Having spent almost a decade teaching for the Pentagon JPME system, I cannot express how overdue @SecWar @PeteHegseth’s action is.
I’ve had O6 colonel’s tell me “Climate Change” was the greatest threat to America and CG’s at the formerly most prestigious SOF schoolhouse ban me as guest cadre simply because I served in the first Trump Administration.
Woke ideology and politics have no place in @DeptofWar.
Education must serve the warfighter. Period.
BREAKING: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Orders Sweeping Overhaul of Military Education to Refocus on Combat Lethality.
The directive reverses decades of academic drift, eliminating ideological distractions in favor of joint warfighting mastery, decision-forcing rigor, and competitive wargaming.

KEEP CROWING.
As a fellow attorney, you should know Congress cannot weaponize oversight to punish political opponents.
“Resign or face congressional action” raises serious questions about coercion and abuse of power.

Dear non-Jews,
As the next Jewish fast day is just 42 days away,
Please go ahead with your lives as usual because demanding other people adhere to your sensibilities or else is how violent invaders behave, and this is America and the whole point is live and let live.
Dear non-Muslims,
As Ramadan is just 92 days away,
Please avoid eating in front of Muslims who are fasting.
Please avoid drinking in their presence.
Do not deliberately tempt those observing the fast.
Muslims will be fasting from dawn until sunset.
A little consideration and respect go a long way. ❤️🌙

STATEMENT FROM THE KIRK FAMILY:
Today's decision to delay the trial of the man accused of murdering our beloved Charlie until at least June 2028, is deeply disappointing. While nothing will restore the time we have lost with Charlie, every additional day without justice prolongs our family's pain and forces us to wait even longer for accountability.
As we continue down this difficult road, we remain deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support that have sustained our family through these painful months.
Also, the idea that the USA let Iran 'improve its strategic position' by playing the Hormuz card is just wrong.
They always had the choice to commit economic suicide, and they would have played it at another time of their choosing if not in 2026.
Exactly right. Iran’s regime played its Hormuz card from a position of weakness and lost it to the formidable U.S. military. In doing so, it proved why the world can never again allow Tehran to hold global commerce hostage.
As nations develop alternatives, Hormuz will lose strategic leverage. Ali Khamenei envisioned permanent control of the Strait, backed by nuclear weapons and a massive ballistic missile and ICBM arsenal. Mojtaba has squandered that vision—losing his nuclear capabilities, much of that missile capacity, and his grip on Hormuz.

Tonight, we remember the victims of #Kristallnacht - the wave of state-sponsored, anti-Jewish pogroms that presaged the Holocaust.
It is always to tempting to believe we have learned the lessons of history - but as the global resurgence of antisemitism shows, that work is never done. We must stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters, today and every day.

If you think they want to get rid of Pete Hegseth because of the Iran war, you are stupid. Pete Hegseth has taken a hatchet to the leftist experiment in the US military. That is why they want him gone. No Republican should vote for impeachment.

U.S. Marine Corps Private First Class Henry Gurke of Neche, North Dakota, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on November 9, 1943, near Empress Augusta Bay on Bougainville Island.
Gurke enlisted in the Marine Corps in April 1942 and, by November 9, 1943, was serving as a private first class in Company M, 3rd Raider Battalion, 2nd Raider Regiment. On November 9, 1943, a grenade landed in the foxhole that he and a fellow Marine were standing in. He shoved his comrade aside and smothered the blast of the grenade with his body, sacrificing himself to save the life of a fellow Marine.
He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on November 9, 1943. Gurke was initially buried at Bougainville but then moved to Neche Union Cemetery in Neche, North Dakota. He was just 21 years old.

