNews to remove her as Pentagon correspondent and replace her with @LucasFoxNews
This cannot stand 👇
Every time I look up, I see a new terrible answer or thought coming out of Mark Mullin’s mouth in this interview.
He proudly announces nearly 900,000 naturalizations in 12 months (95% third world immigrants), then lectures us about the legal process.
He celebrates your replacement as long as it’s done legally, without mentioning that 80% of legal immigrants will vote Democrat.
This is the man running our Department of Homeland Security.
And we wonder why we’re going to lose the midterms?
But that's not what you told the governors today. Are you deporting all illegals or just the worst of the worst? If you don't have the stomach for the job, resign.

@SecMullinDHS If you truly mean that, I’d probably refrain from signaling to illegals that ICE “won’t be seen” in their cities as long as the “worst of the worst” are turned over
