In 2007, when Chuck Norris visited Marines in Western Iraq, he demanded to get away from large bases and instead visit the small FOBs and COPs. MNF-W said it would be too dangerous, but Norris insisted and in the end, got his way. I'm forever grateful for the example he set, and this awesome choke hold.

Preach. And who is covering the upper levels? This is what happens when everyone in an army thinks they are raiding a single point in a permissive urban environment or watch too many movies involving SWAT tactics
I wholeheartedly agree with the point about training in real urban terrain. We absolutely should. But... WTF is going on with an 8x soldier stack in the middle of the street & the double conga-line behind an open architecture vehicle!?!? This is how you lose a whole section in seconds.

A stomach-twisting and tragic reminder…this ideology will hijack any political cause to further its disgusting mission. Today it’s education funding. Yesterday it was migration. Tomorrow it will be healthcare. These commie protestors in France lionize a child murderer. This is who they are. Never surrender.
Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates. She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range. The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France.

Meet the deep state at the IRS: Erika Nijenhuis is Senior Counsel in Treasury’s Office of Tax Policy. She has not only maxed out to Joe Biden, she has given over $200,000 to Democrats. And Kevin Salinger is acting Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy and acting IRS Chief Counsel. He is an Obama donor. These are the people who are responsible for the tax policy under Donald Trump. That makes no sense. Democrats have a LONG history of weaponizing the IRS against Republicans. Why are Democrats who support a left wing agenda still in positions of power and influence at the IRS of all places?

If you watch this video you see the Washington Post journalists and a know violence provocateur. 200 Palestinians attacked the settlement with slingshots and fireworks. The WP journalists was there from the beginning with the Palestinians. It's organized and coordinated. Stop believing otherwise.
Hamas affiliated media just destroyed the fake narrative @the_andrey_x and @infinite_jaz spread They took pride that the incident started when 200 Palestinians committed an organized attack with slingshots and fireworks against an Israeli post under the cover of "olive harvesting" with the protection of foreign journalists They were later repelled by 40 Israelis.

Red-Green Alliance in full effect in France. Internationally funded violent protests of radical leftists/marxists and Islamists/political Islam movements working together. Wake up call?
France is in chaos again. City Hall in Marseille has been stormed as rioters chant “we're going to take the Bastille” Still think this is over “school conditions”? It’s a third-world insurrection by an ideology that wants to conquer and destroy.

President Trump should consider Katie Pavlich, Ben Ferguson, and Scott Jennings to be the next White House press secretary.

An entire generation of spoiled brats who’ve never built anything, stand on the crumbling empire they don’t deserve, built by great and courageous men who are now judged through the moral lens of the softest dorks living in the easiest times. Oy vey.

This woman, effectively arguing that only rich people should have children, runs an organization called “Abortion Every Day”
The decision to carry and raise a child can shape every part of a person’s financial life. @JessicaValenti joins Vox’s @AsteadWH to explain why abortion belongs in Democrats’ affordability message and what the party misses when it treats reproductive rights as a social issue.

If the San Fransico 49ers want to go back to being a football team, Colin Kaepernick has to go, our columnist writes. "Kaepernick is too combustible; his takes too turbulent to be paired with George Kittle."
From @TheAthletic: If the Indiana Fever ever wants to go back to being a basketball team, Sophie Cunningham has to go, our columnist writes. "Cunningham is too combustible, her takes too turbulent to be paired with Caitlin Clark."  nyti.ms/4eiBPJ0

Nine premature babies were abused in the Henrico Doctors’ Hospital NICU. Babies suffered broken arms, broken legs and broken ribs. The nurse responsible ultimately faced 20 criminal charges. Shannon Taylor negotiated a plea deal reducing the charges and capping jail time to just 3 years. That works out to four months for each baby she abused. That isn’t tough on crime. It’s a disgrace.

This is insane
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Two United Airlines pilots deadheading on a flight operated by Ibrahim Mossallam after his return from a leave of absence reportedly gave up their first-class seats and spent the entire flight in the cockpit instead. Why? According to sources familiar with the incident, they did not trust him and wanted to keep a close eye on him throughout the flight. Sources also say United wanted to terminate Mossallam’s employment, but the pilots’ union blocked the move.

One of the best parts about being a father of a young girl is their almost supernatural ability to make you laugh and smile. A five minute phone call can brighten your whole day.

No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter. Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first.
