Senator Ron Johnson@SenRonJohnson·
.@SenMullin is a man of integrity who will do a great job as secretary of Homeland Security. He has reached across the aisle and built strong relationships with members of both parties in the House and Senate. Those relationships will be important as secretary of Homeland Security. I hope we hold the vote tomorrow, and I will certainly support him.

@RoboSidor @Megatron_ron I can't directly link here, but if you go to Fandom and look up the imagined timeline of the original trilogy, it's not so far off! Most surprisingly, to most casual viewers, things didn't actually go nuclear until after "The Road Warrior!"

Joe Kent resigning and immediately pivoting to blaming Israel for everything is as predictable as it is unserious. Scapegoating Israel isn’t just a tired antisemitic trope – it’s anti-American. This is a guy with ties to white supremacists and has “PANZER” tattooed on his arm, referring to a Nazi tank infamously used in crimes against Jews. Kent's reduction of Iran to “Israel’s fault” isn’t leadership, it’s bigoted deflection.
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@HW_Americans Kemp is helping a lifelong friend, plain and simple, and given the rest of the GOP field, I don't blame him, even if Dooley's short career as a coach suggests he might not be a great administrator, either.

Governor Kemp looked at every candidate in this senate race and chose Derek Dooley. The only pro-Trump outsider committed to Trump's agenda. Not the career politicians.

@RCPolitics You need to add "retired" to that, because he is, thus he would not know the plan or even if there was one. I'm guessing he's one more who got promoted on the basis of who he drank and played golf with.

It’s unconscionable that Democrats are refusing to fund the very agencies needed to clean up their messes and keep America safe — especially given the heightened threat from Iran. They get away with it because the legacy media does not hold them accountable. We should be funding @CBP and @ICEgov to secure our nation instead of playing politics with national security.

@OmarFxCap @jfjoubert The meaning of "Muslim" is someone who obeys and submits to God, and like many English words, its usage might vary according to context. The Quran does indeed say this not only of Jesus but also Adam, Noah, Abraham and the patriarchs.

Former Qatari PM calls on GCC states to form a NATO-style military alliance led by Saudi Arabia, strengthen joint defense industries, and overcome internal disputes. He argues Gulf states should not bear the costs of a war they did not start; and going forward deepen strategic ties with Turkey and Pakistan.

هذه الحرب في منطقتنا كغيرها من الحروب ستنتهي، ولكنْ هناك دروس وعبر يجب على دول مجلس التعاون أن تستخلصها وأهمها التكاتف والتحالف ووحدة الكلمة والموقف. فقد بات لا مناص أمام دول المجلس من إقامة حلف عسكري أمني فاعل وحقيقي وواقع على الأرض، كما هو حلف شمال الأطلسي، يكون فيه للسعودية الدور الأهم باعتبارها الدولة الأكبر. ونظرا لأهمية الموضوع يجب البدء بدراسته والإعداد له الآن من دون الانتظار لانتهاء الحرب. ومن أجل ذلك يجب على دول المجلس أن تتجاوز، بعزم ومن دون تأخير أو تردد، كل ما بينها من خلافات حفظا لمصالحنا المشتركة، وحفاظا على المجلس قويا متماسكا، وضمانا لاستقلال شعوبه ودوله، وتغليبا للمصلحة الخليجية العامة على المصلحة القُطْرِيَة. وعلينا ألا ننتظر كذلك انتهاء القتال، بل يجب أن تبدأ دول المجلس على الفور في إنشاء وتطوير قاعدة صناعات عسكرية وإليكترونية متقدمة ومنسقة ومخططة فيما بينها، حتى تستطيع أن تدفع عن شعوبها العدوان، وأن تستبق وتردع أي هجمات تستهدفها قبل وقوعها. ودولنا تمتلك الجغرافيا والموارد والأموال اللازمة لذلك. ولعلنا نأخذ العبرة من إيران التي استطاعت، رغم الحصار، أن تطور لنفسها قاعدة صناعة صاروخية متقدمة، قصفت للأسف بها دولنا واعتدت عليها من دون وجه حق. وبما أن دول المجلس لم تبدأ هذه الحرب، ولم تردها أصلا، وكانت تسعى من اجل حل بين الولايات المتحدة وإيران، فيجب الا تتحمل دولنا ما سوف يترتب على الحرب من تبعات اقتصادية وسياسية. ويجب أن تتحمل إسرائيل، باعتبارها من أشعل شرارة الحرب المسؤولية أمامنا وأمام العالم والولايات المتحدة. فهذه الحرب بدأتها إسرائيل لتجعل نفسها صاحبة اليد العليا في المنطقة عسكريا واقتصاديا وسياسيا، كما تعلن كل يوم. ولذلك علينا في دول المجلس أن نقف صفا واحدا، سواء تجاه إسرائيل أو تجاه إيران. فإيران ستظل جارة لنا على الدوام مع أننا نختلف معها، ونرفض ما قامت وتقوم به تجاهنا، ونعتبرها نتيجة لذلك، عدوا لنا اليوم، وهو ما يتعين على دولنا أن تناقشه وتتفق عليه لنحدد الأسلوب الأفضل للحوار مع إيران وما نقبله ولا نقبله من سياساتها. حتى لا تكون دولنا كبش فداء كلما نشب قتال او سوء فهم بين إسرائيل وأميركا وإيران. وكذلك إسرائيل ليست بعيدة عنا، وقد نحتاج لتفاهم معها، ولكن ليس حسب سياساتها المعلنة، بل وفقا لمبادئ حسن الجوار بما يخدم الحقوق الفلسطينية وفي الأراضي العربية المحتلة والمصالح المشتركة. كل ذلك يستدعي صفاء النوايا بين دول المجلس وأن يكون الفيصل هو القانون والعقل والمصلحة المشتركة وليس المصالح الذاتية والآنية تحت أي ظرف أو لأي سبب. وأنا لا أشك في نوايا قادة دول المجلس، لكن المطلوب الآن هو أن نكون على قدر ما تفرضه علينا هذه الأوضاع من مسؤوليات تاريخية. ومما يثير الاستغراب، أننا لم نسمع من دول عربية عدة موقفا قويا تجاه ما تتعرض له دول المجلس، حين آثرت تلك الدول أن تغض الطرف وأن تلتزم الحياد، لأن ما يهمها هو مصالحها. وهذا بحد ذاته يستدعي من دولنا في المجلس تفكيرا عميقا يجعلنا نُقِيم على الفور ذلك الحلف الخليجي العسكري والأمني والجغرافي الذي يرتبط مع تركيا وباكستان بعلاقات تحالف متينة لاتغنينا عن سواعد أبنائنا