"Those who engineered and financed the first two world wars..." And who precisely Lara do you think that was?
America is a nation at war - but not the type of war most people recognize. No air raids, no tanks, no ground game like we’re used to seeing. And yet this is the biggest war the world has ever known. Those who engineered & financed the first two world wars recognized the limits of conventional conflict & turned instead to unrestricted warfare. Rather than invading with bullets & boots, they went for infiltraton of the education system, media & govt while exploiting technology & systematic ramping up of mass illegal immigration & the dark art of stealing elections.
The conversations dominating the news & social media right now would likely not be happening if people inderstood where we really are. When bombs are dropping from the sky & your house is reduced to rubble & flames & you’re searching the wreckage for pieces of those you love, you focus sharply on survival & winning because that is all that matters. Everyone understands the true nature of the threat in moments like that. You don’t have to waste time or energy trying to get people to face reality because we are all living that reality. Petty differences evaporate. Harsh ideological divides disintegrate. We focus where we need to, because failure to do so is counted in terms we cannot escape & we all get it without anyone having to explain anything.
In the warfare we know, heroes & cowards are born in plain sight & easy to separate. Traitors can only hide for so long. There is no confusion about gender. And the cost of every decision we make is clear to all. We don’t whine about long days or hard work or taking risks & we don’t worry about what people are going to say about us. We don’t because the cost of not acting is death/defeat & we all know what that means.
We don’t lack motivation & we don’t focus all our effort on how we got here. We all know arm chair quarter-having & yelling at the TV are luxuries no one can afford. That time has already passed.
We recognize that the fight for survival is not across the ocean in Europe, or somewhere far away. It is right here at our door. And the worst things we can imagine don’t have to be imagined, they are happening all around us.
Right now we still have hope that unrestricted warfare means we will be spared the bullets and the bombs. But that’s because we don’t know this beast. It’s not the movie we’ve seen so many times. This performance doesn’t open with the bloodshed - they save it for the final act.
The truth is there is no escape. No one gets off scott free. Everyone pays the piper. You may be able to buy time for you & yours, but you cannot run or hide or go along with it for long. This same fight is everywhere. Just look right now at Brazil, Poland, Hungary, Paraguay, Germany, France, South Africa and so on. Same issues. Same ideological architechture. Tactics & strategy align - end goal is the same. So those behind it? Same organizations, same, same money.
No one can tell you what you do not want to hear. No eyes can see what is lost to the willfully blind. And more than that, we are out of time.
Figure it out - or not. There is only one truth & none of us can alter it.

How many weeks does $8 billion buy? How much terrorism does the next $8 billion subsidize when they demand more? How fast do they rebuild all that’s been destroyed or degraded with the tens and hundreds to follow? Would we really trade Economic Outcast for Epic Extortion?

🚨BREAKING: American fighters are reportedly operating over Qeshm as explosions and fires erupt across the Islamic Republic’s strategic military corridor from the Strait of Hormuz to Bandar Jask.
Iranian state media have confirmed explosions or explosion-like sounds on Qeshm Island and around Sirik, Jask and Bandar Abbas. Images attributed to Jask show flames and a large column of smoke rising over the area.
Opposition and OSINT channels are reporting American strikes. Iranian outlets have offered incomplete or conflicting explanations, including possible Iranian military activity around the strait. The precise targets and damage remain unclear.
President Trump has confirmed limited American action in the area. He said American forces conducted “minor strikes” and destroyed a recently constructed Iranian air-defence system on Qeshm Island within approximately 15 minutes.
The action reportedly followed Iranian forces threatening or firing at American aircraft operating around the Strait of Hormuz.
Tonight’s activity appears to form part of the same continuing campaign against the regime’s air-defence, surveillance, missile and naval infrastructure along Iran’s southern coast.
Qeshm is Iran’s largest island and occupies a commanding position along the northern side of the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC can use the island for radar coverage, air-defence batteries, anti-ship missiles and surveillance of commercial shipping and American military movements.
Bandar Jask serves a different but complementary function.
Located on the Gulf of Oman east of the strait, it hosts Iranian naval facilities supporting surface vessels, patrol craft and submarine operations. Its position allows the regime to project power into the Arabian Sea without remaining confined inside the Persian Gulf.
Jask is also the terminus of the approximately 1,000-kilometre Goreh–Jask oil pipeline. The Islamic Republic built it to create an alternative export route capable of bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
The pipeline has a stated capacity of approximately one million barrels per day, although actual exports through Jask have remained extremely limited. It is not currently a viable replacement for Kharg Island, but its strategic purpose is clear: provide the regime with an external oil outlet if its facilities inside the Persian Gulf become unusable.
Together, Qeshm and Jask form critical points in the regime’s strategy for controlling the strait while protecting its naval and energy infrastructure from confinement within it.
The Islamic Republic has repeatedly claimed that it controls the Strait of Hormuz and can determine who passes through it. American aircraft operating over Qeshm and strikes against air-defence systems directly challenge that claim.
This remains limited kinetic activity rather than a confirmed return to full-scale war. But the geographic pattern is significant. Pressure is being applied simultaneously to the regime’s eyes over the strait, its weapons around the shipping lanes and its naval infrastructure beyond them.
The Islamic Republic built Qeshm to watch the strait and Jask to bypass it. Both are now inside the American target envelope.
