Medal of Honor recipient Staff Sgt. David Bellavia:

'We’ve seen war. We don’t want war. But if you want war with the United States of America, there’s one thing I can promise you, so help me God… someone else will raise your sons and daughters”

Meme of the day😉

I criticized the “Defund the FBI” narrative pushed by the right

But I have no such objections to “Defund NPR”

I still hate the Elon Musk version of the Twitter algorithm

Maybe it makes more sense commercially, but it’s so incredibly focused on echochambers that it gets boring

In geopolitics, everything depends on assumptions…not the analysis

Geopolitical experts always feed you certain assumptions, which seem very plausible, and then rightly present the best solution

Don’t question the analysis…that’s usually correct

Challenge their assumptions

Many of the same members that voted against TikTok legislation also voted against my bill to target cartels and CHINESE fentanyl precursor producers in China (and by target, I literally mean *allowed to apply for a warrant to collect intel on them*).

Starting to see a pattern?…

How many terror attacks in the west by third world Christians or Hindus (as compared to Muslims)?

When your religion embraces death above life, you’ve got problems

I’ve thought more on the topic of Israel retaliating against Iran

A few thoughts
-Iran is the dog that caught the car…they’ve now given Israel a pretext to strike directly into Iran
-This is not about revenge for Israel…if they strike it needs to be something of strategic…

“Hamassholes” is so on the mark😂

Trump’s NYC trial is an embarrassing sham

I’d be ashamed if I was a Democrat

Summary:

Israel killed Republican Guard commanders in Syria

Iran launches retaliation against Israel that does little damage (IMO intentional)…similar to Soleimani, it’s a weak response

Israel using this as pretext to escalate

Blow up Iran’s nuclear program?

Can’t disagree

X is by far the most consequential social media platform for primaries

But it’s also the least consequential platform for general elections

That’s not necessarily a good thing

Meme of the day😉

If the point of escalation is to capitalize on a strategic blunder by Iran to take out Iran’s nuclear program…fine

It’s risky, but that’s for Israelis to evaluate

Hezbollah has hundreds of thousands of Iranian rockets ready to launch into Israel

Yesterday was only 350
