.@SecPompeo blames @SenatorMenendez for all the bad press on his firing of the State Dept IG: “I don’t get my ethics guidance from a man who was criminally prosecuted.” (fails to note he was acquitted) #shotsfired
@SecPompeo @SenatorMenendez .@SenatorMenendez responds: “The fact that Secretary Pompeo is now trying diversion tactics by attempting to smear me is as predictable as it is shameful. The Secretary should focus on answering questions and getting his story straight as to why he wanted to target IG Linick."
Democratic Congressional aide on Pompeo’s attacks on Menendez: “Somebody forgot to take their hydroxychloroquine this morning.”

Syria is free. The rebels won. The people liberated themselves from tyranny. Freedom won. Russia, Iran, Hezbollah & Assad lost. Historic. The road ahead for Syria won’t be easy. But it will be better than the past. The world should celebrate Syria’s liberation & help it succeed.
Ukraine is going to win, too. Let’s hope it doesn’t take 14 years like it did for the Syrians. If we had helped the Syrians more, this would have happened sooner. Let’s not make that same mistake with Ukraine now. Dictatorships are brittle. People refuse to live on their knees.
For anyone saying this will lead to a slaughter of Christians: I interviewed the Bishop of Aleppo. He told me his community members are safe and give Syrians credit for being able to live together. He said don’t fall for the propaganda that Assad was the protector of Christians.

Exclusive: Americans, your calls and texts can be monitored by Chinese spies



By me @washingtonpostwashingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
Chinese hackers linked to Beijing’s Ministry of State Security have burrowed inside the private wiretapping and surveillance system that American telecom companies built for the exclusive use of U.S. federal law enforcement agencies - they continue to have access to the system. Millions of mobile-phone users on the networks of at least three major U.S. carriers could thus be ongoingly vulnerable to Chinese government surveillance.

Several officials told me that targets identified by the intelligence community also include senior U.S. government officials and top business leaders.

“It is much more serious and much worse than even what you all presume at this point,” Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman @SenatorWarner (D-Virginia) said. “It is one of the most serious breaches in my time on the Intelligence Committee.”

"Tower 22", the U.S. base in NE Jordan where three American troops were just killed, overlooks a Syrian refugee camp called Rukban, where 15,000 people have been living for years. It is also near the Al-Tanf Garrison, where a couple hundred U.S. troops are based.
This is a crucial node between Iraq and Syria that Iranian militias have long sought to control. There have been several drone attacks on Tanf since Oct. 7. This is a brazen escalation.
The group that will claim responsibility calls themselves the "Islamic Resistance of Iraq," but that's really a post Oct 7 umbrella group of IRGC sponsored militias. The actual attackers were likely Kateeb Hizballah with support of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujab and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq
