@RealSpitfire They sure as hell better, but sadly, I won’t hold my breath. We shall see.

Between Newsom paying $128 million for iPads for death row inmates and now Bass wanting to pay for free dentures for homeless people, with tax payer monies…..I wonder if Californians will finally vote for change?

@BuzzPatterson @CliveAitch AMERICA FIRST!!! Unabashedly! Unapologetically! Unwavering! Peace through STRENGTH, and a willingness and ABILITY to back it up! God Bless President Trump and may God CONTINUE to bless America!

WE’RE BACK! Wheels down in Beijing. Full military honors, kids waving American flags, the red carpet rolled out like they mean it. This isn’t the weak-kneed, apologetic shuffle we saw in years past. No, this is a President who walks in as the leader of the strongest nation on Earth, backed by a Cabinet that actually knows how to project power. Secretary Rubio at State, Hegseth at Defense, and the rest of this battle-tested team — they’re not there for photo-ops. They’re there to deliver for America. Trade, fentanyl, Taiwan, tech theft — Trump’s negotiating from strength, not begging from weakness. I carried the nuclear football for a President who treated the military like an afterthought. I’ve seen the difference up close. This? This is what leadership looks like. Respect earned, not demanded. America First in action on the world stage. President Trump is making the world remember who we are again. And the contrast has never been clearer. God bless this President and this Dream Team Cabinet! I’ve never been prouder! 🇺🇸

They Expect You to Be the Next Victim Just a reminder that October 7th was over two years ago, and not only did the press downplay the massive atrocities committed against women and children, but governments including our own purposely buried critical facts from the public. People were not told that Osama bin Laden’s own sons were involved in the planning for this massive coordinated attack, or that it was not just Hamas on the ground. Terrorists tied to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and yes, even the Taliban of all things, were all there, too. The terrorists have evolved and we can’t even get the truth out to the public regarding this convergence. I like to ask people, why do you think so many of the attackers during October 7th were on hooked Captagon? Because they got hooked on it sitting around in Syria waiting for the attacks to kick off. A simple fact no one seems to understand. When you are lied to about the enemy, a large portion of the country is left mentally and physically unprepared. October 7th is not viewed by these terrorist groups as an isolated event. It was treated as a dress rehearsal for their upcoming attacks against the U.S. homeland. That is not speculation, it is what Al-Qaeda senior trainers told terrorists while they were cross-training in Afghanistan for both October 7th and the U.S. homeland plot. If your math is good you are realizing some of these terrorists have been on U.S. soil since 2023. They think about the attack they are going to carry out every single second of every day. They walk by you on the street and the supermarket and fantasy about the harm coming to you. Our government can stick its head in the sand all it wants and continue to make a mockery out of the counterterrorism fight, but refusing to educate yourself on the tactics used by the more than 8,000 terrorists involved in the October 7th attack does not just put you at a disadvantage, it puts the people you love at risk too. Do not look away, especially when that is exactly what the terrorists and the useful idiots aiding and abetting them want. They expect you to stay distracted, silent, fearful, and willing to become the next victim. Time to say: HELL NO!

It’s a bit alarming that all I tend to see in the federal and civilian job market around our great nation is a majority of “managers” and an absolute abysmal number of “leaders.” This is why so many things are rattling apart at the foundations, everywhere we look. We’ve lost sight of what it MEANS to be a leader (leadership.) Metrics are important, dare I say even essential. But if you are driving EVERYTHING strictly based on metrics, you are overlooking a wide swath of important facets of success. My humble two cents.

@BuzzPatterson LEADERSHIP all day long!

REAL LEADERSHIP VS. BUREAUCRATIC MANAGEMENT: WHAT TRUMP JUST SHOWED IRAN (& THE WORLD). As a retired USAF Lt Col who carried the nuclear football for President Clinton in the White House, I've seen both up close. Sometimes painfully. Leadership isn't about managing decline or kicking the can. It's about vision, courage, and decisive action that restores deterrence and protects America. President Trump just proved the difference again with Operation Epic Fury. In weeks—not years—U.S. forces under his command destroyed Iran's navy (dozens of vessels gone), crippled their air force and air defenses, smashed missile/drone capabilities, and took out key leadership targets. The Strait of Hormuz is reopening. A fragile ceasefire is only holding because Iran knows the alternative is total dominance. This isn't endless war. This is “Peace Through Strength.”Adversaries respect strength; they exploit weakness. Here's the difference between Leadership and Management: - Leaders set the vision and inspire. They look over the horizon and say, This is where we're going—and why it matters for America. They take calculated risks, back their warriors, and accept accountability. Trump saw the Iranian threat—nuclear ambitions, proxies attacking our allies, “Death to America” chants—and acted. He didn't manage the status quo; he changed it. - Managers focus on process, consensus, and maintaining the system. They worry about optics, endless meetings, and “strategic patience” while our enemies build capabilities. We've lived that under past administrations: hesitation, reduced readiness, emboldened regimes, and American lives put at greater risk. Management keeps the lights on. Leadership turns the lights back on for freedom. Trump didn't ask permission from the UN or wait for the “international community.” He led. He gave clear objectives to the greatest military on earth, and they delivered overwhelming results. That's what real Commanders-in-Chief do. Our military isn't a social experiment or a jobs program—it's the tip of the spear for American exceptionalism. When led properly, there is no equal. The left will cry “warmonger.” History will call it strength. America First means never again apologizing for winning. What do you think, folks? Leadership or management—which does America need in 2026 and beyond?
