After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
🫡 Ilia Topuria surprised me with this statement at UFC 317 post-fight presser:
"I am not invincible. Quite the contrary. I feel that I'm beatable, and that's why I work so hard. I put so much dedication. And that's why I do the work that I do, and I don't want to leave anything out there. And the work is so well done that I feel that there's no doubt left.
And that's why I celebrate things the night before, because I feel that the victory is built and should be celebrated at the end of camp. Because I would not live with myself if I didn't put all the hard work out there. So I feel that that's what happens. I put so much hard work, and I deserve it."
This should be on a wall.
