As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.

He’s a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.

If he’d been captured or injured, American troops would’ve had to risk their lives to bail him out.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Story at the The Free Press: Our 50 Year War with Iran

Bari Weiss is pushing the β€œ50 year war” narrative at both the Free Press and CBS. The erases both American culpability for the current war (since Iran started in 1979!) and the reasons why a theocratic anti-American regime took power in the first place.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
