Military parade observations: 1. Every single soldier looks like he’d rather be storming Omaha Beach — right now. 2. Trump may have wanted a China/ Russia-esque display of strength, but this feels poorly choreographed — and ironically — makes the US army look strangely feeble.

❗️The Iranian terrorist regime launched a long-range missile for the first time since the start of Operation Roaring Lion that could reach a distance of ~4,000 km. During Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, the IDF revealed that the Iranian regime has intentions to develop missiles with a range of 4,000 km, which pose a danger to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. The Iranian regime denied this. We have been saying it: The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat. Now, with missiles that can reach London, Paris or Berlin. The Iranian terror regime has carried out attacks against 12 countries in the region and is developing a capability that poses a much broader threat.

It's tiresome to have to keep saying that he shames his office, but he shames his office.

People of Iran, We are waging a historic war for liberty. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to remove the Ayatollah regime and gain your freedom. Together with the United States, we are hitting the Tyrants of Teheran harder than ever.

Wow. Must watch. Heckler shouts Free Palestine during German Chancellor Merz speech. He confidently responds with “WE STAND WITH ISRAEL” followed by powerful words. Crowd erupts in applause! He knows that “Free Palestine” is the new “Heil Hitler”

Illusions of grandeur, the shouting of a paper tiger or simply shades of Baghdad Bob? #IranWar

Where were these imbeciles when the regime in Tehran killed tens of thousands of its own people or plotted and funded terrorist attacks all over the globe?

.@EmmanuelMacron and I have established a nuclear steering group in which we coordinate on deterrence issues. We intend to take concrete steps before the end of this year, including conventional German participation in French nuclear exercises.

People really need to be watching this. He’s losing his mind.

Could also be Germany 1930s, Soviet Union 1950s. Could be many places, but shouldn't be America.

@BBCSteveR @BBCBenTavener @BBCPanorama A remarkable watch — Thanks, Steve!

There is a metaphor here about the state of the union for sure.

Tony Romo, aka Captain Obvious, with more riveting insight during the Pats vs Broncos game. HERE WE GO, JIM!!

Zum „Patriotismus“ der AfD gehört neben der anhaltenden Putin-Liebe auch peinliches Schweigen, wenn Donald Trump behauptet, andere NATO-Partner hätten in Afghanistan die Front gemieden. Zur Erinnerung: 62 deutsche Soldaten sind dort gefallen.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Vance, Rubio, or Trump himself — IF there are free and fair elections, Newsom will take them all to the cleaners in 2028 and become president.
