My take on the Iran situation:
(1/3) Intentional or not, the US is in a stronger position than before, having simultaneously shown a willingness to strike and a willingness to show restraint. All while avoiding an escalation.
Not perfectly executed but an acceptable result.

(2/3) The Iranians are now in a weaker position than before, with less credibility. Ball is in their court, and we are far more justified in taking serious action if they strike again.
(3/3) Lots of ways to analyze these events, & I hope Congress does so objectively & with the following in mind:
1. Iran is not the victim. They caused this.
2. Our President has the country’s best interest in mind.
3. Military strikes are last resort but never off the table.

If you can’t defend your ideas with your own free speech, then it may be an indication that your ideas weren’t very good to begin with. Shutting down others is intellectual laziness.

We must stand, as a nation, for free speech. The arbitrary and standard-less bans on social media are alarming & dangerous, FAR more dangerous than most speech they might be banning. When people feel they cannot be heard in a free society, we are no longer a democracy.
The only truly dangerous speech is the kind that directly calls for violence. That is the standard and always has been. It works. It is objective.
The banning of free speech is the first mark of fascism. All of the “anti-fascists” out there should know this.

Pat Feeks. One of the best JTACs out there. Best story teller I ever met (those who knew him will understand!). Loyal friend, husband, brother, and son. He always showed up when you asked him to.
Want to understand why we can’t fix the border crisis? Let’s break down the Congressional Dems’ strategy:
Step 1: Ridicule regular Americans’ concerns with border security, & conflate illegal immigration with legal immigration.
Step 1: Ridicule regular Americans’ concerns with border security, & conflate illegal immigration with legal immigration.
Step 2: Propose DACA amnesty without addressing illegal immigration (knowing GOP can’t support a proposal that doesn’t address the root cause of the problem).
Step 3: Refuse compromise with GOP on border security, asylum law reform, and DACA fix.
We reached a new low in deceitful politics today.
The lies about protection for pre-existing conditions continue.
This was one of the most shameful and dishonest bills passed in the House so far.

Bill is called “Protection for Pre-existing Conditions Act” but it has NOTHING to do with pre-existing conditions.
It is a bill that limits states’ ability to innovate with more cost-effective solutions.
Dems labeled it that way to mislead voters.
Shameful.

States that have successfully innovated under current law include Alaska, Maryland, Oregon, Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New Jersey.
They have saved money on premiums AND protected pre-existing conditions.
Dems are against that, AND lying about it.
