This is encouraging. With China, North Korea, and Iran acting the way they’ve been, we need to step up our offensive game. Giving the CIA and other members of the Intelligence Community (IC) (i.e. NSA, NGA, DIA, etc,) expanded powers to go after our adversaries like this is a good thing. After all, they’ve been doing it to us for years, even decades, and we’ve been sitting on our hands and taking it like suckers. Kudos to President Trump and his administration for not taking it anymore and being proactive in this area. Excellent!! 🙂

Pompeo warns Iran’s space program is ‘dangerous’
This is a very disturbing development. Sec. Mike Pompeo (R) is a very smart diplomat with an extensive resume including having graduated #1 in his class from West Point, a stint on active duty in the Army as an officer, a law degree from Harvard, six terms in Congress, and was the former Director of the CIA. And, that’s just for starters. His assessment of Iran’s space intentions are spot on. With that in mind, we need to take clear and decisive action to make it clear to the wacky mullahs in Tehran that we are NOT weakened by ANY means…and let them know we will not tolerate their pursuit of nuclear weapons…ever.
Separately, and just as important.. This is yet another example of why it is absolutely critical we invest now in both our civilian space (i.e. NASA), and military space programs. Indeed, President Trump’s vision for a true “Space Force” is needed now more than ever. We posted an article about just that written by a retired Air Force 3-star general. To read that, type “Space Force” into the Search field to the right and it’ll bring that article up.
Pentagon issues blunt warning to Iran: ‘We will come and we will come large’
Trump says he’s instructed Navy to ‘destroy’ any Iranian gunboats harassing US ships
This is so great! FINALLY, a President is saying enough is enough. For FAR too long, presidents of BOTH parties have allowed this crap to continue unchecked. President Trump is showing leadership and, believe me, the troops in the field (and at sea) appreciate this. They know their Commander in Chief has their back. Excellent!! 🙂

Senate Democrat Murphy acknowledges meeting with Iran’s foreign minister
What Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has done here is mind-boggling, and sinister at best. The President and the Executive Branch of government are responsible for setting and maintaining our nation’s foreign policy. It is NOT something shared with the legislative branch. Sen. Murphy knows this, despite his disingenuous comments to the contrary. To be clear… He is consciously, proactively undermining the Trump Administration’s foreign policy efforts with Iran because he disagrees with them, and he’s a Dem that doesn’t like Trump. It’s that simple. At best, Sen. Murphy is in violation of the Logan Act, and should be censured by the Senate. At worst, he is undermining our national security, and might be engaging in treasonous activities and should be criminally charged accordingly. Sen. Murphy has NO business doing what he’s doing, and has no authority to be doing it whatsoever. Yes, there ARE three co-equal branches of government, Senator. But, they each have their separate roles and responsibilities and those roles and responsibilities are clearly laid out in our Constitution, Sir. Perhaps you should read it. The conduct of foreign policy resides solely in the purview of the executive branch. Period. Sen. Murphy is a legislator, and someone needs to tell him to stay in his lane. What a self-serving, sanctimonious, sleazy tool…
Iranian student whose deportation spurred Dem outcry has family ties to IRGC, Hezbollah: DHS official
You know its an election year when someone like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) whines and grandstands about something like this. This kid has ties to Hamas and the IRGC. CBP was well within its right to deport this guy. So, kudos to them for doing their job protecting us. Shame on Lizzy for her self-righteous bs. She couldn’t care less about our safety. She just trying to play to her very small base by taking a silly pot shot at Trump over this. Typical.. For more, click on the text above.
