Just posted my first piece on Substack, where I talk about my first 30 days as a Marine Corps officer at Yale University...Would love it if you took a second to read it and provide me any feedback...Thanks!

Charlie Kirk to @RubinReport about Dave's marriage to another man:
“I have no problem with, you know, gay marriage, whatever. Like I believe marriage is one man, one woman. That's my own personal position, right? But I'm never going to tell government to have someone live a life. I think it's cool you're married, I think it's great, and you should have all the same tax benefits, adopt children, it's great. Right?”
"Singapore will recognise the state of Palestine when it has an effective government that accepts Israel's right to exist. It must also categorically renounce terrorism."
Unlike the West, Singapore seems to still have some common sense.
Don't reward terrorism. Simple.
Bill Clinton: “In 2000, Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis.”
Alex: "If you could offer one remedy to heal a sick culture, physically, emotionally or spiritually, what would that remedy be?"
Ben: "Go to Church... and i say this as a Jew.. Go to Church"
Ben has always been a brilliant and inspiring figure on the right, someone I admire now more than ever. Critics on the left and woke right have spread absurd claims like calling him a Mossad implant or saying he wants to make TPUSA exclusively Jewish, showing how deeply absurdity has warped some minds.
Clip is from the latest episode of Culture Apothecary. Full episode link in the first reply.
According to Bloomberg, the Republic of Somaliland has offered the United States the opportunity to construct a naval base on its coast near the Bab al-Mandab Strait between the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, as well as a critical rare earth-minerals deal, in exchange for its recognition as an independent country from Somalia. This comes amidst a push by the President of Somaliland, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, for closer relations with Washington and the Trump Administration, who currently consider Somaliland as part of Somalia.
Following their announcement of aerial-superiority now over Western Iran all the way to the capital of Tehran, the Israel Defense Force has released a graphic showing all the strikes so far against Iran and what was targeted, with dozens of air-defense sites and radars having been destroyed by the Israeli Air Force.
The Israeli-American deception ahead of the strike was masterful. There was the Trump back-and-forth suggesting a deal might still be on the table, reports that Witkoff was holding a new round of talks Sunday, hints that Dermer was planning a trip, claims that CENTCOM commander Kurilla would arrive Saturday - and, of course, the wedding of @netanyahu’s son Avner, with a leak that the PM planned to spend the weekend in the North.
It brings to mind 2007, when IDF chief Gabi Ashkenazi attended a wedding just hours before Israel bombed Syria’s nuclear reactor, a carefully staged signal that all was normal.
The lesson? In moments like these, we see only the tiniest sliver of what is really happening. Like a submarine with just its periscope breaking the surface, we caught a glimpse. Nothing more.
Reminder that on April 12th, Trump publicly gave the Islamic Republic 60 days to seriously come to the table on dismantling their nuclear program or face military consequences.
Today was day 61….
@bpmccoy_bp ... Sir, do you mind 'following' me so that I can send you a DM. This is the only way I could find to get a hold of you. Nothing urgent...Thanks
A Marine SSgt recommended we relook at Special Duty. I was impressed to see how many Marine Reservists wanted to volunteer to go active for three years so they could be Recruiters, Drill Instructors, and Marine Security Guards. That’s a win/win for the entire Marine Corps...
