These goofballs are politicizing the military and firing any female commander who doesn't drink the kool-aid. Shameful behavior. taskandpurpose.com/news/space-f...

🚨 Raising taxes on 60% of South Carolinians? The supermajority has lost its mind. While SC Dems fight to keep money in your pockets, the GOP’s tax plan hikes taxes on working families to give breaks to the wealthy. I won’t support it. www.postandcourier.com/politics/sou...

These 7 Airmen contributed to the war effort & I am proud to say I flew with them during our 2010 deployment. Their work should not be erased. They were/are stone-cold professionals. Erasing their history isn’t ‘rolling back wokery’—it’s just wrong. Put it back. Celebrate lethality. Move on.

I agree with Lindsey Graham that Ukraine should be granted automatic NATO membership if Russia invades again. This would serve as a powerful deterrent. Any negotiated end to the current conflict that lacks a meaningful deterrent against Russia is a bad deal. www.politico.eu/article/grah...

Don't fall for the their traps. Different Bragg. Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, WW II, earned the Silver Star & Purple Heart during the Battle of the Bulge. Is the new SecDef trolling? Yes. This is what we can expect from unserious people. However, Pfc. Roland L. Bragg is worthy of the honor.

Vouchers were meant to help low-income kids access better private schools. But the bill that just passed its second reading allows families earning $180K+ with kids already in private school to qualify. South Carolina was misled into a "welfare for the wealthy" scheme.
