Rush Limbaugh’s voice blaring on the radio. The smell of cattle wafting in the air. The privilege to share beliefs and values with neighbors.
These are the treasures of the America I grew up in and will fight for.
If you want to know where I came from, here’s the story:
Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) delivers an incredibly powerful speech about Iran.
Watch every second of this.
"Yesterday we saw the president of the United States and many others at Dover Air Force Base presiding over a ceremony that is very sacred to those of us who served, and that is a dignified return of remains from the war zone.
That process happens beginning in the war zone through Dover to the hometown of our fallen heroes. I participated in many of those ceremonies myself to include carrying friends of mine off the plane.
One of those is on this bracelet. He was cut in half by an Iranian EFP.
This regime that we are fighting does not care about our partisan politics. They don't care who you voted for, who you pray to, or where you live. They want to kill all of us. And they don't just say it, they actually do it, and they've been doing it for forty-seven years.
This is a war of choice. The Democrats are correct. It's a war of choice that was begun by a radical lunatic band of terrorists that took over a beautiful nation 47 years ago, took it over with brutality, force, and savagery. And the second they took it over, they didn't free their people, they didn't unleash the largest oil reserves in the world to build schools and bridges.
They took it over to murder their own people and to spread their disgusting ideology across the world, and that is exactly what they have been doing. They don't just say it and talk about it. You don't have to believe what they say. You can simply watch what they've done.
They have attacked families, women, children, innocent people. They don't just attack them and kill them, they rape them. They skin them alive on camera. They celebrate it. They honor those people who do disgusting things that we would put in jail for the rest of their lives in this country, and they do it for fun, and they pay them money to do it, and they're heroes to that nation.
They've done it to friends of mine. They've done it to families who've been in this chamber. And the fact that we sit here and listen to elected officials of this country defend these lunatics who want us all dead. They want all of you dead. They want all of us dead.
They don't want us to disappear with a snap of a finger. They want us to be raped, burned alive, and cut into pieces. Watch the video from October 7. That's what they want to happen from Maine to San Diego, from Seattle to Miami. They want this country turned into a burning husk of its former self, and you don't have to theorize that.
That's what they do. From the 1983 barracks bombing, where 280 Marines were vaporized in a morning, from USS Cole to the Achille Lauro, to every terrorist attack, from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas. These are not humanitarian freedom organizations. They are death-dealing cults, and they want all of us to die brutal deaths.
William Buckley was abducted in 1985, an American military officer. He was skinned alive on camera by the Iranians. American prisoners of war who were captured. They were never called prisoners of war because they were captured by lunatic terrorists, so they were not subject to the Geneva Convention. They were captured and murdered, power drills through their brains. This is in Iraq. These are families that have dealt with this, and they've never gotten a single dime.
These families have never gotten restitution, and not a single president has ever stood up to them. Love Donald Trump or hate him, love his policies, hate ICE, love ICE, whatever. There's never been a single president who has stood up to Iran and hit back. For 47 years, our troops and our families have been absorbing attack after attack after attack all over the world.
And their radical ideology does not stop at the Persian Gulf. It doesn't stop at Tel Aviv. They want to do this everywhere. It's a global radical ideology, and we've been fighting it for half a century.
We didn't start this war. We did not, but we will finish it. And forever wars are not popular with anybody these days. Both sides of the love to attack our forever wars. And I can promise you, being someone overseas wearing the uniform, when you're fighting for your country, you don't care what party's in office, but you're fighting to defend your country, and you turn on the news and see your elected officials stabbing you in the back, telling you that you're failing, that you've failed every goal of the war, is what I just heard.
Last time I checked, we've wiped these bastards out. An occasional missile strike and boats in the straits, that's not military strength. Those are the flailings of a failing empire. Those are the flailings of a nation in collapse because they deserve it. So I encourage our colleagues on both sides of the aisle, whatever's politically convenient, whatever plays well on Twitter or Facebook, think about the people who are deployed right now, standing on that wall with a loaded weapon, who have volunteered to defend our country and our way of life.
Because they are there defending us in a just war, because we did not start a war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They started it with us 47 years ago, and their attacks have gone unanswered for half a century. It's time to fix this problem and make sure another generations of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary."
I feel the need to explain this. Why Iran still has capability.
I’ll answer the initial question with a question: Do you think you can crush an enemy’s ability to mass combat power even though they can still retain some isolated/dispersed capability elsewhere?
