Le Sergent-chef Florian Montorio du 17eme régiment du génie parachutiste de Montauban est tombé ce matin au sud-Liban lors d’une attaque contre la FINUL. Trois de ses frères d’armes sont blessés et ont été évacués. La Nation s’incline avec respect et adresse son soutien aux familles de nos soldats et à tous nos militaires engagés pour la paix au Liban. Tout laisse à penser que la responsabilité de cette attaque incombe au Hezbollah. La France exige des autorités libanaises qu’elles arrêtent immédiatement les coupables et prennent leurs responsabilités aux côtés de la FINUL.

Hezbollah’s killing of a French service member in southern Lebanon, only days after Israel agreed to a ceasefire, is a critical test for the Lebanese Armed Forces. Congress should not support the LAF unless it acts to disarm Hezbollah completely — and immediately.

Army Maj. Gen. Fox Conner, who planned the largest U.S. WWI offensive and later mentored legendary generals, never sought praise or recognition, but his name now graces a key building at service’s strategic epicenter. Read his story: stripes.com/branches/army/…

If the UK joined the US as the 51st state. We would be the poorest state in the entire union. Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us. I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita. We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations. We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases. The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.








30 years ago today, #Taiwan held its 1st direct presidential election, as voters bravely cast their ballots despite China's military intimidation. The will of the people guided our journey to a resilient democracy—and continues to drive our commitment to freedom today.
