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.

Worth the listen.

Agreed, my first thought yesterday.

Sebastian Gorka at the 2019 CPAC convention: “they want to take away your hamburgers. This is what Stalin dreamt about but never achieved.”

It's really important for people to internalize that, in the eyes of Washington DC's foreign policy establishment, the biggest sin of the Obama presidency was concluding a deal with Iran that objectively satisfied the demands that Washington DC pretends to believe in.

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24

“I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” - Trump, 11/5/24

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

A reminder that the orange felon falsely claimed that Kamala Harris would start many wars if she were President and now he’s bombing Iran, bombing Venezuela, ordering attacks in Nigeria, threatening Greenland, threatening Canada, threatening Mexico and more.

I’ll never regret voting for her.

THIS.

Happy Saturday! It's the weekend! While the "no new wars" President bombs his 8th country in 13 months, we had heavy fog in New Jersey, so here is a view from Thursday morning looking north. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Then what happened?

Agreed.

BREAKING: IRAN is closing the strait of Hormuz and is turning vessels around according to Reuters.

This is threatening 20% of the world’s oil & LNG flow.

So much for Affordability.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

The Co-President of the United States

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi: “I am dismayed. Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the US nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer.

You know, Ukraine has never blown up a school full of little girls. Sometimes an accident is not an accident, especially with countries like the US, Russia and Israel that repeatedly commit the same crimes against children.

1. The American people were under no imminent threat from Iran. Its government does not have nuclear weapons. It was no more threatening to Israel or any other US ally than it normally is.
