Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

If, as they often claim, the US and Israeli militaries are the best in the world, why do they so often kill large numbers of innocent civilians?

It’s either deliberate, or incompetence. 🀷

Is it just me or does destroying police stations and basically all government infrastructure leave Iran pretty vulnerable to extremist groups in the region to exert even more influence in the country? Take out "bad guys" and very often there are worse guys ready to step into the void.

"You told Americans to depart now via commercial means when you know many airports/airspace are closed. You must immediately schedule U.S. government evacuation flights for the stranded Americans in danger. Maybe you should have thought of a frickin' plan first."

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.
