The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I'm committed to helping President Trump get it done. I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act. John Cornyn is a coward who has refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill. Now, Fake News reporters and the establishment are trying to destroy me with misinformation. The truth is clear: No one has been more loyal to Donald Trump than me—fighting the stolen 2020 election, being in Mar-a-Lago when he announced his 2024 campaign, and standing with him in NY in the face of lawfare. For the good of our country and for the good of passing President Trump's agenda, I am determined to help him get this done.

The Cadets from Old Dominion University who stopped an active shooter, received 8 Meritorious Service Medals. Two of them received Purple Hearts…from the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Secretary of the Army. Absolutely amazing and well deserved.

As someone who was once responsible for all U.S. military logistics in the southern half of Afghanistan, I can assure everyone that the U.S. military has always tried to give the troops an occasional nice meal, even when serving on a remote, medieval style outpost and getting attacked every night from across the Pakistani border. It is a morale booster, without any exaggeration. This is not even remotely a new thing. We've always done this in the modern era. Anybody trying to make an issue of this is a subtard moron who not only does not know how things work, but has also established themselves as haters of our fighting men and women.

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

The Air Force has been trying to retire the A-10 Warthog for over a decade, and Congress keeps telling them no. You would think after the tenth rejection they would take the hint, but apparently the Pentagon brass has the reading comprehension of a stop sign at a NASCAR event. Let me explain this in terms even an Air Force procurement officer can understand. The A-10 was not built and then given a gun. The GAU-8/A Avenger, a 30mm seven-barrel rotary cannon that fires 3,900 rounds per minute, was designed FIRST, and then they built an entire aircraft around it. The recoil alone produces roughly 10,000 pounds of force, nearly matching the thrust of one of its own engines. When those depleted uranium rounds hit a tank, the penetrator SELF-SHARPENS on impact, punches through armor, and ignites everything inside. During the Gulf War, T-72 turrets were blown completely off their hulls. Captain Eric Salomonson and Lieutenant John Marx destroyed 23 Iraqi tanks IN A SINGLE DAY during Desert Storm. Twenty-three. The F-35 carries 182 cannon rounds. The A-10 carries 1,174. Do the math. Actually, let me do it for you since the Air Force clearly cannot. In 2003, two A-10 pilots, callsigns Donk and Billy Bob, dove into a sandstorm near Baghdad under heavy anti-aircraft fire to save Task Force 2-69 pinned at the Muthanna Bridge. Donk's targeting computer failed. Billy Bob took lead and destroyed multiple T-72s. A shoulder-fired missile narrowly missed. They stayed in the fight for 40 MINUTES. Both earned the Silver Star. An F-35 would have dropped one bomb from 30,000 feet and gone home for the day. Captain Kim Campbell took anti-aircraft fire over Baghdad, lost ALL hydraulic systems, and flew her A-10 home using MANUAL REVERSION. She landed safely. Tell me what other aircraft in our inventory survives that. I will wait. The F-35 program has cost over $1.7 TRILLION in lifetime costs. Building 200 new A-10s with modernized avionics would cost approximately $6 billion. That is less than the COST OVERRUN on a single major acquisition program. The A-10 does not need pristine runways, climate-controlled hangars, or a team of PhDs to change a tire. It needs fuel, ammunition, and a reasonably flat stretch of dirt. Asking an F-35 to do close air support is like asking a Formula 1 car to plow a field. Sure, it can technically drive through dirt, but it was not designed for it, it will not do it well, and the cost is absolutely absurd. You want to know who does not care about stealth coatings and radar cross-sections? The soldier pinned behind a wall with rounds cracking over his head screaming into a radio for air support. He wants an aircraft that will show up in MINUTES, stay overhead for the DURATION of the fight, put 30mm rounds exactly where they need to go, take hits without falling out of the sky, and come back for another pass. That aircraft is, was, and always will be the A-10. Speaking of actually supporting our troops instead of just SAYING we support them, maybe while we are discussing $6 billion for new Warthogs, Congress could find the $10 billion over ten years to pass the Major Richard Star Act (S.Amdt.4056) and stop STEALING retirement pay from 50,000+ combat-wounded veterans who were medically retired because they got blown up serving this country. We can spend $1.7 trillion on an aircraft that melts in the rain, but we cannot pay the men and women who bled for this nation what they were promised? The wheel is spinning but the hamster died years ago. Build more Warthogs. Same airframe. Same gun. Same titanium bathtub. Same twin engines. New computers. The troops on the ground are counting on it. BRRRRRT. But what do I know, I am only a medically retired Army combat medic who called in A-10 support in Iraq and can personally testify there is no sweeter sound on a battlefield than that cannon.
