Who are the heroes in your life? Today, on this Memorial Day, my family visited a local cemetery to honor some of the soldiers and sailors who gave their lives for our country. Here is the grave of an unknown Civil War soldier from Pennsylvania whose journey ended hundreds of miles from home. May he rest in peace!

I can’t equate what Iran has done to what the Japanese did to Pearl Harbor (my dad was a WWII vet, so I am well aware of what it was), but imagine if we had retaliated for Pearl just by lobbing a few shells into Tokyo and calling it a day, until finally doing something substantial in 1988. That’s not restraint; that’s weakness.

@data_republican Exactly! They have been asking for it for 47 years. And we really need to finish the job now and stop kicking the can down the road waiting for someone else to do it. The victims of the Islamic Republic, including the long-suffering people of Iran, deserve better.

I asked Grok to list the major attacks on the U.S. by Iran and Hezbollah over the last 47 years. Now I'm wondering why it took our leaders so long to do anything significant beyond sanctions and limited responses. When all the Marines were killed in 1983 while sleeping in their barracks, our country basically did nothing to retaliate, and in 1984 we withdrew all troops from Lebanon... that's basically a retreat imo. 1979: US Embassy hostage crisis (52 Americans held 444 days) 1983: Beirut bombings — 17 killed at Embassy + 241 Marines (Iran-backed Hezbollah) 1996: Khobar Towers bombing — 19 US airmen killed 2003–2011: Iraq — 600+ US troops killed via Iranian EFPs & militias 2020: Missile strikes on US bases in Iraq (100+ injured) 2023–2024: 180+ proxy attacks on US forces (3 killed in Jordan) For so much of this, I was young, unengaged, and stupid. So glad President Trump is doing what he is doing now!

@mitchellvii Fingers crossed, but I the Islamic Republic is even less trustworthy than the Soviets were.

It's interesting that I've been saying for the past month that in the end it will come down to seizing Kharg Island to bring these regime leaders around. And that may be exactly what happened. We'll see. Hopeful.

@Marlayna29 My grandfather was born in the 1890s. I remember him saying goodbye to me as he left our house when I was five. He was killed in a traffic accident 15 minutes later.

@elsathora You want a smaller city or town in the Midwest or the heart of the South. Stay away from the coasts. Miami will you give you a great Cuban experience at best.

@mitchellvii I hope you’re right. Trump keeps kicking the can down the road. He needs to end this once and for all. Don’t make it Vance’s or Rubio’s problem to solve later.

I'm thinking Iranian leadership thinks Trump won't take Kharg Island. I think they're wrong. What do you think?

I have a strong suspicion that we’re going to take Kharg Island very soon. I’ve been flying around this site for decades. It is THE heart and soul of Iran. If we take it, it’s over. Problem is, it will take boots on the ground. Do you support the US seizing the island? Or should we wait?

California is the canary in the coal mine. It’s the end product of unchecked progressivism and the left’s model for the rest of America. Limitless immigration, rigged elections, and powerless citizens. They’ll burn down your fuckin house while they vacation in Africa and demonize and ruin you for even trying to complain about it. They’ll lock you away you in your apartment while they dine at the nation’s finest restaurant. And you’ll be powerless to vote them out. They’ll bilk taxpayers for billions on a railway that never gets built. They get richer, of course, and make it all but impossible for you to drive anywhere. For the left up is down, and dystopia is paradise. Hell is, quite literally, Heaven. Realize this is all our destinies should we fail to guarantee fair elections. They’ve already told us what they’re going to do if they regain power. They are showing us in California.

One thing is for sure. When Democrats are counting votes, crazy, statistically impossible things are possible. Joe Biden can lose 18 out of 19 bellwether counties. He can lose Iowa, Ohio, and Florida. He can lose massive House seats and still get the most votes in presidential history. It's MAGIC.

In 1970, Tom Seaver set an MLB record by striking out 10 consecutive batters against the Padres. His record has been matched twice this decade but I still give Seaver the advantage because it was the LAST 10 batters of the game. Let’s see some starting pitcher today do that.

@mitchellvii In an honest election, you’re definitely right. It’s the late-night ballot dumps that worry me.
