NATO is dead. There's no use in prolonging the inevitable. Europe has shown us their true colors this month. They are not our ally, then they cannot be trusted or relied on when we need them. It's time to cut the umbilical cord.

Can we please stop all NATO funding and support for every nation refusing to allow the U.S. to use bases and airspace for Epic Fury? Better yet, get us out of NATO altogether.

The US is considering cutting all defense deals with the UK and France.

Fucking Finally. The Lion of Mar-a-Lago has roared with that signature, unfiltered lethality, and the message slices through the European delusion like a Tomahawk through a command bunker: the age of American subsidy for your parasitic cowardice is fucking over. To the sniveling, jet-fuel-starved cock-suckers of the United Kingdom and its spineless continental cohorts...listen the fuck up. For eighty years we have bled treasure, blood, and industrial supremacy to underwrite your decadent existence. From the Marshall Plan’s reconstruction of your war-ravaged empires to the carrier battle groups that have patrolled the Persian Gulf since the Tanker War of the 1980s, America has been your unpaid mercenary, your nuclear umbrella, your global logistics backbone. NATO? Nothing more than the North American Tribute Organization...where the United States shoulders over sixty-five percent of the alliance’s actual spending while your militaries have atrophied into hollow parade-ground husks, underfunded, undermanned, and equipped with yesterday’s gear because you chose cradle-to-grave welfare states and green virtue-signaling over steel and resolve. Geopolitically, the Strait of Hormuz is no academic footnote: it is the jugular vein of the world economy, funneling twenty-one percent of global petroleum liquids...nineteen million barrels a day...through a narrow chokepoint that asymmetric Iranian tactics...mines, anti-ship missiles, speedboat swarms...were designed to threaten precisely because they knew direct confrontation with American naval power was suicide. We and our Israeli partners have done the hard kinetic work...the precision decapitation of their leadership structure. The heavy lifting is finished. Now these same European freeloaders, who lacked the spine to commit forces when it mattered, dare complain about disrupted sea lanes? Decades of Pax Americana have bred in you a terminal strategic infantilism: a learned helplessness wrapped in smug moral superiority. You lecture the world on the “rules-based order” while outsourcing your survival to American sons and daughters. History is merciless on this point...from the Suez Crisis of 1956, when your imperial twilight exposed the limits of European power projection without U.S. backing, to the present. Your elites are psychologically castrated by comfort; your populations softened by entitlement. You forgot that freedom of navigation is not a birthright...it is enforced by gun, steel, and the will to use them. President Trump’s directive is surgical in its venomous precision: Number One, buy the fucking fuel from us...we have plenty. Number Two, grow some long-overdue balls, reconstitute what remains of your navies, sail into the Strait, and TAKE IT. No more American taxpayers dying to keep your fighters in the sky and your economies from freezing in the dark while you backstab and virtue-signal. The parasite has fed on the host long enough. The era of the United States as Europe’s security guard, banker, and scapegoat is closed. Fight for your own oil or learn to live without it. Adapt or wither. The choice is yours, but the protection racket is finished. Grow a fucking spine or don't. We don't give a fuck anymore. 💀🗡️⚖️

1776: We declared freedom. 250 years later, no nation comes close. 🇺🇸🦅

NCAA tournament basketball is so much better of a product than NBA basketball is, it’s not even close.

The bromance with Japan will continue until morale improves.

God Bless our military heroes! 🇺🇸

The samurai & the cowboy are natural allies. And I'm tired of pretending like we're not.

All this Japan love is warming my heart.

Michael Jordan takes his "competitive gene" off the court and onto the @NASCAR track as co-owner of @23XIRacing. @GayleKing sits down with the basketball legend to talk about his passion for winning, his legal fight to change the sport, and how he channels his drive into new challenges. cbsn.ws/4bU5RAX

Michael Jordan was asked if he still misses basketball: “100%. It’s not just a tiny bit, it’s a huge piece. I’ve compensated that feeling through NASCAR. That urge to dream that I wish I could still pickup a basketball, I would love to do that. Believe me. My competitive juices, yeah I would definitely love to do that.” (Via @CBSMornings)

Jake Mangum’s approach is exactly what the Pirates needed. Dude will fight and scrap to put the ball in play and get base knocks. This is why I think he should be starting at least 4 games a week, regardless of split.

🚨 WOW! President Trump just posted this letter from Franklin Graham telling Trump that the only way to Heaven is "through the shed blood of Jesus Christ" 🙏🏻 This comes after Trump previously questioned whether he'd make it there "This week you commented to the media that you might not be heaven bound. Maybe you responded in jest, but it is an important issue to know for certain that your soul is secure and will spend eternity in the presence of God. The only One who can save us from Hell is Jesus Christ. You can’t save yourself; I can’t save myself. Good works, prominence, success—none of these get us to Heaven. The only way to Heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. God requires us to turn from our sins and, by faith, believe in our heart that Jesus came to earth, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and God raised Him to life on the third day. If you accept that by faith and invite Him to come into your heart, you ARE heaven bound, I promise you. The Bible says, “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9)." 🙏🏻🇺🇸

He should be starting for the Buccos. They need to try anything and everything to put a winning product on the field.