This is a smart strategy. Thanks to President Trump, the U.S. is energy independent. The countries that actually depend on Gulf oil should apply pressure to reopen the strait.

Let me dust off my crystal ball and explain what's going to happen here. Iran is going to lose this war. Their ability to terrorize the region will be over. This will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity in the Middle East. Hezbollah and Hamas will be eliminated. Once the war ends, which should be within the next month or so, gas prices will fall to their lowest levels in years. All of the recent stock market losses will recover and more. Once Hamas is gone, places like Gaza will be rebuilt to rival the beauty of Dubai. The Republicans will win the House and the Senate in the midterms. MAGA will dominate DC for a generation. And that's the way it is.

@Georgia_AG Sure, everyone who lives, works and votes in Georgia should feel safe, preferably without even more excessive law enforcement in their tacticool. Private security took care of the guy in Michigan just fine. Israel should have no bearing whatsoever on state government.

Honored to join Rabbi Peter Berg & all those at The Temple last night to share our continued commitment to fighting antisemitism wherever it occurs. No one should ever fear violence for simply gathering to worship, & we must remain vigilant against hate & extremism in all its forms. We’ll always proudly stand with Israel & the entire Jewish community.

Iran has started launching strikes on specific addresses of Israeli leaders, ministers, commanders, pilots, and intelligence officers. Targeted objectives, specific houses, precise strikes... In fact, a real hunt for people has begun within Israel. There is great anxiety in Tel Aviv. Some are trying to save their lives. Many are going into hiding. Apparently, Israel did not expect that Iran had such capabilities. They acted confidently and without looking back — now this has become a shock for them. Another question arises: who helped Iran gain such capabilities, who provides navigation and digital intelligence. ©K.Muazzin

Legacy media remains in free fall as they struggle to paint America and Israel winning decisively in combat with #Iran as a devastating or inevitable loss for the two countries and their allies in the Gulf b/c the combat is not over in 14 days and oil is at $100 a barrel. Make no mistake, the United States and Israel are winning decisively but have not yet achieved a decisive win. I don’t believe @POTUS will accept anything less than such a win. Unless you are cheering on the “alliance of tyrants” in China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, you should be hoping that @realDonaldTrump remains indifferent to the doom-casting of “analysts” on air and in print. It’s an astonishing thing, this collapse of American media two weeks into the most significant military conflict in a quarter century. Besides the ayatollahs and the IRGC, the ranks of the devastated include the reputations for accuracy, fairness and, patriotism, of a defeatist, overwhelmed-by-ideology and undermined-by-ignorance legacy media. Of course podcasters from the margins of left and right are not going to impress us with their takes because they lack depth of experience and many appear never to have read even a single book about the Iranian regime. Also remarkable is their collective short-term memory loss (35K Iranians butchered by this evil regime in January 8/9). Best to stick with “The GoodFellows,”@Commentary pod, “Call Me Back” from @DanSenor, @NRO’s The Editors, “Ask Haviv Anything” from @havivrettiggur and a few others. These folks and a few others are delivering lots of reliable content, excellent analysis that asks the difficult questions, but they all reject the absurdity that is simply anti-Trump or anti-Israel propaganda dressed up as “news.” The combined effects of TDS, anti-Bibi, anti-Israel ideology is out in the open in a way not even longstanding critics of what used to be called MSM could have imagined. It is as though the @guardian had been put in control of the American news establishment. The Strait of Hormuz presents a military challenge but it is not the “Battle of the Atlantic.” It will be solved. The Iranian regime has been crippled, humbled and while it has not collapsed, it may yet. The ability of the theocracy’s fanatics to gain nuclear weapons or to deter attacks on any future attempts to do so is already achieved. Combined with regime coercion in Venezuela and the ongoing collapse of communism and dictatorship in Cuba, the first 15 months of Donald Trump’s second term will rank as great advances for global freedom and security with the three years beginning with the fall of the Berlin Wall. That large part of American media which is pushing defeatist narratives and absurd stories will shame those publications and bylines in the way that Walter Duranty was and remains shamed by history.
