JD Vance in September 2025: "If you celebrate Charlie Kirk's death, you should not be protected from being fired for being a disgusting person."

Hey @JDVance, you said we should "call out" people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death. Surely you will call out this Vietnam draft dodger who celebrated the death of a Marine veteran who earned a Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam.

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the BRONZE STAR MEDAL to SECOND LIEUTENANT ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS RESERVE for service as set forth in the following CITATION: "For heroic achievement in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam while serving as a Platoon Commander with Company H, Second Battalion, Fourth Marines, Third Marine Division. On 11 December 1968, Second Lieutenant Mueller's platoon was the lead element in a company size combat patrol being conducted in the Mutter's Ridge area of Quang Tri Province when the Marines came under a heavy volume of small arms, automatic weapons, and grenade launcher fire from a North Vietnamese Army company and sustained numerous casualties. Quickly establishing a defensive perimeter, Second Lieutenant Mueller fearlessly moved from one position to another, directing the accurate counterfire of his men and shouting words of encouragement to them. With complete disregard for his own safety, he then skillfully supervised the evacuarion of casualties from the hazardous area and, on one occasion, personally led a fire team across the fire-swept terrain to recover a mortally wounded Marine who had fallen in a position forward of the friendly. lines. Second Lieutenant Mueller's courage, aggressive initiative and unwavering devotion to duty at great personal risk were instrumental in the defeat of the enemy force and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service."

JD Vance in 2025: “I think a lot of European nations were right about our invasion of Iraq. And frankly, if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq.” Interesting 🤔

That is exactly why it now sees this war as the only way to win security and economic relief it would not get through diplomacy. It is not trying to survive this war but arrive at a new post-war order.

I really can't see how Orban, his cronies and his Russian allies can afford to let him lose next month's election. I don't know what form their attempted coup will take, but I believe they'll try

Nobody could have predicted this

SCOOP: Billionaire CEO Toby Neugebauer became “loud and belligerent” during a confrontation w/ Commerce Sec’y Howard Lutnick about a data center project at an event on Tues., leading Lutnick’s security to separate the men, 3 sources told me and @zcolman. politico.com/news/2026/03/2…

Pete Hegseth: “The families of our fallen soldiers told me to finish the job.” Families of fallen soldiers: “No, we didn’t.”

How do you ‘sane’ wash this? Seriously? How? There is nothing Joe Biden ever said - literally nothing - as dishonest, deluded, ridiculous, embarrassing, as this.

New: SecDef Pete Hegseth has repeatedly claimed in briefings that that day would bring the most strikes on Iran yet, indicating a campaign constantly increasing in intensity and number of targets struck. The data, however, shows the volume of strikes have ebbed and flowed, potentially due to logistical things like maintenance needs and as the military works to confirm new targets. cnn.com/2026/03/20/pol…

Trump promised a “golden age.” He just forgot to mention the collapse part.

If we don't use it then why beg other countries to help open it? If we don't need it, then why send 2,500 troops to open it? If we don't use it then why is it drastically affecting our gas prices at home?
