True but it was a much more complicated mission with many more moving parts and interfered with by the weather (a desert dust storm). It involved all branches of the service not just the Navy. Carter was hardly a “stain on the Navy” or feckless. There is a significant issue historically how Regan’s operatives were involved for political purposes with the failure of the negotiations. Carter was certainly right about oil dependence. Carter started no wars and we have now lost at least 16 service men and hundreds millions of dollars in equipment in this war of choice. But god bless our troops and the relative and the success of this mission.

@mulroyj @DI313_ That ended very differently! 8 servicemen were killed; hostages were not rescued! What an obtuse comment. It was an abject failure, as was his presidency. Iranians hate Carter for enabling the mullahs & their decades of oppression. Weak, feckless, ineffectual, stain on the Navy.

‼️🇺🇸 Straight out of a war movie. Late night, US special forces locate the second pilot and land a transport for extraction but it gets stuck. Operators are forced to hold positions under fire as three more aircraft rush in for a high-risk rescue. At the same time, a C-130 gets trapped in sand at a remote base in Iran. With no recovery possible, a Delta element destroys it on the spot. Two US aircraft gone in one mission.

But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets. Sermon on the Mount

Good day to review the Beatitudes and Luke’s woes: But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets. Luke 6:20-26, NIV

Valor runs three charter schools—all privately controlled but funded by taxpayers. Charter schools divert education funding from traditional public schools with less oversight, one reason some communities don’t want them. But Gov. Bill Lee & Republicans have made it easier for charters to open, even against the will of locally elected school boards. tennessean.com/story/news/edu…

On this Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope, renewal, and eternal life He offers us all. May your hearts be filled with joy and faith. He is risen indeed!

Never forget!

LYING MAGA GOP

Happy Easter! I won’t back down. And there’s a reason for that. On Easter, Christians celebrate our salvation: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, willingly died on the cross to carry every sin we’ve ever committed (mine included) and rose again three days later, conquering death itself. That resurrection is the ultimate proof that His perfect blood atoned for all our wrongs and opened the door to eternal life for anyone who puts their trust in Him. My eternity is handled. Because of that salvation message, I have nothing to fear. And that’s why I won’t back down. Join me! We have a city to save. (Gage and Molly on Easter in 2003.)

Thank you, Japan. Stepping up again.

Die Rettung eines abgeschossenen US-Piloten im Iran hat die USA etwa 300 Millionen $ an Ausrüstung gekostet. Beeindruckend und bewundernswert, was dem US-Militär das Leben seiner Soldaten wert ist.

In a stunning moment, Jake Tapper reads Trump’s unhinged and vulgar threat to Iran live on CNN: “Open the ****in’ strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!”

South Carolina, choose your fighter.

New poll finds almost 80% of Americans are 'Ashamed' of Trump. Do you agree?

State reps controlling funding have hurt Memphis more than Memphis itself. Difference is Memphis has real culture, Nashville feels manufactured. Put us on equal footing and Memphis runs the state. That’s exactly why they hold us back. I’m keepin it honest, no fake cap 🧢.

@masuzafi They have seen this before. This guy needs help from the VA not head of DOD,

Looks like Iran just successfully triggered Pete Hegseth into a full public meltdown right in front of his own kids. The same tough guy who smugly tells his 13-year-old son that American troops "died for you" so we don’t have to deal with nuclear Iran… now breaking down like a fragile snowflake when the real consequences stare him in the face. Pathetic. This WAR is far too sophisticated for narrow-minded, chest-thumping amateurs playing war hero with other people’s blood and their own children’s future. You don’t get to cosplay tough on TV then cry when the board gets complex. The adults in the room are watching this clown show with disgust. History won’t be kind to warmongering lightweights.

@dwayne_oxford @SenBrentTaylor @VoteMarsha Dwayne you did not watch the video. Watch the video.

@SenBrentTaylor @VoteMarsha Remember Senator Taylors assessment of the march last weekend. I told him he should wait until the investigation was complete. Watch the video.x.com/TheTNHoller/st…

@kaitlancollins Amen

An Oscar-nominated film is exposing an infuriating situation unfolding in my home-state of Alabama. "The Alabama Solution" provides a look inside the nation's deadliest prison system, told by the inmates themselves.
