Questions #1-3 from the @HouseBenghazi Select Committee that the Coward @BarackObama refuses to answer to this day while hiding behind his lawyer:
1. The White House issued a readout of a 9/10/12 meeting indicating “specific measures” had been taken to “prevent 9/11 related attacks.” What were these specific measures, and how did these specific measures differ from specific measures taken on prior anniversaries of 9/11?
2. When did you first learn a U.S. facility in #Benghazi, Libya, had been attacked? What were you told, and by whom? Were you informed Sean Smith had been killed during the initial attack?
3. What orders or direction, if any, did you give to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta upon learning of the initial attack? Did you or anyone at your direction ever modify, withdraw, alter, or amplify the initial orders or direction you gave to Secretary Panetta?

Since it’s Veteran’s Day here is one of my favorites from Oklahoma’s own Jason Scott and the High Heat. Recorded at The Resonant Head in OKC “The Stone” tells a haunting story of a Veteran dealing with PTSD from war.
They did a studio version on their 2022 album but this acoustic version is fantastic as well.
Lyrics:
Johnny joined the army
Signed up to fight the terrorists
Now he can't put down the terrors in his mind
He took a rank, took a belly full of bullet weight
Now it takes a pint of gin to sleep at night
He don't talk about what went down in the desert
He just talks to the pictures on the wall
You can cover up the smell with lilac and vinegar
But his bones rattle when he talks
Like he's livin in a grave
Like he's dyin for a resurrection
But there ain't a pill to kill the pain
Ain't nobody gonna roll the stone away
He's just holdin on
He's just holdin on til he can let go
Sally makes his coffee, measures out the medicine
Still waitin on the VA on the phone
Yeah she's been livin in his tomb since he came home from the Army
She might as well be livin there alone
They went to church last sunday and heard the story one more time
About how the good lord he died and rose again
Well the good lord must be missin
Cause he sure as hell ain't listenin
And every day gets harder to pretend
Like she ain't livin in a grave
Like she ain't dyin for a resurrection
But there ain't a pill to kill the pain
Ain't nobody gonna roll the stone away
Yeah she's just holdin on
Yeah she's just holdin on til she can let go
Like they're livin in a grave
Like they're dyin for a resurrection
But there ain't a pill to kill the pain
Ain't nobody gonna roll the stone away

Plenty Horses and the Killing That Forced America to Call Wounded Knee a War
On January 7, 1891, nine days after the Wounded Knee Massacre, a young Sicangu (Brulé) Lakota named Plenty Horses (Tasunka Ota, pronounced tah-SHOON-kah OH-tah) shot and killed Army Lieutenant Edward W. Casey near the Stronghold in the Badlands of the Pine Ridge Reservation.
Plenty Horses had spent five years at the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. When he returned to the Rosebud Reservation he found himself caught between two worlds. He later told the court and reporters that he was an outcast among his own people. “Five years I attended Carlisle and was educated in the ways of the white man. When I returned to my people, I was an outcast among them. I was no longer an Indian. I was not a white man. I was lonely. I shot the lieutenant so I might make a place for myself among my people. I am now one of them. I shall be hung, and the Indians will bury me as a warrior.”
Casey was the commander of a troop of Cheyenne scouts. On that January day he rode with a small party toward a Lakota camp, hoping to speak with leaders and prevent further bloodshed. As he turned to leave after being warned away, Plenty Horses, positioned a few feet behind him, raised his rifle and shot Casey through the back of the head. The officer died instantly. Plenty Horses rode back to camp. He made no attempt to hide what he had done.
He was arrested weeks later and taken to Fort Meade near Sturgis for trial. His first trial ended in a hung jury after multiple ballots, with jurors split between murder and manslaughter. At the second trial, Judge Oliver Perry Shiras halted the proceedings. He instructed the jury that a state of war had existed between the Lakota and the United States at the time of the killing. Under that finding, Casey’s death was an act of war rather than ordinary murder. Plenty Horses was acquitted and released.
The decision carried consequences far beyond one man’s freedom. By recognizing a state of war, the court also protected the soldiers of the 7th Cavalry from potential murder prosecutions over the deaths at Wounded Knee. General Nelson Miles and other officers had argued that the Lakota were combatants. No soldier was ever charged for those killings. The acquittal of Plenty Horses helped lock that legal position in place.
After the trial, Plenty Horses largely disappeared from public view. He appeared once more at the South Dakota exhibit of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, then returned to the Rosebud Reservation. He married, raised children, and lived until 1933.
This 1891 photograph by John C. H. Grabill shows Plenty Horses standing between two U.S. soldiers near Pine Ridge, his hand resting on the barrel of a cannon. The image captures the man whose single shot forced a federal court to declare that war still existed on the northern plains, and in doing so shaped how America would remember the final chapter of the Indian Wars.

