The Fourth Amendment isn't a suggestion. It's the law. Yet Washington spies on Americans without warrants and hides behind classified rubber stamps. I'm fighting to end it with my Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act.

Joe Kent on Iran and foreign influence in America: “If we don’t fix this, this could be the end of the country as we know it.”

Targeting @RepThomasMassie is an egregious breach of the President’s promise to put Americans first. With a flood of dirty cash, Pres. Trump made this race a national referendum on self determination and the consent of the governed. We must now fight for Kentucky—nationally—in order to Rescue the Republic.
I’m donating to Massie’s campaign, and helping spread the word. I hope you will as well. We must draw a line—and hold it.

POTUS is laying out two courses of action—a negotiated settlement, or a major escalation.
There is a third option, and he should take it: recognize there is no way to force a positive outcome and simply leave.
The region is not ours to fix. President Reagan chose this path in Lebanon in ‘84, withdrawing U.S. forces after the Beirut barracks bombing once it became clear the mission’s stabilization goals could not be met, effectively ending direct American military involvement and avoiding a deeper quagmire and long-term entrenchment in the region.
A negotiated settlement is unlikely to work or be taken seriously by the Iranians unless we make concessions on the enrichment issue. As we saw yesterday in the SOH, the IRGC is empowered to act without the consent of the civilian leadership, so it’s likely they won’t honor any deal reached.
A major escalation will lead to a very destructive outcome for Iran, the region, and eventually the U.S. If POTUS chooses brute force and targets civilian infrastructure, we will create another generation of radicalized Iranians who will rally around the regime and escalate the war by any means possible.
If POTUS opts to strike the civilian infrastructure, declare victory, and then leave, we will only further erode our standing in the world, the petrodollar, and eventually our status as the world’s reserve currency holder. We need to get out now.
Don’t double down on failure. Avoid the sunken cost trap, leave now, and put America’s interests first.
Donald Trump telling Ron DeSantis to pardon Tiger Woods after getting a DUI so he can go back to “playing golf” is a perfect depiction of how the U.S. is just a corrupt rich people playground.
