    If you think Trump was the angry one, you’ve clearly never met a Cuban American and experienced this stare.

    I opened my NYTimes app today. They’re trying, but they can’t keep up. News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage. THIS IS CRUCIAL The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Let me explain 🧵

    I live in a very liberal, very wealthy Massachusetts town, and several times a year I find myself needing to explain to friends how all the fancy Main Street businesses stay open Spoiler: it’s not from selling organic hand woven wool mittens

    Look, I get it, Dems. You think nuking USAID is dumb. You think handing government computers to Big Balls is dumb. You think blaming the plane crash on DEI is dumb. You think JD’s speech in Europe is dumb. Fine. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. Whatever. But that’s not

    “Women are our biggest strategic advantage” False You have three broken diesel subs, zero destroyers, tiny “icebreakers” and more generals than working tanks. Being next door to the United States is your only strategic advantage.

    This is the Russian Flagship #Moskva before she sank. It's impossible to fully assess the situation aboard based on one picture but marine salvage masters must make assumptions based on little information. As a ship captain and ship fire author here's what appears to be likely🧵

    I can’t share the details on how @michaelgwaltz & @SecRubio have, in just a few days, organized the greatest opposition to UN policy since the Cold War and blocked this UN Carbon Tax. I can say it was a knife fight to the end. “I’ve been in this industry for 30 years and I’ve

    Yesterday, for the first time, I turned my back on a liberal neighbor and walked away. For Charlie. I get asked daily by conservatives how I can possibly live in the most liberal town of the most liberal state. Truth is, I’ve always been fascinated by how they think. I usually

    Once in Paris I decided I was going to blow every frequent flier mile I had to take the Concorde home Ticket agent said “this is crazy, you’re going to regret this someday” so I decided against it. 20 years later I can say walking away was the wrong choice

    A very senior official in the new Trump admin who’s a history savant told me this week something that had me nodding in emphatic agreement: ’What NATO doesn’t understand is that Americans don’t really care what you do. •Underspend for years. •Refuse to let our ships dock.

    “EVERYONE In EVERY MOS… including in the air and AT SEA… must have basic proficiency in basic combat skills” WE DID IT. We got massive pushback from Naval officers who do not want to carry a sidearm or visit the range. Now the Secretary of War has ruled in our favor 🤩🤩👇

    Incredible clip. Biden’s #2 at the Pentagon, Kathleen Hicks, explains why the DoD can’t pass an audit. But now we know the real reason. If you thought USAID was bad, buckle up—@DOGE is coming to the five sided Death Star