The answer should be yes.
In GWOT we dealt with this. There was no doubt the U.S. military had overt control of the battle space. Where we went, we won.
But we still dealt with asymmetric threats. And that’s what you’re seeing now, albeit at the strategic scale.
GWOT vets will remember the 107mm rocket barrages. They happened frequently. We played whack a mole trying to prevent them from launching but they were crafty.
The rockets were designed to harass, and they did.
Did they cause mass casualties? No. Did they get a few of us? Yes. Did the enemy control the field as a result of these attacks? Absolutely not.
War is complicated yet simple. Iran has been a pain in the ass like this for a long time. You are not dealing with a rational state actor. They are religious fundamentalists who don’t care about a centralized chain of command.
If the Ayatollah says “ceasefire”, some zealot can easily say “yea don’t care, FIRE.”
They have no ability to mass meaningful combat power. They can only harass with the missiles and launchers they’ve been stockpiling for generations. And every one they exposed, almost certainly gets deleted by CENTCOM.
This is the dance we do with these evil people. The problem is America has to be exceptional everywhere all of the time.
A terrorist only needs to be successful in one place a portion of the time.
Iran is doomed. Mistaking harassing ballistic missile fire for meaningful offensive capability is foolish.
And for every hair harmed on an American head, the cost visited upon the whole of Iran will become too costly to bear.
There is no universe where they succeed. Unless you are an enjoyer of Marxist media like The Washington Post or The Atlantic. Where they cheer for the Ayatollah like he’s David versus Goliath.
Pure copium.
🚨 HOLY HELL Minnesota is way DARKER than anyone thought.
A Somali refugee just blew the entire welfare racket wide open.
He says they TOLD him to refuse assimilation and jump straight onto Section 8 and government benefits. That’s the “system.”
“I was told to go find discounted housing, get on Section 8, sign up for community benefits.”
And when he suggested actually integrating?
His own community ATTACKED him.
“The community treated welfare like a way of life. I said we can do better. They said no.”
He came here at 29, fully aware of what he escaped in Somalia. And even HE is shocked at the fraud and rot in Minnesota.
Massive respect to Abdi Iftin for exposing what Democrats desperately try to hide.
He gave Lisa Paige the assurance Trump wouldn't be President
He said we will stop it... that's a crime.... that's conspiracy
And there are no statute of limitations on conspiracy
Charge Peter Strozk right now....
And there it is:
In black and white:
An FBI declassified document released by @FBIDirectorKash CONFIRMS that Adam Schiff was promised the position of Director of the CIA by Hillary Clinton if he helped topple the U.S. government.
Paper ballots are the smartest, safest way to ensure your vote is secure against attacks by foreign actors. Russia can’t hack a piece of paper like they can a computer. We introduced the Secure Elections Act to ensure our elections are safeguarded. We must be ready.
CONNECTING THE DOTS: SUPPRESSION CHINA INTELLIGENCE 2020 ELECTION
FBI Deputy Assistant Director (DAG) Counterintelligence
Floris writes, “I’m basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point”
Hunter Biden Laptop: August 2020
@SenRonJohnson confirms that Nikki Floris was one of the FBI agents who gave him and @ChuckGrassley a "defensive briefing" about a Russian disinformation campaign targeting the Biden family.
An FBI defensive briefings is a specialized counterintelligence presentation that is done to alert, in this case members of congress, that they maybe the target of a foreign intelligence service.
Senator Johnson said he believes the FBI "defensive briefing' was designed to discourage Senators from pursuing the Hunter Biden laptop, and to lay the groundwork, for the false narrative in October 2020, that Hunter Biden's laptop was part Russian influence operation.
Based on her recent online profile, I have asked her employer for comment.

Hey @bariweiss, when Biden admin announced China obtained 40 million of Great Britain’s publicly available voter files @CBSNews covered it seriously. But when DJT announced China got 240 million of Americans voter files your team dismissed like it was no big deal. Why?
WOAH 🚨 Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge reviewed the documents just released by the Trump Admin on election integrity and finds CIA emails showing they were working against Donald Trump to aid China and the Democrats in the 2020 election
“I've been digging into the documents already and I found this November 2020 email, and it specifically states, it's a conversation among intelligence officials, it specifically states that they have, quote, deliberately massaged one of our pending PDBs. That's the president's daily brief. To avoid any direct links to the election”
“This was a massive effort, what they call a multi-domain operation. That means trade, it means diplomacy, it means open-source information, it means social media. So all the levers of power China had to influence the US election”
And our own CIA worked to make sure the r President wasn’t aware of any of this information, they literally removed it from his daily briefing
Literally treason
“In the summer of 2020, as we're heading into the election, in the intelligence community there were indicators of this Chinese influence operation. Influence operations means that you're trying to affect the outcome of how people vote or their sentiment about a presidential candidate.