Eric Morris said he knows fans will be juiced for #OkState’s late, important game vs Texas Tech.
He asked them to please be safe. And then he said this: 🤣
“I was a silver bullet guy, but then you know I like the yellow bellies as well. So whatever their choice is, right?”

If the Senate votes to re-elect Senator Thune into a leadership position,
it means Republicans have learned absolutely nothing from the catastrophic loss of 2026.
(Was losing Kansas & potentially Alaska/Mississippi not enough for you?)

In the summer of 2014, @HouseBenghazi Select Committee Chairman @TGowdySC first discussed sending questions to Pres. Obama with his lawyer W. Neil Eggleston. In a Jan. 2016 meeting, Gowdy again raised with Eggleston the possibility of sending questions to the President.
As part of the proposal, Gowdy offered Eggleston the opportunity to review and comment on the Select Committee's questions in advance. The Obama White House refused every offer to meet and discuss the questions.
None of the questions the committee wanted to ask had ever been directly addressed by the Obama White House publicly, and for most of the questions, Obama is the only person able to answer.
On 6/25/16, Eggleston responded that he had advised Pres. Obama not to answer the Select Committee's questions. Specifically, he noted “implications” for the constitutional separation of powers.
Eggleston wrote “if the President were to answer your questions, his response would suggest that Congress has the unilateral power to demand answers from the President about his official acts."
Somehow Pres. Obama's lawyer did not object to him answering questions regarding the #Benghazi attacks on 60 Minutes and Univision. But to answer questions from the US Congress would, in his mind, create a constitutional crisis.
Every time you hear @BarackObama dismiss #Benghazi as a right-wing conspiracy theory, you would do well to keep in mind that the coward is STILL refusing to answer basic questions regarding his whereabouts while Americans were under siege and perished on his watch.
Yes 🫡
We look forward to blasting ‘Queen of My Double Wide Trailer’ outside of the CMA’s.
Hope it doesn't ruin your red carpet event.

Two railroad bosses swung at the final spike of America's first transcontinental railroad. Both missed.
It was May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit, Utah. Tracks laid west from Omaha and east from Sacramento had finally met.
A gold spike marked the occasion. It went into a pre-drilled hole in a polished wooden tie. The precious spikes would be taken away after the ceremony.
The real final spike was ordinary iron. Workers wired it and a hammer to the telegraph so the country could hear the blows.
Leland Stanford swung and missed. So did Thomas Durant. Construction supervisors finished the job.
The gold spike pictured here survives in Stanford's Cantor Arts Center collection.
Back at Promontory, the telegraph operator had already sent the word that set off celebrations across the country: "Done."

Nah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.
I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.
We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.
Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.
His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that’s not good.
GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.
We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.
And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.
So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then.
Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like…. actual enemies for once.
That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action.
From where I sit, the betrayal isn’t that Washington finally found some aggression for a chang. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.
No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY.
And I’m done pretending those are the same thing. We’re all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it.
Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.

The @HouseBenghazi Select Committee investigation exposed an imbalance of power amongst the 3 branches of federal government in favor of the Obama executive branch.
Threat of contempt of Congress was not sufficient to compel the executive branch to comply with subpoenas.
To restore the usefulness of the congressional contempt power, the Select Committee made 3 recommendations.
Recommendation #1: House and Senate rules should be amended to provide for mandatory reductions in appropriations to the salaries of federal officials held in contempt of Congress.
Recommendation #2: The criminal contempt statute should be amended to require appointment of a special counsel to handle criminal contempt proceedings upon the certification of a contempt citation against an Executive Branch official by the House or Senate.
Recommendation #3: Expedited procedures for the civil enforcement of congressional subpoenas should be enacted to provide timely judicial resolution of disputes.

Three outlaws fired two warning shots inside a Colorado bank in 1896, and those shots got all of them killed.
The robbers rode into Meeker, a small cow town, from Brown's Park, a remote outlaw hideout Butch Cassidy also used.
The leader fired through the cashier's brass railing to show he meant business. Clerks and customers threw up their hands while the outlaws emptied the cash drawer.
But the whole town heard the shots.
Townsmen grabbed rifles and shotguns and surrounded the bank.
The robbers came out a side door behind a line of hostages, so nobody could fire without hitting one. As they headed for their horses, the leader shot a game warden in the chest.
Then the hostages broke and ran.
All three outlaws went down in a hail of gunfire.
Seventeen days later, searchers found their getaway camp six miles out of town. Fresh horses were still tied there, waiting for riders who never came back.

Last night I was shooting video of the championship festivities and I noticed @mrs_klarson . She got all their kids to the track Sunday, was standing by helping them get to where they could stand on their dad @KyleLarsonRacin car for photo ops. Some referred to them as Kyle's kids for easier reference.
She was in the background and her kids and husband were featured but at the center of it all, you gotta know, is the hub of the wheel at home keeping it all together so her husband can focus on racing and become a three-time champion while still able to have an incredible family at home. Katelyn Larson is a champ.
