@MattWalshBlog Spot on Matt.

I in fact do not “trust the plan,” especially when the exact plan is never coherently articulated. The idea that we should reserve criticism of our elected leaders on the vague assumption that there must be some sort of “plan” that we mere mortals don’t understand is just embarrassing. How did “trusting the plan” work during COVID? How has it ever worked?

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

@PressSec Joe is right.

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.

@david_parker David, are ideas to evaluated based on their own merit, or based on who says them?

I was homeschooled, I have been an advisor in PMO and to three Ministers of the Crown, I have run dozens of political campaigns, I started an org that forced a Premier to resign, and businesses that have created millions of wealth for investors. I don’t care what you think.

@CoryBMorgan Stay in Canada.

I have a fairly independence-leaning following. Let's put this to a poll Heading to a referendum. What is your vision for Alberta? Vote and repost.

@DuaneBratt @MichaelSolberg @jkenney Strange times!

@MichaelSolberg @jkenney +1. And that was not always the case.

I find myself retweeting the chronic sanity and pragmatism of @jkenney seemingly every day. Anyone else? 🖐️🙋

@boehmerB Who knows.

Hello Nagwan, 1. Why are comments off on your post? Conversations are a cornerstone of democracies. 2. The UCP is correct in respecting the right of Albertans to voice their opinion. What's wrong with that? 3. Isn't shutting down a peaceful democratic movement totalitarian?

@brianlilley Exactly.

Another day, another threat. More chaos. Are Trump and Carney working together to ensure a Liberal majority if we have a spring election?

@david_parker Forgiven!

I received 41,000 engagements in the last 24 hours. That is an impossible number to keep up with. If I have not replied to you, I am sorry. This is nuts.

@LilaGraceRose @JDVance @SLOTUS Congratulations! Interesting how the North American culture refers to the couple as pregnant. Possibly a more accurate description is that the mother is pregnant, and the couple is expecting.

BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, share they’re pregnant with their 4th sweet baby. Congratulations, @JDVance @SLOTUS! So happy for you both. Praying for a healthy mama and baby and safe delivery!

@david_parker @PierrePoilievre David, there are proper ways of doing things.

@PierrePoilievre You are not very bright. Trump is trying to protect the arctic.

It is unacceptable for the U.S. to seize the territory of a sovereign country, including by threatening tariffs on other NATO countries. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and we support its territorial integrity. Conservatives support NATO and Canada’s obligations as a NATO member. Canada should strengthen the NATO alliance and rebuild our own forces in the Arctic to combat threats also coming from China and Russia and to protect our seas, skies and soil.

@DrFrankTurek It certainly changes us.

Does prayer change things?

@rebeccakschulz Thank you for your service Rebecca.

Serving Albertans and the people of Calgary-Shaw has been the honour of a lifetime. I am proud of our team, the leadership of our Premier Danielle Smith, and our government. See my full statement below.

@miketzian @peteremcc Where did the feds get the $'s from?

@peteremcc They're not alberta dollars, they're federal dollars.

Quebec is basically cheating the system. They're using a loophole to transfer $5,000 per Albertan per year to Quebec. And they've been allowed to get away with it for decades for the simple reason that there are more votes in Quebec than there are in Alberta.

@peteremcc Looking better than your previous tally!

Calgary unofficial ward results: 1: TYERS (R) 2: WYNESS (C) 3: YULE (L) 4: KELLY (L) 5: DHALIWAL (L) 6: PANTAZOPOULOS (C) 7: ATKINSON (L) 8: SCHMIDT (L) 9: CLARK (L) 10: CHABOT (R) 11: WARD (R) 12: JAMIESON (R) 13: MCLEAN (R) 14: JOHNSTON (R) L=Left = 6 C=Centre = 2 R=Right = 6

@truckdriverpleb @wyatt_claypool @OneBC_Caucus Instead of crossing the floor, why don't they just fire their leader?

@wyatt_claypool @OneBC_Caucus Conservative Party of BC MLA's should all cross the floor and join Dallas Brodie's party Avoid a pointless leadership race. She is a real Conservative. Be courageous and follow her lead. Rustad's career is cooked. Jump ship now and you'll be rewarded for your bravery

Billboard Chris is speaking in the BC legislature after being invited by @OneBC_Caucus. The BC Conservative have banned their staff and MLAs from showing up. Despite not being able to come to the event many have walked up to me and said they wished they could be there.

@GarvielStudio @Concern70732755 Actions do have consequences. As the aim is the betterment of society, they have to be sat down and have that lengthy, in-depth conversation. Hopefully they are enlightened, learn and change. If not, then consequences can follow as appropriate.

@SakrAssaad @Concern70732755 That’s the issue… they do not want to have the discussion. Gleefully celebrating an assassination is a blatant red flag that something is seriously wrong with such a person. Actions have consequences. Thoughts?

So many should learn this lesson !
