When I was deployed, my Afghan interpreter saved my life and the lives of my troops during an operation in a remote location outside the wire.

My interpreter was able to let me know that the Taliban had gotten intelligence that we were in the village and would arrive any minute to kill or capture us.

Exactly 8 minutes after we left the village, the Taliban showed up to kill us. Had it not been for my Afghan interpreter, I would not be here today.

For years I wrote letters to get all of my interpreters here to the United States. We made a promise to our Afghan allies, people who risked their lives and their families lives everyday to help us, that if they worked with us we would protect them and get them to safety.

It is the most unpatriotic and dishonorable thing we could ever do to go back on that promise. Not only is it dishonorable, it is dangerous to our current military operation, as soldiers are actively deployed overseas right now with no ability or capability to offer safety to those who agree to work with the United States.

Travis Hafner just hit his 6th grand slam of the season! That ties Don Mattingly for the most ever in a season.

The Indians incredibly scored 11 runs in first inning of today’s game!

Hi @SecRubio! Do you still consider it "my Corporate Transparency Act" on the day President Trump illegally gutted it? You were indeed one of its biggest champions, because you understood it prevented our biggest adversaries from hiding their wealth under our noses.

This will find its way to court. It will be struck down.

But the deletion of data currently available to law enforcement may be irreversible.

It's one of the most lawless and corrupt things this administration has done, and that's saying a lot.

Vein retractors are the perfect tool to remove the rubber O-rings on oil filters. I found that out yesterday. Literally perfect

While they’re telling you to put more beans in your beef so you can afford to make burritos for your family, remember the Israeli lobby spent $30 million to take me out of Congress because I wouldn’t vote for the things that have made your grocery bills so high.

Europe just quit the World Cup. UEFA and all 55 of its national associations announced they will not participate in FIFA competitions. No France, no England, no Spain, no Germany in the biggest tournament on earth.

The trigger is wild. Infantino wants to sell a piece of the World Cup to private investors for $4.2 billion. And each of the 211 national associations gets $20 million for voting yes.

211 times $20 million is $4.2 billion. The entire raise equals the approval payments. The investors would be funding the yes votes on their own acquisition.

Infantino thought the voting math made him unbeatable. FIFA runs on one country, one vote, so San Marino counts the same as Germany, and $86 million per federation through 2038 is transformative for small associations that have never qualified for a World Cup. He needs 106 of 211 votes, and he was buying them at retail.

UEFA just found the counter. Europe can't win the vote, so it's destroying the asset instead. European teams have won 12 of the 22 World Cups ever played. European broadcast money anchors the rights being sold. A World Cup without Europe is worth a fraction of the price, and every investor Kushner and JP Morgan are courting knows it by now.

The F1 comparison everyone's making misses the difference. Greg Maffei, who ran Liberty Media's Formula 1 takeover, is structuring this deal, but F1 privatization worked because the teams had nowhere else to race. UEFA already runs the Champions League and the Euros. Europe can exist without FIFA. FIFA cannot exist without Europe.

The vote is September 19. Infantino has the votes. UEFA has the teams. Only one of those makes a World Cup worth watching.

Someone should write a thriller about a radiologist who confesses to murder in the body of every report but gets away with it because everyone only reads the impression.

Interesting. I think you may be right. Could you specifically name anyone else responsible for this sorry state of affairs, like, I dunno, someone acting in some kind of executive capacity

The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China.

But the GOP is fighting communism!

The danger of continuing to act like a third world country is that you might actually become one.
