A real Cowboy

DeSantis is the conservative whom other Republicans pretend to be while campaigning. But turn out not to be after getting elected. He has been the nation's best governor. By far. And would be an absolutely fantastic president. I just don't know if he is electable.

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

Dave Smith has the sads that I won’t give him the audience he doesn’t have. Poor Dave. Always seething about his insufficiencies. He should really talk to someone.

The best way to have coffee..... Is to pour it down the drain. I said what I said

Let me show you how this works: It’s Friday morning. You’re in America. Coffee in hand. Half-awake. Scrolling. A headline hits you: “America/Israel bombs residential building, 20 civilians killed, including 5 children.” (These numbers are imaginary) Your stomach drops. You glance at your kid. Or think about your nieces and nephews. Now you’re not just reading anymore, you’re feeling anger, rage, disgust. By the time you get to work, the story has already settled in your mind as truth. At lunch, you bring it up. Your coworkers nod. Of course they do. Why wouldn’t they? It sounds real. Now five more people carry that same anger. They go home. They repeat it. To friends. To family. Online. Just like that, one headline becomes thousands of convictions. But here is what never made it into that headline what you did not see, what no one bothered to check: It wasn’t America. It wasn’t Israel. It was a failed missile fired by the IRGC that fell on its own people. And by the time the truth shows up, if it ever does, the damage is already done. This is what an information war looks like in real time.

My suspicion is that all over Washington people are realizing that Trump and Hegseth are totally out of control, and have led us into a chaotic situation and that it is likely to get worse, far worse, with almost 3 years remaining the results could be catastrophic.

Not naming names obviously, but shortly after Hegseth’s confirmation I was at the Fox News studios and a personality said to me, “It’s all true, every single thing written about him. We’re all shaking our heads but we can’t say anything.”
