“Basic journalism” involves asking “basic” follow-up questions and addressing real issues. Tucker nodded along like a dutiful little propagandist while the head of a terror state lied about killing Americans, funding proxies, and building a bomb.

Here are the fact checks that Iranian media (ie Tucker), left out 👇 Iranian President Pezeshkian claimed Netanyahu “invented the idea” that Iran seeks a nuclear bomb.

Yeah, ok.

The IAEA’s June 2025 report says Iran has denied access to inspectors since 2021 and is stockpiling enriched uranium. The agency has “lost continuity of knowledge” over key parts of Iran’s nuclear program.

Tucker’s *real* journalism might have challenged the Iranian president’s claim by asking a couple of very simple questions: If you’re not building a bomb, why are you enriching uranium to 60%—way beyond what’s needed for civilian energy? Why did Iran need a nuclear facility buried more than 200 feet beneath a mountain?

Ever wonder why we shoot off fireworks and march down Main Street on the Fourth of July? Why the Bald Eagle became America’s symbol?

These aren’t random celebrations or symbols. Each tells the story of America’s fight for freedom.

Here’s a deep dive into what they mean and why they matter. 🧵👇 Fireworks go back over 2,000 years to ancient China, where alchemists packed gunpowder into bamboo. At first, they were used to scare off evil spirits, then as early weapons of war.

By the 13th century, they spread to Europe. Kings and emperors used them to show off power.

But leave it to America to flip the script: In 1777, while we were still fighting for independence, Congress approved fireworks to mark the one-year anniversary of the Declaration.

Philadelphia lit up the sky: not for royalty, but for liberty.

We don’t light the sky for rulers.
We light it to remember that we don’t have any.

A CEO is assassinated, and now “wanted” posters are appearing across the country, targeting others simply for being successful. Someone even put up a highway sign calling for more murders. This isn’t just outrage—it’s mob mentality, and it’s tearing at the fabric of who we are as Americans.
Mob mentality thrives on envy and resentment. It feeds on the dangerous lie that tearing others down will somehow build a better world. But what’s really happening? The Left has embraced a vision of communism—where success is punished, hard work is hated, and ambition is crushed under the weight of collective resentment.

According to a recent report by S&P Global, it takes an average of nearly 29 YEARS to build a new mine in the U.S., making it the second-longest mine development time in the world.

reuters.com/markets/commod… Why does this matter? Reshoring and restoring American manufacturing will require various critical minerals as inputs to increasing production. Currently, the U.S. heavily depends on importing critical materials from countries like China.

Enjoy your Memorial Day and let us remember why we celebrate. We celebrate the lives of the heroes we have lost. Never Forget.

Brendan Looney. Did our first deployment together at SEAL Team 3. One of the best and most respected leaders on the Team. Husband, son, and brother. “Be Strong. Be accountable. Never complain.” 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.

Back in 2021, @United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby on diversity requirements: "We've committed that 50% of the classes will be women or people of color."

In 2024, United finding “loose hardware” on 737 Max planes, only because they were told to look for it.

Related? Maybe not directly. But there’s obviously a culture that is more focused on wokeness instead of safety. And a reminder: United took $10.9 BILLION in taxpayer money during COVID. They sent 50 employees to flood my office in October of 2020, terrorizing my staff and demanding YOU bail them out.

Has that resulted in good treatment of customers? Nope.

The Durham Report that dropped yesterday is a 316-page roadmap of the Democrat effort to weaponize a misinformation campaign against Donald Trump.

We now know that 1) Hillary Clinton approved and orchestrated the Russia collusion narrative, which Obama knew about and 2) Our… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Included in the report is the stunning revelation that Hillary Clinton personally approved the creation of the “Russian collusion” narrative, that Russian intelligence operatives knew she was doing this to undermine Donald Trump, and that then-President Obama and his top… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The Durham report released today is absolutely damning. It shows that key actors within the FBI ignored protocol to pursue a faux Russian collusion narrative, all for the purpose of taking down President Trump.

Some key points from the 316 page report: Durham writes: “Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the (Justice) Department and FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Oh look the guy who single-handedly destroyed the FBI’s reputation wants to talk security policy!

Let’s do this. THREAD.

First off, anyone who actually gives a damn about securing any given location, whether it’s a school or an airport or your corporate office, knows that armed guards are the first thing you spend money on. Only a fool would dispute that.

As expected, my colleagues on the left are promoting faux hysteria about the passage of the Parents Bill of Rights Act — with some going as far as claiming we’re gonna ban books.

Time to debunk these myths: Claim: Republicans want to ban books.
 
Reality: This bill does nothing to restrict curriculum decisions, which largely exist at the state and local level. It simply makes sure that school districts are transparent about reading materials used in the classroom.

Parents should have a right to know what their child is being taught in school.
 
This is common sense, and today Republicans passed the Parents Bill of Rights through the House to make sure that happens. The Parents Bill of Rights Act would enable parents to review reading materials, see school budgets, and mandate that curriculums be made public.

Critics — on the left and right, in the U.S. and Mexico — have made straw man arguments against the AUMF @michaelgwaltz and I introduced targeting the cartels, feigning hysteria about “bombing” Mexico. No one is arguing we do that.

Here’s what the cartel AUMF means in practice: First off, an AUMF doesn’t mean a unilateral air strike in Mexico tomorrow. It gives the U.S. President the bare minimum legal authority to act with the force of the military against deadly drug cartels in Mexico.

If it weren’t for the Biden Administration’s backwards energy policies, the U.S. would be producing 2-3 million more barrels of oil per day – an added total of $100 billion in our GDP per year. What's the cause? The extreme measures this admin has implemented – canceled pipelines, reduced drilling on public lands, new taxes on the oil & gas industry, and ridiculous environmental standards that raise the cost of operating.

Everyone wants answers on the objects flying over the United States. Today Members of Congress finally got more info from senior military officials.

Here’s what we found out: We still don’t know what these other 3 objects were. We’re calling them unidentified aerial phenomenons (UAPs).

We knew exactly what the China spy balloon was, and immediate steps were taken to stop its data from being sent to China.

Today I voted against the $1.7 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill.

Why? Not because we didn’t have time to read it. That’s a lame excuse. We have methods to digest large bills, and most of the stuff in these bills is expected. Staff within each office and within committees are pouring over the changes to give members a clear picture of what’s in it.

Pretty quickly, one can assess whether there’s too many negative aspects of a bill to vote yes. That’s a threshold we consider for every vote.

The Conservative Guide to the Culture Wars (in no particular order):

1. America is worthy of our love and patriotism. 

2. Victor mentality is better than a victim mentality. 

3. Free speech is absolute. “Hate speech” is not an objective term.

THREAD 4. It doesn’t matter what kind of gun you restrict, criminals still hurt people. Let us protect ourselves.

5. You get to keep wealth you create & pass it to your kids.

6. The govt has no right to shut down your business or invade your home without due process, even in pandemics
