REPORTER: Why would more U.S. troops be sent to the region if ground troops are not being considered for deployment in Iran?
SECWAR PETE HEGSETH:
“Look, son… this is such a basic military lesson that even a reporter should understand it:
Never reveal to your enemy what you are going to do… or what you’re not going to do.
And certainly don’t tell them when you plan to surrender.
Especially to a coward who hides in bunkers, hoards his missiles like a miser, and prays that the United States will get tired and go home.
But let me give you some free advice: the next time you want to ask a question, try not to sound like you’re lobbying for the Iranian regime. It gives a very bad image.”
From Karl Streed -
I BET YOU DIDN'Y KNOW ABOUT THIS: AFTER FLIGHT 77 HIT THE PENTAGON ON 9/11, THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED.
A daycare facility inside the Pentagon had many children, including infants who were in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do.
There were many children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants who would need to be taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers.
Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, "Well, here we are, on our own."
About 2 minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 other Marines in tow.
Each of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers.
The director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of the center and down toward the park near the Potomac .
Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing - they formed a circle with the cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the Old West.
Inside this circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from wandering off.
Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the children and waiting for instructions. There they remained until the parents could be notified and come get their children.
The chaplain then said, "I don't think any of us saw nor heard of this on any of the news stories of the day. It was an incredible story of our men there.” There wasn't a dry eye in the room.
The thought of those Marines and what they did and how fast they reacted; could we expect any less from them? It was one of the most touching stories from the Pentagon.
It's the military, not the politicians that ensures our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It's the military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for the military, please pass this on and pray for our men and women, who have served and are currently serving our country, and honor the memory of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice!
God Bless The USA!
Never forget!!!
🚨 AMERICA, WAKE THE HELL UP. 🚨
The United States Senate just looked every single one of you dead in the eye… and spat in your face.
We had ONE shot.
ONE golden, once-in-a-lifetime chance to start reconciliation, supercharge our military, and FORCE the SAVE America Act through so the left can NEVER steal another election.
And what did the Senate do?
They FOLDED.
They QUIT.
They threw it all away like America meant NOTHING.
While our enemies circle like vultures and our troops are left begging for strength… these cowards decided their little summer recess was more important than the survival of this country.
This isn’t politics.
This is SURRENDER.
This is betrayal.
This is the sound of the Republic being sold out in broad daylight.
History is watching.
It will remember the ones who stood up…
and the ones who RAN.
The American people are DONE with this gutless theater.
We deserve warriors, not vacationers.
RT if you’re sick of watching Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Comment “FIRE THEM” if you’re ready to make them pay in November.
This is the moment.
Don’t look away.
🚨BREAKING: Chicago mayoral candidate Danielle Carter-Walters lays out her first 30 days plan.
If elected in 2027, she says she will:
- End sanctuary city policies immediately
- Launch a full forensic audit of all municipal budget activities to track exactly where taxpayer money is going
- Go directly into communities to recruit qualified Chicagoans as police officers
- Create strong incentives to hire and retain officers to close the nearly 2,000-officer shortage
Carter-Walters, a Chicago native, small business owner, and wife of a retired CPD officer, says: “When people know their leadership cares about them, supports them, and has their backs, they don’t mind working hard for you.”
She is positioning herself as a common-sense alternative focused on public safety, fiscal accountability, and putting Chicagoans first.
Restore Britain's costed plan for income tax is to raise the personal allowance to £16,000, extend the basic-rate band to £100,000 and restore the full allowance to ALL taxpayers.
Crucially, this will be implemented AFTER necessary cuts are delivered.
Our plan will not only give hardworking British men and women a huge financial boost, it will get inflation under control.
VAT will be brought down to 18%.
Along with abolishing stamp duty and inheritance tax, with vast swathes of stealth taxes being eradicated.
That means more money in a more affordable economy.
In addition, Restore Britain will abolish corporation tax on the first £50,000 of profits for all companies. With profits over £50,000 we propose an immediate restoration of the 19% rate, with an aspiration to reduce this to 15% as soon as fiscal conditions allow.
The economy will boom.
We have proposed exactly how we will fund this.
Cuts to welfare, funding for foreign nationals, quangos, net zero spend, freezing departmental budgets, NHS reform and more.
This is a properly considered policy document.
It's boring, tedious work - but this is exactly what we need to prepare. It's what Britain needs. Not nonsense slogans. An actual plan.
A Restore Britain Government will make life affordable again for hardworking British men and women.
If we're gonna unseat Thune in South Dakota, no one's better suited than the former two term Governor of South Dakota @KristiNoem
With a strong challenger like Noem, and Scott Presler on the ground, I'd advise Thune to start planning on life outside the Senate
Let Kristi know we need her to rid us of this Rino
TREASON 🚨
Desiree Townsend tracks down the guy seen wheeling McConnell around the Senate
But he must under some kind of gag order bc he's not saying a word, Just like McConnell's communication director
Until it's official, McConnell gets to remain as chairman of the rules committee... which it looks as though that's what Thune wants, so Ted Cruz doesn't assume the chair, until the clock runs out on the Save America Act being law b4 the midterms
The U.S. Senate has completely emasculated itself today compared to what it once was, and @rachelbovard didn't hold back calling out how worthless it's become:
“The current state of the Senate... it's an existential threat to the Senate itself... You have a Senate now that is literally run like an adult daycare. You know exactly when you're going to vote, you know exactly when you're going to have lunch, and you know exactly when you're going to go home. And for all of the remaining time, you sit on your carpet square, sip on your juice box, and wait to be told by the leadership what to do next."
Police Scotland arrested a 36-year-old white man after five men were injured, none with life-threatening injuries, in an attack in Edinburgh. At least two of those injured are Muslims, and the Prime Minister has quickly condemned the "anti-Muslim hatred."
Despite its overwhelming approval, the Save America Act never had a chance in the Senate.
John Thune is single-handedly blocking the bill that would ensure election security.