It's different than an interference operation, which is penetrating voting rolls and voter systems. And this whistleblower was raising the alarm about the influence operation, and then suddenly it all was suppressed”
“In some of their reports, there were in officials' own handwriting that they wanted everything out that could help President Trump in his reelection. So there was clear evidence of political and personal bias”
They wanted to remove EVERYTHING that could possibly help Trump win reelection
Again, literally treason
Also if you remember awhile back, a former CIA officer named Pedro Israel Orta who worked at the CIA during the Trump Administration said the CIA didn’t even recognize him as the President, they wouldn’t even put his picture up on the wall which was customary for all Presidents
They were actively working against him
At this point, if you don't support mandating voter ID and proof-of-citizenship to vote, I will just assume that you're in favor of illegal aliens voting and foreign adversaries compromising our elections.
Tonight POTUS is declassifying records about the Chinese Community Party's "multi-domain" influence operations in 2020.
CCP used all elements of government power, trade, diplomacy, social media, open source reporting to undermine his re-election.
President Trump called it "the largest compromise of election data in history," resulting in China's acquisition of 200 million US voter files.
NOTE: CCP could use this data for multiple purposes: voter fraud, identity theft and to target Americans for recruitment.
President Trump said the Chinese influence operations was intentionally suppressed by elements of the US intelligence community and withheld from him.
In April, I reported on the whistleblower complaint that is central to the China election influence and meddling allegations.
For speaking up about the bias, and the suppression of intelligence, the whistleblower was severely retaliated against.
There is an opportunity now to make it right for them and their family.
The biggest lesson I learned in intelligence had nothing to do with secrets. People often assume intelligence is about having access to classified information. It isn't.
The best intel officers I worked with weren't successful because they knew more than everyone else. They were successful because they noticed the little things that others overlooked.
Before the attacks on September 11th, there were clues. Before COVID became a global pandemic, there were clues. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, there were clues. Before the Taliban rapidly retook Afghanistan, there were clues.
The problem wasn't that there was no information. The problem was that the information wasn't connected, prioritized, or ACTED upon.
Good intelligence starts by asking different questions.
What changed?
What's missing?
Why now?
Who benefits?
Those same questions matter just as much outside the intelligence world.
Whether you're evaluating a news story, making a business decision, preparing for hurricane season, or simply trying to understand what's happening around you, the goal isn't to know everything. It's to recognize patterns before everyone else does.
One unusual event rarely tells you much. But when several small indicators all begin pointing in the same direction, that's when you should pay attention. Your goal is not to predict the future, it's to reduce a surprise.
The next time a major story breaks, don't immediately ask whether it's true or false.
Ask:
(1) What do we actually know?
(2) What information is still missing?
(3) Who benefits from this narrative?
(4) Has something like this happened before?
(5) What would change my mind?
Most people consume information.
Think like an analyst instead.
The world doesn't need more opinions. It needs more people willing to slow down, ask better questions, and pay attention.
A cow takes grass (inedible to humans) and produces:
- Meat (complete protein + fats)
- Milk (complete nutrition)
- Leather (clothing, tools)
- Tallow (cooking fat, soap, candles)
- Bones (tools, broth, fertilizer)
- Organs (nutrient-dense food)
- Manure (fertiliser)
This is complete resource utilisation from a plant humans cannot eat.
You cannot replicate this with any technology. The cow is performing chemical transformations we cannot industrialise.
Grass → complete human nutrition is alchemy.
The cow is worth more than any machine humans have invented.
It runs on rain and grass. Produces multiple products. Builds soil while operating. Sequesters carbon. Reproduces itself.
And we're told to eliminate them for environmental reasons.
While flying in almonds from California and soy from Brazil.
The stupidity is breathtaking.
It’s a federal felony to undermine the United States with foreign governments—especially our enemies with which we are in armed conflict.
18 U.S.C. § 953
It’s also a federal felony to conspire to do this.
18 U.S.C. § 371
The DOJ’s National Security Division must investigate.
